Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 16 The hatred has been established, can’t you pay it back?
There were many people surrounding Tang Zheng, but not as Tang Ququan expected, where everyone was just envious and fawning towards them.
Tang Zheng 's eyes swept across the young boys and girls, and what he saw was more jealousy and even obvious hostility.
"Tang Ququan is really good at creating hatred." Tang Zheng smiled with his eyes narrowed.
He felt that there should be no other star-loved person in the world who was as high-profile as him!
First, he obtained the favor of the star in a magnificent manner in public.
Then, they beat drums and gongs and held a grand banquet to celebrate the arrival of the star family.
He really couldn't think of how to make it even more bizarre.
"Hey. Tang...well..." After Tang Zheng sent the matchmaker away, he pulled over Tang Ququan's son.
"My name is Tang Feipeng!" Seeing that Tang Zheng obviously didn't remember his name, Tang Ququan's son could only introduce himself.
"Yes, I remember that you are Tang Ququan's eldest son! You should know all the guests at today's banquet, right?" Tang Zhengdao.
"certainly……"
"Come, introduce who they are."
Tang Zheng watched for a long time and suddenly felt that this banquet might not be that bad.
At least, he could know who in Emerald City might be hostile to him.
If you encounter it in the future, you can be prepared!
Tang Feipeng introduced him to Tang Zheng without thinking too much.
"The one wearing a blue skirt over there is the daughter of the Jade Stone City Lord. Her name is Luo Qingqian. She is seventeen years old and has already reached the initial stage of the second star. Her second life palace is the main star of the sun. Look...she is winking at you."
"If a girl looks at you, it must be a seductive look..." Tang Zheng felt that the look was a bit murderous.
"The one on her left is Yang Hufang, a butcher. He is 25 years old and has just reached the peak of the two-star level. This is his first time to take the Yisu Academy exam, but it will also be his last time, because next year he will be over the age limit and will no longer be eligible to take the exam..."
"Well, no wonder..." Tang Zheng looked at Yang Hufang with a very unfriendly look.
Tang Feipeng introduced him to many young people in their teens and twenties, most of whom looked at Tang Zheng unfriendly.
Tang Zheng wrote them down one by one.
Tang Feipeng asked if he should go over to say hello, but Tang Zheng shook his hand and went to play with Xiao Lingling.
One afternoon...
Tang Zheng and Xiao Lingdang had a lot of fun playing.
However, the one who was happier was Tang Ququan.
Tang Ququan is really very proud of himself today!
Originally, he was unsure about Tang Zheng's identity, so he was not completely sure whether Tang Zheng would cooperate. However, the results this afternoon made him very satisfied - Tang Zheng was busy playing with Xiao Lingdang and ignored him.
He had imagined a lot of Tang Zheng's reactions and prepared a lot of excuses to save the situation, but none of them were of any use.
"But this is the best, this is the best..." With the golden signboard of the Star's Favored One, he had received countless envious glances. He had directly concluded at least four deals today, and these did not even include the intention, which would be discussed in a few days.
Tang Ququan drank a lot of wine, and when he returned to the room, his face was greasy.
He calculated that the four deals concluded today would bring in at least 40 taels of purple gold each month, while their previous monthly income was no more than five taels of purple gold.
So cool!
He felt that he was very foresighted in bringing Tang Zheng and the others to his house.
Just as he was happily thinking about future profits, there was a knock on the door.
It's already dark.
He didn't know who else would come to him.
When I went over and opened the door, I saw Tang Zheng's smiling face.
"Ah?" Tang Ququan felt guilty, and when he saw Tang Zheng, he subconsciously took two steps back.
He changed his mind and thought again: as a powerful four-star warrior, what should he be afraid of in front of a two-star warrior?
So, he stiffened his back and neck again and asked, "Is there... anything?"
"Don't be nervous. I just think it's time for us to talk." Tang Zheng smiled harmlessly.
…
Tang Ququan felt a sense of oppression.
A four-star warrior felt oppressed when facing a two-star warrior, and he would be too embarrassed to face anyone if he told others about it.
However, for some reason, when he looked into Tang Zheng's eyes, he felt an overwhelming force sweeping over him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat on his back.
He even had a ridiculous thought: "He won't kill me, will he?"
You know, he is a four-star warrior!
He had no idea how such an illogical thought could come to him.
"I told you not to be nervous. I'm here to discuss business with you." Tang Zheng tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile, "This afternoon, you and Luo Yudong, the defender of Feishi City, reached an agreement on a franchise business of selling bamboo shoots from the Qingshu family to Feishi City. Then, you immediately agreed with Chen Ping, the quartermaster of the garrison, to include fresh bamboo shoots in the military supply catalog..."
Tang Zheng continued speaking sentence by sentence, causing Tang Ququan to break out in a cold sweat.
Tang Zheng actually told him every detail of all the deals he had already concluded and the deals he was interested in doing this afternoon.
Not one left behind!
Whether it was the name of the business partner, the content of the business, or the agreed price, Tang Zheng could actually report them all!
Even the kickbacks he got from the quartermaster were revealed in a low voice by Tang Zheng.
"You...you..." Tang Ququan's good mood was instantly wiped out. Even his own son couldn't know the details of what he talked about this afternoon. Therefore, it was possible that Tang Zheng heard every word he said while he was talking.
But, how is that possible?
The banquet hall was so noisy at the time, with countless people talking at the same time. Tang Zheng did not approach him on purpose, and some of his words were even spoken in a very low voice. How could Tang Zheng have such good hearing...
"Yes, I heard it all." Tang Zheng admitted with a smile. He really has such good hearing!
He has been practicing for ten years to distinguish the sounds he needs from the noisy sounds. If he didn't have such hearing ability, the skill sound effects of the hundred-man dungeon group would be enough to bring him to his knees. How could he still be a high-level player?
Tang Ququan's face darkened a little: "So...what do you want to do?"
"Give me 50% of the profits from all your businesses." Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Fuck, why don't you just go and rob it!" Tang Ququan felt that he was already shameless enough, but he didn't expect Tang Zheng to be even more shameless, "50%? You don't do anything, and you want 50% of the profit? There is no such good thing in the world..."
"Didn't I do anything?" Tang Zheng laughed even more happily, "You have brought me a lot of hatred and trouble. Don't you know that?"
Tang Ququan's eyes widened. "You obtained the inheritance of the Sun Star in a public place like a restaurant. In just two days, the whole Feishi City must have known about it... I just gave you a little help, how can you blame me for making you hate me... Wait, what do you mean by making you hate me?"
Tang Zheng didn't bargain with him at all, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's all your fault!"
"Fuck! So you didn't make a fuss or lose your temper, so you deliberately waited until I had already concluded the deal before you came to 'talk' about business with me?"
"Of course, you grow leeks and I harvest them, how nice..." Tang Zheng continued with a harmless smile.
Tang Ququan was so angry that his lips were trembling.
Tang Zheng didn't hide it at all, he was just being a rogue.
No matter how much he talked, saying that Tang Zheng publicly obtained the Star's favor and brought disaster upon himself, and that he did not bring hatred to Tang Zheng, it would not have any effect.
Because Tang Zheng didn't listen to his reason at all!
Tang Zheng has already stood up: "I believe you should have no objection, right? Then let's happily make it a deal..."
"Wait." Although Tang Ququan's brain was not very clear, he grew up in the market, so his reaction was not slow. He immediately changed his face into tears, "Mr. Tang, please be kind, you are so rich..."
"Yes, I am very rich." Tang Zheng nodded with a smile, "But, what does that have to do with you?"
"You are so rich now, even if you help us... you see, the Tang family is already so poor that they can't even make ends meet. I have such a big family to support, it's not easy." Tang Ququan is a four-star strong man, and he is not inferior to Tang Zheng in playing rogue. After saying a few words, he actually shed tears.
"Oh..." Tang Zheng nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that his change of strategy seemed to be effective, Tang Ququan cried even more frequently: "Mr. Tang, please be kind and help me. Anyway, your identity as a Star-Favored One will be spread sooner or later. It won't hurt you if it's spread a little earlier or later. I'm just lending you a little bit of support, but you're asking me for a share. Isn't that too polite? Anyway, you're not short of money. The share I give you a month is not enough for your pocket money..."
Tang Zheng nodded again: "Well, it's definitely not enough for my pocket money, but..."
Tang Ququan wiped away his tears and looked at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng laughed, imitating Tang Ququan's arrogant tone when he first went to Tangjiabao, and said: "Although we let you borrow a favor because you provided food and accommodation for the past few days, you are not polite. You and I are not related, so there should be no relationship. I am kind enough to let you borrow a favor, so you should be grateful, but don't be so servile and have unreasonable expectations..."
As soon as Tang Ququan heard this, he knew where he came from.
When he was invited to Tangjiabao, he seemed to have said something like this, saying that Tangjiabao was a wild branch and had been cleared out of the family, so there was no need to try to get close to it.
"You're a young man , a man! Do you think it's appropriate for you to hold grudges, be petty, and be narrow-minded like this?" Tang Ququan was angry.
He simply couldn't believe that Tang Zheng's memory was so good.
It was just one sentence, but he could remember it word for word from summer to autumn!
Tang Zheng smiled happily and nodded: "It's inappropriate, it's totally inappropriate. As a man, I feel ashamed of my vengeful nature!"
"Then..." Tang Ququan blinked.
"I don't want 50% of the profits anymore, I want... 49%!" Tang Zheng made a huge concession with a smile.
