Chapter 926

Then,

Try it and die?

"Who says otherwise?"

Xiao Paimeng nodded in agreement.

But soon she put the matter out of her mind,

and began boasting about today's achievements.

"Hehe, Boss Cong, today we made over four hundred thousand Mora selling carrots!

And we signed an agreement with the Tenshukaku—we'll deliver a shipment every so often from now on!

Little Paimeng here is finally going to become rich!"

Thinking of today's results, Xiao Paimeng was utterly delighted.

This was different from just watching shows before,

she had truly worked her butt off this time!

"Good, good—you're still quite capable in this area!"

Han Feng clapped his hands twice, then smiled warmly.

"But do you still remember the four favors you owe me?"

"Of course I do, Boss Cong—you… what do you want to do?"

Seeing Han Feng's smile, Xiao Paimeng instinctively felt something was off.

Every time Boss Cong wore that expression, someone was bound to get screwed.

"What do you think?"

Han Feng ruffled Xiao Paimeng's cheeks and grinned.

During negotiations, the most skillful method for the dominant side is not to state demands outright,

but to kick the ball back to the other party.

This forces them, due to anxiety and speculation, to continually lower their demands or raise their costs.

You only need to retain the final right to approve or reject.

Like when you go for a job interview and HR asks how much salary you want.

You were originally confident, demanding ten thousand Mora per month.

But then you see so many other candidates around,

and notice HR's blank, even slightly annoyed expression,

under these circumstances,

if you're desperate for the job, you're very likely to lower your salary demand.

Xiao Paimeng now felt exactly this way.

Never mind that she wasn't the type to break her word.

Just from Boss Cong's side, she dared not default.

She'd barely managed to cling to him through Ying, enjoying free meals and drinks here every day.

If she left the manga shop over this, she'd have nowhere to cry.

Still, she wanted to fight a little more…

"Boss Cong, my share is two hundred twenty thousand Mora—how about I give you half?"

Han Feng smiled but said nothing, continuing to ruffle her cheeks.

"What if I give you two hundred thousand Mora? The rest as my hard work fee?"

Xiao Paimeng tried again.

But seeing Han Feng still smiling warmly, Xiao Paimeng knew she couldn't escape!

She'd have to bleed a little—this was going to be hard to get through.

"Boss Cong, from now on, I'll split every penny I make with you!"

Xiao Paimeng gritted her teeth and made a painful decision.

If it were just street vending, it might still be uncertain,

since daily sales were unstable.

But now that she'd signed a contract with the Tenshukaku,

she'd have to deliver large batches of carrots at regular intervals.

That was an astronomical sum!!

"You said that yourself! I didn't force you!"

Han Feng smiled warmly.

This method really worked!

He'd originally planned to take just over half of Xiao Paimeng's Mora.

Who knew there'd be an unexpected bonus?!

Although Han Boss didn't care for money—he loved nothing more than sipping tea in the manga shop,

still, being able to "squeeze" Xiao Paimeng made him feel wonderfully pleased.

"Yes, yes, Boss Cong didn't coerce me at all—it was all my voluntary transaction."

Xiao Paimeng wanted to cry.

She'd been bullied, yet still had to praise Boss Cong.

It was utterly unjust!

Yet although somewhat discouraged, she didn't feel too much sorrow.

After all, she was bound to make a lot of money anyway!

Now it's just a matter of how much more she'd make.

Besides, she'd been freeloading off the boss for so long—this money would count as her expenses.

Thinking of this, Little Paimon felt a little better.

But then she remembered there were still three demands left, and her mood sank again.

Before, owing so much it didn't weigh her down had been comfortable.

But now that it came time to pay up, it was too hard.

"I should never have made that bet!"

Thinking of that poker game, Little Paimon's face was filled with regret.
