Chapter 787: I Said Roll

“What are you staring at? Call your boss.”

Xu Shaochen said to the dazed Sales Assistant.

“Oh, oh, oh, right, I’ll call right away, right away.”

The Sales Assistant finally reacted, hurriedly taking out his Phone and dialing the store owner’s number.

“Hello, boss, please come to the store quickly. Someone wants to… to buy our store. Yes, I understand.”

After hanging up, the Sales Assistant looked at Xu Shaochen and said tremblingly, “Our boss will be here soon.”

Faced with such a big shot who wanted to buy the entire store without much discussion, she couldn’t help but be cautious.

“Heh, baby, today I’ll show you how to step on the face of a pretentious fool.”

The middle-aged man said to the woman in his arms with a sarcastic tone.

“Mm, honey, I’m very curious too.”

The woman played along obediently.

“Bring three cups of tea over here.”

Xu Shaochen said to the Sales Assistant, completely ignoring the barking couple.

“Certainly, please wait a moment.”

Soon, the Sales Assistant brought over three cups of clear tea.

Time passed minute by minute.

After more than ten minutes, an elegant and dignified woman walked in.

“Hello, boss.”

All the Sales Assistants greeted her.

“May I ask which friend said they wanted to acquire my store?”

The woman didn’t have time to acknowledge the Sales Assistants, her gaze shifting between Xu Shaochen and the middle-aged man.

She thought it was more likely the middle-aged man who wanted to buy the store, as Xu Shaochen seemed too young.

“Me. Name your price.”

Xu Shaochen said, putting down his Teacup.

The woman was stunned, looking at Xu Shaochen in disbelief, “Young man, you’re not joking with me, are you?”

“Do you think I’m in the mood to call you here just to joke?” Xu Shaochen retorted.

The middle-aged man sneered, “Boss, just name your price. It’s not like he can afford it anyway.”

The woman ignored him and said to Xu Shaochen with a serious expression, “Sir, I actually have no intention of selling this store. If you really want it, you need to be prepared for the price.”

Her form of address for Xu Shaochen changed from ‘young man’ to ‘sir’, indicating that she now placed him on equal footing to discuss business.

As for the middle-aged man’s sarcastic remarks, she paid no attention to them at all.

Because she didn’t believe Xu Shaochen was here just to fool her.

“Just name the price.”

Xu Shaochen said nonchalantly. To him, anything that could be solved with money wasn’t a problem at all.

Is money omnipotent?

Of course, money isn’t omnipotent.

But all the money is Xu Shaochen’s!

The woman thought for a moment and gave a price, “The storefront is my own purchase, and these goods were just brought in from outside not long ago. If you really want it, one hundred million.”

This price was a bit high, but not ridiculously so.

After all, this store’s area alone exceeded 300 square meters, and it was in the city center of Jingcheng. So just the land itself was close to 40 million.

Then there were all the luxury watches in the store, some of which cost several million each. Considering the renovation and various other factors, one hundred million wasn’t unreasonable.

“Kid, the price has been named. Go ahead and buy it if you can.”

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Shaochen and said sarcastically, with a mocking expression on his face.

“Let’s proceed with the paperwork.”

Xu Shaochen took out his checkbook, wrote a check, tore it out, and handed it to the woman.

He wasn’t worried about someone running off with the check. The store was still here, even if the person fled.

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Xu Shaochen to be so decisive.

A hundred-million-yuan deal, just like that? It felt like child’s play.

“Heh, who knows if that check is real or fake. I could write a billion-yuan check too, it just wouldn’t be cashable.”

The middle-aged man sneered, speaking sarcastically and questioning the legitimacy of Xu Shaochen’s check.

However, the woman just glanced at the check, her expression changing slightly, and said to Xu Shaochen, “Young Master Xu, if you have time, we can go through the procedures now.”

Because the check bore Xu Shaochen’s name, and the words ‘Xu Corporation’ were very eye-catching.

The woman thought of the gossip those wealthy ladies had been discussing at recent gatherings and realized the identity of the person before her.

“Are you crazy? Aren’t you going to the bank to verify the check’s authenticity?”

The middle-aged man’s face changed dramatically, looking at the woman in disbelief.

The woman smiled gently, “If the young director of the Xu Corporation needs this small amount of money, then I’ll accept that too.”

Boom!

Hearing these words, the middle-aged man’s mind exploded. His whole body swayed, and it took him a while to recover. He looked at the woman in disbelief:

“You… what did you just say? Xu Corporation… young director?”

The woman smiled without speaking, but her meaning was very clear.

The middle-aged man’s face instantly turned pale, feeling as if his heart might stop. He licked his lips, looked at Xu Shaochen wanting to say something, but couldn’t utter a word.

He was still in a daze.

Realizing that the person he had been mocking was actually the young director of Xu Corporation, his heart was filled with fear and regret.

How was his previous behavior any different from courting death?

There was a difference. The only difference was that it was slightly more subtle than outright suicide.

“Honey, what’s wrong, honey?”

The young woman tugged at the middle-aged man’s sleeve, not understanding why he was so frightened by a name.

“Why are you staring at me? What, want to remember my face to get revenge later?”

Xu Shaochen chuckled and said.

The middle-aged man shuddered in fear and said in a dry voice, “No… I wouldn’t dare. Not even with a hundred guts would I dare. Young Master Xu, it’s all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding.”

“Get lost.”

Xu Shaochen calmly uttered a single word.

“Yes, I’ll get lost. I’ll get lost right now.”

The middle-aged man nodded like a pecking chicken, his heart filled with relief and joy at having survived a close call.

As he finished speaking, he grabbed the woman’s hand and was about to leave.

“Honey, my watch…” The woman’s face showed anxiety.

“Slap!”

The middle-aged man turned and slapped her face, snarling with a twisted expression, “To hell with your watch, go home!”

The woman was startled, her pretty face turning pale. She didn’t dare to speak again, as it was the first time she had seen the middle-aged man like this.

The middle-aged man pulled her along as he left.

“I said roll. What, you don’t understand my words, or you don’t know this character?”

“Or, are you doing this on purpose?”

Just as he turned around, Xu Shaochen’s calm voice reached his ears again.

The middle-aged man froze, his body stiffening on the spot. He didn’t dare to turn back to look at Xu Shaochen. After a while, he slowly lay down on the ground and then rolled sideways towards the door.

After rolling out the door, he finally got up, feeling the various gazes around him. With a very embarrassed figure, he ducked into the Car at the entrance.
