Chapter 136 Trouble Breaks Downstairs at the Feng Shui Building
"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked with her usual sweet, formulaic smile.
"No, can I call him?" Jiang Chengcheng knew the company's rules and didn't make things difficult for the receptionist.
"Um... sure." The receptionist was momentarily taken aback, probably not expecting Jiang Chengcheng to actually know Zhao Feng, but she quickly recovered.
Just as Jiang Chengcheng was about to make a phone call, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.
"I said that ever since we moved into your house, my son lost his job and my wife had a miscarriage! It must be because of bad feng shui in your house! If you don't compensate us, I will expose this on the internet! I'll make sure your house can't be sold! Let us in! Let us in!" Jiang Chengcheng looked outside in the direction of the voice. At this moment, an old woman was standing outside the building with a man and a woman. The one who had been speaking was the old woman.
As if seeing that the two security guards at the entrance were completely unmoved, the old lady actually plopped down at the entrance of the building.
"Heavens above! Is there no justice left? You sold us a house that harmed people, ruining our family's life, and you won't even give us an explanation! If you don't let us in, I'll just smash my head against this wall and die!"
"Mom! Don't do anything rash! They're being unreasonable, why should we make things difficult for ourselves?"
"Yes! They will definitely get their comeuppance! The child in my womb is a living, breathing human being! Aren't they afraid of their consciences to sell such a haunted house!"
Outside the building, the three people seemed to have staged a show together, attracting countless onlookers who were eager to find out what was going on.
The receptionist reacted very quickly, immediately calling Zhao Feng and explaining the situation downstairs.
Seeing the commotion outside escalating and a growing crowd gathering, Jiang Chengcheng realized it was negatively impacting the company. So she called the police on her phone and then walked over to the three people.
"The police have already been called inside. If you want to continue causing trouble, then go ahead, but you will be responsible for any reputational damage or losses caused to this place." Jiang Chengcheng said calmly, looking down at the three people on the ground.
"Hey! Who do you think you are! Mind your own business! Get out of my way! Don't cause me any trouble!"
The man's expression stiffened when he heard Jiang Chengcheng mention calling the police. Then, as if seeing that she was just a young girl, his tone became even more arrogant, and he began to threaten her.
"Heh, you come here to cause trouble for my company and ask me who I am?" Jiang Chengcheng wasn't in a hurry when she heard the man's words, she just sneered and replied.
"You own this company? Hahaha! Don't joke around! How old are you? You own a company? Do you think I'm stupid?" The man was initially incredulous, but then seemed to think Jiang Chengcheng was bluffing him, and regained his composure.
"Exactly! How old do you look? You can't possibly be a boss. You're more like a boss's mistress! Looking at your vixen-like face, you're not really a mistress, are you?" The man's wife chimed in, looking at Jiang Chengcheng's overly beautiful appearance, feeling jealous and unable to resist maliciously slandering her.
"Ha! I think so too! Such a young age and already doing bad things! Running around acting as someone's concubine! If your family found out, they'd beat you to death!" The old lady glanced at Jiang Chengcheng's appearance and said with a look of disgust.
The people around them had arrived halfway and hadn't figured out what was going on. Hearing what the others said, they looked at Jiang Chengcheng with righteous indignation.
"I'm speechless! I hate mistresses more than anything else in my life! They're disgusting!"
"Honestly! With such a pretty face, why can't she just find a boyfriend? Why does she have to become someone's mistress!"
"A gold digger after money! What else could she be! Tsk tsk tsk! What a waste of that face!"
"Pah! I hate mistresses more than anything in my life! Shameless!"
"No, you don't have any evidence either. You just believed what a few people said?"
"Does this even need evidence? Just look at her face and clothes, and you'll know it's almost certainly true! Where would such a young girl get so much money?"
It can be said that the malice between women can sometimes be the greatest. Just by hearing the slander from three people, some people in the crowd convicted Jiang Chengcheng without any evidence.
"Ha! You can continue. I'm recording the whole thing. Anyone who maliciously slanders or defames me, or spreads rumors about me, every single one of you, regardless of whether you're involved in this matter or not, won't get away with it easily." Jiang Chengcheng glanced at the few people shouting the loudest in the crowd and said in a nonchalant tone.
"..."
"What's going on! I just said a couple of truths, is it illegal to speak like that?"
"Yeah, right! Don't think we're afraid of you just because you have money! Go ahead and record me! Do you think we can't record?"
Some of the underlings in the crowd, upon hearing this, initially cowered and prepared to shut up, but then someone started attacking Jiang Chengcheng, and several others jumped out as well.
After all, the law doesn't punish everyone, right?
Hearing what everyone was saying, the old lady and her group sitting on the ground couldn't help but look a little smug in Jiang Chengcheng's eyes.
Serves you right! Serves you right for meddling in other people's business!
“Speaking isn’t illegal, but you have to speak like a human being. You’re just making things up without evidence. Do you think our country’s laws are just for show? You like to jump around, don’t you? Don’t leave yet. I’ll hand this recording over, and we can go to the police station to discuss whether spreading rumors is illegal.” Jiang Chengcheng looked at the man jumping the most aggressively in the crowd with a cold smile and a deep gaze.
Perhaps realizing that Jiang Chengcheng wasn't joking, the man's expression froze for a moment, then he angrily disappeared into the crowd without daring to say another word.
Pshaw! Garbage!
Jiang Chengcheng felt disdain.
……
Less than five minutes later, Zhao Feng and the police arrived almost simultaneously. He wasn't at the company that day because he had some work to attend to.
Zhao Feng originally intended to delegate the task to his subordinates, but after hearing from the receptionist that a young woman had come to the company and specifically asked for him, Zhao Feng instinctively felt that it was Jiang Chengcheng, so he quickly changed his mind and came back to handle it.
After Zhao Feng returned, he didn't go to see the troublemakers, but instead hurried towards Jiang Chengcheng.
"President Jiang, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have greeted you in advance." Zhao Feng walked respectfully to Jiang Chengcheng and bowed slightly as he spoke.
"It's nothing, I just came here for a casual stroll. It doesn't matter whether you're here or not." Jiang Chengcheng was just feeling impulsive today, wanting to see how this feng shui building in Jinshi was constructed. As for calling Zhao Feng, it was just to let him know.
"What! You're saying she's the owner here?! How is that possible! How old is she! You're lying!" The man's wife, hearing Zhao Feng's words and seeing his humble demeanor, was now green with envy.
Jealousy further contorted her face, making it appear somewhat ferocious!
Why!
Why is it that, as a fellow woman, she is not only beautiful but also so rich!
This is not fair!
