Chapter 63: Plan

"I'll pick it up! I'll pick it up right now!"

Chen Fugui felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He scrambled over, frantically gathering the scattered bills one by one. After folding them, he carefully held them up to Fang Chen.

"Count it," Fang Chen ordered.

"T-there's no need for that, right? Your money is definitely correct..." Chen Fugui smiled obsequiously.

Fang Chen's eyes sharpened. "I told you to count it clearly!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll count! I'll count!"

Chen Fugui shuddered in fear. With trembling fingers, he quickly and carefully tallied the cash. "One, two, three... Thirty-five thousand in total. It's all here."

After finishing, he counted out five thousand and tried to hand it back to Fang Chen. "Boss, I... I only need thirty thousand. The interest..."

"No need," Fang Chen interrupted. "Keep it."

He stared directly into Chen Fugui's eyes, emphasizing every word. "I'll ask you one last time. Is today's business settled?"
