Mysterious Phone Call

Lance sifted through the list of addresses Shen Mulin had sent him. After a round of selection, he booked a suitable-sized office building in the city center.

He had already thought a lot when he was making his choice.

If the company was located in the city center, the employees would be able to rent affordable housing nearby.

Moreover, this office building had a prime location with a view of the bustling city center, and the traffic was convenient.

It was the best choice.

After making his choice, Lance sent a message to Shen Mulin.

[This is the office building.]

[Let's go take a look and secure it tomorrow.]

It was his style to be precise and ruthless.

…

The next day, Lance and Shen Mulin contacted the real estate agent early on.

When they arrived at the location, there was no sign of the real estate agent.

Shen Mulin was about to message the real estate agent again, but Lance stopped him and looked on the side.

"There he is."

On the other side, the real estate agent was on the phone.

"So you're here." Shen Mulin quickly took two steps forward and walked to the real estate agent. "Hello, I was with you yesterday…"

"Shh, keep quiet."

"You were the one who wanted to discuss renting an office building? I almost forgot to tell you… Eh, right, right. Boss Sha, you're already here?"

The real estate agent interrupted Shen Mulin impatiently and made him feel very uncomfortable.

Lance followed Shen Mulin's footsteps. Faced with this situation, he frowned.

Before he could speak, a man with a potbelly arrived at the shop, followed by a strangely dressed man.

The real estate agent's eyes lit up.

"CEO Sha, you're finally here." His attitude changed completely. "You told me this morning that you wanted to rent an office building. Without a word, I kept this building for you. Previously, someone made a reservation with me, but I ignored them."

He behaved like a lackey.

Hearing this, Shen Mulin said indignantly, "I was wondering why he ignored us."

Lance shook his head. "Hold your horses."

Let's see what else they can do.

The real estate agent called him CEO Sha. He glanced at Shen Mulin and Lance and roughly understood something.

He forced a satisfied smile and patted the salesman's face. "You did well."

He was the chairman of a famous company and liked to be flattered.

This time, the real estate agent's words completely hit home.

"Of course, of course!" The real estate agent's smile widened.

"That's right." The man in strange clothes said, "The feng shui of this office building is not bad. CEO Sha, if you move here, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future!"

"That's right." Chairman Sha nodded.

Lance chuckled at the sight.

Oh, he's a charlatan.

Hearing this laughter, CEO Sha's smile faded slightly. He made a suggestive remark.

"There are really people who overestimate their abilities and dare to covet what I have set my eyes on."

"Fortunately, I stopped the damage in time and the problem did not come to my doorstep".

The charlatan also echoed, "That's right. If they block your fortune, it will be a huge sin."

"…"

Lance raised his eyebrows. Was he talking about him and Shen Mulin?

Speaking ill of others openly, CEO Sha was extraordinarily arrogant.

However, CEO Sha and the real estate agent's future was destined to be tragic—

Lance used the system to check. CEO Sha had been cuckolded by his wife.

And that charlatan ended up dying a horrible death. It seemed that he had deceived many people.

Lance was pulled back from his thoughts by CEO Sha's words. "Let's sign the rental contract."

Boss Sha waved his hand as if he wanted to buy the office building.

"Rent?" Lance chuckled and took a few steps forward. "First come, first served. Since we contacted you first, you should serve us first."

Lance paused.

"I want to buy this office building."

"Pfft—"

When an eight-year-old child said this, CEO Sha and the charlatan laughed out loud. Their eyes were filled with disdain.

The real estate agent was the first to speak.

"A grown man bringing a kid to buy an office building? Do you have such ability? You penniless fellows can't have tens of thousands of yuan on you."

"If you don't have the ability, just stay wherever you can. Don't delay Chief Sha from signing the contract!"

"CEO Sha is different from you. He's the chairman of a large company! He's someone you can't reach. It's just a matter of signing a contract for him to rent such a huge office building. If you keep making noise, I'll have someone kick you out!"

The real estate agent was aggressive, like a dog protecting its master.

But there had to be a purpose to this act of stepping on others. Lance could tell at a glance.

"Don't you just want to make this chairman happy and take the opportunity to increase the rent of the office building to obtain more benefits?"

"You're really thick-skinned." Lance exposed the hypocrisy of the real estate agent.

The real estate agent did not expect an eight-year-old child to say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment before quickly recovering.

"Kid, don't talk nonsense here."

"Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand. There's a price to pay for spouting nonsense!"

He was just a kid. The real estate agent felt that if he spoke up to scare him, Lance would cry and take a step back.

But Lance was not an ordinary child at all. Faced with the intimidation of the real estate agent, he remained calm and composed.

There was even disdain in his eyes.

Just as the real estate agent was about to continue, a deep and heavy voice came through.

"This is my territory, regardless of who came first!"

When the real estate agent saw who it was, his eyes lit up. It was the landlord!

Now, things are going to be easier to handle.

The landlord came up to them unhurriedly.

"CEO Sha, come and sign the rental contract with me. We're old friends. No matter when you want to rent it, I can rent it to you." The old man was equally obsequious to CEO Sha.

"Then thank you very much."

CEO Sha smiled smugly. "We'll go now…"

Ring! Ring! Ring!

CEO Sha's words were interrupted by the old man's phone ringing.

The old man frowned and took out his phone. He wanted to reject the call but the moment he saw the caller ID, his expression changed.

"CEO Sha, I'm sorry. I'm going to take a call."

…

"Sell the office building to Shen Mulin and Lance."

A brief and concise statement.

The other party's tone was so cold that the landlord felt a chill down his spine even through the screen.

Hearing this, the old man was stunned.

He knew these two, but the other party actually knew them?

"Did you hear that?" Seeing that the old man did not respond for a long time, the other party asked patiently.

"Okay, okay. Since you've spoken, of course I have to do as you say. I can't refuse."

"I'll do it for your sake this time, please take care of me in the future…"

The landlord said a few more words, implying that the other party should offer him more guidance and support.

"OK."

"Also, bring Lance to me later."

With that, the other party hung up impatiently.

When the landlord heard the beeping sound on the phone, his eyes were filled with thoughts.

This person could actually interfere in such a small matter?

It seemed that his relationship with these two individuals was not ordinary!

Their power should not be underestimated.
