A man emerged from the factory, a gatekeeper.
He looked to be in his thirties.
His gesture to shoo people away was swift, as if he practiced it daily.
Lin Shuainan's temper flared.
However, Lin Siqi quickly intervened, "Shuainan, don't be impulsive. This person is like this. We parked our car nearby last time too. It's probably someone else coming to see the factory!"
Lin Shuainan remained displeased.
"What distinguished guests? I'm driving a Phaeton. Is this guy blind?"
Clearly, being looked down upon by the other party, Lin Shuainan was very unhappy.
"Hey, who are you calling blind? You're driving a beat-up Volkswagen and pretending to be someone you're not. Hurry up and get lost. Our boss has a bad temper. If he sees you blocking the door, he'll definitely beat you up!"
Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper had good hearing and overheard Lin Shuainan's words, his attitude becoming even more hostile.
"Beat-up Volkswagen, I'll..."
"Shuainan!"
Before Lin Shuainan could unleash a torrent of curses, Ling Feng spoke up!
Lin Shuainan could only respond, "Brother, I know, I won't cause trouble!"
He then turned the car and drove to the side.
Just then, a car actually arrived from behind, it was a Rolls-Royce!
Originally, after Lin Shuainan got out of the car, he wanted to educate the gatekeeper about what a Volkswagen Phaeton was.
But upon seeing their Rolls-Royce Wraith, his mouth twitched. It was better not to say anything!
"Ah, Master Qiu, you've arrived. Hehe, our boss has prepared food and drinks for you inside. He couldn't come out, please don't be displeased!"
The gatekeeper scurried over, acting like a subservient dog.
However, he did not open the gate.
The car window rolled down, revealing a bald man, around fifty years old, with a face full of flesh.
He glanced at the gatekeeper and chuckled, "You brat, stop the nonsense and open the gate quickly!"
Saying that, he actually threw out a stack of money!
It was still sealed, clearly just withdrawn from the bank.
This stack of money was ten thousand yuan!
It was tossed out as a reward!
The gatekeeper quickly scrambled on the ground to pick up the money and pressed the remote.
The gate opened.
"Thank you, Master Qiu, thank you..."
Vroom...
The Rolls-Royce let out a series of exhaust fumes, kicking up dust.
It covered the gatekeeper in dust.
But the gatekeeper's front teeth remained visible, his face constantly wearing a fawning smile.
This ten thousand yuan reward was truly exhilarating.
"Tch, nouveau riche!"
Lin Shuainan scoffed!
Ling Feng, however, frowned slightly.
The person in that car was treated so respectfully by the owner of the factory, meaning they must have known each other before, and likely someone with considerable influence in the vicinity!
Such a person would be a troublesome competitor.
To acquire the factory, they had to intervene before the deal was finalized!
"Shuainan, do we have cash in the car?"
Ling Feng asked.
Lin Shuainan was taken aback, then shook his head repeatedly, "Brother, you're not thinking of giving that guy money too, are you? Ten thousand yuan just to enter? That's too much!"
The gatekeeper, who was counting the money, immediately turned around upon hearing Lin Shuainan's words.
He dismissively curled his lips, "Tch, you give me ten thousand yuan, and I still won't let you in! The person just now was Master Qiu. Who in this entire district doesn't know him? This little money isn't even enough for him to have tea! You poor people should just..."
"You're the poor one!"
Tang Ru, unable to contain her anger, exclaimed.
Seeing Tang Ru, a beautiful woman, being so fierce, the gatekeeper flinched, "Tch, a good man doesn't fight with a woman!"
Slap!
Just as the gatekeeper was about to turn away, a stack of money suddenly appeared at his feet!
A full fifty thousand yuan!
"Siqi, you..." Tang Ru turned to look at Lin Siqi with disbelief!
Ling Feng was also a bit surprised. It was Lin Siqi who threw the money!
Lin Siqi's expression was grim, staring intently at the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper's eyes widened, pointing at the money on the ground, "This, this is for me?"
"Ten thousand didn't get you in, will fifty thousand?"
Lin Siqi said coldly, her demeanor suddenly exuding an air of superiority!
This time, the gatekeeper recognized Lin Siqi, "Ah, you're the beautiful CEO who came this morning! Hehe, you are truly generous. I was blind to look down on you. Please don't hold it against me!"
Slap, slap!
Saying that, the gatekeeper even slapped himself twice.
Then he crouched down and picked up the fifty thousand yuan from the ground.
Only then did he open the gate, "Please, everyone. However, after you go in, if you're negotiating business, it's best to show Master Qiu some respect. After all, hehe, he's a local bully. You all understand these things, I don't need to say more!"
The gatekeeper called out, returning to his guardhouse with a sly grin, extremely pleased.
This money was enough for him to earn for more than half a year. He was truly lucky today!
"Wow, Sister-in-law, I've never seen you so generous before!"
Lin Shuainan was stunned!
"Shuainan, drive in quickly. We don't want this money to be wasted if they finalize the deal!"
Lin Siqi urged him.
After getting into the car, Tang Ru regained her senses, "Siqi, why did you give him so much money?"
"You were so angry, this amount of money wouldn't be enough to resolve it. Moreover, seeing him slap himself and apologize is also a lesson for him. After we take over the factory, we'll fire him, and his long-term meal ticket will be gone. Then it won't be too late to teach him a lesson!"
Lin Siqi said very rationally.
Tang Ru smiled wryly and shook her head, "Siqi, your brain is really getting better and better. Thinking about it this way, we're not losing money at all."
Lin Siqi chuckled, "Are you praising me or mocking me?"
Ling Feng nodded at Lin Siqi, "I feel even more at ease with you handling things this way."
Lin Siqi's pretty face flushed slightly, "Don't worry, I won't let your money be lost."
"Mine is also yours," Ling Feng's words were concise.
"Ugh, so cheesy!" Tang Ru exclaimed coquettishly, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
Lin Siqi then took Ling Feng's arm and whispered, "The owner of this factory is surnamed Hao, his name is Hao Dazhuang. The land here belongs to his family, and he built the factory himself. He originally planned to set up a garment factory, but perhaps his budget was insufficient, so he decided to rent out the factory to cash in. He's likely in urgent need of money!"
Ling Feng nodded slightly, "Yes, it's good that you have this information. I'm just here to take a look."
"No, I mean... this Hao Dazhuang looks at people with a rather lecherous gaze, so Ling Feng, don't be impulsive."
Lin Siqi said somewhat shyly, no longer daring to look up at Ling Feng.
Tang Ru beside them also snorted, "Yes, these people from outside the Fifth Ring in the capital are the most difficult to deal with. They consider themselves great lords. Knowing we have foreign accents, they look at us with blatant contempt! How hateful!"
