The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1634 - 1633: Feeling Guilty

"Of course, of course, you are the boss. There's nothing in this world you can't do. It's precisely because I believe in your strength, Boss, that I dare to think boldly like this. You definitely won't let me down, right?"Zhang Wang looked at Tang Rao with stars in his eyes, as if for Tang Rao to say "I can't do it" would be a crime, an act of great disrespect.

Tang Rao saw all of this, and how could he let Zhang Wang down? Besides, Zhang Wang's idea was really good and made Tang Rao very satisfied.

How can we boost the economy of a street in the shortest time, making it a monotonous shop? Or selling unchanged products?

Neither!

Tang Rao didn't have much time to promote the street or the products he wanted to sell; instead, he needed to create something unique, something that people would talk about and praise after visiting.

"I promise you, even if I can't do it, I'll find a way. Right, once the plan over there is established, rename it to Kao Shan Street and move the Kao Shan Shop there. Anyway, once Kao Shan Street is built, the business around here will gradually dwindle."

Tang Rao was very confident about the Kao Shan Street he decided on with a bang of the desk, even though it wasn't even built yet. He already boasted that this street would eclipse and outshine surrounding shops.

If he were to boast like this in front of others, they'd certainly mock him, but the person in front of him was Zhang Wang, who was a die-hard fan of Tang Rao, supporting whatever Tang Rao said or did. Now, with Tang Rao praising the Kao Shan Street designed by Zhang Wang and showing such confidence, Zhang Wang was even more eager to bow down to Tang Rao's pants and express his loyalty.

"Boss, rest assured, with just a word from you, I'll take care of the street's planning and definitely bring out the most influential brand on the entire North Island for you."

Zhang Wang wanted to take on this task himself, but this time, Tang Rao didn't allow it.

Whether someone is a brother-in-law or a brother, they're still human and need rest. No matter how much Tang Rao exploits labor, he won't leave Zhang Wang without any time at all.

"I'll personally oversee this matter, you just manage the Kao Shan Shop well. I'll give you a raise this month, but if the performance doesn't improve next month, not only won't there be a raise, but I'll deduct your entire pay for this month."

Only Tang Rao could speak so righteously about deducting someone's pay.

Zhang Wang's heart bled as he looked at Tang Rao blankly, realizing that once Tang Rao made up his mind, he wouldn't change it.

This month's performance, by a stroke of luck, was so good that Zhang Wang was questioning reality, but it was just this month. Who could guarantee that next month's performance would be better?

"Boss, you're making things difficult for me. It's fine if you don't let me participate in the new street construction, but putting such pressure on me; if one day I starve to death, it must be because of your severe exploitation."

Zhang Wang argued with Tang Rao, feeling increasingly wronged until one look from Tang Rao silenced him.

It was a look capable of swallowing someone whole, making Tang Rao shiver all over.

Can't he just say a few less words for his own life?

Zhang Wang asked himself, getting a definite internal response, he lowered his head and quietly went to serve customers and sell goods.

Before leaving, Tang Rao, using the familiar Array Mechanism, opened the cabinet and quietly placed some of Fang Jinxiu's latest guns and ammunition inside and sent Zhang Wang a small video on how to use these items through the Illusion City, making it easy for Zhang Wang to understand at a glance.

The entire street ruins were bought by Tang Rao at the lowest price. At the time, Tang Rao said Lao Liu's price was even cheaper than theirs and warned that if they wouldn't sell, he'd leave it all. Nearly all the villagers agreed when they feared he'd leave without taking any land.

Only four or five stubborn households refused when they heard Tang Rao was offering such a low price for their land.

They thought refusing to sell would pressure Tang Rao to raise his offer, but to their surprise, Tang Rao just turned and left without intending to buy any other land. Those determined to sell their land for a better life found their dreams nearly shattered by a few stubborn households, prompting them to block the households' doors, forcing them to realize their mistake and make amends to Tang Rao at the Zijing City Gate, leading him to 'begrudgingly' accept the last land deeds.

By then, Tang Rao had obtained all the land deeds and brought them to the department under Island Master Mansion for registration.

Having acquaintances really helps. When Tang Rao went to register, he specifically asked Bei Lin to give Beiyuan a heads-up. With Beiyuan's status and instruction, registering so many deeds at once, the department staff treated Tang Rao with utmost respect, showing no impatience, let alone causing trouble for him for some perks.

"What, move Wen Rou too?"

Bai Xiaotong naturally knew what Tang Rao was up to lately. When Tang Rao planned, he mentioned to Bai Xiaotong that he wanted to build a Divine Realm Yanren Street. After hearing his idea, Bai Xiaotong found it very practical and even told Tang Rao that she'd be the first to show support once Yanren Street opened. However, Bai Xiaotong didn't know that within this Yanren Street, Tang Rao planned to include such a big business as Wen Rou.

"Yes, you heard me right. I just said, bring Wen Rou in. If the performance isn't good or incurs a loss every month, I'll subsidize it. With such advantageous conditions, I refuse to believe you're not tempted at all."

Tang Rao glanced at his little aunt with disdain.

Clearly, she was already tempted. Did she think Tang Rao couldn't see it?

"It's not that I don't trust you, nephew. It's just that such a good deal, even if you're my nephew, I can't believe you'd genuinely offer such beneficial terms without some hidden agenda."

Having seen her fair share of the world in Wen Rou, Bai Xiaotong became wiser.

"My dear little aunt, you should trust me this time. There's really no ulterior motive. I just don't want Yanren Street to thrive and leave Wen Rou with no business. I'd feel guilty."
