After being rescued from the elevator, Bai Chengze and Yang Qiao 'an parted ways.
The sky outside was already bright.
The sky cleared up after the rain, and the air was fresh and sweet. There was also the fragrance of moist soil.
Bai Chengze was in a good mood.
He went all the way to Chinatown and greeted everyone along the way.
These days, Bai Chengze often wandered around Chinatown.
With his diligent mouth, he was quite familiar with the uncles, aunties, big brothers, and big sisters who set up stalls.
After taking two steps, Aunt Wang, who sold fried taro balls, caught up and grabbed Bai Chengze's arm." Little Ze, what happened to the matter we discussed yesterday?”
The matter that Aunty Wang was referring to was the increase in the Viper Gang's protection fee.
The night had passed, and everyone could not wait to know the outcome of the negotiation.
To them, their requirements were not too high. As long as the protection fee was the same as before and did not increase, they would be thankful.
Of course, they also knew that this kind of thing was not very realistic.
In their opinion, the outcome of the negotiation was very likely to be a compromise, from a 50% increase to a 30% increase.
No matter how small a grasshopper was, it was still meat. As long as there were some improvements, it would be good for the merchants.
Aunt Wang blinked her eyes, her face filled with anticipation as she waited for Bai Chengze's reply.
Bai Chengze replied bluntly,"The negotiation was very successful. They have already moved away."”
Upon hearing this, Aunty Wang was stunned. Then, she asked in confusion," Xiao Ze, what do you mean moved away? Aunt doesn't quite understand."
"They just moved away and stopped hanging around in Chinatown.”Bai Chengze replied casually.
"Then…then what about the protection fee?”Auntie Wang asked.
"I won't accept it." Bai Chengze put it simply.
Auntie Wang was dumbfounded. Then, she gently hit Bai Chengze's arm." You child, how can you make fun of me so early in the morning!”
" It's true, Aunty Wang." Bai Chengze yawned." We really won't collect protection fees anymore. There won't be such a rule in the future."”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Aunt Wang was left standing there with a hesitant expression.
After taking two steps, Uncle Zhang stopped Bai Chengze.
He took out two folded bills from his apron and stuffed them into Bai Chengze's hands. He muttered," You child! How can uncle take your money?"
Bai Chengze lowered his head to take a look.
This money was the extra 10,000 Korean won that he had paid Zhang Guoqing out of kindness when they were eating noodles at noon yesterday.
Although the money was not much, it was a token of his appreciation.
Seeing that Uncle Zhang was unwilling to accept it, Bai Chengze had no choice but to take the money and scratch his head." Maybe I made a mistake."”
Zhang Guoqing didn't say much, but he knew everything.
He knew that Bai Chengze was a kind child, and he approved of him in his heart.
"Did Xu Sheng talk to Viper yesterday?”Zhang Guoqing asked.
"No, I haven't." Bai Chengze replied truthfully.
Zhang Guoqing's face turned gloomy as he sighed,""See, I told you. It's useless to look for the Chamber of Commerce. It can't help at all…"
" However, I talked to them," Bai Chengze continued." They were very cooperative and were willing to move elsewhere. They should have moved by now."”
Zhang Guoqing was stunned.
Bai Chengze continued,"Therefore, the Viper Gang will not collect protection fees in the future."”
"Really?" Zhang Guoqing smiled and gently punched Bai Chengze in the chest." You child, don't fool around with your uncle."”
"It's true." Bai Chengze nodded, his gaze very firm.
Seeing that Zhang Guoqing refused to believe him, Bai Chengze did not explain further.
There was no need to explain too much. The truth would surface anyway.
Bai Chengze walked half the way down the street. Whenever he met a familiar face along the way, he would be stopped and interrogated.
Everyone was very concerned about the negotiation last night.
After all, this matter was related to how much money would flow out every month. It was all white silver, so everyone was very concerned.
Every time someone asked, Bai Chengze would repeat the fact that the negotiation was successful and the Viper Gang had moved away overnight.
Without a doubt, no matter who heard it, they would first be shocked, then hesitate, and then blame Bai Chengze for speaking without thinking.
Almost no one believed that the Viper Gang was really that cooperative. They moved out as they wished, and they even left overnight.
However, Bai Chengze's expression was extremely serious, as if it was true.
Everyone was confused. They didn't know what nonsense this child was talking about early in the morning.
Bai Chengze went to the teahouse and lay down on the office sofa. He fell asleep not long after.
Last night in the elevator, he had been taking care of Qiao An's posture, making his entire body stiff and sore. He hadn't had a good rest.
When he arrived at the office and saw that Xu Sheng had not arrived yet, Bai Chengze took a nap.
She slept for a long time.
The office was dimly lit with thick curtains, and she didn't know what time it was.
When Bai Chengze woke up naturally, it was already past four in the afternoon.
He sat up, stretched his limbs, and stretched his waist.
Xu Sheng did not come for a day and did not know what he had gone to do.
After making a pot of tea, Bai Chengze nibbled on an apple. He remembered that he still had to go to Qiao An's house for dinner that night, so he ignored the fact that he was hungry.
It was a good time to give her a good beating tonight.
After staying in the office for a while, Bai Chengze looked at his watch. It was already sunset.
After sleeping for a whole day, she felt very comfortable.
He had always believed that working was just using time to exchange for money. Only by slacking off could he really earn money.
Bai Chengze stood up, picked up his coat, and prepared to get off work.
As soon as she went out, she bumped into Xu Sheng coming up from downstairs.
Xu Sheng's expression did not look too good. When he saw Bai Chengze, his expression became even gloomier.
"You!" He stretched out a finger and pointed at Bai Chengze fiercely." What nonsense are you spouting outside? I've been on the phone all day! He doesn't even dare to see anyone now!"
"Why?"
"Why? It's all because you spread rumors outside!”Xu Sheng's face was flushed red." They said that the Viper Gang doesn't collect protection fees anymore! People on the street called me one by one to ask if it was true! I'm so annoyed! I can't even explain it. I'm scared when I see the phone now!”
" It's true." Bai Chengze shrugged." Be confident. The Viper Gang has really moved away."”
Xu Sheng pushed Bai Chengze." What's wrong with you today?!”
The two of them were arguing.
In the hall on the first floor of the teahouse, a group of people suddenly rushed in. They were chattering and chattering.
"F * ck!" Xu Sheng lowered his head and looked down. He quickly retracted his neck and cursed softly," This is great. We're blocked again!”
Bai Chengze smiled but didn't say anything.
"Laugh, still laughing!" Xu Sheng glared at him." You're the one who spread the rumors. You won't have it easy either!”
