"I didn't expect the Eagle Country to be so chaotic!"
Shen Lu took a deep breath. "These local thugs are too arrogant. I really wanted to kill them just now."
Afterward, Shen Lu stopped talking and followed Jiang Yi out of the hall.
"Mr. Jiang Yi, please wait a moment!" the胖老板 (fat boss) called out urgently.
Jiang Yi heard this, stopped, and turned back to ask, "Is there anything else?"
"The office building, I've decided to rent it to you!"
The fat man said quickly.
"Why did you change your mind now?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"You two sit down first, and I'll tell you slowly," the fat man said.
Jiang Yi and Shen Lu heard this and walked over, sitting on the sofa.
The fat man began to chatter.
It turned out that during the renovation of the office building, an employee was too careless and fell from downstairs, losing his life. The fat man compensated a lot of money.
After the office building was renovated, the fat man rented it to a large company. Just as he was waiting to make money, the deceased worker's brother brought people to his door, demanding half of the building's monthly income, or he wouldn't let him have an easy time.
The fat man naturally refused. As a result, that guy came to the office building to cause trouble every day, making it impossible for the company to continue operating, and they eventually had to move out.
The fat man not only didn't make any money but also lost a lot.
And the worker's brother was the thug who had been in charge earlier.
The reason the fat man didn't rent the building to Jiang Yi was because he knew that the thug would still come to cause trouble as before, and the fat man definitely wouldn't receive any rent.
"Miss Shen Lu's skills are so good, she can definitely deal with these thugs. As long as Miss Shen Lu is willing to help me deal with these thugs and hoodlums, I can rent the office building to you at half the rent, and you can rent it for as long as you want," the fat man said.
The fat man wanted to use Shen Lu to get rid of those thugs.
"You shouldn't be looking for me for this, you should be looking for the authorities," Shen Lu said.
"It's no use even if I look for them. When the authorities come, those thugs won't show up. Once the authorities leave, they come back to cause trouble! The authorities have their own work, they can't guard here twenty-four hours a day!"
The fat man's face was full of helplessness.
Shen Lu looked at Jiang Yi.
Meaning for Jiang Yi to make the decision.
"You handle this matter!" Jiang Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lu looked at the fat man.
"Alright, it's a deal! But I must warn you, if you dare to deceive me or play any tricks, I won't let you off."
"Don't worry!" the fat man said quickly.
Afterward, Shen Lu signed an agreement with the fat man and paid half the rent.
The fat man was quite straightforward and handed the key to the office building to Shen Lu on the spot.
Jiang Yi and Shen Lu inspected the office building and found no problems.
The fat man invited Jiang Yi and Shen Lu to dine with him, but Jiang Yi refused.
The fat man did not linger, worried that those thugs would come to cause trouble later, and left in a hurry.
"We've made a big profit this time!"
Shen Lu said with a smile, "We rented such a good office building for only half the rent. I'll go and deal with those thugs later."
Jiang Yi's expression was somewhat somber.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Lu asked, "Is there any problem with the office building?"
"There's no problem with the office building! I'm worried about the landlord. The people here don't keep their word, and they change their minds faster than they turn pages. For profit, they'll do anything," Jiang Yi said.
"It's okay, I've already signed an agreement with the landlord,"
Shen Lu said.
"In their eyes, the agreement is like a piece of waste paper, completely useless. I've encountered this kind of thing twice before, and both times I was tricked. And they were the director and president of the Chamber of Commerce," Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Shen Lu was a little stunned!
"I'm saying all this just to make you stay vigilant and never believe their words!" Jiang Yi said.
"Mmm! I'll be vigilant," Shen Lu said.
After Jiang Yi and Shen Lu rested for a while, they returned to the castle.
As soon as they entered the castle hall, they saw Stephen.
Stephen's injuries had not yet recovered. He was sitting in a wheelchair, talking to Dongfang Mei.
"You're already like this, and you still came to find me. Did something happen?" Jiang Yi asked Stephen.
"Yes, something has indeed happened!"
Stephen said, "President Martin was murdered. The authorities found his body this morning. Judging from his body, he was tortured a lot before he died. The authorities are investigating this matter."
"Will it be traced back to me?" Jiang Yi asked.
Jiang Yi was not actually worried, he just asked casually.
With Stephen covering for him, nothing would happen.
"Don't worry, it won't be traced back to you. You're not a kidnapper."
Stephen said, "The authorities couldn't even find those kidnappers, let alone trace it back to you. Those kidnappers were too cunning and erased all evidence. They probably fled abroad now! The authorities are helpless." Sudan Novel Network
Jiang Yi sneered when he heard this.
He had already seen that those kidnappers were not ordinary people. They were habitual offenders. Before they kidnapped President Martin, they had already made preparations. Even if the authorities found them, they couldn't catch them.
"Then who is the president now?" Jiang Yi asked.
"My daughter, Alice!"
Stephen said proudly, "I pulled many strings and spent a lot of money to make this happen. Alice will start working at the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. If you need any help in the future, just go to the Chamber of Commerce and find Alice!"
Jiang Yi was stunned when he heard this!
Dongfang Mei's brows furrowed directly.
"Mr. Stephen, you are really good at scheming!" Dongfang Mei said with a frown.
"Miss Dongfang, you can't just say that," Stephen said with a smile.
"I'm not speaking carelessly."
Dongfang Mei said indifferently, "You know Jiang Yi is going to open a company, and he will definitely need a lot of help from the Chamber of Commerce in the future. So you made Alice the president. In the future, when Jiang Yi meets Alice, it will be legitimate, and Jiang Yi will owe Alice a lot of favors."
Stephen was stunned when he heard this.
He did not expect Dongfang Mei to be so smart and see through it on the spot.
However, Stephen did not intend to admit it. If he admitted it, it would be troublesome.
