Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 242 No destruction, no establishment

Nanchun was amused when he heard this: "Boss Zhang, that's really interesting. He even has to be picky about the money. Sorry, the contract doesn't say that the compensation has to be paid in US dollars. Besides, the deposit you gave us was paid in silver dollars."

Zhang Tao knew his complaint was unreasonable, so he stopped talking and called a few people over to start counting the money.

The deposit plus compensation totaled six thousand one hundred yuan, not a penny less.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for signing the receipt." Xu Shuisheng said with a smile.

"With so many people watching, how can I cheat with you?" Zhang Tao's face looked unhappy.

"Isn't it good to do things according to the rules? We should sort out each one clearly to avoid disputes in the future." said Uncle Han Wu.

Zhang Tao's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Yes, yes, that's what Master Wu said."

After saying that, he signed his name and pressed his fingerprints.

Master Han Wu looked at Nanchun and said, "I heard that you have offended those foreign merchants, and they are going to unite to deal with you. This step is too reckless."

Nan Chun smiled and said, "Fifth Master, there is no construction without destruction. Our company has suffered from unscrupulous merchants for a long time. We have always been tolerant of them based on the principle of peace. But now, we can no longer tolerate them."

"What will you do if they really join forces?" asked Mr. Han Wu.

"Throw yourself into a desperate situation and you will survive; put yourself in a life-threatening situation and you will live." Nan Chun said with a smile. [Note 1]

Master Han Wu was slightly shocked. He was so young but had such courage, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Nan Chun thought to himself: "I've already experienced death, so why should I be afraid of failing in business and ruining the family business? If this thing succeeds, the Bai family business might be able to transform itself in the future. Once the owner sees that this legitimate business is more reliable and profitable, he might no longer be concerned about the treasures underground."

If it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. This business isn't mine anyway! And part of the Bai family's fortune is ill-gotten gains from tomb robbing. So what if it fails? It might as well be a way to piss off the head of the family, the one who started it all.

"Thank you, Fifth Master, for being a witness today. It was my fault for using you as a shield yesterday. I hope you will forgive my mistake." Nanchun saluted respectfully.

Master Han Wu laughed. "You are quite honest. Come on, you are not making up stories or speaking nonsense. You are just telling the truth."

You Qi and Zhang Tao felt a pang of anxiety, as this was obviously aimed at them.

Xu Shuisheng was surprised and happy at this moment.

When she saw Mr. Han Wu there, she thought that Mr. Han Wu had a close relationship with Zhang Tao, and the Second Young Lady was afraid that she would suffer a loss.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Han Wu was quite fair and did not favor Zhang Tao.

"I won't delay your meal, Fifth Master." Nanchun said and was about to leave.

Uncle Han Wu stopped him and said, "Let's go out together. Even a country bumpkin like me can't get used to this."

Zhang Tao and You Qi were embarrassed and at a loss at this moment.

Finally, Han Wuye and his group went out with Nanchun and the others. During the period, Han Wuye asked Nanchun a few questions from time to time, with a pleasant look on his face.

Many people in the restaurant saw it.

Seeing that Master Han Wu was about to leave, Zhang Tao said anxiously, "Master Wu, if there's anything I've done wrong, please point it out and I'll definitely correct it."

Master Han Wu glanced at him and said calmly, "Isn't he Han Wu just a bandit leader who crawled out of the mountains? With good luck and the help of noble people, he has risen to heaven."

Zhang Tao's face was as pale as paper.

This is what he said when he was eating and drinking with others some time ago.

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and he immediately explained that this Han Wu was not Master Han Wu, but a distant relative of his, and Wu meant martial arts.

"No... Fifth Master, how dare I say that to you. I'm talking about... a distant relative of mine." Zhang Tao explained tremblingly.

Master Han Wu looked at him, smiled and said nothing.

He turned to the driver and said, "Let's go back and ask the chef to make me a bowl of noodle soup. I'm not full and I'm feeling nauseous right now."

Looking at the car going away, Zhang Tao sat down on the ground.

At this moment, You Qi was so angry that he was fuming!

He had thought that since he had received such a benefit from Zhang Tao, he should flatter him in front of Wu Ye. Moreover, he had long disliked the man who sold his harem, so he thought he would take this opportunity to punish him.

Who knew that Zhang Tao said one thing and did another.

Fifth Master helped him so much, yet he actually dared to go against his will!

"Fifth Master, I didn't know him well enough to believe his lies..."

Master Han Wu snorted coldly, "How can you say you can't judge people? You're clearly a person who is willing to take advantage of others and beg for mercy!"

You Qi's face turned pale and he quickly admitted his mistake.

"I know I'm wrong, and I'll accept any punishment you give me."

Master Han Wu said calmly, "Zhang Tao is a dog that can never be tamed. No, he's clearly a dog, but in his heart he thinks he's a wolf, the wolf king. Since he despises me, the bandit leader, there's no need to help him anymore."

"Yes, yes, I understand." You Qi agreed hurriedly.

Without Wu Ye's help, Zhang Tao is finished.

Xu Fei saw Zhang Tao's lost look through the car window and couldn't help laughing.

"Second Young Madam, you are truly amazing! Someone has finally helped you vent your anger."

Seeing this, Xu Shuisheng couldn't help but ask, "Second Young Madam, what's going on? Why would Fifth Master Han speak for you?"

Nanchun was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Yesterday I came here to negotiate with Zhang Tao about not being able to give him the wine as scheduled. He can refuse, but this is a breach of contract on our part, and we are wrong.

Who would have thought he would insult me ​​with such rude words, and even mock me for not knowing how to use a knife and fork. I couldn't stand it, and immediately said that Boss Zhang's restaurant was amazing, and that they had all the delicious food that even Mr. Han Wu couldn't eat.

When Xu Fei heard that the Second Young Lady was upset, he became furious. "Boss Zhang deserves it! If we don't want to negotiate, then don't negotiate. Why bother with such hurtful words?"

Xu Shuisheng said, "Zhang still thinks he's the son of an official! Alas, there are so many people like him nowadays who are so arrogant!"

"But Master Han Wu didn't blame me. Instead, he spoke up for me, which surprised me." Nan Chun said.

Xu Shuisheng said, "I've met Master Han Wu a few times before, following the eldest young master. He's very trustworthy in business, but also very protective of his people. Today, he didn't stand on Zhang Tao's side, but instead spoke up for you. I think Zhang Tao must have done something to upset him."

Nanchun grinned. "We're so lucky! Let's celebrate! When we get back, give each of us five dollars as a reward. I'll pay for it."

"Second Young Madam, you just put in 6,100 yuan..." Xu Shuisheng said worriedly.

Nanchun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can afford it! Are you not happy about giving you money?"

Xu Fei bared his teeth and said, "Happy! Happy!"

Nanchun did this because he was truly happy. He also wanted to boost morale and let his men know that he would not treat them unfairly, even in difficult times. He hoped that everyone could work together to overcome the difficulties.
