Chapter 16 - Sold to You for 50,000
"Mei Jie, what's wrong? Are you okay? Why is your face so red?"
Upon hearing Yu Mei's cry, Su Qiao and Xiao Jing hurriedly expressed their concern.
"No, nothing, I just choked on soup!" Yu Mei, her face flushed red, quickly explained.
The following time passed quite harmoniously, Yu Mei didn't bother Yun Hao again, but just when they were about to finish eating, an unexpected event occurred!
"Wow, what a big bouquet of roses!"
"Yeah, I wonder who's getting them? If they were for me, I'd definitely spend a night with him!"
"Are you serious? Just a bouquet and you're willing to spend the night? You're such a hopeless romantic!"
"What do you know? That's the heir of Nanjiang City's Sun Group, a real rich catch!"
The surrounding employees erupted as if boiling over, and several girls near Yun Hao and his group looked as if they had seen a feast, their eyes eager to devour the newcomer whole!
Just by the sound, Yun Hao could tell it was some spoiled rich kid. To these young women, money and status are overwhelmingly tempting. Just look at him; he's never been impressed by such things!
If Liu Mengqi knew what Yun Hao was thinking, she would surely roll her eyes at him. He might not care about fame and money, but just because the allure wasn't strong enough! Remember that time when Yun Hao took on a high-risk mission solo for a three-billion US Dollar bounty and disappeared for half a month, only to reappear after sneaking into the enemy's base disguised!
It was during that stint that he wiped out a whole mercenary team of over 300 armed men, earning him the moniker Asura! If Liu Mengqi hadn't collected the bounty and invested it globally, Yun Hao would have squandered it all. Even so, Yun Hao took some brothers out to enjoy themselves, blowing a good forty to fifty million US Dollars!
"Su Qiao, this is for you. Do you like it?" Just then, a crowd gathered around Yun Hao's dining table, and a young man's voice rang out!
"Sun Hao, it's you. I've already told you, it's not possible between us!" Su Qiao, still eating, was notably disgruntled upon hearing the man's voice and addressed him sternly.
"I just wanted to give you this bouquet of roses. After all, weren't we once classmates?" Sun Hao's eyes briefly reflected a shadowy glint at Su Qiao's response. Though he masked it well, there was no escaping Yun Hao's keen gaze!
"Fine then, thank you!" Seeing Sun Hao's persistence, Su Qiao reluctantly accepted the roses, then said to him, "I've accepted the flowers, so you should leave now! After lunch, I still have to return to the office with my colleagues!"
"No problem, just enjoy your meal. I'll just sit here and watch you, and I'll leave after you're done!"
Upon hearing Sun Hao's words, Yun Hao witnessed for the first time what it truly means to be shameless. This Sun Hao guy had a thicker skin and was even more brazen than him!
"But there's no space here!" Su Qiao glanced around to see that all nearby spots were occupied and their small table was already full with four people.
"No worries, I'm confident this brother here will give up his seat for me!"
Sun Hao was confident. With his status as the heir of the Sun Group in Nanjiang City, few would dare disrespect him. Moreover, he believed that pursuing a girl he fancied was entirely justified!
But he was completely wrong, as wrong as could be, because the person whose shoulder he touched was someone he couldn't afford to provoke: Yun Hao!
"This outfit of mine is quite expensive. If you smudge it, you probably can't afford to pay for it!" Without lifting his head, Yun Hao flicked Sun Hao's hand off his shoulder. He had recognized this guy as soon as he approached, the same Sun kid who had been boastful during the interview!
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. Though Yun Hao and Su Qiao aren't related by blood, since their adoptive parents were no longer around, he had to take on the role of looking out for his sister to ensure Su Qiao wouldn't have an unhappy future!
Sun Hao's demeanor had already revealed his unsavory character, and having heard Su Qiao's clear lack of interest in him, Yun Hao naturally wouldn't give him any face!
"Damn, where did this punk come from? How dare you talk to Young Master Sun like that, you must have a death wish!" A burly man in Sun Hao's entourage cursed, ready to step forward and teach Yun Hao a lesson!
"Keep it civil!" Though Sun Hao was displeased, he restrained his underling for the sake of leaving a good impression on Su Qiao, then looked at Yun Hao with a faux-friendly grin and said sarcastically, "Hey friend, how about a hundred bucks for your seat?"
What the heck? A hundred bucks? Damn, do you think I've never seen money before?
"A hundred bucks might get you a seat a hundred meters away!"
"Oh? How about I up it to a thousand?" Sun Hao pulled ten Huaxia notes out of his wallet, placing them before Yun Hao. Sun Hao believed that if the other party valued money, any issue could be resolved!
"Such a miserly offer from the great Sun scion, from a hundred to a thousand? How about this: I'll give you ten thousand, and you stay a hundred meters away from me, okay?" Yun Hao was a master at insulting without profanity. Even as he spoke, he raised his head, smiling harmlessly at Sun Hao!
"So tell me, how much for you to give up the seat? As long as it's not outrageous, I'll pay. I advise you, brother, not to push your luck!"
If not for wanting to make a good impression on Su Qiao, Sun Hao would have loved nothing more than to knock down the insolent man in front of him and wipe his face across the floor with his pricey shoes!
"Fifty thousand, and the seat is yours!"
"Deal!"
Sun Hao was also decisive. After getting Yun Hao's account information, he transferred fifty thousand Huaxia Coins to Yun Hao on the spot, then stared intently at him!
