"What, not enough?"
Seeing the mockery in Chu Fan's smile, Lu Zuiqing continued, "How about three million?"
"You're not doing much right now, three million is enough for you to start a business and develop!"
"This opportunity is rare for someone like you. If you miss it, it won't come again!"
Understanding that Chu Fan had achieved nothing, Lu Zuiqing's condescending attitude began to surface.
Facing Lu Zuiqing, who seemed to be picking a fight for no reason, Chu Fan responded calmly, "Sorry, I'm not interested in money!"
Lu Zuiqing's eyes nearly bugged out.
He had never heard of anyone not being interested in money before.
However, he immediately thought that Chu Fan was definitely playing hard to get.
How could anyone in the world not be interested in money?
Those who claimed not to be interested were either overly proud or their price wasn't high enough.
"Five million, stay away from Ziqi!"
Chu Fan smiled helplessly, "Brother, I'm sorry, you should know, it's not that I don't want to leave."
"Moreover, it's not because you told me to leave that I will. You don't have that right yet!"
Lu Zuiqing's eyes immediately narrowed.
"Are you implying that it's not you bothering Ziqi, but Ziqi bothering you?"
Would his goddess bother with someone who had achieved nothing?
Shameless!
Under the influence of alcohol, Lu Zuiqing's jealousy and anger erupted.
"Kid, I'm being polite to you because of Ziqi. Don't push your luck."
"Have you looked in the mirror? What makes you think Ziqi would bother with you?"
"Five million for you, pack up and get out of Shanhai City immediately."
"I'm speaking to you nicely now. Recognize the situation and don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for using some methods that will make you regret it!"
When bribery failed, coercion was the only option.
His original intention was to chat casually and pass the time.
He hadn't expected Lu Zuiqing to be so fickle, changing his mind as quickly as flipping a book.
In that case, Chu Fan didn't mind indulging him.
"Oh, so you mean you are outstanding?"
After scanning Lu Zuiqing from head to toe, Chu Fan continued, "I don't see anything about you that's better than me."
Lu Zuiqing straightened his back, his chin slightly raised, "I am one of Shanhai City's Top Ten Outstanding Youths this year!"
"Just yesterday, my company signed a contract with the Azure Dragon Consortium, a business worth three billion."
"Do you have any of this?"
Upon learning about the collaboration with the Azure Dragon Consortium, Chu Fan smiled again.
"I don't have any of these things you possess."
"However, do you believe that I can make all of these things you own disappear!"
"Heh..."
Lu Zuiqing sneered disdainfully, "If you have the ability, then do it."
"I'd like to see how a jobless bum like you can make everything I own disappear!"
Someone's looking for death.
Naturally, I shall oblige.
Chu Fan took out his phone and called Ji Ningyue.
"Did you sign a three-billion contract with a company yesterday?"
Ji Ningyue didn't pay much attention to these matters and replied, "Young Master, I'm not sure about this. I'll have to ask the managers below."
"Okay, if it's confirmed, cancel the cooperation!"
"Also, the CEO of this company claims to be one of Shanhai City's Top Ten Outstanding Youths. I think he's undeserving. You know what to do, right?"
"Oh, and his name is Lu Zuiqing."
Ji Ningyue knew that this Lu Zuiqing had provoked the young master and was completely ruined for life.
Seeing Chu Fan hang up the phone, Lu Zuiqing sneered dismissively.
"Kid, who do you think you are?"
"You think you can make the Azure Dragon Consortium break off cooperation with me with just one phone call? Do you know how much compensation you'll face for unilateral termination?"
"Do you think you're the CEO of the Azure Dragon Consortium, able to break off cooperation with a single word?"
"Do you think you're the boss of Shanhai City, able to have me removed from the Top Ten Outstanding Youths with a single word?"
What Chu Fan was doing was on a different level, making it difficult to comprehend.
Completely disregarding Chu Fan, Lu Zuiqing felt that he was just bluffing.
Chu Fan ignored him and continued typing a message on his phone.
"Also, thoroughly investigate this person's company. Shanhai City doesn't need it!"
Originally, Chu Fan didn't intend to be so ruthless.
However, some people simply wouldn't repent until they saw the coffin and kept seeking death.
Since that was the case, I'm sorry, if you like to seek death, I will fulfill your wish.
Seeing Chu Fan remain silent, Lu Zuiqing became even more smug.
"What?"
"Lost your tongue?"
The outcome was already decided. Talking further was pointless.
As Lu Zuiqing, who was trying to take advantage, was about to continue suppressing Chu Fan, his phone rang.
Upon seeing that it was a call from the Azure Dragon Consortium management, Lu Zuiqing's expression changed drastically.
He had just mentioned this matter, and now the management was calling.
The coincidence made Lu Zuiqing feel uneasy.
The room was too noisy, so he quickly turned and went outside to take the call.
"President Wang, why are you calling so late?"
Lu Zuiqing asked nervously.
"Lu Zuiqing, I'm calling to inform you that the contract you signed with us yesterday is void. Come tomorrow to handle the closing matters!"
What?
Lu Zuiqing's unease was confirmed.
"President Wang, is there a mistake? The contract has already been signed, why is it suddenly void?"
"There's no why. We are severing cooperation with you, that's all!"
The other party gave Lu Zuiqing no room for explanation and hung up the phone.
A rare cooperation, suddenly void.
In that instant, Lu Zuiqing felt as if the sky had fallen.
After signing the contract yesterday, he had been fantasizing that as long as this business deal went through, his family would definitely ascend to the ranks of Shanhai City's elite within three years.
He hadn't expected the storm to arrive so suddenly.
Thinking of Chu Fan's phone call just now, Lu Zuiqing murmured in a daze.
"Could it really be him?"
"Isn't he a jobless bum? Why can he mobilize the Azure Dragon Consortium?"
Lu Zuiqing couldn't understand.
However, he decided to go and ask Chu Fan to mend his ways.
As he got up, his phone rang again.
"Director Liu, why are you calling me so late?"
Lu Zuiqing's voice began to tremble.
Given the previous incident, he realized that Director Liu's call was likely related to his status as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Youths.
"Little Lu, I apologize for disturbing you so late. I just received notification that your identity as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Youths will be removed from the registry."
Boom...
Lu Zuiqing felt as if struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, he finally realized how ignorant his actions had been.
What was he doing, picking a fight for no reason?
Why did he have to provoke him?
His cooperation with the Azure Dragon Consortium was canceled, and his identity as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Youths was revoked.
Lu Zuiqing truly wanted to cry at this moment.
However, thinking that his company was still there, and that he could regain everything if given time, Lu Zuiqing felt a little better.
Little did he know, daring to ignore and defy a demon god, how could there be a way out?
As Lu Zuiqing just regained his composure and adjusted his mindset to apologize sincerely to Chu Fan, his phone rang again.
What was once a pleasant ringtone had now become a death knell.
Seeing that it was a call from the company's finance department, a bad premonition surfaced in his heart once more.
