Chapter 370: Threat

Wu An also knows doing this, it's pretty lacking in emotional intelligence.

Treat Shen Nan like a fool.

If Shen Nan weren't an idiot, he could also feel it.

What Wu An wants is exactly this effect.

Whatever Shen Nan is up to, Wu An doesn't care at all; he also heard quite a few things from A Qing lately, and he also knows Shen Nan will do well in the future.

If you're doing well, that's your ability.

We're not bad either.

Wu An also knows that he and Shen Nan probably can't keep to themselves; before the sea wasn't opened, he went out to sea fishing and got reported, later he found out it was Shen Nan and Chen Gui colluding.

The one who made the phone call to report was Shen Nan.

Afterwards he publicized it a bit, really disgusting Chen Gui, without affecting Shen Nan.

He's kept this bottled up, never found a chance to get revenge, mainly because Shen Nan this slippery kid let Chen Gui take the front.

This kid, he inherited the true teachings of Old Village Chief Shen.

Not that easy to deal with.

Wu An thought, as long as Shen Nan doesn't cause trouble later, worst case he'll just swallow this anger for now; anyway, he'll eventually get it back on the bay contract.

The result.

Shen Nan voluntarily jumped in front of him to show off.

Then he'll just disgust him as well.

Boss Fang prepared the milk tea, handed it out to everyone one by one, took Shen Nan's money, then turned and thanked Wu An: "A An, thanks."

"Thanks to you, I could open today."

Shen Nan heard that and felt annoyed, reminding: "Boss Fang, I'm the one who paid."

Boss Fang said: "I know, I know, but I didn't thank the wrong person, did I?"

"Just now you all were about to pass by my little shop."

"If it weren't for A An, you wouldn't have come in, let alone treat."

"Right, hehe."

"You..." Shen Nan hummed twice, then said: "I really wouldn't go into your shop; just looking at it seems subpar, and after drinking, sure enough it's subpar."

"Nothing beats the good milk tea I've had in the city."

Boss Fang gave a hehe laugh: "You guys heard that, right?"

"From now on, let him take you to the city for better milk tea."

Naturally, no one responded to him.

Shen Nan's face darkened: "Boss, there's a reason your business isn't good."

Boss Fang nodded and said: "Yeah."

"It's just lacking big spenders like you."

"If we had a few like you every day, business would be booming."

Shen Nan was so angry he wanted to lash out.

"I spent money to consume, and you still scold me for being stupid and rich."

So angry it's chilling!

A Qing couldn't hold back a "kuku" laugh and started laughing; Mai Hangyu also laughed, saying: "A Qing, don't laugh, when you laugh I can't hold back either."

A Qing buried his face under the table: "I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh."

"Kuku..."

Shen Nan gave a cold snort, not bothering with the boss, but looked at Wu An and said: "Let's still talk about Lin Hu's matter."

"That's right, Lin Hu is currently helping me with work."

"Both emotionally and rationally I should help him."

"I know this matter is Lin Hu's fault, he should compensate, but you previously demanded too much; we can discuss and settle on a suitable compensation amount."

Lin Bin said: "Earlier I had a conflict with Lin Hu, and Shen Nan mediated it."

"Wu An, we're from the same village."

"You see each other every day; Shen Nan is willing to step in to mediate, we should all listen, turning big issues small and small issues resolved—that's the principle, right?"

Wu An smiled faintly, teasing: "Yo, really?"

"So you're saying you've already resolved your conflicts, turned weapons into jade and silk, shaken hands and made peace?"

Lin Bin reached out, put his arm around Lin Hu's shoulder, the two brothers shoulder-to-shoulder, saying: "Yeah."

"Shen Nan is fair."

"We all admire him."

Shen Nan lifted his head slightly, revealing a composed yet proud smile.

During this time, by mediating the conflicts between Lin Bin and Lin Hu, he gained great exposure in the village; the Lin family is a prominent surname there, he's helped so much that if he does anything in the future, with Lin Hu and Lin Bin around, the Lins basically won't hold him back.

This seems like a thankless effort.

Actually, the benefits are great—not only does it let everyone see his ability, it can also win people's hearts.

But.

There's a precondition.

That Lin Bin and Lin Hu can truly reconcile as before.

Otherwise.

The higher the hype for this matter, the more praise Shen Nan gets, if something goes wrong later, the backlash will be just as big.

Wu An suppressed a smile, looked at Shen Nan, and said, "Getting those two fellow practitioners to reconcile, you're pretty capable."

"Fine, I'll give you this face."

"The repair shop's quote is one hundred thousand; I'll give you a discount."

"Let's make it fifty percent off."

Lin Hu's face lit up upon hearing it; Shen Nan's face is really before ah, but his smile quickly faded, because even fifty percent off still requires paying fifty thousand.

Where would he get that much money!

Shen Nan tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "A An, would ten thousand work?"

Wu An laughed, shook his head: "Of course... not gonna work."

"Shen Nan, bargaining isn't done like that; you should cut straight from the soles of your feet."

"I'll also be honest with you: the fifty percent discount isn't entirely out of respect for your face; it's also because I'm kind."

Shen Nan silently cursed Wu An's kindness as bullshit; his quote of ten thousand dollars wasn't baseless—he doesn't fight unprepared battles, having also investigated, knowing that even replacing the engine would cost only around ten thousand.

Shen Nan, who had been sitting, slowly rose and said, "So there's nothing to discuss?"

Wu An chuckled: "This matter is between me and Lin Hu."

"I advise you not to get involved."

"If you insist on getting involved, then help repay the debt."

Shen Nan stared at him for a moment and said, "Wu An, this money isn't whatever you say it is; if things blow up, it won't be good for you either."

"Since I don't have that much influence, worst case I'll get the Village Committee involved."

"I heard your dad works at the Village Committee and is most fair; your behavior like this would make things difficult for him."

Wu An's gaze turned cold.

"Shen Nan, you've watched too many Japanese movies."

"You're threatening him with this lame meme?"

He calmly said, "You can give it a try."

Shen Nan saw Wu An unmoved by reason or profit, nodded, and instead of spouting harsh words on the street, he held his milk tea, leading the people away from the milk tea shop.

Boss Fang raised his brows and said, "A An, be careful—dogs that bite usually don't bark."

Wu An nodded and laughed, "Thanks for cooperating."

Boss Fang laughed, "Of course."

"I don't care."

"Anyway, I'm leaving soon; my relatives here have all followed my father to the city, and I probably won't be coming back much after that."

A Qing cursed, "Brother, Shen Nan is really nasty; he's planning to step on you to make a name for himself."

"I already told you that before."

"Now in the village, many of those in their twenties and thirties hang out with him."

"We also need to make preparations."
