Chapter 906: [(691)] Sea Ghost, Seventh Rank! (Thank you to Hengdian A Niu Ge for the combined reward and support)_3 Chapter 906: [(691)] Sea Ghost, Seventh Rank! (Thank you to Hengdian A Niu Ge for the combined reward and support)_3 “You’re so rich, even if I were to increase the price tenfold, it’s nothing but a trifle for you, isn’t it? For my small business, a year’s work doesn’t add up to what you spend in a single month,” the fatso said shamelessly, even mocking Ji Yuyan for her reluctance to spend more money.
“You don’t have to prod us, and don’t think we’ll do what you say just because we’re young and thin-skinned,” Pei Jinye spoke up.
The fatso wanted to say something else, but Pei Jinye didn’t even glance at him as he said to Ji Yuyan, “Let’s go somewhere else. With an owner like this, who knows what kind of trouble we might run into later.”
Ji Yuyan nodded vigorously, “Dragon City is so big, we don’t lack for places like this one.”
The fatso’s face changed color, he wanted to say something but was interrupted by Pei Jinye, “That’s not how you do business. Burn all your bridges, and you’ll regret it later.”
The fatso became enraged, “If you don’t have money, just say so, no need to act all high and mighty!”
“Do you believe I’ll punch you?” Ji Wutian was suddenly furious.
Bodyguards surged forward from behind the fatso.
But Pei Jinye held Ji Wutian back, “Don’t be rash–these guys are just working for their pay. Times are tough, and it’s already hard enough to earn money.”
Ji Wutian simmered down a bit, pointing at the fatso behind the bodyguards, “I won’t trouble these brothers, but you…stop all talk and no action, if you’re so tough, why don’t you fight me?”
The fatso, too angry, hid behind others, “No money, but still acting all righteous, huh?”
Ji Yuyan and Murong Xiyue didn’t want to escalate the situation and stopped Pei Jinye and Ji Wutian from leaving.
As Ji Wutian went downstairs, he kept cursing under his breath.
“That damned fatso, normally, I could take him down.”
Pei Jinye shook his head, “Don’t bother getting angry over such a person. Let’s go get something to eat.”
It was just as they were having a meal.
Ji Yuyan received a call from the fatso, she was furious and hung up directly.
“Isn’t he annoying? I’ve already said we’re not renting, and he still calls to harass!”
Pei Jinye seemed to know what had happened but didn’t say a word.
The phone rang, was hung up, and three seconds later rang again.
Pei Jinye gestured, took the phone, and pressed the speakerphone.
The fatso was almost crying on the phone, admitting he had been too harsh and was willing to negotiate again.
“You think because you say rent I’ll rent? No, I won’t!” Ji Yuyan shouted on the side.
“Miss Ji, I truly made a mistake,” the fatso said nearly with a sob.
Ji Yuyan suddenly realized something, looked suspiciously at Pei Jinye and the others, mouthing, “What happened?”
Pei Jinye shook his head, not saying… the Murong family had been following all along.
Apparently, it was the work of the Murong Family.
He looked at Ji Yuyan, “You’re the CEO, it’s up to you whether to rent or not.”
“I like the location, but not the owner… just the thought of dealing with him in the future makes me sick,” Ji Yuyan shook her head.
Pei Jinye, holding the phone, said, “You’ve heard, have a good shame. And don’t call anymore to bother us; otherwise, things will get uglier.”
After hanging up the phone, he handed it to Ji Yuyan.
“How did he change his tune so suddenly?”
“I don’t know.”
“Let’s forget about him; we’ll visit two more places this afternoon to make a decision quickly.”
…
The afternoon went surprisingly fast.
The quoted price was the same as the initial offer from the first place. The owner, a beautiful woman, was easy to talk to, pleasing to listen to.
Ji Yuyan quickly hit it off with her and made the deal.
“Now it’s time to hire staff–I’m starting to feel more and more like a powerful woman, wow, it’s really something.” Ji Yuyan exclaimed proudly.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but smile.
His phone vibrated just then.
He glanced at it, a message from Feng Jiao.
Yesterday, he had been in contact with the Jiang family; he asked Feng Jiao to come over.
Since heading to Dragon City, Feng Jiao’s hunting plans had been put on hold; she was now assigned to take care of security with Jiang Xinrun.
“Something this afternoon?”
“A personal matter. Why, do you have plans?”
“Not really, just asking.” Ji Yuyan giggled, and after saying goodbye to Pei Jinye, she left arm in arm with Murong Xiyue.
Pei Jinye left the school.
Flagged down a car.
“Go to Dragon City Airport.”
While waiting for the car.
He suddenly saw a dozen police cars speeding past.
The driver complained, “When is this going to end?”
“What’s happening now?” Pei Jinye asked.
“What else but pirates? Those Eastern Continent guys, what are they doing to let these pirates come from the ports to the mainland?”
The driver kept grumbling.
Pei Jinye did not engage much…
Twenty minutes later.
Pei Jinye got out of the car at the airport.
Before long, a woman with wavy hair, dressed all in red, appeared.
“…”
Pei Jinye watched her silently.
Without her mission attire, that change was supposed to be dramatic, right?
He wasn’t used to it.
“Little brother.”
Feng Jiao recognized Pei Jinye in an instant, giving him a flirty look and speaking affectionately, “Heard of you before, didn’t think you’d be even more charming than in the photos.”
Pei Jinye smiled.
For some reason, Feng Jiao suddenly felt a chill.

But she didn’t dwell on it.
When shaking hands with Pei Jinye, she even snuck in a bit of flirting.
“Such tender hands.”
“…Let’s go,” Pei Jinye turned away.
Feng Jiao let out a coy laugh, thinking Pei Jinye was just shy, and followed him.
