Chapter 96 - Give Me All the Money, This Is an Order

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Indeed, Wanke Real Estate had a high market value. Its annual profits were at least 10 billion yuan. It could be considered a money tree.

They only had tens of millions of yuan at the moment, which was not enough to execute their plan.

However, they had already invested all their money, so how could they have extra money to follow through with the plan?

The two of them fell into deep thought.

Lu Ze seemed to have thought of a good idea and said, “Mom, why don’t we go for a few rounds of gambling? Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to win some money?”

“How can it be so simple at casinos?”

Tang Wenyi knew that in the early stages, they would basically win a few rounds. But in the end, not only would they have to spit out the money they won, they would have lost money several times. With Lu Ze’s character, he would definitely become addicted.

By then, her plan would be ruined and it might even cause a devastating blow to her family.

Tang Wenyi was well aware of her son’s temper. He could not resist such temptations at all. She rubbed the top of his head and said, “Ah Ze, this method won’t work. The customers there never earn money.”

Unless they are exceptionally lucky.

She had seen too much in the capital. Old Master Tang had brought them to visit once and had never let them get involved in such things. Gambling was prohibited. If they were found out, they would be punished according to the family rules.

Although the old man was in Beijing, no one knew if he had planted anyone in Shanghai to monitor their every move.

She could not take any chances.

“Is there another way?”

Lu Ze said unhappily, “Dad doesn’t allow me to touch his money. I asked Assistant Wei to bring the bank card over. He looked like I wanted his life and refused to give it to me!”

After this reminder, Tang Wenyi said, “I have a good idea. What do you think about using the company’s money?”

“This… Not bad, not bad, but if Dad finds out…”

Wouldn’t that be the end of them?

“Don’t worry, I’ll cover for anything that happens. Besides, I’ve already given him the heads-up. It’ll definitely work this time. As long as we return the money in time, it’ll be fine. We can borrow a little. Nothing will happen”

The more Tang Wenyi thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea.

Lu Ze’s eyes lit up as he said, “Then let’s do this! Assistant Wei, come in!”

Assistant Wei, who was waiting at the door, raised his eyebrows slightly. Why did you suddenly call me? Are you up to something again? he wondered.

Puzzled, he walked in and asked, “May I know what’s the matter?”

“Give me all the cash flow in the Lu Corporation’s accounts. Don’t alert my husband about this. Can you do it?”

Tang Wenyi said arrogantly.

Those who did not know better would think that she was the boss of the Lu Corporation.

Assistant Wei hesitated for a few seconds and said, “I’m sorry, I only listen to Boss’s orders. Our cash flow is very important to the company. If you want to divert it, you have to get Boss’s permission.”

Although Tang Wenyi had the highest status in the family, the company belonged to Lu Yaohua in name. If he really did that, Lu Yaohua would blame him. He did not want to lose his job without rhyme or reason.

“I’m his wife! Why can’t I touch this money?”

Tang Wenyi’s tone was scornful and disdainful. “You’re just an assistant. Trust me, I’ll make my husband fire you!”

They are indeed family, Assistant Wei thought.

Even their threats sound the same.

Assistant Wei rolled his eyes inwardly. It was a small matter to defy orders and lose his job, but embezzling public funds was a crime. If Lu Yaohua sued him, wouldn’t he be jailed?

He was still so young and certainly not a fool.

“Sorry, I can’t do this without Boss’s orders. Even if Madam is Boss’s wife, it’s useless because the company’s ownership is under Boss’s name.”

“Do you know how to be flexible?!”

Tang Wenyi reminded him.

Lu Ze was not surprised by his answer. “Forget it. If he’s unwilling, so be it. Why don’t we find another way? We’ll have to put this plan on hold for now.”

At most, he would wait a few more days until he had enough money to start the plan.

Tang Wenyi narrowed her eyes. There was a glint in her eyes as she muttered, “Well, you’re unwilling but there will naturally be someone else who’s willing. Do you really think we can’t do without you? I’ll go to the office now!”

She took her bag and opened the door. She glanced at the person beside her and said, “You won’t tell anyone about this, right?”

“I don’t know anything.”

Assistant Wei replied. Life’s really hard. I can’t betray Lu Yaohua or offend the lady boss.

What kind of suffering is this?

His only thought was to leave.

Lu Corporation.

Tang Wenyi drove her car straight to the company. She knocked on the front desk. The receptionist quickly came back to her senses and said respectfully, “Madam.”

“Is Yaohua in the office now?”

If Lu Yaohua was around, it would be difficult for her to do anything.

“CEO Lu has gone out to discuss a partnership. If you have something to discuss with him, why don’t you wait here? I’ll contact him right away…”

Tang Wenyi immediately stopped the receptionist from calling and said, “It’s fine. You don’t have to inform him. I’ll wait up there.”

“Ah, alright.”

As she came to the office often, the receptionist did not think too much about it.

Tang Wenyi took the elevator to the General Manager’s office at the left end of the top floor. She opened the door without hesitation. “Manager Shi.”

Shi Tian was immersed in a sea of documents. However, when he heard a familiar female voice, he instinctively looked up. Immediately, he was surprised. He quickly put down his pen and said politely, “Madam, why are you here? Are you here to look for CEO Lu?”

“I came to find you.”

He was dumbfounded for a few seconds. Usually, she would come looking for CEO Lu. Why is she suddenly looking for me? he wondered.

“I, I see. Is there something I can help you with? I’ll try my best to settle it for you.”

Tang Wenyi got right to the point. “Transfer all the cash flow of the Lu Corporation to me. Manager Shi, do you know what to do?”

She wants money?

Although Shi Tian did not know what she wanted to do, he said tactfully, “We can do anything except this. I’m really sorry. The Lu Corporation has yet to recover and we are in the midst of using this money. Please forgive me.”

Tang Wenyi was furious!

Why are all of them such disobedient subordinates?! she thought. Once my son has made money, I’d definitely fire Assistant Wei and Shi Tian first!

“In the name of the CEO’s wife and as a shareholder of the Lu Corporation, I request that you give me all the money!”
