Chapter 2017: Chapter 2012: Split Half Upon Meeting?
Their expressions weren’t pleasant after being yelled at like that.
However, even so, they didn’t dare stop or even slow down, because they knew their lives were still in Hu Xiaobei’s hands.
"You guys..."
Wen Tao wanted to say something more, but he didn’t get the chance, because by then he was already pinned down tightly by the people who rushed at him...
Soon, heart-wrenching screams came out of Wen Tao’s mouth...
If it were just a couple of people, with Wen Tao’s skills, he might still manage...
But it wasn’t just a couple of people, so let alone fend them off, he didn’t even have the strength to put up a fight and was pressed down like a bug...
...
A dozen minutes later, looking at the almost beaten-to-death Wen Tao, Xiaobei waved his hand lightly, "Enough!"
Upon hearing Xiaobei’s words, they instantly stopped.
This made all the onlookers secretly admire...
They knew Hu Xiaobei had completely subdued them.
"Are you still interested in these shops now? If you are, we can have a good chat. After all, if you really open a store, it’s a good thing for our Xiaohe Village."
After they retreated, Xiaobei walked over with a calm expression.
The almost dying Wen Tao shuddered at Xiaobei’s words.
He now felt that Hu Xiaobei was a devil...
And a particularly terrifying one at that.
Seeing the trembling Wen Tao, Xiaobei spoke with concern, "What’s wrong? Your body is shaking a lot, you’re not going to die, are you?"
"Not at all, not at all!"
Speaking with fear, Wen Tao looked at Xiaobei nervously and said, "I couldn’t see things clearly before, give me another chance, give me another chance, I swear I won’t come to cause trouble again, absolutely not."
By the end, there was a hint of crying in his words.
Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "Oh, come on! We only get to know each other after a fight! Now, we’re talking about cooperation! Weren’t you planning to open a shop here before? We can discuss it in detail now."
"Talk? Who dares to talk now!"
As ten thousand grassy mud horses ran through his mind, he muttered to himself...
Soon, Wen Tao laughed dryly, "I seriously thought about it before, and I think I’m not suited for business, so let’s just forget about the cooperation."
Wen Tao had never really planned to open a shop, so he spoke with much embarrassment now.
When he finished speaking, Wen Tao felt the atmosphere becoming cold again.
Looking up, he saw that Xiaobei’s expression was no longer gentle and breezy...
"You never intended to open a shop in our Xiaohe Village? Are you saying you were just playing games with me all along?"
This icy questioning sent chills down his spine.
"How could that be, how would I dare!"
"Then in that case, let’s talk about the cooperation."
"But I haven’t decided what kind of shop to open yet. Let me think it over carefully and I promise to come back and open a shop when I’ve made up my mind, is that okay?"
Taking a look at him, Xiaobei nodded lightly, "Haven’t decided yet! I understand, but you’ve delayed the normal process of attracting investment in our Xiaohe Village, compensating something is reasonable, right?"
"Yes!"
Though bitter inside, Wen Tao couldn’t help but nod.
At this moment, he deeply understood the meaning of having to lower one’s head under the eaves.
"Since you’re so agreeable, that’ll do! Compensate one hundred thousand yuan."
"How much?"
"One hundred thousand! Do you think that’s too little?"
Quickly shaking his head as his eye twitched, Wen Tao said, "No, no, I mean one hundred thousand is just right."
"Since we both agree on this standard, pay up now!"
"Okay!"
Wen Tao pulled out the money with a bitter face.
This one hundred thousand yuan he had scrimped and saved before was meant to make a comeback.
And now, he pulled it all out.
If there was any other way, he wouldn’t do this, but unfortunately, he had no other options, so he could only resign to fate.
Seeing Wen Tao pull out the money, his subordinates also let out a silent sigh.
They knew their entire fortune was gone now.
However, in their hearts, they were slightly relieved.
Because they knew their lives were finally spared.
"Alright, you can get lost now."
Putting away the money, Xiaobei waved his hand gently.
With Xiaobei’s permission, they exchanged looks and quickly carried away the disheartened Wen Tao.
A minute later, they completely disappeared.
"So quick!"
Teasing lightly, Xiaobei looked around at the people and said in a slightly apologetic tone, "Sorry for what you just saw. I’ll try my best to ensure this doesn’t happen again."
"Master Xiaobei, it’s fine."
"Exactly, it’s no big deal."
"Yes, yes!"
Looking at Xiaobei, they quickly waved their hands.
The incident had shown them Xiaobei’s strength, giving them more determination and motivation to open a shop here.
...
After everyone left, Xiaobei heard Feng Xueyan’s warm voice, "Master Xiaobei, you were really cool just now, but there’s a saying, when we meet, we’ll share half, right? Where’s my fifty thousand yuan?"
Seeing her staring intently at the money in his hand, Xiaobei rolled his eyes at her, muttering in slight frustration, "This... I earned this myself, you’re planning to take fifty thousand yuan right away, isn’t that a bit ruthless?"
"I think it’s normal! We’re good friends! Besides, if I hadn’t called you over here before, you wouldn’t have earned this one hundred thousand, right!"
Hearing her speak so eloquently, Xiaobei was frustrated!
Xiaobei knew reasoning with her was futile, so he gave up on the idea of reasoning...
He surrendered directly.
"Alright then!"
Seeing Xiaobei really hand over half of the money, she chuckled, "Haha, just kidding, let’s quickly go see my new shop! I really can’t wait to open a shop here."
"Okay!"
As they spoke, Xiaobei and she continued walking forward...
...
Some are happy and some are sad!
At this time, outside Xiaohe Village, the expression on the face of Wen Tao, who had been discarded on the ground, was extremely grim.
"One hundred thousand yuan, that was the last one hundred thousand yuan!"
Thinking about the last bit of money being taken, the expression on Wen Tao’s face was insanely twisted as he pounded the ground.
If possible, he wanted to get it back, but he knew it was impossible.
Because of that person, he couldn’t see through at all.
"Big brother, don’t dwell on it, look forward."
"Exactly!"
They glanced at Wen Tao and softly consoled him.
They knew this consolation was meaningless, but even so, they still had to say a few comforting words.
Otherwise, Wen Tao, stuck in a dead end, would find it even harder to snap out of the depression...
