Chapter 558 – Winning Over Fatty
When Louis spoke, his face exuded confidence. In his view, even if Xiao Shun was formidable, there was no way he could defeat him with his spirit pattern fully activated within ten minutes. That was where his confidence lay.
Observing this, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Haha, I wonder if you’ve heard an old saying from our country.”
“What?” Louis asked, puzzled.
“Striking iron requires one’s own strength!” Xiao Shun declared firmly. “Although I admit your spirit pattern is powerful, you should not forget that external strength is always external. Only when one’s own strength is enhanced, that is the true achievement of a cultivator.”
After hearing Xiao Shun’s words, Louis frowned slightly. His Chinese was very good, so naturally, he understood what Xiao Shun meant.
“Tomorrow night, I will show you what true strength is. I just hope you won’t back out by then,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Zhu Que, who was carving attentively on the side, had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. However, neither Louis nor Xiao Shun noticed this, as it was concealed beneath her flowing hair.
“I never go back on my word.” After giving Xiao Shun a deep look, Louis returned to the house, speaking earnestly.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled helplessly. “Heh, it looks like this kid is going to act stubborn again.”
*Ding dong!*
Suddenly, an urgent doorbell rang inside.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Since Long San’s mother had gone out to buy groceries, Xiao Shun had to go and answer the door himself.
As he opened the door, Fatty’s ingratiating face greeted him. “Haha, boss!”
“Um, how did you get here?” Xiao Shun was speechless.
Fatty didn’t pay much attention to Xiao Shun’s hospitality. He continued, “Didn’t I tell you the day before yesterday that I was going to bring you some cigarettes? I got held up with something yesterday, but as soon as I had time today, I came specifically to give them to you!”
With that, he pointed to the two large boxes at his feet.
As for how he found Xiao Shun’s home, it wasn’t actually a difficult task. The day before, he had received the other’s business card. Early this morning, he followed the card and found Starline Bio, then, with Yao Cen’s introduction, he came here.
It was clear that Yao Cen was very willing to see Xiao Shun make friends with some of the young gentlemen from Harrow, as it would be a great help for their future business development.
“Thank you.” Xiao Shun glanced at the two large boxes by Fatty’s feet and smiled slightly.
Fatty waved his hand and said straightforwardly, “Boss, what’s our relationship? You’re being too polite to me!”
At this point, he paused for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Shun eagerly, “By the way, boss, do you still have those pills? Give me another one. After taking that thing, I feel much better!”
Since he took the “vitality pill” with a try-it-and-see attitude the night before, Fatty felt that his shortness of breath and sweating had diminished a lot. He also didn’t feel as listless as before; his whole body seemed to be filled with vitality.
This experience undoubtedly delighted him, so he spent all of yesterday dealing with the affairs in the company to show his father that he had changed.
“Do you really think that thing is like a piece of candy, something you can just eat at will?” Faced with Fatty’s hopeful gaze, Xiao Shun felt somewhat depressed.
The pills he had given Fatty were not common health pellets. They could rapidly alleviate the symptoms of deficiency of vital energy and weakness of the body, but that was all they could do. They couldn’t cure the root cause. Moreover, this kind of medicine had certain side effects. Long-term use could easily lead to sudden death, and Fatty simply didn’t have the physical fitness to resist the side effects. This was a very dangerous matter.
How could Fatty know Xiao Shun’s true intentions? He thought that Xiao Shun was tactfully indicating the value of the pellets to him, so he said in a very straightforward manner, “Boss, don’t be so polite to me. Just give me a price for each pill!”
“…” Xiao Shun was speechless, feeling a generation gap with these second-generation rich kids.
In the end, under Xiao Shun’s earnest advice, Fatty finally understood that he couldn’t take the pills casually. With a sigh, he complained, “Damn, so in the end, I still have to exercise and eat less?”
Hearing this, Xiao Shun smiled enigmatically. “That’s not the case. The key is whether youwant to get rid of this body fat.”
“What do you mean?” Fatty didn’t understand Xiao Shun’s underlying message and hurriedly asked.
Xiao Shun replied, “I mean if you don’t want to lose weight and just want to improve your health, I can help you eliminate the hidden ailments in your body without doing physical exercises.”
“I’ve had this body fat for over twenty years. If I don’t want it, I can’t just get rid of it. I feel a bit reluctant to part with it, after all, I’m nostalgic,” Fatty said, as he patted his belly, his face filled with reluctance.
This scene was just a pretense; ultimately, he didn’t want to exercise to lose weight, after all, he was lazy!
Xiao Shun knew what was going on in Fatty’s mind, and with a wry smile, he said, “Oh, what a coincidence, I’m also a nostalgic person!”
Hearing this, Fatty laughed and quickly handed a cigarette to Xiao Shun, lighting it for him with a warm smile on his face. “Haha, I hope, boss, that you won’t hesitate to teach me your method!”
Xiao Shun nodded. “I’ll teach you a set of breathing exercises. If you practice it every morning and evening, as long as you persist for a month, your body will naturally start to recover.”
Fatty swiftly took out a pen from his pocket and then pulled out his checkbook, intending to copy Xiao Shun’s set of breathing exercises onto it.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun, feeling embarrassed, said, “You know, even blood brothers keep accounts clear. We… ”
“Alright, alright!” Fatty was very clever. Upon hearing this, he turned the checkbook and waited for Xiao Shun to name his price.
Xiao Shun struggled to hold back his laughter and pretended, “Talking about money hurts relationships. Since you’ve called me boss, how could I possibly ask you for money?”
Hearing this, Fatty couldn’t help but feel moved. All his so-called “friends” in the past were ultimately after his money. But this boss was a bit different; he didn’t mention money at all.
Thinking of this, Fatty patted his chest and said boldly, “Boss, just tell me what you need, as long as it’s something within my ability, I will definitely not refuse!”
I’ve been waiting for you to say that! Xiao Shun suppressed his excitement and said casually, “Here’s the thing. I have a buddy who runs a business association, and he’s encountered some trouble in Harrow.”
