Chapter 208: Reward Item, I Assemble I Assemble Assembly Kit One Set!
As soon as Tang Chen finished speaking, Chen Laosan and the others were even more impressed, prostrating themselves in admiration. Look, look, this is truly showing off! Who else in this world could brag so ostentatiously like Young Master Tang?
The Boss was speechless. Damn it, does this kid have to show off so hard? Even if you’re really rich, you can’t act like this. And saying things like “I don’t mean anything else, I’m just bored”—if you’re so bored, why not do some charity instead?
“Young man, my supermarket’s annual profit starts in the tens of millions. If you really want to buy it, let’s find a place to sit down and talk properly,” the Boss said.
The Boss chose to believe Tang Chen’s words. After all, the only people who could say something like that were either lunatics or incredibly rich people. He preferred to believe Tang Chen was the latter.
Tang Chen waved his hand and said, “Young Master doesn’t have that much time. You said your supermarket makes tens of millions in profit per year, right? Young Master won’t let you suffer a loss. I’ll give you fifty million. Give me your card number.”
Hiss!
Not only the Boss, but even the onlookers gasped in shock. Fifty million? Was this guy joking?
The Boss quickly calculated in his mind. Running a supermarket was profitable, but it could never reach fifty million. He had exaggerated by saying tens of millions in annual profit, hoping to scare Tang Chen off with a terrifying number.
But what the Boss didn’t expect was that not only did his number fail to scare Tang Chen, but the price Tang Chen offered made him utterly dumbfounded.
“Are you fucking selling or not? If you think the money is too little, just say it straight! Young Master’s time is precious!” Tang Chen was annoyed seeing the Boss deep in thought. Damn it, I’ve already given my price. Can’t you just say whether you’re selling or not?
Chen Laosan noticed Tang Chen was angry and thought it was time to show his loyalty. He immediately pulled out an anti-harassment device from his waist with his left hand.
Crackle, crackle!
“Young Master Tang is asking you a question! Didn’t you fucking understand?!” While Tang Chen played the good cop, Chen Laosan played the bad cop. The threatening sound of the anti-harassment device sent a chill down the Boss’s spine. Damn, these guys are gangsters.
“I’ll sell, I’ll sell! My card number is…” The Boss didn’t dare delay any longer. The other side had clearly shown their threatening intent. If he persisted, he might just get zapped by that device.
Tang Chen grunted in acknowledgment and had the System transfer fifty million to the Boss. He glanced at the immediately stunned Boss and sneered, “This supermarket belongs to Young Master now, right?”
“Ah, yes, yes, it’s all yours,” the Boss said, his hands trembling with excitement. It was really fifty million! This guy actually used fifty million to buy the place.
The surrounding crowd was also in an uproar. Holy shit, it was real! This guy said he’d give fifty million, and he wasn’t just showing off—he was genuinely rich!
Tang Chen grunted again and said, “The supermarket will continue normal operations today. I’ll send someone here tonight to take over. You just follow whatever my people say then. Oh, and one more thing.” He paused, then pointed at the cashier from earlier and said coldly, “Kick that little bitch out for Young Master. How dare she look down on Young Master just because she thought Young Master couldn’t afford a measly supermarket? Young Master doesn’t want to see someone like her here anymore.”
“Yes, yes! Get lost already!” Money makes the man. Since Tang Chen was so rich, the Boss naturally wanted to suck up to him in every way possible. Kicking out one employee was nothing—the supermarket was his now. If he wanted to burn it down, the Boss wouldn’t even complain.
The cashier girl bit her lower lip, shot a resentful glare at Tang Chen, and then ran out crying.
“Alright, that’s it for now. Let’s go.” After buying one supermarket, there were still nine more to go. So Tang Chen had no intention of sticking around. He directly took Chen Laosan and the others to the next one.
The Boss hugged his mobile phone and chuckled gleefully. Fifty million! How long would he have to run this damn supermarket to earn fifty million? As for the main store, they could go to hell.
Over the next two hours, Tang Chen took Chen Laosan and the others to raid the remaining nine large supermarkets in the city. The final result was, of course, Tang Chen using his absolute wealth to buy all the supermarkets.
And He Ping and the others realized that Young Master Tang was not only skilled at fighting but also incredibly rich. He casually offered tens of millions at a time. No wonder those people gave up—who could compete with Young Master Tang?
After acquiring the final Lotus Supermarket, Tang Chen and the others were exhausted. He gave He Ping and the others five thousand each to go relax, while he waited outside with Chen Laosan for Boss Pang.
A black car stopped, and Boss Pang, dressed in a black suit, stepped out. He greeted them, saying, “Young Master Tang, Old Chen, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Tang Chen smiled nonchalantly and said, “It’s fine, Old Pang. Do you remember what I asked you on the phone today?”
Boss Pang nodded and said, “Young Master Tang, of course I remember. You asked me if I had any thoughts about opening a chain store.”
Tang Chen laughed and said, “Old Pang, I didn’t explain clearly at the time. Now Young Master can seriously tell you: Good Luck, Lotus, and the other ten large supermarkets in this city have all been acquired by Young Master. I plan to split them fifty-fifty between you and Chen Laosan for you to develop bars and hotels. What do you think?”
Boss Pang was stunned, then said excitedly, “Young Master Tang, are—are you serious? You really bought those ten supermarkets?”
Boss Pang had always been an ambitious businessman. After following Tang Chen, he had been thinking about whether he could expand the hotel’s scale or something.
He had long wanted to try something like a chain store. But recently, he had been busy with the New Junyue matters, and on top of that, there were no good locations. Hearing Tang Chen’s words now, how could he not be excited?
Tang Chen smiled faintly but didn’t confirm or deny it.
Chen Laosan walked over and patted Boss Pang’s shoulder, smiling as he said, “Old Pang, I had the same reaction as you when I first learned about Young Master’s decision.”
Boss Pang laughed heartily, then clasped his hands and said to Tang Chen, “Young Master Tang, don’t worry. I will work hard and won’t let you down.”
Tang Chen grunted and said seriously, “Old Pang, Chen Laosan, how to distribute these ten hotels is up to you. Old Pang, especially you—you’re already overseeing the construction site and now also handling the chain stores. You’ve got a lot on your plate.”
Boss Pang, feeling incredibly honored, said, “Young Master Tang, please don’t say that. This is your trust in me. I will definitely not disappoint you.”
Tang Chen had always trusted Boss Pang and Chen Laosan to handle things, so he didn’t give many additional instructions before leaving the front of the Lotus Supermarket.
Driving his Extravagant Battle Car, Tang Chen prepared to go home. He said to the System in his mind, “System, I’ve completed the mission. Shouldn’t you give me the random draw reward now?”
System: “Respected Host, although your praise for this System in the supermarket wasn’t particularly sincere, the mission was after all completed. I will definitely give you the reward.”
Tang Chen’s face darkened, and he cursed angrily, “You fucking dare bring that up? If it weren’t for you making Young Master shout things like ‘System Oppa, I love you,’ I wouldn’t have had Chen Laosan and the others looking at me like I was an idiot.”
Every time Tang Chen recalled himself shouting that sentence loudly in the Lotus Supermarket, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. Such shame, absolute shame!
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the Beginner Task. Reward: one random draw. The wheel has appeared.”
Probably not wanting to listen to Tang Chen complain anymore, the System skipped the small talk and directly notified Tang Chen that the mission was complete. Then, the familiar big wheel appeared in Tang Chen’s mind.
“I hope I can get something better this time,” Tang Chen muttered to himself. He said “start,” and the wheel began spinning rapidly.
The pointer slowed down and finally stopped on a slot that looked like a robot. Tang Chen said, puzzled, “System, what is this? You’re not going to reward Young Master with some Transformers model, are you? Damn you, shitty System! Young Master warns you—if you really dare give me something like that, I’ll take you down with me!”
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for drawing one I Assemble I Assemble Assembly Kit. Reward issued.”
With a swish, a flash of light appeared, and a puzzle resembling those for kindergarten children materialized on Tang Chen’s lap.
Tang Chen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, “Shitty System, have you been drinking Sanlu milk powder again? Is your damn brain short-circuiting? Let me ask you—why are you giving me a puzzle? Does Young Master look like a child to you?!”
