Chapter 1801: Shocked

Zhang Penbai glared at his underling and thought. How could this person have so little insight? I didn’t realize it previously. Should I replace him in the future?

Is the boss’ boss someone he can know casually? Thinking back, if it wasn’t for a coincidence, I wouldn’t have any contact with Brother Yang.

That underling didn’t dare to say anything. He carefully accelerated the car, all the way until they arrived in front of the villa at the Immortal Resort.

Yang Ming closed the room door, ignoring Sui Yuemin and the waiter outside. He took Jing Xiaolu’s hand and walked to the bed, then used the remote to turn on the TV.

“Yang Ming, why are you agreeing to give him the money? It’s not like your usual style?” Jing Xiaolu looked at Yang Ming with a doubtful expression. Yang Ming seemed a bit cowardly at the moment compared to his previous ruthlessness towards Yu Xiangde and his display of strength at the barbeque restaurant. He let people send money here without argument.

“Someone tried to sell us bed sheets for a hundred thousand yuan, and they also said that we could just not buy it. We only have to return the bedsheets. We can’t say it’s a forced transaction, right?” Yang Ming spread his hands as he explained to Jing Xiaolu, “We want to buy it ourselves. How can we not let them raise the price?”

“But they are extorting!” Jing Xiaolu was quite dissatisfied with the price of one hundred thousand yuan. It was obvious that she was a bit unwilling to buy the bedsheet. “Yang Ming, let’s return the bed sheet to him.”

“Return it? How could I do that? Isn’t it something memorable?” Yang Ming laughed.

“That … It’s nothing. It’s enough as long as you and I know and keep it in our hearts.” Jing Xiaolu continued, ” It’s better to use the one hundred thousand yuan to buy me some mink coats! I don’t even have one until now!”

“…” Yang Ming was a little speechless after hearing Jing Xiaolu’s words, “Discounting the revenue from the shares, isn’t your monthly salary alone already in the tens of thousands?”

“You aren’t even willing to do that!” Jing Xiaolu said, “I’m just this stingy. I can’t change it!”

“Then why didn’t you feel bad when I took you to buy clothes?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly after hearing her.

“It doesn’t feel the same!” Jing Xiaolu said, “Anyway, I think using a hundred thousand yuan to buy a damaged bedsheet makes me feel like a fool. It’s not worth it.”

“We’ll see. When the money comes, Sui Yuemin might not even dare to accept it.” Yang Ming felt that he hadn’t discovered it previously, but wasn’t Jing Xiaolu actually too cute?

Previously, Yang Ming felt that Jing Xiaolu was a girl who worshipped money. But now it seemed that it was simply a facade. She was actually a very petty girl on the inside.

Alas, it was not surprising after thinking of her family background. She had a sick grandma. Jing Xiaolu used to place more importance on wealth than her life, but the money that she managed to collect was all used to pay her grandma’s medical bills.

One could say that Jing Xiaolu’s greed for money was a consequence of her family’s conditions. Although she had money now, her calculative and stingy mentality had remained, causing the current situation.

She had a complex personality due to her family’s complicated environment, the need to carry the family’s burden and mingling with the underworld society from a young age.

Being vain but stingy at the same time seemed contradictory. But after coming round to the idea, it didn’t feel like anything strange.

“Won’t dare to take it? What do you mean?” Jing Xiaolu was a bit stunned after hearing Yang Ming’s explanation. “Sui Yuemin seemed like he wouldn’t give up if he doesn’t get the money today. How could he not take it?”

“It’s not easy to explain. You’ll know once you see it later.” Yang Ming laughed.

Yang Ming’s mobile phone rang just as he said it. He took out the mobile phone and glanced at it. TIt was an unknown number. Maybe Zhang Penbai had arrived.

Yang Ming answered the phone, “Hello.”

“Brother Yang, I’m Zhang Penbai. I’ve reached the bottom of the Immortal Resort’s villa building.” Zhang Penbai knew that Yang Ming didn’t like people who talked a lot, without getting to the point. So he spoke concisely.

“Oh, it’s you. Come on up. I’m in room 307,” said Yang Ming.

“Okay, I’ll go up now.” Zhang Penbai saw that Yang Ming didn’t seem to be dissatisfied with his arrival time and was relieved in his heart.

He had arrived here as fast as possible. But because the mountain road of West Star Mountain was not very easy to travel at night, it still took a while. He was afraid that Yang Ming would be impatient, so he took the initiative to call Yang Ming. Seeing that nothing was amiss, he felt relieved.

Zhang Penbai carried a bag of money, and went upstairs with his underling.

He took the elevator to the third floor. As soon as he came out, he saw Sui Yuemin and a waiter standing not far away. Zhang Penbai froze for a while. What was Sui Yuemin doing here in the middle of the night?

However, Zhang Penbai had something important to do today. He wasn’t willing to be delayed because of these little things, so he ignored Sui Yuemin and went to Room 307.

Originally, Sui Yuemin didn’t notice Zhang Penbai as he was standing sideways. Zhang Penbai didn’t care about this. However, when Zhang Penbai walked beside Sui Yuemin, he suddenly found that Sui Yuemin was standing at Room 307’s door.

As the saying goes, good dogs don’t stand in the way. Zhang Penbai immediately became angry, but he didn’t want to be too arrogant as he did not want to leave a bad impression on Yang Ming in the room. He patted Sui Yuemin’s back and said coldly, “Get out of my way!”

Sui Yuemin was so annoyed that Yang Ming shut him out without giving him face. Sui Yuemin still held in a lot of repressed grievances because of Sui Guangqi. He didn’t know who Yang Ming’s backer was but believed that Yang Ming was so arrogant because of his identity as Sui Guiangqi’s classmate.

At this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder and asked him to make way. This was his territory – the Immortal Resort! Who would be so bold to make a Manager like him give way?

“What do you mean by make way? Can’t you pass from the side? Is this road yours?” Of course Sui Yuemin was furious! In fact, Sui Yuemin’s way of questioning was quite thoughtful. If the person said that the road was his own, he could be arrogant and take out his business card to let the other party know that he was the resort’s owner.

Zhang Penbai was a little stunned by Sui Yuemin’s answer! Zhang Penbai had something today and didn’t want to talk to Sui Yuemin. He didn’t care about Sui Yuemin nor did he make a fuss about Sui Yuemin not saying hello despite being near him.

However, Sui Yuemin started being arrogant! He actually asked me whose road this was. Did Sui Yuemin take the wrong medicine?

However, before Zhang Penbai could get angry, his underling was unwilling. He and Zhang Penbai had troubled Sui Yuemin a lot, so he was insensibly upset with Sui Yuemin. He grabbed the back of Sui Yuemin’s collar, “Did you go blind? Brother Bai was giving you face by asking you to make way, and you actually asked who the road belonged to?”

“Ah!” Sui Yuemin was pulled back by Zhang Penbai’s underling. He was about to get angry, but he was shocked when he heard the name Brother Bai! When he turned his head, he didn’t just see Zhang Penbai! He also saw one of Zhang Penbai’s underlings who would always trouble him!

Sui Yuemin was immediately a little dumbfounded. Why did Zhang Penbai come with his underling in the middle of the night? Wait … Zhang Penbai… Sui Yuemin suddenly thought of something. When Yang Ming made the phone call previously, he mentioned a person called Zhang Penbai would send the money over. Could it be that the Zhang Penbai he mentioned is this Zhang Penbai?

At this moment, even if Sui Yuemin was stupid, he probably understood that Zhang Penbai was indeed the Zhang Penbai! The Zhang Penbai, who had done something here. The Zhang Penbai that he never dared to offend ever again.

“Brother Bai, you … Why are you here?” Sui Yuemin subconsciously asked while babbling. Although he had already probably guessed the reason, he still had some hope and prayed that it was just an accident that Zhang Penbai had come here. He hoped that he wasn’t the Zhang Penbai that Yang Ming had called!

“I’m here to send money to my big boss. I don’t have time to take care of you now. But you better remember that this incident won’t be finished just like this.” Zhang Penbai glared at Sui Yuemin. He then looked at his underling and said, “Let him go first. We don’t want to let Brother Yang hear us quarreling at the door. It would be bad if Brother Yang heard it.”

Chapter 1802: Leave!

“Yes!” The underling listened to Zhang Penbai’s command, and quickly let go. But he warned, “This time we have some serious business to do. I’ll spare you for now. Get out of my sight.”

“This …” Sui Yuemin really didn’t dare to leave at this moment. The reason that Zhang Penbai came was obvious now. As Zhang Penbai said, he came to send money to his big boss. Now as he was at room 307’s door, and he was also called Zhang Penbai. It is obvious who the boss is… Why am I so unlucky?

Sui Yuemin knew that even if he ran off, he couldn’t escape this forever. Would Zhang Penbai forgive me if he knew that I came here to extort Yang Ming? When he thought of this, Sui Yuemin decided he might as well stay here and weather the coming storm. It would be better than escaping.

For now, it would be better to admit his mistake in front of Yang Ming instead. If Zhang Penbai only listened to Yang Ming’s words, he might change his mind if Sui Yuemin escaped. By then, the resort would be in chaos.

Sui Yuemin regretted this matter. Why did I have to be so lowly and make the staff extort the one hundred thousand no matter what? Am I really short of one hundred thousand yuan? When one is unlucky, everything can go wrong. I really have been the victim of a series of unfortunate events over the past few days.

“What? You don’t want to leave?” Zhang Penbai saw Sui Yuemin standing still at the door while muttering to himself. It seemed like he didn’t want to leave. Zhang Penbai instantly became angry. Are you courting death?

“No, no … I came to this room to find someone …” Sui Yuemin hurriedly explained. He didn’t want Zhang Penbai to misunderstand anything.

“Oh? Did you come to visit Brother Yang too?” Zhang Penbai froze.

“Yes, yes!” Sui Yuemin nodded quickly.

“Ah…” Zhang Penbai was startled. He didn’t expect Sui Yuemin to come to meet Yang Ming. Was he also summoned by Yang Ming? Does he know Yang Ming?

Zhang Penbai’s heart suddenly tensed when thought of this! He couldn’t figure out what the relationship between Sui Yuemin and Yang Ming was. If these two people had a good relationship, his previous attitude would get him into trouble. If Yang Ming comes to know, wouldn’t I be dead?

“Brother Sui, haha, my little Qiangzi was not sensible before and offended you.” Zhang Penbai said while patting his underling on the back of his head, “Why don’t you apologize to Brother Sui?”

“Ah... yes!” The underling didn’t know why Zhang Penbai had suddenly changed his tone, but he naturally couldn’t refute Zhang Penbai’s words. So he quickly said, “Brother Sui, I’m sorry!”

“Tsk, I call him Brother Sui and you also call him Brother Sui?” Zhang Penbai anxiously patted his underling’s head again, scolding, “Do you not have a brain?”

“Yes, President Sui,” The underling said quickly.

Sui Yuemin was suddenly overwhelmed by Zhang Penbai’s sudden change. How come he is suddenly respectful to me? What the hell is going on?

However, Sui Yuemin was not stupid. He could pocket money under Sui Yuejin’s eyes for so many years. Naturally, he knew his ways. He hesitated a little, and understood why Zhang Penbai was behaving like this. The reason was simple. Just now, he mentioned that he also wanted to find someone in the room. Zhang Penbai had obviously mistakenly thought that he had a degree of relationship with Yang Ming in the room. Zhang Penbai wasn’t sure if Sui Yuemin was Yang Ming’s guest, so his attitude underwent a hundred eighty-degree change.

However, although Zhang Penbai misunderstood, Sui Yuemin didn’t dare to accept it. But it was also difficult to explain, so he said bitterly, “You’re too polite. Just call me Old Sui.”

“How is that possible!?” Zhang Penbai said with a smile, “Let’s go in together, then?”

Zhang Penbai was afraid Yang Ming would be in a hurry, and it wasn’t appropriate to delay Sui Yuemin at the door. So he quickly proposed to enter the room.

“Okay…” Sui Yuemin nodded awkwardly. He wasn’t used to Zhang Penbai’s politeness, and there was no way to explain it at this moment. So he could only deal with this situation one step at a time.

Zhang Penbai knocked on the door, and Yang Ming’s voice came from inside the room, “Please come in.”

Zhang Penbai carefully opened the door and walked in with a smile, “Brother Yang, I’m here. Brother Bao asked me to send a hundred thousand yuan…”

“Oh, Penbai, you’re here.” Yang Ming glanced at the door and nodded. But when he saw Sui Yuemin follow them in, Yang Ming frowned suddenly and said, “Did I let you come in?”

“Ah?” Zhang Penbai was suddenly stunned by Yang Ming’s cold words, “Brother Yang … I … didn’t you let me in?”

“Not you. The one behind you,” Yang Ming explained as he knew that Zhang Penabi had misunderstood from his words just then.

“Ah… Xiao Qiangzi, he was talking about you! What are you doing here!? Get out!” Zhang Penbai turned and shouted at his underling.

The underling was startled. Thinking he shouldn’t have come in, he hurried back outside.

Yang Ming saw this scene, and didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh. At this time, only Sui Yuemin knew who Yang Ming was referring to.

“Brother Bai… he was talking about me, not Brother Qiangzi …” Zhang Penbai said awkwardly.

“Ah?” Zhang Penbai heard Sui Yuemin’s explanation and felt somewhat inexplicable. “He was talking about you?”

It was difficult for Sui Yuemin to explain. So, he simply told Yang Ming, “Brother Yang, I was joking previously. You see, how could you also get Brother Bai to come here? How could that bedsheet be worth a hundred thousand yuan? I was just joking…”

“Oh, I lost your stuff. Of course I will pay for it.” Yang Ming said lightly, “It’s Australian wool. It’s worth the price. No big deal.”

“I … I was really kidding …” Sui Yuemin was about to cry, “Brother Yang, don’t make fun of me. How can I ask for your money…?”

“Penbai, did you bring the money?” Yang Ming stopped caring about Sui Yuemin. He turned to Zhang Penbai and said, “Give it to Sui Yuemin.”

“I brought it… Oh, okay.” Zhang Penbai had also grasped the situation from Yang Ming’s words, realizing that Sui Yuemin had extorted a hundred thousand yuan from Yang Ming. But he also knew that it was not his turn now to speak. In front of Yang Ming, he was only a small character. It was still up to Yang Ming to make the decision.

So whatever Yang Ming said, he just had to do it. It was Yang Ming’s decision whether to take care of Sui Yuemin or not.

“This … no need. There’s really no need!” Sui Yuemin saw that Yang Ming was dealing with this in a business manner, and was suddenly anxious. How could he dare to ask for the money!?

“President Sui, count it. This is one hundred thousand yuan.” Zhang Penbai opened the bag in his hand and handed it to Sui Yuemin.

Although Zhang Penbai didn’t say anything, his aggressive eyes explained the problem and made Sui Yuemin shudder.

“I don’t want it. I really don’t …” Sui Yuemin didn’t even dare ask for the money, especially since the money was delivered by Zhang Penbai.

“Why don’t you give face to Brother Yang? Brother Yang asked you to take it. Don’t you want it? Or do you think it’s too little?” Zhang Penbai asked coldly.

“Ugh… I… I’ll take it …” Sui Yuemin was startled. He tremblingly took the bag from Zhang Penbai’s hand.

“I have compensated you. You may leave now,” Yang Ming said while looking at Sui Yuemin.

“Brother Yang …You’re great and generous. Please don’t hold me accountable for my previous offences. I was really joking. Please let me go…” If Sui Yuemin couldn’t see Yang Ming’s transcendent identity at this moment, he was a fool.

Zhang Penbai’s respectful attitude in front of Yang Ming had explained everything. Yang Ming had not asked for Zhang Penbai as a pretense. He had really made Zhang Penbai his errand boy to send money!

This difference could be seen from the subtle details. Yang Ming stood high above all, while Zhang Penbai acted like he was of a low status.

“President Sui, Brother Yang asked you to go out. Didn’t you hear it?” Zhang Penbai frowned. He stopped Sui Yuemin from continuing, and gestured at him to leave.

Sui Yuemin was really anxious now. In desperation, he knelt down with a thump, “Brother Yang, Brother Bai, please stop playing with me, I… I…”
