Not long after, the two left the courtyard and came to a secluded path.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Seeing that Abao had stopped, Wang Qian asked with great interest.
"You probably don't want to make things worse, do you?"
Ah Bao smiled slyly and said meaningfully, "You saw it just now too. If I want to, I can turn a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing at any time."
"And then?" Wang Qian asked.
Abao frowned slightly. "Are you asking a question you already know the answer to, or do you think I'm a fool?"
"Why don't you just tell me directly?"
Wang Qian waved his hand impatiently, "I don't like beating around the bush. If you have any thoughts or anything to say, just say it directly. It will not only save you trouble, but also save everyone's time."
"Great, that's satisfying!"
Ah Bao slapped his thigh and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly."
He stared intently at Wang Qian, holding up two fingers. "This amount will help you settle this matter. If anyone dares to cause you trouble in the future, I can help you take care of it."
"How many fingers are you referring to?" Wang Qian asked casually.
When Abao said he wanted to talk to him alone, he had already roughly guessed the other party's intentions.
As it turns out, it was exactly as expected.
This fellow is pretending to stand up for Zheng Shouyi; his real intention is to take advantage of the situation.
Two hundred thousand!
Seemingly afraid that Wang Qian would refuse or immediately turn hostile, A Bao hurriedly explained, "You should also know that according to the market price of that piece of land, you would have to add at least 250,000 to buy it. Now I only want 200,000, which has already saved you 50,000. If you are smart enough, you should know how to choose."
After saying that, a smug smile appeared on his lips.
He had been planning this for a long time.
Including inviting a bunch of relatives over and promising them benefits, all in an attempt to take advantage of Wang Qian.
As for standing up for his uncle Zheng Shouyi?
That was just empty talk; if there wasn't some benefit to be gained, he wouldn't have bothered to stand up for his uncle.
"Are you done talking?"
Wang Qian remained unmoved, as if he were ignoring Wang Qian's words. "If I'm done talking, I'll go back!"
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Ah Bao panicked instantly, "You think my price is too high, right?"
Wang Qian ignored him and continued walking into the courtyard.
"Then I'll reduce it a bit more, 150,000, is that alright?" Abao caught up and said.
Wang Qian pretended not to hear.
A flash of shame and anger crossed A Bao's eyes.
But after careful consideration, he really didn't want to miss this chance to get rich overnight, so he continued to chase after him, lowering his voice and saying, "One hundred thousand, that's the bare minimum!"
"Go back to sleep, and it should come true in your dreams."
Wang Qian finally answered, but upon hearing this, A Bao was instantly enraged.
"Wang Qian, don't push your luck!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "If I wanted to, I have plenty of ways to prevent your factory from being built. I'm trying to reason with you now, so don't be ungrateful!"
"Are you threatening me?" Wang Qian turned around, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Abao instinctively took a step back.
He suddenly realized that Wang Qian's eyes were so deep they were chilling, like a demon ready to devour him alive at any moment.
But not wanting to be intimidated, he rolled his eyes a few times and said in a show of bravado, "So what if it is? I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't appreciate it at all, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Then, he pointed to a group of relatives in the yard, "If I just say a few words, all these people can annoy you to death and delay your project indefinitely, do you believe it or not?"
"Then you can give it a try!"
Wang Qian snorted and continued walking into the courtyard.
I had heard from Zhao Kang that this A Bao was a complete scoundrel, but I never expected that in addition to being a scoundrel, he would also be a little clever.
However, he found this little bit of cleverness utterly ridiculous.
Are you really not afraid at all?
Ah Bao was furious.
However, Wang Qian seemed determined and completely ignored his threats.
However, seeing that they were about to return to the courtyard, he disregarded his anger and chased after Wang Qian, whispering in his ear, "Fifty thousand. If you give me fifty thousand, I guarantee I'll help you persuade everyone so they won't bother you anymore."
He paused, then added, "Even if my uncle Zheng Shouyi changes his mind later, I can find a way to handle him and make sure you don't spend a single extra penny on the land or the factory construction. How about that?"
The piece of land that Wang Qian bought from his uncle Zheng Shouyi was worth at least 300,000 yuan.
If he only asks for 50,000, it means Wang Qian can save 200,000 without even realizing it.
As long as Wang Qian has even a shred of reason, he cannot refuse.
However,
"I'm back!"
Wang Qian did not answer him, but walked straight into the courtyard and said loudly to all of Zheng Shouyi's relatives: "Abao just told me that as long as I give him 50,000 yuan in private, he will help me persuade you and will not let you cause me any trouble. Even if Uncle Zheng goes back on his word later, he can find a way to handle it and will not make me spend a penny more."
Upon hearing this, Ah Bao, who was following behind, was almost scared to death on the spot.
Even though he's usually very thick-skinned, at this moment he just wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
Is that damn Wang Qian even a normal person?
Logically speaking, what he just said to Wang Qian should have been just a tacit understanding between the two of them, and they wouldn't have said it in front of everyone to avoid making things difficult later and to avoid embarrassment for everyone.
