Chapter 121 I Want to Become Sworn Brothers with You
Gu Bai sized up the young man. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen such a handsome man.
Zhang Qingguan was handsome, but compared to the person in front of him, he was still slightly inferior.
They're not in the same league.
She could rival the naked White Bone Demon.
The young man's lips twitched; his calm and composed demeanor could no longer be maintained.
"Mr. Gu, my subordinate was rude this time and accidentally injured your person. I apologize on his behalf."
The young man's voice was magnetic and his tone was soft: "Please, Mr. Gu, be lenient. My Zhuge family is willing to befriend you."
"Friend? You too—wait, the Zhuge family?" Gu Bai looked at the young man with surprise and suspicion.
Is it another surnamed Zhuge?
The young man smiled and said, "My name is Zhuge Xingyun, and this is my cousin, Liu Sheng. It was all a misunderstanding. I hope Mr. Gu will give me some face."
"Misunderstanding?" Gu Bai smiled. "I have long admired the Zhuge family, but I have never met them before. It is my great honor, but this is just a small business of mine."
Zhuge Xingyun glanced at Yang Xi and Liu Sheng, whose faces were grim. Even though they were unwilling, they still untied them.
"How about a 20% discount?" Gu Bai asked.
"President Gu, you only have superficial injuries, we are willing to apologize." Zhuge Xingyun still had a smile on his face, even though he was gritting his teeth in anger.
They attacked the security guards to vent their anger from last night, but they also hurt Gu Xiaojiao, which was collateral damage. He's not a bad person, and he won't renege on his debts.
Gu Bai hesitated for a moment, then said, "One million, that's the lowest I can go. Art is priceless, and we artists have our pride."
"He's not an artist, he's just a salesman," Liu Sheng couldn't help but say. "If you're still not satisfied, I'll have him hit you back."
Gu Bai said, "His main job is sales, and he's an artist on the side."
"you----"
"Uncle Liu," Zhuge Xingyun raised his hand, "Then it's one million. Thank you, President Gu."
Liu Sheng reluctantly transferred the money.
Gu Bai smiled and said, "The police can vouch for this. This compensation was offered voluntarily by them. Don't come back and accuse me of extortion."
Gu Qingyi nodded and said, "I will be your witness."
Yang Xi and Yanran echoed, "Since both sides agree, let's settle this. Let's go."
"If you like art, you can contact me." Gu Bai smiled, got up and left.
Zhuge Xingyun looked at the breakfast on the table and lost all appetite.
A meal cost a million, and I was so angry I was full.
"Young Master Yun, are you really just going to give it to me like this?" Liu Sheng was furious.
Although I don't lack a million, the thought of giving it away like that still makes me feel really upset.
Zhuge Xingyun said calmly, "What else? It was just to teach them a lesson; we can't really break off relations."
"I'm just furious; they're all in cahoots," Liu Sheng said.
"I know, but once we're in this line of work, we can't just attack ordinary people for no reason. They weren't really involved; they just made a phone call saying Yang Xi was beaten up, and you beat them up."
Zhuge Xingyun rubbed his temples: "He's not a law enforcement officer, he's not in the right."
"I never expected that he would call his own boss instead of the police."
Liu Sheng gritted his teeth.
If it were a matter of law enforcement, then their fight would be seen as a friendly exchange, a case of being outmatched and wanting to beat up all the law enforcement officers from Jiangcheng.
The beginning was good, but the ending was bad.
Inside the hotel.
"It's hilarious! Look at their deadpan faces. They're from Wu'an, Sichuan Province, and they're just temporary workers."
Yanran lit a cigarette for Gu Xiaojiao: "You were wronged by that beating, but I'll protect you from now on."
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect that person to be so strong. Even Yang Xi's security team is no match for him," Gu Xiaojiao said.
Gu Qingyi looked at Yang Xi with concern: "Are you alright?"
"It's just a superficial injury." Yang Xi waved his hand. "He's obviously retaliating against us. Guo Jin said someone called yesterday, claiming to be a relative of Zhuge Buliang, and wanted to file a complaint. Guo Jin used the excuse of the temporary workers in Jiangcheng to shut him up. It must be them."
"Zhuge Buliang's family?" Gu Bai asked in surprise. "Isn't that Qin Dayou? Is this his unfilial son?"
"No, it's the real Zhuge Buliang, but whether they are actually relatives remains to be verified."
Yang Xi said, "Ever since Zhuge Buliang died, a bunch of people have come forward claiming to be his family members. Some are named Zhuge Ming, some are named Zhuge Guang, and there's a whole bunch of them. They want Zhuge Buliang's belongings."
"Zhuge Liang's relics? Could it be some kind of treasure?" Gu Bai asked.
"We don't know what the belongings are either. The two elderly people at the welfare home and Qin Dayou know, because they once searched for their relatives and should have talked to these people about it," Yang Xi said.
Gu Bai nodded: "It's their family matter, they should handle it themselves. They're quite reasonable, otherwise they wouldn't have paid compensation, and we would have all gotten a beating."
"You underestimate us too much." Yanran rolled her eyes at him. "Can't we just fight back?"
"You didn't take direct action, isn't that enough to explain the problem?" Gu Bai said irritably.
That would require being able to defeat him. Zhuge Xingyun harbored a kindred spirit within him that was no weaker than the old turtle; he had already sensed it long ago.
Since Yanran and the Bodhisattva couldn't discern the true extent of the situation, they naturally dared not make a move rashly.
The Bodhisattva revealed: "Zhuge Xingyun possesses a similar aura within him, indicating his considerable strength."
"We'd better be careful. We just asked him for a million; we don't want to get trapped," Gu Bai said.
Gu Xiaojiao said, "Brother Bai, I'll transfer the money to you."
"Keep your medical expenses yourself," Gu Bai said, waving his hand.
"I never imagined you were so rich now. Gu Xiaojiao is amazing too, he's a top salesperson, making 480,000 a day?" Gu Qingyi looked at him with shining eyes.
Yanran's eyes lit up as well: "A new batch of Qi and Blood Pills is arriving, Mr. Gu, Boss Gu, don't forget your good friends."
"Didn't we run out of Qi and Blood Pills?" Gu Bai asked, puzzled.
"The eggs aren't all in the same cage. Besides, other factories also have mycelium. We can send some over and continue production," Yanran said. "I heard that the Qi and Blood Pills have improved in effect and are of better quality."
The mycelium obtained at that time was not just used to start a factory, but also to source from other places.
"No problem, buy more," Gu Bai said.
"Mr. Gu, you're so generous. Please have a seat. Let me massage your legs," Yanran said considerately.
"Promising," the Bodhisattva scoffed.
"You good-for-nothing little devil." Yang Xi scoffed, then quickly changed the subject: "President Gu, are you hiring part-time staff? I think I can compete for the top sales position."
Gu Xiaojiao coughed lightly: "Um, let's put the 'top salesperson' question aside for now. Can I buy Qi and Blood Pills?"
"No problem, I'll buy them for you. Just give me a few," Yanran and Pusa said at the same time.
"Thank you very much." Gu Xiaojiao said happily, looking at Gu Bai: "Brother Bai, can you give me Qin Dayou's number? I like making friends with old brothers the most."
"What do you want to do?" Gu Bai asked curiously, this kid was definitely up to no good.
"Caring for the elderly." Gu Xiaojiao said seriously, "I definitely won't scam him, so you can rest assured. I'm just worried that he's not doing well in Jiangcheng. As a local, I have a few friends who go to take care of him."
Yang Xi replied, "Sure, sometimes I can't spare the time to visit him when he's in trouble."
Gu Bai recommended his friend to him.
"I'm going to rest." Gu Xiaojiao took his phone, walked out of the room, and added a friend: "I'm Gu Xiaojiao, I'd like to become sworn brothers with you."
