Jacob blurted out without a second thought, “You handle this matter yourself—don’t drag me into it. This is your little brother’s issue. You two are the ones putting this on the line. Once it’s all sorted, I’ll give you a million!”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) wiped the sweat from his brow, saying, “President Jacob, I really can’t get involved in something like this… If the fifth master finds out, I might end up getting med…”
Jacob, clearly frustrated, replied, “What’s the big deal about the fifth master? I met my son-inw, and he wasn’t rude to me. Look, if you don’t help me retrieve that bronze Buddha, I’ll appeal to my good son-inw. I’ll ask him to confront the fifth master for an exnation!”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) was bewildered and quickly responded, “Oh no, Chairman, we don’t need to bring Master Wade into this… He’s a man of integrity; if he learns that we’re selling counterfeit goods to deceive people, he could have a serious issue with both of us…”
Jacob shot back, “Who’s selling fakes? I want to know who’s selling fakes! That piece is worth 20 million, and you think selling it for 300,000 is selling counterfeit goods?”<fna3a5> Latest content published on findnovel</fna3a5><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Zhang Ermao (Cade) replied with a quivering voice, “President, it doesn’t matter how much that thing is worth; it’s about the principle… We might think we’re just marketing something less valuable, but it doesn’t change the fact that we’re trying to deceive people with a fake!”
Jacob, with a stern expression, insisted, “Don’t try to lecture me! I’m not interested in that. I have one demand: you need to get that item back for me. I’ll transfer the 300,000 directly to your ount. I don’t care about anything else. If you can’t provide a solution, I’m going to my son-inw. I’ll admit to him that I had bad intentions, but I still want to reim that item! I’ll get it back! Besides, even if my son-inw finds out, he can’t really do anything to me!”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) was near tears, saying, “Chairman, Master Wade might not retaliate against you, but I can’t say the same for myself! I owe my position to Master Wade speaking well of me to the fifth master. If he discovers that I’m involved in this disgraceful affair with you, I could be finished!”
Jacob, in anger, retorted, “Who are you calling disgraceful? How am I being shameless? This whole shameless idea came from you! If you hadn’te to me, I wouldn’t have known that Zhou Liangyun was back. If you hadn’t suggested this bad idea, I wouldn’t have lost 20 million!”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) countered, “It’s true I gave you that bad idea, but you didn’t actually lose any money. You spent 98,000 yuan and made 300,000 yuan, which means you profited 200,000 yuan. How can you im you lost 20 million? You say you’re selling at a loss, but without my suggestion, you wouldn’t have gotten that item at all. How can you im a 20 million loss?”
