560: Chapter 560: Plucking the Goose as It Passes!

The Ultimate Bad Deal!

What does that mean?

Tan thought deeply with furrowed brows all the way, and he was somewhat puzzled.

Why would Wu Jie want to make such a lasting impression on Perrio?

Could it be he wanted Perrio to hate him for a lifetime?

When they reached the neighboring private room.

Seeing Perrio’s pale face and his listless appearance, Tan could not afford to think too much anymore.

This was a rare opportunity!

Since they couldn’t be made to compensate monetarily for the equipment, the only thing to do was to find a way to make them bleed heavily in other respects!

Moreover, it had to be covert, yet beneficial to the country and the people.

About this!

Tan had long been prepared!

In the neighboring room…

Bang!

The door closed.

Wu Jie flicked the ash from his cigarette and got up to lie down on the sofa.

Compared to sitting, the brother prefers to lie down and win!

Letting Tan represent himself in the negotiations, it didn’t matter what terms he and Perrio discussed.

As long as Wu Jie’s name was mentioned more, it would be enough to make Perrio continuously hate him.

What the brother wants isn’t money, but energy points!

Bring it on!

Go ahead, hate the brother like crazy!

A few minutes into lying down, the momentum of hatred surged!

However, Tan was too gentle; his speech obviously not harsh enough.

Sporadic hatred was probably only sparked by the mention of Wu Jie’s name, which caused Perrio to hate.

The system’s increasingly slow happy reports gradually made Wu Jie lose his sense of anticipation.

Instead, overpowering drowsiness swept over him.

He didn’t sleep until around three in the morning, and was immensely sleepy.

Once he slept, he was dead to the world.

It wasn’t until he was pushed and shouted at that Wu Jie slowly woke up.

His eyes snapped open, instantly bewildered.

Fuck!

When he woke up, it was already dark!

Sitting up, he saw only Tan’s secretary standing in front of him.

“What time is it?”

“It’s eleven o’clock at night now!”

“Where’s Tan?”

“After signing the agreement, a welcome banquet was held, and then he went to the airport to see off the envoy!”

Wu Jie was stunned and jumped to his feet.

“Fuck!

You sent him off just like that?

I haven’t made enough yet!”

“Huh?

Made what?” the secretary asked.

“Er…

haven’t had enough fights!”

Wu Jie’s lips twitched as he sat down cursing under his breath.

He lit a cigarette and took a couple of deep drags.

“Hold on!

What exactly did that old guy compensate me with?”

“Tan said when he comes back, he will explain to you personally, do you want to go back to your room now?

Or have a meal here?”

“Back to my room!!” Wu Jie took a hard drag of his cigarette, “Right, and prepare me a big feast using the highest standards!

I’m so hungry I could pass out!”

“All right, no problem!”

Leaving the private room, Wu Jie crossed the courtyard back to his own room.

During high-profile negotiations, Wu Jie knew the protocol, so his phone was turned off the whole time.

And now that he turned it on and connected to the network, he received quite a few text messages.

The airline sent a text message to Wu Jie, reminding him that the flight back to Tianyuan scheduled for seven o’clock in the evening had already taken off and that he should rebook as soon as possible.

Tang Xiao sent a message asking if he had boarded the plane, as they were set to leave for Wu Jie’s hometown early the next morning.

His father also inquired about what time they would arrive at the hometown tomorrow, how many people were coming, so he could arrange the reception.

Additionally.

Yu Hui reported that, after the meticulous treatment of experts, Xu Kuishan and his son’s condition continued to improve steadily.

And Mu En seemed to have developed a mental disorder, often making nonsensical ramblings, smashing, and cursing erratically.

But considering his craftiness and shrewdness, and the fact that he had previously gone as far as self-harm to get medical parole,

it couldn’t be ruled out that he was possibly feigning madness to evade legal punishment.

Wu Jie quickly replied to the messages one by one.

He had thought that the negotiations with the envoy would take place in the morning, and his return flight was booked for the evening, giving him ample time.

But now…

he still couldn’t leave!

Therefore, Wu Jie asked Tang Xiao to contact his father to confirm the number of people and the itinerary.

He told her to pack her bags and not wait in Tianyuan; they would meet directly in the old family home tomorrow.

After that, Wu Jie rebooked his flight for a direct one to Xirong City, his hometown, the next morning.

After all the hustle, showering and washing up, Tan’s secretary brought over several chefs.

All the dishes were wonderfully aromatic and flavorful, and accompanied by Moutai, the class was truly different!

“Come!

Sit down and join me!” Wu Jie warmly invited the secretary.

“Thank you!

I am still within working hours, it’s not allowed!”

The secretary politely declined.

Wu Jie chuckled: “Then you go about your business!

Just leave me to get drunk alone until dawn!”

Once the secretary left, Wu Jie poured himself a drink and slowly began to eat, in no rush at all.

Late into the night.

Tan finally came back.

Upon entering, he smelled alcohol and saw that there were still a lot of hot dishes on the table.

“I’ll say, you really know how to live!

You really enjoy the finer things, don’t you?”

Tan sat down, pulling out the chair.

Wu Jie smiled and said, “Here I was waiting for you.

Look, your chopsticks and bowl have been ready, and I poured the wine.

If you hadn’t come, I would have had the waiters serve the fourth course!”

“Enough, enough, stop pestering the waiters!”

Tan picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Then he picked up his glass, “Cheers!

I’m thanking you on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people!”

Bang!

The glasses clinked, but Wu Jie looked astonished.

“What…

What do you mean by that?

I asked you to negotiate with Perrio, and you just sacrificed personal interests for the greater good?

Without considering me at all, you’ve sought benefits for the whole nation?”

“Right!

Wasn’t it you who said you had no other demands, just wanted your name mentioned more during the negotiations?”

“This…”

Wu Jie gave an awkward smile.

He threw back his neck and downed his drink.

Seeing this, Tan chuckled and said, “Don’t be so stingy, man.

With all that money in your domestic and overseas accounts, you couldn’t spend it all in a lifetime.

Stop thinking about how much money you can make all the time.

You have to think about the big picture!”

Wu Jie smiled without saying a word.

Actually…

I never said I wanted money!

The energy points I earned were more than enough, and I was completely satisfied.

Seeing Wu Jie silent but still grinning, Tan frowned and scolded, “Don’t just grin at me, I’m trying to talk sense here.

If you think I’m wrong, just say so.

I’m not like Perrio with such poor mental strength!”

Wu Jie shook his head, “Money or not, it really doesn’t matter to me!

Anyway, I can’t let them get away with this so easily!”

“Of course it won’t be easy for them!” Tan poured another glass of wine, beaming with joy.

“Didn’t you hear what my secretary said?

Perrio secretly signed an agreement with us.

You gave up personal gain for the benefit of others.

People are definitely going to be grateful to you!”

Wu Jie laughed it off.

“Grateful?

I would rather they curse me to the core!”

Tan was surprised, “Huh?

Why would you think that way?”

“Just kidding!” Wu Jie raised his glass, touched it with Tan’s, and laughed, “I’d rather not be credited for such a major contribution.

I’m just a common man.

Don’t put me on too high a pedestal.

Being too famous can be a trouble too!”

Tan said with a laugh, “Ah, so you want to do good deeds without seeking recognition!

Well, that’s good too, since it’s a secret agreement anyway.

Let’s just pretend like it never happened!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, then suddenly asked:

“What if I get assassinated again…”

“Don’t worry!

There’s a saying, ‘third time’s a charm’, if it happens again, I’ll support you even if you pierce the heavens!”

…

That night.

Wu Jie and Tan lingered over drinks.

One bright lamp stayed lit until dawn.

Early in the morning.

Wu Jie packed his things and prepared to go to the airport.

And Tan…

Lay his head on the table, still muttering nonsense.

The secretary-general and security guards stood by, exchanging glances.

They looked at Wu Jie as if he were an alien.

Impressive!

Not only could he stun an envoy twice in a row.

Last night he drank with Tan, talked like brothers, high spirits all around.

They were almost at the point of swearing brotherhood with a blood pact.

It was the first time in years that Tan had been so drunk.

Happy as they were, the way he lay sprawled on the table, mumbling words…

It really lacked decorum!

“What are you staring at me for?

I hold my liquor like a champ.

Now hurry up and take Tan back to rest!”

“And another thing!

That Moutai we bought outside, why does it taste different from this one here?

Is it specially supplied?”

“Get me a few dozen cases, fly them to Xirong with me; I need to take them back to my hometown for a wedding celebration!”

“What’s the holdup?

Do I need to wake Tan up myself?”

…

Under Wu Jie’s loud commands, no one dared to disobey.

Twenty minutes later.

Wu Jie set off in the sedan, looking dapper.

A small truck followed, emptied the hotel’s wine stock, and took plenty of rare ingredients as well.

Give up personal gain for the public good?

I’m the sort of person who wouldn’t let even a wild goose pass without plucking a feather!

How could I leave without taking some benefits?

How would that live up to the ‘King of Tricksters’ title?

I might not get fifty billion, but one or two billion could still be possible.

Tan had negotiated everything away, solely contributing to the country and our people.

What about me then?

Just…

Wu Jie was pleased.

He was whisked directly to the tarmac, the first one boarding the plane.

All his packed items were the first loaded into the cargo hold of the plane.

After getting on board, the attentive service of the flight attendants was a given, even the flight crew reported in…

And Tan?

After being woken up with sobering meds, he learned that Wu Jie had ‘looted’ the liquor storage.

Nearly emptying the stock, it certainly ‘inflamed’ Tan quite a bit.

“That little scamp, he really won’t take any loss!”

“Couldn’t get the money, but he sheared my specially supplied liquor!

Truly an extreme example of someone who plucks the goose as it passes!”

While joking and cursing, Tan instructed the secretary-general.

He called Wu Jie’s hometown personally, ordering them to prepare well in all aspects.

Nothing could go wrong at that scamp Wu Jie’s wedding.

As for that.

Of course, Wu Jie was unaware, as his plane had already taken off…
