"Who are you?" Manager Ou couldn't help but ask as the young man walked towards them.
However, seeing the newcomer, Liu Shishi's eyes showed a hint of joy.
"Are you alright?" The newcomer was Du Fei. He ignored the gazes of everyone else and walked straight to Liu Shishi's side, asking softly.
After Liu Shishi shook her head, indicating she was fine, Du Fei turned to face Manager Ou and Director Shi.
"Tsk, I wondered why you were so confident. So you brought help. But don't you look at where we are, Sunshine International. Leave obediently, or don't blame us for being rude!" Manager Ou's demeanor was quite feisty.
It was no wonder she was so arrogant. Sunshine International Building belonged to the Sunshine International Group and was the largest office building rental company in Rongcheng.
At this moment, Liu Shishi also briefly explained the situation to Du Fei. Unlike Manager Ou's embellishments, Liu Shishi told the truth, without adding or omitting anything.
"You've scouted this place and plan to rent it as your company's office location?"
"Yes, I'm quite satisfied with both the price and the location. But the most infuriating thing is that I already paid a deposit, and the property manager still rented out the spot I liked to someone else. It's so frustrating." Hearing Du Fei's question, Liu Shishi nodded.
However, Du Fei smiled and said, "Leave this to me. Since you've chosen this place, we'll make it our company's office location."
"Oh my, aren't you afraid of bragging too much? You say you'll rent it and you'll rent it? Hurry up and leave! Sunshine International Building is frequented by high-quality clients. We don't welcome people like you." Manager Ou immediately scoffed when she heard Du Fei say they would choose Sunshine International Building as their office location.
Liu Shishi, angered, was about to argue with her, but Du Fei held her back.
"Manager Ou, isn't it? If you don't believe I can rent this place as an office, how about we make a bet?" Du Fei's next words surprised everyone present.
A bet with her? Is this young man an idiot?
Manager Ou replied, "Fine. If you can rent this place today, I'll do anything you ask. But if you can't, you and your woman will get out of here together!"
Hearing the words "get out," Du Fei's expression instantly turned cold.
"Never mind, Du Fei, let's not stoop to the level of people like her. Let's go." Liu Shishi thought Du Fei was insisting on this because of her. She didn't want him to be embarrassed if they couldn't rent the place, so she took Du Fei's arm and prepared to leave.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at him. Even his woman can't stand his bragging. Alas, there are so many people these days who just talk big and end up getting slapped in the face." Hearing Liu Shishi's words, Manager Ou smirked with even more smugness.
Du Fei knew Liu Shishi was concerned about him. He patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I have it under control."
After speaking, Du Fei took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Mm, okay, I'll wait here then." After a few sentences, Du Fei hung up the phone.
Then, Du Fei pulled Liu Shishi to sit down again. He leisurely picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup for both Liu Shishi and himself.
"Have a sip of water first, there'll be a good show later." Seeing Liu Shishi staring at him blankly, Du Fei pointed to the poured tea.
Before Liu Shishi could pick up the cup, Manager Ou's expression changed. "Have you had enough? Are you here to cause trouble? Guards, escort them out!" Manager Ou had initially thought that Du Fei might know someone in the company when she saw him make a phone call, and perhaps he wanted to communicate with her through them.
Who knew that after Du Fei finished his call, he would just sit down and start drinking tea. This guy was clearly an idiot. Manager Ou began to regret making a bet with him, as it felt like she was lowering herself.
The security guards walked towards Liu Shishi and Du Fei again, intending to drive them away. But as they reached out, Du Fei quickly tapped them twice, and the two security guards immediately clutched their arms and started groaning in pain. It turned out that Du Fei had, with a single movement, struck the acupoints on their arms. The more they exerted themselves or made any forceful movements, the more unbearable the pain became.
"You useless fools, you can't even handle one young man!" Manager Ou, naturally unaware of what had happened to the two security guards, thought they were merely intimidated by Du Fei's gesture. Angrily, she pointed at the guards and started scolding them.
Just as she was yelling, someone rushed over in a hurry. Director Shi inadvertently saw the person and his face changed drastically. He then jogged towards the newcomer.
"Mr. Luo, what brings you here?" It turned out that the person who had just arrived was Luo Hui, the president of Sunshine International Building.
Luo Hui ignored Director Shi and kept scanning the lobby.
"Mr. Luo, are you looking for someone?" Although Luo Hui didn't acknowledge Director Shi, he seemed unfazed. Luo Hui looked around, not finding the person he was looking for, and said to the Director Shi beside him, "Shi Wei, when did you arrive? Have you seen Mr. Du?"
"Mr. Du?" Director Shi was slightly taken aback by Luo Hui's question. Just as he was racking his brains, unable to fathom who this Mr. Du was that President Luo treated with such respect, Du Fei said from the doorway, "I am Du Fei. You must have been called by Mr. Situ, right?"
At this moment, Luo Hui at the entrance's eyes lit up, and he quickly strode over.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Du, hello. I am Luo Hui. My apologies, there was traffic on the way, so I'm a little late." Luo Hui bowed to Du Fei, his attitude as respectful as a primary school student meeting a teacher.
Director Shi, who had rushed over closely behind, was stunned. President Luo was a figure of high status. Yet, this prominent figure had rushed over from afar and was bowing respectfully to this Du Fei as soon as he entered the door. What on earth was going on?
"Luo Hui, right? My girlfriend fancied your Sunshine International Building..." At this point, Du Fei recounted how Liu Shishi had taken a liking to Sunshine International Building, paid a deposit to rent it as an office, and how Manager Ou had rented it to someone else.
As Luo Hui listened, his gaze turned increasingly angry as he looked at Manager Ou beside him. This foolish woman, did she know how much trouble she had brought upon herself? However, Du Fei was speaking, and Luo Hui dared not interrupt him, so he could only glare at Manager Ou intermittently.
