Chapter 707: Set Phrases
The man was silent for a moment, as if thinking of something, and then said with some difficulty and heartache, "Then just give me five thousand first, I won’t care about how much more you want."
As soon as the man spoke, Xu Ke had no reaction, but the three people behind him first showed expressions of shock. The man who always touched his belly carefully leaned over to Xu Ke’s side and asked in a low voice, "What kind of cabinet is that that he would ask for as much as five thousand?"
Xu Ke gave him a knowing look and then said a bit reluctantly, "But I still want to see the carvings on the cabinet. Some carvings on the cabinet don’t add value; instead, they may decrease its worth. I’m sincerely willing to buy your cabinet, but you can’t make me do a losing business, right?"
Xu Ke’s words made the man a bit irritated, and he ruffled his hair with a frown, looking at Xu Ke with some complaints, "Then why didn’t you tell me this earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble. Now, I can’t scrape together the five thousand, and I don’t even have enough money for my wedding."
Upon hearing the word "wedding," the corner of Xu Ke’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and the people standing behind him exchanged a glance, unnoticed.
"If you had said earlier that this money is for your wedding, after all, we know each other. Consider this money my gift. However, I didn’t bring cash with me today. Do you need it urgently? If you’re not in a hurry, I’ll get it tomorrow when I go downhill. But if you are in a hurry, I’ll go get it now."
Xu Ke’s attitude made the man feel a bit embarrassed, "I can’t take such a big advantage from you. I can’t let you give me so much money. How about this, you lend me the money, and after I get married, I’ll make you five big cabinets to pay off the debt, okay?"
"We are all brothers, talk of repaying money is too ordinary. Am I getting the money for you now or tomorrow?" Xu Ke asked sincerely.
"Today, I need it tomorrow," the man said without any defensive hesitation.
"Okay, I’ll go get the money for you now. Are you coming with me or waiting for me here?"
"I’ll wait here; I don’t like leaving the village," the man gestured with his hand.
"Alright, now you all take care of my brother here. I’m going to get money for him. Don’t bully my brother while I’m gone," Xu Ke said with a smile.
"Don’t worry, do you think we’re like you? We won’t bully him," the man who always touched his belly chuckled as he said, while the silent man simply grunted and said nothing further. As for the man with glasses, he adjusted his glasses and said to Xu Ke, "I’ll go with you. You’re still not fully healed, and it’s not suitable for you to stay in a posture for long. And I have something to buy as well. Let’s go together and come back together."
The few of them quickly sorted out their positions in front of the man with a few words.
The man with glasses followed Xu Ke out of the dorm, and only after sitting in the car did he relax and let out a long breath, feeling the aching tension in his back.
"You really are composed under pressure, your reaction ability is extraordinary. Do you know how nervous I was when he first came in? I thought he heard everything we said, I didn’t even dare to catch my breath too loudly, thinking about how to cover up this situation. But you smoothed it over with just a few words, not to mention you even extracted their transaction time with a few lines, allowing us to catch these people all at once."
"When this is over, I absolutely have to recommend you for a top award. Honestly, with your abilities, if you weren’t the Xu Family’s Family Head or a billionaire, I would genuinely want to persuade you to join our national intelligence organization and handle some special tasks that require extremely high psychological resilience." The man with glasses spoke with a hint of regret in his tone at this point.
It’s a pity to meet such a promising candidate, but the other’s prestigious background means he cannot join. How can one not feel heartache over this outcome?
Upon hearing the other’s tone, Xu Ke couldn’t help but laugh, "You can introduce me now, if you dare to introduce me, I’ll dare to join."
"Are you serious? You’re not joking with me?" The man with glasses was shocked and asked incredulously upon hearing Xu Ke’s words.
"Which of my words sounded like a joke to you?"
"I think your background itself is a joke to me. You’re so wealthy, wouldn’t it be better to stay home contentedly as a rich man? How could you push yourself into danger?" The man with glasses laughed, still not taking Xu Ke’s words seriously at this moment.
"Every man has a dream of being a hero since childhood, wanting to be someone useful to the nation. To say something cliché, that’s my dream too. You see, I have money, I have fame, how many people my age can reach my status and achievements? Not many. On the outside, I might look quite glamorous, but the feeling of having no rivals is truly lonely. It seems like even though my life is not yet halfway over, I’ve already walked the paths that most people could not have finished in their entire lives. I can arrogantly say I lack nothing now, and my life is becoming empty."
Xu Ke sighed and continued, "Now there’s such a chance in front of me, an opportunity to fulfill my childhood dream, to make my life interesting and purposeful again. Why should I give it up for a bit of money? Why should I give up a chance to serve my country? Why should I give up a chance to make my life exciting again?"
Xu Ke’s series of rhetorical questions left the man with glasses momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond and could only helplessly let out a low laugh, "You, ah, you, truly have a mouth that can render people speechless. If you’re really determined, when this is all over, I’ll introduce you to the special intelligence department. However, it’s necessary to pass a test to successfully join. If you can’t pass the test, there’s nothing that can be done."
"Alright, then thanks for the trouble." Xu Ke said from the passenger seat.
"No problem, no problem."
They chatted a bit more before arriving at the town. One got out to withdraw money from the bank, while the other stayed in the car to call for backup.
The man with glasses seemed to have some background. After Xu Ke got back in the car, the man proactively said to him, "I’ve found the people. They’ll come tonight, setting up layers of ambush around this village. Tonight, we must catch this group all at once."
As soon as the man spoke, Xu Ke had no reaction, but the three people behind him first showed expressions of shock. The man who always touched his belly carefully leaned over to Xu Ke’s side and asked in a low voice, "What kind of cabinet is that that he would ask for as much as five thousand?"
