Chapter 695: Six hundred and ninety reinforcements for He Jingmei

"But after you’ve seen the bill, $45,000 won’t cut it, you have to compensate according to $50,000."

After Gu Chen and his crew finished collecting, the guy was momentarily stunned.

Seeing the serious expression on Gu Chen’s face, it didn’t seem like he was trying to swindle money, but rather he was very serious.

This made him hesitate, as he had always been unable to discern whether these words were true or false.

Mainly, he felt it was absurd. $40,000 a day, how could that be possible?

He had never heard of any industry selling alcohol that could make tens of thousands of dollars in a single day.

Each of these three nightclubs, the daily turnover of each was just slightly over $20,000."

If we go by what Gu Chen said, then this one nightclub could match the combined turnover of two of those other three nightclubs. This industry would then seem to be making too much money, with profits that seem a bit strange.

But despite this, Gu Chen did not seem to be joking, which left one unsure of how to react; it seemed like the stakes were getting too high.

At this moment, his face still showed disbelief, and he directly said to Gu Chen, "Alright, let’s go check the bill. If it reaches that number, I will compensate you $50,000."

When Gu Chen heard him say this, he knew right away that the guy was just a stupid fool.

Any sensible person wouldn’t choose to check the bill; this guy just didn’t have a brain.

The logic was also very simple.

If the bar wasn’t making money, then why would these three nightclubs bother to fight over this business?

Since they made a move, it meant the bar was indeed profitable, which proved that this guy’s intelligence was lacking, no wonder he could only be an underling.

Afterward, they went to the bar’s front desk, also taking out the bar’s bills.

When Gu Chen spread out the bill.

Cyclops and the guy immediately leaned in, eager to look.

As they clearly saw on the bill, every stroke recorded the daily revenue achieved, they were dumbfounded.

The bar could actually sell nearly $70,000 to $90,000 a day.

So, Gu Chen was not lying; what he said was true.

At this point, the guy’s face was completely shocked; he had not anticipated that the bar could be making so much money.

Cyclops too appeared as if he’d never seen the world, frightened by the scene before him, not knowing what to say.

"You’ve seen what there is to see; hand over the money."

Gu Chen wasn’t one for idle talk and directly prompted the guy to hand over the money.

The guy’s face turned the color of pig liver, filled with immense regret.

If he had known it would be like this, he would not have looked; after checking, it cost him an additional $5,000.

What a waste of $5,000.

He felt incredibly uncomfortable, even unsure of what to say at the moment.

However, he was very clear in his mind that he had to hand over the money today; without it, he clearly couldn’t leave this place.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and produced the full $50,000.

After handing over the money, his anger was directed not only at Gu Chen but also at Cyclops with a furious glare.

"I’ll remember today’s incident; after I go back, I’ll tell General Manager Zhao. Just you wait, Cyclops, your trouble is yet to come," he said.

After dropping that harsh line, he took his people and all who followed him, and they left in a swarm.

However, faced with his threat, Cyclops didn’t show any sign of nervousness on his face, not even taking his words seriously.

"Now that they’re all gone, I’ll be going too; goodbye, Boss Gu."

He was very decisive, and seeing that the guy had left with his people, he too prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Gu Chen stopped him.

"Hold on, we still don’t know who sent for you?"

As the saying goes, there’s a creditor for every debt. Gu Chen still didn’t understand why Cyclops had suddenly come to his aid.

"Miss He asked us to come.

But this guy is a bit troublesome, I’ll have to go back and discuss it further with the boss. However, we’ll definitely take care of this matter, Boss Gu need not worry, this guy will fall into my hands sooner or later."

He spoke to Gu Chen at this time, also informing Gu Chen of the reason they had arrived here.

After listening, Gu Chen finally understood; it seemed all of them had been called by He Jingmei.

Gu Chen hadn’t expected He Jingmei to actually send someone to aid him.

It was a surprise to Gu Chen, who had thought that He Jingmei was just talking big. Yet, He Jingmei had actually followed through on her word.

"Boss Gu, it’s getting late, we should meet up again later. Be careful during this time. These guys shouldn’t dare to make a move in theory, but nobody can be sure they won’t go crazy all of a sudden. Though I reckon they won’t dare to cause trouble for a while."

He reminded Gu Chen like this.

After saying these words, he left directly without continuing to say anything else to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded at this and did not say anything further.

Subsequently, the group left like that.

The bar instantly quieted down.

It was as if all matters had passed at this very moment.

Every employee in the bar had a look of joy on their face; for them, the bar had just overcome a major crisis.

But there wasn’t much joy on my own face; for Gu Chen, such an incident made him feel rather pathetic.

After so long, he still hadn’t managed a single true case on his own. To have to depend on others in such a situation was something that made Gu Chen very unhappy, and he had already resolved in his heart that he could not let this matter go so easily; he needed to swiftly gather his own forces.

He certainly couldn’t just let this matter continue to develop.

However, now clearly wasn’t the time to dwell on this matter.

"Alright then, everyone is off work. Head home quickly."

He said to all the employees present, allowing them to leave work early.

After all the employees had gone, Gu Chen was left alone in the bar.

He casually found a spot inside the bar, sat down, and felt a deep sense of melancholy.

He had made money, but the fact that he didn’t have his own people really troubled him.

As he was sitting there for only a short while, suddenly someone walked into the bar from outside.

Gu Chen turned his head to look and was surprised to find that it was Old Yuan.

Seeing Old Yuan, Gu Chen was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to come.

"I heard there was trouble at the bar, so I came over to see. What happened just now?"

Old Yuan asked Gu Chen this, to which Gu Chen only smiled.

"It’s nothing, everything’s been resolved."

At this point, Old Yuan came over and sat opposite Gu Chen.

"Tell me what exactly happened; maybe I can help you," Old Yuan said to Gu Chen.

It was apparent that Old Yuan was deeply concerned about the issue.

It wasn’t for any other reason, mainly because Gu Chen had truly saved his daughter’s life.
