“Yeah, why, is it inconvenient for you?”
Xu Fei asked casually, and Huang Chengyun quickly shook his head while secretly making up his mind.
“No, no, no… how could it be inconvenient for me? Since Major General has already decided, just wait a moment, I’ll make a quick call.”
With that, Huang Chengyun scurried out of the café, heading outside to make his call.
Xu Fei watched him go, figuring it must really be putting Huang Chengyun in a tough spot, forcing him to call in some favors.
Originally, Xu Fei had intended to come clean, he just wanted Huang Chengyun to tag along and check out the place, but Huang Chengyun was too eager and too quick, darting out of the café before Xu Fei could even clarify.
Outside the café, Huang Chengyun found a quiet corner, pulled out his phone, and scrolled through his contacts to a name he rarely called, sighing before hitting the dial button.
Beep, beep, beep…
After a few rings, the call connected, and an impatient voice barked from the other end.
“Hey! Who the hell are you? If it’s nothing important, hang up quick, don’t ruin my vibe!”
Even in the noisy outdoor environment, Huang Chengyun could hear the unmistakable sounds of sultry moans coming through the phone.
But he wasn’t surprised by this, instead plastering on a smile and speaking politely.
“Uh… Brother Zhao, it’s me, Little Huang, Huang Chengyun, you know, the one who sent you a ten-thousand-yuan red envelope for your birthday last time…”
After Huang Chengyun’s persistent effort, the guy finally remembered who he was.
“Oh… you’re that four-eyed kid with the glasses, huh? Alright, what’s up with you today?”
“I heard Brother Zhao’s got connections with the Wangjing Tower property management, I’ve got a friend who wants to rent an office here, could you pull some strings and help out? Don’t worry, once it’s done, I’ll make it worth your while!”
Brother Zhao perked up the moment he heard this.
He was just a small-time hustler in the capital, used to living a rough life where everyone looked down on him.
Things only turned around after he started sucking up to his current boss.
Truth be told, the Wangjing Tower connection wasn’t even his, it belonged to his boss, but Brother Zhao was slick and reliable, earning enough trust to handle this business.
Relying on the prime location of Wangjing Tower, the kickbacks he got every year from people like Huang Chengyun begging for favors added up to a tidy sum.
You could say it was the foundation of Brother Zhao’s survival in the capital.
So, with a grin spreading across his face, he said, “Alright, since you’re so sincere, I’ll do it, I’ll be at Wangjing Tower in twenty minutes.”
After hanging up, Huang Chengyun let out a long breath, as if he’d just accomplished a major life goal, then hurried back into the café.
“How’d it go? If there’s any trouble, just say it.”
Xu Fei couldn’t help but comment when he saw Huang Chengyun return with sweat beading on his face.
“No problem, Major General, a friend of mine knows someone at Wangjing Tower’s property management, he’ll be here in about twenty minutes, just watch, it’ll be sorted!”
Seeing Huang Chengyun so confident, Xu Fei was happy to take it easy and kept waiting there.
