Chapter 207: No Use, Just Bored
Chapter 207: No Use, Just Bored
After eating with Yang Mi, Tang Chen went out. It was already past one in the afternoon, and the sun was blazing. Luckily, there was a gentle breeze; otherwise, Tang Chen wouldn’t have bothered going out to complete his mission.
“Young Master Tang!” Chen Laosan saw Tang Chen approaching from afar and quickly came over with his four companions to greet him. Among these four was He Ping.
“You’re here,” Tang Chen nodded casually and glanced at the minivan Chen Laosan had driven. Then he said, “This car isn’t flashy enough. Your mission today is to come with me, Young Master, to show off. Let’s take my Extravagant Battle Car.”
“Yes, Young Master Tang!” Chen Laosan agreed. He had already seen Tang Chen’s cool Sports Car. Since Young Master Tang invited them to ride in it today, he was naturally excited.
Without further ado, Tang Chen drove off with Chen Laosan and the others. On the way, Chen Laosan asked, “Young Master Tang, since you’re not taking us to cause trouble today, what exactly is the mission? Please let me know so I can be prepared.”
Tang Chen said casually, “Today’s mission is simple. Didn’t I tell you on the phone? Young Master is taking you to make money. You know I have too much money, so I plan to buy ten Supermarkets for fun. I’ll give five of them to you. You can renovate them and turn them into a few Bar branches.”
Pfft!
Apart from Chen Laosan and He Ping, who had witnessed Tang Chen’s extravagance before, the other three followers were going out with Tang Chen for the first time. Hearing this, they almost choked in disbelief.
Holy crap, this was indeed their Young Master Tang. He was truly awesome! He had so much money he wanted to buy ten Supermarkets just for fun. Jesus’ uncle, how legendary was Young Master Tang!
Chen Laosan was not hearing such impressive words from Young Master Tang for the first time, but he still couldn’t help grinning and said, “Young Master Tang, what about the other five Supermarkets? What do you plan to do with them?”
Tang Chen shrugged and said, “I asked Old Pang about it. It seems our Junyue also needs to open some chain stores. I’ll hand the other five over to Old Pang to handle. Enough talk. Young Master is taking you to the largest Supermarket in the city. Make sure your outfits are on point. Don’t embarrass me.”
“Don’t worry, Young Master Tang. We’ve been by your side for so long; we know how to keep up appearances,” Chen Laosan said proudly as he put on the leather shoes he had taken off.
Good Luck Supermarket was one of the largest Supermarkets in the city, with hundreds of branches nationwide. It offered good quality at low prices and occupied a two-story building, making it look very impressive.
Tang Chen screeched to a stop in front of the entrance. A Security Guard came over and said, “Sir, a car like yours should be parked in the parking lot. We can’t keep an eye on it here.”
Tang Chen didn’t answer him. Instead, he walked away on his own and left a remark: “Chen Laosan, you know what to do.”
“Don’t worry, Young Master Tang. I understand,” Chen Laosan replied. Having been with Tang Chen for some time, he would be an idiot if he didn’t know what to do in such situations.
“Here’s five thousand. It’s a reward from our Young Master Tang. Keep a close eye on Young Master’s car, and there will be more rewards when we return,” Chen Laosan directly took out a stack of bills and placed it in the Security Guard’s hand. He had specifically withdrawn this money from the bank for unexpected needs.
“Yes, yes. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a close watch on this car. I won’t let it get even a tiny scratch,” the Security Guard quickly stuffed the five thousand into his pocket with a wide smile and stood to the side.
Chen Laosan smiled and left with He Ping and the others. As they walked, he said, “Remember, when you’re out with Young Master Tang, if something can be solved with money, don’t make Young Master ask twice. Young Master has a lot on his plate and shouldn’t bother with such trivial matters.”
“Yes, Third Master. Thank you for the advice,” He Ping and the others suddenly understood and quickly flattered him.
Tang Chen knew Chen Laosan would handle things properly, so he didn’t pay attention to what happened afterward. Not far away, Chen Laosan and the others caught up, and the group entered the Supermarket.
Tang Chen didn’t waste any time. He had come with a purpose today and needed to get things done quickly.
“Miss, is your Boss here?” Tang Chen walked up to a female cashier. Since it was afternoon, there weren’t many customers. The cashier was fixing her hair in front of a mirror.
“Huh?” The cashier stood up and asked, “What do you need our Boss for? If you want to buy something, please go inside.”
Tang Chen said, “I want to buy your Supermarket, so I need to discuss the price with your Boss face to face.”
Crack!
The mirror in the cashier’s hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. She said in disbelief, “Sir, are you joking? You want to buy our Supermarket?”
Forgive this girl for being shocked. Anyone would be startled hearing something like that.
Tang Chen grunted impatiently and said, “Miss, Young Master has many things to do and doesn’t want to waste time. Please call your Boss to come out.”
The cashier still seemed doubtful and said, “Sir, our Good Luck Supermarket is quite large. Are you joking?”
The cashier thought this was the funniest joke she had heard in 2016. It was her first time encountering someone who wanted to buy a Supermarket.
“Are you doubting that Young Master can’t afford it?” Tang Chen was displeased. He directly took out a stack of red bills from his pocket and placed them in front of the cashier. Coldly, he said, “Call your Boss out. Young Master will show you whether I can afford this shoddy Supermarket of yours!”
Chen Laosan cheered and led the others in clapping vigorously. Truly, Young Master Tang was incredibly awesome.
“Um, sir, what do you mean by this?” The cashier was stunned. Holy crap, this stack was at least ten thousand! And he just tossed it out so casually? Was he a walking bank?
Smack…
Another ten thousand was thrown in front of the cashier. “I said, get your Boss here.”
“Sir, you…”
Smack!
“I’ll say it again. Get your Boss here. I want to buy your Supermarket!”
The cashier was truly bewildered. This guy was too domineering! He didn’t even give her a chance to speak, throwing out ten thousand each time. What kind of pocket was this? Doraemon’s pocket?
The commotion also attracted other cashiers and onlookers, who started discussing among themselves.
“Oh my god, did you hear that? This guy actually wants to buy the Supermarket. Is he joking?”
“I don’t think he’s joking. Look at the way he throws money. He might really be a big spender.”
“Miss, you should just call your Boss. My heart can’t take this.”
Smack!
Tang Chen threw another twenty thousand in front of the cashier and repeated, “I’ll say it one more time. Call your Boss. I want to buy his Supermarket.”
“Okay, I’ll call, I’ll call.” The girl was almost in tears. Why was a rich person picking on her? Was having money so great?
“Hey, Boss, could you come to the cashier area? Someone wants to buy your Supermarket. I’m not kidding, it’s for real. Please come quickly.” The girl quickly made a call. The Boss on the other end was probably cursing.
After a while, the Boss finally arrived. The crowd automatically made way, and the Boss reached the cashier area. He angrily scolded the cashier, “I knew you were messing with me, right? Did you cause some trouble you can’t handle? And you said someone wants to buy my Supermarket. Where is he?”
The cashier pointed at Tang Chen and said to the Boss with grievance, “Boss, it’s him. He insisted I call you. I had no choice.”
The Boss turned to look at Tang Chen’s unusually young face and said, “Young man, you want to buy my Supermarket? Do you know how much it’s worth? It’s okay to joke, but not like this.”
Tang Chen said arrogantly, “I’m not joking with you, and Young Master doesn’t have time for jokes. I said I want to buy your Supermarket. Name your price.”
Seeing that Tang Chen didn’t seem to be joking, the Boss cautiously asked, “Young man, may I ask why you want to buy my Supermarket? What do you need it for?”
Tang Chen said pretentiously, “No use, just bored. Stop wasting time and tell me how much.”
