Chapter 440: The Snob Meets Retribution

On a sunny morning, Sheng Hanyu took the mother and daughter to look at a house.

Before they set off, Shi Ran was already very happy, clamoring not to eat breakfast at home, but to go to a nearby hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot!

Last time, they had wanted to look at a house while eating hot pot, but it didn't work out, and it had been dragged out for such a long time.

Shi Youxuan teased her daughter: "You little foodie, whose family eats hot pot for breakfast?"

Shi Ran was unconvinced: "Rules are made by people; just because other families don't eat hot pot in the morning doesn't mean our family can't."

Sheng Hanyu tried to smooth things over in the middle: "We'll eat it at noon, we'll eat hot pot after looking at the house; they aren't even open in the morning."

As it turned out, a perfectly normal sentence, impartial as it was, caused dissatisfaction from both mother and daughter.

Shi Youxuan glared at him: "Just keep spoiling her; this girl will be spoiled rotten by you sooner or later."

The little girl was unconvinced and retorted: "Dad didn't spoil me; the person he spoils the most is you. Before you two made up, Dad was best to me, but now he's best to you—you're biased!"

Sheng Hanyu smiled and said nothing.

He could handle any complex problem, but he just couldn't handle the relationship between this mother and daughter at home.

The relationship between the mother and daughter was extremely unstable; sometimes they were as close as one person, teaming up to bully him.

But other times, they would be jealous and attack each other!

And there was no warning at all; the two versions switched back and forth with ease.

Although bickering was a daily routine, the family atmosphere was very good, getting closer and closer to the state Shi Ran idealized—living life full of the warmth of home!

……

Breakfast was still eaten at home, very simple.

Sandwiches made by Fang Jie, and a glass of milk for each person.

After breakfast, they set off, and from afar, they saw many people standing at the entrance of the residential complex, standing in two rows as if there were a major event.

A banner was also hung above the main gate of the complex, with welcome slogans written on it.

Getting closer, one could see the words on the banner clearly: Warmly welcome the Chairman to inspect.

Warmly welcome the Chairman to settle his new home in this complex.

The project manager stood at the entrance of the complex, anxiously looking toward them.

Shi Youxuan felt the property management was making a fuss over nothing; it was just coming to look at a house, why put on such a big show?

But Sheng Hanyu told her that this was the project manager "using" their family of three.

Of course, putting on such a big show didn't exclude the element of flattery, but the greater purpose was to use this welcome ceremony as a live advertisement, telling people preparing to buy a house that their Chairman lived in this complex, so they should hurry up and buy, as it definitely wouldn't be a mistake.

After hearing his explanation, Shi Youxuan finally understood that this was the idea behind it.

This project manager was truly shrewd enough.

Sheng Hanyu was quite proud: "Of course, people without brains wouldn't be able to climb to this position."

While they were talking, the car had already driven up close.

But what surprised Shi Youxuan and her daughter was—they didn't hear any applause or welcoming sounds!

No one even opened the car door for them; what was going on?

Putting on such a big show at the entrance, was it really just for outsiders to see?

Was it just for show?

The Chairman had really come, and they didn't even pay him any mind; were they that arrogant?

Not just arrogant, but something even more outrageous happened next.

"Knock, knock."

The Security Guard knocked on the car window.

So Shi Youxuan opened a crack in the window glass.

The Security Guard waved his hand impatiently, his tone even worse: "Drive away, drive away. Is this a place where you should be parking? Cars looking at houses should park in the front. Our Chairman's motorcade is coming in a while, don't block the road."

Shi Youxuan:...

She thought to herself: You're welcoming the Chairman's car, yet you complain that I'm blocking the road?

Then who are we three?

It was very obvious that the Security Guard had mistaken them for ordinary house hunters.

Sheng Hanyu didn't make a sound, but his brows furrowed.

He had just been boasting to the mother and daughter about his ability to use people, and this dog-eyed, snobbish wretch had just slapped him in the face.

Usually, when Sheng Hanyu went to inspect projects, Mercedes-Benzes led the way, bodyguards were in groups, and the dedicated guest car had a license plate with six eights in a row, which was especially flashy.

But precisely because it was too flashy, he was driving an ordinary car today and dressed casually, so his subordinates didn't recognize him.

Not recognizing him was a small matter; the key was that if they treated him this way, they would also treat ordinary house hunters this way.

Such people could not be kept; one couldn't let a single small Security Guard ruin the brand image of the entire project.

He didn't make a sound because he wanted to see how the project manager would handle it.

If the manager had the same attitude as the Security Guard, then the upper beam was crooked and the lower beam was askew, and they must both be replaced!

Shi Youxuan started arguing with the Security Guard; she was doing it on purpose.

"Why can't I park here? This is a parking space, why won't you let me park?"

The Security Guard was exasperated, and his attitude became even worse: "Can't you understand human speech? I've already told you that our Chairman is coming; this isn't a place for you to park. Get lost, hurry up and leave."

Shi Youxuan's voice was even louder than his: "Since this parking space of yours cannot be used by other cars, you should have written it down or had signs beforehand. As it is, you do nothing, and then drive people away after they've parked; that's unreasonable."

Before they arrived, other cars had parked here, and they had all been driven away.

No one else had said anything, but Shi Youxuan refused to leave, so the Security Guard became even angrier, even threatening her: "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'm going to smash your car."

"You smash it! Try smashing it and see what happens?"

The commotion here finally attracted the project manager.

"What are you doing? Apologize to them."

The manager had a pretty good attitude and told the Security Guard to apologize directly.

The Security Guard still wanted to explain, but was kicked: "Apologize! Have you forgotten what our service philosophy is? Did you feed the employee handbook to the dogs?"

He didn't just make the Security Guard apologize; he apologized himself, stating that this whole matter was his own fault for not considering things thoroughly and letting the guests feel wronged.

At the same time, he also proposed a solution.

He would find them a parking space elsewhere, and then give them a small gift as compensation after they viewed the property.

Although the item wasn't valuable, the attitude was there.

Furthermore, the project manager explained that the motorcade arriving later would consist of luxury cars, the kind worth at least several million!

If there were any scratches, it would be quite troublesome, as it would exceed the scope of insurance coverage...

The manager's solution made Shi Youxuan very satisfied.

So she pushed open the car door and got out!

Standing in front of the manager, she asked: "Where is the person who is supposed to show us the property?"

Manager:...

"Miss, did you not understand what I just said? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Shi Ran got out from the other door and urged: "Daddy, hurry up, I can't wait to go see the house."

Shi Youxuan smiled brightly: "No misunderstanding. Aren't you waiting for us here? We've arrived."

Sheng Hanyu got out of the car, and the moment the manager saw him, he was completely stunned!

His eyes and mouth were open just as wide, and he stood there in disbelief.

Sheng Hanyu didn't care whether the manager was shocked; he pointed at the Security Guard and instructed the manager: "Settle his wages and have him leave today." Then he led the mother and daughter toward the main entrance.

"Chairman, Chairman, I was wrong."

The manager followed behind them, his voice mournful, terrified and trembling.

He never imagined that the Chairman would personally drive to view the property, and in such an inconspicuous Japanese car at that.

"If you're wrong, write a self-criticism and reflect deeply." In front of his subordinates, Sheng Hanyu possessed a natural air of authority, commanding respect without anger.
