Chapter 848: Eight hundred forty-three, fifty thousand yuan to send off

"Well then, I’ll work for your company, and you don’t need to pay me too much salary. Just give me the same salary as a normal employee."

All of a sudden, this man changed his tune and didn’t continue to ask for money, but instead suddenly proposed to work at the company.

As soon as Ji Pianran heard this, he immediately became anxious. How could he possibly let this person come to work at the company?

With so many people in the company, and he knows nothing, wouldn’t his presence just add chaos to the company?

"No, the company currently doesn’t have that many spare positions for you to fill.

You should think of another way. If you’re out of money, go borrow some.

Don’t always come to me.

I’m running a business, not a money printing factory. Where would I get so much money to help you?"

At this point, Ji Pianran firmly refused him, making his stance clear.

When he heard Ji Pianran say this, his face clearly showed anger.

"Don’t you remember our past relationship? My shoulder was fractured in six places because of you.

Now you’re speaking to me like this, it’s too cold, too heartless.

Were all those things you said to me in the past just lies?"

The man seemed to be insisting stubbornly, standing there unmoved no matter what Ji Pianran said.

Just then, Gu Zhen slowly spoke up.

"How much money do you want?"

Gu Zhen wanted to hear what this man was thinking, how much money he wanted.

When the man heard Gu Zhen’s question, he immediately turned his gaze towards him, his look one of suspicion.

It seemed he was unsure of Gu Zhen’s identity, but since Gu Zhen had asked, he brazenly replied:

"I’m not asking for much, just another one hundred thousand yuan, and I’ll never come back."

When he mentioned this amount, Ji Pianran felt surprised. Everyone present, all the employees, seemed completely caught off guard, nobody expected him to ask for as much as one hundred thousand yuan at once.

Was he planning to buy a car or a house? That’s an audacious amount of money to ask for; it’s practically robbery!

Even if someone died, you couldn’t get that much money.

At this moment, everyone was very puzzled, not understanding how he dared.

But after saying it, the man didn’t seem to care, even feeling like the amount he was asking for wasn’t excessive.

Gu Zhen was also surprised by the figure he wanted but then responded indifferently.

"One hundred thousand yuan is too much. Even if I break your bones now, I wouldn’t need to compensate you with one hundred thousand yuan. You’re being overly imaginative. Try stating a real number instead."

Gu Zhen felt this guy was asking for too much; daring to ask for one hundred thousand yuan took some nerve.

You know, there’s so much that can be done with one hundred thousand yuan. Daring to ask like this, isn’t he just taking Ji Pianran for a sucker?

At this time, Ji Pianran was even more furious, and he said directly to the man.

"I won’t give you a penny. Leave now! If you don’t leave, I’ll call security."

Ji Pianran found it embarrassing enough that this man was calling him ’Ranran’ in front of so many people, and his outrageous demand only fueled his anger. The man’s face changed instantly upon hearing the kid threatening to call security.

"Ji Pianran, even if you’ve become wealthy, you shouldn’t forget your roots."

Back then, your family was all set on arranging a marriage between you and me.

Now that the arranged marriage fell through, I’m not concerned with it. What’s wrong if I ask for some money?

My bones still ache, and I can’t even take care of myself.

I don’t bother you on normal days; I’m just asking you for some money now.

Can’t you even satisfy this small request of mine?

Could it be that you’ve become so ungrateful after getting rich, that you don’t care about all that happened in the past? In your eyes, money is more important than anything else."

The man accused Ji Pianran bitterly, as if what she had done was unconscionable.

At this time, Ji Pianran felt very innocent and wronged; she had already given him nearly a hundred thousand yuan before.

But now he was asking for another hundred thousand.

Of course, she couldn’t accept that. Time and time again, who knows when it would end?

So, at this moment, she was extremely angry and wasn’t planning on continuing to be the scapegoat, on giving out more money.

However, Gu Zhen remained very composed at this time.

"At most fifty thousand yuan, after giving you this fifty thousand,

You cannot bother him ever again.

Your affairs no longer involve him.

If you agree, I can give you the money right now.

If you don’t agree, then continue making a scene here.

But I must remind you that you will be responsible for any consequences if you continue this way, I just hope you won’t regret it later."

Gu Zhen still hoped to resolve the matter with money, seeking peace and quiet.

After all, continued commotion would negatively affect Ji Pianran.

He would rather spend some money to quickly put an end to this affair.

A few tens of thousands were already his limit because he felt that this matter wasn’t worth a six-figure sum.

After hearing Gu Zhen’s words, the man showed obvious hesitation on his face, seemingly weighing whether a few tens of thousands were enough.

He looked at Ji Pianran, and it was clear that she intended not to give a single penny.

In that case, he really didn’t have many options left – take the money and leave now, or end up with nothing.

If he continued to make trouble, pushing Ji Pianran to the limit, he knew he might truly have to face some consequences.

That would be a loss not worth the cost.

"Alright, for the sake of our past relationship of so many years, fifty thousand it is,"

Said the man, as if he was the one who had been greatly wronged.

At that moment, Ji Pianran was truly unable to contain her anger. She really had no intention of giving that undeserved money. However, Gu Zhen dismissed it casually with a wave of his hand, clearly indicating not to worry too much about it.

Gu Zhen then took out the several tens of thousands of yuan. Upon seeing the money, the man seemed even happier than if he had seen his own father, taking the cash and leaving with a grin.

Gu Zhen then turned to look at Ji Pianran, who was visibly fuming.

To her, it was no different from direct extortion, and naturally, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

"Let’s quickly settle this matter and keep the peace. Making a fuss isn’t beneficial for either of us," Gu Zhen said to her
