"It's been over ten minutes. When is the person you mentioned arriving? With your kind of demeanor, you don't deserve a villa in our Pinggao Huafu at all!"
"Sister Ru, this person clearly looks like a scammer. I suspect the car parked at the entrance is also rented."
"Exactly. Would a big boss who can afford a thirty-million villa drive themselves? This guy is more like a chauffeur."
"There are too many scams these days. Fortunately, we have Sister Ru's discerning eyes, otherwise Zhou Li would be in serious trouble."
Sister Ru, truly enjoying the drama, dragged over sales consultants from the sales office who weren't currently attending to clients. She even called two security guards to stand behind her.
At this moment, a group of people were all looking at Du Fei with disdain.
In their eyes, Du Fei was clearly a con artist pretending to be rich with a rented car, up to no good.
Zhou Li stood behind the crowd, trying to defend Du Fei. But as soon as she tried to speak, Sister Ru glared at her, making her lower her head.
It couldn't be helped. She was a newcomer who had been there for less than three months, not even out of her probation. Furthermore, Zhou Li needed money to fund her brother's education. At this time, she was naturally afraid of offending Sister Ru and losing her job.
Du Fei watched all this with cold eyes, showing no signs of anger at their dismissive remarks.
Why would an elephant care about the opinions of ants?
Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the sales office.
"Boss."
The manager of the sales office, having just received a call, rushed out of his office.
However, he found it strange. In all this time, the boss had only visited the sales office twice, and both times his secretary had informed him in advance.
The general manager had not notified him of his visit today. Could he be planning a surprise inspection?
This made the sales office manager's nerves taut, fearing any misstep.
However, the boss didn't even glance at him. Instead, he respectfully stepped aside, revealing a man in a suit behind him.
"Who is this person? Even the boss is so respectful towards him?"
The sales office manager was curious, but he knew this wasn't something he should ask.
After the boss led the man in the suit into the lobby, he immediately asked the sales office manager, "Where is Mr. Du?"
"Mr. Du?"
The manager was taken aback. What Mr. Du?
"Boss, may I ask which distinguished guest Mr. Du refers to?"
At the same time, the man in the suit standing beside the boss was looking around.
Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a certain spot, and he quickly walked towards it.
Seeing the man in the suit move, the boss paid no further attention to the sales office manager and hurried to follow.
"You two, escort him out! Be more vigilant when you're on duty in the future. Don't let any riff-raff in!"
Sister Ru stood with her arms crossed, looking down at Du Fei.
The two security guards behind her, after Sister Ru finished speaking, immediately stepped forward, preparing to forcibly remove Du Fei.
"Stop!"
Just then, a loud shout echoed from the back of the crowd.
Soon, someone pushed their way through the crowd and arrived in front of Du Fei.
"I apologize, Mr. Du. I'm late."
The man who had pushed through the crowd was the man in the suit. He approached Du Fei and immediately offered his apologies.
Seeing that Hu Zhipeng, the man in the suit, had finally appeared, Du Fei pointed at Sister Ru, "This lady called me a scammer and said I don't deserve a villa here. Please communicate with her for me."
"How dare you be so disrespectful to Mr. Du? Go to the finance department immediately and settle your salary. You're fired!"
Although Du Fei's tone was devoid of anger, Hu Zhipeng could infer from the words alone how serious the woman's accusations must have been.
So, when he turned around, his expression had become extremely cold.
"Hmph, who do you think you are? You fire me just like that?" Sister Ru sneered, looking at Du Fei, "I say, you're quite amusing. Where did you find..."
"His words are my words! Now! Get out immediately!"
Sister Ru's words were interrupted by an angry roar from behind her.
When everyone turned around, they immediately fell silent. Even Sister Ru froze on the spot upon seeing who was behind her.
"Boss? Why is the boss here?"
The sales office manager was just as stunned as Sister Ru.
What was going on?
His head was spinning.
"B-Boss, I didn't do anything wrong. Why am I being fired? Oh, right, this guy is a scammer. Fortunately, I exposed him, otherwise..."
Sister Ru quickly recovered and immediately tried to explain herself, even wanting to tell the boss that she had caught a scammer for the company.
But the boss pointed at the sales office manager next to him and said, "Are my words no longer effective?"
"I apologize, Boss."
Although the manager still hadn't figured out what was happening, since the boss had spoken, if he didn't act, he would also be packing his bags.
Subsequently, the sales office manager, along with the two security guards who were about to escort Du Fei out, escorted Sister Ru away.
As she was being led away, Sister Ru kept yelling, asking why she was being fired. She truly couldn't understand it.
"Mr. Du, he is the project manager for Pinggao Huafu. Due to a slight oversight on my part earlier, I forgot that villa contracts all require his handling. Please forgive me."
Hu Zhipeng thought to himself that he was lucky to have arrived in time. If he had waited any longer and that ignorant woman had truly enraged Du Fei, he would be in serious trouble.
Seeing Hu Zhipeng's respectful attitude towards Du Fei, the boss also smiled and said, "Mr. Du, my subordinate was too ill-mannered. I hope you will be magnanimous."
Following this, to the astonished gaze of everyone in the sales office, the boss personally produced the contract and handed the key to Villa Number Three to Du Fei.
Then, just as the boss was preparing to respectfully see Du Fei off, he beckoned to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li still silly pointed at herself, as if she couldn't believe Du Fei was calling her.
It wasn't until the boss personally called her that Zhou Li said "Oh" and walked over.
"Boss He, Zhou Li was introducing houses to me earlier. I think she's quite good, very enthusiastic and patient. I believe people like her should be cultivated well."
As soon as Du Fei finished speaking, the boss nodded immediately.
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Du is right. In fact, I've always thought Zhou Li was talented. Look, the sales office is also short of a deputy manager. From now on, Zhou Li, you are the deputy manager of the sales office."
In fact, before today, the boss didn't even know Zhou Li's name.
But since Du Fei praised her so highly, the boss naturally understood his intentions.
If Du Fei was not satisfied, having Zhou Li be the sales manager would also be acceptable, as it made no difference to the boss.
Du Fei told Zhou Li to work hard, and then left the sales office in the company of Hu Zhipeng.
Zhou Li, standing in place, felt as if she were in a dream, unable to believe that she, who had almost been fired by Sister Ru just moments ago, had instantly replaced Sister Ru and become the deputy manager of the sales office.
At this moment, everyone in the sales office looked at Zhou Li with envy and jealousy.
They all felt that Zhou Li had stumbled upon incredible luck.
As for the fired Sister Ru, she was quickly forgotten, her departure marking the end of her influence.
