After the man finished speaking, he turned and left.
Lisa looked at Chen Ze and explained, "Mr. Chen, please don't pay any attention to my cousin. He's a complete hoodlum now."
Lisa's cousin is named Curry. He's a complete gambler. His father died early, and no one in the family can control him.
Curry not only gambled away all of his family's money, but he also sold off his family's assets, getting tens of millions of dollars, which he then threw all at the Las Vegas gambling tables.
After hearing this, Chen Ze simply nodded slightly, clearly not taking Curry seriously.
Seeing this, Lisa continued, "Curry is broke now, so he's always thinking about how to take advantage of our family. My dad kindly offered him a job at the company, but he wouldn't listen at all. All he does is laze around and be lazy. So this kind of person doesn't deserve any sympathy."
However, just as Lisa was speaking, Curry suddenly turned back, his face full of fawning smiles, but his eyes revealed an undisguised greed.
"Lisa, please lend me some money for a while, for the sake of our cousin relationship. I promise I'll pay you back soon!" Curry said, rubbing his hands together, looking very eager.
Lisa frowned, her tone turning cold: "Curry, I will never give you money to gamble again. Forget about it. If you're so capable, find a way to earn money yourself."
Curry's expression changed, and he pointed at Lisa's nose, saying fiercely, "Lisa, do you have enough money to spend? Why can't you lend your brother some?" He acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Chen Ze stood aside, frowned, stepped forward to block Lisa, and warned, "If Miss Lisa doesn't want to lend you money, don't force her."
Lisa's gaze fell on Chen Ze's tall figure. He stood before her like a mountain, giving her an unprecedented sense of security.
However, Curry's attitude stands in stark contrast to Lisa's feelings.
Curry looked at Chen Ze with disdain and said sarcastically without any attempt to hide his sneer, "Who do you think you are? Mind your own business and get the hell out of here!"
Faced with Curry's provocation, Chen Ze sneered, "I'm here to deal with this today. If you keep bothering Lisa, don't blame me for being impolite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several burly bodyguards quickly surrounded him, their sharp eyes fixed on Curry.
Curry was intimidated by the bodyguards' imposing manner. He knew very well that, given his current situation, he was unlikely to gain any advantage.
So, he could only curse Chen Ze under his breath and slink away.
As Curry reached the door, he suddenly stopped. He pointed a vicious finger at Chen Ze and said menacingly, "Kid, you just wait, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!"
After saying that, he swaggered away, feeling resentful.
Watching Curry's departing figure, Lisa finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around with a grateful smile on her face, "Mr. Chen, thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't appeared in time."
Chen Ze waved his hand, "Don't mention it, Miss Lisa, it's just a small favor. Besides, you've helped my company a lot lately, so it's only right that I help you."
At this moment, the fat man walked over and handed a transfer agreement to Lisa. "Miss Lisa, I'm buying your two supermarkets in Mora City for the agreed price of five million US dollars. I've already transferred the money to you. Please sign the agreement."
Lisa took the contract, looked at it carefully, and signed her name after confirming that everything was correct.
She smiled and handed the contract back to the fat man, saying, "It was a pleasure working with you. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
“Yes, Miss Lisa.” The fat man smiled happily as he took the contract.
After signing sales contracts with several other people, Lisa left satisfied.
Chen Ze escorted her to the hotel entrance, and the two said goodbye with smiles. Then, Chen Ze personally watched Lisa get into the car.
A burly Black soldier strode over to the car and gently closed the door for Lisa.
Lisa sat in the car, smiling as she rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Chen Ze. Her smile was as bright as the sun, which made Chen Ze smile as well.
Chen Ze waved politely to her, watching Lisa's car slowly start and gradually drive away.
He stood at the hotel entrance, silently watching Lisa's convoy disappear into the dusty streets of Mora.
By this time, the sun had already set, and the evening sunlight, like a golden veil, gently covered every corner of this African city, making its outline even clearer.
Chen Ze turned around and went back to the hotel's private room.
Inside the private room, the fat man was sitting on the sofa with a thick stack of documents in his hand. When he saw Chen Ze return, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a big smile.
"Aze, you're finally back!"
The fat man exclaimed excitedly, "I have great news for you! Those two supermarkets under Miss Lisa's name are now mine! And the prices are 15% lower than we expected, which is such a great deal!"
Chen Ze smiled and nodded, "Yeah, you got lucky and ran into someone selling off their stock."
The fat man grinned, revealing two big white teeth. "That's all because you're so charming! I think Miss Lisa's gaze towards you is quite unusual, hehe, I think you're having a lucky streak with ladies this time!"
"Get lost! You should be thinking about how to run the supermarket properly," Chen Ze said irritably.
After finishing his meal, Chen Ze bid farewell to the members of the Guangfu business community and then left the hotel with his secretary and bodyguards.
In the car, Chen Ze instructed, "Uncle De, drive back to the farm."
"Yes, boss."
Old Tian, sitting in the passenger seat, spoke up.
"Boss, I just received news that things have been unsettled in Mora City lately. Last week, two caravans were robbed there, and the caravan owners and their employees were all killed."
Upon hearing this news, Chen Ze frowned slightly. He knew that apart from the capital Yaoundé, where the security situation was relatively good, the security situation in other parts of McCain was truly a complete mess.
Chen Ze thought for a moment,
He said, "Old Tian, tomorrow you take a hundred men and distribute them evenly among the Guangfu merchants to protect their personal safety."
“Protect them at the highest level.”
Chen Ze handed the photo of Curry that he had secretly taken to Lao Tian, "Also, send someone to secretly investigate Curry, Lisa's cousin. His gaze today made me uncomfortable. If you find any evidence of his crimes, it would be best to send him to jail."
“Okay, boss,” Lao Tian replied.
