Chapter 76: The son and daughter of those two suckers?
Zhang Mo had to admit that she really had no experience when it came to renting an apartment.
She has only rented a house twice so far, and both times the landlords were very kind people. For example, this time, the landlady was so eager to give her her innocent 19-year-old son, a sports student, to be her live-in son-in-law.
Therefore, Zhang Mo never imagined that she would need to conduct a background check on the real estate company when renting a house.
However, after she urgently gathered information about "Ping An Real Estate", she discovered that the company did indeed have a lot of scandals.
Ping An Real Estate was founded 30 years ago by a female boss named Dong Shuchen.
Dong Shuchen, 54, is a well-known female entrepreneur in China. She is known for her decisive, bold, and straightforward style. She has carved out a wide niche for herself in the highly competitive industry and has always maintained a high level of public exposure.
Her marriage sparked heated discussions at the time.
When she was 36, she met a 24-year-old actor at a chance business event. At the time, the actor had just become famous for playing the male lead in an idol drama, but after meeting Dong Shuchen, he abruptly retired from the limelight and chose to get married and have children the following year.
At the time, almost no one was optimistic about this marriage with such a large age gap, but they lived happily together for many years. Until an accident occurred, their only son, aged 11, died in a car accident.
From then on, the once strong woman was devastated and could not recover. Helpless, the male actor took on the responsibility and became the pillar of Ping An Real Estate.
However, in Zhang Mo's opinion, it was obvious that this pillar of the company was doing a very poor job, with nepotism, reckless investments, and stubbornness. If he stayed in this position for a few more years, the company would probably collapse completely.
Considering Ping An Real Estate's current situation, Zhang Mo was prepared for a fierce conflict when she led the four demons into the "Platform Love Home" store.
As soon as he stepped into the store, a round-faced young man greeted him very warmly: "You must be Mr. Zhang? Oh, I've been looking forward to your visit to our store for so long, but you're such a busy person, it's been difficult for me to even see you."
Jiang Mian, like a bullied child, dared not speak loudly, only frantically signaling with her eyes: It's him! It's him! It's this person!
The man looked to be in his early twenties, not very tall, and was wearing a black down jacket over a white shirt and trousers—a classic sales outfit. He had a very pleasing round face, the kind of face that mothers and grandmothers love.
As they were talking, the man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he put his arm around Jiang Mian's shoulder very affectionately: "Oh, this must be Mr. Jiang, right? Oh my, he really looks just like your father, Uncle Jiang! He is indeed a handsome man!"
Your father used to always talk about you to me, saying how outstanding and handsome you were, and I thought he was exaggerating. Haha, now it seems it wasn't just fatherly bias; it was all the truth!
Jiang Mian (Jiang Bo himself): "?"
Lang Xing, Lang Yue, Wu Yun: "..."
Zhang Mo: "".
They were absolutely certain that "Uncle Jiang" had never said any of this to this person before, which showed that this kid really didn't tell the truth.
Zhang Mo raised an eyebrow: "This gentleman seems to know quite a bit about our company. What's your name?" It seems this kid hasn't missed a single one of the company's live streams lately.
“What a coincidence, I share the same surname as Mr. Zhang. My name is Zhang Yiming. Mr. Zhang can just call me Xiaoming.” With that, Zhang Yiming gestured for him to enter. “Mr. Zhang, you’re here today because of the rent, right? Come, come, please come inside. Let’s talk in the conference room.”
Zhang Mo: "Okay." She was indeed quite curious about what other nonsense this person might spout.
As they entered the store, two employees were eating fast food. Upon seeing them come in, they asked curiously, "Manager, who are these people?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yiming is the store manager.
Zhang Yiming said exaggeratedly, "This is one of our store's biggest customers! If you two are almost finished eating, go to the fruit shop next door and buy two fruit platters!"
Zhang Mo glanced at them and saw that the two employees' fast food boxes were full, clearly indicating that they had just started eating.
So Zhang Yiming's words just now weren't meant to get the two of them to buy a fruit platter, but rather to get them to leave.
"Oh, okay, okay, we'll go right away. We'll bring it over once it's cut up." People who are good at sales are usually quick-witted, and they understood the store manager's implication. The two of them quickly picked up their food and left.
Zhang Mo scoffed, "Manager Zhang is quite cautious, isn't she?"
Zhang Yiming pretended not to understand: "Mr. Zhang is a distinguished guest. Buying a fruit platter is nothing."
Zhang Mo scoffed and led the way into the conference room.
On the wall of the conference room hung a large 75-inch television, which was playing the most popular historical drama series recently.
A female ghost wearing a sky-blue dress was sitting on the edge of the conference table, staring intently at the television.
She possessed neither the black aura of a vengeful ghost nor the golden merit of virtue; only a faint white aura, somewhat resembling that of Ye Fangyu's son, Xiao Hao.
Beside her was a freshly opened boxed lunch.
Zhang Mo and the four demons: "......" Is this an unexpected gain?
Zhang Yiming strode over, picked up the remote, and turned off the TV. Then he picked up the lunchbox and casually put it in the refrigerator outside, repeatedly apologizing, "Sorry, it's a mess, I didn't tidy up. It'll be fine in a bit."
"Brother, who are these people?" The female ghost followed him around the whole time, muttering, "Hey, why did you turn off the TV? You could have just turned it on mute, I can read the subtitles."
After putting down the lunchboxes, Zhang Yiming walked back in: "Come, come, everyone, please sit down, especially Mr. Zhang, you should take the seat of honor. Shanhai Live is already a VIP among VIPs here. We should have had a good chat a long time ago." He seemed to be talking to Zhang Mo, but he was actually answering the female ghost's question.
The female ghost understood, immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed, "These are the son and daughter of those two suckers you were talking about? They found us so quickly?"
The four monsters had different expressions; some were filled with grief and indignation, while others couldn't help but laugh. However, they all tacitly looked at Zhang Mo's expression.
Zhang Mo smiled slightly and sat down next to Zhang Yiming: "It seems that it is indeed worth talking about."
