Did he hear it right?
How could this be possible?
Cen Shen asked, "Miss Ning, may I ask where your luggage is? Can we help you carry it?"
Zhu Ning pointed to the suitcase on the ground. "Thank you for your trouble."
Cen Shen smiled and said it was no trouble. Then he waved to the staff behind him to come forward and carry the suitcase.
Zhao Kuan watched their respectful and attentive manner. It felt as if his worldview had collapsed at this moment. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Hey, are you guys mistaken? How could she possibly afford to live in Jinting Yufu? You can't be looking for the wrong person, right?"
Could it be someone with the same name?
Zhao Kuan felt that he couldn't accept it.
Hearing this, Cen Shen's face sank. Didn't they know their own customers?
"Are you doubting us?"
Zhao Kuan immediately got nervous and quickly waved his hands, saying, "I don't mean that. I'm just afraid that you guys might be deceived and delay important matters. I know the person in front of you. She's just a complete poor person. How could she possibly buy Villa No. 1 in Jinting Yufu? You must have misidentified the person."
He widened his eyes as if he had suddenly realized something. "Did you meet a customer with the same name? Is she impersonating your customer!"
"You mustn't be deceived!"
Hearing this, Zhu Ning said calmly, "Manager Cen, it seems that someone is doubting the legitimacy of my stay in Jinting Yufu."
Cen Shen's face suddenly turned cold. "Which company are you from?"
Zhao Kuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Not going to say?" Cen Shen turned to the people behind him and instructed, "Go and find out which company he's from. After you find out, have a chat with his boss and ask why there's such a low - quality employee in the company."
"Okay."
The person in charge of a large real - estate company has connections everywhere, especially the person in charge of a luxury housing complex like Jinting Yufu.
Sometimes, a casual joke from these people to their boss might cause a devastating blow to his career.
Zhao Kuan only felt cold sweat breaking out on his body, and his lips trembled. He looked at Zhu Ning beside him. His mind was in a turmoil, and his mood was complex and entangled. But suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly calmed down.
"I know," Zhao Kuan said. "They must be the actors you hired to put on a show for you!"
As he said this, he seemed to have discovered some secret of Zhu Ning. The awe on his face disappeared and was replaced by a look of contempt.
"No wonder. A poor person like you couldn't possibly afford to live in Jinting Yufu. It turns out that you spent money to hire actors to save face."
"The acting skills seem pretty good. You even deceived me. You must have spent a lot of money, right? Don't tell me that after hiring them, you won't even be able to afford to eat."
Zhao Kuan sneered contemptuously. Zhu Ning looked at his expression and even wanted to applaud him. Zhao Kuan, if nothing else, was quite quick - witted when it came to wishing ill on others.
But at this moment, Cen Shen's face completely sank.
Was this guy sent by a rival company to cause trouble?
Just as he was dissatisfied, a subordinate came to report that they had found the WeChat of Zhao Kuan's boss.
Zhao Kuan crossed his arms and scoffed. "Keep pretending. Gotta make the show complete, right? Come on, let me see if it's really my boss... Boss!"
He stared wide - eyed at the familiar face of the man on the phone video, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
It was really his boss!
"Zhao Kuan!!"
The man on the phone video looked extremely gloomy.
"What the hell are you doing!"
Wen Zai, the boss of Anju Real Estate Agency, had just finished a deal. During his break, he opened his phone. As soon as he clicked into a group chat, he saw that the Haishi Real Estate Agency group was all talking about how Zhao Kuan from Anju had offended the person in charge of Jinting Yufu, and that the latter was looking for his boss everywhere to settle the score!
Wen Zai quickly added the WeChat of the Jinting Yufu staff. After confirming the person's identity and understanding the ins and outs of the matter, he felt as if the sky had fallen!
How dare Zhao Kuan!
"You're fired! Don't say you're from Anju! There's no such troublemaker in Anju!"
Hearing this, all the color instantly drained from Zhao Kuan's face. His blood ran cold. The young man who claimed to be the person in charge of Jinting Yufu had actually found his boss! That meant that Zhu Ning really owned the property in Jinting Yufu!
He looked up frantically and met Zhu Ning's familiar but expressionless face. Instantly, endless remorse welled up in his heart.
Why on earth did he have to offend her!
Without caring about anything else, Zhao Kuan immediately begged Zhu Ning for mercy. "Xiaoning, no, Miss Ning. I was blind before. I didn't recognize your true status. I spoke without thinking and offended you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me. I have a wife and children to support at home. I can't lose this job!"
Zhu Ning looked at him strangely. "What does it have to do with me? Did I fire you?"
It wasn't her who fired him, but this matter ultimately was because of her!
If he had known earlier that she seemed to be a poor person on the surface but was actually a low - key rich second - generation person who came to experience life and owned property in Jinting Yufu, he would never have offended her!
Zhao Kuan regretted it so much that he could have bitten his own intestines!
"Miss Ning, I was wrong before. Please help me plead with the boss."
Zhu Ning looked at him, snorted, and said, "What good would my words do? Don't you have a lot of friends in the underworld?"
He didn't really have any friends in the underworld. They were just a bunch of good - for - nothing cronies. It was just an empty threat used to scare little girls.
A single Wen Zai could handle him properly. Did he really dare to use knives and guns on people? Don't be ridiculous.
Zhao Kuan wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only plead bitterly with Zhu Ning to show mercy. Zhu Ning felt extremely satisfied looking at his appearance. She snorted and said calmly, "If I remember correctly, you overcharged me for a year's rent."
Zhao Kuan trembled and quickly said, "I'll return the money now. I'll transfer it right away!"
Saying this, he gritted his teeth and transferred 8,400 yuan to Zhu Ning.
The money that she had failed to get back because of her timidity and weakness in the past was now back in her hands. All the haze in Zhu Ning's heart vanished!
It was as if she had been reborn at this moment.
To hell with timidity and cowardice.
From now on, she would never endure silently and swallow all the bitterness again.
Anyone who made her unhappy could just get out of her way!
After receiving the money, Zhu Ning only promised to say a few words for Zhao Kuan.
But whether the boss of Anju would listen was none of her business.
Zhao Kuan had offended the person in charge of Jinting Yufu today, and that was that.
Even if Jinting Yufu didn't care, his career would be difficult in the future.
Everyone would weigh the pros and cons, especially bosses.
After packing up, Cen Shen drove a black stretched Lincoln to escort Zhu Ning to the villa in Jinting Yufu.
Jinting Yufu covered a large area. Just the Villa No. 1 that she owned covered an area of 1,000 square meters.
The property gate of the villa was grand and magnificent, majestic and solemn. Just looking at it from the outside, it gave people a sense of awe that the people living here must be extraordinary.
The Lincoln stopped in front of the gate. Cen Shen got out of the car respectfully and opened the door. In front of the gate, the property staff in straight suits stood in two rows. After seeing Zhu Ning coming, they all bowed in unison.
"Welcome home, Miss!"
