Chapter 110: [110] Are you sure this isn’t a bit unscrupulous?_1
“Oh right, why didn’t you come back so late? Who were you fooling around with?”

Qin Yanan wiped the tears from her face, sizing up Tang Feng with scrutinous eyes.

“Who I fool around with has what to do with you? No, wait, what do you mean by fooling around? Do you even know how to use words?”

Tang Feng felt that this woman was not acknowledging her place. She was his boss, not his girlfriend; what right did she have to interrogate him?

“How does it have nothing to do with me? It has a lot to do with me, okay?” Qin Yanan began to argue irrationally.

“Then tell me, how does it have anything to do with you? If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer today, see how I’ll take care of you.” The more Tang Feng thought about it, the angrier he became, especially since his chance to end his virgin life was ruined by this woman.

“Because… because I often eat with you, it’s very easy to spread viruses. What if you fool around with other women, catch some disease, and then infect me? How wronged would I be?” Qin Yanan stated with conviction.

Tang Feng truly admired her ability to argue against reason. His gaze darkened as he swept it across her, “Then from now on, I won’t fool around with other women, just with you. That should be fine, right?”

“You… what do you want to do?”

Qin Yanan quickly scooted back, eyeing him with a guarded expression.

She was still wearing that red silk camisole nightgown, revealing her delicate figure without reservation.

“Heh heh heh, in the dead of night, a lone man and a single woman, alone in a room, what else could we do?” Tang Feng said with a mischievous smile, making a motion as though he was about to pounce.

“Ah, help…”

Qin Yanan let out a scream and hurriedly fled.

Tang Feng did not chase after her, instead, he slumped onto the sofa feeling as if there was nothing left for him in life.

It seems that his journey from boyhood to manhood was still long and arduous.

…

The next morning, Tang Feng was awakened from his sleep by the rumbling sound of a vehicle.

Looking out the window, he saw a box truck parked downstairs, and a group of men in work clothes were getting off the truck.

He guessed these were the people Qin Yanan mentioned who were coming to reclaim the old air conditioners.

When he stepped out of his room, he saw Qin Yanan in the hallway talking to a man.

The man was around fifty years old and had a very honest face, looking like a trustworthy person at a glance.

“Tang Feng, you’re just in time. This is Mr. Wu, he’s here to take the air conditioners. You take Mr. Wu and start removing the air conditioners on the second floor, while I go inform the other tenants. Here are the keys.” Qin Yanan said, handing over a set of keys.

Tang Feng didn’t say much, and opened the doors on the second floor in order for Mr. Wu and his crew to remove the air conditioners.

The crew worked efficiently. With their teamwork, it took them only about fifteen minutes to disassemble an old air conditioner.

While making small talk with Mr. Wu, Tang Feng casually asked, “How much are these old air conditioners worth each?”

Mr. Wu answered, “I’ve already negotiated with Miss Qin, it’s six hundred per unit.”

Although Tang Feng was not very familiar with the second-hand air conditioner market, he still felt that the price seemed low.

All the air conditioners in this apartment block were installed uniformly five years ago, and they were the best available on the market at that time, each one costing several thousand yuan.

Six hundred yuan each, they were practically being sold at scrap value.

But Qin Yanan, that wasteful woman, kept saying she wanted to improve the tenants’ quality of living.

He naturally didn’t want to be the bad guy, so he let her have her way.

After all, she was a little rich woman worth billions. To her, this amount of money was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

Since it didn’t require any money from him, he was too lazy to bother.

This self-built building had five floors, with eight rooms on each level, totaling over forty rooms.

By the time they had removed all the old air conditioners, it was almost noon.

Tang Feng supervised the workers as they dismantled the last air conditioner. After locking the door, he stood up and went downstairs.

He had just reached the second floor when he heard Qin Yanan arguing with Mr. Wu.

“Mr. Wu, isn’t this a bit too much? We clearly agreed on six hundred yuan per unit, why has it now changed to two hundred?”

“Miss Qin, I’ve already explained to you, these air conditioners are too worn out, I can only sell them as scrap. Giving you two hundred yuan each is already very generous.”

“What a joke? Normally, the lifespan of air conditioners is between ten to twelve years. Mine have only been used for five years, how did they become scrap?”

“Miss Qin, you can’t say that. According to your logic, people should live to be a hundred years old, but most don’t even make it to fifty before they die, how do you explain that?”

“That’s just arguing for the sake of arguing. I think you’re just trying to deflate the price on purpose.”

“What do you mean I’m deflating the price on purpose? These air conditioners of yours aren’t worth more, I certainly can’t do a losing business, can I?”

Their argument grew more heated, and their voices louder.

Mr. Wu’s crew stood behind him, surrounding Qin Yanan with a menacing look.

Qin Yanan, being a woman, was somewhat at a disadvantage.

“A bunch of big men bullying a woman? Have you no shame?”

Tang Feng strode forward, shielding Qin Yanan behind him, and looked coldly at Mr. Wu and his men.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Which eye of yours saw us bullying her?” Mr. Wu’s face bore a fierce expression, a far cry from his previously honest demeanor.

Tang Feng glanced at him coldly, then turned to Qin Yanan, “Mrs. Nan, what exactly is going on?”

Seeing him, Qin Yanan looked as if she had found her backbone, “We had previously agreed on six hundred yuan per air conditioner, but now he’s reneging on the deal, only willing to pay two hundred…”

After hearing her explanation, Tang Feng turned back to Mr. Wu, “Mr. Wu, when doing business, the first thing is to have integrity. Since it was agreed at six hundred per unit, changing your mind now doesn’t seem very proper, does it?”

Unperturbed, Mr. Wu looked at him, “What do you mean I’m not being proper? Your air conditioners are only worth two hundred yuan, yet you insist I pay six hundred? Why don’t you just rob people?”

“Yeah, why don’t you just rob people?”

His crew echoed, seemingly trying to intimidate Tang Feng and Qin Yanan with their numbers.
