Chapter 786: I Don’t Have a Son Like You
by xennovel“Alright, alright, don’t worry. I’ll find a way, okay?”
As the woman in his arms acted coy, the middle-aged man felt his bones melting.
Let alone a watch, if she wanted the moon from the sky, he’d find a way to pluck it down for her.
Thinking about her performance in bed, a surge of desire rose within him.
He wanted to quickly settle this matter and then find a hotel to properly you-know-what.
The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said to Li Qian Ya and Tang Silin, “Ladies, my wife really likes this watch. I’d be grateful if you could do us a favor.”
Although Li Qian Ya and Tang Silin were beautiful, he only fantasized briefly without taking any actual action.
He had finally divorced that yellow-faced shrew at home and gotten his little treasure.
He didn’t want to mess things up so quickly; at least he wanted to wait until he got bored.
“Talk to him.”
Tang Silin pointed at Xu Shaochen.
The middle-aged man turned to Xu Shaochen, “Brother, this is the situation. Can you… do us a favor?”
“Brother, you’re buying a watch to please a woman, and so am I. So, I really can’t do you this favor.”
As Xu Shaochen spoke, he put his arms around Li Qian Ya and Tang Silin’s shoulders.
Tang Silin and Li Qian Ya tried to break free, but they were no match for Xu Shaochen’s strength.
The middle-aged man was stunned at first, then shot an admiring and envious look, “Brother, you’ve got skills.”
“You’re not bad yourself, old brother.” Xu Shaochen returned with a smile.
“Honey~” The woman shook the middle-aged man’s arm, pouting in pretend anger and impatience.
The middle-aged man snapped back to reality and said to Xu Shaochen, “Brother, give me a break. How about I give you some thanks, treat you to a cup of tea?”
“Old brother, now you’re underestimating me. Do I look like I need your small change? The watch is not for sale.”
Xu Shaochen wore a smile, but his words left no room for negotiation.
Seeing Xu Shaochen refuse him repeatedly, the middle-aged man’s expression darkened, “Brother, won’t you give me this little face? What, am I not good enough, or is my money not good enough?”
“If that’s how you want to put it, then I can’t help you.” Xu Shaochen shrugged indifferently.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and turned to the Sales Assistant, “I’ll add twenty thousand. Give me the watch.”
“I’m sorry, sir, but this isn’t about money. Business has its principles, and we operate on a first-come, first-served basis.”
The Sales Assistant wore an apologetic expression. They were a big store, not some small workshop. How could they agree to such a thing?
Agreeing might bring in a small profit, but it would damage the store’s reputation. The boss would surely not let her off.
The middle-aged man’s face darkened as he coldly said to Xu Shaochen, “Brother, are you really not going to give me this face? I’ve said this much, aren’t you being a bit thick-skinned?”
“If that’s how you want to put it, then I can only ask, who do you think you are? Are you the yuan? Why should everyone give you face? You’re talking nonsense!”
“I was being civil with you because I respected you. Face is given by others, and you’ve lost it yourself. Now, get lost!”
Xu Shaochen wiped the smile off his face and cursed at the middle-aged man clearly, not leaving him an ounce of dignity.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire store seemed to freeze.
The middle-aged man flew into a rage, “Kid, you have the guts to say that again! I’m telling you, I’m taking both these watches today!”
In front of his woman, he couldn’t lose face. If nothing else, he had to win this argument.
“What, you want to fight me with money?”
Xu Shaochen sneered, “Let me tell you, unless you have a country backing you, don’t entertain such childish ideas.”
As he finished speaking, Xu Shaochen said to the Sales Assistant, “Business is first-come, first-served, right? Now, as a customer, I demand you throw these two troublemakers out.”
“Sir…” The Sales Assistant looked at the middle-aged man with difficulty.
From what had happened, the middle-aged man was indeed causing trouble.
“I’m also looking at watches. Even if I don’t buy that one, I’ll buy something else. What, is your business model to drive customers away?”
The middle-aged man said harshly, glancing challengingly at Xu Shaochen, “You think you can just have me thrown out because you say so? Who do you think you are? Is this store yours?”
“Not now, but it will be soon.” Xu Shaochen nodded and said to the Sales Assistant, “Now, call your boss immediately. Tell him I want to buy this store.”
Wow!
In an instant, everyone was in an uproar, staring at Xu Shaochen in disbelief.
Li Qian Ya and Tang Silin were also dumbfounded. Damn, is this how rich people play?
We’re buying a watch.
He’s directly buying a watch store.
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Buy this store? Kid, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue off with such big talk? Do you know how much this store is worth?”
“This is Jingcheng! Not to mention the value of the goods inside, just this plot of land alone is enough to make people think twice.”
After a moment of shock, the middle-aged man reacted as if he had heard a joke and burst into laughter, even shedding tears.
Buying two watches worth two or three hundred thousand, he could manage easily.
But buying this store would definitely strain him to the bone, so Xu Shaochen’s words seemed like mere boasting to him.
“Don’t use your meager savings to judge my actions. It makes you look ignorant. You are you, and I am I, OK?”
Xu Shaochen looked at the middle-aged man with disdain. Poverty had limited his imagination.
“Fine! OK, you’re knowledgeable, you’re awesome. I’m not leaving today. I want to see how you’re going to buy this store. If you don’t buy it, you’re my son.”
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Shaochen with a sneer. He wanted to see how this big-talking guy would save face today.
“What if I do buy it?”
Xu Shaochen asked in return.
The middle-aged man replied nonchalantly, “If you really can buy this store, then I’m your son.”
“Forget it, I don’t have a son like you. If my son were as pathetic as you, I’d have strangled him at birth.”
Xu Shaochen shook his head and said disdainfully.
“Pfft—”
Others in the store couldn’t help but laugh. Li Qian Ya and Tang Silin burst out laughing.
The middle-aged man’s face alternated between red and white. Furious, he pointed at Xu Shaochen, “You’re young but sharp-tongued. Why so many words? I want to see how you’re going to drop this stone on your own foot.”
