Chapter 456 Collect Ten Times the Rent from Me

This time, Li Fagui decided to no longer keep a low profile.

He thought that he was almost sixty years old, and he had to make sure that Ma Hehua attended the banquet in a grand manner.

"Go, bring me that car worth over twenty million." Li Fagui sat in the living room and shouted to his assistant, Xiao Xue, on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Li, have you forgotten? You rented that car out! You rented it to your rival's boss for 10,000 a day." Xiao Xue's helpless voice came from the phone.

Li Fagui was stunned, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

"Then... tell me, what other cars can we drive out?" Li Fagui asked, frowning.

"A used Volkswagen, the one that cost 50,000 yuan. You said it was pretty good before, and that sitting in it could lower the enemy's guard."

Li Fagui: "……………………"

"Alright! Drive it over here! It'll have to do!"

"Okay, Mr. Li," the elementary school student replied.

After hanging up the phone, Li Fagu looked up at the ceiling and couldn't help but wonder if he was being a little too frugal.

The banquet they were going to was Tianfeng Banquet, a technical exchange meeting hosted by a CEO.

_

The banquet brought together elites from all walks of life, featuring advanced technology demonstrations and intense exchanges of ideas.

Under the dazzling lights, people dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding champagne, chatted and laughed to elegant music.

The banquet was a scene of opulent luxury, with elegantly dressed women in fine clothes.

"My God! When I got off the bus just now, I actually saw a Volkswagen. It was dilapidated. I wonder which impoverished family it belonged to."

A wealthy woman spoke to the person next to her with a look of disgust, her sarcastic tone as if the car were a huge joke.

"So what if my car is old and worn out? Is it taking up space in your house or something?" Li Fagui was already in a bad mood because of the car, and when he heard the rich woman's words, he immediately flew into a rage.

This lady was incredibly unlucky; she went so far as to gossip about the person in question. What a terrible misfortune!

Everyone around was stunned, turning to look at Li Fagu, who was glaring angrily at the woman, bombarding her with questions: "Whose wife are you? What's your husband's name? What's your company? Which intersection are you from? Do you know me?"

These five questions were like five lashes, catching the noblewoman off guard and leaving her stunned on the spot.

"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about? Next time I hear you gossiping like that, I'll slap you a few times. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility."

Ma Hehua also had a fiery temper. She glared at the noblewoman with a gloomy expression and spat out a harsh "Pah!" She said, "You gossipy woman, you'll go straight to the Tongue-Pulling Hell after you die."

Her rude manner silenced the previously lively crowd, who were all intimidated by the couple's imposing presence.

"What are you looking at? Who is your man? Tell me his name right now."

The wealthy woman was so frightened by the couple that she almost cried, inwardly cursing them for their lack of manners.

"Hey! Mr. Li, what's going on?" The organizer rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

He had a powerful background and had heard some rumors. He knew that Li Fagui was not someone to be easily offended, and that Li Fagui's father-in-law was a figure of great importance.

"Whose wife is this?" Li Fagui's handsome face showed a hint of anger.

"This is Mrs. Wang Tongda, the general manager of TouChe Glass Company. This is also her first time meeting you, so please bear with her," the organizer hurriedly said.

Without saying a word, Li Fagui took out his phone and immediately called his assistant: "Elementary school, is that Touche Glass Company on our rent collection list?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, what's up?" Xiao Xue's voice came from the phone.

“Charge me ten times the rent, take it or leave it. There are plenty of people willing to rent that spot.” Li Fagui said, and hung up the phone amidst the astonished and bewildered expressions of the crowd.

Upon hearing this, the noblewoman's face turned ashen.

Just then, Wang Tongda came out of the restroom and before he could even say hello to his friend, his phone rang.

"What? Rent increase? Ten times? Damn it, why don't they just rob us?" Wang Tongda was so angry that his face turned red and veins bulged on his forehead.

The rent was originally over 300,000 yuan a year, but now it has increased tenfold, which is over 3 million yuan. This is no small amount for the company.

He slammed down the phone, and when he looked up, he saw everyone around him looking at him with pity.

The recent ordeal in Xiaoshan is still fresh in our minds. Just because they neglected Li Fagui's daughter, not only did their rent increase dramatically, but they were also kicked out of the lucrative East, West, South, and North Development Zones.

Now, Wang Tongda seems to be repeating the same mistake, running right into the line of fire.

"Old...Old Song, why are you looking at me like that?" Wang Tongda felt a chill run down his spine, and his voice trembled involuntarily.

"Sigh! They say the women in the house are the face of the men. Mr. Wang, your wife is really 'impressive'!" Old Song shook his head helplessly.

"My wife? What happened?" Wang Tongda asked, puzzled, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

"Old Wang, what are you asking here? You'll find out when you get up ahead," another person said.

Wang Tongda hurried forward, and when he saw Li Fagui looking at his wife with disgust, he immediately felt terrible.

He forced himself to step forward, his face beaming with a smile: "Mr. Li, I've heard so much about you. This is my wife. She's not good with words, so I apologize for any offense she may have caused you. What do you think?"

He was secretly annoyed. He had been mocking Xiao Shan not long ago, but he never expected that it would be his turn so soon. Now he really couldn't laugh anymore.

"Not good at all. Putting everything else aside, let's not cooperate anymore. You're obviously not a good person."

Li Fagui remained indifferent, showing no respect whatsoever to Wang Tongda.

After saying that, he turned around, grabbed Ma Hehua, and walked inside.

Ma Hehua glared at the couple before leaving with Li Fagui.

The main hall inside has a dance hall with colorful lights flashing and melodious music playing.

Li Fagui knew that Ma Hehua had always wanted to go and see the place, and now he just wanted to take her away from these upsetting people and things so that they could enjoy the banquet.

Those around them stared in disbelief as they walked away. The scene was both incredibly awkward and sensational, and it would surely become a hot topic of conversation in the industry.

Wang Tongda stood there, his face turning pale and then red. He knew he had really messed up this time.

"Smack!"

The loud slap made everyone laugh.

"You...you hit me?"

"Hmph! I've hit you. Go home and wait for bankruptcy! The company's contracts are gone. I, Wang Tongda, am really unlucky to have married such a gossipy woman."

He was truly desperate. The identity of someone who could attend the banquet couldn't be simple. Even if someone drove a beat-up Volkswagen, or even an electric car, it couldn't be openly mocked.

You could be ruined in this industry with just a few words from someone, so he never dares to underestimate anyone.

Unexpectedly, they were betrayed by their own people.
