Looking at the sinister look in Zhao Xiaoman’s eyes, I found it hard to connect her with the ordinary secretary I knew.
Damn, she’s too ruthless. She seemed so gentle in front of Director Wang; I never imagined she could be this terrifying.
About ten minutes later, I saw two cars appear in front of the villa.
“They’re here!” Zhao Xiaoman exclaimed excitedly, almost jumping for joy.
This made me hold my breath and look at the two cars. Five burly men emerged from one car, while a wealthy woman in a long black dress stepped out of the other.
This woman was clearly Director Wang’s wife. She glanced around at Director Wang and Sun Dan’s car in front of the villa, then suddenly swung her hand.
Then, Director Wang’s wife took out an electric key, pressed a button, and the villa gate opened automatically. The burly men filed in.
Seeing this terrifying scene, I couldn’t help but get goosebumps.
As expected, these people, led by Mr. Wang’s wife, entered the villa, followed by a chorus of curses and insults.
“You vixen, beat her up!”
“You son of a b!tch, you bastard, you never learn!”
“Ah, no, don’t hit her!”
“No, don’t!”
The shouts were incessant.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoman, I saw her smiling slyly, a smug look on her face.
“Alright, I’m leaving!” I quickly said.
“What’s the rush? Don’t miss this show. Let’s wait until they come out. I want to see that old woman Sun Dan disfigured.” Zhao Xiaoman hurriedly said.
“Crazy.” I scoffed, ignoring Zhao Xiaoman, and immediately ran out of the villa complex.
“Hey, wait for me!” Zhao Xiaoman quickly chased after me.
Reaching the villa complex, Zhao Xiaoman grabbed my arm.
“What? Is there something else?” I looked at Zhao Xiaoman.
“Hehe, now we’re in the same boat.” Zhao Xiaoman said with a half-smile.
“What do you mean?” I frowned, sensing that things weren’t as simple as I thought.
“Manager Lin, thank you for making that call for me. With Sun Dan gone, her position will be vacant. What do you think about me taking her place?” Zhao Xiaoman said with a cold laugh.
“You…what do you mean?” I asked immediately.
“Hehehe.” Zhao Xiaoman laughed heartily, her ample bosom swaying. “Don’t you understand? I’ve wanted to get rid of her for a long time. I think I can take the regional manager position too.”
“You’re crazy! Aren’t you afraid that Director Wang will find out you snitched?” I gritted my teeth.
“Tch, I didn’t make the call. Even if they find out, it’ll be you. If Director Wang fires you, won’t I be all-powerful?” Zhao Xiaoman curled her lip, looking completely fearless.
“You!” I roared, raising my hand to slap Zhao Xiaoman.
At this moment, Sun Dan seemed to have anticipated it. She quickly grabbed my wrist: “Lin Nan, get this straight, we now have at least one less competitor.”
“You’re despicable!” I shook her off and immediately hailed a taxi.
Back home, I grew angrier the more I thought about it. I couldn’t believe Zhao Xiaoman was so vicious. But then again, unless Director Wang was an idiot, how could she possibly have gotten her hands on the regional director position?
Just as I was feeling extremely annoyed, feeling like I’d been used as a pawn by Zhao Xiaoman tonight, my phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number. I quickly answered.
“Hello, is this Mr. Lin Nan?” a woman’s voice came from the other end.
“Yes, it’s me. Who is this?” I asked hastily.
“Sir, this is a sales representative from Blue Moon Mansion. Your property certificate has been issued. When are you free?”
“How about tomorrow?” I thought for a moment and then said.
“Okay, sir. Come to our Blue Sky Mansion tomorrow. Besides giving you the property certificate and keys, you can also take a look at the house. If there are no problems, just sign for it.”
“Understood.” I nodded quickly and hung up.
I didn’t expect the property certificate to be issued so quickly. Now I finally own my own house.
After taking a shower, I thought about everything that happened tonight and decided to wait and see how things went tomorrow, to see if Sun Dan could hold on at the company after this.
The next day, I went to the company, but I didn’t see Sun Dan. Someone even said she had taken leave.
Zhao Xiaoman, on the other hand, came into the office beaming.
“Good morning, Manager Lin.” Zhao Xiaoman smiled at me.
“Good morning.” I nodded slightly.
“Manager Lin, are you feeling particularly peaceful today? I have something to tell you. Manager Sun is probably going to take a month’s leave.” Zhao Xiaoman had a smug look on her face.
“Alright, I’m busy today, I won’t waste time with you.” I waved my hand and sat down at my desk.
“Oh, still unhappy? It’s not like you’re the one who got into trouble, why are you throwing a tantrum?” Zhao Xiaoman turned on her computer and sneered.
I was out of sorts all morning. I really wasn’t used to Sun Dan not coming to work. Around noon, I rushed over to Blue Moon Mansion.
The saleswoman saw me, confirmed my identity several times, showed me the new apartment, and finally handed me the property certificate and keys.
Looking at the property certificate, I was filled with mixed emotions. It seemed I wouldn’t be able to pay Qu Na for the apartment anytime soon, but I should at least call her to thank her.
On the phone, Qu Na told me not to feel pressured, and that we could talk about it when I had the money. I was deeply touched.
During my lunch break, I went to the Mercedes-Benz dealership. The new car was all set up; the front and rear windows were tinted, and the added accessories were all done.
“Sir, what are your thoughts on the license plate?” the saleswoman asked, looking at me.
“I’ll use this car’s license plate,” I said, pointing to my Volkswagen.
“Okay, sir. Leave your car and documents here, and I’ll get it done for you this afternoon,” the saleswoman quickly agreed.
“Alright,” I nodded slightly.
Leaving the Mercedes-Benz dealership, I took a taxi back to the company, but before I even entered, two burly men blocked my way.
“What are you doing?” I frowned.
“You must be Mr. Lin Nan. Our Sister Luo has been waiting for you for a long time!” one of the burly men said coldly, grabbing my shoulder.
“Sister Luo?” I was startled, then saw a blue Maserati parked nearby.
“Let’s talk inside, or I’ll kill you!” The burly man shoved me, then with a flick of his wrist, a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand.
“Okay, okay, don’t do anything rash!” I was sweating profusely, and at the burly man’s gesture, I quickly opened the back door and got in.
As I sat in the back seat of the car, I immediately saw a middle-aged woman, who looked me up and down with great interest, a strange smile on her face.
Mr. Wang’s wife? Holy crap, why is she suddenly contacting me? Did she discover that I was the one who delivered the message last night?
I was shocked, but outwardly I gave an awkward smile.
