Chapter 654

~11 min read 2,046 words

This may also be the reason why the barbecue shop on this seaside island can exist for a long time and remain packed with people; unfortunately, due to the island's renovation, access for some people is now restricted.

Ning Chen thought for a moment, took a business card from his pocket, and handed it directly to the clerk: "Talk to your boss about it. I have the idea of becoming a shareholder. After all," he smiled, speaking with implied meaning, "being a shareholder here comes with really good treatment."

The clerk's heart jumped in surprise; he took the business card with trembling hands and looked at Ning Chen more carefully and attentively.

This observation revealed that although the young man in front of him was not wearing famous brands, his taste in clothing was excellent; the expression on his face was also very different from Li Mu and others who often jumped to anger. Ning Chen's expression was mostly calm, carrying the unique coldness and authority of a superior.

Someone like this might actually have something to back them up.

Thinking this, the clerk solemnly put the business card away. Without a doubt, Ning Chen should be a thorn who was not to be trifled with but possessed a sense of justice. If he truly became a shareholder, he might really be able to sanction Li Mu.

After handling this matter, Ning Chen touched his stomach and only then realized he was now almost starving.

At this moment, he glanced into the live broadcast room and discovered that the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had already become very large; they had been commenting continuously.

Ning Chen casually glanced a few times and took several comments into his eyes.

"This is simply a satisfying novel ending! No matter what others think, I really cannot stand this kind of person; the streamer did a good job!"

"To deal with this kind of person, one must fight violence with violence. I have personal experience and have taught a few bastard teenagers who cut in line a lesson."

"It's good, but I still feel quite sad. We see such things through the live broadcast room now, but in other places we cannot see, similar things must be common, and there must be many such people."

515. Face-slapping Retaliation, Acquiring Shares

After Ning Chen communicated with the clerk, the clerk returned to the small shop, confirmed that the store manager had not left today but was stationed inside, and then told him about this matter.

The store manager was a middle-aged man; his bald head paired with those shrewd eyes made him look difficult to get along with.

The store manager reached out and took the business card from the clerk's hand; his gaze looked at the two characters "Ning Chen" on the card and he faltered for a moment.

Why did he feel like he had heard this name somewhere?

The clerk, afraid the store manager would blame him, said: "This matter was indeed unreasonable on Mr. Li's part, so I advocated for reconciliation. But Mr. Ning's temper... is somewhat fiery; he still gave Mr. Li a lesson. Mr. Li's leg is fractured, and someone is currently sending him to the hospital."

Hearing this, the store manager's eyebrows furrowed instantly. He put the business card in his pocket and looked up at the clerk: "Mr. Li is injured?"

The clerk nodded uneasily.

The store manager instantly could not sit still. Having opened his shop for so many years, his method of handling affairs was to be smooth and diplomatic, preferably offending neither side.

At present, it was still unknown who exactly this "Mr. Ning" was, but if Ning Chen were just an ordinary person boasting with exaggerated words, then this time, he would have offended Li Mu.

The store manager's eyes flashed, and he quickly stood up from the stool, asking: "Where is that Mr. Ning currently?"

"Right outside the shop."

The store manager immediately strode towards the door. At this time, many people had walked out of the shop; most of them should have gone outside to watch the spectacle.

And as soon as the store manager stepped out, he saw several people gathered outside. These people seemed to naturally love watching spectacles; although there were not many people, they still blocked the store manager's view.

The store manager's gaze circled among this group of people. Most of the guests here were strangers, after all, the seaside island welcomed different wealthy guests every day.

And the clerk had told him that Ning Chen was among these people.

The store manager hesitated for a moment, his gaze locking onto a young man in white clothes sitting under a sun umbrella.

There were at least seven or eight people on the beach, but for some reason, the store manager just had a feeling that that "Mr. Ning" was this extremely young-looking young man.

The store manager took a deep breath and immediately strode over.

At this moment, Ning Chen was just picking up orange juice to take a sip. Suddenly, he saw a pair of leather shoes intrude into his field of vision. The hand holding the cup paused for a moment, but he still finished the orange juice slowly and steadily, then collided eyes with the middle-aged man.

A flattering smile immediately piled up on the store manager's face. He was more senior than the clerk and had more experience; he could see that although the young man in front of him was not wearing any famous brands, he possessed a special temperament.

It was not the kind of restlessness found on ordinary second-generation rich kids; rather, it was like the certain big leaders and successful people he had seen before.

With just one glance, he confirmed that the young man in front of him was indeed Mr. Ning on the business card.

While the store manager was sizing up Ning Chen, Ning Chen was also sizing up the store manager. The pair of eyes on the store manager's face were the most eye-catching.

After looking a few times, Ning Chen withdrew his gaze and nodded his chin towards the person surrounded in the middle of the group: "That person was beaten by me."

The smile on the store manager's face did not change; he even nodded: "Mm, I know."

"Transfer his shares to me; I will offer five times the price." Ning Chen simply did not waste words and spoke straight to the point.

The expression on the store manager's face froze instantly.

Ning Chen tapped on the table one by one, seemingly not in a hurry to wait for an answer.

When he first saw the store manager, Ning Chen knew that person was certainly driven by profit, with shrewdness unique to honest people shining in his eyes.

Sure enough, after standing still for half a minute, the next second, a smile immediately bloomed on the store manager's face.

The flesh on his face squeezed together, and his white teeth flashed in Ning Chen's eyes. The store manager said: "Oh my... five times, five times is not impossible. It's just that our shop has been open for at least five or six years, and the monthly turnover is in the six figures."

Ning Chen was a smart man; he understood the store manager's meaning as soon as he heard it. His brow ridge sharpened: "Do you mean you think I cannot afford it?"

"Where did you get that idea!" The store manager took the two cups of orange juice he had just instructed the clerk to bring and placed them on the table, saying: "Just by looking at you, I know you are certainly no ordinary person. It's just that my family's shares are indeed a bit expensive. Although it is not a big company, the profit amount is much higher than some companies! Guaranteed you won't lose out."

After listening, Ning Chen nodded meaninglessly.

If this were the previous Ning Chen, it would have been one thing, but Ning Chen now lacked money the least. After reaching this stage, Ning Chen only lacked time and opportunity. If he wanted to find Si Shiya as soon as possible, besides needing a large amount of time, he also had to expend huge energy.

Something as small as acquiring shares would only take the time to sign a document.

So Ning Chen smiled and said: "You don't need to introduce so much to me; I am not interested in the profit amount here... I don't care about this money. Ultimately, I just want to humble some trash who are arrogant because they have a little money."

The store manager almost instantly understood what Ning Chen was talking about. His eyes drifted towards Li Mu as if by accident, and he let out a "pfft" laugh: "So that's what you mean... That person, I actually couldn't stand him for a long time. Just like you said, he does all sorts of bad things relying on his wealth. I am very happy that you are willing to replace his position."

Hearing this, Ning Chen fixed his gaze on the store manager's face. Seeing that the joy on the store manager's face did not seem fake, he picked up the orange juice on the table and took a sip: "Fine, let's do it this way. I will stay on this island for two days. I hope within these two days, you will draft the transfer contract."

The store manager nodded in agreement, after all, people with such deep pockets lacked time the most.

After that, Ning Chen asked again, "Now, do you still want me to go somewhere else for lunch?"

The store manager was stunned, then hurriedly said, "No need, no need. From today on, you are our biggest shareholder. Whatever you say goes... If you want to eat here, we'll give you a free meal."

Hearing this, Ning Chen smiled in satisfaction.

He had a meal at the small barbecue shop. He had to admit, the food here tasted quite good; no wonder so many people liked eating here.

During the meal, Li Mu had already been dragged away with a grotesque face. Ning Chen's strike just now had shown no mercy, directly kicking Li Mu's bones to pieces.

As a result, until shortly after the dishes were served, Ning Chen could still hear Li Mu's heart-wrenching screams.

... It sounded remarkably like a dog barking.

516. Found a resting spot

Ning Chen's actions were nothing short of gratifying. After Ning Chen thoroughly slapped Li Mu's face, the comments instantly flooded with the four characters "gratifying."

"Truly gratifying! I've lived half my life and never seen anyone richer than the streamer. Someone of that level still dared to brag in front of the streamer; just wait to get slapped."

"I feel this store owner is quite adaptable... Five times the price? If I were that store owner, wouldn't I be overjoyed?"

"You lost out, streamer. For this shop, where is five times needed? Three times at most."

"Want to see that person's reaction; slapping his face would be best! You can't possibly spend so much money and let him leave, that would be such a pity."

At this moment, Ning Chen glanced at the live comments and understood the audience's thoughts.

To be honest, he thought the same, only...

Ning Chen looked over at Li Mu's situation. Li Mu must have found people to take him back; a boat was stopped at the shore, and someone had specially brought a stretcher to carefully lift Li Mu onto it.

Ning Chen immediately sneered, walked over, dispersed the people nearby, stood beside Li Mu's stretcher, and looked down at Li Mu, whose face had already turned pale.

Li Mu kept gritting his teeth, as if he could no longer bear the pain. His hand hovered in the air over his broken leg bone, but the slightest touch caused agony, tearing him apart with pain.

Ning Chen raised an eyebrow, and a hint of a smile finally appeared in his expression: "Yo, looking at your expression, are you about to die from the pain?"
