Chapter 7639
Following Xiao Chen is the Right Thing
Zhang Ziren was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, his eyes slightly reddening, and said firmly, "Mr. Xiao, thank you! From today onwards, you are my benefactor!"
From now on, no matter what you need, just say the word, and I, Zhang Ziren, will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!
Xiao Chen waved his hand, his tone calm: "Focus on recovering and don't think too much. Once you're healed, reopening the antique shop is more important than anything else."
Beside him, Master Wan and Su Daqiang had been standing there respectfully, not daring to breathe, until now, when they relaxed a little and looked at Xiao Chen with awe in their eyes.
Xiao Chen turned to look at them, his tone carrying a hint of approval: "You handled Huang Buji's matter well, cleanly and efficiently, and did not disappoint me."
Su Daqiang quickly stepped forward, a simple and honest smile on his face, and said respectfully, "I will do my best to complete the task assigned by Mr. Xiao!"
Although that guy surnamed Huang has some influence in the west of the city, with a few henchmen and the audacity to act arrogantly, compared to Master Wan, he's nothing but an insignificant caterpillar, not worth mentioning. Dealing with him is a piece of cake!
Wan Baye, standing to the side, quickly waved his hand and said modestly, "Brother Su, you're too kind."
"My current position is entirely due to the support of my brothers. Moreover, the smooth resolution of the Huang family matter this time was mainly due to Mr. Xiao's influence; otherwise, Huang Dahai wouldn't have dared to resist in the slightest. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Xiao Chen didn't dwell on the polite words. He put down his teacup, took out two bank cards from his pocket, placed them on the table, and gently pushed one of them in front of Su Daqiang.
"Here's 50,000 yuan, take it."
Su Daqiang was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand, his face somewhat flustered, his tone sincere:
"Mr. Xiao, this is unacceptable!"
It's my duty to do things for you, how could I possibly take your money?
I am already very grateful that you trust me to do this; I absolutely cannot accept any further reward from you!
"Take it." Xiao Chen's tone left no room for refusal, his eyes firm. "You deserve a reward for doing a good job. This is what you deserve, don't be shy."
Su Daqiang hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Master Wan, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Master Wan nodded slightly to him, indicating that he should accept it...
Refusing Mr. Xiao's reward would only displease him.
Su Daqiang then took the bank card with both hands, his eyes slightly red, and his tone was extremely firm: "Mr. Xiao, I, Su Daqiang, am a rough man. I don't know how to say nice things, nor do I understand any social etiquette."
But I know that I will definitely repay you for your kindness!
"From now on, if you need anything, just give the order. I, Su Daqiang, will go through fire and water without flinching or backing down!"
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, said nothing more, picked up another card, and looked at Master Wan.
"Eighteen thousand."
Master Wan immediately sat up straight, his expression respectful, and his tone solemn: "Mr. Xiao, I'm here."
Xiao Chen looked at him, her tone calm but with a hint of solemnity: "You helped me with the Huang family's affairs. I will remember this favor."
Master Wan quickly replied, "Mr. Xiao, you flatter me. This is all I should do. It is my honor to serve you, Mr. Xiao. How could I possibly expect you to remember it?"
Xiao Chen shook his head, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty. He paused, then slowly said, "I, Xiao Chen, am not an ungrateful person. You help me, and I will not treat you unfairly. In the future... your rise to prominence will be just around the corner."
Master Wan was jolted, as if struck by lightning. He stood frozen in place, his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief.
It seemed like Xiao Chen was just saying it casually, but Master Wan knew it was more reliable than any other oath, because this Mr. Xiao really had the ability.
If you casually slip a little benefit into his fingernail, he'll be overjoyed.
"Pfft!"
Mr. Wan knelt on the ground excitedly: "Mr. Xiao, from now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west; if you tell me to go south, I will never go north. I will follow you forever." He had followed many people in his life, but Xiao Chen was the first one who was so capable and kept his word.
Xiao Chen didn't treat him as a tool that could be discarded at will, but as a true subordinate.
that's enough.
"Get up! Don't kneel down all the time. If someone takes a picture, they'll say I'm abusing the elderly. Get up right now!"
Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly.
Wan Ba quickly got up, his eyes reddening.
Xiao Chen was speechless. This guy was a seasoned veteran, was it really necessary?
Of course, he didn't know that Wan Ba had been in the underworld for so many years and had seen so much deceit and treachery that sometimes even his own family and friends would be betrayed.
When he followed others, he was always on edge, afraid that he might be tricked by his master if he wasn't careful.
But with Xiao Chen, he didn't feel that feeling at all.
Years of experience told him that as long as he did his job well for Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen could handle any problem for him, no matter how big it was.
Of course, there is one point.
Xiao Chen dislikes bullying others and even more so, he dislikes taking advantage of the weak. If someone does such a thing, Xiao Chen will not give them a pleasant look.
Su Daqiang stood aside, watching Wan Baye's excited expression, and was also deeply moved.
He had been following Master Wan for several years, and had never seen anyone who could make Master Wan truly submit.
Some people may be very strong and can suppress Master Wan and make him bow his head, but they can never make Master Wan truly submit.
That would be Xiao Chen.
Amazing!
After seeing Wan Ba and Su Daqiang off, Xiao Chen returned to the ward. Just as he sat down, Zhang Ziren's phone rang.
The screen displayed Jiang Youwei's phone number.
Zhang Ziren answered the phone and remained unsettled for a long time.
"What did he say?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
He found it strange that Jiang Youwei would call Zhang Ziren at this time; it couldn't possibly be just to catch up.
Zhang Ziren said excitedly, "He transferred the antique shop to me, saying he wouldn't get involved anymore, and he didn't want a single penny. He just asked me to plead with you to let the father and daughter go."
Xiao Chen nodded, thinking it was something serious. Isn't this just the usual thing to do?
Jiang Youwei guessed that he was really scared, fearing that if Xiao Chen's revenge continued, he would not even have a chance to live.
This time, handing over the antique shop directly to Zhang Ziren can be seen as a way of retreating to advance.
“You’re easily swayed by small favors from others. This antique shop was originally yours; the little money he invested has long been squandered by him and his daughter.”
"Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I will absolutely not be soft-hearted again. After what has happened, if I still don't wake up, then I truly deserve to be crippled." Zhang Ziren nodded and said very seriously. (End of this chapter)
