Dragon Head Supreme Chapter 135
Chapter 135: Opportunity? I Don’t Need It!
Boss Hu’s words caused Wang Zhen Dong and Cheng Yong, standing nearby, to be visibly moved.
Both of them were natives of Peaceful City, having been in the game for quite some time. They knew Boss Hu’s situation well and understood that he wasn’t exaggerating.
Looking at the projects Boss Hu had invested in, the annual profits easily reached thirty million. If managed properly, yearly earnings could even hit fifty or sixty million, or more. In this line of business, rent alone consumed a massive chunk of profits. However, Boss Hu owned all the storefronts outright, eliminating the concern of rent costs. The profits were simply staggering.
If things were truly as Boss Hu claimed—where he only took thirty percent of the profits while the rest went to Chen Xue Wen—this would be a deal worth tens of millions. Even if things went poorly, Chen Xue Wen would still make at least twenty million a year. And if managed efficiently, he could bring in thirty to fifty million annually. This was an opportunity falling straight from the sky.
Wang Zhen Dong and Cheng Yong turned their eyes toward Chen Xue Wen, anticipation burning in their gaze. If he accepted these projects, they wouldn’t have to worry about money ever again. Give it two or three years, and they could become multimillionaires—this was far better than running a mere arcade.
Yet, Chen Xue Wen remained calm, silent for a moment before shaking his head.
“I appreciate your kindness, Boss Hu,” he said. “But I’m just a small-time businessman. Handling that many projects is beyond me.”
Boss Hu’s face changed slightly at Chen Xue Wen’s refusal. He leaned in closer and said, “Brother Chen, how much is Electronic Dynasty even worth? All your investments combined barely reach a few million. You’re meant for bigger things, not to be shackled to a small-time joint.”
“Brother Chen, think it over. If you take over my projects, I guarantee you’ll never make less than thirty million a year. If you do, I’ll personally make up the difference! What do you say?”
His words carried even more weight, making it impossible to ignore.
But Chen Xue Wen merely smiled and shook his head again, his rejection firm.
Boss Hu let out a heavy sigh, regret evident in his expression. “Brother Chen, in this world, opportunities are everything. Seizing them can elevate you to unimaginable heights. Miss them, and you may never get another chance like this again!”
Chen Xue Wen simply chuckled, offering no further words.
Before long, the food was served.
Every dish was personally prepared by Boss Hu’s Little Wife—not that she had much choice, with Lai Hou and Li Er Yong keeping a close eye on her in the kitchen.
Still, the quality of the food left much to be desired. Aside from Li Tie Zhu, no one else could stomach it.
Chen Xue Wen took a few bites before setting his chopsticks down.
“Boss Hu, thank you for your hospitality. It’s getting late; we won’t impose any longer.”
With a bright smile, he led the group out the door.
Inside the house, Boss Hu and his Little Wife exchanged glances.
The sound of Chen Xue Wen’s car pulling out of the courtyard barely faded when the woman suddenly stood up, flipping the table over in a fit of rage.
“That bastard Chen! Who does he think he is? Making me cook for him? He’s nothing!” she snarled, trembling with anger. Yet, she didn’t dare to curse him directly, so instead, she turned her fury on Boss Hu.
“You useless old coward! Watching your wife get humiliated, and you don’t even dare to fart? What kind of pathetic man did I marry?!”
“I—”
Before she could finish, Boss Hu abruptly stood up and slapped her across the face.
The slap left her stunned, one hand clutching her cheek as she stared at him in disbelief.
“You… You dare hit me!?”
In all their years together, she had never seen Boss Hu stand up to her.
Back then, with that Local Tyrant backing her up, she would often point at Boss Hu’s nose and curse him out, yet he never dared to say a word in return.
But today, Boss Hu had actually struck her. This had never happened before!
With a twisted expression, Boss Hu bellowed, “So what if I hit you?”
“If you’ve got the guts, call that bastard of yours to back you up!”
The woman’s mouth gaped open, but not a single word came out.
Her man had already been crippled by Chen Xue Wen, leaving her with no support at all.
Seeing her in such a pathetic state, Boss Hu felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
For years, he had wanted to lay hands on this woman, but he never had the courage. Now, finally, he had the upper hand, and nothing could compare to this moment of release!
He jabbed a finger at her and barked, “Pack your things and get the hell out of my house!”
“Tomorrow morning, we’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce!”
The woman’s face turned ashen. She tried to keep her voice sharp but couldn’t hide the fear behind it. “Hu, what did you just say?”
“You… you dare divorce me?”
Boss Hu sneered. “Why wouldn’t I dare?”
In the past, he would never have even considered such a thing. The moment he brought it up, that Local Tyrant would have come knocking, ready to defend her.
But now, the Local Tyrant was gone. She had truly lost her last bit of leverage.
Gritting her teeth, she growled, “Let me tell you something, we are legally married.”
“Divorce? Fine!”
“But I want half of your assets!”
Boss Hu burst into laughter. “Half of my assets? Sure!”
“But all my money has been invested.”
“If you want your share, go ask my business partners for it. See if they’ll give you anything. Hahaha…”
The woman was instantly dumbfounded. Boss Hu’s partners were no joke.
Forget her— even the Local Tyrant wouldn’t dare snatch a dime from those men.
And as a lone woman, she had even less of a say.
Boss Hu leaned in closer, his voice a cold whisper. “Consider this your only warning—don’t even think about refusing the divorce.”
“I have all the evidence of you and that bastard together.”
“If you refuse to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, I’ll take it to court.”
“And when those photos get out, well… that won’t look too good for you.”
“Hahaha…”
Laughing wildly, Boss Hu turned and strode away.
The woman collapsed onto the ground. She knew—this time, she had lost everything.
Meanwhile, Boss Hu walked away with an exhilarated grin. The feeling of turning the tables was simply too good!
…
As Chen Xue Wen and his crew left Boss Hu’s house, Lai Hou kept grumbling, “Man, Boss Hu really got the short end of the stick marrying that woman.”
“Did you see what she cooked? That was some of the worst food I’ve ever tasted in my life!”
Wang Zhen Dong shot him a glare. “Weren’t you supervising in the kitchen the whole time?”
“That means you helped make that mess, so what are you even complaining about?”
Lai Hou was momentarily at a loss for words. Feeling awkward, he turned his head and spotted Li Tie Zhu casually burping and picking his teeth.
With a smack to Li Tie Zhu’s head, Lai Hou cursed, “Damn it, Tie Zhu, were you starving in your past life?”
“How the hell did you manage to eat that garbage?”
Scratching his head in confusion, Li Tie Zhu replied, “I thought it was alright.”
Lai Hou fumed, “Alright, my ass! It tasted worse than shit!”
After a moment of thought, Li Tie Zhu muttered, “I wouldn’t know.”
“I’ve never eaten shit before.”
As soon as he said that, the entire group burst into laughter.
Li Er Yong pointed at Lai Hou, roaring with laughter, “Hou, the fact that you can compare means you’ve tried it before, huh?”
Lai Hou stood there, mouth agape, completely speechless.
This sly monkey had been outwitted in an instant by Tie Zhu’s simple-minded response!
