88: Chapter 88 Utterly Stupid!
"We... ate it!"
Little Long gritted his teeth, and finally stammered out a sentence.
"Now the truth is out, right? Anyway, those two are from your Welfare Institute. Either you pay for them, or I'm calling the police right now."
"Even if they're still young, they should be sent to a juvenile detention center!"
The two men wearing short sleeves could no longer hold back.
"Give it a rest, isn't it just a small matter? Stop acting so dramatic."
"We'll just pay the money, won't we? Besides, you two also came from the Welfare Institute; why are you being so mean-spirited?"
Someone nearby couldn't help but step forward.
The two guys in short sleeves were Daqiang and his younger brother, Xiaoqiang.
The two of them had been selfish ever since they were at the Welfare Institute.
Now that they had left the Welfare Institute to live on their own, not only were they ungrateful, but they were also petty and calculating.
"Then pay up right now!"
"Don't think I don't know that the Welfare Institute is about to be demolished and you don't have much money on hand."
Daqiang immediately crossed his arms over his chest.
The two of them were naturally aware of the Welfare Institute's current situation, so they insisted on getting the money immediately.
"I'll pay this money."
Shen Zhou said calmly.
The Daqiang brothers immediately turned their heads to size him up.
They noticed that Shen Zhou was dressed plainly, but Chen Xiaoran, who was standing beside him, was dressed youthfully and beautifully.
"Oh, so it's you, Xiaoran. Don't tell me this guy is your boyfriend."
"How did you end up finding such an ordinary boyfriend?"
"If you ask me, you'd be better off with us brothers."
"We at least run three chain supermarkets; we make tens of thousands every month."
"If you kick this pretty boy to the curb now and come with us, it's not too late!"
Daqiang and his brother looked at Chen Xiaoran with lust in their eyes.
Tempted by her beauty, they didn't take Shen Zhou seriously at all.
"Xiaoran, look at this watch of mine, a Rolex gold watch, it cost tens of thousands!"
"And these leather shoes, they're LV!"
The brothers kept showing off the luxury brands they were wearing, their arrogant demeanor making one want to punch them.
"Since you have money, how can you be so shameless as to nitpick with the Welfare Institute?"
"People like you probably haven't cared about the Welfare Institute at all since you left."
"You don't even know how to be grateful; the two of you have really grown up in vain!"
Shen Zhou frowned.
He really couldn't hold back anymore.
Although the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.
But when these two stupid birds appeared in front of him, he really wished he could crush them both to death.
"Pah! When we brothers were at the Welfare Institute, we were always getting beaten up."
"It would have been one thing if it was just being bullied by other kids, but we were also bullied by the Welfare Institute staff. We don't have any feelings for this place at all."
"The fact that we brothers could grow up this big is all thanks to our own intelligence."
The Daqiang brothers' eyes turned fierce when they spoke of the past.
Those years living in the Welfare Institute were simply a painful past they could never let go of.
"Pah! I heard about you two from Grandpa Director long ago."
"When you were young, you were already up to petty theft and caused so much trouble for the Welfare Institute."
"If it weren't for Grandpa Director and the others pleading on your behalf, you would have been sent to a juvenile detention center long ago."
"Now, not only are you not grateful, but you even dare to come here to provoke us!"
Chen Xiaoran, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back either.
"So what? The past is in the past. We're talking about the current issue right now."
Knowing they were in the wrong, the Daqiang brothers started to act unreasonably.
"It's not the first time these two little brats have gone to my place to steal things."
"I've calculated it; all in all, they've taken at least three thousand yuan from me."
The brothers immediately made an exorbitant demand.
Even for their crappy supermarket, if you let someone take things, they wouldn't be able to take three thousand yuan worth.
Shen Zhou was so angry he laughed.
"Are you dragging this out for so long just for this little bit of money?"
"I thought these two kids had stolen your family's entire fortune."
Shen Zhou took a deep breath, and a brilliant idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"Since you run a supermarket, you should know how much your supermarkets are worth."
Daqiang, standing nearby, was a bit confused; he didn't know what Shen Zhou meant by this.
His supermarkets weren't worth much, after all, the scale wasn't large.
But if you calculate carefully, they should be worth a few hundred thousand.
After all, the prices of the goods inside were not low.
"What are you still standing there for? I'll give you two million, and from now on, your supermarkets belong to me."
Shen Zhou impatiently opened the suitcase beside him, inside which stacks upon stacks of large bills were neatly piled up.
The scene instantly fell silent.
There was at least a few million in this suitcase.
The visual impact of hundreds of stacks of red bills right in front of them stunned the Daqiang brothers into silence.
They couldn't imagine that Chen Xiaoran, a woman with some looks, had actually found such a rich boyfriend.
"While I haven't changed my mind, take the money and get lost."
"Same thing as before, don't come near the Welfare Institute easily in the future."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for having people break your legs."
Shen Zhou casually rummaged through it, and soon he and Chen Xiaoran picked out two million in cash.
Shen Zhou threw the money, stack after stack, into the faces of these two guys.
Feeling the pain of the hundred-yuan bills hitting their cheeks, the Daqiang brothers finally snapped back to reality.
"Fine, you win."
"We'll give you the supermarkets as you said, we will never come near here again."
Daqiang was both angry and happy, his heart already churning with waves of emotion.
The matter was thus completely settled.
"Little Shen, aren't you letting them take a huge advantage?"
"His few small shops plus the land there are worth at most about one million, after all, the location here is too remote."
Auntie Song, standing nearby, said anxiously.
However, Shen Zhou smiled mysteriously.
"Don't worry, Auntie Song, it's not that easy to take advantage of me."
On the way here, Shen Zhou had already noticed those small shops.
They had a unified name.
And when Shen Zhou bought things, he learned that the land where the small shops were located also belonged to the boss, which was the Daqiang brothers.
"Little Shen, are you eyeing the land where those small shops are located?"
"But the people from above have already surveyed it, and the area with the small shops is not within the scope of expropriation."
The Director said with some concern.
"Don't worry, Director, the scope is sometimes very flexible."
A meaningful smile appeared on Shen Zhou's face.
Hearing this, everyone stopped worrying about the matter.
Then, the staff of the Welfare Institute began to swarm to thank Shen Zhou.
The impact of the cash made them realize completely that perhaps there really was a possibility for this Welfare Institute to survive.
Shen Zhou waved his hand casually.
