Chapter 361: Chapter 352: Give Some Face
Shen Yiyin waved his hand, "Don’t call him, go invite him in person. You’ve watched him grow up, Yi Jin is a good kid, he won’t disobey you!"
"Then you..." Uncle Shen looked at Shen Gongbao worriedly and asked.
Shen Gongbao waved his hand, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. What can a youngster do to an old man like me?"
"Then be careful, I will bring the young master over as soon as possible!" Uncle Shen said and walked out of the mansion.
And just as he reached the living room door, the mansion’s door swung open, and Lin Mu entered with his arm around Shen Yiyin’s shoulder, smiling cheerfully.
To those who don’t know kung fu, it seemed like they were good brothers with a close bond. But to the keen observer, one slight move from Lin Mu would instantly end Shen Yiyin’s life!
Uncle Shen glanced at Lin Mu and brushed past him, walking out.
Lin Mu turned to look back, chuckling, noting the Shen family’s experts were formidable. First Blood Kill and Du Zhan, now this old man. Although aged, his skills are definitely not inferior to Earth Wolf. Imagine how terrifying he must have been in his youth!
As Uncle Shen passed by Lin Mu, he was also shocked by the powerful aura Lin Mu exuded. Such an aura is not perceptible to ordinary people, only highly skilled individuals like Uncle Shen can clearly sense it.
Moreover, the fat guy behind Lin Mu, along with the two women, were not easy characters to deal with. Uncle Shen was somewhat surprised, wondering where such a force came from. It’s not unusual for one strong person to appear, but to bring so many with them is something that demands attention. The only way out now is to find the eldest young master, Shen Yijin, as only he could defuse the situation. Otherwise, just an old man like him couldn’t withstand their blows!
Shen Gongbao saw Lin Mu and his group, smiled and stood up with his cane, "Haha, we have visitors! Sorry for not welcoming you earlier, my apologies!"
"Hello, Elder Shen!" Lin Mu responded with a cheerful smile, as if they were old acquaintances, despite the fact that they didn’t know each other at all. You don’t hit someone who smiles at you, right?
Shen Gongbao glared at Shen Yiyin, then warmly gestured to Lin Mu and his group, "Come, take a seat here."
This old guy Shen Gongbao was tactful and polite. If he had come out with a sour face from the start, he would’ve been in trouble for sure! This way, the atmosphere isn’t too bad at least!
Lin Mu didn’t stand on ceremony, he sat down with a smile, Qi Manlin sat next to him, while Earth Wolf, Zhou Furong, and Guo Meimei stood behind Lin Mu. noveldrama
As for Shen Yiyin, he stood beside Shen Gongbao like a deflated balloon, with a miserable look on his face. Normally, he’s so arrogant, not putting anyone in his eye. Now that something’s happened, he’s like an eggplant in frost, silently digging a pit, truly a disgrace!
"I wonder why you all have come today?" Shen Gongbao asked Lin Mu.
"Elder, to be frank, your precious son destroyed a batch of our goods at sea a few days ago, worth about a billion. So we came to Zhujiang Island to investigate and found out it was your son’s doing!" Lin Mu said with a smile, but his voice was sharp.
Shen Gongbao glanced at his troublemaking son, already aware of the incident, but didn’t expect the other party’s power to be so great. Shen Gongbao, in his sixties or seventies, had seen all sorts of storms, and could instantly tell that Lin Mu and his group were not to be trifled with!
To boldly bring just a handful of people to the Shen family to stir trouble, Lin Mu must be the first. Who on Zhujiang Island doesn’t fear the Shen family? But Lin Mu had this capability, bringing just these few to demand an explanation, requiring not only courage but also great strength, super strength indeed!
Hence, Shen Gongbao had some admiration for Lin Mu’s guts, this young man was quite like how he was in his own youth, almost like his younger self! So, he dared not underestimate Lin Mu.
"Yi Yin, is this true?" Shen Gongbao’s voice was cold as he questioned Shen Yiyin.
"Dad, I was just following someone else’s orders." Shen Yiyin said with a miserable expression.
Now, Shen Gongbao had to put on a show, at least to give Lin Mu enough face so discussion could proceed smoothly.
Shen Gongbao stood up from the sofa with his cane! Slap! He struck Shen Yiyin across the face!
Instantly, Shen Yiyin’s entire left cheek swelled up!
"Dad..." Shen Yiyin looked at Shen Gongbao, feeling wronged. In his memory, his father had never hit him like this.
"Shut up!" Shen Yiyin roared, his voice laced with an undeniable authority.
Shen Yiyin glanced at Shen Gongbao, as if about to speak but didn’t!
"I’ve spoiled you! Treating the world like it’s beneath you!" Shen Gongbao said angrily, sitting back on the sofa.
"Oh, Elder, don’t be angry, young people, they all make mistakes." Lin Mu laughingly reassured.
Qi Manlin rolled her eyes at Lin Mu beside her, thinking he was putting on airs, pretending to be mature, though she still felt satisfied with Lin Mu’s current mature and steady mindset!
"It’s because of my poor supervision that caused you guys a loss. How about this, we will compensate you for your losses in full!" Shen Gongbao suggested.
"Haha, Elder might not know, these goods were quite valuable, at least worth a billion. On top of that, our company was forced into bankruptcy leading to contractual disputes with our partners, all these will require a lot of money. We initially planned to ask for two billion, but considering Elder’s attitude, we will settle for 1.5 billion!" Lin Mu said.
Lin Mu’s words were smartly spoken, it was about numbers. Initially, they demanded two billion, but now giving Shen Gongbao a concession by reducing it by five hundred million, allowing both sides to save face.
But 1.5 billion is no small amount for Shen Gongbao. It wasn’t just about taking out the money, taking it out could disrupt his business’s financial chain, resulting in tremendous losses!
And money doesn’t grow on trees, even if he had it, Shen Gongbao wouldn’t readily dish out 1.5 billion for compensation!
"Young man, 1.5 billion is quite a large sum, it’s too excessive! Don’t take an old man for a fool. I’m somewhat aware of that incident, if I’m not mistaken, your loss was at most a billion. According to the contract with the employer, you should only bear 60%, that’s only six hundred million, yet you’re asking for so much more, is that really fair?" Shen Gongbao asked Lin Mu.
What do you think?
