Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Reluctant Departure
It was the Su Group that was pulling the strings behind the curtain!
Shit!!!
Gao Fei's face instantly turned extremely gloomy; first, they fired him, then they pressured the landlord into taking the house back—this was clearly pushing him to his death!
"Gao Fei, I'm sorry." Liu Dahai let out a helpless sigh: "I didn't want to do this... But... I really can't afford to offend the Su Group."
Gao Fei let out a muffled breath: "Give me a few more days, as soon as I find a new place, I will move out immediately."
"I wish I could give you time, but the Su Group won't allow it," Liu Dahai said with a mournful expression: "They said you must move out today, not a day's delay is allowed."
"Bastard!" Gao Fei punched the doorframe.
Liu Dahai jumped in fright: "Don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out, please don't do anything rash... Gao Fei, please, just move out quickly. If it comes down to it, I'll refund you last month's rent, too."
"Fine, I will move now," Gao Fei gritted his teeth and nodded: "Give me some time to pack my things."
"Half an hour, is that enough?" Liu Dahai asked.
"It's enough." Gao Fei found a suitcase and stuffed all his clothes and shoes into it. After a little over ten minutes, he left with the suitcase in hand.
"Try the neighborhood next door, there are houses for rent there, and the prices are not expensive," Liu Dahai's shouting voice came from behind.
...
In the following days, Gao Fei started looking for a house everywhere. At first, real estate agents were very enthusiastic, but as soon as Gao Fei took out his ID card, their expressions changed immediately and they kicked him out.
This was the case with one real estate agent, the same with two, and still the same with three...
It was later that Gao Fei understood the reality of the situation. It turned out that all the real estate agents in Bright Pearl City had received warnings from the Su Group. Anyone who dared rent to Gao Fei would suffer the Su Group's retaliation. That's why the real estate agents steered clear of him.
"Son of a bitch!" Gao Fei trembled with fury: "To think they would resort to such despicable means to target me, it's absolutely hateful! Su Zhentian, just you wait, I will not let you off!"
Since he couldn't rent a place, he might as well stay in a hotel.
But what filled Gao Fei with righteous indignation was that all the hotels in Bright Pearl City refused to accommodate him, for a very simple reason—they, too, had received warnings from the Su Group.
From this alone, one could see just how much power the Su Group wielded; with just a word, the entire Bright Pearl City was afraid to host Gao Fei.
This wasn't the end of it. Every once in a while, a bunch of hoodlums would come looking for trouble with Gao Fei, but in the end, they were all chased off by him. Needless to say, these ruffians must have also been sent by Su Zhentian, the Chairman of the Su Group.
In order to drive Gao Fei out of Bright Pearl City, Su Zhentian was indeed stopping at nothing.
As night gradually fell, light rain started to flutter down from the sky.
Gao Fei touched the rain on his face and cursed: "Why do all these damn unfortunate things happen to me? Can't you open your eyes, God!" No sooner had Gao Fei finished swearing than the light rain turned into a downpour, and in the blink of an eye, he was drenched to the skin.
Damn it!
Gao Fei cursed and jumped with anger, you damned heavens, you are truly without compassion!
The rain grew heavier and heavier, covering the entire city. At the end of his rope, Gao Fei could only run under a bridge to take shelter from the rain. Sitting in the cold bridge cave, looking at the rain outside, his mood was indescribably dismal.
"Sigh..." Gao Fei let out a soft sigh: "It seems I can no longer stay in this Bright Pearl City... A true man can bend and stretch; I'll just have to swallow this for now and wait until I make my fortune to come back for revenge."
After some deliberation, Gao Fei finally decided to leave Bright Pearl City!
The next day, Gao Fei left Bright Pearl City by train.
In the dim carriage, Gao Fei looked through the window at the tall buildings outside, feeling somewhat melancholic, about to leave the city he had lived in for years, it was hard to let go.
"Rumble rumble..."
The train slowly started, from slow to fast, turning into a gust of wind, speeding towards the distance.
"Bright Pearl City, I will definitely come back one day!" Gao Fei vowed to himself.
It is worth mentioning that his mobile number was inexplicably canceled, turning into a disconnected number. Needless to ask, it was certainly Su Zhentian's doing! Bastard, utterly shameless! After cursing a few times, Gao Fei went to a service center and got himself a new number.
...
Su Group headquarters building.
Top floor.
Chairman's office.
Ding Xiang was reporting to Su Zhentian about Gao Fei's situation: "Chairman, just received news that Gao Fei has already left Bright Pearl City."
"Gone?" Su Zhentian let out a sneer, "A despicable poor kid dares to challenge me, truly ignorant of life and death! By the way, where did he go?"
"He went to the south," Ding Xiang answered.
"Hmm, let's just leave it at that," Su Zhentian said as he slowly sipped his tea: "How is Xiaorou doing?"
"The young mistress is progressing smoothly and should be back in two or three days," Ding Xiang said.
"Hmm, once Xiaorou comes back, I will have a good talk with her," Su Zhentian said: "She's not that young anymore, it's time she found a boyfriend." At this point, Su Zhentian looked up at Ding Xiang, "What do you think of Dongfang Jian?"
"Dongfang Jian..." Ding Xiang hesitated for a moment: "Dongfang Jian is good-looking and comes from a good family. He's quite a match for the young mistress. If the Su Group and Dongfang Group could be united through marriage, that would indeed be a joyous event."
Su Zhentian sighed, "I have a rather good impression of Dongfang Jian as well, it's just... Xiaorou is too stubborn. She just refuses to accept Dongfang Jian. We've had countless arguments over this matter." Mentioning this made Su Zhentian somewhat irate.
"Take it slow, I believe the young mistress will eventually understand," Ding Xiang consoled.
"I hope so," Su Zhentian said, shaking his head helplessly.
...
At the same time.
Dongfang Jian had also received news that Gao Fei had left Bright Pearl City.
"Hehe..." Dongfang Jian laughed cheerfully, "This old man Su Zhentian is really ruthless, not only did he fire that smelly kid Gao Fei, but he also drove him out of Bright Pearl City. How cruel and decisive! Truly befitting of a business tycoon who has been in the industry for many years! Just this resolute cruelty is not something the average person can match."
"Young master, you can rest easy now," the bodyguard Ah Long said with a smile: "No one will dare to compete with you for a woman anymore."
"Go, make arrangements for me. I'm going to visit Su Zhentian tonight," Dongfang Jian said with a laugh: "To talk to him about the marriage with Su Xiaorou."
"With the young master's involvement, success is guaranteed!" The bodyguard Ah Long started to flatter.
"Enough, go get to work," Dongfang Jian said impatiently with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, I'll go now," Ah Long said as he turned to leave.
Dongfang Jian sat on the sofa, with one leg crossed over the other, a cigar in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other, a sly smile formed at the corner of his mouth: "Su Xiaorou! You'll never escape my palm! Once I've got you, I'll certainly train you well and let you experience the prowess of this young master!" Dongfang Jian's pursuit of Su Xiaorou had two objectives: firstly, he was attracted to her beauty, and secondly, he had his eyes on Su Group. Su Xiaorou was the sole heir to the Su Group, and marrying her would mean having the Su Group in his grip.
In the evening, Dongfang Jian brought gifts to visit Su Zhentian and was warmly received.
After some conversation, Dongfang Jian's heart was put at ease, just as he had predicted, Su Zhentian was quite fond of him and supported his pursuit of Su Xiaorou.
After staying for more than an hour, Dongfang Jian rose to take his leave. From entering to leaving, Dongfang Jian had been courteous and articulate, leaving a very good impression on Su Zhentian.
Su Zhentian stood at the entrance of his villa, watching Dongfang Jian's departing figure, nodding with a smile, "This Dongfang Jian is indeed not bad. If he could become my son-in-law, that would be great."
...
Each flower blossoms differently, each in its own way.
Now, let's talk about Gao Fei's situation.
He traveled by train all the way southward, finally arriving at Southern City, a city renowned for its beautiful environment, ranked among the top nationwide.
Gao Fei chose this city because it has a booming Gambling Stone industry, attracting countless people each year to try their luck. Many locals have made fortunes by selling stones.
Since receiving the Demon God Heritage, Gao Fei had made some plans for his life: first, to successfully cultivate his Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance ability, and second, to use the clairvoyance to amass wealth. Gambling Stone was the path he was most keen on because it was a quick way to money, and it wouldn't take long for Gao Fei to accumulate a substantial fortune.
With the power of clairvoyance, wasn't playing the Gambling Stone game an easy task?
Gao Fei, carrying his luggage, stood at the exit of the train station, scanning the high-rise buildings all around, and nodded to himself: "Compared to Bright Pearl City, Southern City is not inferior at all. From now on, this is where I will struggle! To start my glorious life!"
After expressing his lofty ambitions, Gao Fei left the train station with his luggage.
Seeing as it was still early, Gao Fei went straight to a housing agency to inquire about renting a place. With his current financial situation, he definitely couldn't afford to buy a house, so renting was the only option.
As luck would have it, the housing agency had an affordable apartment for rent in a not-too-bad location. The only issue was that it was right next to a train station, so it was a bit noisy, which is why the rent was so cheap.
Gao Fei only thought for a second before paying to rent the apartment.
After signing the rental contract, Gao Fei moved into his new home.
Ninety square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, with all the furniture and appliances quite complete. Overall, it seemed quite good. Gao Fei set down his luggage, then went into the bathroom to take a hot shower. Afterwards, he cooked himself a box of instant noodles and added two sausages, making do for lunch. He would have a better meal in the evening.
After eating his fill, Gao Fei began to cultivate.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already evening.
