Lin Fan paused his steps, turned his head to glance at the middle-aged man, and said, "Who are you calling a broke bastard?"
The middle-aged man arrogantly replied, "I’m calling you a broke bastard!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "You called a broke bastard. Turns out, you’re the broke bastard."
The middle-aged man was montarily stunned, then realized that Lin Fan had trapped him with words, and sneered, "Poor kid, all you can do is boast with words. Whoever’s poor will be embarrassed!"
The young woman beside him giggled, "President Zhang, why bother wasting words on this lowlife? People like him don’t even know what wealth looks like."
The middle-aged man laughed heartily, "You’re right. Well, today I’ll show him! Hey pauper, we’re thirsty, go buy us a bottle of water!"
He spoke in a commanding tone, as if Lin Fan were his servant.
Lin Fan smiled, "I’m thirsty too. How about you lend your little plaything to quench my thirst?"
Everyone present were adults, and naturally, they imdiately understood Lin Fan’s words.
The middle-aged man was furious, "What did you say?"
The young woman blushed with anger, "President Zhang, this guy is taking advantage of , you have to stand up for ."
The middle-aged man reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of red bills; at a glance, they totaled at least several thousand!
"Poor kid, there’s 30,000 in cash here. Help us buy drinks, and it’s yours!" the middle-aged man said, with a superior air.
The people around were amazed.
This President Zhang is really throwing money around—offering 30,000 just for buying drinks!
Though it obviously intended to humiliate Lin Fan, who wouldn’t welco such ’humiliation’?
The young woman giggled, "I bet this pauper has never seen that much cash in his life. He should hurry up and thank President Zhang for the reward!"
She thought that in front of 30,000, Lin Fan would surely give in. After all, who could refuse money, especially a pauper like him, whose legs must have turned to jelly.
However, Lin Fan stood firm and chuckled, "You’re overthinking. You expect to fetch drinks for just 30,000?"
What?
The nearby broker broke out in a cold sweat. This delivery guy actually refused!
Earning 30,000 just like that, this kid values pride too much. What does pride matter in the face of 30,000!
The broker couldn’t help but chuckle awkwardly, "President Zhang, how about I fetch the water for you, and you give the money to ?"
The broker eyed the wad of cash, greed gleaming in his eyes.
President Zhang ignored the broker, focused only on humiliating Lin Fan. He couldn’t believe Lin Fan wouldn’t submit to money!
He then pulled out another wad of cash from his pocket, stacking it with the 30,000.
"50,000!" President Zhang said smugly to Lin Fan. He had never encountered soone who wouldn’t yield to money. Everyone has a price, and once reached, they bow down. He had plenty of money and was sure he could smash Lin Fan down with it!
"Sa conditions, get us the drinks, and the money is yours. If you kneel and call grandpa, I’ll give you an extra 50,000, making it 100,000 in total!"
The broker’s eyes were fixed, internally screaming, I’m willing to kneel and call you ancestor, just give the money now!
But the broker felt he had no chance. With the allure of 100,000, Lin Fan couldn’t possibly resist, right? What does dignity amount to!
But then Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Just 100,000, and you pretend to act tough in front of ? If you don’t have real skills, stop wasting my ti."
What?
The broker froze. Is this kid crazy? Turning down 100,000, is pride worth more than 100,000?
Even the young woman was a bit surprised. She’d do anything for 100,000 from President Zhang, yet this delivery guy could resist the temptation of 100,000!
She saw sothing in Lin Fan she hadn’t seen in a long ti.
Integrity!
This delivery guy might be poor, but he was poor with integrity. People like this were rare.
But what is integrity worth?
Dignity and integrity had long been discarded by her, money was more reliable and reassuring.
"President Zhang, I think he’s just face-saving, no wonder he’s stuck as a delivery boy! A true man knows when to yield; if it were , I’d endure and take the 100,000 to start a small business, better than being a courier!" the young woman laughed.
The middle-aged man chuckled, "Broke bastard, you know nothing about my wealth. You think I’m here for no reason? I’ve co to buy luxuries here. Even the smallest set here starts from a hundred million, and I’ll buy one without batting an eye!"
The middle-aged man spoke with great pride, flaunting his wealth.
He wanted Lin Fan to realize he was a billionaire, that a re delivery guy in front of a billionaire should kneel instantly.
But!
Lin Fan still stood firm, "Oh? You’re here to buy a house? Could it be you’re eyeing the property in Building A?"
The middle-aged man snorted arrogantly, "Correct, I’ve set my eyes on one of the houses inside and was planning to buy it today. Talking to you, this broke bastard, almost made miss my opportunity. Broker, quickly, call the owner!"
The broker agreed and hastily pulled out his phone, ready to make a call.
Lin Fan smiled, "No need to call, the owner is right here."
The broker paused, "What?"
Miss Chen then smiled and said, "The owner is indeed here, it’s Mr. Lin right here."
Miss Chen gestured at Lin Fan.
Everyone paused in surprise, what, the owner of the house President Zhang wanted to buy was this delivery guy?
"Hahaha..." The middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter.
The young woman laughed so hard she was trembling, "What a joke, this is hilarious, do you think we would believe that!"
Miss Chen was a bit speechless, "I’m Miss Chen from the property managent office, there’s no need for to joke with you."
The middle-aged man stopped laughing, "Miss Chen, is it? Are you really from the property managent office? Your joke is too clumsy; this Building A has 40 units, and I haven’t told you which one I’m interested in, but you know the owner already?"
The young woman chuckled, "What, nothing to say now? Such a big loophole, let’s see how you smooth it over."
The middle-aged man sneered, "Forget the loophole. A deliveryman being the owner here? The joke is absurd enough."
Lin Fan said, "Alright, go ahead and make the call then."
The middle-aged man thought Lin Fan had nothing to refute, confidently said, "What are you pretending for, broke bastard? Broker, make the call!"
The broker nodded, "Got it."
He then dialed a number.
Ring ring ring...
Suddenly, Lin Fan’s pocket rang.
The middle-aged man, the young woman, and the broker all looked puzzled.
The broker had just made the call, and Lin Fan’s phone rang?
Coincidence!
It must be just a coincidence!
The three thought in unison.
Beep!
Lin Fan picked up the phone and casually pressed the speaker.
The broker found the call picked up on the other end, so he said, "Hello, is this Mr. Lin!"
Simultaneously, the broker’s voice ca from Lin Fan’s phone, "Hello, is this Mr. Lin?"
Ah?
The middle-aged man, the young woman, and the broker were all shocked, as if they’d seen a ghost!
