After beating around the bush for a long time, Ling Tian had completely tricked the head of the Xiao family. In that moment, his heart was overjoyed.
Xiao FengHan was exasperated! Who would have thought that he, who prided himself on his intelligence, would be played in the palm of a child's hand! In that moment, he was extremely depressed and said angrily, "The marriage has already been annulled and there is no possibility of it happening again. What compensation do you want? Just say it. As long as this old man can do it, I will satisfy you. "
Ling Tian laughed out loud, "Is there anything in this world that Grandpa Xiao can't do?" These words of his were extremely sarcastic. As long as Xiao FengHan agreed, Ling Tian could do whatever he wanted!
How could Xiao FengHan not know the power of this situation? He muttered, "As long as this old man can do it, I will do it." When he said this, even Xiao FengHan himself did not realize that he had unknowingly treated this child as an opponent of the same level!
"Pa!" Ling Tian clapped his hands and said happily, "Since Grandpa Xiao has said so, then this matter is settled."
Xiao FengHan snorted and said, "You still haven't said clearly what you want."
Ling Tian said, "Grandson's things are insignificant in Grandpa Xiao's eyes. To the Xiao family, it is just a hair from nine oxen."
Xiao FengHan looked at him with a puzzled face.
Ling Tian laughed and said, "I heard that Grandpa Xiao has a property in the capital. It is a dilapidated weapons workshop. Grandpa Xiao is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult for you to manage it. I wonder if this Grandson can take care of it for Grandpa Xiao for a few years? "
This was another huge surprise!
Xiao FengHan would never have dreamed that Ling Tian would want a weapons workshop that was completely useless to the Ling family! The Ling family had two generations of military elders. If they needed weapons, they could directly take them from the kingdom's armory. No matter how many they took, no one would dare to say anything! Therefore, in Xiao FengHan's eyes, this weapon workshop was of little value to the Ling family.
However, although this weapons workshop was of no use to the Ling family, it was an important part of the Xiao family's secret military base and supplies! If they were to lose this base, it would definitely affect the overall strategic plans of the Xiao family. Especially towards the capital of the Sky Bearing Empire, they would lose all control over it. All their previous plans towards the capital of the Sky Bearing Empire would definitely be rendered useless. He had to make a new plan! The importance of this weapon workshop could be imagined.
Ling Tian snickered in his heart. That's exactly what I want to do to disrupt your plans. This Young Master hasn't grown up yet, and you all want to mess around? No way! Moreover, as long as Ling Tian owned this weapon workshop, he would be able to produce all sorts of exquisite weapons. With the skills that Ling Tian had mastered in his previous life, it was a piece of cake for him to forge weapons that far surpassed the ones in this world.
Xiao FengHan finally realized that this little brat in front of him could not be underestimated. With just a casual move, he had no choice but to agree. Furthermore, Ling Tian had already made sufficient preparations beforehand, using his words to force him into a corner. If he were to not agree now, it would seem that he was a little shameless. First, he had arranged the marriage, then called it off. Then, he had rejected the other party's request for compensation …
Seeing Xiao FengHan muttering to himself, obviously in a difficult position, Ling Tian let out a laugh filled with mockery, "Hahaha … what a Xiao family! What a great Family Head of the number one conglomerate in the world whose words carried enormous weight! Ling Tian finally understood why the Xiao family was able to become the number one financial magnate in the world! So that's the case. Hahahaha, you want this, you want that; going back on your words, only taking in but not giving out. Even if you want to bully others, who in the world would dare to say a word? Hehehe, so what if you're the grandson of a sworn brother? For the sake of benefits, everything else can be thrown aside! Hahaha … "
These words were truly sinister, vicious and venomous! Every word was like a steel knife, ruthlessly stabbing into Xiao FengHan's heart! To be ridiculed by a child who was younger than him by sixty years, if he could endure it, what could he endure?! Xiao FengHan's face instantly turned green and red, almost turning into rage out of humiliation. He said fiercely, "I thought you would demand an exorbitant price. Who would have thought that you only wanted a small workshop that the Xiao family had already decided to discard! This is truly unexpected! It's only a small workshop. The Xiao family has tens of thousands of workshops like this, it's nothing in my eyes! So what if I give it to you? "
Ling Tian bit on his words and followed closely, "A gentleman's word?"
Xiao FengHan said angrily without hesitation, "A team of four horses cannot go back on their word!"
Ling Tian felt as if a stone had been lifted from his heart. He chuckled and said, "Grandson already knew that Grandpa Xiao is a forthright person who squanders money like it's water. He values relationships and righteousness, and always keeps his promises! Indeed, you live up to your reputation! Grandson has offended you just now, but Grandpa Xiao will definitely forgive you on account of your young age and ignorance. Grandpa Xiao, don't you think so? "His tone was sincere, his expression sincere, as if these words were from the bottom of his heart!
Xiao FengHan's heart was filled with rage. In a moment of impulse, he did not even think before he blurted out the words "A team of four horses cannot go back on their word". After saying these words for a long time, Xiao FengHan finally awoke from his dazed state. Thinking back to the matter just now, his heart was incomparably dejected!
Once the words were spoken, it was impossible to retract them! Just these few words meant that the Xiao family would need at least two years to reorganize itself! At this time of chaos and uncertainty, two years was more than enough to change the world!
Thinking of this, Xiao FengHan wished that he could give himself a few tight slaps on the face. Like a deflated balloon, he sat down on the chair behind him. His eyes were empty. His mind spun rapidly, trying to think of a way to salvage the situation. But no matter how he thought about it, there was nothing he could do!
Looking at the confident smile on Ling Tian's face, Xiao FengHan felt as if he had swallowed a huge bun that was stuck in his throat. He could neither swallow it nor spit it out! It was extremely unbearable.
For the sake of setting up the Sky Bearing Empire's capital city, he had traveled thousands of miles and personally came here. Only after scheming from many angles did he finally manage to arrange everything properly. He had even promised the few great families in the city extremely generous terms, laying down various foreshadowing for his future plans. Who would have thought that just as everything was about to be completed, he would actually lose the most crucial part of his plan?!
In that moment, Xiao FengHan wanted to roar towards the sky! Looking at Ling Tian, his gaze became incomparably solemn. Thinking back to Ling Tian's every word and action since he entered the room, he could not help but be enlightened!
From the moment he asked Ling Tian, "In your opinion, what should I do?", he had already unknowingly fallen into a disadvantageous position! After that, Ling Tian was basically the one leading the conversation, guiding him step by step until he finally walked into this dead end!
To think that he, who had been unhindered in the business world his entire life, would actually be defeated by a child today! Furthermore, it was a complete defeat! Although he did not place him in his eyes from the start and had underestimated him, but even with such a mindset, how many people in the world could actually predict his moves?
He could not help but think of the huge bet he had with Old Lady Ling after he broke off the engagement! At this moment, Xiao FengHan finally understood that there was no need for him to wait for ten years to make his bet with Old Lady Ling. He had already lost! Even if Ling Tian and Xiao YanXue were unable to walk together in the future, he had already lost, completely lost!
Eyes but failed to see! Mistaking the precious jade for rubble, such an absurd thing actually happened to him!
Xiao FengHan could not help but laugh bitterly.
Just as Ling Tian was about to step out of the door, he suddenly turned his head and grinned towards a certain direction in the room. This grin felt a little like a greeting, but also a little like a knowing smile from the bottom of his heart. En, there was even a trace of playfulness and … naughtiness. However, the strange thing was that there was nothing in that direction.
