So Pure, So Flirtatious

“This…” Li Tianyu listened to General Kars’ words and was somewhat at a loss for words suddenly. Indeed, they already came to an agreement that the mine would be contracted to the Li Family at half price.

However, the Li Family wanted the Huang Family to pay half of the rent. The Li Family wanted to take the best interest from others’ work. Not only did the elder brother, Li Tianjia, wish to marry Huang Lele, but he also wanted to get half of the management rights of the mine for free. It was merely a daydream.

What the Li Family paid was nothing more than the connection with General Kars. But now half of the Huang Family’s funds were not paid, and the Li Family had not given General Kars the money. At this time, when General Kars asked, Li Tianyu felt somewhat guilty.

“General Kars, I will urge my family to pay as soon as possible…” said Li Tianyu quickly.

“It doesn’t matter if you pay the rent or not. I don’t intend to rent this mine to you!” General Kars didn’t like the youngest son of the Li Family who was stupid and had no brains. He always thought General Kars owed him. He would call General Kars when he was a little troubled and would never find a solution on his own.

Moreover, Yang Ming completed the mission in an excellent manner. General Kars was about to give the gold mine to Yang Ming along with the reward to leave a good impression on Yang Ming. General Kars did not have many resources on hand. He only had two gold mines as a reward, but this was the reward promised earlier. Even if he gave it to Yang Ming, Yang Ming deserved it.

Therefore, to establish a closer and friendlier relationship with Yang Ming, General Kars decided to add something for Yang Ming so that he could show his sincerity.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

After the meeting, only the gold mine of the Huang Family was left aside currently. It could be given to Yang Ming as a gift. The others were really not available for the time being.

The rent from the Li Family did not come through, and General Kars had another reason to reclaim the gold mine.

“What?” Li Tianyu was shocked. He said quickly, “General Kars, you can’t do this. How can you not rent it to us? Our Li Family has been your loyal supporter from the very beginning when you just started…”

“Forget the nonsense. I have already halved the rent of the mine. I have given my utmost benevolence!” General Kars said with impatience, “However, your side is delaying the rent. Even if our relationship is good, you can’t do that. Alright, there is no need to talk anymore. It just so happened you have reminded me through the phone. I will send someone to take over the gold mine!”

“General Kars, I will call the family and let them prepare the rent!” Li Tianyu said quickly.

“Let’s talk again after you are ready.” General Kars hung up the phone impatiently.

However, if General Kars could teach Yang Ming a lesson for Li Tianyu, he would still feel refreshed. Li Tianyu did not dare to delay and quickly called his elder brother, Li Tianjia.

Li Tianjia was in a meeting at the company when his phone rang all of a sudden. When he saw it was a phone number from Africa, he quickly gestured for others to wait as he picked up the phone. “Hi, hello.”

Since the phone call from Africa only showed the transit area code but did not display the specific number, Li Tianjia did not know whether the caller was General Kars or his younger brother, Li Tianyu.

“Elder brother, this is Tianyu.” Li Tianyu said anxiously on the phone.

“Tianyu, what happened? What’s wrong? Why are you in such a panic?” asked Li Tianjia quickly.

“Elder brother, something happened!” Li Tianyu said, “Just now, my brothers and I were in the mine, but suddenly, some external armed forces rushed in and said they were taking the mine on behalf of the Huang Family!”

“Huang Family? Impossible. If the Huang Family has the capability, they did not have to beg us!” Li Tianjia was baffled after listening.

“That’s right!” Li Tianyu said, “I also doubt the identity of these people. However, their leader is an Asian who can speak Chinese, and he even claimed Huang Lele to be his wife…”

“What is that nonsense?” Li Tianjia frowned. “I have never heard of the Huang Family having such powerful character! Have you not mobilized our family’s armed forces in Country X?”

“Their people have the latest heavy machine guns in their hands. Our people can’t be their opponents at all!” Li Tianyu was not stupid. “Their equipment is too advanced. They seem professional at first glance!”

“No way? Are they so powerful? It’s even more unlikely to be the Huang Family. Are there other local armed forces who got to know about this matter and coveted our gold mine? They might want to use this impersonation as a reason to occupy our gold mine.” Li Tianjia analyzed.

“I think this is also possible! What should we do now?” said Li Tianyu.

“You have to contact General Kars of course. He is the helper of our Li Family. Our business in Country X depends on him,” said Li Tianjia.

“I have contacted him…” Li Tianyu sighed. “However, General Kars said that our rent was not paid yet, so he is not planning to rent it to us. He is going to bring some people over to reclaim the mine. Elder Brother, my phone call this time is mainly about this matter. What is the attitude of the Huang Family over there? When can the money be paid?”

“Did General Kars really say this?” Li Tianjia frowned after listening. This would be a big problem. Since there was no news from the Huang Family, would this matter be over just like that?

Li Tianjia was really reluctant. Africa’s gold mine was a big cake! The Li Family could become Singapore’s noble family at once, but now…

“It’s true!” Li Tianyu said, “I can’t joke about such a serious matter!”

“Alright, I will look into it as soon as possible and raise funds!” Li Tianjia did not dare to delay and replied quickly.

“Okay, I am waiting for your message here!” said Li Tianyu.

Hanging up the phone, Li Tianjia did not dare to delay. He adjourned the meeting immediately. The middle leaders of the company were stunned. After the CEO took a call, the meeting was adjourned. But they didn’t ask much. As they saw the CEO had already left the conference room, the others stood up and returned to their respective jobs.

After Li Tianjia went out of the conference room, he rushed to the chairman’s office where his father was at. Now, Li Tianjia was in charge of many of the company’s affairs, but the final decision was up to Li Tianjia’s father, Li Zhichun.

Seeing Li Tianjia rush in, Li Zhichun, who was reviewing documents, frowned. “How old are you? You are still so reckless in doing things! How can you accomplish great deeds?!”

“Father, something serious happened!” Li Tianjia also did not bother to explain and said hurriedly.

“What’s the big deal?” Li Zhiyi said as he glared at his eldest son, “What serious matter can happen? For this whole day, you…”

“Father, it’s really a big deal!” Li Tianjia said in a panic, “Something is going wrong in Africa!”

“Africa? What the hell is going on?” Li Zhiyi was nervous as soon as he heard it.

“A group of unidentified people who claim to be from the Huang Family brought armed forces and occupied the gold mine!” said Li Tianjia.

“Huang Family?” Li Zhiyi said in shock, “What a joke? How could the Huang Family have such strength?”

“They did not, in fact. Tianyu and I also analyzed as such. We suspect that another group of local armed forces know the inside story and covet our gold mine, and they want to take this reason to occupy our gold mine!” Li Tianjia said, “This group of armed forces is very strong. Our people are not their opponents at all!”

“Oh? Did you go to General Kars?” Li Zhichun asked quickly.

“We have gone to him, but…” Li Tianjia sighed. “But General Kars said our rent is not paid. He is ready to take back the gold mine.”

Li Zhichun listened to Li Tianjia’s words, and his face turned gloomy. Indeed, the rental fee from his own side was not paid yet. It was normal for General Kars to have opinions, but for this money, Li Zhichun wanted the Huang Family to fork it out rather than them. Hence, they did not send the money over yet.

But now, obviously, it couldn’t be dragged on anymore. General Kars was already impatient. He had to hurry.

“Alright, I got it. You should go out first. I will contact the Huang Family!” Li Zhichun nodded and said to Li Tianjia.

“Yes, father!” Li Tianjia left his father’s office and sighed. He already knew Huang Lele’s attitude. Probably this issue would be left hanging unless the Huang Family forced Huang Lele to marry. Otherwise, there would be no result on the matter.

“Ai!” After Li Tianjia left, Li Zhichun sighed and began to think about it.

The gold mine in Country X in Africa was very rich in content. If they seized the opportunity and mined, not only they would not lose money, but they would also make a lot of money! If the Li Family funded it solely, it was not impossible, but Li Zhichun was not willing.

With that, the Li Family’s domestic business would undoubtedly be affected. Most of the funds would flow into Country X in Africa. If anything went wrong, then the Li Family would be put in a position of eternal loss!

This situation was possible. The Huang Family was a living example! Although the Li Family had more confidence in the strength of General Kars, anything can happen in the war-torn country.

Now General Kars was indeed well off, but who knows what will happen in the future? So Li Zhichun had to be careful.

After thinking for a long time, Li Zhichun finally decided to call the Huang Family’s father.

“Mr. Huang? I am Li Zhichun!” Li Zhichun called Huang Xiaofei of the Huang Family.

“Mr. Li, hi!” Huang Xiaofei said quickly, “What’s the matter that made you call?”

“It’s still about the gold mine in Country X. I wonder if you have finished considering it. General Kars said that if you don’t pay the rent, he has to take it back!”

“Ah!” Huang Xiaofei was shocked after hearing it. “He wants to take it back? What can I do?”

When Li Zhichun heard the words of Huang Xiaofei, he knew that the people in Country X were definitely not the people from the Huang Family. Otherwise, Huang Xiaofei would definitely not have this reaction.

“Hurry up and raise funds!” Li Zhichun said, “Also, what happened to Lele’s matter?”

“I will hurry up here. You can rest assured! I will go to persuade Lele immediately… But what about the money? What do you think?” Huang Xiaofei said in a dilemma.

“I can’t do anything about money. You know, we have a lot of business in the Li Family. The funds are not so easy to raise. So, you have to find your own ways!” said Li Zhichun.

“Can’t you give us a little support?” Huang Xiaofei was a little annoyed. He thought, What is wrong with you!? Not only do you want my daughter to be your daughter-in-law, but you also wanted to divide half of my gold mine, and yet you don’t fork out a penny. Can you really think of such a good thing?

“I’m afraid it won’t work!” Li Zhichun was now taking advantage of Huang Xiaofei needing his help, so he was still firm with his words.

“Alright, then I will think of something!” Huang Xiaofei said helplessly. He really didn’t want to give up the gold mine in Country X of Africa. If he gave up, then the Huang Family would have no face.

“En, you should hurry. Time doesn’t wait for people. When General Kars retrieves the gold mine, then everything will be too late!” In fact, Li Zhichun’s heart was also very anxious. He did not want to lose such a good opportunity to earn money.

“I understand.” Huang Xiaofei sighed and hung up.

Although he was very angry with Li Zhichun’s approach, Huang Xiaofei also couldn’t be helped. Beggars can’t be choosy. He couldn’t stand in the Country X without relying on the Li Family’s power.

Thinking of this, Huang Xiaofei reluctantly called his eldest son, Huang Rongtian, to his study.

“Father, were you looking for me?” Huang Rongtian was heading to the company, but the old butler informed him that the master was waiting for him in his study. Huang Rongtian hurriedly took off his coat and went to the study.

“En, there is a serious matter to discuss with you.” Huang Xiaofei said with a grim expression.

“What is it, Father?!” Huang Rongtian sat on the sofa opposite his father and asked with respect.

“It’s still the matter about that gold mine in Country X in Africa!” Huang Xiaofei said, “The Li Family’s master called and told me that if the funds are not paid, General Kars will retrieve the gold mine!”

“Ah!” Huang Rongtian immediately exclaimed after listening, “Is it really going to be reclaimed? Our previous contract is completely void?”

“This is the case…” Huang Xiaofei smiled bitterly. “The provisional government over there has changed, and our contract became waste paper!”

“But our group now is out of cash to deal with all these problems. There is no spare cash to pay for the rent at the Country X mine! Moreover, we are still in arrears with the bank loan!” Huang Rongtian said.

“Doesn’t Lele still have a sum of money…?” Huang Xiaofei thought of the forty billion patacas in Huang Lele’s hands…

“The money in Lele’s hand, can she take it out?” Huang Rongtian smiled after listening, “Dad, you should not trouble our little sister…”

“Rongtian, what’s the matter with you? Didn’t you always stand on my side? How did you become a traitor?” Huang Xiaofei spoke in anger and shock after listening to Huang Rongtian’s words.

“Father, I stood by your side before because of the family’s position, but now that I see my little sister is unhappy, I can’t bear it anymore. Lele has lost weight for that!” Huang Rongtian said, “Moreover, although the gold mine in Country X in Africa seems to have huge benefits, it is actually very risky! Just like we had already signed a contract with the previous interim regime, but the interim regime has changed, so our contract became invalid! In this case, the risk is too big! I think if you talk to Lele and use this money to develop our family’s career in the local area, Lele will definitely agree. If you insist on investing it in Country X, I’m afraid…”

“I know that there is a difficulty! If there were no difficulty, I would have already taken the money from Lele!” Huang Xiaofei said in anger, “Have you considered it? If we quit now, how will the people here look at our Huang Family? They will say that we are incapable. They will look down on us! In the future, we will lose the Huang Family’s reputation in the upper class!”

“But, you can’t take this risk because of reputation problems!” Huang Rongtian was still more rational. “Father, I also considered a lot during this time. We are not so capable, and we can’t play a part in Country X. So, regarding the gold mine, my opinion is to give up! Although it is bad for our reputation, we shouldn’t fall into bankruptcy just because of that!

“What bankruptcy? Initially, we are incapable, but don’t we have the Li Family now?” Huang Xiaofei said very stubbornly, “The Li Family is very good in Country X. He is very familiar with General Kars, and also has his own local armed forces. With his participation, how can we not make money?”

“The Li Family is indeed familiar with General Kars. This is true! But who can guarantee that General Kars will always be in power? If one day he falls, we still have to face the same fate, right?” Huang Rongtian persuaded.

“Is the Li Family so easily offended? They also have armed forces in the local area!” said Huang Xiaofei.

“It’s true that they have armed forces, and I have confirmed this! But their armed forces…” Huang Rongtian spoke until here and shook his head. “If their armed forces are in our local area, it must be the head of the underworld. But in Country X, it really is nothing! A power of fewer than one hundred people is far worse than the real power of others. If people really want to engage them, the power of this one hundred people is nothing, and they will be easily defeated!”

“As long as we make money, we can continue to expand the armed forces! General Kars is unlikely to step down for a while! Within this period, we continue to grow ourselves. What can’t be done?” Huang Xiaofei insisted.

“Fine. Let’s discuss it with Lele and see what her opinion is!” Huang Rongtian noticed that he could not argue with his father, so he helplessly pushed the decision to Huang Lele.
