"I'm sorry, sir, it's all our fault. Please don't buy this place!"
Just as Captain Wang was about to greet Er Zhu, Manager Yang bowed respectfully to Er Zhu and pleaded.
Although their Yang family still owned many shopping malls, this one was the largest!
If this mall were sold, their assets would shrink by thirty percent!
This was a blow they could not afford. And the reason for this was that idiot Song Lin!
"I'm sorry, sir, I was blind, I was snobbish, it was all my fault. Please don't hold it against a common person like me, okay?"
Manager Yang was about to have the security guards escort Song Lin out when she saw Song Lin kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Er Zhu and begging for mercy.
Her head bowed so hard it made a loud thud. Er Zhu even felt the floor beneath his feet tremble, yet he remained unmoved!
"I want this place!"
The same words. Manager Yang wanted to refuse, but thinking of Er Zhu's net worth and the Fang family's influence, she could only nod in agreement.
On the side, Li Mei had not yet recovered from her shock. She thought Er Zhu would be arrested, but she didn't expect a police officer to know him!
Er Zhu had only been here once, and he already knew so many people!
"Mr. Wang, I am Wang Xu. You remember me, right?"
While no one was speaking, Wang Xu smiled and greeted Er Zhu. He had been worrying about when he would see Er Zhu again, and unexpectedly, he met him so soon!
"Captain Wang, long time no see!"
Er Zhu nodded slightly, acknowledging his greeting. Wang Xu's eyes almost beamed with joy!
Mr. Wang actually smiled at him!
This was the first time a prominent figure from a wealthy family had smiled at him!
"Mr. Wang, please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer regarding this matter!"
Wang Xu's eyes darted, and he signaled to the police officer beside him. The officer quickly took out handcuffs and walked towards Song Lin.
"Miss, you are suspected of defamation. Please come with us!"
Before Song Lin could react, she felt a chill on her wrist. Her eyes were filled with shock, regret, and fear. She never imagined things would turn out like this!
"Sir, please spare me, sir!"
Song Lin struggled and pleaded loudly, but Er Zhu didn't even glance at her.
If Song Lin had mocked him, he might not have bothered, but since she mocked Li Mei, there was nothing more to say!
"Mr. Wang, you must be busy. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me. I will definitely help!"
After Song Lin was taken away, Wang Xu bowed to Er Zhu again and was about to leave, but at that moment, Er Zhu stopped him.
"The banquet tomorrow night should have many influential figures. You should go too. I'll have Grandpa Fang send you an invitation."
Er Zhu didn't lift his head. He waved to Li Mei and said calmly.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang. My family is also in business, so this invitation is very important to me!"
Wang Xu was stunned. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he clasped his hands together and thanked Er Zhu.
The reason he was trying to please Er Zhu was first, his admiration for his capabilities, and second, to network with influential people through Er Zhu.
He originally thought it would take some time, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon!
"It's just a banquet, nothing major. Consider it my thanks."
Er Zhu smiled slightly, watching Li Mei leisurely pick out clothes, his tone was very calm.
He had attended such banquets countless times. If he hadn't just arrived in Hua City, he wouldn't have bothered.
However, he also knew how important such a banquet was to Wang Xu's family. Perhaps one banquet could elevate their status by a notch!
Seeing Wang Xu's grateful expression, Manager Yang's eyes were filled with envy and regret.
Her father had also wanted to attend the Fang family's banquet, but he couldn't get an invitation even after offering ten million yuan!
Yet, this Mr. Wang casually gave one to the Wang family, who were not even as influential as a third-rate wealthy family!
If she had been more decisive just now, this invitation would have been hers!
Manager Yang took a deep breath, wishing she could slap herself a few times, but it was too late for regrets now.
The contract was quickly signed. The mall had only been open for two hours, and the owner had already changed!
The office area on the top floor of the mall was in an uproar, but after much discussion, no one knew who the new owner was!
As for the Yang family, they were in turmoil. Manager Yang was demoted to the northwest branch for her mistakes, and other prominent families, hearing that the Yang family had offended the Fang family, began to withdraw their investments. The Yang family was in a precarious situation!
Yang Mingsheng, the head of the Yang family, paced back and forth agitatedly. In less than a day, the Yang family had fallen from the ranks of second-rate influential families to third-rate!
"Dad, this matter must be resolved. I heard that Grandpa Fang's distinguished guest is a man. Why don't I try?"
Just as Yang Mingsheng was feeling restless, his youngest daughter, Yang Ling, slowly walked over, a sweet smile on her lips.
Yang Ling was Yang Mingsheng's most beloved daughter and a renowned beauty among the prominent families of Hua City, especially her captivating eyes!
It was rumored that a wealthy young master from the capital had traveled thousands of miles to Hua City just to win a smile from the beauty!
As for the young masters from Hua City's prominent families, they had all fallen at her feet!
"Alright, but don't embarrass our Yang family!"
Yang Mingsheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing his daughter's face, which was hundreds of times more beautiful than a celestial being, he could only nod.
As the saying goes, even heroes are vulnerable to beauty. As long as the boss of the Wang family is a man, he will surely be attracted to my daughter!
"Don't worry, Father. A nouveau riche from a small town isn't worth my sacrificing myself."
Yang Ling curtsied slightly. Thinking of Er Zhu's humble background, her eyes were filled with disdain.
To carry out her plan, she had investigated all of Er Zhu's information.
The richest man in three cities: Willow Town, Lin City, and Guangyuan County!
If other women heard this title, they would undoubtedly try their best to throw themselves at him, but to her, it was not worth mentioning!
"Someone, help me contact Mr. Wang. Tell him that the Yang family wants to apologize to him!"
After sending her father away, Yang Ling put away her smile, her beautiful eyes darting around, a cunning smile appearing on her lips.
Meanwhile, in the Pingshan Villa.
The sofa was covered with clothes Li Mei had bought today, or rather, taken!
These clothes could last a lifetime in Stone Village, but in this bustling metropolis, they were only good for one occasion.
"Sigh... Big cities are such a waste of money. I shouldn't have come if I knew this would happen."
Thinking of this, a hint of melancholy and regret welled up in Li Mei's heart. Although she had seen a lot of the world, at heart, she retained the simplicity of a country person.
"Sister Mei, this little bit of money is nothing. Don't worry about it. Let me help you pick out a dress."
Er Zhu knew what Li Mei was thinking. He pointed to the dress and changed the subject.
