Chapter 37: Never Ending
As soon as Tan Xuan started the car, Su Cheng stopped in front of it.
Su Cheng stood in front of the car and shouted, "Tan Xuan, listen to me..."
"Get out of the way! If you have money, go find someone else." Tan Xuan saw that Su Cheng was full of disgust, so he was not willing to listen to her anymore.
"I won't let you."
Tan Xuan honked the horn twice, but Su Cheng did not let him go. Instead, he opened his arms and completely blocked Tan Xuan's way out.
Tan Xuan became even angrier, got out of the car and walked to the front of the car and asked angrily: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm not doing anything, I just want you to accompany me to the event."
Tan Xuan's face was as gloomy as water. He tried his best not to swear. He looked at Su Cheng and did not hide his disappointment and disgust from the bottom of his heart. "I said I'm not going. Don't you understand? If you want to find excitement, go find it. Why do you have to involve me? Do you and I know each other well? Who are you to me? Why should I listen to your orders?"
Su Cheng looked at Tan Xuan with red eyes, and shouted angrily: "I said, I'll give you money and hire you, okay? Why are you yelling at me?"
Tan Xuan glanced at Su Cheng, his eyes changed from angry to calm, and he sneered: "It's great to be rich, if you have money, go hire someone else, I won't serve you."
After saying that, Tan Xuan turned back to the car, started the car again, and stepped on the accelerator and the car started moving.
"ah!"
When Su Cheng saw the car moving, he was so scared that he quickly hid to the side.
Tan Xuan had driven less than half a meter when he stopped again because there was another Xiao Di in front of the car.
Xiao Di stopped the car and came to the left side of the car. She swung her handbag and smashed it on the windshield. Then she pointed at Tan Xuan and cursed: "Tan Xuan, you bastard, do you want to kill me? Get off right here!"
Tan Xuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He pushed open the car door and got out again. He pushed Xiao Di aside and said angrily, "What are you doing? Are you playing tricks on me? What do you want? It's endless, isn't it?"
Xiao Di pulled the car door to prevent Tan Xuan from getting in again, "Who is going on and on with you? Can't you just talk properly? You left before you finished talking. What's wrong with you just listening to Su Cheng finish his words?"
Tan Xuan's brows were almost twisted together. He suppressed his anger and said to Xiao Di word by word: "I reiterate to you, I am not interested in her activities. You have the money to hire someone who is willing to serve you. I am not your babysitter, let alone your follower. I am not in the mood to play with you. Don't show off your money to me. I am not to the point where you can humiliate me."
"Have you been provoked by something? Why do you speak so harshly? Who showed off to you? Who humiliated you?" Xiao Di scolded Tan Xuan and looked at Su Cheng, then stopped talking. Seeing Su Cheng's pale face under the light, she knew who said those words.
"Alas..." Xiao Di shook his head, then lowered his voice and said to Tan Xuan in a "pleasant" manner: "Su Tan also said the wrong thing in a hurry. You refused before, but you really have to help her this time."
"Why should I help her?" Although Tan Xuan was still furious, he couldn't continue to frown at Xiao Di who was apologetically smiling. After all, he was a man and couldn't be more stingy than a woman. This was what his master often taught him.
"Oh, you left before I even had the chance to explain to you. I wasted my money treating you to a meal, and you haven't even taken two bites yet..."
Xiao Di talked on and on for a while. Although it was a bit slow, it eased the atmosphere a little. Seeing that Tan Xuan's expression was no longer so serious, she brought up the business.
"Su Cheng became famous in their group a few days ago, attracting many supernatural enthusiasts. Su Cheng has little experience, and the previous activities all failed, and the enthusiasm in the group has cooled down. But yesterday, someone in the group added Su Cheng's WeChat, hoping that Su Cheng could organize another event, and was willing to provide funds for this event, but the premise is that you must participate in this event. Su Cheng knew that she might not be able to invite you, so she asked me to invite you together."
"Is this how ask for help?" Tan Xuan glared at Xiao Di, then looked at Su Cheng, but neither of them dared to look at him.
Tan Xuan snorted coldly and said to Su Cheng who kept his head down, "No wonder you sound so arrogant, there must be someone behind you. How much did the other party promise you? You sold me out."
Su Cheng lowered his head and held up two fingers. "It's not much. He just transferred 20,000 yuan to me via WeChat."
"Twenty thousand, he's really generous." Tan Xuan sneered, "Return the money you received, I'm not interested in this kind of activity."
Su Cheng shook his head. "I can't return it. I've already spent the money, so I came to you with such a shameless attitude."
"What!" Tan Xuan shouted in surprise, and couldn't help but look at Su Cheng twice more. This guy is really a generous person, spending money very quickly. He couldn't help but sneer and say: "You've already spent the money, why are you still pretending to be rich in front of me? Are you crazy?"
Xiao Di on the side also frowned obviously. It seemed that she had just heard about this situation. When she looked at Su Cheng, her eyes became a little complicated, but it was unclear whether she was frowning because Su Cheng was collecting money or because Su Cheng was spending money.
"He said that as long as the event is held at the time and place he requested, he would give me another 20,000 yuan, so I said I would hire you."
"The time and place were set. That person wasn't here to participate in some activities, was he? He specifically asked me to go because he wanted me to protect him." Tan Xuan snorted coldly, "Twenty thousand yuan to hire me for this, it's a pity that he said it, and it's a pity that you dare to accept it. When did I become so worthless? Ask your brother-in-law how much his boss paid me for asking me to do this. I think that's too low. He has the nerve to specifically ask me for twenty thousand yuan Is his money made of gold? Tell him I'm not interested."
Hearing that Qian Bo's leader was still asking Tan Xuan to do something, and that the fee sounded far more than 20,000, Su Cheng realized that he seemed to have done something wrong. But it was too late to regret now. He could only timidly say, "But I took the money and promised him. It's too late to refuse now. What should I do? Tan Xuan, please go. What if nothing happens? You've earned 20,000 yuan for nothing..."
"Twenty thousand yuan, humph!" Tan Xuan glanced at Su Cheng, feeling indescribable disgust in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "Do you think that person is a sucker? There is no such thing as a surprise in this event. There must be something wrong, and it must be a big one. Otherwise, who would be willing to spend money on you for no reason."
Su Cheng looked at Tan Xuan in panic, "You said there would be danger? Then he...then I will contact him now and lend him the money right away."
Having said that, Su Cheng took out his cell phone and called that person.
But before he could say a few words, Su Cheng hung up the phone with a sad face, and said to Tan Xuan with tears in his eyes: "He doesn't agree to cancel the event. He said that if I go back on my word, he will ruin my reputation in the group and make me unable to stay in the group."
After saying that, Su Cheng could no longer control his emotions and started crying.
"What can I do? I can't even return the money. He said that since I received the deposit, the agreement has been reached."
"How could that person do that?" Xiao Di couldn't stand it anymore, so he patted Su Cheng's shoulder and comforted her, "Chengzi, don't cry. Give me your phone number and I'll talk to that person. He wants to force us to buy and sell. Is he lawless? He can dream on."
"Forget it, you don't have to call, it's useless." Tan Xuan waved his hand and stopped Xiao Di from making the call, then said to Su Cheng: "Tell that person that I can participate in the event, but I'm not that cheap. If he adds a zero to the fee and gives it to me before the event, I can go with him. But you have to make it clear to him that this is only the cost of my trip. If there is anything that requires my help, the cost will be calculated separately."
"If you add a zero to the end of the fee, wouldn't that be two hundred thousand?" Su Cheng's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Tan Xuan in disbelief, and for a moment he even forgot to cry. "This is too much, and it's just the cost of participating in the event. There will be extra charges for other things,"
Tan Xuan snorted and sneered, "Is two hundred thousand a lot? Just tell him so. If he is willing, then he is willing. If he is not willing, then forget it."
Su Cheng's face turned bitter again, and he muttered quietly: "The price is so outrageous, how could he agree to it?"
Xiao Di pulled Su Cheng and said, "Call that person as Tan Xuan said. It's that price. If he agrees, then agree. If he doesn't agree, then forget it. Even if he doesn't agree, it's his problem, not yours. At the same time, turn on the call recording. If he wants to play any tricks, this can be considered as evidence in your favor."
"You mean we ask for a high price to scare him away?" Su Cheng's eyes lit up, but he was still a little hesitant. He held the phone and asked Tan Xuan, "Is this really okay?"
"Just fight, is there anything wrong with that?" Tan Xuan was too lazy to say anything more to Su Cheng, and turned his head away impatiently. Even if Xiao Di misunderstood what he meant, he was too lazy to explain.
Su Cheng called the man again, this time she turned on the speaker directly and told the man the price that Tan Xuan wanted according to Xiao Di's instructions. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then the man agreed to Tan Xuan's outrageous price, and also agreed to the request to settle other expenses separately. But the man also had a condition, that he had to meet Tan Xuan in person before paying.
Tan Xuan nodded in agreement and asked Su Cheng to ask that person when and where to meet. He was very busy and didn't have time to waste too much time with him.
The man set the time for tomorrow morning and the location was Jiangzhou International Hotel.
"I went, and he actually agreed."
"Is he crazy?"
After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng and Xiao Di were both stunned. They didn't expect the other party to agree so "readily". They looked at Tan Xuan with blank expressions.
Tan Xuan snorted and sneered: "I don't know if he is crazy or not, but now I can be sure that he is scared."
