“You…bargained?” Pei Qian asked.

Assistant Xin smiled. “I was planning to, President Pei. But before I could even open my mouth, Manager Zhang offered a reduction himself.”

Pei Qian felt a little dizzy.

That’s right, no matter how good Assistant Xin’s eloquence was, how could she possibly bargain a four-yuan place down to one-and-a-half yuan?

It couldn’t be that simple!

Manager Zhang was just a manager in charge of this Shenhua Grand View building, where did he get so much power to waive the deposit and reduce the rent?

If four yuan was the standard price, reducing it to three and a half yuan would already be pretty good, reducing it to three yuan would be a super discount, but here it was directly reduced to one and a half yuan?

Were they trying to fool an idiot?

With this, they were losing hundreds of thousands every month. If Manager Zhang had so much power, he would have gone to heaven long ago. How could he still be just a manager in this building?

There must be something hidden behind this!

If it were someone else, they would definitely accept it happily.

But Pei Qian couldn’t.

Losing some money wasn’t a big deal. He could always find other ways to spend money in this cycle. The key was that this was a huge hidden danger!

This time it was a rent reduction, what would happen next time?

Who knows what other tricks they might pull!

Therefore, Pei Qian had to find out the culprit behind all this. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning every battle. He had to factor in these uncertain factors when calculating losses in the future, otherwise he might regret it for the rest of his life.

Pei Qian considered for a moment, “Take me to see Manager Zhang.”

Assistant Xin nodded, “Yes, that’s what I was thinking too. We should go there.”

Assistant Xin also felt that there was something fishy here and needed to be investigated? Sure enough, great minds think alike!

Pei Qian couldn’t help but feel very gratified.

There was a knock on the door, and an administrative girl handed Assistant Xin a bag of fruit.

Pei Qian: “?”

Assistant Xin said, “Manager Zhang waived so much rent for us this time, I also think you should visit him and thank him in person. So I specifically arranged for someone to buy fruit.”

Pei Qian: “???”

Was that what I meant by going to see Manager Zhang?

Who wanted to thank him!

But looking at Assistant Xin carrying the fruit and waiting for him, Pei Qian was speechless for a moment, and had to stand up and say, “Let’s go.”

The two went straight to Manager Zhang’s office.

The door was open, and Manager Zhang was busy with something inside.

Pei Qian was about to knock on the door to get Manager Zhang’s attention when Manager Zhang noticed Pei Qian at the door and stood up with a “whoosh.” “President Pei! What wind has brought you here? Please, have a seat!”

Pei Qian was a little dazed.

There really was a problem!

Manager Zhang wasn’t like this the last time he saw him.

Although Manager Zhang was polite before, it was more of a service-oriented attitude out of courtesy. He spoke to most of the company bosses in the building with the same attitude.

But this time, Manager Zhang’s attitude seemed even more respectful, a bit like the attitude of seeing a superior.

Pei Qian sat down full of suspicion.

“Manager Zhang has reduced a lot of rent for Tengda, President Pei is here to thank him.” Xin Hailu put the fruit on the table and said with a smile.

Pei Qian barely moved the corners of his mouth to show a smile, “That’s…right.”

Manager Zhang hurriedly said politely, “Oh, President Pei, you’re being too polite! It’s our honor for Tengda to be stationed in our Shenhua Grand View. This is what we should do, how can we accept your gifts? I should have visited you in person.”

Pei Qian: “……”

Something’s not right, something’s very wrong!

He was even more certain that there were some things he didn’t know behind this, and they were very deadly things.

Pei Qian decided to get straight to the point.

“Manager Zhang, let’s not beat around the bush. I’m afraid you can’t make the decision to reduce the rent to one and a half yuan, right?”

“I am especially grateful for this matter, and I hope to know which expert extended a helping hand to Tengda behind this. If there is an opportunity in the future, this favor must be repaid.”

Pei Qian said very sincerely.

“Uh, this…” Manager Zhang hesitated a bit.

Indeed, this level of reduction was definitely not something that he, a small manager, could decide. He definitely had to report it to his superiors for approval.

President Pei wasn’t stupid. If Manager Zhang insisted that this wasn’t the case, it would obviously be inappropriate.

Moreover, this wasn’t about seeking revenge. President Pei just wanted to make friends and repay a favor. There seemed to be no reason to hide it.

But the problem was, he really didn’t know where this order came from…

Manager Zhang was in a dilemma, and said with a smile, “President Pei, I’m just acting on orders, please don’t make things difficult for me? Actually, I don’t know what’s going on either. This was personally ordered by the higher-ups of our Shenhua Real Estate. As for which boss made the decision… I really can’t say.”

The higher-ups of Shenhua Real Estate personally ordered it??

There really was a problem, and a big problem!

How would the higher-ups of Shenhua Real Estate know about Tengda Games? Could it be that they play Tengda’s games?

What were they thinking, that was definitely impossible!

Looking at Manager Zhang’s appearance, he obviously really didn’t know who the order came from. Pei Qian had no choice but to give up, exchange a few polite words, and leave.

Manager Zhang thanked him profusely and emphasized again and again that if Tengda encountered anything unpleasant in Shenhua Grand View in the future, they must raise it as soon as possible, so as not to make things difficult for him.

Back in the office, Pei Qian sat silently in front of the computer and sought help from Qian Du.

Shenhua Real Estate is one of the industries of Shenhua Group. In recent years, the real estate industry has been booming, and Shenhua Group has also engaged in some real estate projects. Although it is not one of the best in the country, it has reached the first tier with the financial resources of Shenhua Group.

Shenhua Grand View is one of Shenhua Real Estate’s many properties in Jingzhou City.

The president of Shenhua Real Estate is Lin Zhou, the second son of Lin Zheng Nan, the president of Shenhua Group. He has only recently taken over Shenhua Real Estate and is promoting Shenhua Real Estate’s transformation to high-end, closer to the lifestyle of young people.

“Lin Zhou?”

Pei Qian felt that this name sounded a little familiar, and looking at the photo, his eyebrows seemed a bit familiar.

“Our company seems to have a rich second-generation female employee… also surnamed Lin?”

Pei Qian’s heart kept sinking.

Could it be???

Pei Qian searched for “Lin Wan” but didn’t find any useful information.

But the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt!

Before, Pei Qian’s impression of Lin Wan was that when she first came for an interview, Assistant Xin said that she was wearing tens of thousands of yuan worth of clothes and looked like a sweet, silly, and inexperienced person. Pei Qian accepted her based on the principle that one more employee wouldn’t hurt, and one less wouldn’t make a difference.

Later, because Lin Wan had worked in Tianhuo Studio, she was responsible for contacting some hardcore FPS game players, which objectively promoted the first wave of "Sea Fortress."

But this matter didn’t alarm Pei Qian, after all, anyone who had been in charge of this work could contact these players. Pei Qian didn’t think Lin Wan had any special identity, and thought she was just an ordinary rich second generation.

Later, Lin Wan was responsible for some simple work in the company, diligently, without showing off, and without any particularly outstanding performance, and Pei Qian had been ignoring her.

But now Pei Qian realized that he seemed to have made a serious mistake.

Rich second generations and rich second generations are also different…

Some rich second generations are just from wealthy families, while some rich second generations can waive President Pei’s rent by hundreds of thousands every month with just one phone call…

Pei Qian was a little dazed.

There was a mole!

And it had been lurking for several months, but he hadn’t noticed it!

What to do?

How to deal with it?

Pei Qian considered it again and again, but had no clue.

Too difficult!

“Calm down, I have no clue now, mainly because I don’t know anything about her.”

“Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning every battle. Lin Wan didn’t come to work for me for no reason, there must be some reason behind it.”

“If I can figure this out, maybe I can persuade her to go back and inherit her billions of assets?”

“Even if I can’t, at least I can get some useful information…”

Thinking of this, Pei Qian decided to call Zhou Muyan from Tianhuo Studio.

He definitely knew something!
