Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 149: The Beauty Got Angry

Xu Xiangbei followed Gu Xiangyi inside. Before he could see anyone, he heard a very enthusiastic voice saying, "Miss Gu, you’re here, please have a seat."

"President Zhou, hello, sorry to bother you again."

President Zhou, a tall and thin middle-aged man with small eyes, squinted and smiled as he shook hands with Gu Xiangyi. When he saw Xu Xiangbei behind Gu Xiangyi, his smile faded a bit: "Who is this?"

Afraid that Xu Xiangbei might speak out of turn, Gu Xiangyi answered for him, "He’s my driver."

Upon hearing he was a driver, a trace of contempt flashed in President Zhou’s eyes. He held Gu Xiangyi’s hand, inviting her to sit on the sofa, and was reluctant to let go for a long time. Gu Xiangyi pretended to reach for her bag and withdrew her hand from President Zhou’s grasp.

Gu Xiangyi got straight to the point: "President Zhou, do you have any comments on the toy chips from our company?"

A helpless look surfaced on President Zhou’s face: "Our general manager read your chip manual but hasn’t expressed an opinion yet and said we still need to wait."

Gu Xiangyi smiled: "Wait? How long do we have to wait?"

President Zhou sat down beside Gu Xiangyi and gently held her hand again, leering as he said, "How long exactly, I’ll need to ask our general manager. How about we set up a time to have dinner and sing some songs? Maybe while we’re having fun, the general manager might just approve it."

Seeing President Zhou holding Gu Xiangyi’s hand again, Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but get angry, coughing twice and glaring at President Zhou.

Disrupted by Xu Xiangbei, President Zhou’s face turned sullen. Reluctantly, he let go of Gu Xiangyi’s hand.

Xu Xiangbei looked at a calendar printed by Dragon Tiger Group on the wall, which surprisingly featured a portrait of Elder Master Ouyang Zhan, making him curious, he asked, "Who is this?"

President Zhou replied irritably, "Even if I tell you, you wouldn’t know. He’s our company’s chairman, Mr. Ouyang."

Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but smile, realizing that the Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Hall and the Dragon Tiger Group were all owned by Mr. Ouyang. No wonder both had the ’Dragon Tiger’ name.

Xu Xiangbei grinned: "Is Mr. Ouyang called Ouyang Zhan?"

President Zhou was already unimpressed with Xu Xiangbei and snapped impatiently, "Young man, watch your mouth. Our chairman’s name isn’t for a mere driver like you to say."

Xu Xiangbei scoffed: "Pfft, so what if I say it? Aren’t names meant to be said? Judging by your attitude, you’re probably just a vice president at best. What’s so impressive about that?"

President Zhou jumped up arrogantly and said to Gu Xiangyi, "President Gu, your driver is too rude. I suspect the integrity of your company’s employees, and we don’t want to cooperate with your company anymore."

Panicking, Gu Xiangyi kicked Xu Xiangbei and gave him a look, signaling him to stop talking, but Xu Xiangbei didn’t get it, his mind clouded.

"You shameless rascal, do you think you have a nice character? You abuse your authority, using company business as a lure just to take advantage of my wife, touching her hand. If you don’t want to work with us, we don’t want to work with you either."

President Zhou looked disdainful: "Oh, so you’re a couple. No wonder you both lack class. Leave, please, from our company. If you don’t go, I’ll call security."

"President Zhou, please let me explain, he’s just my driver. He’s not very bright and tends to be impulsive. Please, don’t be angry, and forgive him."

"Sorry, we can’t handle your kind. I’m just a small vice president, nothing impressive, so I can only ask you to leave."

Gu Xiangyi couldn’t get a word in edgewise, tears welling up in her eyes out of frustration. She had worked tirelessly for this deal, managing to negotiate to this point with President Zhou, only for Xu Xiangbei to ruin it all.

She sat weakly in a chair, her head throbbing. She wasn’t sure if it was from anger at Xu Xiangbei or the lingering effects of alcohol from the previous day.

"You want to kick us out? Dream on. Which hand did you use to touch my wife’s hand just now?"

Xu Xiangbei stood up with a cold smile and walked toward President Zhou, emanating a strong aura that nearly made President Zhou fall over.

Frightened, President Zhou retreated backward, feeling a chill run up his spine, and hurriedly called security on the phone.

"Security office? This is President Zhou, come up quickly, someone is causing trouble in my office."

President Zhou pretended to threaten Xu Xiangbei, "Kid, what are you trying to do? If you dare lay a finger on me, I won’t let you walk out of here today."

"Fine, I’d love to see how you’ll stop me from leaving."

Xu Xiangbei grabbed President Zhou’s right hand and twisted it lightly with a wicked smile, making President Zhou scream like a slaughtered pig as he fell to the ground, tears flowing from the pain.

Seeing President Zhou writhing in pain on the ground, Gu Xiangyi angrily yelled at Xu Xiangbei, "Enough, stop it. You’ve ruined all my business. Are you happy now?"

Xu Xiangbei softly said, "Doing business doesn’t mean you should let people walk all over you. He was obviously playing you. If he was sincerely interested in doing business with you, he wouldn’t be acting like a creep."

Looking at President Zhou who was still groaning on the ground, Gu Xiangyi strode over. Xu Xiangbei thought Gu Xiangyi was going to help President Zhou, and Zhou also looked at her with pleading eyes.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiangyi used her seven-inch high heel to stomp hard on President Zhou’s hand, making him scream in pain again.

Gu Xiangyi erupted with anger: "Filthy scoundrel, you touch my hand every time I come here. I’m here for business, not for you to touch. Go home and touch your sister!"

Xu Xiangbei chuckled. It was hard not to like this girl. Gu Xiangyi dared to confront Chen Ban City alone, and under pursuit from several men, ran into his bathtub. Such courage is rare for a girl.

Last time, President Qian tried to take advantage of her at a KTV, only to get hit on the head with a bottle by her. Gu Xiangyi may look like a goddess on the outside, but she had a stubborn streak deep down.

At that moment, the office door was flung open, and seven or eight security guards stormed in, brandishing rubber batons.

Xu Xiangbei grinned at Gu Xiangyi, "When we’re together, trouble follows. We came to discuss business, and now it’s turned into a brawl."

Gu Xiangyi was also amused by Xu Xiangbei, chuckling, "You are the jinx people talk about. Being around you brings nothing but bad luck. Since you’re the tough one, I’ll leave these guys to you."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense, like a powder keg ready to explode.

Suddenly, among the security guards, a young guard exclaimed in surprise, "Dr. Xu, it’s you! What are you doing here?"

Xu Xiangbei, about to make a move, stopped when his name was called. He looked in surprise at the young security guard, feeling he looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall where they’d met.

He asked, puzzled, "Who are you? Where have we met?"

The young security guard laughed and introduced himself, "I’m Sun Fei, Ouyang San Ye’s disciple. It’s like the Great Flood hit the Dragon King Temple—one family not recognizing another. I was there at Jiangcheng University and at the martial arts hall when you sparred with Ouyang San Ye. Dr. Xu, by seniority, I should call you Martial Uncle Xu. We’re really fated to meet, your skills are truly admirable."
