Chapter 262 Splitting the Cake
Chapter 262 Splitting the Cake
A lot of them started panicking.
They watched as Master Fu picked up the cake knife and figured that none of them was going to be able to walk out of the club's door tonight. This cake was more like the last thing they would eat before they were executed.
"Jiang Ning, you can cut this cake."
Master Fu suddenly turned to Jiang Ning, who hadn't said a word yet. He smiled and held the knife out at Jiang Ning.
Everyone else in the room was stunned.
Even Lin Yuzhen was surprised.
Wasn't the host always the one who cut the cake? Why was he asking a guest to cut the cake?
She didn't ask, since all these formal occasions were always a little strange to her. The people in this room were also equally strange. Besides Jiang Ning, everything was strange.
Jiang Ning remained seated and was amused that Master Fu wanted him to cut the cake. He laughed quietly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just carry the entire cake off with me?"
Master Fu was still smiling, but the rest of the bosses were at the edge of their seats.
It was beginning!
Were these two tigers finally going to fight?
Was Master Fu going to give up Shengcheng to Jiang Ning? Or were they going to fight it out and defend their own territory?
All the bosses were terrified.
"I'll go with whatever you decide. If you like, you can take the entire thing,” replied Master Fu with a smile.
Jiang Ning got up and took the knife. He looked around and he could see that even though everyone was smiling, they couldn't hide the nervousness in their eyes.
He moved his wrists and the knife moved along with them.
"Since Master Fu wants me to split the cake, then I'm splitting it.”
In no time, he had cut one slice out. Butler Zhao immediately brought a plate over. Jiang Ning put the slice of cake on the plate and held it out at one of the bosses.
"Boss Lin has been in charge of the northwestern part of Shengcheng and you do mostly cultural related businesses. The words on the cake are the most suitable for you. I hope you can continue doing well and make Master Fu happy."
Boss Lin wasn't sure what to do with this sort of treatment. Jiang Ning was seriously splitting the territory?!
And his was the first slice?
He quickly put his wine glass down and walked as quickly as possible to Jiang Ning. He used both hands to take the plate and politely said, "Thank you Mr Jiang! Thank you for your support!"
"This one has some really fresh fruit on it. Boss Guo, you're the one in charge of the farmers in the northeast part. This slice is definitely yours."
Jiang Ning sent another slice out.
Boss Guo also received it with both hands and said politely, "Thank you, Mr Jiang, for your support!"
"And this one is for..."
Jiang Ning cut six slices of the cake and gave a reason for every slice, making all the bosses admire him.
It was clear that Jiang Ning understood them well.
Zhang Cheng started getting nervous. There were only two slices of cake left. After counting everyone present, even if Jiang Ning didn't take any for himself, there were three bosses left. So at least one of them wouldn't get anything.
The other two bosses besides Zhang Cheng were also panicking.
They didn't understand what Jiang Ning meant to do. Did one out of the three of them have to die?
"These last two pieces are about the same, the two of you can take one slice each."
Jiang Ning pointed at the other two bosses. Zhang Cheng was the one without a slice.
Zhang Cheng instantly felt like he had fallen in an abyss.
That feeling of falling into the abyss made his throat feel dry.
He was doomed!
He was really doomed!
But he didn't dare to say anything. Even if Jiang Ning didn't give him anything, he wouldn't dare to say a word.
"Jiang Ning, you're short of one slice."
Lin Yuzhen noticed how awkward Zhang Cheng looked and gently prodded Jiang Ning. There was clearly one more person, so leaving him out was so embarrassing for him.
"Mrs Jiang, it's alright, I don't blame Mr Jiang. Maybe I was standing too far behind and he didn't notice me.”
Zhang Cheng was grateful to Lin Yuzhen, but he continued to smile and even had to find a reason for Jiang Ning.
He really couldn't sit still now.
"Oh dear, Master Fu, I'm so sorry, my math is terrible and now I'm short of one slice,” Jiang Ning smacked his forehead. "I'm so glad my wife reminded me."
"You're short of two," said Master Fu with a smile. "Don't you want one?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
