"Jiang Bei, Duan Fei, what are you two doing here?"
Jiang Bei and Duan Fei heard Chen Tianming's voice and looked over.
When they saw Chen Tianming sitting in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, jealousy flashed in their eyes. After all, they couldn't afford Tianming's car with their companies' annual profits!
Although they were jealous, one of them said politely, "Nothing, I just came with Jiang Bei to buy a set of tables and chairs! Chen Tianming, why are you here? Are you here to buy furniture too?"
Chen Tianming found Duan Fei's question funny. However, it was to be expected. They only knew that Chen Tianming was rich but didn't know what businesses the Chen Family owned!
Though they found out later, but that was only because he was in a serious relationship with Jiang Lianlian and was even considering marriage. He invited disaster by taking Jiang Lianlian into his confidence. Otherwise, the Chen family wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state!
Duan Fei waited for Chen Tianming's response but he didn't say anything. Puzzled, Duan Fei was just about to speak when Chen Tianming ordered, "Ms. Su, go ahead and park the car!"
He got out of the car after that request. It looks like there was a slight change in his plans today.
'What a coincidence!'
He had thought that he wouldn't be able to see Jiang Bei's defeated face because he had a prior engagement. He didn't expect the show would come to him!
Su Xiaonuan did as he instructed; she immediately parked the Rolls-Royce Phantom where Duan Fei wanted to park.
When Duan Fei saw this, a sly look flashed across his face. He had the perfect idea to get back at them.
Duan Fei pointed at the spot where Su Xiaonuan parked the car and looked in Chen Tianming's direction. "Tianming, this must be your first time here. Do you know that this parking space isn't for just anyone? Only those who'd spent at least ten million yuan in this furniture store could park in this spot!"
Duan Fei said that to scare Chen Tianming. After all, although Chen Tianming's family was wealthy, he'd never spent so much money on a single purchase before.
Besides, Tianming couldn't do anything to him; he was only giving him some advice. The staff would come over to embarrass Tianming later. He just had to sit back and watch the show.
Jiang Bei caught on to Duan Fei's plans and waited for a good show. He wanted to see if Chen Tianming could spend more than ten million here.
If he did, he was a badass. However, Jiang Bei didn't believe Tianming's family wouldn't have any objections to his spendthrift ways.
If Chen Tianming couldn't spend that much money, they get to watch a good show and then play the nice guys and comfort him.
Su Xiaonuan had just parked the car when the staff that previously stopped Duan Fei and Jiang Bei went over to her.
Duan Fei looked at the staff and raised his eyebrows at Chen Tianming. "Tianming, look, the staff is here! They'll chase you off that spot!"
Jiang Bei heard Duan Fei's words and followed his act with, "Tianming, you should let your assistant move the car away right now! Moving the car in front of so many people later would be embarrassing!"
Although Jiang Bei sounded like he was trying to give Chen Tianming advice, the tone of his words was mocking.
He was eagerly waiting for Chen Tianming's car to be driven away. That way, he could finally vent all the frustration Chen Tianming caused him recently.
Chen Tianming's expression remained the same throughout Duan Fei and Jiang Bei's performance, and he faintly smiled as he said, "Are you sure that would happen?"
At this point, Duan Fei was too lazy to pretend any longer and showed his true colors. "Tianming, I don't think your pocket money would cover this," he jeered.
Duan Fei and Jiang Bei's eyes met before they burst into laughter.
"Tianming, a person should know their place and accept their insufficiencies!" Duan Fei chortled.
As he spoke, Su Xiaonuan led the staff toward them.
The smile on Duan Fei's face became even brighter when he saw Su Xiaonuan, and he said, "It seems that your little assistant can't solve this problem, so she came to look for you!"
Just as Duan Fei finished speaking, Su Xiaonuan and the staff arrived.
When Duan Fei saw the staff, he pointed at Chen Tianming enthusiastically, "It's him! That's his car! Hurry up and make him park it elsewhere!"
The staff all looked at him like he was an idiot. They didn't understand why Duan Fei was making a scene here when he knew nothing.
They ignored Duan Fei and walked past him to stand beside Chen Tianming. They bowed deeply and said, "Young Master, welcome to the store! Would you like someone to show you around?"
Chen Tianming nodded slightly at the staff. "You guys go ahead. I'll take a look myself!"
The staff nodded in compliance and departed.
After they left, Chen Tianming glanced at Duan Fei and Jiang Bei before leaving with Su Xiaonuan.
Duan Fei and Jiang Bei stood in a daze after the crowd was gone until the cleaning lady came over.
When she saw they hadn't moved, she became impatient and groused, "If there's nothing else, you can leave! Otherwise, I won't be able to send the trash out!"
Jiang Bei and Duan Fei finally moved; they turned their heads mechanically and looked at her.
Duan Fei's expression was normal, but Jiang Bei's face was filled with jealousy. Chen Tianming was living the life he had always dreamed of.
'Chen Tianming could get anything he wanted with a wave of his hands, while I had to pay for a set of tables and chairs.' Jiang Bei's facial features contorted at the thought.
One day, he would make Chen Tianming kneel on the ground and call him daddy!
Jiang Bei fantasized about Chen Tianming kneeling and kowtowing to him when Duan Fei suddenly asked, "Bro, did you hear what they said? What did they call Chen Tianming? Since when did he become the young master of this furniture company? Wasn't the Chen Corporation involved in the real estate industry? Do they own furniture stores now?"
"Exactly how wealthy is Chen Tianming's family?"
Hearing the envy in Duan Fei's voice, the veins on Jiang Bei's neck bulged visibly, and his voice became even darker as he said, "Do you admire him? Why don't you offer to give him a ride home instead?"
Duan Fei realized he was angry, so he quickly tried to come up with something to appease him. Soon, a sinister scheme came to mind.
Duan Fei had a nasty smile as he whispered into Jiang Bei's ear at length.
Initially, Jiang Bei had a look of disdain on his face, but his countenance relaxed when he heard the rest of the plot.
Jiang Bei was quite pleased with Duan Fei's devious plan. "Lianlian is going out to dance tomorrow. I'm busy, so it'll be a great help if you can take her there!" he offered.
Duan Fei nodded and assured him, "Consider it done!"
Jiang Bei still needed a set of tables and chairs, so they walked into the furniture store.
