Chapter 17: Eighty Thousand Yuan Per Punch!
Wang Fei had quite a bit to drink tonight, but he wasn’t drunk.
He soon realized he had mistaken the person.
The facial features and demeanor of the person in front of him looked very, very similar to that old Korean fellow at first glance.
But they were definitely not the same person.
Upon closer inspection, there were quite a few differences.
The biggest difference between the two was that Jiang Tao had thick black hair, while the old Korean fellow was bald.
Another difference was that Jiang Tao was 1.82 meters tall, while the old Korean fellow was only about 1.75 meters.
“Hey, buddy, do we know each other? You’re staring at me so intensely that I’m feeling very uncomfortable.”
Jiang Tao pulled up his pants, took two steps back, and looked at Wang Fei with a wary expression, initiating contact.
“Oh, no, I don’t know you. It’s just a coincidence, you look a bit like someone.”
Wang Fei also pulled up his pants as he spoke.
His gaze remained on Jiang Tao’s face, and the more he looked, the more he felt this face was incredibly punchable!
Although Jiang Tao’s features weren’t the kind that made him instantly handsome,
he possessed a rebellious aura like a wanderer.
In simpler terms, he had a roguish charm.
With this kind of look, paired with some artistic talents, he would be quite popular with girls.
Wang Fei’s girlfriend was snatched away by some artsy Korean guy from South Korea.
Jiang Tao feigned displeasure, saying, “No, buddy, I don’t like what you’re saying. I am a person, what do you mean ‘a bit like someone’?”
Wang Fei didn’t pick up on Jiang Tao’s remark and asked him, “Your accent suggests you’re Chinese, but why were you speaking Korean just now?”
“There’s no why, I just said it casually, I was just kidding. Goodbye to you!”
As soon as Jiang Tao finished speaking, he stepped past Wang Fei and was about to leave.
“Wait!”
Seeing Jiang Tao about to leave, Wang Fei turned and called out to his retreating figure.
“What is it?”
Jiang Tao hesitated for two seconds before turning back to look at Wang Fei.
Although his face looked utterly calm, his heart was cheering Wang Fei on!
Hurry up, buddy, get to the point!
Let’s not drag this out, can’t we just get to the main subject!
Wang Fei looked at Jiang Tao’s face and suddenly said seriously:
“Can you let me punch you?”
“Are you crazy!”
Jiang Tao snorted angrily and turned to leave!
“One punch, I’ll give you 10,000 yuan!”
Wang Fei shouted at Jiang Tao’s retreating back, but received no response. Jiang Tao left without looking back.
The system said 80,000, and you’re only offering 10,000, are you trying to skim my commission!
Wang Fei wouldn’t travel all the way to South Korea to find the Korean guy who cheated on him to vent his anger.
Doing so would make him look even more pathetic, as if he couldn’t let go of the past!
However, just letting it go was something he truly couldn’t stomach, his feelings were unresolved!
At this moment, whether it was the effect of the alcohol or something else,
he intensely wanted to punch Jiang Tao, as if to put an end to this matter.
Of course, he knew he was deceiving himself.
But sometimes, people genuinely need to deceive themselves.
They need to find an excuse, however ridiculous or far-fetched, to reconcile with themselves.
Although Wang Fei had drunk a lot of alcohol in silence, his rationality was still intact.
If he rashly went up to punch Jiang Tao, he could be charged with provoking trouble if Jiang Tao decided to pursue it.
Such a consequence would have a significant negative impact on him, as he was about to join a family business!
Not long ago, a certain star’s unbecoming behavior after drinking caused a major negative impact.
He lost fans, had many announcements canceled, and faced considerable breach of contract penalties.
The economic losses were conservatively estimated to be over tens of millions!
If he impulsively went and beat up Jiang Tao, his losses wouldn’t be any less than that star who lost control after drinking!
“Buddy, let me punch you, name your price!”
Wang Fei quickened his pace to catch up with Jiang Tao ahead and asked again.
He had to throw this punch!
“Buddy, what did I do to you to make you want to hit me? Do I really look that punchable?”
Jiang Tao stopped again and engaged in a tug-of-war with Wang Fei, holding the absolute advantage knowing the bottom price.
The system said the maximum was 80,000, which was probably the most Wang Fei could afford.
“20,000!”
Wang Fei couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to Jiang Tao.
Tell you that my girlfriend cheated on me?
And you, you look just like the person who cheated on me?
Don’t I have any dignity?
Wang Fei’s thinking was simple; he noticed that the clothes Jiang Tao was wearing weren’t any famous brands, leading him to deduce that he probably didn’t have much money.
Therefore, he planned to just throw money at him until he agreed.
Jiang Tao looked at Wang Fei angrily and said, “I’ll give you 30,000, will you let me punch you?”
“40,000.”
“Crazy!”
Jiang Tao turned away again.
“80,000! Last offer! Think it over!”
Wang Fei seemed to have lost his patience and directly made his final quoted price.
If Jiang Tao didn’t agree, he wouldn’t force him any further.
He also knew that earning this money was quite humiliating.
If it were him, Wang Fei, he wouldn’t agree for 80,000, let alone 800,000!
In Wang Fei’s opinion, dignity was much more important than money!
Upon hearing Wang Fei’s final offer, Jiang Tao stopped walking again.
He knew this was probably the other party’s bottom line.
If he continued to haggle, this money would likely slip through his fingers.
The intelligence system indicated that this intelligence was only worth 80,000, and there must be a reason for that!
Greed knows no bounds!
In such a short time, to earn 80,000 yuan, what more could he be unsatisfied with?
Jiang Tao turned around to face Wang Fei and asked him seriously:
“Buddy, are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m serious. If you don’t believe me, I can transfer the money first.”
Wang Fei’s expression was very calm.
80,000 yuan was just a few days’ worth of his pocket money.
Spending 80,000 yuan to resolve his feelings was quite a worthwhile transaction.
“You can’t hit my face, I rely on this face for a living.”
Jiang Tao agreed surprisingly quickly and didn’t feel awkward at all, as if he hadn’t been the one refusing Wang Fei several times!
Making money is never shameful!
“Deal! I won’t hit your face!”
Wang Fei was amused by Jiang Tao’s words and suddenly found this somewhat rustic-looking man rather interesting.
He himself felt that hitting someone’s face was too humiliating.
This man only looked like the Korean guy who cheated on him, he wasn’t the actual person.
He just wanted to vent a little and resolve his feelings, there was no need for further humiliation.
“Settle the bill first.”
“Okay!”
Wang Fei was also very straightforward and directly transferred 80,000 yuan to Jiang Tao’s Taobao account.
“Can I punch you now?”
“Yes, you can. Let me reiterate, don’t hit my face.”
“Ah da!”
Wang Fei let out a loud yell and punched Jiang Tao squarely on the left side of his chest.
After taking the punch, Jiang Tao didn’t react much.
Instead, Wang Fei clutched his fist, grimacing in pain.
“Huh? That’s it?”
Jiang Tao’s eye twitched; he felt like he had earned this 80,000 yuan humiliation fee too easily.
Wang Fei’s strength wasn’t even as much as his wife Xu Li’s!
He even felt like giving Wang Fei two more punches for free.
