chapter 32 Ten thousand yuan per person, hurry up and leave!

At this moment, Ferrid Chu was at a roadside barbecue stand, skewering meat. After a busy day, he was famished. He ordered skewers and pork belly, then sat in a corner, enjoying them with a beer. His gaze fell on a distant scene, and his brows furrowed. In an alley beside a KTV, a woman in a red dress was arguing with a burly man. Surprisingly, this woman was Lorelei You, the chief pharmacist of the Chu Pharmacy. "When are you going to pay us the wages you owe?" Lorelei You questioned the bald, burly man in front of her. She and several other medicine pickers had worked at this KTV for a year, but the boss owed them sixty thousand yuan in wages. Although her income was higher now in the pharmacy, she couldn't ignore this debt. "Whenever you come back to work, I'll pay you," the bald man replied insolently, hands on his hips, his face full of hostility. However, Lorelei You wasn't afraid of his intimidating demeanor. She raised her voice, "We've resigned, and you agreed. Why should we come back to work before you pay us?" "Heh, I heard you all went back to Chu Pharmacy, and that Chu kid even gave you a lot of money. Since that's the case, why are you haggling over a measly sixty thousand with me?" The bald man grew impatient. "Don't talk about sixty thousand, even if it's just one yuan, it's money I earned. You've been dragging this out for so long. Settle the wages today!" Lorelei You was also getting angry. "Haha, I won't give it to you. What can you do about it, huh? Unless you let me have my way once, satisfy me, and if I'm happy, maybe I'll give you the money!" The bald man's gaze fell on Lorelei You's chest, and he said with a smirk. "You're a real thug!" Lorelei You instinctively covered her chest and cursed. "Me, a thug? You all work here, pretending to be innocent every day, never going out with customers. How much money do you think you've cost me? I'd be doing you a favor by not asking for money!" The bald man shouted, then immediately grabbed Lorelei You. "You think you can leave after coming here today? Unless you compensate me for the money I have lost this year, you won't leave my bed!" To prevent Lorelei You from screaming, the bald man tightly covered her mouth, then dragged her into the KTV. His henchmen nearby hurriedly joined in. "I've been thinking about you for a year, and tonight, I finally get to experience it!" The bald man exclaimed excitedly. "I think you should experience what pain really is!" Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind him, startling the bald man. The next moment, he felt his head controlled by a tremendous force. He spun around abruptly and directly smashed his head into the chest of one of his henchmen, half his head piercing into the henchman's chest! "Ah..." The henchman stared in horror as the bald man's head plunged into his own chest. He weakly glanced at Ferrid Chu, then collapsed. "Don't worry, he won't die. At most, he'll be disabled," Ferrid Chu calmly stated, lifting the bald man's head. "Young Master Chu, you're here!" Seeing Ferrid Chu, Lorelei You felt as if she had found a saviour. If the bald man had dragged her inside, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Immediately, she tightly clung to Ferrid Chu's arm. Even though her chest was pressed against his arm, she didn't seem to notice, feeling completely secure. As for the bald man's henchmen, they were so terrified by Ferrid Chu's fighting skills that not a single one dared to step forward. "If you don't attack, will you spare us? If you touch anyone from our Chu Pharmacy again, you're asking for death!" "Splat, splat, splat!" Ferrid Chu's kicks were swift and fierce, instantly shattering the third legs of the bald man's dozen or so henchmen. The scene was filled with cries of pain! Of course, the final kick was no exception for the bald man. "You owe our pharmacy sixty thousand, plus late fees, and compensation for mental distress. Seven hundred thousand won't be too much, right?" Ferrid Chu said calmly. "Seven hundred thousand? Isn't this extortion?" The bald man covered himself, his face contorted in pain, his voice becoming sharp. "Bang!" Ferrid Chu stomped on the bald man's hand, coldly saying, "Seven million!" "I'll give it! I'll give it!" The bald man completely surrendered and quickly had the KTV accountant transfer seven million to Lorelei You. "I'm Ferrid Chu. If you ever want revenge, come find me. If I catch you harming a hair on Lorelei You's head, I'll turn your establishment into ruins!" With a cold statement, Ferrid Chu walked away with Lorelei You, returning to the barbecue stand a hundred meters away and sat down. Throughout, Lorelei You looked at Ferrid Chu like an infatuated fan girl, unable to help but say, "Young Master Chu, you're really handsome!" Ferrid Chu chuckled, "We're both in our twenties, what's the big deal about being handsome or not." Then, he and Lorelei You continued to enjoy their skewers, reminiscing about the interesting stories from the Chu family. "Huh?" Ferrid Chu's phone rang, and it was unexpectedly a call from Juliet Song. "Ferrid Chu, where are you? I have a friend here who wants to meet you." "Your friend wants to meet me? I don't want to meet," Ferrid Chu replied straightforwardly. "Please, he's Vice Chairman Wei from the Nine States Medical Association. He really wants to meet you," Juliet Song quickly revealed Wei Lao's name. This renowned figure was someone whom nobody in Maple City, Spirit Realm, or even the entire Reeb Region would refuse to meet. "I still don't want to meet," Ferrid Chu took a bite of the pork belly, resolute in his refusal. "You..." Juliet Song was so frustrated she didn't know what to say. Blue Wei, how many people wanted to meet him but couldn't, yet Ferrid Chu was directly refusing. "Mr. Chu, hello, I'm Blue Wei. I just saw the pills you refined, and I'm very impressed by your talent. I really want to meet you. I don't know if you'd grant me this favor," Blue Wei practically pleaded. "If you want to meet me, you'll have to come with Song Family's Head, River Song," Ferrid Chu said after taking a sip of beer. At this moment, River Song had already awakened, currently sipping on chicken soup. Seeing his old friend Blue Wei, son Morven Song, and granddaughter Juliet Song rush back in a flurry, he quickly got out of bed. Although he was just starting to recover from a serious illness, he couldn't walk yet. Then, Juliet Song, Blue Wei, and Morven Song followed. Song Family's actions left the people eating barbecue in astonishment. "We're renting out this barbecue stand!" Juliet Song declared loudly. "Do you think you can just take over? We all arrived here first. Who do you think you are!" A diner complained angrily. "One person, ten thousand. Leave now, and you'll each get ten thousand!" Juliet Song took out a thick stack of money. "I'm leaving!" "I'm leaving too!" "I'll leave right away!" Soon, the bustling barbecue stand was emptied, with only Ferrid Chu and Lorelei You left at their table. ..
