558: Chapter 558: Keep a low profile!
Don’t go all out!
Tragedy struck!
Perrio actually passed out from anger.
How are we supposed to negotiate now?
Looking at Perrio who was receiving emergency treatment, Tan gave Wu Jie a glance.
He had heard long ago that Wu Jie’s tongue-lashing skills were incredibly powerful.
Rumor had it, he was dubbed the King of Tricksters!
Now it seemed,
his tongue-lashing skills truly were formidable!
Perrio was always sly and cunning, and such an old politician, a stubborn holdout, with deep scheming and an incredibly thick face.
Yet, he was actually made to pass out by Wu Jie.
Tsk tsk!
Is there anyone in the world who could outdo Wu Jie in tongue-lashing?
“Alright, you!
Cut it out, will you?
How could Mr.
Special Envoy possibly fake a fall to extort you?
Let’s go, take a break next door for a while.
You’re not needed here anymore!”
On the surface, Tan scolded him, but his eyes were full of admiration.
Wu Jie stood up, protesting:
“Hey, you all have to back me up here!
I never laid a finger on him!”
“He was the one talking and talking, then out of the blue, he passes out.
It has nothing to do with me!”
Tan dragged Wu Jie, pulling him outside.
“I get it!
Just cut it out, will you?
Let’s go, let’s go!”
Without further discussion, Tan persuaded Wu Jie out of the room.
They moved to the next room.
Tan released Wu Jie, closed the door behind him, and immediately changed his tone.
“Was I too encouraging for you this early morning?
Did I fuel you up too much that you went all out, ammo fully loaded?”
Wu Jie laughed, “Do you think I was wrong to blast him?”
Tan rolled his eyes.
“According to our Chinese tradition, we should not only respect the old and love the young but also be civilized and polite!”
“I won’t hide it.
I heard everything you guys talked about!”
“He was a bit out of line, but you were too harsh in tongue-lashing him!
You even called him an idiot and incompetent!”
“He was shameless, but you were even more aggressive.
What if he actually died from anger?
How would you handle that?”
“How funny would it be if such a high-ranking, distinguished old man was angered to death?”
Wu Jie chuckled, “How was I to know his tolerance was so low?
I wasn’t even trying hard yet, and he fainted from anger!”
Upon hearing this, Tan’s eyes nearly popped out.
“What did you say?”
“You call that not trying hard?
If you went all out, wouldn’t you have literally angered him to death?”
Wu Jie shook his head ponderingly, took a seat, and said with a smile:
“I’m not that cruel!
The best I’ve ever done before in a verbal spat was making Su Geng spit blood and faint!
“But that guy has narrow-minded and extremist thoughts, and is inherently petty.
Perrio is different; he’s a special envoy!”
“As the saying goes, a prime minister’s belly should be big enough to sail a boat!
His official rank must be higher than an ancient prime minister’s, right?”
“Then, he should have an aircraft carrier in that belly of his!
But in the end…
I thought he was a King, turns out he’s not even on the level of Bronze!”
As he spoke, Wu Jie sighed with regret.
It truly was regrettable!
Five million, ah!
To have Perrio detest him once, it would cost five million energy points.
Where else could he find such an impressive figure?
If he had known Perrio was so easily knocked out, Wu Jie felt he should have been “gentler”.
Let him be on the verge of fainting, endlessly holding a grudge; that would be satisfying!
Now that he’s outright fainted, he won’t even hold a grudge against me.
How in the world will I earn energy points then!
Regret!
I’m filled with so much damn regret!
…
While Wu Jie was lost in his thoughts, looking as if he hadn’t had enough,
Tan found the situation both laughable and lamentable.
“You really are quite the character!”
“Most people would grovel before a special envoy, fawning over them and treating them with the utmost respect!”
“But you, you managed to knock him out with your words.
If this gets out, I bet there aren’t many in the world who would believe it!”
Wu Jie laughed, “Apart from me, who else would dare to spread this?”
Tan was startled.
“Damn!
You can’t be serious?
You’d actually share such an embarrassing story, leaving Perrio utterly humiliated with no face to show anyone again?”
Wu Jie chuckled, “Oh come on, I’m just joking.
Look how scared you got.
Do I seem like someone who can’t measure the extent of a joke?”
“Besides, as just an ordinary citizen, who would believe me if I claimed I made a special envoy faint?
”
“In this day and age, there are plenty of people who boast tall tales.
When my salary was three thousand, I dared to tell people it wasn’t less than a hundred thousand!”
“Bragging is something anyone can do.
So, don’t cry over something that hasn’t happened!”
Upon hearing this, Tan nearly fainted.
“Tsk tsk!
You really are something!
A salary of three thousand indeed isn’t less than a hundred thousand!”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard someone brag with such novel absurdity!”
Wu Jie smiled lightly.
“Honestly, what you told me this morning really was right!”
“There’s such a huge cultural difference between the East and the West, with entirely different ways of thinking and values!”
Tan nodded again and again, “It’s good you realize this, but what do you really want from Perrio then?”
Wu Jie raised an eyebrow, surprised and amused, “Why do you suddenly ask?”
Tan huffed and moved to sit down by himself.
“Perrio might not understand you well enough, but I have done my homework!”
“You might’ve been obscure before, but ever since getting together with Tang Xiao, it’s like you struck gold!”
“Meng Changxin, Wang Taixiong, Yuan Shikui, Su Geng…
most of those you’ve verbally sparred with, you’ve also tricked them!”
“So, tell me, what do you really want?”
Wu Jie replied with a smile, “Money!
If they give me a few hundred billion Gold Coins, I might just be able to forgive them!”
“Stop kidding around!
Be serious!” Tan scolded him with a laugh.
Wu Jie’s expression sobered, and he said earnestly,
“What do I really want?
It’s not money.
I just want a peaceful life!”
“After winning the East African SAM project bid, if they hadn’t instigated the Aseyah Youth Army to create a series of explosions, I wouldn’t have retaliated!”
“They didn’t stop at attempted assassinations.
If they hadn’t pushed me, I wouldn’t have blown up at Perrio, and I wouldn’t have threatened to sow chaos across the land!”
“If someone doesn’t offend me, I don’t offend them.
But if they go too far, then I have no choice but to go all in and turn the world upside down.”
Tan nodded slightly.
He knew that Wu Jie wasn’t one to start trouble, but he definitely wasn’t afraid of it either!
When it really came down to a fight,
he would absolutely go all out!
And it would be earth-shattering, devastating!
The miserable fate of Yuan Shikui and his Tianyuan He Ying Credit was the best proof.
“As the saying goes, ‘an innocent man with a gem in his pocket is asking for trouble.’ That fits you perfectly!”
“Your super strong abilities in the information network have made them wary, scared, so they really want to get rid of you!”
…
Before he could finish,
someone knocked on the door.
Tan immediately stopped the chitchat and called out.
The door opened, and a man in a Zhongshan suit reported,
“Mr.
Perrio has woken up and is not in serious trouble, but he strongly insists on continuing the talks with Mr.
Wu, what do you say?”
Tan turned to Wu Jie with a smile and asked, “What do you think?”
“A dead pig does not fear boiling water!
Then let’s keep talking!”
Wu Jie chuckled and immediately got up.
Perrio, oh Perrio!
This time, I’ll definitely take it easy on you, I promise not to make you pass out too quickly!
Otherwise, where would I get such a good opportunity to crazily gather more energy points!
“Hey, Jie!”
Tan suddenly stood up with a solemn face and advised,
“Remember to keep your words within limits.
If he really dies of anger here, it’ll definitely cause quite the international incident!”
Wu Jie laughed heartily and walked away.
Back in the next room,
Perrio was gulping down water.
His two tall and muscular bodyguards were standing by the door, medical kit in hand.
On seeing Wu Jie, their eyes were especially sharp, as if they wished they could stab him into a meat paste right then and there.
“What are you looking at?
It’s your responsibility that your special envoy got sick all of a sudden.
Instead of reflecting on it, you have the nerve to glare at me?
Who gave you the courage?
I…”
Wu Jie didn’t finish his sentence before Tan coughed violently twice.
“I’m saying, get in there and talk already!
What are you doing picking a fight with a couple of bodyguards out here?”
Wu Jie laughed, “Just warming up!
Just warming up!!”
“You!!”
Tan was visibly angered this time.
He had just warned Wu Jie not to go too far,
but now…
to use a couple of bodyguards for warm-up, it seemed like he was about to go in and take Perrio down!
Before Tan could curse at him, Wu Jie swiftly entered the room.
Closing the door behind him, Wu Jie looked up with a cold gaze sweeping across.
“Old man, you didn’t die of anger, huh?”
Boom!
At those words…
Tan nearly passed out in anger.
For goodness’ sake!
Where did this demon come from?
They say he’s a national treasure-level talent, but it feels like he’s a one-of-a-kind monster the world has rarely seen!
No idea what Perrio thinks upon hearing this,
but if someone dared to speak to Tan like that, he’d probably slap them right away!
However…
Perrio didn’t seem to have fainted from anger.
Because the two bodyguards at the door didn’t rush in to save him.
With a silent sigh,
Tan hurriedly left with his men, but not without concern, so he went into a nearby office to ‘eavesdrop.’
Meanwhile, in the room,
Perrio was indeed furious, but not to the point of fainting again.
After the previous harsh words, Perrio had adjusted his attitude and didn’t intend to engage in a verbal spat with Wu Jie.
“How could I die of anger because of you?
What happened just now was merely a sudden illness!”
Wu Jie gave an “Oh,” and with a smile said, “So what you mean is, you’re not trying to frame me anymore?”
“Frame you?
What are you talking about?
Why do you young people always speak so aggressively?” Perrio said impatiently: “Just tell me, what do you want exactly for you to stop opposing us?”
Wu Jie scoffed, “I say, you old fool, you really are an idiot!
It’s so obvious that you’ve been trying to assassinate me one after another.
How can you say that I’m opposing you?
You’re the one trying to kill people – let’s not confuse the facts, okay?”
Perrio clenched his teeth, feeling an urge to beat someone up.
But he knew, with his status, he definitely couldn’t afford to get into a fight with Wu Jie with his old bones.
If it came to blows, Wu Jie could knock him dead with a single punch!
“Fine!
I’ll put it another way, what do you want us to do for you to give up retaliating with cyber attacks?”
Wu Jie laughed, “Isn’t that simple?
Pay up!
Give me a few hundred billion, and I’ll act like nothing ever happened!”
“What?
You…
you’ve got some nerve, to try and extort me!!”
Perrio was shaking with anger again.
Such an eye-opener!
Throughout history!
In all the world!
For crying out loud!
Never seen such a brazen young man!
Planning to extort the world’s superpower all by himself!
And he’s not being modest either, demanding a few hundred billion!
What is he planning?
A robbery?
Seeing Perrio not taking it lightly, shaking all over,
Wu Jie, real worried he might faint from anger again, quickly changed his tone:
“Whoa there!
Look how mad you got, we’re doing business here, how can we not haggle?”
“If you think a few hundred billion is too much, just offer me a little less!
One or two hundred billion, I can still accept that!”
“Hey hey hey…
don’t roll your eyes at me!
Eight hundred billion, alright?
That’s giving you plenty of face already!”
“Damn!
Don’t tremble like that!
Just don’t have an anger-induced hemorrhage, okay?
How about five hundred billion?
Bottom price, can’t go any lower!”
“Crap!
Somebody come quick!
He’s freaking fainted again!”
