As the crowd grew more anxious, Lin Mengya's calmness was infuriating.
However, the more calm she was, the easier it was for her to convince the crowd.
After making those people anxious, Lin Mengya said unhurriedly, "There is a way, but I need each of you to pay a certain amount of security deposit. I don't want to be abandoned like a piece of trash after I've been used. "
These words made the faces of the old men of the Ancient Clan burn up.
How could Patriarch Gong speak in such a manner?
It was as if he was treating them as a bunch of ungrateful people …
Cough, cough. Back then, they had also lost their heads in a moment of anxiety. They did not know why Master Gong bore such a deep grudge.
Only women and vile people were hard to deal with!
Now that things had come to this, they could only compromise for the time being.
However, when Lin Mengya stated the price of the deposit, everyone thought that she was asking for too much.
"Master Gong! I don't think you're asking for a deposit. You're asking for our lives, aren't you? "
Someone's eyes widened and he almost could not catch his breath. In the end, his companion, who was beside him, was quick to react and pinched the other person's philtrum with all his might.
However, when he looked at the deposit list in front of him, he felt that it would be better if he just fainted.
At the very least, he would not have to face the situation where his family's assets were almost emptied.
Seeing that everyone was discussing, Lin Mengya knocked on the table impatiently.
"You better think it through. You're the one begging me now. If you continue to delay, I might not bother with this mess even if you beg me."
"But this is too much! Our family has saved up this bit of wealth over several lifetimes. If it were to be emptied all at once, then would you let our entire family go hungry? "
"Look carefully. What I want is a 'security deposit'. As long as you follow the rules and don't stab me in the back during the period of our cooperation, and you don't turn against me afterward, I'll return it to you, not a single penny less."
Lin Mengya's cold gaze swept past the faces of those people one by one.
She curled her lips and said coldly, "Or are you afraid that you can't control your selfishness and want to go against me, so you're afraid that I won't return it to you? Heh, if that's the case, then I don't want it. "
As she spoke, she stood up in a fit of pique. Long Tianhao followed her and put his arm around his wife's slender waist, acting like a protector.
"Master Gong, please wait! This matter can still be discussed, please stay! "
Someone hurriedly chased after him.
But before he could touch the hem of Lin Mengya's clothes, he was fixed on the spot by Long Tianhao's warning look.
Just say what you want to say. What's the point of pulling and pulling?
The other party was stunned by Long Tianhao's eyes. He subconsciously shrank his neck and said, "Everything can be discussed. Master Gong, we don't mean that. Please don't misunderstand!"
"Then what do you mean?" Her attitude became aggressive. "Do you want me to trust you completely like I did in the beginning and then be accused for no reason?"
Lin Mengya pushed Long Tianhao away and said in a loud voice, "Please go outside and inquire about my character. If I'm like some of you, untrustworthy, ungrateful, and unable to distinguish between good and bad, can my Gong family's caravan still be prosperous in the world?"
Her words were powerful and resonant, making some people feel guilty and ashamed of their own inferiority.
Seeing that those guys all looked down at the deposit in their hands, Lin Mengya's heart became colder.
Looking at them, it seemed that they were still planning to get something for nothing.
Oh, in their dreams!
"Ahem, this is not a small matter. Master Gong, can you give us some time to adjust?"
In the end, it was the gray-haired old man who suggested.
Everyone nodded and felt that the old man's words made sense.
Lin Mengya was not angry, but reminded them indifferently, "Of course you can take your time to think about it, but I'm afraid there's not much time left. I hope you can have a chance to accept this deposit in the end."
It meant that once everyone fell, it would be useless for them to agree to this deposit plan even if they wanted to.
Everyone also thought of this situation, and the atmosphere became more tense for a while.
In fact, there was not much change for Lin Mengya whether to hand over the deposit or not.
She even thought that it was better not to hand over the deposit. If they did not hand over the deposit, she would have more reason to stand by.
But she did not expect that at this time, there were still people who wanted to stir up this muddy pool.
"Master Gong, anyway, since you have a way, you shouldn't stand by and do nothing. I've heard that your Gong family has a good reputation for being eager for justice … "
"You've heard wrong." Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya did not care about her face at all and directly denied, "It's said that my Gong family is treacherous and cunning. Otherwise, how can we save so much money? "
This suddenly made the other party swallow his words.
Want to play moral blackmail? If I have it, I will lose!
"But, but, since Master Gong also said that the deposit will be returned to us sooner or later, I think it's better not to trouble you to keep it for us."
"Okay."
What? She actually agreed?
At this time, even Yue Zhengzi, who had been maintaining a calm face, could not help but steal a few more glances at her.
The people did not expect Lin Mengya to be so easy to talk to. Before they had time to show their relaxed expressions, they heard her continue, "Anyway, we have to save them sooner or later. Why don't you come to me in half a month? What do you think?"
"Half a month! Aren't you asking us to wait for death? How can this work? Of course, the sooner the better! "That person could not help but refute.
But Lin Mengya looked at him with a puzzled face, "Didn't you say so? Anyway, I have to return the deposit to you sooner or later, so it's better not to take it. "
"Also, anyway, I am going to save you for nothing. Isn't it the same sooner or later? Anyway, we will be saved! "
Actually, it was quite reasonable?
For a moment, everyone was confused by her and thought so.
No!
If it really was ten days or half a month later, then even if they kept the deposit, it would be useless!
For a moment, countless eyes were thrown at that sh * t-stirrer.
Oh my god, he almost went around in circles!
What would happen if they completely offended Gong Ya? They were afraid that they would not be able to play with her even if they lost their lives.
Probably because there was no way out, some people were ready to give up resistance.
In particular, a few of the quick-witted families were already weighing the gains and losses.
Actually, the things she wanted weren't too little, but it wasn't too much either.
Moreover, she was using it as a deposit. That was to say, as long as they acted according to her rules, in the end, these things would return to their hands intact.
Eh? Why did it seem that they had made a profit in this way?
The few family heads who thought that they had figured it out exchanged glances with each other.
Lin Mengya did not need to look to know that their attitude would definitely soften.
However, was there really such a good thing in this world?
Not necessarily!
Yue Zhengzixiu was really convinced.
Those old stubborn people who often made him angry in the past seemed to have collectively lost their minds in front of Lin Mengya.
They only saw the benefits of paying the deposit, but did not carefully read the many terms of the deposit.
For example, during the period of paying the deposit, no matter what Gong Ya does, after the deposit is returned, they are not allowed to pursue it.
At first glance, it seemed that there was no problem, but after paying the deposit, Gong Ya would do something in the process of helping them, so they were not allowed to pursue it.
However, the scope of "anything" was too broad.
Therefore, they had collectively fallen into a trap without knowing it.
They were really in a hurry to sell themselves, but they still had to count the money for others.
"If you have thought it through, if you are willing to pay the deposit, come to me and sign. When everyone is clear about whether to pay the deposit, I will start to help you deal with these things. "
In other words, no one would be able to fish in troubled waters.
Besides, the value of the deposit was at stake. Even if they could get it back in the future, after all, they were still worried.
Therefore, at this time, if someone wanted to freeload, without Lin Mengya saying anything, they would be the first to jump out to express their disapproval.
No dream, this was really a bad move.
After a short while, a few families that were interested in her slowly walked up to her.
"Well, it's not that I don't trust you, Master Gong. I just want to ask again, are you sure that if we don't violate the agreement, you will definitely return the deposit to us?"
Facing pairs of sincere (naive) eyes, Lin Mengya nodded solemnly and said, "I guarantee with the reputation of the Gong family, and I will print the official seal of the Gong family and the big chamber of commerce on every receipt of the deposit. Even if I can run away, I can not run away from the big chamber of commerce. If I don't fulfill my promise, you can go to the big chamber of commerce to ask for compensation."
They did not expect that she would be so formal.
"Okay, okay, okay, then I just need to sign here, right?"
"Yes, just sign in the blank space, and then leave a fingerprint, and you can go back to get your things."
She smiled sincerely, a standard business smile, the kind that would never leave a weakness for others to use against her.
"Oh, okay, okay."
After the first one signed, there would be a second one.
People always followed the herd effect. The closer to the front, the more they would feel that they got a bargain, while the farther behind, the more they would feel that they might be at a disadvantage.
Of course, Lin Mengya would never favor one and discriminate against the other. If there was a loss, everyone would suffer together.
Rest assured, she would not let anyone fall behind!
In this way, even if there were a few rotten fish and shrimps who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.
But in the end, they still could not defeat the intention of the public.
In the end, only three families refused to sign, and the others happily accepted her deposit rules.
