Chapter 6: Negotiation

also having your meal here" Without hesitation, Huang Anping sat down opposite Xiao Mei."Yes, it is quite a coincidence." Xiao Mei looked at Huang Anping with her head raised and blushed slightly.Actu...Chapter Seventy-Six Negotiation

"Really" Liuyunman felt instantly more spirited.

"Yes, actually I also want to change the rule a bit." Xia Tian nodded seriously.

"Then you should go ahead and change it!" Liuyunman hurriedly said.

"Ms. Yunman, do you really want me to change the rules" Xia Tian asked Liuyunman with a cheeky smile.

"Of course I'm serious!" In her heart, Liuyunman still hoped that Xia Tian would treat her uncle; after all, he was her uncle regardless of anything else.

"Oh, then I'll change it." Xia Tian chuckled. "Ms. Yunman, you're the best to me, knowing how this rule doesn't benefit me."

"What" Liuyunman was taken aback. "You still think that changing the current rule is not beneficial Then what's your new rule going to be like"

The new rule would be saving someone from a life-threatening situation for one million, and leaving ten thousand when someone dies.

Liuyunman suddenly felt overwhelmed: "Then Xia Tian, you might as well not change it."

"Hey, naughty guy, what does 'leaving ten thousand' mean" Liumen was a bit curious.

"Just leave the patient with 10,000 yuan and give me all the rest," Xia Tian casually explained.

"Okay, okay! That's settled then!" Liu Meng looked delighted.

Liu Yunman looked at Liu Meng in a mix of amusement and frustration: "Auntie, you actually agree with him on this If he really does that, Uncle Three will have to blow the northwest wind for the rest of his life."

"Of course I agree! Xia Tian’s money is my money. The more he earns, the more I earn!" Liu Meng looked very happy. "It doesn’t matter if Big Brother Three has no money; I can lend money to Hanhan. When Hanhan borrows 100 yuan from me, I’ll ask her to repay one thousand."

Liu Yunman was speechless. She finally realized that the most heartless person wasn't Xia Tian or Hanhan, but rather her aunt.

Fortunately, at this point the dishes started arriving, and Liu Meng, who had been hungry all along, began to tuck into the food on the table.

From then on, Liu Yunman didn’t dare bring up asking Xia Tian to change the rules again. Mei Ruoting naturally also didn't dare mention it; they certainly wouldn’t want Xia Tian to really enforce the rule of saving lives with ten million and leaving patients just one thousand. This rule wasn’t something that even Liu Qi could accept, let alone them.

This meal was quite sumptuous, and by the time they finished eating it was already 7 PM. When Mei Ruoting left the restaurant, she felt somewhat disappointed in her heart; all she wanted now was to go back home and convince her husband, but she knew that this opportunity was slim.

"Doctor Xia, Xiao Meng, Xiao Man, I’ll take my leave first," Mei Ruoting said helplessly, as tonight had been a complete waste of time for her.

"I also need to head back. Auntie, are you coming with me" Liu Yunman asked.

"No way! I want to go out and play with Little Rascal," Liu Meng still wanted to play.

"In the summer, where do you plan to take your aunt" Liuyunman felt a bit uneasy but couldn't change her aunt's decision.

"I'm going to Shengshi Gechao for negotiations," Summer replied. During dinner, Fatso had called him and he had agreed to talk with the bald man; when Liu Meng heard that it was a karaoke place, she was also interested in joining them to sing.

"Shall I go with you guys" After much thought, Liuyunman decided to keep closer watch on her aunt so as not to let Summer, this lecherous wolf, take advantage of her.

The bald man and Ding Bao had arranged their meeting for eight o'clock, but in fact, the bald man arrived at Shengshi Gechao with four of his men half an hour earlier. He occupied the most luxurious Supreme VIP room there.

"Brother Bao, my brother the bald one is going to speak plainly now," he said as he lit a cigar and crossed his legs arrogantly, "Your karaoke lounge is mine now; give me your price."

"Brother Baldy, this karaoke place isn't under my control anymore." Ding Bao smiled coolly. "If you want to talk, the head of our gang will talk with you."

"Your boss" The bald man's expression changed slightly. "I didn't expect Brother Bao would recognize someone as his superior; I'm rather curious which deity did Brother Bao connect with then"

As they entered the room, Black Three and Wang Jie were there.

Ding Bao hurried to stand up and greet Wang Jie respectfully: "Brother Jie."

Wang Jie waved his hand, sat down nonchalantly while Ding Bao and Black Three stood humbly behind him.

"Brother Bao, this is your new boss" Looking at Wang Jie, the bald man found it hard to believe. From his long years of experience in the underworld, he could immediately tell that Wang Jie was just a greenhorn on the scene.

"That's right, this is my boss, Brother Jie," Ding Bao smiled faintly. "Baldy, if you want to buy the cabaret, just talk to Brother Jie."

"Brother Jie, huh" Baldy looked at the fat guy with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "I assume Brother Bao has already told you how interested I am in this cabaret."

"Baldy, I heard your bar business is quite good too; you can earn hundreds of thousands per month. Why don't you sell it to me" The fat guy sprawled on the couch with his arms spread wide. To be honest, when he put on airs, he did look somewhat like a big shot.

Baldy blew out a smoke ring: "Brother Jie, let's talk about your cabaret first. Once we've settled that, it's not too late to discuss my bar."

"Oh, then let's start with the cabaret. Since Baldy is interested, I can help make this happen for you; as long as the price is right, I'll sell it to you." The fat guy appeared quite accommodating.

Baldy seemed satisfied: "Then please give me a price."

"Hmm... seeing how decent Baldy seems, I'll cut you a good deal. Eighty percent off—I'll ask for ten million yuan."

Ding Bao and Black Three exchanged glances; this Brother Jie was really asking for the moon. While the cabaret did make money, setting up one didn't actually cost that much, yet he asked for a cool ten million upfront.

Baldy couldn't help but snort: "It looks like Brother Jie isn't serious about doing business."

"Baldy, you're mistaken. Business is all about haggling. I can make an offer and you can counter it; how could that be seen as a lack of sincerity" The fat guy shook his head, saying this. At the very least, he was a college student who had read plenty of books—his tongue-wagging skills were decent.

"Brother Jie is right," Baldy chuckled, "I misunderstood you. In that case, I'll counter your offer: what if I give you ten thousand yuan"

Hearing this price, Ding Bao and Hei San's expressions changed. Hei San couldn't help but want to speak out, only to be stopped by a gesture from Ding Bao. But they were both equally furious inside; ten thousand This was outright robbery!

"Ten thousand Not bad!" The fatty actually nodded in agreement.

“Brother Jie!” Ding Bao called out immediately, wanting to say something but was stopped by the fatty’s hand signal.

“Brother Jie is indeed sincere. I had misunderstood Brother Jie earlier on. Come, let me toast to you!” Baldy seemed quite pleased; he initially thought this kid would be a headache, only to find out that this guy really was just a rookie in the underworld scene. He didn’t know if Ding Bao’s brain had malfunctioned or what but he actually took this kid as his big brother.

“Here we go, bottoms up!” The fatty picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Baldy's before downing it in one gulp. "Brother Baldy, so let's agree on that then; your nightclub is sold to me for ten thousand."

"Pfft!" A mouthful of wine spewed out from Baldy’s mouth as he was also coughed into choking, hacking away uncontrollably: “Cough...”

Initially in a deep depression, Ding Bao and Hei San thought the fatty really wanted to sell the nightclub for ten thousand. Suddenly hearing this sentence, they felt like they’d gone from Hell to Heaven, an extremely pleasant sensation.

"Haha! Brother Baldy, our Brother Jie is right; let’s buy your bar for ten thousand!" Ding Bao burst into laughter.

“Bang...” Standing up from the table in anger, Baldy stared at the fatty. "Brother Jie, it seems you have no sincerity at all then! In that case, I’ll just get Brother Wang to talk with you guys!”

Baldy took out his phone and dialed a number; after speaking for several moments over the call, he sat back down, looking somewhat pleased as he looked at the fatty and co. "Brother Jie, Brother Bao, I originally wanted to negotiate properly with you guys, but seeing that there’s no sincerity on your side then it's not my fault anymore!"

After Baldy said this, the VIP room door opened and a few people walked in. Leading the way was an ordinary-looking youth; a girl wearing a white dress like a fairy clung to his arm. Behind them were two extraordinarily beautiful women – one as pure as a lily while the other as enchanting as a rose.

"Big Brother, Big Sister!" The fat man quickly stood up and greeted them warmly, "Big Brother, Big Sister, please sit over here."

"Sky Brother, Sky Sister!" Ding Bao and Hei San also greeted them respectfully. However, they were a bit puzzled as to why the woman beside Sky Brother wasn't Sky Sister And how could it be that Sky Sister was following behind Sky Brother

The newcomers were naturally Xia Tian and company who had arrived with Liu Meng and Liu Yunman while Sun Xinxin had already been waiting here. As for her reason for being here, Xia Tian didn’t know nor did he inquire.

Baldy’s expression wasn’t too good; he wasn’t stupid either. Seeing the fat man and Ding Bao’s reactions, he knew that the newcomer was the real boss. Even though he didn’t recognize this person, the fact that he had brought three exceptionally beautiful women with him meant that not many people could pull off such a display.

And soon enough, Baldy’s expression turned even more puzzled as he realized there was actually someone else who had come in along with them earlier.

"Brother Wang! You’re here!" Baldy immediately stood up to welcome him.

This so-called Brother Wang naturally referred to Wang Jian from the Public Security Brigade. At this moment, he was standing carefully behind Xia Tian with a very respectful expression on his face, which made Baldy feel like strangling him. What’s going on here The big backer I brought in is actually standing over there

"Who's your Brother Wang Call me Captain Wang!" Wang Jian glared fiercely at Baldy.

"Brother... no, Captain Wang, what’s this then" Baldy was dumbfounded; his four little brothers behind him were even more confused. Weren’t these two close buddies who had been brothel buddies together

"Old Baldy, you really think you’re something I heard that you actually want to negotiate with Sky Brother!" Wang Jian glared fiercely at Baldy and then started yelling at him. "When someone calls you Old Baldy, do you really believe yourself a big shot What’s your status Do you even have the qualifications to negotiate with Sky Brother" just going to leave like this" As they exited Xue Fu Mingyuan Community, Bao Xiaotao couldn't hold back any longer. "We didn’t even get a chance to talk to anyone.""Xia Tian has an alibi and there's...
