Chapter 164 How dare you speak rudely to me
Although their relationship progressed rapidly, she did not want to rely on a man. Moreover, she was not short of money.
When they arrived at the auction house, the entrance was already filled with luxury cars. Lin Fan elegantly opened the car door for Zhao Ziqing and extended his arm politely.
Zhao Ziqing was slightly stunned. After a moment's hesitation, she chose to take Lin Fan's arm, and the two walked into the venue side by side.
Lin Fan was tall and handsome, and Zhao Ziqing was beautiful. Even though their attire was not particularly formal, they still attracted a lot of attention.
"Isn't that Zhao Ziqing from the Zhao Group?"
"Who's that man next to you?"
"I'm not sure. I heard that Zhao recently hired a new vice president. Could it be him?"
"Looking at how close they are, it seems their relationship is not ordinary."
People were whispering, their eyes constantly wandering over the two of them.
"What are they whispering about? Are they praising how well-matched we are, how talented and beautiful we are, and how we're made for each other?"
Lin Fan turned his head to look at Zhao Ziqing's jade-like skin and beautiful face, and teased with a smile.
Zhao Ziqing was speechless. This guy was really good at bragging.
"Men envy me, and women envy you."
Lin Fan's smile grew even brighter.
"By the way, remember to stay calm and don't act rashly."
Zhao Ziqing suddenly remembered something and reminded.
"Fight? What do you mean? Isn't it always the highest bidder at an auction? Do we have to compete to see who has the stronger fist?"
Lin Fan was a little confused.
"Of course not. I just mean there might be a few unfriendly faces, like business competitors or something like that."
Zhao Ziqing explained softly.
"I see."
Lin Fan suddenly realized.
"Don't worry, I prefer to live in peace and don't like conflicts with others."
The corners of Zhao Ziqing's mouth curled up slightly. She really couldn't believe that these words came from Lin Fan's mouth.
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Lin, you are finally here."
At the door, Li Shengjie had been waiting for a long time, with a smile on his face and an attentive look.
"Mr. Li, why are you here?"
"I was waiting for you two, thinking we could go in together."
Li Shengjie responded quickly.
"Mr. Li, you are a well-known figure in the industry. Why are you so servile?"
Lin Fan looked at Li Shengjie and couldn't help asking.
"Come on, stand up straight and speak."
"No, no, I should remain humble in front of President Lin."
Li Shengjie hunched his body slightly.
"Well, since Mr. Zhao doesn't care anymore, I naturally won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Fan patted Li Shengjie's shoulder to comfort him.
"Next, you have to cooperate well with the Zhao family."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely try my best."
Li Shengjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had passed this level completely.
"No, the ultimate goal should be for us to work together and achieve a win-win situation."
Zhao Ziqing looked at him and said seriously.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Li Shengjie quickly nodded in agreement.
"Okay, go do your thing first and don't follow us."
After Lin Fan sent Li Shengjie away, he and Zhao Ziqing walked into the auction site together.
The entire auction hall was resplendent and lavish, brimming with the air of wealth and luxury. At the front was a modest platform meticulously furnished with display tables and an auction booth. Inside, numerous chairs with names on them were placed.
"Hey, isn't this Zhao Ziqing? Your Zhao Company hasn't gone bankrupt yet. If you can't hold on, remember to tell me and I will buy it out in full." A fat woman in her forties or fifties said sarcastically.
"Don't bother Mr. Zhang. Even if Guirenfang goes bankrupt, the Zhao family will remain standing."
Zhao Ziqing said coldly.
"If Guirenfang really doesn't operate anymore, I'm willing to buy your market at a price that satisfies Mr. Zhang."
"Humph! Guirenfang has a history of twenty or thirty years, and Zhao's has only been established for a few years? How dare you brazenly say you want to acquire Guirenfang? What a joke!"
The fat woman laughed sarcastically.
"With the little money you have, I'm afraid you can't even buy anything in the shops in Guirenfang."
When Lin Fan heard this, he knew that this fat woman had no background or power at all. If she truly understood Zhao Ziqing's identity and status, she would never dare to speak like this.
"Auntie, could you please stay away from us? You have bad breath."
Lin Fan looked at the fat woman and said politely.
"You...what did you say? You dare to say I have bad breath?"
The fat woman flew into a rage.
"Yes, it stinks. You just can't smell it yourself."
Lin Fan pulled Zhao Ziqing back a step.
"When you start talking, there's a smell like a sewer... No, it's more like you've eaten shit. It's even more offensive than the smell of a sewer."
Zhao Ziqing couldn't help but smile at Lin Fan's description. Bringing this guy along was a wise decision—he always managed to silence the other party with ease!
"How dare you speak rudely to me, you scoundrel!" The fat woman pointed at Lin Fan angrily, her face trembling with anger.
"I say you are so arrogant. When you open your mouth, you are like a fire-breathing dragon." Lin Fan responded jokingly, while pulling Zhao Ziqing back a few steps.
"Mr. Zhao, let's stay away from her so as not to be affected by her anger."
Zhao Ziqing chuckled and nodded: "Good idea."
"You two bastards, don't even think about escaping!" the fat woman yelled, attracting the attention of everyone around.
"What happened, dear?" A sturdy man strode over and put his arm around the fat woman's waist.
"Who made you angry?"
"It's him!" The fat woman pointed at Lin Fan viciously.
"Aren't you good at boxing? Teach him a lesson!"
"Don't worry, baby." The man glanced at Zhao Ziqing next to him, a hint of surprise in his eyes. If he could flirt with such a beautiful woman, his life would be wonderful.
He turned to Lin Fan and clenched his fist threateningly: "Boy, it's not too late for you to apologize to my baby now!"
"Baby?" Lin Fan's mouth twitched. This name was truly disgusting. This fat woman must be at least fifty, right? This man had completely abandoned his dignity for money.
"I'm giving you a chance. Apologize now, or don't blame me for being rude!" The man threatened domineeringly, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.
He felt that he must be very handsome at this moment and would definitely leave a deep impression on Zhao Ziqing.
"Thanks, but I don't need your chance." Lin Fan shook his head indifferently.
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!" The man roared, took off his suit, and revealed his muscular upper body.
He pumped his fist ostentatiously, and the crowd began to murmur.
"Wow, those muscles are so cool!"
