Chapter 370 A Heart Full of Evil! The Eldest Cousin's Greed Leads to a System Beating.
Jiang Family Compound.
Feng Bo, the son of Jiang Mei's eldest aunt, was smiling broadly as he stood close to Jiang Chen.
The weddings grew larger and larger, and the budget snowballed to an astonishing figure.
The potential for profit has attracted many people with ulterior motives.
Feng Bo was the most proactive one.
Today he specially wore a high-quality replica Armani suit that cost a lot of money, with a shiny leather bag tucked under his arm and his hair slicked back.
His face, gaunt from excessive drinking and womanizing, was creased with wrinkles.
He patted his chest and assured Jiang Chen.
"Brother Chen! I heard your wedding is quite grand. Look at all the things you're doing – flowers, supplies, table and chair rentals – wouldn't you feel comfortable leaving them to outsiders?"
Feng Bo was spitting as he spoke.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen! Leave these things to me!"
"I know people all over the county, I've got connections! I guarantee I'll find you the best and cheapest materials!"
"If you hand this job over to me, I can save you at least half the money, if not more! I'll just take a small tip; we're brothers, so let's keep things clear!"
Feng Bo blew loudly, his eyes gleaming with unbridled greed.
He had a very clever plan in mind.
With such a large purchase volume, if he takes a 10% commission at each stage, the money he gets will be enough for him to buy a house and a car in the county town, and he won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life.
Jiang Chen sat in a grand chair in the courtyard, holding a freshly brewed Da Hong Pao tea in his hand.
He didn't even lift his eyelids.
Jiang Chen could tell what Feng Bo was up to from the smell of cheap perfume mixed with the sour stench of speculation on him.
Normally, he would have had Wang Dagou kick this kind of trash out long ago.
But today, he's in a good mood.
He decided to play along with his "clever" cousin and let him experience what human greed is all about.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Jiang Chen slowly blew on the steam from the teacup and took a sip.
He looked up at Feng Bo, his expression indifferent.
Jiang Chen accepted the letter of intent that Feng Bo respectfully handed over; it was a document issued by Feng Bo's shell company.
Jiang Chen flipped through it casually for a moment, then tossed the riddled document onto the stone table beside him.
"My cousin wants to contribute to the family, which is a good thing. As his younger brother, I have no reason not to support him."
"You can take this job."
Jiang Chen spoke slowly.
His tone deepened, and his gaze revealed a chilling pressure that sent shivers down one's spine.
"but……"
"We're brothers, so we need to be upfront about the unpleasant things."
"I can give you the job, but we need to sign an additional performance-based agreement."
"I have only one requirement: all the materials used in the wedding, from flowers to tables and chairs, must be the highest quality available on the market!"
"If, at that time, there is any quality problem with your materials, even if it's just a chair with a missing screw, it will affect my wedding."
"Then you won't get a single penny of payment."
"You must compensate me for all my losses, double the total contract price!"
Feng Bo was taken aback.
But at that moment, his mind was completely occupied by that huge kickback.
In his view, Jiang Chen was just putting on airs and trying to scare people.
What important figures could possibly attend a banquet in the countryside?
They're just a bunch of country bumpkin villagers.
If we just throw something similar together and get by, who can tell the difference between good and bad?
As for those "top-level" requirements, he felt they were just empty words.
Blinded by the enormous profits, Feng Bo agreed without a second thought.
"No problem! Don't worry, Brother Chen!"
"Don't even mention double, even ten times! I'll compensate you! It's all in black and white, let's sign it right now!"
Fearing that Jiang Chen might change his mind, he hastily signed the document and pressed his bright red fingerprint on it.
Feng Bo felt completely relaxed. He took the contract and said goodbye triumphantly, intending to immediately find a buyer for those cheap materials.
The moment Feng Bo signed his name, a mechanical notification sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.
【Ding! 】
[Warning! A malicious solicitor has been detected attempting to sabotage the host's family's grand wedding through fraudulent means!]
[Classified as Level 1 malicious behavior!]
[The "unlucky aura" has been automatically activated and has locked onto its target: Feng Bo!]
[Halo Effect: Before the target completes contract delivery, all their business activities related to the contract will suffer 100% failure! Furthermore, the target will continuously encounter random misfortunes!]
Feng Bo was still immersed in the illusion of getting rich.
He hummed a tune as he stepped out of the Jiang family's gate.
Suddenly, my foot slipped.
He fell flat on his face, landing squarely into a cow dung pit by the roadside.
That was left yesterday, it's not completely dry yet.
A strong aroma immediately enveloped him.
"Pah! Pah, pah, pah!"
Feng Bo scrambled out, his head and face covered in filth.
He cursed inwardly.
"Damn it! This road is so well-maintained, how come there's still a cow dung pit here!"
"But it's alright. Once I've made a fortune, this cow dung is nothing! I'm going to soak in the Aegean Sea!"
He forced himself to run back to the county town.
But the real misfortune has only just begun.
The first thing he did upon returning to the county was to contact a flower merchant in the south.
The other party agreed to provide him with tens of thousands of expensive red roses at a 30% discount.
Feng Bo was overjoyed and immediately paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan.
That same evening, the truck carrying roses suffered a series of inexplicable tire blowouts on the highway.
The entire flower truck was turned into mud during the rollover.
Feng Bo was so heartbroken he almost vomited blood, but he still wanted to win back his losses.
He immediately found a small workshop that produced inexpensive furniture.
After agreeing on the price, he paid a deposit of 200,000 yuan.
That very night, the workshop was shut down due to fire safety issues.
The boss absconded overnight, and Feng Bo's deposit was completely lost.
In just two days, Feng Bo not only failed to earn a single penny, but also lost all his savings.
Unwilling to give up, he took a desperate gamble and borrowed 500,000 from the black market.
As soon as he got the money, he was hit by a tricycle and broke his leg on his way to the bank.
The creditors snatched all 500,000 yuan in cash on the spot.
In the hospital ward, Feng Bo looked at his broken leg and the debt collection messages on his phone.
He completely broke down.
He thought of the agreement in Jiang Chen's hand; it was practically a death warrant.
Disregarding his pride, Feng Bo dragged his broken leg back to Jiangjia Village and knelt before Jiang Chen.
He cried so hard that tears and snot streamed down his face; it was a pitiful sight.
"Brother Chen! Your cousin was wrong! Your cousin was really wrong!"
"I'm not human! I'm an animal! I shouldn't have had such evil thoughts!"
"Please, for the sake of our family, please forgive me this time!"
Jiang Chen sat in the chair, looking down at him with an indifferent expression.
He felt no sympathy whatsoever for this pest that sucked the blood of its family.
He ignored the other person's pleas.
He knew that the combined blow of legal sanctions and the systemic halo was the most profound punishment for such a person.
