Chapter 48 The Reasonable Su Chen
"What do you want?"
Although scared, Bald Hui still forced himself to stay calm, unwilling to be laughed at by the other party.
Director Xia, which one of our group's people did he break the leg of?" Su Chen turned to look at Xia Qiuru, "Was it the left leg?"
"What?"
Xia Qiuru blinked slightly upon hearing Su Chen's question.
"I see, it seems so."
Su Chen nodded and swung the baseball bat towards Bald Hui's left leg.
"Ah!!!!"
A crackling sound of bone breaking was heard, and Bald Hui fell to the ground, clutching his left leg and rolling in agony!
Bald Hui wanted to dodge, but he realized he simply couldn't!
Xia Qiuru was completely confused by Su Chen; I clearly didn't say anything just now! It was you who mentioned the left leg!
"Is it not?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly as he saw Xia Qiuru's puzzled look.
"No, it seems to be the right leg."
Xia Qiuru hasn't seen the injured person either, so she wasn't sure about the situation.
"Sorry about that, I hit the wrong leg just now," Su Chen apologized to Bald Hui, who was still howling on the ground. "This time I won't make a mistake. Please stretch out your right leg."
Hearing this, Bald Hui felt like he was going to pass out, but the intense pain kept him conscious.
This guy is a freak. You want to break my thigh, and you still want me to stretch it out for you? Are you dumb or am I dumb!
"Come on, stretch it out!" Su Chen coaxingly said, like the neighbor's big boy, "Be good, it's just for a moment, it will be over quickly."
Lying on the ground, Bald Hui wanted to cry without tears; he originally thought he was bad enough, without morals, without shame!
But today he realized that compared to the man in front of him, he was practically a model young man!
Meanwhile, Xia Qiuru couldn't help but smile wryly as she listened to Su Chen's child-soothing words, which reminded her of how doctors coax children during vaccinations.
However, she felt little sympathy for Bald Hui. If it weren't for Su Chen, her own predicament today would have been beyond imagining!
Thinking this, she looked at Su Chen, who was still interacting with Bald Hui, feeling a strange emotion quietly rising within her.
This guy seems quite interesting!
"No, please, don't hit me anymore! I beg you!"
Bald Hui never knew that having a leg broken could be so painful!
"Uh, you're making this difficult for me," Su Chen appeared somewhat troubled, "How about you give me a reason first?"
"I promise you, we'll go with your demolition price,"
Bald Hui suddenly shouted with a glint in his eyes, isn't this what these two came for?
Xia Qiuru was immediately overjoyed, indeed the evil needs the "evil" to grind!
Xia Qiuru was about to agree when Su Chen spoke before her.
"That doesn't sound good! One yuan per square meter isn't so good," Su Chen said somewhat embarrassingly, "How about this, I'll decide. Let's do 1.5 yuan per square meter."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Xia Qiuru was completely stunned and gaped at Su Chen, unable to utter a single word.
Bald Hui's reaction was similar, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at Su Chen, seemingly even forgetting the pain in his leg for a moment.
"Brother, I bought these two properties from the original residents for seven thousand per square meter; your price is practically like giving it away to you for free," Bald Hui lamented.
Actually, Bald Hui wasn't lying—the general cost of relocation in that area was ten thousand per square meter, and Lin Ruoxue had set the price at thirteen thousand to expedite the process.
Bald Hui himself had used various means to acquire two properties from the original residents for seven thousand per square meter, with a total area of 268 square meters, meaning his cost was close to two million.
"What brother? Do I look that old?" Su Chen's face soured upon hearing the other's words, "Besides, what kind of person am I? Am I unreasonable? Why would I let you give it to me for free? Payment is a must, not a cent less."
"As for your claim of seven thousand per square meter, that's simply impossible—you must have been swindled," Su Chen said, his expression softening, "but you must see reason; you can't expect me to bear the loss just because you were deceived."
"I really can't, big..." Bald Hui began to say 'brother' again but quickly caught himself.
"Is that so?" Su Chen sighed softly, raising the baseball bat in his hand slightly, "then there's no choice."
"No, no, I agree, isn't that enough?"
Bald Hui noticed Su Chen's gaze shifting towards his right leg, trembled with fear, and hastily agreed, though his heart was bleeding.
"Alright then, Director Xia, I'll leave the rest to you."
At this moment, Xia Qiuru was completely dumbfounded, not expecting the last two properties' relocation issues to be resolved so suddenly and at a price cheaper than cabbage.
1.5 yuan per square meter, 268 square meters for about 400 yuan—what can 400 yuan do nowadays? It could barely cover a meal at an average restaurant.
Wasn't this practically like giving it away for free? And yet Su Chen had the nerve to act as if he was being generously fair.
In encountering a guy like Su Chen, Bald Hui could only blame his bad luck!
"What, Director Xia, do you think 1.5 yuan is still too high?" Su Chen asked when he noticed Xia Qiuru hadn't reacted.
"No, no, it's fine."
Xia Qiuru quickly pulled out the contract and a pen from her bag, and under Su Chen's watchful eye, Bald Hui signed his name resentfully.
"Alright, let's go."
Xia Qiuru put the signed contract back in her bag and said to Su Chen, while Bald Hui trembled with excitement upon hearing this.
He didn't care about anything else now and just wished this plague would leave quickly, fearful that the other party might change his mind and cause more trouble.
However, the great Murphy's Law tells us, the more people fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
When Su Chen heard Xia Qiuru's words, he gently shook his head:
"Our business isn't finished yet."
"Sir, what else is there?"
Bald Hui, a hulking brute, trembled violently upon hearing Su Chen's words, his eyes filled with terror, looking absurdly like a frightened little animal.
"It's about the compensation, of course."
Su Chen lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly blew the smoke into Bald Hui's face.
"What compensation? How much?"
Bald Hui was completely baffled, "I've already been beaten up like this by you, if there's any compensation, you should be the one compensating me."
"Ten million!"
