I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years

Chapter 309: The mediocre abnormal behavior

It was really a bit confusing, because the development process of the situation was completely different from what Tang Jingbin thought!

He did his “homework” before coming to Donghai, and according to what he thought, the person who hurt Tang Xinbao must die. Although Tang Xinbao did not suffer anything in the end, it was related to the face of the Tang family and the face of the big family, which must not be lost!

Everyone knew that Donghai was Li Ruotai’s territory!

Any slightest retreat from the Tang family would be interpreted that the Tang family was afraid of the Li family!

As for the Li family, this matter could not directly implicate Li Ruotai. If Li Ruotai chose to “abandon the car to save the handsome man”, then it’s okay. Li Ruotai would not protect the people below him and to fight the Tang family. He would also give the Tang family enough face, and there was no need to pursue anything further.

But if Li Ruotai wanted to protect people, the Li family would have to pay a certain price. The price might not be high. After negotiation, it might even be just a sum of money and the disappearance of some minor characters.

Money was a trivial matter. Even if it was hundreds of millions, it was still a trivial matter, but it would also affect the face of the Li family!

In the final analysis, this was a matter of face! If this matter was resolved regardless of face, Li Ruotai would directly kowtow to the Tang family and admit his mistake.

It could be solved in an instant!

But this was impossible!

So Tang Jingbin has a prediction of how this matter would develop and what the outcome would be. There are only two possibilities, and he was fully prepared for them.

As for Wu Chen…

Tang Jingbin learned that he was investigated yesterday and no background was found. However, it did not mean that he really had no background. The time was still short and it could not be found normally.

Naturally, there were many things that Tang Jingbin could not find out.

However, the relationship between Wu Chen and Li Ruobing, as well as Li Ruotai’s attitude towards Wu Chen, could be found out at a glance. Tang Jingbin knew that Wu Chen was a capable young man. He could not catch up with Li Ruobing without the ability, let alone be recognized by Li Ruotai as his brother-in-law.

He didn’t know the specific situation, but Tang Jingbin knew that Wu Chen would definitely find ways to mediate this matter, and he was also prepared for this.

And so, he followed his ideas.

He directly gave Wu Chen money to thank Wu Chen for saving Tang Xinbao’s life. Wu Chen would definitely not want it and would shirk it… If he accepted the money and the Tang family returned the favor, it would be difficult for him to reconcile it.

He definitely wouldn’t accept it!

Tang Jingbin even thought that when Wu Chen was evading, he might directly bring the topic to Li Ruotai, and then come up with a mediation excuse.

This was normal!

What the hell is collecting money directly?!

Because it was inferred that Wu Chen would not accept money, in order to express his sincerity of gratitude, he also thought that Wu Chen might ask how much money was in the card. The more money he had, the more likely he wouldn’t accept it, so… Tang Jingbin put a full 50 million into the card!

But Wu Chen didn’t even ask how much money was in the card.

He just accepted!

This caused Tang Jingbin’s long-prepared speeches to be useless all of a sudden. This made Tang Jingbin even subconsciously doubt whether he had overestimated this young man named Wu Chen?

Could it be that Wu Chen doesn’t think so much?

Just give money?

Don’t want to reconcile it?

Isn’t this stupid?

If he uses his identity as Tang Xinbao’s savior well and could mediate this matter to the satisfaction of both parties, then Li Ruobing would definitely favor him more, and Li Ruotai would be more convinced of him.

Even the Li family itself might look at him differently!

The benefits were huge! It could not be compared with just a single amount of money!

How can you miss this opportunity?!

Wait!

No!

Tang Jingbin suddenly felt that Wu Chen might not have thought that way, because Wu Chen’s behavior was abnormal. The “mediocre” behavior of directly collecting money, which seemed to be blinded by money, was actually something ordinary people would not do!

When people face gratitude, especially directly with a bank card like this, they usually ask, dodge, and were polite, without saying any nonsense. But not even using common courtesy, her just accepted the card directly. This was abnormal!

Tang Jingbin had no idea what Wu Chen was thinking.

He felt that there were only two possibilities.

Either Wu Chen was really mediocre and not as capable as he guessed, or he was a little clever. He could take down Li Ruobing… maybe it’s because of his face. Li Ruobing had a weird temper and was a maverick. She looked for anyone who can have reasonable reasons.

Another possibility was that Wu Chen thought about mediating, but there was no good way. He should collect the money first, and then when the Li family lost money, he would us the money to fill in.

It could be considered as a contribution to solving this matter.

Tang Jingbin was a smart man.

He was stunned and could only think of so much.

Although smart people were smart, they all had a problem, that was, sometimes they were misled by their cleverness. Especially people with complex minds, who thought too much, often end up “battling with the air”…

However, Tang Jingbin was not “fighting with the air”!

He had figured out part of Wu Chen’s thoughts, especially at the beginning. Before he saw Wu Chen, he guessed everything correctly. Wu Chen was indeed capable. Wu Chen really wanted to reconcile.

The idea was fine.

But after meeting Wu Chen, Tang Jingbin was affected by Wu Chen’s “abnormal behavior”. Instead, he became confused because he thought too much and couldn’t understand the situation clearly.

And what he didn’t know.

Wu Chen even knew better than himself what kind of person Tang Jingbin was! A bystander knew clearly! Wu Chen understood what Tang Jingbin had done, his personality, and his style of dealing with things!

So…

Wu Chen’s abnormal behavior of directly collecting money, it was specially prepared for a scheming and complicated person like him!

If Tang Jingbin had a simpler mind, Wu Chen would not do this.

The smile on Tang Jingbin’s face froze, but from another perspective, he still kept his smile. Although his expression was wrong, the smile on his face soon “bloomed” again!

“Hahahaha, little brother, it’s so refreshing! There is no procrastination or hypocrisy at all. I really like dealing with such cheerful people!” Tang Jingbin laughed and said with a change of voice, “I was worried before. What if little brother refuse to accept this 50 million, we Tang Family always repays a favor! This is a life-saving favor!”

Tang Jingbin laughed and revealed the amount of money in the card.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Tang Xinbao and Guo Qiqi didn’t react much. They just looked at each other normally. They were simple-minded and didn’t think much.

After all, the life-saving grace, let alone 50 million, or 100 million, was not much in Tang Xinbao’s opinion!

Zhuang Xiaodie, who was sitting on the sofa chair on the other side, changed her expression.

She didn’t have much family background, so she would naturally feel… What a big deal! Bold! Generous! The Tang family was really rich!

Apart from these, Zhuang Xiaodie didn’t feel anything was wrong.

Only Wu Chen felt it.

Tang Jingbin pointed it out deliberately to see his reaction, but Wu Chen… didn’t react, just keep smiling!

Wu Chen, who knew that he had 50 million in his card, had no emotional fluctuations!

Tang Jingbin paid attention to Wu Chen’s expression.

He was not sure whether Wu Chen was pretending to be calm or whether he really didn’t take the 50 million seriously. Tang Jingbin had always been very accurate in identifying people, but when it came to Wu Chen… he couldn’t guess!

“Boss Tang is probably tired. You set off early in the morning to come to Donghai. You probably hasn’t eaten yet…” Wu Chen said to Tang Jingbin with a smile, as if he wanted to entertain Tang Jingbin well after collecting the money.

With that said, Wu Chen glanced at his watch.

Without waiting for Tang Jingbin to say anything, Wu Chen turned around and gestured to Zhuang Xiaodie, “Xiaodie, prepare some lunch. Let’s eat early today. I have something else to do later…”

This was the first time Wu Chen took the initiative to speak. Zhuang Xiaodie had previously taken the initiative to let Zhuang Xiaodie cook.

“Oh, okay, I’ll go get it now…” Zhuang Xiaodie stood up quickly.

Zhuang Xiaodie turned around and was about to go to the kitchen.

At this moment, Wu Chen made an “astonishing” move!

“Wait a minute, Xiaodie.” Wu Chen called to Zhuang Xiaodie, and at the same time took out the card given by Tang Jingbin from his pocket and handed it to Zhuang Xiaodie.

He said again, “Take this card and buy groceries and clothes. The remaining money will be used when you return to Shanghai!”

Wu Chen gave the 50 million card to Zhuang Xiaodie!

The 50 million he just got!

He gave it to Zhuang Xiaodie!

Everyone except Wu Chen was stunned!
