When Manager Zheng saw that Mu Jinyu had indeed opened the grand door of the King of the Building, for some reason, he felt a sigh of relief.
'Thank goodness, I didn't really offend him.'
After that, Manager Zheng turned around, looked at Chen Zhiwei who had just jumped out to mock Mu Jinyu and was getting ready to call the police. Seeing his stunned gaze and stiff face, he felt a wave of pity for him.
'He's truly a poor kid blinded by rage.'
"How is this possible, it can't be, I don't believe it…"
Chen Zhiwei stood frozen in place like a statue, his gaze stunned, staring incredulously at the keys swinging in Mu Jinyu's hand, unable to accept the reality.
Then, his eyes reddening, he shouted at Manager Zheng, "He stole the keys, yes...he stole them. He's not the owner of this house... it's impossible for him to be the owner of this house..."
Manager Zheng looked at Chen Zhiwei's frenzied performance with pity in his eyes and said nothing. He gestured with his eyes to the two security guards, who understood and stepped forward to take him away, one on each side.
They were getting ready to drag him away from the area to prevent his raving from infuriating Mu Jinyu and implicating them.
Having been indifferent to Chen Zhiwei all along, Mu Jinyu suddenly spoke up, saying nonchalantly, "This guy is carrying quite a few gifts. He probably sneaked in here to give gifts in exchange for favors or something. You guys should check his story carefully; don't let irrelevant people into the community anymore to disturb the residents."
"Yes!" Manager Zheng quickly assured, patting his chest.
Mu Jinyu didn't say anything more and turned to Wen Rou, "Let's go in and have a look."
Wen Rou responded, and the two of them walked toward the courtyard, not looking back at Chen Zhiwei at all. His comment about her being a money-chaser who was easy to get had completely killed any former classmate sentiment she might have had for him.
"No!"
"Let me go!"
"I'm a relative of Director Wang, you can't treat me like this, I..."
Chen Zhiwei, being dragged away by the two security guards, one on each side, kept struggling and let out a reluctant roar.
…
After a thorough check, Manager Zheng found out that Chen Zhiwei, who tried to look honest, had indeed sneaked in.
He had no entry permit, and no one had vouched for him to allow him entry; he was a complete outsider who had sneaked in to make connections.
Thus, after finding out the truth, Manager Zheng directly and unapologetically kicked him out of Seaview Garden.
Liu Qingyue also left in tears.
She still couldn't accept the reality. Why was Mu Jinyu, that country bumpkin, actually the owner of such an impressive villa? Why was Wen Rou, that woman, not only beautiful and captivating but also attached to a wealthy man who was a hundred times more powerful than hers?!
She was wildly jealous.
But what annoyed her more was that because of Chen Zhiwei's breakdown, they, who had originally sneaked in, were unceremoniously chased out by the security.
Now, the task their boss had given them to deliver gifts to Director Wang, what were they supposed to do?!
When it rains, it pours.
"Ring Ring!"
As Liu Qingyue was wracking her brains about how to make up for it.
Chen Zhiwei's phone began to ring.
With a stunned look, Chen Zhiwei, sitting by the roadside, heard the ringing sound of his phone and reflexively took it out of his pocket, casting a glance at the caller ID.
Manager Zheng…
Seeing the note, Chen Zhiwei shuddered and instantly snapped out of his dazed state, hastily answering the phone.
"Hello, Little Chen, how is it going? Have you gone in yet?"
A calm male voice came from the phone.
Chen Zhiwei had recovered from his frenzied state and, on hearing his leader's words, his heart started to panic, rendering him speechless.
"Hello? Hello, hello…"
Chen Zhiwei's eyes were bloodshot as he swallowed several times, then spoke with difficulty, "Hello, Manager, I am now…"
"You're inside, right?" The male voice on the phone heard Chen Zhiwei's response without contemplating the strangeness in his words and continued to instruct, "I found out that Director Wang has a meeting at one-thirty; he should be coming out. You must remember…"
Manager Zheng's instructions were lengthy, and Chen Zhiwei, in his bewildered state, barely took any of it in, but he did catch the last sentence, "Make sure you get it done, with your capability, I believe you can do it. If you do it well, there'll definitely be a bonus for you."
This trust-filled statement still reached his ears.
Valued by the leadership, just ten minutes earlier, Chen Zhiwei would have felt exhilarated, full of energy, but now these words only added to his panic, making him blurt out, "What if I mess it up?"
"Mess it up?" The male voice on the phone chuckled, saying, "If you mess it up, you're fired, and all the money you skimmed off using work will have to be coughed up back to me. Alright, enough talk, you all hurry up and get the job done."
Assuming Chen Zhiwei was joking, the other party didn't threaten with the truly daunting option of calling the police to lock him up for a few years.
But Chen Zhiwei, not being out of his mind at the moment, certainly picked up on Manager Zheng's implied meaning.
"I understand…" Chen Zhiwei swallowed several times, his voice strained as he spoke.
"Just remember, this is very important; make sure you do a nice job, leave a good impression on Director Wang…"
The call ended.
Chen Zhiwei's eyes were dull and filled with terror as his hand loosened.
"Smack!"
The phone made direct, intimate contact with the ground, the screen shattered.
"It's all over. It's all over…"
Liu Qingyue, who had been eavesdropping right beside Chen Zhiwei's ear, had already heard everything Manager Zheng said. When Chen Zhiwei smashed the phone, she didn't care at all, only feeling darkness before her eyes, endlessly murmuring.
"It's all your fault! You've ruined me!"
Suddenly, Liu Qingyue snapped back to reality, her eyes red with rage, she lunged at Chen Zhiwei, scratching wildly at his face.
"Slap!"
Chen Zhiwei snapped back, his face burning in pain, then he also did not hesitate to slap Liu Qingyue, pushing her away as he yelled, "What are you, crazy? What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? I'm killing you, that's what!"
Liu Qingyue recklessly lunged again, "If it wasn't for your loose mouth, always needling people by calling them country bumpkins, ogling other women because they're beautiful, trying to show off in front of them, would I have been chased out by security now? Would I be failing to get the job done, facing dismissal? Getting dragged down because of your past affairs and going to jail alongside you?"
"Madwoman, if you weren't greedy yourself, would it have come to this? And after all this, you still blame me? Damn, you even dared to scratch my face!"
During the exchange of insults, the two who were already in a messy conflict became sworn enemies and began fighting on the roadside.
The spectacle was quite amusing, causing passersby to stop, take out their phones, and start recording and taking photos.
