Seeing Huang Chengyun’s anxious expression, Brother Zhao couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
“Relax, as long as you’ve got the red envelope ready for me afterward, this’ll go off without a hitch!”
To ensure nothing went wrong, Huang Chengyun gritted his teeth, pulled out his phone, and opted to transfer the money right then and there.
“There, all set now, Brother Zhao, it’s all up to you!”
Brother Zhao’s phone pinged with a notification, and seeing the 100,000 yuan hit his account, he was over the moon, clapping Huang Chengyun on the shoulder.
“Not bad, kid, didn’t expect you to move so fast, don’t worry, I’ll get this done for you!”
With that settled, Brother Zhao left with the property office staff, presumably to hash out the details in the back.
What followed was a slightly drawn-out waiting period, Xu Fei, armed with his contract, wasn’t worried at all and remained perfectly at ease.
Huang Chengyun, on the other hand, seemed a bit on edge.
Meanwhile, after pocketing the bribe, Brother Zhao had just stepped into a more private office with the property staff, casually transferring 20,000 yuan to the worker.
“Brother Zhao, looks like you fleeced that kid good this time!”
Brother Zhao, clearly in high spirits, replied, “Alright, alright, you got your cut, quit acting coy, hurry up and submit the report, get the paperwork sorted!”
The staff member nodded repeatedly and sat down at the computer to get to work.
Wangjing Tower, thanks to its prime location, had shops and offices that were always in high demand.
Even with a dozen units still vacant, the property office deliberately held them back, aiming to drive up the price.
Today, with both Brother Zhao and the staff member pocketing their shares, they were willing to bend the rules and rent out one of the offices.
This process required approval from Brother Zhao’s boss, who’d need to sign off on it.
Brother Zhao lounged in the office, even finding time to flirt with a curvaceous clerk sitting nearby.
But just a few minutes later, the staff member came rushing back, drenched in sweat.
“Uh… Brother Zhao, this might not work out for now!”
Hearing this, Brother Zhao’s mood soured instantly.
If it couldn’t be done, it meant he’d likely have to refund the 100,000 yuan bribe.
But money that went into Brother Zhao’s pocket wasn’t something he’d ever spit back out.
Slamming the table with a loud *bang*, he barked, “Bastard! What do you mean it can’t be done? We’ve handled this simple procedure a million times before, it’s always worked, why not now?”
“I’d like to see who’s got the guts to mess with this!”
After his outburst, the staff member awkwardly held up his phone, showing an ongoing call.
The moment Brother Zhao saw the name on the screen, his earlier bravado deflated like a popped balloon.
“Brother Xing? Y-You… when did you call?”
Brother Xing on the other end let out a cold snort.
“Hmph! Didn’t you just want to know who’s meddling? Well, I’ll tell you straight, it’s me who gave the order! What, you’re not even listening to me now?”
