Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Chen Fu’s Soaring Imagination _1
Seeing Chen Fu’s ambiguous gaze, Ye Ming felt a strange sensation rising in his heart; he was afraid that Chen Fu had misunderstood his relationship with Sun Miaomiao.
Hence, Ye Ming quickly explained, "Mister Chen, there’s nothing more between Sun Miaomiao and me than an old schoolmate relationship. Please don’t overthink it."
Chen Fu also hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, rest assured, I will keep my lips sealed about this matter, I absolutely won’t reveal any information to Miss Xia."
Ye Ming instantly felt waves of exasperation, yet he swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue, knowing that any further explanation would only make things worse. It was better to leave it as it was.
After all, he believed that Chen Fu certainly wouldn’t go around spreading rumors.
Seeing Ye Ming’s helpless face, Chen Fu couldn’t help but chuckle to himself inside. It seemed that having too many women was also a kind of trouble; but this kind of trouble was not something the average person could enjoy.
Though Sun Miaomiao’s identity couldn’t compare with Xia Ningning’s, her appearance was in no way inferior to Xia Ningning’s. It was only because of her humble family background that Sun Miaomiao looked like the girl-next-door type, not quite so eye-catching.
However, Chen Fu could assert one thing: both of these girls were not easy to deal with. It appeared that Ye Ming would be facing a lot of trouble in the future.
If Ye Ming knew what he was thinking, he’d probably be shocked to the core.
After resolving the matter with Sun Miaomiao, Chen Fu had no intention of letting it go at that.
He turned his cold gaze towards the pleading woman and said indifferently, "As for you, you can forget about the position of sales manager. Our company doesn’t need someone like you causing trouble. Roll up your mat and get out, immediately!"
"I will also send out a message, alerting the entire industry, never to employ you."
The previously high-spirited sales manager, upon hearing Chen Fu’s declaration, collapsed onto the floor, turning into a heap of mud.
She wanted to beg for mercy, but she was all too aware of Chen Fu’s tactics; once he said something, there was no possibility of taking it back.
As for Director Zhang, who had behaved in a hooligan-like manner, he was thrown out by two security guards using certain methods. Knowing he was not in a position to protest, he could only slip away obediently, not daring to express any objections.
After everything had calmed down, Zhang Li immediately pretended as if nothing had happened and planned to return to her work post.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fu’s icy voice had already arrived: "You stop right there! Did I say you could leave?"
Zhang Li’s face was plastered with a smile as she said hurriedly, "Uncle, I still have to work, and I wasn’t involved in what happened just now."
She felt emboldened to bully others and make trouble at Ziyun Pavilion’s sales department precisely because she had this family connection.
On a normal day, Chen Fu would turn a blind eye and let it slide as a favor.
But she had the misfortune of provoking Sun Miaomiao, and for that, she couldn’t blame Chen Fu for being ruthless.
"I’ve heard everything about you from the HR department; don’t think you can get away with it," Chen Fu said seriously. "From today onward, you’re also dismissed; don’t you dare set foot in here again. If I find out, I’ll break your legs!"
Chen Fu held absolute authority within the family, and Zhang Li didn’t dare disobey.
She looked crestfallen. Working at Ziyun Pavilion allowed her to come and go as she pleased, and she received a handsome salary. But now, she had lost it all because she had offended Sun Miaomiao!
She glared fiercely at Sun Miaomiao, silently vowing to remember this grudge.
Little did she know, Chen Fu had already anticipated her move and immediately scolded, "If you dare retaliate in the future, don’t blame me for being impolite. Watch it, or I’ll kick you out of the family!"
His warning was not meant to intimidate Zhang Li but to indirectly protect her.
In the end, Zhang Li still bowed her head and left dejectedly.
After dealing with those people, Ye Ming was more concerned about his own house.
Chen Fu knew he had delayed too long, so as soon as everything was resolved, he immediately drove Ye Ming and Sun Miaomiao towards the Lakeside Villa.
As the car left the city limits, Ye Ming could see through the window that the number of vehicles coming and going was getting fewer and fewer.
Before long, the car stopped in front of a deserted lawn.
At a glance, Ye Ming saw the lake and the luxuriously styled villas.
Of course, Ye Ming immediately realized that the value of this villa was not just three hundred million; in terms of size and decoration, it was even bigger than the Xu Family’s.
This villa was also Chen Fu’s treasured possession, the only one of its kind in Yanjing.
After getting out of the car, Chen Fu asked with a smile, "Mr. Ye, are you satisfied?"
"Mister Chen, continue to name your price," Ye Ming suddenly asked while looking at the luxurious villa.
Ye Ming’s move mildly surprised Chen Fu.
After a long stare at each other, Chen Fu smiled sheepishly and hurriedly said, "You really can’t hide anything from your keen eyes, indeed, this villa is worth more than three hundred million."
"The villa for Mr. Ye has to be the best, and since I’ve already received the money, of course, I won’t be asking for more."
With his impeccable social skills, Chen Fu put Ye Ming at ease.
However, Ye Ming was not one to take advantage of small gains.
He nodded and said, "I like this villa very much, and I will pay the remaining three hundred million afterwards; I can’t let you suffer any loss."
"What?" Chen Fu was stunned, then asked, puzzled, "Mr. Ye, how did you know that this villa is worth six hundred million?"
Ye Ming smiled slightly, "I saw it as soon as I came in, the crown jewel of your Ziyun Pavilion Villa Area."
He had an excellent memory, not just for a price, but he could remember every detail of a book he read.
Chen Fu had to admit defeat and had nothing more to say.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Fu went back to the city with Sun Miaomiao and Ye Ming, and very thoughtfully left them some private space.
"Manager Sun, you can go back later today, I won’t dock your pay for being absent," he said.
With these words, Chen Fu left without looking back, leaving behind a blushing Sun Miaomiao and a slightly embarrassed Ye Ming.
Also left behind was a driver acting as the third wheel.
After a brief silence, Sun Miaomiao suddenly said, "How about I treat you to a meal?"
"Of course, don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to dismiss you with just a meal, the help you’ve given me can’t be repaid with just one meal."
Ye Ming quickly waved his hand, "Miaomiao, I’ve already told you, I really wanted to buy the villa, not just to help you, let’s just have a simple meal!"
He spoke sincerely, but Sun Miaomiao only listened casually, not taking it seriously.
Sun Miaomiao knew in her heart that Ye Ming’s words were just to alleviate the pressure on her; after all, she couldn’t possibly repay a six-hundred-million deal.
