Chapter 169

But,

the renovation workers clearly gave him no chance,

seeing Zhu Tao still refusing to leave,

the renovation workers simply turned the fan up to its highest setting,

instantly,

white dust poured down like a blizzard,

completely engulfing Zhu Tao and the few people behind him,

Zhu Tao could finally bear it no longer; he turned and hurriedly ran out of the shop,

the task the renovation workers had received was

simply to drive them out of the shop,

so seeing Zhu Tao and the others leave the shop,

the renovation workers turned off the fan,

then twisted their heads and returned inside the shop.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!..."

Zhu Tao spat out more than a dozen mouthfuls of white foam,

then barely wiped his face, trying to get a clear look at the renovation workers,

but by then,

the shop was already empty,

leaving Zhu Tao with no way to find anyone to settle the score.

Thus,

Zhu Tao stamped his foot in a rage and began searching everywhere for a stone to smash the floor-to-ceiling window.

Meanwhile, passersby walking by,

seeing the group covered in dust with faces like painted flowers,

all raised their phones, filming Zhu Tao and the others while mocking them without restraint.

"Stop filming! Stop filming!"

the few women behind Zhu Tao tried to stop the passersby from filming,

but their current posture, hands on hips and furious,

only made them look even more ridiculous and laughable.

Thus,

more and more onlookers gathered,

and the laughter of the passersby grew louder and louder.

With so many phones pointed right at their faces,

Zhu Tao dared not pick up a stone to smash the floor-to-ceiling window anymore.

Thus,

he could only stamp his foot hard at the unfinished storefront,

raised his orchid fingers, and shouted loudly: "Yang Tao, listen to me!"

"I, Zhu Tao, will remember this debt!"

"Rest assured, with my strength and methods, I guarantee that not a single person will dare to come on your opening day, and after you open, you won't get a single order!"

"Yang Tao, I'm putting my words right here: even if you kneel and beg me, it won't help. Yang Tao, just you wait!"

"What the hell?!"

After hearing Zhu Tao's shout,

Yang Tao, with rage surging through his heart, picked up the renovation worker's trowel and prepared to go out and fight Zhu Tao to the death.

Qin Feng, quick-eyed and fast-handed, stopped Yang Tao,

then smiled without a care: "Enough, Yang Tao. If he really had that ability, would he still need to come to you to ask for customer resources?"

"I can't accept this!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Tao still gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, our shop hasn't even opened yet, and he dares to curse us like this. He's too shameless..."

"No rush. I'll handle this matter."

Qin Feng smiled and comforted Yang Tao: "You are fully in charge of everything inside the shop, so I will handle everything outside. Otherwise, you'll say again that I, the boss, only take money and do no work..."

"I didn't..."

Yang Tao muttered a weak protest, his face slowly turning red.

But Qin Feng turned to look at the renovation worker and gave a thumbs-up: "Master, great job!"

"Hahaha, thank you, Boss."

The renovation worker also smiled and spoke up for justice: "People like that, neither man nor woman, make me sick just to look at. How dare they threaten our Boss and our Mistress?!"

"Boss, don't worry. If he dares to come again next time, I'll deal with him just the same!"

Mistress...

Yang Tao's pretty face grew hot,

and he secretly turned his head to look at Qin Feng.

But Qin Feng at that moment paid no attention at all.

After chatting a few more words with the renovation worker,

he pulled Yang Tao out of the storefront.

Open the door and get in.

Qin Feng didn't give Yang Tao a choice,

and drove straight toward her home.

At this moment, Yang Tao

was unusually quiet,

occasionally stealing glances at Qin Feng,

but when Qin Feng noticed something,

she quickly turned her head, pretending to look out the window at the scenery.

More than ten minutes later,

the car stopped beneath the building where Yang Tao rented her apartment.

Qin Feng turned to look at Yang Tao and smiled: "Yang Tao, I know you've been working hard these past few days, so I brought you home to take a bath and get a good night's sleep."

"But you still need to oversee the renovation—once it's done and we open, I'll take you out to celebrate properly."

"I don't believe you."

Yang Tao shook her head outright: "Boss, our shop will be finished in two days, but after that, there'll be even more to do."

"I need to hire staff, set up periodic plans, contact designers in Italy and France to pre-order a batch of wedding dresses for display, and handle staff training and customer acquisition…"

"Boss, only now do I realize I might have really dug my own grave—so Boss, can you help me a bit more?"

"No problem."

Qin Feng nodded seriously: "I'll try my best not to show up at the shop and not bother you—is that helping?"

"Boss!"

Yang Tao glared at Qin Feng, irritated,

then pushed open the door and got out.

After getting out,

she waved at Qin Feng again and called out: "Boss, drive slowly on the way!"

"Got it. Go inside now."

Qin Feng drove to the next intersection, turned around,

then headed toward Tong Wenjie's company.

Tong Wenjie's company

was the Beijing branch of Xinghai Group,

with a broad range of main business operations,

but,
