At these words, the scene fell silent.
Both Li Man Man and Li Hong were looking at Li Nan in front of them with incredulous eyes.
“Li Nan? How come you’re here?!” Li Man Man was filled with confusion.
“I know, you must be working here, right?” Lai Hong immediately guessed what was going on.
“How dare you!” Without the need for Li Nan to open his mouth, Vice President Wang directly shouted angrily, “How dare you speak to President Li like that!”
“What? General Manager Li?!” At this moment, both Li Man Man and Li Hong were completely dumbfounded.
“Vice President Wang, you guys are not mistaken, this guy is just a poor student, how can he be any President Li?” Li Man Man laughed coldly.
“That’s right, his family is so poor, how can he possibly afford a storefront house? I think ah, you must have been deceived by him!” Li Hong also looked disdainful.
In Li Man Man and Li Hong’s opinion, anyone in this world could be rich, but this poor relative in front of them was the only one who could never be.
At this time, Zheng Ruiming had also walked out from the box.
When he heard the words of the two people in front of him, Zheng Ruiming’s face immediately turned gloomy.
“Where did those dogs come from, how dare they come here to spill their guts! Mr. Li is my guest of honour, you are so rude, I think you don’t want to stay in this Dragon City anymore!” Zheng Ruiming’s voice was full of intimidation and his aura was astonishing.
In the eyes of Li Man Man and Li Hong, people like Zheng Ruiming were originally high and mighty beings, and were in no way comparable to these small people like them, and now that the other party was angry, they were even more timid.
“Zheng …… Zheng, this kid is a poor relative of my family, I know his family’s situation very well, so poor that he can’t even afford to pay for his father’s surgery, how can he afford to buy a storefront house on Golden Street, don’t be fooled by him!” Li Hong argued unknowingly.
“Relatives? Just the two of you are worthy of being relatives to Mr. Li!” Zheng Ruiming snorted coldly, “To tell you the truth, the first whole row of Tianhong Golden Street has been bought by Mr. Li for a total price of over 600 million, and it was paid in one go! Now you still dare to slander Mr. Lai as a fraud!”
“What ……” Li Man Man and Li Hong both opened their mouths wide in shock, their jaws about to drop to the ground. “How is that possible, how is that possible ……”
Li Man Man and Li Hong both couldn’t believe all this.
This Lai Nan in front of them had always been looked down upon by them as poor relatives, and in front of him, they, the people, had always been the successful ones, and just a moment ago, they were in the hospital with a super high sense of superiority, showing off their success in front of him.
But now, the other party had transformed into an existence that had thrown a few hundred million dollars to buy an entire street and was able to talk and laugh with a big shot like Zheng Ruiming!
How could this be acceptable to Li Man Man and the others!
“I see, that street was acquired by your company, right?” Lai Man Man suddenly thought of something and looked at Lai Nan. “You’re just doing the job for the company you work for!”
Looking at the smarmy Li Man Man in front of him, Li Nan didn’t retort.
Seeing that Li Nan did not say anything, Li Man Man became even more certain of her suspicions, and a look of smugness suddenly appeared on her face.
“I say, just with Li Nan how could you possibly afford to buy a whole street frontage!” Li Man Man sneered bitterly, as if she too felt that it was ridiculous that she had almost been bluffed by Li Nan just now.
“I can’t believe you’re still pretending to be some kind of General Manager Li, but it turns out that you’re just an errand boy, hahaha ……” Lai Hong was also instantly relieved and looked very disdainful.
Looking at the two people who thought they were in front of him, the corner of Li Nan’s mouth also showed a bitter smile.
“Alright, you guys just pretend that I can’t afford it, just pretend that I’m just an errand boy. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you guys, does it?” Li Nan was really too lazy to talk to these two people.
“How can you say it’s alright! Since you’re in charge of the Golden Street area for your company, we should find you responsible for this matter! We’ve done all the renovations, and now your company is saying that the lease won’t be renewed, so what the hell do you think we should do!” Li Man Man crossed her arms in front of her body and froze her face as if she was asking for punishment.
“That’s right, hurry up and talk to Mr Zheng and the others, we’re still waiting for the opening!” Li Hong also chimed in with no good grace.
Hearing this from the two, Li Nan only felt amused.
Just now, when they were facing a small manager under Zheng Ruiming, both of them were as honest as a grandson, but once they heard that they were in charge of this matter, their attitude immediately took a 180 degree turn, and they looked high and mighty again.
Both of them are the ones who can decide whether to renew the lease of their shop, but their attitude is so different, how much they don’t think of themselves!
“Well, hurry up and talk to Mr. Zheng and the others, and by the way, get the lease renewal contract done as well, we’re still in a hurry to get back!” Li Man Man said casually, with an air of certainty that Li Nan must not dare to disobey.
Li Nan smiled.
“You look like you’re sure of me. Helping you? On what basis?” There was a hint of coldness in Li Nan’s voice.
“What?!” Li Man Man was stunned, “What on what grounds? I’m your cousin!”
“So what?” Ri Nan asked rhetorically.
“You ……” Ri Man Man was so angry she couldn’t speak for half a day. “Lai Nan, what do you mean! We’re all relatives, what’s wrong with asking you for a favor?!”
“Relatives?” Li Nan snorted coldly, “Usually you are all high and mighty in front of our family? You have no respect for your eldest aunt and uncle, who are the elders? Forcing my mother and sister to kneel down to you when my father needed money for surgery? When you say relatives, is this what you mean?”
Li Man Man looked at Li Nan with a gaze full of dismay.
At this time, Lai Hong, however, was already losing his patience. “Li Nan, you think that because you have some power in your hands now, you are a villain, right? You are just a part-time worker, don’t use a chicken feather as an arrow!”
“A villain’s ambition? I guess so. Then stop talking nonsense to me here.”
With those words, Li Nan was about to turn around and rejoin the box.
“Li Nan! Are you kidding, you really aren’t going to help us!” Li Man Man shouted in disbelief.
“I’m sorry, I for one am not in the habit of begging to help others!”
With those words, Li Nan went straight into the box.
It really wasn’t that Li Nan was ungrateful, it was really because the actions of Li Man Man, their so-called relatives, had completely chilled his heart.
Li Man Man and Li Hong said that they wanted Li Nan to plead with Zheng Ruiming for them, but they looked like they were above the law, not like they were asking for help.
For such people, Lai Nan naturally did not have a good face.
Seeing that Li Nan really ignored them and went straight back to the box, Li Man Man and Li Hong were completely dumbfounded.
They had thought that with Li Nan in the middle, their lease renewal was a sure thing, but to their surprise, it turned out to be this way.
At this moment, Zheng Ruiming’s face was already gloomy again.
“All right, why are you still standing there, why don’t you hurry up and throw these two eyeless people out!”
Zheng Ruiming gave an order, and Vice President Wang and Ma Cheng hurriedly greeted those big men and set up Li Man Man and Li Hong.
“No, Zheng, we’re related to Li Nan, no, we’re related to Mr. Li!” Li Man Man said in a panic.
Zheng Ruiming sneered, “I just said it, just the two of you are not qualified to be Mr. Li’s relatives at all! Alright, throw it out!”
Before Lai Man Man and Lai Hong could react, they were directly carried by a group of big men and thrown out of Zi Qi Dong Lai.
“This Li Nan, he’s simply unrecognizable!” Li Hong bared his teeth in pain and had a hard time getting up from the ground.
“Poor wage earner, a month’s salary is not as much as what I earn in a day, and you really take yourself seriously!” Li Man Man was also blushing as he patted the dust from his body.
She had never been so humiliated as she was today, and it was because of that poor relative, Li Nan, who was despised by them!
“But Sister Man Man, it seems that if we want to settle the lease renewal, we can only do so through Li Nan. But what are we going to do now that he’s doing this to us?” Li Hong asked worriedly.
“What are we afraid of? If he won’t help, then we’ll go to his parents to pressure him. I don’t believe that he can still disobey his parents!” Li Man Man coldly snorted.
“That’s right!” Li Hong suddenly realized, “Uncle and Auntie will definitely help us out, after all, if their family is short of money again, they will still have to ask us to borrow!”
At the mention of this, Li Man Man’s face changed slightly.
After what had just happened, she wasn’t really sure if Li Nan and his family would ever have to ask for money again.
But it didn’t matter, after all, they were relatives!
