Chapter 432: Bloodline Suppression?

Manager: ???

"The hell? I was just trying to do a good deed, and I actually got fired?"

"What the hell is this?"

"Could it be because of this kid?"

He was instantly filled with rage and was about to step forward to confront Zheng Qian. The latter immediately stopped him and said calmly, "Mr. Wang, in light of your actions just now, I am specifically appointing you as the Senior Operations Manager of this art center. You were just a figurehead before; although you were called a manager, your actual duties were about the same as a security guard. Now, you will be a real manager."

"The monthly salary is 30,000 yuan. Would you like to consider it?"

Manager Wang: ???

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and he couldn't process it for a moment.

"You mean..." He looked at Zheng Qian hesitantly, suddenly thinking of a possibility.

"That's right. I just got off the phone with your boss... well, to be precise, your former boss. It just so happens that he's been having cash flow difficulties recently, which is how I found out this art gallery has been listed for sale for half a year without finding a buyer."

"So, I just took it over."

Zheng Qian said it so nonchalantly.

So much so that, apart from Su Yuanshuang and Wei Rusi, no one believed it was true.

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

Zhang Lingyue couldn't help but clutch her stomach and laugh, unable to resist saying contemptuously, "Who do you think you are? What kind of international joke are you making? Do you know how much this gallery costs? 1.2 billion! Did you buy it in your dreams?"

Zheng Qian shrugged; he wasn't in the mood to argue with a woman at all.

"You... really bought it?"

Wei Rusi furrowed her brows, pulled Zheng Qian aside quietly, and looked at him suspiciously. "Is this for real? Hmm... although I know you can afford this amount, isn't it too much of a coincidence? This kind of real estate is usually held for investment. With the market being so bad right now, why would they sell it so easily?"

Zheng Qian held up his phone.

"Here, I've already had Xia Xixi contact him about the remittance. Since it's been listed for half a year, the contract was already prepared. It's currently being reviewed by the legal department, and my lawyer will come by later to do a final check, and then it'll be OK."

"Your lawyer?"

"You have a lawyer in Shanghu too?"

[Favorability +30]

Hmm? Zheng Qian was stunned. Why did it suddenly increase by so much Favorability? Wasn't it in the single digits before?

Is she really grateful to me, or is it because she likes Yan Churan?

"Hey! Manager Wang, what are you still standing there for? You don't actually believe what he said, do you?" Chen Qingyue furrowed her brows tightly and said coldly, "We signed a contract, and the rent has already been transferred. Be careful, or we'll sue you!"

Manager Wang wanted to speak but hesitated, caught in a dilemma.

He had just called his boss, but the line was always busy, indicating he was occupied.

Although he had been given instructions just now, why did it feel so unreliable? What if this kid was really just bluffing? However, looking at the two beautiful women following him, he didn't seem like an ordinary person, right?

"Um... this..."

"This what? Hurry up and get it done! Do you believe I'll call the police right now?"

Chen Qingyue walked up excitedly and shouted, "My time is precious! I've already arranged a media meet-and-greet for tonight to warm things up! If this affects my art exhibition tomorrow or the day after, can you afford to take responsibility for the delay?"

Manager Wang was already covered in cold sweat at this moment.

He was just an employee; he really didn't want to get involved in this kind of "god-tier" battle.

"Don't worry." Zheng Qian patted his shoulder and checked the time. "Your boss should be here very soon; his home is nearby. The same goes for my lawyer; he just happened to be in the area taking care of some business."

Manager Wang gritted his teeth and nodded.

Thinking that since the boss had called earlier anyway, he would just listen for now.

Anyway, he wouldn't be held responsible for the breach of contract; he wasn't the one who signed the contract with these two girls.

"I..."

Yan Churan's heart trembled; she hadn't expected that her affairs would escalate to such a point. She was kind-natured by default and was truly afraid that because of her, both sides would end up in an irreconcilable conflict and take each other to court.

But, the good thing about Yan Churan was that she wasn't a saint.

Thinking of her sister, she could only clench her fingers tightly, ultimately saying nothing.

She silently hoped in her heart that what Zheng Qian said was true.

She really needed this opportunity, too.

Many friends had been helping her promote it over the past two days, and she expected a lot of traffic to come in over the next day or two. She had high hopes for this.

"Heh, you won't move, right? I'll move it myself!"

Zhang Lingyue felt ruthless in her heart; she gritted her teeth, pushed Manager Wang aside, and was about to rush in.

"Stop, don't move."

Wei Rusi stepped forward and blocked Zhang Lingyue.

A beautiful banker praised even by Wall Street, once she unleashed her full aura, it really made people take notice. Coupled with her tall figure and a cold, yet slightly weary gaze, it made Zhang Lingyue and Chen Qingyue subconsciously stand still.

This had nothing to do with some "shaking of the tiger's body."

If one had to use an analogy, it would be like a girl suddenly seeing her favorite idol male celebrity, and he dominantly tells her to stand still. Hmm... that's probably what it meant! Bloodline suppression!

"You... what are you doing?"

Although Zhang Lingyue had a sharp tongue, she already felt that she might be about to be turned straight into a lesbian.

"Inside are all my good sister's works. If you go in recklessly and break something, what then? Even if you are suspicious, it's not too late to wait a little longer, right? Don't worry, if there are any actual damages in the end, I'll pay for them!"

Wei Rusi, however, was secretly pondering in her heart.

Hmm...

Zheng Qian would probably pay for it, right? Anyway, he's so rich, a few hundred million is just pocket change to him! If that really doesn't work, I'll quietly report it to Jin Lu and let her whisper some sweet nothings in his ear. Yes, that will definitely work.

If all else fails...

If all else fails, I'll just sacrifice my charm and let him hold my hand; that should be fine, right?

No, how can I let a man touch my hand... Oh my, this is bad, I'm getting a mental image. I need to throw it out of my head... throw it out...

[Favorability +1]

[Favorability -1]

[Favorability +1]

[Favorability -1]

...

She said she'd pay, so she'll pay. Why is the Favorability fluctuating so violently?

It's strange to say, but whenever Zheng Qian spoke, Zhang Lingyue and Chen Qingyue would get very excited and want to snap back at him. How should he put it? He always felt like there was a hint of jealousy in there.

Zheng Qian wondered, could they be jealous of me?

But whenever Wei Rusi spoke, they seemed to be deflated, and their arrogance was clearly not as rampant.

Could it really be a matter of bloodline suppression?

"Hmph, you said it yourself! Anyway, it's not like we can't spare this much time. Qingyue, let's go inside and rest. Remember, I'm only giving you an hour and a half. If you exceed that, don't blame me for calling the police directly and going through legal channels!"

Zhang Lingyue dropped a harsh remark and walked inside with Chen Qingyue.
