Chapter 068 Ripping You Off Without Negotiation
Summer Qing was organizing materials in her office when her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing it was an unknown number, she blinked slightly, then pressed the answer button.
However, as she listened to the voice on the other end, this exceptionally beautiful woman began to frown.
After hanging up, Summer Qing thought for a moment, then directly dialed the Marketing Department’s number.
At that moment, Su Rui was sitting alone at his computer commenting on Tang Nilandor’s figure, while Cao Tianping, who had just been caught by Summer Qing watching videos during work hours, didn’t dare to repeat his mistake, but hearing Su Rui’s evaluations, he still felt itchy inside.
Just then, the phone in Marketing Team One rang.
Seeing it was an unfamiliar corporate number, Cao Tianping immediately became attentive, knowing that previously, a call from that number had been from CEO Lin Aoxue! Since Su Rui’s arrival, Marketing Team One had become an area of focus for the group’s leadership!
“Hello, this is Summer Qing, the Chairman’s assistant. Is Su Rui available?” Summer’s voice carried a hint of hesitation.
But Cao Tianping didn’t notice this emotion. When he heard it was Summer Qing, he immediately became excited. Having just been caught watching videos during work hours by this high-ranking assistant to the Chairman, Cao Tianping was eager to improve his image in her eyes. Although Summer Qing wouldn’t pursue the matter, what if she accidentally mentioned it to the Chairman someday? That would be big trouble!
“Assistant Qing, Su Rui is here. May I ask…” Cao Tianping nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken: “Yes, yes, yes, I’ll send him to your office right away!”
After hanging up, Cao Tianping walked over to Su Rui with a strange expression and said: “Assistant Qing is looking for you. She says she needs your help with something.”
Saying this, Cao Tianping couldn’t help feeling dejected. Wasn’t Su Rui the group’s son-in-law? Why was the Chairman’s assistant Summer Qing also frequently looking for him? Could it be that all the few flowers of the group wanted to be planted in his cow dung? Why couldn’t he see what was so special about Su Rui?
“Hold on, let me watch this MV one more time. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I must say Tang Nilandor’s bikini would be better if it were white, it would become semi-transparent when wet.” Su Rui didn’t even look up, appearing like a complete lecher, staring intently at the alluring beauty on the computer screen.
Cao Tianping was speechless. Summer Qing was a great beauty within the company, and what man wouldn’t be captivated upon seeing her? Yet when she actively sought out Su Rui, he actually made her wait. Where was his gentlemanly manner?
Thinking about this, Cao Tianping felt it was such a waste. Why wasn’t Summer Qing asking him for help? If she had, he would have rushed over the moment he hung up the phone!
By the time Su Rui leisurely finished watching Tang Nilandor’s latest MV, more than ten minutes had passed. Only then did he saunter toward Summer Qing’s office.
Summer Qing’s office was next to Lin Fuzhang’s. The transparent office looked clean, spotless, with everything arranged in perfect order. When Su Rui pushed open the door and walked in, Summer Qing was sitting at her desk, intently looking at her computer screen, her delicate features unconsciously radiating a subtle elegance.
Very beautiful, extremely beautiful.
Su Rui was somewhat reluctant to break this wonderful atmosphere, but Summer Qing noticed him after he entered.
Su Rui smiled: “What did you need me for? Are you inviting me to dinner? I’ve still been thinking about that luxurious meal at the Junlan Kaibin.”
“A grand meal at Junlan Kaibin Hotel is definitely no problem, but I need to ask for your help first.”
Summer Qing had been in a daze all morning. The fact that she had obtained an apartment for just sixty thousand yuan was simply unbelievable. Thinking about it now still felt like a dream.
“What’s the matter?” Su Rui noticed the faint worry between Summer Qing’s brows.
“That landlord Li Daqing called me and wants to meet at noon to discuss the apartment, otherwise…” Summer Qing hesitated.
“Otherwise what?”
“Otherwise he’ll harass me at my home every day…” Summer Qing had to repeat Skinny Li Daqing’s original words, which was what worried her most. Li Daqing knew the location of the apartment, and if he came to harass her every day, breaking windows or doors, how could she live in peace?
“These petty people are all like this. They want to use such tactics to make you back down.” Su Rui said with a cold smile.
“So what should we do? Should we resell the apartment?” Summer Qing asked worriedly. After all, she was just a girl, and when faced with such thuggish behavior, she didn’t know what to do.
“Resell it? That won’t do. We must let these people know that there are consequences for doing wrong,” Su Rui said.
“So what do you suggest?”
“Didn’t he ask to meet you at noon? I’ll go with you, so you won’t be afraid.” Su Rui patted his chest and said: “With me there, these things are nothing to worry about.”
“Alright then.” Hearing Su Rui say this, Summer Qing finally felt at ease.
At noon, seeing Su Rui and Summer Qing walking out of the group building side by side, Chen Dawu and his security team began to sigh and lament again.
Walking out of the company with such a hot-bodied beauty made Su Rui feel quite proud.
“We’re meeting at the tea restaurant below the apartment building,” Summer Qing looked at her watch and said: “Let’s take a taxi.”
“Was the meeting place suggested by you or by him?” Su Rui suddenly asked.
“By him… is that okay?”
Summer Qing hesitated for a moment. The tea restaurant was indeed the meeting place suggested by Skinny Li, and she had never been there before.
Since Su Rui asked this way, could there be some trick involved?
“It’s fine,” Su Rui shook his head slightly. Since he was going along, there wouldn’t be much danger in this matter. It’s just that this Skinny Li had such malicious intentions, and today he must be taught a good lesson.
When they arrived at the tea restaurant, they found Skinny Li already waiting at the entrance. When he saw Su Rui appear together with Summer, a flash of hatred crossed his eyes.
Of course, along with this hatred, there was also deep fear.
He was truly afraid of this man who looked harmless but turned into a fierce demon when he got physical. Yesterday, being held upside down in the toilet bowl by this man, that feeling of almost being suffocated and choked was still fresh in his mind!
Especially when he poured half a bottle of Mr. Muscle cleaner into the toilet at the end, that acidic, pungent smell had tortured him all night long!
Even now, he still had to cough violently every few minutes! All because of “Mr. Muscle”!
When Li Daqing saw Su Rui’s smile, he immediately felt the muscles on his face begin to tremble, and that never-dissipated acidic smell began to surge up again!
“Oh, Daqing, it’s been so long, I’ve missed you so much!” Upon seeing Li Daqing, Su Rui immediately walked forward, extended both hands very enthusiastically, grabbed one of his hands, and shook it vigorously!
To outsiders, these two looked like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years!
Summer Qing stood to the side, somewhat confused. She didn’t know what Su Rui was up to, but the scene was indeed quite amusing.
With Su Rui holding his hand like this, Li Daqing’s smile looked worse than crying!
What did he mean by “it’s been so long, I’ve missed you”? It had only been about ten hours since they last met! And he would rather never see this nightmare of a person again in his life!
Hearing Su Rui affectionately call him “Daqing,” Li Daqing couldn’t help but get goosebumps. This wasn’t funny at all; this man brought him nothing but darkness and fear!
However, on second thought, he had brought backup today. He didn’t believe this man could do anything to him now!
“I wonder why Daqing has invited us to lunch today?” Su Rui said with a smile.
“Invited you to lunch?”
Li Daqing almost choked on Su Rui’s words! He had only arranged to meet them to talk, what did he mean by inviting them to lunch? This guy’s face was truly thicker than a city wall!
Looking at this guy, Li Daqing secretly sighed, acknowledging his bad luck. Clearly, even if he didn’t pay, Su Rui definitely wouldn’t spend a penny!
Meeting this guy, how unlucky could he be? It was as if he had used up all the bad luck accumulated over several lifetimes at once!
“Mainly… mainly to discuss the apartment,” Li Daqing stammered when facing Su Rui. All the threatening words he had prepared earlier couldn’t come out.
“The apartment? You’ve already sold it to us, what is there to discuss?” Su Rui waved the bag in his hand: “It’s in black and white, written clearly, and you even pressed your fingerprint! What, are you trying to go back on your word?”
Seeing Su Rui’s stern look, Li Daqing quickly waved his hands, fearing that if this guy got angry, he might hold him upside down in a toilet again!
“I’m not trying to go back on my word, just want to talk, just talk!” Li Daqing was almost in tears!
“What is there to talk about?” Su Rui said: “If you really want to talk with us, you can’t talk about the apartment, otherwise we’ll leave immediately.”
“Fine, fine, fine, we won’t talk about the apartment, we won’t talk about the apartment.”
Li Daqing truly felt that Su Rui was going to be the death of him. He looked at his watch; Su Rui and Summer Qing had arrived earlier than expected, and his brother-in-law, who was a police station chief and was coming to back him up, wouldn’t arrive for another half hour. He needed to keep them here first.
“Well then, if that’s the case, you need to show your sincerity. Treat us to something good for this meal.” Su Rui glanced sideways at Li Daqing, then winked at Summer Qing.
“Good, good, good, absolutely no problem, absolutely no problem!”
Li Daqing knew that once his brother-in-law, the police station chief, arrived, he could basically get the apartment back. Then he’d see how these people would cry!
“Alright then, since Daqing, you’re so sincere, if we don’t accept your sincerity, wouldn’t that make us seem too ungrateful?” Su Rui said with a smile.
Li Daqing looked at Su Rui’s devil-like smile and thought to himself: “This guy, does he even know what shame is!”
