In the spacious lobby of the coffee shop, there was an extremely long conference table. Seven or eight big bosses sat on both sides of the table, sighing with heartache.
As soon as Rong Shi opened his mouth, the bosses immediately understood why Rong Shi had called this meeting.
Donations were needed again!
He knew that whenever Rongshi called for a meeting, nothing good would happen.
Chengde had a Rongshi, and their bosses were really unlucky.
Each of them had resentment in their hearts, but facing Rongshi, they were truly helpless.
This Rongshi was a typical black head wearing a merchant's coat.
He really couldn't afford to offend them!
Rongshi sat in the main seat and coldly glanced around the conference table. All the big bosses had reluctant expressions on their faces and said in a cold voice,"I don't expect everyone to be like me. It's enough for each of you to donate half of your assets.”
Whoosh!
As soon as Rongshi finished speaking, other than Lu Yiwei who was in deep thought, the other big bosses were in an uproar.
"This, half, half of the family property?"
"This is too much!"
"Yeah, too much. This is simply killing me!”
"Isn't that so? I've only earned so little at such an old age, and I'm going to lose half of it all at once. Isn't that asking for my old life?”
“……”
Upon hearing Rongshi's request, all the big bosses 'expressions changed drastically. They whispered to each other as if they were afraid that Rongshi would hear them. However, they did not lower their voices at all. It was obvious that they wanted Rongshi to hear them clearly.
This was their favorite way of protesting!
They already felt sorry for Rong Shi when they knew that he was going to donate money. Now, Rong Shi wanted them to donate half of their assets.
This was simply cutting off their hearts.
They were merchants. Even if the Japanese really attacked, they had to eat and drink to survive. It was impossible for them to destroy all the merchants.
They didn't care if Cheng De was lost or not.
At most, their lives would be a little more difficult than now, but even if the Japanese really caused trouble, it would only be a matter of spending a little money to solve it. It would not be so easy to lose half of their assets.
"Pa!"
Yu Shoushan slammed the teacup in his hand back onto the table." I don't agree!”
Yu Shoushan laughed coldly in his heart,'You want to cut off my flesh, and such a big piece of flesh at that? You, Rongshi, are really indulging in fantasy.”
However, even though he thought so, Yu Shoushan really didn't dare to flip the table in front of Rongshi.
"Rongshi, don't you always like to pretend to be gentle and reasonable? Then I'll give you a reason that's acceptable.”
Yu Shoushan thought to himself, then said with a serious expression,"Don't you know Chang Lulin? How much money did he plunder from the people in Rehe? The commoners hated him so much that they gritted their teeth.”
"Exactly!"
"That's right!"
When the big bosses at the table saw Yu Shoushan speak, they all agreed and expressed their protest against Rongshi's decision.
Yu Shoushan saw that all the big bosses except Lu Yiwei agreed with him. He was very proud in his heart, but he snorted coldly and said,"Anyway, even if I throw my money into the latrine pit, I won't donate it to him!”
"Yes!"
"Me too!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I won't donate it to him!"
"That's right, we can't donate it to him. It's a waste of money to donate it to him.”
"Yes, I am!"
When the big bosses saw Yu Shoushan's generous speech and clear attitude, they hurriedly agreed.
Since someone had taken the lead, they could not let go of this opportunity to protest. Otherwise, if they really donated half of their assets, they would be so heartbroken that they would be bedridden.
"Young Master Rong, this matter…should we consider it?”
At this moment, Lu Yiwei, who had always followed Rongshi's lead and had been in a contemplative state, hesitated for a moment and said,"If Chang Lulin really wants to fight against Japan, I'll be like you, even if I have to donate all my assets. However, Chang Lulin was not like this kind of person!”
Lu Yiwei's words once again received the unanimous approval of many big bosses. They all nodded in agreement, making Rongshi's expression turn a little ugly.
He also understood that Lu Yiwei was only concerned about the matter and not the person. He was not like the others who were reluctant to donate their family assets.
However, he was only pulling Chang Lulin's skin and making Chang Lulin take the blame. The money was ultimately arranged to be sent to the anti-Japanese troops, not really to Chang Lulin.
At this moment, Lu Yiwei's words had undoubtedly increased the difficulty for him.
"He's the leader of Rehe Province and also the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army.”
Rongshi glanced at Lu Yiwei in annoyance. As he spoke, he looked around at the people at the table and emphasized,"I repeat, we are not donating the money to him, but to the Fifth Army!”
Seeing that Rongshi seemed to have come to a conclusion, Yu Shoushan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly sat up straight and said to the big bosses at the table,"In the end, all the money fell into Chang Yulin's pocket. Who doesn't understand this?”
With Yu Shoushan taking the lead, the big bosses at the table began to jeer again. The tension that Rongshi had accumulated with great difficulty was instantly broken.
Rongshi stared at Yu Shoushan coldly, killing intent flashing in his eyes. Rongshi really wanted to kill this person who had no patriotic heart on the spot.
"Anyway, if you want to donate, you can donate. I won't donate a single cent!”Yu Shoushan saw that all the bosses 'emotions had been stirred up by him. Even when he saw Rongshi's angry look, he still said fearlessly.
The law does not punish the masses!
Even though Yu Shoushan was the one who took the lead, as long as all the bosses agreed and reached a consensus, Rongshi would not be able to find a reason to attack him. Otherwise, it would definitely cause the other bosses to feel insecure. It was likely that Rongshi would not dare to bet on Yu Shoushan.
Moreover, it wasn't like Yu Shoushan didn't have a backer. Although Rongshi had always been very domineering even though he knew that he had a backer, he didn't believe that Rongshi would really dare to attack him.
Yu Shoushan, who felt that Rongshi couldn't do anything to him, slammed the table and stood up. He put on a very strong posture and wanted to throw his face away and ignore Rongshi. He turned around and left.
"I'm not donating either!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
"I'm not donating. Let's go!"
When the other big bosses saw Yu Shoushan taking the lead, they also stood up and wanted to leave their seats to follow Yu Shoushan out.
Yu Shoushan heard the many shop owners 'agreement and had a smug look on his face. He had only taken two steps when Rongshi's cold and low voice came from behind him."Stop!"
Upon hearing Rongshi's order, Geng Yu, who had been standing behind Rongshi, took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Shoushan. He stared at Yu Shoushan with a fierce expression, making him feel as if he was being stared at by a wolf. A chill ran down his spine.
