Gouge shuddered with fear, knowing he had genuinely offended a powerful figure.
With an ingratiating smile on his lips, he took out three thousand yuan and handed it to Feng Lin.
"Brother, for such a trivial matter, why bother a great person like that? Let's just settle this privately."
Ren Shasha's eyes lit up with joy as she reached out for the three thousand yuan.
But noticing Feng Lin glaring at her, she pursed her lips and reluctantly withdrew her hand.
"Brother, do you know how valuable connections are?"
Feng Lin, sitting with one leg over the other, began to speak about principles, "Especially connections with big figures like this one."
Gouge hung his head low, not daring to utter a word.
"I'll tell you, the call has already been made. Whether he shows up or not, I owe him a favor now."
Feng Lin pointed at the three thousand yuan in Gouge's hand and sneered, "Three thousand? Multiply that by ten, and I still wouldn't want it!"
"Brother, please spare my life!"
