"You have to give me an explanation today, or I won't let this go."

Ding Baichuan sighed and said straightforwardly, "We can't afford to mess with that man."

Qi Hong paused, then asked seriously, "Do you know that man? What's his background?"

Ding Baichuan explained, "Isn't our company just managing the villas at Red Villa Bay? He is now the owner of No. 8 Villa there."

Qi Hong's eyes widened slightly in surprise, "Wasn't No. 8 Villa owned by the Tao family? How did it become his? Did Tao Yaoyang sell it to him?"

Ding Baichuan nodded, "It was originally Tao Yaoyang's, but later Tao Yaoyang transferred it to this person at a very low price. You should understand what that implies."

"How much did he sell it for?" Qi Hong asked with suspicion.

"22 million."

"That cheap?" Qi Hong exclaimed in shock. Their family used to have a villa in this community too, lived there for a year or two, and sold it for nearly 20 million, though it was not as good as No. 8 Villa.

And No. 8 Villa is the best villa at Red Villa Bay, much larger than other villas in the same area, 22 million is definitely a bargain, the market price should be at least 25 million.

"So, you should understand. Someone even Tao Yaoyang had to sell property cheaply to get close to, do you think he's a simple character? We can't afford to offend even Tao Yaoyang, let alone someone Tao Yaoyang has to curry favor with."

At this point, Ding Baichuan asked with a serious expression, "Tell me the truth, before I arrived, did you have any conflict with this person?"

Qi Hong was a bit frightened, her face changed variously, then she shook her head with some uncertainty, "I shouldn't have offended him. It's just... before he appeared, I slapped that woman."

She came from an official family background, her husband Ding Baichuan started a property company with her family's connections, and now it's among the industry leaders in Xiu Zhou City.

But now her father has long retired, and the family no longer has solid connections. Although her husband Ding Baichuan has maintained some new connections, they're still not enough in front of someone like Tao Yaoyang.

If she offended someone even Tao Yaoyang had to please, what it means is obvious. If the other side wants revenge, there are plenty of ways to do it.

Ding Baichuan also understood this, frowning, "It's just unclear what relationship that woman has with him, if just ordinary friends it might be okay, if it's a more intimate relationship, you must make amends, apologize if necessary, compensate if necessary. In short, we can't afford to offend someone we can't afford to offend."

"Could it be you got the wrong person? That man looked just around thirty, driving at most a three hundred thousand Buick. Is he really the owner of No. 8 Villa?"

"No mistake. When I found out No. 8 Villa changed owners, I specifically looked at his photo and information, remembered his face, and also his car's license plate, which is a Buick. Both matched, how could it be wrong? Some powerful people just like to keep a low profile, unlike you who love to change luxury cars, wasn't the X5 fine? Insisted on changing to X7, see, now you crashed it?"

"Is that my fault? It was that little Cissy who suddenly changed lanes to overtake, she was at fault."

"Alright," Ding Baichuan interrupted her, "the accident report should have the woman's phone number, I think once the damage assessment is settled, you should contact her to apologize and if possible, make friends with her. Maybe that woman is his lover, if we can avoid offending, it's better not to."

Qi Hong frowned, very unwilling, "I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize to her? If anyone should apologize, it's her to me. I bought a new car, not even a month old before she crashed it. Even if repaired, it's a devalued car now."

"You hit someone. Even if it's her fault, hitting someone makes it your fault. Especially since the other party has backing. Is it worth it to make an enemy over such a small matter?"

Qi Hong immediately fell silent.

In Chen Feng's Buick, Han Shipei in the passenger seat was constantly wiping tears with tissues, making Chen Feng regret meddling.

Chen Feng didn't offer any words of comfort, and after a few minutes of driving, they both remained silent without speaking.

At a traffic light intersection, Han Shipei finally asked with a tearful voice, "Brother Feng, do you know any quick ways to make money? I want to earn more money, otherwise after compensating them this time, I won't have money for food."

Chen Feng shook his head directly, "I don't have such a way."

"I know you're a big boss, very rich. How can you not have a way? You must know other wealthy bosses. Do you think you can help introduce me? I... I can work as their personal assistant, very cheap, just twenty thousand a month. But I need at least three months' salary in advance."

Chen Feng of course understood what this "personal assistant" meant, he glanced at her with some speechlessness.

To be honest, Han Shipei is quite attractive, mainly young, just over twenty, youthful and beautiful, still very appealing to men. Especially older men.

If she really wanted to be a mistress, there definitely would be a market, that's certain.

"Do you really need to do that? Isn't it just tens of thousands? You can't come up with it? Even if you really can't, you can borrow some in the meantime. Isn't Hong Xiaodan your best friend? Borrow a few tens of thousands from her, it shouldn't be a problem."

Han Shipei replied with a wracked face, "I've already borrowed tens of thousands from her in bits and pieces. Just last week I borrowed fifty thousand from her."

Chen Feng was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "What are you borrowing so much money for?"

"My family needed it. Last week, my brother wanted to buy a car, and the family asked me to make the down payment. I had no choice but to borrow fifty thousand from Little Dan."

Chen Feng was at a loss for words.

"Brother Feng, please help. Otherwise, I really might not survive."

"That's an exaggeration. There's no hurdle you can't get over," Chen Feng could only say this.

"You're not me, you don't know how hard it is for me."

"I do know a few who count as being rich, but they probably don't need a personal assistant, they probably already have one."

"Can't they add one more?"

"...Alright. If you really desperately need money, I'll lend you fifty thousand. But you must write an IOU."

"Ah... this... this is too much to ask?" Han Shipei was clearly tempted.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. However, I state in advance that you must repay me this fifty thousand. Return it to me by the end of the year."

"By the end of the year, I... I might not be able to repay it."

"When will you be able to repay it?"

"Next year... no, the year after next, the following year I should be able to repay it."
