Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Even in a metropolis, people who keep their word are a minority.

Even knowing that breaking promises will be punished by some unseen force, most people still care more about immediate gains.

After all, without the present, there is no future.

But Liu Zheng is different; he has always had a good memory, especially when it comes to holding grudges.

Defeat breeds resentment, victory leads to retaliation and revenge.

He'll hold a grudge forever because the company won't let him go.

If the company dares to kill someone again, Liu Zheng will definitely turn Green Shade Culture from a listed company into a funeral parlor.

The problem is that he can't stay in the Metropolis for that many years.

After Liu Zheng leaves this world, Green Shade Culture will initially be afraid of his lingering influence and dare not take action, but it's hard to say what will happen after a long time.

Even without Green Shade Culture taking action, those he offended might vent their anger on Shui Sisan's family.

"It's too long, I can't wait."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

“Mr. Liu, you also need to consider the company’s position. At this critical time, the company cannot allow any destabilizing factors to exist outside.”

The deputy director said with difficulty.

“I can send them out of the city and bring them back after things have settled down.”

He thought for a moment and said.

"Please wait."

The deputy director was stunned again.

“No, they cannot be out of the company’s control for at least two years.”

Soon, it spoke.

The deputy director's message, though seemingly forceful, actually represented a step back.

"It's still too long."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"This is already the company's bottom line."

The deputy director shook his head.

"No need to talk?"

"The company has already shown great sincerity; it's just that you, Mr. Liu, haven't given the company any room for negotiation."

"That's what the deputy director said."

"Um"

Indeed, from the company's perspective, they have already made significant concessions; it is Liu Zheng who has been the one pushing and shoving.

From Liu Zheng's perspective, Wang Manni is still with the company, and Shui Sisi's family is also under the company's control, so it would be unwise to directly break ties with them.

How can we break this deadlock?

He was lost in thought.

The deputy director didn't urge him, but waited quietly for the next development.

"There is."

Liu Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"You just said that the company can give me shares worth seven million, and also lend me a two-year interest-free loan of seven million, right?"

He said.

"Yes, but if the loan cannot be fully repaid by the due date, equity will be used to repay the loan."

The deputy director corrected.

"Your company promised Shui Sisan that if he died in the line of duty, you would give his family a compensation of 500,000 yuan, right?"

Liu Zheng said.

".right."

The deputy director hesitated for a moment, but then admitted it.

"How about this, let's exchange all the 500,000 yuan in compensation for shares in your company."

"Mr. Liu may not understand the company's business. Exchanging cash for equity is a special treatment the company is giving you. The actual value of the 500,000 yuan equity is far more than 500,000 yuan."

The deputy director shook his head.

“That’s simple. Give 500,000 of my 7 million shares to Shui Sisan’s family and give me their 500,000 compensation.”

He said immediately.

"Please wait a moment."

The deputy director lost power again.

What is the company's purpose in asking you this question?

It spoke quickly.

"It's very simple. Shui Sisan committed suicide, and I can prove that. So his family doesn't have any deep-seated hatred for your company. Although he's dead, he still has elderly parents and young children to support, and life goes on."

"Owning shares in the company binds them to the company, gives them hope for the future, and makes them aware that the value is about to skyrocket."

"Under these circumstances, as long as Shui Sisan's family members are of sound mind, they would never do anything detrimental to the company, right?"

Liu Zheng spoke eloquently.

"Um"

Upon hearing this, the deputy director fell silent again, but this time he didn't shut down; instead, his eyes flashed.

"Mr. Liu may not know that Shui Sishisan's wife is pregnant."

It said softly.

"Huh? Is it his?"

Liu Zheng asked instinctively.

"Uh, our company hasn't stooped that low. Don't worry, it's been checked, it's Shui Sisan himself."

The deputy director said, somewhat speechless.

"Boy or girl?"

he asked.

"boy."

"Isn't that perfect? ​​Having both a son and a daughter gives us so much to look forward to. He's gone now, but even Shui Sisan himself would hope that they would work together with the company to move towards a brighter tomorrow."

Liu Zheng's official statements are uttered off the cuff.

"Just a moment."

The deputy director was stunned again.

"The company has agreed to your proposal. However, in this case, the 6.5 million shares can only be loaned to you as a loan of 6.5 million, plus an additional 500,000 in compensation for Shui Shisan."

It took a long time for it to speak again this time.

"can."

Liu Zheng nodded.

As long as I end up with seven million, that's fine.

"Okay, I'll print the contract right away."

After the deputy director finished speaking, he took a printer model out of his pocket and carefully placed it on the ground.

"big big big!"

It formed a hand seal and shouted at the printer model.

With each shout, the printer model grows larger until it reaches the size of a normal printer.

"This is the latest portable printer, and one unit is worth more than 100,000 yuan."

The deputy director explained.

"Is this password included with the device?"

Liu Zheng asked casually.

"No, I set it myself."

The deputy director replied.

"Oh~"

He glanced meaningfully at the deputy director's lower body.

The deputy director ignored his gaze and started operating the printer.

Soon, four contracts were printed out.

Two documents are loan agreements, and two are equity transfer agreements.

Liu Zheng carefully read both contracts several times, and only signed his name after confirming that there were no problems.

The deputy director also affixed the company seal and gave Liu Zheng his two contracts.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Liu."

The negotiations were successfully completed, and the deputy director breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it wasn't as deeply intertwined with Liu Zheng as Wang Manni, their relationship was still quite close.

If Liu Zheng completely breaks ties with the company, he will definitely not escape unscathed, and at least he will not be able to enjoy the good fortune he has now.

"We're family, no need to be so polite."

Liu Zheng patted the deputy director on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes, we are family now."

The deputy director also smiled.

Chapter 533 The Silver Wolf's Troubles

When will you bring the person over?

Liu Zheng asked.

“They’re nearby, we can have them come over right away.”

"That's what the deputy director said."

"Then let's hurry, I don't have much time."

He said.

"Okay, please wait a few minutes."

The two waited quietly. Soon, a tall woman with light brown hair walked towards them carrying a baby, followed by two middle-aged and elderly people.

The woman and the old man had complex expressions on their faces, including sadness, confusion, worry, and fear.

Only the baby in my arms didn't have so many thoughts, constantly looking around at the scenery, its eyes full of curiosity.

But she was also influenced by the adults to some extent, and just watched quietly without laughing or crying.

"Let me be alone with them for a while?"

After they walked to the side, Liu Zhengchao, the deputy director, raised his chin.

"of course."

The deputy director wisely walked a distance away.
