Chapter 1256 - 1256: An Unheard-Of Split Ratio

Just as Dong Min predicted, after the news that "Wei Lan personally sent Xiao Bajia home" and "Qi Guanghe hosted Xiao Bajia" spread quickly...

All the families, businesses, and celebrities in Kyoto couldn't help but spring into action.

There's a fear of someone taking the lead in these matters; once one moves, it influences the others to join in.

So, after having lunch and saying goodbye to Brother Bajia, Pei Dengke had just settled on the sofa, barely warming his seat, when the phone calls started flooding in!

This wasn't unexpected, as he was known to have the closest ties with Xiao Bajia.

Unable to contact Xiao Bajia, all they could do was reach out to him as the middleman.

Initially, Pei Dengke handled the situation with ease, but the increasing number of callers, their escalating levels of influence, and higher status began to overwhelm him.

Moreover, not only Pei Dengke but also his father, Pei Renyong, was affected.

He immediately sent someone to Pei Dengke's villa to inquire about the situation's ins and outs.

Unable to offer any help, Wang Tingwei listened to the callers, whose conversations invariably revolved around Xiao Bajia, with a proudly amused smile.

No wonder, even in the wealth-ridden Kyoto, one could still stir up waves with "that man's" subordinate!

Reflecting carefully, Xiao Bajia is complex and inscrutable, with an abundance of strategies worthy of admiration.

The only flaw is his far too ordinary looks, not even one-tenth of that man's!

If not for this, he'd truly be worth considering.

Thinking of this, Wang Tingwei took a deep breath, feeling it's time to devise a plan to impress 'that man'...

Meanwhile;

Xiao Feng and Hua Ling entered a somewhat dated neighborhood.

"Is it okay to go empty-handed?" Hua Ling held onto Xiao Feng's arm, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"What's wrong with that?" Xiao Feng scolded her: "How come at your young age, you haven't picked up any good habits!

It's only natural for subordinates to seek help from their superiors when in trouble.

Oh, do you have to bring a gift to ask for assistance?"

Just as he finished speaking, the fruit vendor at the entrance smiled and greeted, "Buy some fruit, tasty and affordable!"

"Then pack us a fruit basket," Hua Ling said.

"Alright!" The vendor cheerfully agreed and started preparing.

Not long after, Hua Ling paid and, carrying a fruit basket, returned to the neighborhood.

"The fruit basket is a hundred bucks, let's split it, fifty each?"

"No way!" Xiao Feng immediately refused: "You insisted on buying it, so obviously you should pay. Why should I split it with you?"

Hua Ling immediately put on a pitiful face: "I'm out here struggling all alone, no support, working diligently but not earning much.

A basket of fruit makes my already tight budget even tighter. You, at least, have some financial strength, much wealthier than me.

How about I sell you a pout and you pay for it all?"

Saying this, she held onto Xiao Feng's arm and began to shake it, "Pretty please~"

"Stop!"

Xiao Feng shouted to stop while also halting his steps, frowning sternly, "You're very dangerous."

"Dan-dangerous?"

Seeing Xiao Feng's seriousness, Hua Ling hesitated, then stepped forward, resting her head on Xiao Feng's chest and whispered: "Is someone ambushing us?

How many are there?

Do they have long-range weapons?"

"Get away from me!" Xiao Feng pushed her aside and reprimanded, "Stop playing dumb and stand up straight!"

Hua Ling instinctively stood straight, and Xiao Feng started reprimanding her harshly.

"Look at you, always trying to sell a pout, keep this up, and you'll veer off course!

You start with selling a pout, then you'll sell arms, legs, body, kidneys... "

With full force, Xiao Feng listed all things inconsiderable by legal or moral standards that could be sold.

Hua Ling was stunned, the lines on her face growing darker and more crowded.

Just when she couldn't hold back any longer, a middle-aged man on a bicycle stopped beside them and said to Xiao Feng, "Hey there, mate, if your daughter's disobedient, you should teach her at home.

Doing it out here not only sets a bad example but also puts her in a tough spot."

"Which eye of yours sees me as his daughter?" Hua Ling angrily glared.

Xiao Feng burst out in anger and turned to the middle-aged man, "Listen, did you hear what she said?"

"Calm down, kids in puberty are just like this.

To be honest, my own daughter is disobedient too, skipping school to go to internet cafes, not even coming home at night..."

Before he could finish, Hua Ling furiously interjected: "What kind of father are you?

Can't even control your own daughter!

You speak so casually of her staying out all night, makes you seem like an unfit parent!"

The more Hua Ling spoke, the angrier she got, and she unleashed her wrath on the middle-aged man, criticizing him up one side and down the other until he left dejectedly.

Before leaving, the middle-aged man glanced sympathetically at Xiao Feng and said, "Mate, I thought my daughter was tough to manage, but yours is something else!"

He said, riding off on his bicycle.

And then...

Not even ten meters away, his bike chain fell off...

"Hmph! Serves you right!" Hua Ling grumbled in annoyance.

After the incident, they continued forward.

This time they came to this neighborhood to ask Demon Suppression Action Team's chief Ma Yuliang for a favor.

Not far in, Hua Ling stopped and said, "Wait, asking the chief for help was your idea.

Since you're so particular about splitting things, why should I be the one to represent us?"

"Because... there's profit to be made," Xiao Feng smiled, "Just follow my instructions, and I guarantee you'll earn a decent amount, we can split it ninety-one."

"What?" Hua Ling expressed surprise, "This, this isn't right, just by cooperating, I could get ninety percent profit..."

"What are you thinking, what I meant by ninety-one split is I get ninety, you get one."

"Ha..."

Hua Ling couldn't believe what she heard, she laughed angrily, "So after cooperating all the way, I only get one percent?"

"One percent is quite a lot, considering I'm devising the plan, you're just playing a role."

"Fine, fine!" Hua Ling said angrily, "Now I'm telling you, I don't want even one percent, handle it yourself, goodbye!"

She turned and walked away.

Xiao Feng hurriedly stopped her, "Sky-high asking price, ground-level payback; if ninety-one isn't suitable, how about eight point nine, one point one?"

Hua Ling was stunned; eight point nine... one point one...

This unheard-of split ratio, how on earth did this guy come up with it?
