Chapter 761
Similarity
Tang Muyang was furious when he saw Zhu Xiaolei mocking them so blatantly, and he wanted to argue with Zhu Xiaolei some more.
However, Xu Bo'an disagreed. In his eyes, Zhu Xiaolei was just a nobody, no different from an ant. Xu Bo'an felt that arguing with such a nobody was a waste of time.
Before Tang Muyang could speak again, Xu Bo'an said to him, "Muyang, let's go. We have a lot of things to do. There's no need to waste time with him here!"
After saying that, he tried to pull Tang Muyang away. Seeing Xu Bo'an's actions, Zhu Xiaolei became even more convinced that Xu Bo'an was an insignificant nobody. At this moment, he looked at Xu Bo'an and Tang Muyang and laughed even more arrogantly, coldly saying to them, "What? You're in such a hurry to leave? Did I hit the nail on the head? Are you feeling embarrassed and want to slip away quickly? But you're right to do this. If you don't slip away quickly, you might not even be able to keep the security guard jobs you worked so hard to get! Hahaha..."
Just as Zhu Xiaolei was laughing wildly, someone hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Mr. Zhu, we just received news that Gao Yunshu's group is passing by and will be arriving at our company soon. We can't go out now, let's hurry to the office and prepare to receive him!"
Gao Yunshu is considered a very capable entrepreneur in Dongjiang. Although he is only in his early thirties, he has done an outstanding job and his businesses are all-encompassing, including tourism, beauty, hotels and a series of other industries.
I had arranged to meet with Zhu Xiaolei some time ago to discuss business, but Gao Yunshu had something come up that day and it was delayed. Today, after finishing my business outside, I happened to be passing by and decided to come over and sit for a while, which was also to give him face.
Zhu Xiaolei's company is just a small advertising company, and it's still in its early stages. He has fewer than twenty employees in total, and the company's registered capital is at most just over ten million yuan.
Gao Yunshu is different. His company is not only large, but his assets have already exceeded 100 million. The reason why he cooperated with a nobody like Zhu Xiaolei was only because his deceased mother and Zhu Xiaolei's mother were from the same village and had a good relationship. Moreover, the two had played together when they were young. He only reluctantly agreed because Zhu Xiaolei begged him.
Hearing that Gao Yunshu had come by and even thought of visiting him, Zhu Xiaolei felt very proud and was overjoyed.
Moreover, the words Zhu Xiaolei uttered upon seeing Xu Bo'an today served as a way to vent his pent-up resentment towards Xu Bo'an.
In today's society governed by law, Zhu Xiaolei can't forcibly stop Xu Bo'an and his group from leaving. Fortunately, Xu Bo'an will be working as a security guard here in the future, and Zhu Xiaolei has a lot of connections in the office building. It will be easy for him to torment Xu Bo'an when the time comes!
Thinking about this, Zhu Xiaolei felt much relieved and immediately turned to leave to take care of his more important business.
Just as they were about to leave in a hurry, Xu Bo'an grabbed the man who had just been talking to Zhu Xiaolei, because Xu Bo'an recognized the man as the unreasonable person he had encountered when he went to buy a fish tank last time.
Xu Bo'an looked at the man and said, "Oh, so you two are together! No wonder your ways of doing things are so similar!"
The man looked at Xu Bo'an impatiently and said, "What are you doing? We have very important things to do. Who has time to deal with you? Get out of here!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Hey, you were so arrogant when you sold the fish tank last time, and you're still just as unreasonable this time."
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the young man looked at him and recognized him as the man he had encountered when buying the fish tank last time. He said impatiently to Xu Bo'an, "It would have been better if you hadn't mentioned buying the fish tank. The moment you bring it up, I get furious. Last time, I bought the fish tank because our boss, Mr. Zhu, had his eye on it beforehand, and we were buying it because we had a big business deal to discuss. But you were just making a fuss over there! Luckily, you were fortunate that day and didn't delay our business meeting. If you had, I would have held you accountable. And you call me arrogant? That's just unreasonable!"
Xu Bo'an said, "You two, master and servant, are truly cut from the same cloth! I kindly gave you the fish tank that day because I was too lazy to argue with you, but not only did you not appreciate it, you also spoke so rudely!"
The young man said, "Heh, what do you mean by 'kindly giving it to me'? We clearly saw it first. And with your looks, how could you afford a fish tank worth tens of thousands? Don't be ridiculous. You're obviously just causing trouble, and you still have the nerve to say you're giving it to me? You're shameless. If you want to curry favor with me, this isn't how you do it!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Hehe, you're overthinking it. I don't think it's necessary for me to try and build a relationship with you!"
At this moment, Zhu Xiaolei said to the man next to him, "He's just a lousy gatekeeper. Let's not waste our breath on him. We have more important things to do. Let's hurry up and leave. It wouldn't be good if we delayed our important business!"
Just as Zhu Xiaolei and the young man were about to leave, a car horn sounded from the doorway, and they saw a Maybach drive in.
The group made way for the car, which then drove towards the parking space ahead.
Zhu Xiaolei immediately recognized the car as Gao Yunshu's. He ignored Xu Bo'an and the others and quickly jogged with the young man beside him to catch up with the car in front.
To their surprise, the car reversed and stopped beside them after they had only run a few steps.
At this moment, Zhu Xiaolei was very happy. He thought to himself that Gao Yunshu was still a person who remembered old friendships. He must not have seen him when he first came in, so he drove his car out. Now that he saw him, he actually reversed his car and parked it next to him. It seems that he still has a lot of influence.
He looked smugly at the young man beside him, who was also looking at Zhu Xiaolei. The two exchanged a knowing smile, their meaning clear: they both felt proud and honored.
After the car stopped, Zhu Xiaolei opened the car door and looked at Gao Yunshu sitting in the car with a big smile. He said in a very flattering tone, "President Gao, you are such a big leader, you don't need to be so polite with me. My company is not far away. I am really honored that you went out of your way to stop the car and wait for us!"
Although Zhu Xiaolei said that, Gao Yunshu, while not the richest person in Dongjiang City, was still a prominent figure in the second tier. Because she was very beautiful, Gao Yunshu's popularity in Dongjiang City even surpassed that of many of the richest people in the first tier, and she was well-known to many people.
It was close to the end of the workday, and if he rode in her car back to the company building, and if passersby saw him, his social standing would instantly rise a notch! Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaolei kept saying polite and nice things, but his body language betrayed his intentions as he prepared to get into Gao Yunshu's car.
Although Gao Yunshu was facing Zhu Xiaolei and looking out of the car, Zhu Xiaolei thought Gao Yunshu was looking at him, but in fact Gao Yunshu was looking at Xu Bo'an standing behind Zhu Xiaolei.
After confirming that the person outside the car was indeed Xu Bo'an, she turned to open the car door. Upon seeing this, Zhu Xiaolei quickly stopped getting in and went around to the back of the car to open the door for Gao Yunshu. He used one hand to shield the roof to prevent Gao Yunshu from bumping into it, while inwardly he was overjoyed and said very politely, "President Gao, you really didn't need to get out of the car yourself."
Gao Yunshu didn't say much in response to Zhu Xiaolei's words. Instead, she got out of the car and walked towards Xu Bo'an's location. Although Zhu Xiaolei didn't understand what Gao Yunshu was going to do, he silently followed behind her.
Gao Yunshu walked up to Xu Bo'an, his aloof face instantly softening as he looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "What a coincidence! It really is you. I thought I was seeing things!"
Xu Bo'an recognized the beautiful woman in front of him at a glance. She was the same woman he had met on his way to buy seeds the day before yesterday. Her father had threatened to kill her by jumping off a building, and it was Xu Bo'an who had helped resolve the matter.
Xu Bo'an said very politely, "I didn't expect that you would still remember me after only meeting me once!"
Gao Yunshu said, "Of course, you helped us last time, how could I forget you? By the way, is there something you need here?"
Xu Bo'an said, "Oh, yes, my cousin and I want to open an advertising company here. We came to take a look at the office space!"
Gao Yunshu said, "Oh, really? Have you seen any suitable ones? If not, there are a few vacant houses near my company. You can come to my place then."
Xu Bo'an pointed to the office building that Zhang Wenzhong had given him and said, "The location has been decided. It's in that building over there. After purchasing some office supplies and obtaining the necessary permits, we can officially start operating."
Gao Yunshu said happily, "That's great! I happen to have a big order on hand right now. I'll give it to you after you open as an opening gift."
Xu Bo'an said with a smile, "Then I'll thank you in advance!"
Zhu Xiaolei was quite surprised to see that Gao Yunshu actually knew Xu Bo'an. Gao Yunshu had come to his company to see him today, but instead of saying a word to him, he was chatting endlessly with Xu Bo'an. The two of them seemed to be very polite to each other. Although Zhu Xiaolei was very dissatisfied, he did not dare to interrupt Gao Yunshu.
When Zhu Xiaolei heard Gao Yunshu say that she had a big order to give to Xu Bo'an and his team, he finally couldn't hold back anymore. After his repeated efforts, he had finally convinced Gao Yunshu to give him an order. Could it be that she was going to give that big order to Xu Bo'an and his team?
Just as Zhu Xiaolei was feeling uneasy, Gao Yunshu turned to look at him and said, "Zhu Xiaolei, do you know each other too?"
Taking the opportunity, Zhu Xiaolei quickly spoke up to Gao Yunshu, saying, "Mr. Gao, I do know them, but these two are complete liars. They're spouting nonsense. They're just security guards who were recently hired here. Don't believe them!"
Tang Muyang was initially delighted to hear Gao Yunshu say he was going to give them a big order. He was thinking how great it would be to receive an order before even opening for business. But then Zhu Xiaolei, that bastard, decided to sabotage them.
"What an annoying guy," Tang Muyang said to Zhu Xiaolei irritably. "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. This is pure slander. What evidence do you have to prove that we are liars? If you don't have any evidence, you'd better shut your stinking mouth!"
Zhu Xiaolei was furious when he heard Tang Muyang's words. He wanted to slap Tang Muyang across the face, but considering that President Gao was there, if he made the first move, it would make him seem impatient. If he left a bad impression on President Gao, his order would be ruined.
Zhu Xiaolei suppressed his anger and looked at Tang Muyang, saying, "I'm a civilized person, I won't argue with someone as rude as you!"
It has to be said that Tang Muyang, a recent college graduate, still lags behind Zhu Xiaolei in terms of handling affairs. Tang Muyang will need to learn more from Zhu Xiaolei in the future.
Xu Bo'an then spoke up, "Zhu Xiaolei, that's enough. Don't go too far, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhu Xiaolei said, "Ha, you dare to make up lies to deceive President Gao, and you're still so arrogant. I really don't know who gave you the guts!"
Then he turned to Gao Yunshu, his face full of flattery, and said to her, "President Gao, let's go to my office. Don't waste your time here with these two swindlers."
Zhu Xiaolei was focused on getting Gao Yunshu back to his company as soon as possible. He believed that if he treated Gao Yunshu well, he could secure the high-value order. He didn't want to waste any more time on Xu Bo'an and the others.
After this conversation, even a fool could tell that Xu Bo'an and Zhu Xiaolei were on opposing sides, and Gao Yunshu, a seasoned professional, would certainly not miss it.
Given Gao Yunshu's years of experience in the workplace, and considering that his father had faked a suicide attempt to extort money from him the day before yesterday, and that it was Xu Bo'an, a kind passerby, who had helped them out of the predicament and even saved his father from falling, how could such a kind person be a fraud?
