Chapter 152 No Pay Without Work
"Lady Liang, rest assured, the company will add two thousand yuan per square meter on top of the previous amount,"
"With this, each square meter will now be five thousand yuan, okay..."
Liang Caiming was quite satisfied with Duan Zhengfeng's response.
It at least helped everyone obtain a bit more money, and she had secured some for herself as well.
"No, no, the company's previous rate was eight thousand yuan per square meter. By adding two thousand, it will be ten thousand yuan per square meter," Duan Zhengfeng quickly corrected.
Because of this matter, many people would definitely hold grudges against the company.
Now that the company was aware of the issue, they would definitely try to compensate as much as possible and apologize.
"What! Ten thousand yuan per square!" Liang Caiming was shocked by the price.
By these calculations, what was originally three hundred thousand for one hundred square meters would now be one million!
That was more than triple!
"Caiming, everyone had misunderstood the Wanqing Group before. The reason the price was low was all Wang Ping's doing,"
Seeing Liang Caiming so astonished, Xia Liu explained with a bitter smile.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Xia, otherwise the company wouldn't know how much it had lost."
Every word from Duan Zhengfeng was sincere; if Wang Ping had not been dealt with, more and more people would harbor resentment against the Wanqing Group in the future.
The reputation of a company is far more important than making money.
Without a reputation, it wouldn't be long before the company declined, or even left with a perpetual bad name.
"I'll immediately tell my neighbors the news!" After confirming it once again, Liang Caiming was completely thrilled.
She took out her phone and started dialing all the saved numbers, informing them of the news as soon as possible.
While Liang Caiming was making calls, Mo Wanqing also arrived at the scene.
She arrived and directly scolded Wang Ping.
The latter didn't dare say a word, only offering endless apologies.
Wang Ping understood that only by showing a pitiable attitude, there was a chance that Mo Wanqing might not pursue his misbehavior further.
But Mo Wanqing's heart remained unchanged, especially after the previous incident with Wu Mingde.
She decided to completely clean up the company, not allowing any bad elements to remain.
In the end, Wang Ping was taken away by the police, awaiting what would be a myriad of criminal charges!
"Xia Liu, Aunt really has to thank you properly this time," Mo Wanqing approached Xia Liu after dealing with Wang Ping.
She was often busy with social engagements, and had delegated the management of the company's affairs to others.
Even with personal management, there were bound to be some who slipped through the net.
But now, as Xia Liu had exposed two big fishes, how could Mo Wanqing not be grateful.
"Aunt Qing is being too polite, I just happened to stumble upon it."
"I don't think it was just a coincidence? You don't often come to the city, so..."
As Mo Wanqing spoke, her gaze repeatedly glanced towards Liang Caiming, who stood behind Xia Liu with her head lowered.
Honestly, she was a bit confused about who exactly was Xia Liu's wife or girlfriend.
Every time she saw him, he was accompanied by different women.
When he went to Osmanthus Village, the beauties were even more numerous.
What's frightening is that each of those women was exceptionally beautiful, all of supreme-grade Mortal World beauties.
This time was even more exaggerated; the girl accompanying Xia Liu looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, it couldn't be...
"Aunt Qing, don't misunderstand, her name is Liang Caiming, she's a resident here. Discovering Wang Ping as the pest was all due to Caiming's efforts."
Seeing the strange gleam in Mo Wanqing's eyes, Xia Liu hurriedly explained.
But his explanations seemed to go unheard by Mo Wanqing, who responded with a knowing look.
"Caiming, hello, I am Mo Wanqing. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting," she said.
"You are Mo Wanqing!" Liang Caiming exclaimed in shock as she looked at Mo Wanqing.
This name had long become legendary in Binlai City, and she had never expected that she would one day meet this legendary figure in person.
Wait a moment!
Liang Caiming suddenly thought of something. Had Xia Liu just called Mo Wanqing Aunt? Were the two of them relatives?
This made her puzzled. If Xia Liu had come to seek a partnership with her, it must definitely be about fishing.
Moreover, with his skills, would he have sunk to fishing to earn money?
"Um, little sister, is this your home? May I take a look inside?"
"Uh, yes…" Liang Caiming's face turned slightly flushed.
She had been called "little sister" again, but no matter; after dissolving her preconceptions about Wanqing Group, she felt so fortunate to be in conversation with Mo Wanqing.
Liang Caiming then led Mo Wanqing, Xia Liu, and Duan Zhengfeng up to a small apartment on the third floor.
The apartment was scrupulously clean, and there wasn't much furniture.
The decor had aged quite a bit, and the walls were pitted and uneven.
"Caiming, this house is at most forty square meters. At ten thousand per square meter, the money won't buy a good house," Xia Liu remarked, shaking his head after surveying the apartment.
"That's okay, as long as I have a place to live," Liang Caiming replied, her voice tinged with bitterness.
After selling the house, she could use the money to help with her mother's medical expenses, and perhaps there would be some left over to pay for rent...
"Caiming, you helped me a lot today, and I want to give you an apartment," Mo Wanqing offered.
She was sincere; without Liang Caiming, she wouldn't have learned about the tricky situation with Wang Ping.
"Thank you, Boss Mo, but I cannot accept. I hope you can compensate everyone else quickly," she declined.
"Caiming, you shouldn't be formal with me," Mo Wanqing urged.
"Thank you, but I shouldn't accept reward without merit, so I truly can't accept it."
Liang Caiming longed for a good place to live, but accepting this once would mean accepting more help in the future.
One shouldn't live like that. Only the things earned from one's own work could truly bring peace of mind.
Though the path of striving was tiring, it was fulfilling, and wasn't that what life was about?
Seeing Liang Caiming's resolve, Mo Wanqing had to give up.
"However, I do have one request—could this money be arranged quickly?"
Oh?
"Caiming, are you facing some kind of difficulty?" Xia Liu realized something was amiss and quickly asked.
"It's not too difficult, just some special circumstances," she replied.
"General Manager, could you quickly calculate this and then have the accounts department transfer the money to Caiming's account?"
Liang Caiming didn't clarify, but everyone present knew she must be facing an issue. Since money could solve it, it should be resolved quickly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Following Mo Wanqing's order, Duan Zhengfeng immediately began measuring the apartment.
In the end, under Mo Wanqing's expectant gaze, he announced a measurement of sixty square meters. Stay tuned for updates on empire
"This couldn't possibly be sixty square meters," Liang Caiming said with a bitter tone.
"One can't determine the size of an apartment just by looking. After professional measurement, it's fifty-nine square meters, so we round it up to sixty," Duan Zhengfeng stated seriously.
...
Liang Caiming had nothing more to say, understanding in her heart that this was Mo Wanqing's doing, and that the apartment probably wasn't even fifty square meters.
Just as Mo Wanqing was about to speak, Liang Caiming's phone rang.
After seeing the caller ID, her pupils dilated and she quickly pressed the answer button...
