Once inside the mall, Lai Dajiang was incredibly extravagant, buying anything expensive without hesitation, as if money was just a number to him. The woman followed happily beside him, constantly offering advice and helping him select various luxurious items.
Soon, Lai Dajiang bought a large number of expensive items, roughly spending nearly ten thousand yuan. This made the woman beam with joy. She couldn't wait to get into the car, and then quickly took out a glittering gold necklace from among the many gifts. She enthusiastically put it on her neck and held it up in the car mirror, her eyes gleaming with greed and satisfaction.
However, at that moment, Lai Dajiang suddenly turned and glanced at her, then ruthlessly snatched the gold necklace from her hand and put it back. The woman was stunned, then asked in a displeased voice, "Mr. Lai, what do you mean by this?"
Faced with the woman's questioning, Lai Dajiang replied expressionlessly, "These things aren't for you!" He then ignored her, started his car, and sped towards the company. The car quickly arrived at the company entrance. After parking, Lai Dajiang coldly said to the woman, "Get to work!"
Although the woman was very dissatisfied, she dared not disobey Lai Dajiang's orders and had no choice but to get out of the car. However, her gaze never left the pile of tempting gifts on the back seat, her eyes filled with reluctance and longing.
Seeing that the woman was reluctant to leave, Lai Dajiang impatiently urged, "What are you looking at! Go to work!"
Upon hearing this, the woman angrily slammed the car door shut, swayed her slender waist, and stormed into the company's reception hall.
At this moment, Lai Dajiang had no time to care about the woman's feelings. He slammed on the gas pedal, and the car sped away like an arrow, leaving only a cloud of dust in the air.
Just as the woman stepped into the reception hall, the roar of a speeding car reached her ears. She froze, then turned and ran towards the door without hesitation. When she burst out, she was standing right where the car had stopped. Her face was contorted with anger, and she stomped her feet several times, as if to vent her frustration and rage. However, after a moment, she seemed to realize it was pointless, and angrily turned back into the reception hall.
Qian Duoduo was sitting in the living room, her gaze casually sweeping over Lai Dajiang, who had come to apologize. She noticed that Lai Dajiang was sitting upright in front of her, with a large pile of dazzling gifts at his feet. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her eyebrows lifted slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible mockery.
At this moment, Peng Fei perfectly demonstrated his role as an assistant. He skillfully poured a glass of water and placed it steadily on the table in front of Lai Dajiang. After completing this series of actions, he quietly walked behind Qian Duoduo and stood there, scrutinizing Lai Dajiang from above. This condescending gaze made Lai Dajiang feel an invisible pressure. He involuntarily shifted his position, trying to relieve the tension.
Lai Dajiang turned his gaze to Qian Duoduo across from him, thinking to himself: Although this wasn't the first time he'd seen this man, he'd only ever seen him on television before. Now, he was truly interacting face-to-face, and this close contact brought him an unprecedented sense of pressure. Especially the handsome man in the wheelchair beside Qian Duoduo, who exuded a powerful aura that commanded respect. Faced with this situation, Lai Dajiang couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling a slight contempt for his own cowardice. But the situation was beyond his control; he knew he was currently at a disadvantage and could only choose to temporarily lower his head and endure.
Lai Dajiang smiled and introduced himself to Qian Duoduo: "Hello, Mr. Qian. I am Lai Dajiang, the boss of Laiyang Company. I am truly sorry for the conflict caused by my men."
Qian Duoduo watched him without saying a word, letting him perform his own monologue. No matter how eloquent his words were, she had no intention of joining in.
Lai Dajiang smiled and spoke eloquently, but as time went on, his voice gradually grew weaker. The so-called conversation seemed to have turned into a one-man show, and no matter how hard he tried to create an atmosphere and stir his emotions, he could not get a response or resonance. This situation left Lai Dajiang feeling somewhat embarrassed and helpless.
After a moment of contemplation, Lai Dajiang seemed to suddenly remember something. He reached into his briefcase and pulled out a brand-new demolition document, gently placing it on the table in front of him. Then, he slightly raised his head, turned his gaze to Qian Duoduo sitting opposite him, and said sincerely, "Mr. Qian, this is the demolition document I have revised. Please take a look."
Just then, Peng Fei, who had been standing to the side, quickly stepped forward, deftly picked up the document, and turned to walk towards the other two people sitting on the sofa not far away. Peng Fei approached them, politely nodded, and then handed them the document. One of the people on the sofa unhesitatingly reached out, took the document, and began to read it carefully.
Seeing this, Lai Dajiang felt a surge of intense curiosity. He lowered his voice slightly and asked Qian Duoduo beside him in a low voice, "Mr. Qian, may I ask who these two are...?"
Peng Fei said with a smile, "These two are elite lawyers from our Wanmao Group's legal team. They are quite professional in the area of housing demolition and relocation."
Lai Dajiang could only nod in agreement upon hearing Peng Fei's words. Large companies and conglomerates were indeed different from small, insignificant companies like theirs.
A short while later, one of the lawyers stood up and placed the documents in front of Qian Duoduo, saying, "Mr. Qian, there's nothing wrong with the documents."
Qian Duoduo nodded and waved to him, and the lawyer immediately nodded back to his seat. Even this simple wave made Lai Dajiang feel a pang of envy; when would he be able to do that?
Qian Duoduo said, "Boss Lai, this house has a certain significance to me. Although I don't only own this property, I have carefully designed every brick and tile here."
When Lai Dajiang heard Qian Duoduo's words, his heart skipped a beat. The compensation given to Qian Duoduo was calculated according to the normal house demolition documents, and it was all real money. The demolition compensation for her small, dilapidated second-floor house was enough to cover the compensation for the ten or eight houses that Lai Dajiang had demolished before. It was just that the situation was beyond his control, and he couldn't compete with her.
He immediately put on a smile and said, "Chairman Qian, you're also in the real estate business. We're just a small family business, and we can't afford too much demolition compensation!"
