Villain: I Quit Being A Good Guy After Reincarnation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After Duan Zhong left the office, he followed Chen Tianming’s directions, but unexpectedly, they didn’t lead him to the restroom.

Looking at the empty space before him, Duan Zhong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

‘Good heavens! Mr. Chen had even provided him with a venue!’

If he didn’t set things straight, he might have difficulty dealing with Mr. Chen today!

Therefore, Duan Zhong took out his phone and called the chairman of the restaurant.

The chairman immediately picked up the call when he saw that it came from Duan Zhong. Before Duan Zhong could speak, he snapped, “How did it go? Has the matter been settled? What does Mr. Chen want?”

Duan Zhong directly reported Chen Tianming’s intentions to the chairman, “Chairman, Mr. Chen feels that the price isn’t very acceptable! So how do you want me to proceed?”

Duan Zhong had just finished speaking when crackling sounds came from the other end of the phone.

The chairman was so angry that he threw everything on his desk. The figure he had given previously was already his lowest price, yet Chen Tianming was still unsatisfied.

‘He doesn’t expect me to give it to him free of cost, does he?’

The chairman cursed in his heart for a long time before saying, “I don’t care how, but you better get this matter settled! I want this investment to go through, but that’s already the lowest price I can offer! The rest is up to you!”

And with that, the chairman hung up his phone. After all, if it wasn’t for Duan Zhong’s brat, he wouldn’t have been forced into a reactive stance and ended up in this sorry situation!

Duan Zhong heard the beeping sound coming from the phone, and a trace of annoyance flashed across his eyes.

‘That man couldn’t oppose the Chen family, so he could only solve this by exploiting a small fry like me.’

‘How amusing!’

Even though he was unhappy with the chairman’s high-handed demand, he knew very well how important this restaurant project was to the Duan family. Therefore, he had to secure this project no matter what!

‘I must get this project, no matter what, even if Duan Fei had to kneel and beg for forgiveness,’ Duan Zhong thought as he walked toward the office again.

When Duan Zhong returned to the office, Duan Fei was on the sofa again; he even took the opportunity to put his feet on the coffee table in front of him, and his feet bounced as he hummed a tune.

Duan Fei appeared to be more comfortable here than at home.

Duan Zhong was already frustrated after the chairman scolded him, and the scene before him was the last straw. He was so furious he didn’t want to pretend anymore and solidly kicked Duan Fei.

If it weren’t for this little rascal, he wouldn’t have to come over to apologize.

He could put up with giving apologies. After all, a lack of forbearance in small matters could upset great plans!

However, judging from how things were going, it was likely that the Duan family would have to make up for the price difference. Any way you look at it, this wouldn’t benefit the Duan family at all.

So when he saw Duan Fei goofing off, he really couldn’t hold in his frustration anymore.

Other kids would help out their parents, but his own son, on the other hand, would be the death of him.

Duan Zhong wished that Duan Fei had never been born. If that were the case, he wouldn’t be in this state.

With that in mind, Duan Zhong couldn’t help but kick Duan Fei a few more times and berate him, “You’re here to apologize, not to enjoy life’s luxuries!”

When Duan Fei heard Duan Zhong’s words, he was filled with incomprehension.

‘What is all this about?’

‘Why doesn’t my father side with me? Why does he side with Chen Tianming, an outsider?’

Duan Fei was confused and thought, ‘Was this because of what I said in the restaurant?’

‘If that’s the case, then my father is too strict. After all, who didn’t put on an act in front of the girl they fancied when they were young?’

Because of this mentality, Duan Fei had difficulty understanding Duan Zhong’s actions.

‘It’s not like he didn’t do similar things when he was pursuing Mum during his youth.’

Although Duan Fei felt resentful, he dared not speak his thoughts.

His father seemed amiable in public but was still very strict regarding Duan Fei’s discipline. If his father knew what he was thinking, he would never be able to live in peace.

After weighing the pros and cons, Duan Fei kept his mouth shut and stood up.

Duan Zhong also stood when he did and bowed slightly to Chen Tianming. “Mr. Chen, I want you to tell me the truth. What’s the price you’re expecting?”

Chen Tianming was surprised; he didn’t think Duan Zhong would get straight to the point so quickly. It seemed that his chat with the chairman of the restaurant didn’t go well.

However, that meant they would probably cave into his demands.

Chen Tianming tapped his fingers on the table but didn’t say anything.

Duan Zhong became flustered when he heard the noise. He honestly didn’t know what Chen Tianming had in mind now.

Duan Zhong anxiously waited for Chen Tianming’s answer, but he couldn’t take it any longer.

He caved and offered a price that he could afford. “Mr. Chen, our chairman can reduce the price by three points at most, and the shares will remain unchanged.”

The three points that Duan Zhong mentioned were tens of millions of yuan, which was already his limit. However, to Chen Tianming, that was merely the income from one of his company’s projects.

When Chen Tianming heard the proposition, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. Duan Zhong’s current offer was much more generous than the price Jiang Bei had to pay to get the restaurant project in his past life.

Moreover, he bought significantly more shares at this price than Jiang Bei had previously owned.

This was a guaranteed profit-making proposal.

Just as Chen Tianming was about to agree to the deal, Duan Zhong mistook his silence for displeasure and spoke up once more. “Mr. Chen, we can reduce the price by 3.5 points at most. We really can’t afford to give you anymore!”

That was a pleasant surprise for Chen Tianming. After all, he didn’t expect Duan Zhong to sacrifice so much for the restaurant.

It seemed that there was more to this restaurant than meets the eye! Tianming wanted to see what secrets lie within the restaurant.

He stood from his office chair and extended his hand toward Duan Zhong. “Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance, Mr. Duan!”

Duan Zhong sighed in relief when he heard Chen Tianming’s words.

‘Anyhow, this crisis is over.’

Therefore, he reached out his hand and held Cheng Tianming’s hand tightly.

“Mr. Chen, it’s a pleasure to work with you!”
