Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 183 Ziqiao's Failed Deception

Yifei had finally managed to appease Zeng Xiaoxian when the saleswoman who had previously greeted them rushed over excitedly.

"Sir, first of all, we are very sorry for the bad experience caused by our store rules."

"After discussion at a branch office meeting, we have decided to fully refund your expenses for today. We are truly sorry."

"We hope you will continue to trust our brand; our menswear will definitely be your best choice."

Nanfeng raised an eyebrow: "Interesting. It seems that apart from being a bit slow, they are quite reliable in other aspects."

Zeng Xiaoxian was struck dumb: "A meeting to discuss this?"

His lips twitched, and he forced a polite smile as he asked, "Excuse me, how many people know about this?"

"Not many."

The sales assistant's words eased Xiaoxian's anxiety a little.

"There were probably more than five hundred people in total, from top to bottom and from front to back."

Zeng Xiaoxian covered his face, his heart finally cooling down.

That means there are probably more than 500 people who know that he almost couldn't hold his poop.

Your public image!

Just then, Nanfeng's phone beeped. He picked it up and burst out laughing.

"A popular post on Baidu Tieba: [Complaining about a Shanghai client who caused a stir throughout the company because he couldn't hold his poop]."

Nanfeng looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with a gloating expression: "Teacher Zeng, now it seems that more than five hundred people will know about this."

Zeng Xiaoxian remained with his hands covering his face, without making a sound.

Yifei sensed something was wrong, so she quickly pushed Zeng Xiaoxian's hand away. Sure enough, he had already rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Damn, another social idiot who fainted." Yifei muttered as she pinched Xiaoxian's philtrum hard.

"Haha, finally another social death has passed out." Zi Qiao suddenly felt refreshed, and even the bruises on his face seemed to no longer hurt.

Teacher Zeng, my good brother.

The sales assistant looked very upset: "I'm so sorry, this behavior is extremely bad. I immediately called the store manager and asked her to report this to the manager."

"Please trust us, we will definitely resolve this matter properly."

The sales assistant couldn't understand why the company would have such an idiot.

The issue hasn't been resolved yet, and you've already posted your rant, which has even become a viral post on Baidu Tieba.

The worst part is that the person involved found out.

But it was clearly your brain that was malfunctioning, so why am I the one who's suffering?!

"No, absolutely not."

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly woke up with a start. He clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Please, let this matter pass."

If we hold another meeting of this company from top to bottom, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause this time.

Nanfeng carefully read through the entire post and comforted Zeng Xiaoxian, saying, "Relax, the whole post doesn't have any names or surnames."

"As long as you don't say anything, who will know that it's you?"

"that is."

Ziqiao thought Zeng Xiaoxian had terrible mental fortitude: "My post about that scumbag was posted on the forum by name for a week, and nothing happened to me, did it?"

"Too."

As long as this matter doesn't damage his public image, Zeng Xiaoxian can forcefully hypnotize himself into believing that nothing happened this morning.

Zeng Xiaoxian had just relaxed when he heard Zhang Wei exclaim in surprise, "You actually took a screenshot of this post? That's so mean!"

"I'm just worried that if he deletes the post, I won't be able to find it when I need it later, that would be a real hassle," Nanfeng replied casually.

Zeng Xiaoxian froze instantly.

Need it?

What do you want to use it for?

Nanfeng looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with a slight smile: "Besides, even if I'm sarcastic, I'm not as sarcastic as the nickname 'Eavesdropping Prince,' which makes me sound like a pervert who's always eavesdropping with a bugging device."

"Is that so, Teacher Zeng?"

"Nanfeng, I was wrong," Zeng Xiaoxian pleaded, crying. "Can I take back what I just said?"

"What do you think?" Nanfeng clearly had no intention of letting Zeng Xiaoxian off the hook so easily.

He wasn't actually that petty or unable to take a joke. Even though Ziqiao had saved his contact as "petty lemon monster," he hadn't done anything to Ziqiao.

But the nickname "The Little Prince" was simply unbearable.

If he doesn't make his stance clear now, Zeng Xiaoxian might just say something mean and it will get out.

I still want to live a shared life in Love Apartment. What will my upstairs and downstairs neighbors who don't know the inside story think of me?

Nanfeng was indeed very angry this time.

Seeing Nanfeng's resolute attitude, Zeng Xiaoxian immediately buried his face in Yifei's arms and burst into tears.

"This is too embarrassing, I don't want to live anymore!"

"Don't stop me, let me die!"

"Waaaaah..."

Yifei clutched her forehead in anguish: "Not again!"

I just managed to calm her down!

Ziqiao gave Nanfeng a thumbs up, saying that when it comes to manipulating people's minds, Nanfeng is the most professional.

When Yu Mo saw Zeng Xiaoxian like this, she burst into laughter.

Live it!

That'll teach you to be so foul-mouthed!

……

Thanks to Yifei's efforts, she finally succeeded in stopping Zeng Xiaoxian from crying.

Although the methods used were a little bit violent, the result was still very satisfactory.

"After all that, it turns out that force is still the most effective way to deal with bastards." Yifei shook her head like a boxer.

She already lacked patience, and you, Zeng Xiaoxian, actually took advantage of her kindness.

It's disgusting that such a grown man would resort to such melodramatic tactics like crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide in a soap opera.

Zeng Xiaoxian, who had been physically punished by Yifei, finally quieted down, but his resentful gaze made Yifei feel uncomfortable no matter how she looked at him.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, you're a grown man, after all."

"It's one thing to watch those melodramatic soap operas all the time, but can you please stop trying to be like the female lead in those tragic dramas?"

Yifei pointed to Zhifeng and said, "And you, don't provoke him so easily. If you want to take revenge, you should choose the right time."

"Once he's secured the sponsorship, you can do whatever you want with him."

Nanfeng pouted and said, "Fine."

Actually, Nanfeng didn't intend to do anything with this post; she just wanted to scare him.

If I were really going to play a prank, I wouldn't go to such a low level.

But who knew he was so easily frightened.

After thinking it over, Nanfeng decided to temporarily set aside her grudge against Zeng Xiaoxian and resumed her role as the leader.

"Alright, let's hurry up and try to finish the pre-lunch preparations for our appearance before lunch, and buy everything we need."

Nanfeng looked at Ziqiao: "Manager, where's your design proposal? Where are we going next?"

"I have a lot of things to buy, so I just made a shopping list."

Ziqiao handed over his phone, and Nanfeng suspiciously took it and glanced at the notes app.

"It's so long, are you trying to bankrupt Teacher Zeng?"

Curious, the crowd gathered around.

Zeng Xiaoxian almost stumbled when he saw Ziqiao's seemingly endless shopping list.

"This is almost as long as your ex-girlfriend's contact information! Lu Ziqiao, you're ripping me off!"

Ziqiao argued, "I only bought necessities."

"I can accept that sunglasses, wigs, and leather shoes are necessities, but golf clubs and fishing gear are necessities too?" Yifei asked, frowning.

Zi Qiao pretended to be knowledgeable: "You guys don't understand, that's how it is in high society."

"Besides dressing fashionably, entertainment is also very important."

"Play golf or go fishing with rich people. If they have fun, they'll naturally sponsor you."

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled coldly: "Is it possible that this sponsorship will ultimately go to the station, and that not a single penny of the remaining prize money will end up in my pocket?"

"One more thing, the sponsors that Teacher Zeng was able to get for GG might not be as high-class as you think," Yu Mo said.

Yu Mo had previously used her phone to do some research on the sponsors; they were very wealthy, but their level was clearly not up to par.

In fact, if Zeng Xiaoxian were willing to spend the money, taking the person in charge to a sauna for a "big health care" session might be more effective than playing golf or fishing.

"Really?" Ziqiao was taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "It's all the same. Anyway, Teacher Zeng is currently in the rising phase of his career. Sooner or later, he'll come into contact with high-end sponsors, and then all these things will come in handy, right?"

"That makes sense."

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled, his eyes crinkling at the praise from Ziqiao, and for a moment he was immersed in his sweet talk: "If that's the case, these things do seem to be necessities."

"Of course, we're brothers, why would I lie to you?"

Ziqiao patted his chest: "The most important thing is that I happen to know some people who can sell us these high-end goods at a 20% discount."

"Is it really that good?"

If it were just Ziqiao and Xiaoxian here, Zeng Xiaoxian would probably have already fallen for it.

To make up for her mistake, Meijia punctured Ziqiao's tire: "20% off? I bet you got at least a 10% rebate."

"Chen Meijia, you're talking nonsense!"

"Am I talking nonsense, or is someone fabricating something?"

Meijia sneered, "Teacher Zeng, don't believe him. Since Ziqiao would trick you into buying these completely useless things, he's bound to try and squeeze some money out of you."

"And once you've spent the money to buy them back, he'll definitely borrow those unused items again under various pretexts."

"As for when it will be returned, that depends on when you come into contact with so-called high-end sponsors."

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly realized: "This is like me spending money to buy things for him, and he still wants a kickback from me!!!"

"Teacher Zeng, please let me explain..."

"Brother Zeng! Calm down, Brother Zeng!"

Ziqiao tried to run away, but he was once again pinned down.

Looking at Ziqiao, who was about to get beaten up again, Zhang Wei asked Nanfeng with great curiosity, "I've been wondering about this ever since we were at the cat cafe: why does someone as smart as Ziqiao always like to do stupid things?"

Zi Qiao clearly knew there were so many people present, and even if he could fool Zeng Xiaoxian, he couldn't possibly fool everyone present, yet he still did it anyway.

It's like he knew perfectly well that taking the braised pork knuckle to pick up girls would invite Meijia's revenge.

"That's Ziqiao like that. He's cautious about his life when it comes to great things, but he'd risk his life for small gains." Nanfeng shrugged. "He might be more suited to be Yuan Shao than Lü Bu."
