Chapter 279: Fate?
Looking at the bright red rose held in front of him, there was no surprise on Ruan Tang's face.
He stared at the clerk holding the bouquet, his tone cold.
"I already said this this morning that I will not sign for these flowers. Also, please tell the person who sent the flowers not to do this kind of unnecessary thing again in the future."
After saying that, Ruan Tang turned to his companions.
"Let's go up first."
Although they were surprised, everyone on Star Journey tacitly did not ask any questions. Instead, they all nodded in agreement and walked towards the elevator with him.
Unexpectedly, the clerk chased after him and said, "Mr. Ruan, I will convey your message. But could you please sign for this bouquet of flowers first, otherwise I will be complained about. You have already complained about me today. If I am complained about again, I will lose my job."
The clerk spoke in a very pitiful way, as if Ruan Tang would be unsympathetic if he didn't agree to him.
Moreover, from his perspective, Ruan Tang's friend was right next to them, and there were several people holding cameras and filming around them.
He certainly doesn't want others to think he is a cold and heartless person.
Unfortunately, Ruan Tang never falls for moral blackmail.
He stopped and spoke coldly under the clerk's expectant eyes.
"I'm sorry, I think you got something wrong. You were complained about because you are not professional enough. If you are fired for this, it only means that your boss also thinks you are not suitable for this job. These are not my fault, and I don't have to pay for your mistakes. And if you are really not suitable for this job, then being fired is not a bad thing. You can find a job that you are competent for."
After hearing these words, the clerk's face first turned red, and then slowly turned pale.
The hands that had been holding the rose also dropped weakly.
Because the movement was so large, several petals floated down from the rose and landed on the ground.
There was no sympathy in Ruan Tang's eyes.
Trying to take advantage of other people's kindness to achieve one's own goals is the greatest evil in human nature.
Ruan Tang and his companions looked at each other and continued walking towards the elevator.
This time the clerk didn't try to stop him because he knew it was useless.
He returned to the flower shop dejectedly, and the rose in his hand was as wilted as he was.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain to the difficult customer, the old black Bakelite phone in the flower shop rang.
The clerk was shocked and did not answer the phone immediately.
But the old telephone ringtone continued to echo in the flower shop, as if it would not give up.
Finally, the clerk walked over slowly and picked up the receiver.
Sure enough, a familiar male voice came out.
"How's it going? The flowers have been delivered. What's Ruan's expression? Surprised?"
The clerk stammered, "Mr. Ruan he...he..."
"Didn't you send it over?"
The man's voice suddenly became angry.
The clerk didn't dare to hide it anymore and told the other party that Ruan Tang had refused to sign and what he should explain.
The man's breathing became more and more rapid, and one could feel his anger even through the receiver.
"Stupid thing, you took so much money from me, but you can't do such a small thing..."
"Sir, I have tried my best..."
The clerk tried to explain.
But it was no use. The man didn't want to listen to his nonsense and hung up the phone directly.
The clerk breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the man had just cursed and let it go.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he got home in the evening, he received a notice from the store manager asking him not to come to work the next day.
The clerk felt like the sky was falling.
He does not have a high level of education, and the current working environment is not good, so it is very difficult for him to find a job that pays well and is not too hard.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have taken the risk just for a few hundred million yuan in tips.
It's a pity that even though he regretted it so much, it was useless!
On the other side, Ruan Tang finally had a good sleep.
He thought that his warning yesterday had worked, until he finished breakfast with his friends from "Star Journey" and walked downstairs to the hotel, ready to take the booked car to the next destination.
A voice came from behind.
"Ruan Tang, long time no see."
It was the Huaguo dialect, and the voice sounded a little familiar.
Ruan Tang turned around and saw a familiar figure walking towards him with a bouquet of bright roses in his hand.
"Zhou Shun?"
Seeing that Ruan Tang recognized him, Zhou Shun's smile became even brighter and he handed the rose in his hand to Ruan Tang.
"Ruan Tang, I didn't expect to meet you in L City. Do you think we are destined to meet?"
Looking at the rose handed to him, Ruan Tang did not reach out to take it, but took a step back.
"Heh," Ruan Tang sneered, "According to what you said, I meet hundreds or even thousands of people every day when I walk on the street. Doesn't that mean I have a connection with them all?"
Zhou Shun frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard this, "How am I the same as them?"
"Yeah, you're greasier. Just looking at you makes me sick."
Zhou Shun: ...
Friends of Star Journey: …
Director and other staff: …
In the past, Ruan Tang’s image in their eyes had always been as gentle as jade, and it was rare to see such a sharp side of him.
But Ruan Tang was right, this man was indeed a bit greasy.
He wore a floral shirt, a duck-shit green suit, and had his hair combed back.
You know, he's a playboy.
If you don’t know him, you might think he is a gangster.
Being slapped in the face in public, Zhou Shun's anger suddenly boiled over.
He was about to lose his temper, but when he saw the delicate and beautiful face of the person opposite him, his anger subsided a little.
"Ruan Tang, I know we had some unpleasantness before, but so much time has passed and I have forgotten about it. You won't still be so petty, will you?"
"Yes, I am petty and I hold grudges. Now that I see you, I want to beat you up. Do you mind?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, as if he was really ready to take action.
Zhou Shun's face suddenly turned dark. Why didn't this guy play by the rules?
"Ruan Tang, don't forget that your Fang family still relies on our Zhou family to survive. If you offend me, I will immediately ask my father to withdraw the project with the Fang family. If your Fang family goes bankrupt, don't come back to beg me."
"That's a good feeling, you should withdraw it!"
What does the life or death of the Fang family have to do with him? Don’t even think about going back to beg him.
The Fang family really went bankrupt, and the first thing he did was to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
He had always felt that the Fang family was harassing him, and was thinking about how to get rid of this family of blood-sucking worms.
He was so happy that someone could teach the other person a lesson for him first.
Now it was Zhou Shun's turn to be confused.
What’s going on? Isn’t Ruan Tang the adopted son of the Fang family?
Why was he not panicked when he heard that the Fang family was going to go bankrupt, but seemed very happy instead.
"Are you really not afraid that our Zhou Corporation will cancel its cooperation with Fang Corporation?"
Ruan Tang crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile, "What do you think?"
Zhou Shun looked at his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and for a moment he was really unsure.
At this moment, he thought of the man who stood next to Ruan Tang when they met last time.
Could it be that because he has found a rich man, he no longer looks down on the Fang family?
