Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

The weather in April was a bit chilly.

Shen Fei had been awake for a long time.

He huddled in his warm bed, wrapped in a blanket, motionless, staring blankly at the ceiling with wide, listless eyes.

It's the weekend, and it's almost 9 a.m.

As usual, the old landlord would appear at the door on time, raise his hand and knock hard, then shout in a menacing tone with a deadpan expression, "Damn it, rent's here!"

But he didn't have 500 yuan in his pocket at all.

The rent and utilities for this one-bedroom apartment are 1500 yuan per month, payable every three months. 500 yuan isn't even enough to pay a month's rent, let alone the several hundred yuan he needs to save for food.

"First, try to get the landlord to give us a few more days. If that doesn't work, we'll have to resort to using our credit cards."

Shen Fei sighed.

It's been a year since I graduated, and I've barely managed to get a foothold in Jiangcheng, the provincial capital. Because I only have a junior college diploma, I can't get those high-paying and well-behaved jobs, so I can only find low-barrier sales positions.

Little did I know that sales wouldn't be so easy.

He is temporarily selling cars at a dealership.

Because he's not sweet-talking enough, doesn't have enough tricks up his sleeve, and most importantly, is too proud to lower himself to flirt with 50-year-old women, he's been labeled as having low emotional intelligence and no future, and has only been receiving basic pay for several months now.

"Sigh, maybe I should call that female customer surnamed Wang back tomorrow. It's just a plumbing repair, what's the big deal? They're not going to eat me alive, are they?"

Shen Fei rolled his eyes and realized that if he continued to lie flat, he would end up sleeping on the streets. A sense of crisis gradually crept into his heart.

The other party was in his forties and was said to be the finance director of a large company. He had come to the store to look at cars before. He was very wealthy and spoke very arrogantly. He wanted to buy 10 Passats in one go, saying that he was purchasing them for the company.

It was Shenfei who received them at that time.

After agreeing on the preferential policy, nothing more was said. Shen Fei, feeling uneasy, called to inquire, but the other party simply made excuses, saying that the water pipes at home were broken and they didn't have time to come and fix them.

She also mentioned that she didn't trust the property management workers in the community, and casually asked if Shen Fei had time to come to her house to help keep an eye on things.

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) has seen this kind of tactic many times.

He immediately turned red in the face and hung up the phone.

How could Shen Fei, a dignified man of seven feet tall, do such a dirty thing?

Bang bang bang!

Just as Shen Fei was pondering this, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Fei's face turned cold, and he felt a pang of despair in his heart. Just what he feared had come to pass.

It's probably the landlord coming to collect the rent.

There was no way to avoid it, so Shen Fei had no choice but to slip out of bed, put on a coat, and open the door to find a young man in a hat standing outside.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Shen Fei?"

"That's me!"

Shen Fei nodded, then realized it wasn't the landlord and was a little confused!

"Since you are Mr. Shen Fei, please come with me. Someone is looking for you."

The other person seemed to be in a hurry, and without exchanging many pleasantries, turned and left.

Shen Fei felt a little uneasy.

He usually just likes to review some basic knowledge about 'mechanical maintenance' on his home computer's D drive twice a week. This frequency isn't high, so I hope he hasn't done anything wrong.

Perhaps sensing Shen Fei's nervousness, the other party turned around and explained, "A lawyer from abroad is looking for you. He doesn't know your exact address, so he came to our office. It's nothing serious, don't be nervous."

"Abroad, a lawyer?"

Shen Fei thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure out if he had any relatives or friends abroad. So, he followed the other party to a nearby place in a daze.

They then entered a spacious office.

"Chief, I've brought the person!"

After the young man in the hat led Shen Fei inside, he reported to a middle-aged superior in uniform.

When leaving, close the door behind you.

Immediately, all three people in the room turned their gazes to Shen Fei.

Shen Fei also glanced at the three of them discreetly. The middle-aged man in the uniform and wearing a hat was probably the director, while the other two men were dressed in suits and sat on the sofa with impeccable manners.

The once aloof and dignified director was now warmly pouring tea for the two of them.

To Shen Fei's bewilderment, one of the men, who was over 50 years old, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a thick white beard, turned out to be a white-skinned foreigner.

Judging from his upright posture while sitting on the sofa, his hair was neatly styled, and he had an extraordinary air about him. He was clearly not an ordinary person.

"I am Qin Youming, the director of the XXX Institute. You must be Mr. Shen Fei?"

Qin Youming smiled amicably at Shen Fei and extended his right hand to him.

Shen Fei was flattered and shook hands with the other party.

Qin Youming then pointed to the two people on the sofa, "This is Judge Li Hai of the Jiangcheng Intermediate People's Court, and this is Mr. Steve Smith, a well-known lawyer from Maple Leaf State Trust Law Firm."

"Hello!"

Shen Fei feigned composure and shook hands with each of the two men in turn.

After Qin Youming introduced the two parties, Mr. Smith, who had been silently observing Shen Fei, suddenly greeted him in English.

"You're Shen Fei? Do you know Shen Youtian?"

Shen Fei paused for a moment. His major in college was Business English, and he thought he would never need it since he was living in China. But today he unexpectedly met a foreigner who spoke English.

Shen Fei replied in somewhat broken English, "Shen Youtian is my great-grandfather, that is, my grandfather's older brother. There were only two brothers in my grandfather's generation."

Smith, the foreigner, nodded. "Then you should have a blue pendant on you, about the size of a thumb, called the Heart of the Ocean."

"Could you show it to me? It's very important!"

Shen Fei frowned, unsure of what the other party was up to.

However, since the other party invited him to meet at a nearby police station, they probably wouldn't have committed a public robbery.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and unbuttoned a row of buttons on his shirt collar, slowly pulling out a red thread with a light blue pendant about the size of a thumb tied to it.

Shen Fei always wore it close to his body, and he didn't even know that it was called the Heart of the Ocean, nor did he know where the foreigner got the name from.

Smith carefully took the pendant and then tossed it into a clear glass teacup on the coffee table.

A magical scene unfolded: the originally transparent tea was instantly dyed a deep blue.

Smith glanced at the three curious people, but didn't explain. He simply held the glass and slowly swirled it a few times. The azure tea in the glass instantly became turbulent, like a giant wave rising on a calm surface, leaving the three people dumbfounded.

Shen Fei rubbed his eyes even harder.

He had worn this blue pendant close to his body for over ten years, never knowing that it held such a secret. Could it be an unknown treasure of immeasurable value?

After verifying the pendant, Smith carefully took it out of the cup, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wiped it clean, and then returned it to Shen Fei.
