45: Chapter 45, It’s him!
45: Chapter 45, It’s him!
The bidding meeting was at a building in the city center.
After parking the car, Fang Yi noticed that most of the vehicles here were quite pricey, and there were several luxury cars among them, like extended Lincolns and Porsches.
After getting out of the car, Fang Yi truly took on the role of a little follower behind Shen Binnan.
Today, Shen Binnan was still dressed in her OL professional attire, but in addition to the blazer that perfectly outlined her upper body, she had swapped her skirt suit for trousers.
Her black hair was neatly coiled up, making her tall figure more imposing than ever.
If Shen Binnan in a skirt suit was the perfect empowered woman, then Shen Binnan in trousers had become decidedly masculine.
Just imagine, when a perfect ice queen like Shen Binnan exudes a masculine charm, she completely embodies the aura of a queen, further arousing men’s desire to conquer.
Fang Yi was feeling precisely that at this moment.
Shen Binnan had her bag carried by Fang Yi.
Upon arriving at the entrance, there were greeters who needed to check invitations or IDs.
Shen Binnan gestured with a hook of her finger, and Fang Yi immediately passed the bag to her like a lackey.
Shen Binnan pulled out her invitation, and after a glance from the greeter, it was returned with a respectful smile.
Shen Binnan carelessly threw the bag back to Fang Yi and sauntered into the hall with style as Fang Yi quickly followed.
“Damn it, I really am the lackey now,” Fang Yi grumbled internally.
He had never played the role of an underling before.
Inside the hall, Fang Yi and Shen Binnan headed straight for the elevator.
However, just after Fang Yi and Shen Binnan entered the elevator, a crowd rushed in, quickly pushing the two of them into a corner of the elevator.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you,” Fang Yi offered proactively, posing as the protector of a beauty.
Shen Binnan stood behind him with a straight back, speaking indifferently, “Just don’t try to take advantage of me.”
Fang Yi chuckled and replied, “How could I?
Am I that sort of person?”
Shen Binnan slightly lifted her eyelids and didn’t speak, but her expression was unmistakably affirmative; she clearly thought Fang Yi was that sort of person.
Fang Yi felt deflated and inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure.
It was none other than Wang Chuye, flanked by a blonde beauty, and on his other side stood another woman, whose figure, from the back, seemed a bit large.
“What are you planning to do?” Shen Binnan noticed Fang Yi’s gaze and saw Wang Chuye as well.
Fang Yi chuckled without responding.
Then he took a coin from his pocket, extended his hand forward, and with a flick of his fingers, the coin slapped onto the plump woman’s buttocks with a snap.
“Ah!” The plump woman let out a sharp scream: “Who was that!
Who touched my butt!”
It was him!” Fang Yi, considering himself a good citizen, immediately pointed out Wang Chuye.
Actually, Wang Chuye was utterly baffled, having no idea what had just happened.
But upon hearing Fang Yi’s voice and turning around, he saw Fang Yi and Shen Binnan, and he wasn’t about to admit to something he hadn’t done, certainly not him.
The plump woman had already fixed her gaze on Wang Chuye, exclaiming, “Look at you, dressed all respectable, yet you dare touch my butt!
Everyone in the elevator now had their eyes on Wang Chuye, the blonde beauty with him also looking at him in astonishment and disbelief.
Wang Chuye couldn’t just admit to it, so he quickly retorted, “I didn’t do it!”
Who else would it be!
Only you would covet my beauty,” the plump woman said, snorting and thrusting out her ‘one-of-a-kind’ bosom.
Wang Chuye was completely stunned before he finally cursed, “Fatty!
Keep slandering me, and I swear I’ll…”
The plump woman, however, was not afraid and boldly moved closer, “Want to hit me, huh?
Come on, you touch my ass and now you want to hit me?
You beast in human clothing, pervert, a demon of lust…”
Wang Chuye finally understood, he couldn’t win this battle, so he simply shut his mouth, suffering in silence like a mute tasting bitter herbs.
But inadvertently, he caught sight of Fang Yi behind him, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly realized something.
The elevator doors opened, and the people inside filed out.
The plump woman left behind a threatening remark before departing, leaving Wang Chuye infuriated!
Fang Yi, ignoring the murderous gaze from Wang Chuye, walked out of the elevator with Shen Binan.
“Fang Yi!” Wang Chuye shouted angrily.
Fang Yi stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Wang Chuye with a lazy gaze, “What’s up?”
Wang Chuye’s face was now livid with rage.
Staring at Fang Yi, he gritted his teeth and said, “It was you who did it just now, wasn’t it!”
Fang Yi’s simple and direct admission actually stunned Wang Chuye.
He had assumed Fang Yi would argue back; even if Fang Yi was responsible, he wouldn’t admit it, but Fang Yi’s outright confession left Wang Chuye speechless.
I won’t let you off!” Wang Chuye said coldly, having marked Fang Yi as an enemy, waiting for a chance to take revenge.
Fang Yi replied indifferently, “Fine, I’ll be waiting.”
His words were said with an air of nonchalance, almost as if he was saying ‘whatever you come at me with, I’ll handle it’, filled with contempt, which further infuriated Wang Chuye.
“You sure know how to cause trouble,” Shen Binan remarked.
“It’s all because of you,” Fang Yi complained.
Shen Binan, ever so clever, immediately grasped the meaning behind Fang Yi’s words and said, “Okay, it’s because of me, but it seems like he holds a complete grudge against you now, and it looks like it has nothing to do with me.”
Fang Yi said, “Doesn’t matter.
He doesn’t like me, and I don’t like him.
Better to strike first, right?”
Shen Binan said, “But all you’re doing is making him angry, you’re not really hurting him.”
Fang Yi explained, “You don’t understand.
When dealing with enemies, besides physical attacks, you also have to attack their spirit.
Even if you can’t hurt them, it’s good to just disgust them.”
Fang Yi laughed, a cunning laugh, and Shen Binan couldn’t help but recall the tactic Fang Yi had used back in the elevator.
No one had seen Fang Yi’s move clearly, only Shen Binan.
With such skill on his side, yet he opted to engage in such underhanded actions, Shen Binan found herself understanding him less and less.
They walked into a large hall, which marked the end of their journey.
The place was opulently decorated, like a banquet being prepared, and Fang Yi gave it a brief glance before saying, “Is this place for a tender or for hosting a party?”
“This tender isn’t government-run; it’s privately organized.
Besides the tender, there’s also a fundraiser, and everyone here is a person of certain status, so this kind of decor isn’t surprising,”
As Shen Binan spoke, she picked up a booklet from a shelf near the door, flipped through it briefly, stopped on a certain page, and placed it in front of Fang Yi, “I’m here for this.”
Fang Yi looked closely and raised an eyebrow, “A ring?”
