C483 Refuse to Pay
"Dongyang mainly deals with film and television dramas and advertising. Before, the company owed a lot of debt due to its poor management." Xu Pei briefly described the business situation of Dongyang's company.
"Why does Dongyang owe our company money?"
"It's because of the three years of advertising cooperation. We planted Dongyang's commercial in the movie and TV series, but they never paid for it until now."
"Have you asked for this debt before?"
"I've asked for debt no less than ten times." Xu Pei gritted her teeth, looking exhausted. "But every time, I would return empty-handed."
"What kind of person is their boss?"
"That man is a cunning liar. He would find all kinds of excuses to refuse to pay. In fact, his company has money, but he just doesn't intend to pay for it."
"Is that so?" Wu Tian rubbed his chin as he thought about how to deal with this type of cunning old fox.
"Rascals like Zhang Dongyang are rare in the industry, I'm afraid this time …" Xu Pei didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning behind her words was obvious.
Even if Boss Wu were to personally take action, he wouldn't be able to get that amount of money.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get the money back." Wu Tian comforted her and didn't say anything else.
Soon, the two of them drove to Dongyang's company.
It was a large advertising company in the northern part of the city. It worked with many other television and film companies to plant and advertise other people's products.
In fact, Dongyang's performance was not bad and his profits were quite impressive. However, Zhang Dongyang, the boss of Dongyang's company, was notorious in the industry for his bad character and was in arrears with a lot of film and television companies' money.
The two of them arrived at the CEO's office and barged in without knocking.
Sitting at the desk was an ugly-looking man. It was Dongyang's boss, Zhang Dongyang.
Someone suddenly broke into his office, making him unhappy. When he saw Xu Pei, he immediately beamed: "Manager Xu, welcome to our company for your inspection."
With that, he stood up and shook Xu Pei's hand. It could be seen that the two of them were very familiar with each other.
"President Zhang, I'm not here to investigate." Xu Pei shook his hand symbolically and went straight to the point. "I'm here to ask for money for the company."
"Manager Xu, didn't I tell you that our company doesn't have any money right now? When my company becomes rich, I will definitely pay it back." Zhang Dongyang pretended to be pitiful.
"As far as I know, you guys have recently invested in a lot of new projects. How can you invest without money?"
"Money is invested in new projects, so there's no money."
"I don't want to talk to you about these useless things." Xu Pei's expression was solemn as she pointed to Wu Tian behind her and introduced: "This is the boss of our Huaxing, Wu Tian."

Zhang Dongyang was slightly surprised, maybe he didn't expect the new owner of Huaxing film to be so young and dressed so low-key.
After a moment of surprise, he hurriedly grabbed Wu Tian's arm, "Boss Wu, I didn't expect you to personally make a trip for such a small matter."
"Hello, Boss Zhang. It's a pleasure to meet you." Wu Tian clenched Zhang Dongyang's arm and pursed his lips into a smile.
He could already tell that the man in front of him was a cunning liar. If he used conventional methods, he definitely wouldn't be able to get the money.
"However, this time I think you came here for nothing. Our company is short on funds and we really have no money …"
"What money?"
Zhang Dongyang was stunned and asked, "Didn't you come to ask us for money?"
"Boss Zhang is thinking too much. I'm not here to ask for money." Wu Tian waved his hand. The smile on his face made people not understand what he meant.
*
Xu Pei was stunned. They had clearly come to collect their debt, so why didn't Boss Wu admit to it?
Zhang Dongyang was stunned for a few seconds and then asked with a smile, "Since Boss Wu is not here to collect his debt, what do you want?"
"I just want to come over and chat with Boss Zhang." Wu Tian took out the promissory note from his pocket and moved it over, "Does Boss Zhang know this?"
"Of course I do. This is the promissory note I sent to your company three years ago." Zhang Dongyang said with a smile.
He wrote the promissory note himself, he had to admit, or he would be indicted.
*
Wu Tian directly tore the old promissory note into pieces without saying anything. Then, he rubbed it and threw it into the trash can.
*
Xu Pei coughed violently a few times and almost choked to death on her own saliva. She did not expect Boss Wu to tear up the promissory note.
They had a promissory note, but President Zhang wasn't willing to pay it back. If the IOU was torn, President Zhang definitely wouldn't pay it back.
Zhang Dongyang was shocked. He didn't expect the young man in front of him to directly tear up the promissory note. He didn't understand what he meant at all.
Obviously, this brat was here to collect debts on behalf of the company, but he suddenly tore up the IOU. Why is that?
"Boss Wu, you …" Zhang Dongyang stayed where he was like a fool, completely clueless about the situation.
"Let's not talk about money today. I just want to become friends with Boss Zhang." Wu Tian shook his sleeves, raised his head and said proudly, "Several tens of millions is just a small matter to me."
"Alright, you and I will definitely become friends." When he heard that Wu Tian didn't come to ask for money, Zhang Dongyang immediately let down his guard, "Wait, I'll go make tea for you guys."
"I don't drink tea. Let's drink red wine."
"I just happen to have two bottles of good wine …"
"No!" Wu Tian waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let's not drink at the company. I'll treat Boss Zhang to a drink."
"How can I let Boss Wu treat? I'll treat you." At this time, Zhang Dongyang was naturally very generous.
After all, Wu Tian didn't need him to pay several tens of millions, so he was naturally the one who would treat his guests.
"Alright, then I'll accept it."
"Boss Wu, after you." Zhang Dongyang was very happy as he extended his hand and made a gesture of "please".
"Alright." Wu Tian nodded and walked out of the office first. Zhang Dongyang followed behind him happily.
Xu Pei, on the other hand, stood on the spot like a fool. She had no idea what was going on.
Didn't they say that they would come together to collect the debt? Why did they become friends and go out to eat and drink together?
After seeing the two of them walk away, she followed them out with a foolish expression on her face.
When they went downstairs, Zhang Dongyang smiled and suggested, "Boss Wu, there's a big restaurant nearby that tastes pretty good. I'll take you over there to eat."
"No." Wu Tian waved his hand and refused: "Let's not go to the restaurant. I'm sick of the restaurant, it's boring."
"Then Boss Wu's meaning is …"
"How about we go to the Red Rose Club? They have everything there. After we finish eating, we can find two girls to relax."
"Alright." Zhang Dongyang nodded in approval, then he suddenly moved his head over, "Isn't it inconvenient for us to take Manager Xu with us?"
"It's fine. Let's go." After saying that, Wu Tian threw the car keys to Xu Pei, "Manager Xu, help us drive to the Red Rose Club."
"This …"
Xu Pei hesitated for a few seconds as she held the keys. Finally, she nodded. "Yes."
She really didn't know what the boss was up to, but she had no choice but to obey Boss Wu's orders.
