Chapter 181: The Limit of Ten Days
After Ou Yan and the others' car drove away in the night, they finally took out their phones and answered, "Da Hei."
【Boss, today is the tenth day! If the Bai family's idiot still can't come up with the money, Madam Wang will sue him!】
Ou Yan remembered; indeed, this was the case.
Previously, Madam Wang and Bai Muyao signed a contract, intending for Bai Muyao to become the spokesperson for their piano brand. However, there was a condition: no negative news during the contract period, or else they would have to pay ten times the penalty.
Bai Muyao's plagiarism incident violated the contract terms. Madam Wang demanded they compensate fifty million within ten days, or else they would face court.
Today was the final day.
【Why don't we just sit back and watch Madam Wang ruin him?】
"It's not the time yet," Ou Yan ordered calmly. "Proceed as planned."
【Understood.】
At this moment, the Bai family was already in a panic. They never expected that none of the eight downtown shops they put up for sale would attract any buyers!
For a whole ten days, there were no takers!
"Is Ou Yan scheming behind the scenes? How else could it be that in ten days, not a single person is interested in buying the shops?" Xu Aiqin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Bai Zhenhai slammed the table.
"Enough! Can't you stop bringing everything back to that girl? Even if she has connections and influences, she can't possibly obstruct every potential buyer! This is about market conditions, not that girl's actions! Why can't you see that clearly? Always targeting her!"
"Then tell me, why can't the shops be sold? These are prime locations in the city center! The market price is 2.5 million per unit, and we're selling them for 2 million each!"
"How would I know!" Bai Zhenhai's impatience reached its peak. He hadn't had a decent meal or a good night's sleep in the entire ten days! He couldn't understand why their once flourishing life had suddenly turned into this!
Ever since Ou Yan left the house, less than a month had passed, and their lives had changed drastically from before!
Bai Zhenhai recalled the first half of his life. It seemed that the Bai family's business flourished more and more with that girl's presence...
Since she left, nothing had gone well...
"What do we do? In an hour, Madam Wang will sue us! They've even drafted the lawyer's letter!" Xu Aiqin was desperate. "Once they post it on the official Weibo, everyone will know about Yao Yao's plagiarism. It won't just ruin Yao Yao's reputation, but our Bai family's reputation too!"
Bai Zhenhai massaged his temples, listening to Xu Aiqin's incessant chatter, feeling even more agitated.
"If that happens, the sixty million we paid to that girl would be in vain!"
They couldn't even protect Yao Yao's reputation!!
On the side, Bai Muyao was also anxious and uneasy...
It was all that Ou Yan's fault. If it weren't for her, everything would be fine...
"Why don't you call the real estate agent again?" Xu Aiqin pleaded. "There's only half an hour left!"
"I called twenty minutes ago..."
"Call again!" Xu Aiqin thought for a moment, then a person came to mind. "The person who bought the houses and shops from us last time, ask the agent if they still have his contact information. See if he's interested, even if we offer a discount..."
As long as they could get the emergency five million from him, they could endure it! Bai Zhenhai suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. Last time, he transferred the sixty million within a short time...
That meant the person was wealthy, probably on par with him financially...
He wasn't an ordinary person!
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call!" Xu Aiqin urged, checking the time again. Only twenty-six minutes left!
Bai Zhenhai called the agent, who said they would inquire about the person. Bai Zhenhai waited anxiously...
"There are only seven minutes left, and there's no response from the agent. Could that person be asleep?" Xu Aiqin remembered it was the same time last time, and the person happened to be going to bed...
Just then, Bai Zhenhai's phone rang. He quickly answered, "What's the matter?"
"I've informed the gentleman about the location and price of the eight downtown shops you're selling. He said if fifty million can buy them, he will transfer immediately."
"Fifty, fifty million??" Although Bai Zhenhai was prepared for bargaining, he didn't expect the buyer to be even tougher than last time. Eight shops, a total of one hundred and sixty million, and the buyer wants to buy them for five million??
"Agree to him, quickly agree..." Although Xu Aiqin didn't know the exact number the buyer proposed, she couldn't care less at this point. Her daughter's reputation was the most important, and she was also very concerned about her own reputation. She didn't want to be a laughingstock...
Bai Zhenhai was heartbroken, still hesitating. Last time, they sold fourteen shops and four luxury homes, worth one hundred and eighty million, for just sixty million. Now, if they sell eight shops for just five million...
That meant they lost a total of two hundred and thirty million!!!
"I beg you..." Xu Aiqin pleaded desperately, "We can earn money again, but once our reputation is tarnished, it's irreparable!"
In the end, Bai Zhenhai gritted his teeth and agreed.
In the final minute, his phone beeped, indicating the transfer of fifty million.
Xu Aiqin cried tears of relief and quickly transferred the money to Madam Wang. After completing the transfer, she tried to contact Madam Wang on WeChat, only to find out that she had already blocked her...
"The Bai family is going to be ruined by me..." Bai Zhenhai was in despair, unable to hold back his tears, feeling like he aged ten years overnight.
"Dad, I'm sorry..." Bai Muyao saw her father in such despair for the second time!
The first time was when they lost sixty million for Ou Yan's "Tingyin".
Money meant everything to him...
"Dad, it's my fault. I will definitely bring honor to the family in the future! I swear..."
Bai Zhenhai said gloomily, "I'm afraid we won't make it until then..."
"Why?"
"A few days ago, in the design competition, our family didn't even get in the top three... On the other hand, the company where Yan Yan works, which has always been at the bottom of the fashion industry, unexpectedly gained immense popularity after the competition. Their clothes are being snatched up in stores... Our clothes aren't selling, we have no new partners, and the old ones are asking to terminate their contracts... And our houses and shops are almost sold out! The Bai family is nearly finished..."
"Don't scare yourself!" Xu Aiqin had an idea. "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow! I heard that mother occasionally wakes up recently. Although it's brief, as long as she's conscious, it's fine!"
