Chapter 29: Too Reckless, Too Wasteful
Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
Lil Tang, Im sorry this happened to you! Its all my fault! Liu Dajun said apologetically.
He turned around and glared at the two security guards and the crowd of sales clerks.
You all performed splendidly! You dare to embarrass me in front of my little brother Liu Dajun laughed sarcastically.
The security guards and sales clerks trembled. All of them lowered their heads and did not say anything.
They only felt that they walked into a trap!
The kid had dressed shabbily and said that he was a delivery boy. No one would have guessed that he was the sworn little brother of their company president.
They also could not understand how this poor village kid got to be acquainted with their company president, even intimate enough to be sworn brothers. They would rather believe in ghosts before they believed that tall tale.
We didnt know that he was your little brother, President Liu! One of the sales clerks complained.
So its fine to mistreat someone just because you didnt know? Liu Dajuns eyes were bulging. Even if he isnt my little brother, hes still a potential customer! Who trained you to behave that way?
We didnt think he looked like a customer, so the sales clerk stammered.
He didnt look like a customer? So how should a customer look like, then? Let me tell all of you. Anyone that walks through those doors is our customer. Even if he cannot afford it now, that doesnt mean he will never be able to afford this. You all are tarnishing the image of the company !
The sales clerk pursed her lips as though she had been wronged.
She was about to explain herself again when Liu Dajun interjected. You, shut up! You dont have to come to work tomorrow! You did something wrong and dont know how to reflect on your mistakes. Whats the use of keeping you here then?
The sales clerks face immediately became a ghastly pallor.
The other sales clerks trembled and did not dare to say a word.
As for you bunch, and you two as well. Your allowances and bonuses this month are all withdrawn. You had better reflect on this incident as well. If something like this happens again, you can kiss your jobs goodbye.
Yes, President Liu! The sales clerks lowered their heads and replied urgently.
Now, apologize to my little brother! Liu Dajun demanded.
I am sorry, Mr. Tang! All of them walked in front of Tang Hao and bowed to him.
What do you say, Lil Tang? Liu Dajun asked.
Its fine. Im not too bothered! Tang Hao replied nonchalantly.
Now thats settled. You all, youd better be more diligent at your posts! Now go back to work! Liu Dajun waved toward them.
The two security guards ran away like they were escaping from something.
The sales ladies also turned around and walked toward a corner of the foyer.
Lil Tang, this is all my fault. This wouldnt have happened if I were here just a little earlier, Liu Dajun said apologetically.
Its fine, Big Bro Liu! Here, this is for you.
Tang Hao opened his backpack and retrieved a bag from within. There were seven bottles inside: Five bottles of weight-loss tea and two bottles of aphrodisiac potion.
Liu Dajuns eyes sparkled as if he had found treasure.
This is the good stuff! After the five bottles, Ill be young again. Thank you so much, Lil Tang. Ill transfer the ninety thousand yuan to your account soon.
Alright! Tang Hao replied.
The sales clerks standing at one side were trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.
All of them were shocked when they heard that the few bottles he took out from his backpack were worth ninety thousand yuan. They could not believe their ears.
Those few measly bottles were worth ninety thousand yuan? Whats actually inside those bottles?
Right, Ive also heard from Elder Ma the incident yesterday. I didnt expect that youre an expert in antiques appraisal too! Earning eight million yuan in a day just like that, Liu Dajun continued.
The sales clerks eyes bulged when they heard that.
Eight eight million? Oh my god! He earned eight million yuan in one day? One of the sales clerks swallowed with some difficulty.
What does this kid actually do? Isnt he just a delivery boy?
Why is he still delivering packages if hes so rich?
All the sales clerks looked at him differently. They were all burning with regret.
Now that they took a closer look at the boy, he was not only rich but also handsome. More importantly, he was sworn brothers with President Liu. He could have been the perfect boyfriend.
Ma Fangfang was shocked. Her eyes sparkled when she looked at Tang Hao, but they turned dull once again soon after.
Her heart was full of regret.
Its just a fluke! Tang Hao laughed and waved his hands.
What fluke? Ive heard it all from Elder Ma. Dont be so humble! Liu Dajun said candidly.
After that, he turned to look at the string of blood jade beads that Tang Hao wore on his right wrist.
His eyes sparkled as he exclaimed. This is so beautiful. Thousand-year blood jade lives up to its name! Ive heard from Elder Ma that its worth one or two hundred million yuan? And yet you dare to wear it in public?
Liu Dajun looked at the string of beads with admiration and envy.
Its fine. Normal people wont understand, Tang Hao joked.
Thats true. Who would have expected someone wearing something worth one or two hundred million yuan roaming on the streets! Liu Dajun roared with laughter.
The sales clerks were all already petrified. Their faces were frozen with shock.
Oh my god! That jade was genuine? And its worth one or two hundred million?
They felt a little faint.
One hundred million was an astronomical number.
All of them felt ashamed of themselves.
However, they were not totally to blame! Who would have expected a plain-looking kid dressed shabbily would be wearing an exceedingly rare piece of jade on his wrist?
That was too reckless and wasteful!
They took a closer look at the string of blood jade beads. The light it reflected had made them a little dizzy. They even felt their heart beating a little faster.
Thats so beautiful. Hey, Lil Tang, are you selling that?
Im not selling it. I think it looks good on me.
Thats true. Let me know whenever you want to sell it. I know several rich tycoons who can afford it. Liu Dajun said a little disappointedly. Right, since youre already here, how about we go look at some properties? Youd better move out of the mountain soon.
I was thinking of the same thing too. Thats why I was looking around.
Why didnt you say that earlier? Come here, Lil Tang, what do you think of these mansions? Disregard their price tags for now. Theyre absolutely worth it. Liu Dajun dragged Tang Hao around enthusiastically.
I I dont have that much money in my account! Tang Hao hesitated.
Eh! Why do you worry! Dont you have your Big Bro Liu here? Ill give you a discount. If its still not enough, Ill pay the rest. Just pick one that you like and we can proceed with the paperwork. You can move in after two days, Liu Dajun told Tang Hao as he pointed at one of the model buildings.
After that, Liu Dajun dragged Tang Hao outside hastily. He seemed to be more anxious than Tang Hao.
