Chapter 560: Chapter 534: Pretending Comes at a Cost (Second Update, Subscription Requested)
Although he was excited inside, Chen Wei pretended to be reluctant.
"Ah, really, I actually don’t want to rent it."
"Just rent it to us, we agree to all your conditions."
After hanging up, Chen Wei immediately called Ye Chen to share the good news.
"Boss, that idiot really rented a floor at 36 per square meter in our Modu Mansion."
The reason he called the other party an idiot was because the original price was 12 per square meter, yet the other party paid three times more. Chen Wei couldn’t find a better adjective than "stupid".
Ye Chen laughed, "People like that deserve to be scammed. Hurry up and sign the contract with them."
After all, time could change things.
What if this Robin comes to his senses?
Soon, news came from Chen Wei’s end that the contract had been signed.
These terms allowed Modu Mansion to make a killing.
Chen Wei was almost giddy with joy.
The next day, Da Mai Group officially moved into Modu Financial Mansion.
King Bi Robin looked quite proud.
His office was spacious and impressive, a full five hundred square meters.
Da Mai Group wrapped up an entire floor with a year’s rent costing over eighty million.
To show off, Robin specially called Ye Chen and Su Wanyi to invite them over.
Two People arrived at Financial Mansion, and Su Wanyi asked puzzledly, "This guy clearly wants to show off to us; why are we letting him succeed?"
Su Wanyi really disliked Robin’s show-off attitude.
Ye Chen smiled slightly, "I have my reasons for coming; you’ll know the answer soon."
Two People had just arrived at the entrance of Da Mai Group when they saw Robin in a suit swaggering around.
Robin looked pleased, "Miss Su, welcome to visit our company, please come in, please come in."
Su Wanyi felt reluctant; if it weren’t for Ye Chen, she really wouldn’t want to come.
Robin seized the opportunity to continue showing off.
"Miss Su, my office environment is quite good, isn’t it? You can overlook the entire Pu River from here."
"Guess how much rent per square meter here? I have to pay over eighty million annually to rent this."
Speaking, Robin glanced proudly at Ye Chen.
Su Wanyi was shocked to hear this price.
After all, their company was also in a prime location with rent only at 5 yuan.
Moreover, as far as she knew, Financial Mansion’s rent wasn’t that high.
Seeing Robin’s proud expression, Su Wanyi found it amusing.
This idiot was still pleased despite being ripped off.
The three million yearly rent, anyone stupid enough deserves that kind of predicacy.
Su Wanyi looked at Robin as if he were an idiot.
But Robin mistook Su Wanyi’s disdainful gaze for surprise.
This act of his was totally satisfying.
Glancing at Ye Chen beside Su Wanyi, he remarked, "So, do you realize the difference between us now? Such a high-end office, you’ll never earn enough driving DiDi in your lifetime."
Ye Chen nodded; "Yeah, foolish and rich, I’m really impressed?"
"What?"
Ye Chen chuckled, "I meant you’re a veritable tycoon."
"Haha." Robin wore a proud expression.
At this time, Chen Wei approached with the property executives.
Robin smiled and said, "See? These are the property executives. I’ve already signed the contract. Once the owner of Financial Mansion signs, it becomes legally effective, and we’re officially the owners here."
He said, looking at Chen Wei with a smile.
"Has your boss signed?"
Chen Wei smiled, "President Luo, he’ll sign right away."
Then, Chen Wei respectfully handed the contract to Ye Chen.
"Boss, the second party has signed, and the money has been transferred to our account. Once you sign, it becomes legally effective."
Ye Chen nodded, picked up a pen, and signed swiftly.
Robin was immediately stunned.
What’s going on? Why is he signing?
Wasn’t he driving DiDi?
And what did Chen Wei just call Ye Chen?
Boss?
Moreover, seeing Chen Wei’s respectful attitude, Robin’s expression changed instantly; he felt something was off.
Robin was completely bewildered.
He finally realized Ye Chen turned out to be the owner of Modu Financial Mansion.
Su Wanyi was completely shocked.
She hadn’t anticipated that Ye Chen owned this Financial Mansion.
Robin was furious: "Impossible, this can’t be. He’s just someone who drives DiDi; how could he be the owner of this Financial Mansion?"
Ye Chen smiled broadly, "Welcome, Mr. Robin, to settle into our Financial Mansion. From now on, you have the user rights for this floor for a year."
Looking at Ye Chen’s brilliantly smiling face, Robin nearly spat blood.
How could this be?
He, whom he saw as insignificant, turned out to be the owner of this Financial Mansion?
Damn it, no wonder yesterday he egged me on over the phone; turns out he set a trap for me.
The most annoying thing is, he jumped into the trap like an idiot.
Su Wanyi was also shocked.
She knew Ye Chen had a few assets, but she never imagined this landmark building in Modu was actually his.
More ridiculously, Ye Chen had Robin foolishly spend triple the amount to rent a floor for himself.
Collecting eighty million rent annually.
No matter how successful Robin might be, he was ultimately an employee.
As for Ye Chen? Just Modu Financial Mansion alone could utterly crush Robin, couldn’t it?
Su Wanyi finally understood, Ye Chen was setting Robin up from the start.
With a muffled laugh, Su Wanyi couldn’t help but chuckle at Robin’s bewildered expression.
"Ye Chen, you’re really bad."
Robin was about to explode with anger.
He now knew he was completely taken in.
"You actually tricked me; I don’t want to rent the office here, I want to break the contract."
The reason Robin rented a floor in Financial Mansion was to show off to Su Wanyi.
But now, this whole Financial Mansion belonged to her boyfriend, so what’s the point of showing off?
This might as well slap him in the face.
Ye Chen said nothing, but Chen Wei sneered nearby.
"No problem if you want to cancel the rental; according to the contract, we won’t return the eighty million prepaid for the year. You can move out anytime."
"I..."
Robin was almost driven mad.
He hadn’t cared about this clause at the time; only now did he realize Ye Chen had planned this all along.
He was just eager to show off and hadn’t considered he’d completely fall into Ye Chen’s trap.
This showing off and face-slapping couldn’t be more brutal.
Seeing Robin’s furious face, Su Wanyi almost felt a bit sorry for him.
Robin spent an extra eighty million.
Simply to show off, Robin came to Huaxia and did nothing but lose eighty million.
Most importantly, there’s no way out of it; if the boss found out he squandered eighty million, he’d be doomed.
Ye Chen gave a slight smile, "Mr. Robin, you’ve come to Huaxia, and I’m teaching you a lesson that being pretentious has its cost."
With that, Ye Chen held Su Wanyi’s hand and turned to leave.
Leaving Robin in utter confusion in the wind.
