Li Junsheng readily agreed and held up two fingers at Chen Dazhu.
"Deal, another two hundred will do."
It was exactly the amount Li Junsheng had given to his second son, Li Guohua.
However, it was clear that Li Junsheng's price was a bit too high.
After he quoted the price, Chen Zhiyuan exclaimed in shock: "Two hundred?! Uncle Li, are you crazy??"
"Who needs a factory certificate for two hundred?? Are you deliberately extorting us?!"
Chen Dazhu didn't stop Chen Zhiyuan from speaking because he also thought it was too much.
He had expected a few dollars or ten dollars would be enough, but Li Junsheng had asked for two hundred!
He could hardly maintain his polite smile.
"Old Li, two hundred is too much... The thousand dollars I gave you are all my life savings. I really can't come up with another two hundred. Can you reduce it?"
Ma Yulian chimed in, "Exactly! Did you work in the factory for so many years for nothing? Don't you have any connections?"
"Charging two hundred for a simple certificate, who's robbing who?"
"If you think it's too much, why don't you go talk to them yourself? See if they'll give you the certificate for two hundred."
Li Junsheng leaned back in his chair, clearly ready to walk away.
Chen Dazhu and Ma Yulian were so angry with him for being so arrogant.
If it weren't for the fact that the factory only recognized him for the job transfer certificate, Ma Yulian would have solved this herself long ago!
The living room atmosphere was tense. Chen Dazhu stared at Li Junsheng, speechless for a moment, and the two of them just stared at each other.
Li Junsheng closed his eyes and rested, unable to stop sneering.
Chen Dazhu had already given him a thousand dollars, how could he just give up halfway?
So Li Junsheng wasn't afraid that he wouldn't give him the two hundred. He boldly gambled with him, knowing he had a sure thing!
It was Chen Zhiyuan who, upon hearing Li Junsheng asking for so much money, pulled a long face and said coldly, "No way, no negotiation on two hundred. Uncle Li, you should give us a new number. If it's really two hundred, we won't do it. Give us back Dad's thousand dollars!"
Chen Zhiyuan was betting that Li Junsheng couldn't come up with another thousand, trying to use this opportunity to make him run another errand for free.
"Do you mean it? Don't you want the job at the machinery factory?" Li Junsheng's lips curled into a faint smile.
Chen Dazhu glared at Chen Zhiyuan, "It's all because of your impatience!"
After scolding Chen Zhiyuan, Chen Dazhu turned to Li Junsheng, "Old Li, don't listen to what Zhiyuan says. Let me think about it."
Then, Chen Dazhu really started weighing the pros and cons of giving up halfway or continuing.
He and Ma Yulian had planned for days to get Li Junsheng's job!
It couldn't be that they couldn't accomplish it at this point, right?
Even though he knew Li Junsheng was extorting them, he couldn't expose it.
There was no choice, they had to beg.
Thinking of this, Chen Dazhu gritted his teeth. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to pay the money.
"Fine, two hundred it is!"
Saying that, Chen Dazhu started gathering money.
The money in the bag under his arm, the loose change in his pockets, including the money stuffed in his socks, he rummaged through them all.
This still wasn't enough for two hundred, so Chen Dazhu started searching Chen Zhiyuan for money.
"Dad! This is my pocket money!"
When Chen Dazhu took money from Chen Zhiyuan, he was still unwilling!
But he couldn't resist Chen Dazhu. Li Junsheng watched Chen Dazhu's actions and realized that two hundred was really his limit.
After much persuasion, Chen Dazhu finally gathered two hundred dollars. He handed a large wad of money to Li Junsheng, his expression not very good!
"Old Li, here's your two hundred. Count it yourself."
Li Junsheng nodded, took the large wad of loose change and counted it. It was indeed two hundred dollars.
After receiving the money, Li Junsheng smiled at Chen Dazhu and said sarcastically, "Good, not worrying about small details, that's talent! No wonder you can get things done, dressing like a big boss!"
Chen Dazhu was all show and no substance, looking like a person but not doing human things.
In his previous life, Chen Dazhu and Ma Yulian had schemed against him, sucking his blood!
Especially after he found out about their affair, Chen Dazhu had tortured him in every way, ultimately killing him.
In this life, Li Junsheng wanted to turn the tables and play the same game with Chen Dazhu!
Using his own methods against him.
But Chen Dazhu, facing Li Junsheng's sarcastic words, seemed distracted. Having invested so much money, he only wanted to get his son the machinery factory job as soon as possible!
Chen Dazhu couldn't help but urge Li Junsheng.
"Old Li, don't delay. Now that you have the money, go get the certificate again."
Li Junsheng put the money in his pocket and said casually, "What's the rush? Everyone's off work now. At least wait for me to eat something and go when it's time to work."
"How can you still have time to eat? This is what time?"
Ma Yulian scolded Li Junsheng, her brows furrowed so tight they could have killed a fly.
Li Junsheng ignored her and went to the kitchen alone, preparing a meal.
He made egg pancakes with batter for himself to eat, regardless of Chen Dazhu and his son's lack of appetite!
The more upset Ma Yulian and Chen Dazhu were, the better Li Junsheng felt.
After eating his fill, Li Junsheng wiped his mouth and finally went to the factory to handle the matter.
Chen Zhiyuan, whether out of urgency or fear that Li Junsheng wouldn't do the job properly, actually wanted to go to the factory with Li Junsheng.
He claimed he wanted to familiarize himself with the environment first!
"Fine, you can go with me."
Li Junsheng agreed to let Chen Zhiyuan follow. After arriving at the factory, he told Chen Zhiyuan to wander around on his own.
He found someone to get a new certificate!
After leaving the personnel director's office, Li Junsheng directly gave the certificate to Chen Zhiyuan.
"Here, keep this certificate safe this time."
Chen Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he got the certificate and immediately went to the personnel director to take over Li Junsheng's position.
As if he was afraid Li Guojun would rush over to stop him at any moment.
Li Junsheng didn't bother with him anymore, thinking about the batch of copper scraps in Chief Zhou's hands. After leaving the factory, Li Junsheng turned to the black market.
He had already spent seven hundred and fifty dollars to buy all the copper scraps from Chief Zhou and needed to quickly sell them to recover his costs!
In his previous life's memories, Li Junsheng knew that there was a powerful broker named Old Blade who specialized in such business at a relatively hidden stall. This person could handle all his goods.
After paying to enter the black market, Li Junsheng approached the hidden stall and stopped, asking in a low voice, "Brother, do you know Old Blade?"
At these words, the stall owner, in his early thirties, looked up and sized up Li Junsheng.
Not only him, but even the people at nearby stalls stared at Li Junsheng, making him feel like he was being watched by a pack of wolves!
Li Junsheng looked back and saw that a few tough-looking young men had already blocked his escape route.
"Brother, I see you don't know the rules of the black market at all! Today, we'll teach you what to pay attention to in the black market."
The stall owner gave a nod to the brother next to him. The brother understood and immediately put a sack over Li Junsheng's head.
Li Junsheng couldn't see anything and could only feel himself being carried away quickly by several people!
After a while, Li Junsheng was pushed into a truck, and the stall owner's voice sounded next to him.
"Brother Blade, this person specifically asked for you by name!"
