The people around couldnāt help but snicker.
"Damn, thatās brutal!"
"If Iām not mistaken, this was on purpose, right?"
"Serves her right, thatās karma for doing something so unethical!"
"This guyās trick is just perfect, I love it!"
At this moment, Huang Xiaoying also realized that Lin Fan was deliberately making things difficult for the woman, returning the favor in kind. Watching the womanās breakdown, Huang Xiaoying felt ecstatic inside.
Earlier, she felt insulted and furious when the woman compensated her with coins. But now she wasnāt angry at all, as the person who caused the trouble brought it upon herself. She was more than happy to watch her misfortune.
The woman with a face full of flesh was almost in tears, saying, "I wonāt count anymore, youāre clearly making it difficult on purpose!"
Lin Fan responded with an "Oh": "You know about making things difficult on purpose, huh? Then why did you deliberately make it difficult for Little Ying with these coins?"
Woman: "..."
Speechless.
Causing trouble for others eventually leads to trouble for oneself; this is what it means to lift a stone only to drop it on oneās own foot.
Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "You can start counting now."
The woman with a face full of flesh couldnāt take it any longer and began to plead, "Canāt I stop counting? How about this, Iāll take the coins back and transfer her the money."
Lin Fan shook his head, saying, "No, you forgot, I said we would accept these coins, and now weāll only accept these coins, no other forms of payment."
The woman felt furious inside, thinking that he was out to ruin her!
She was about to explode.
"Mr. Lin told you to count, so just count, why so much nonsense!"
A voice said, and Old Gou stepped out of a small car, walking over with a serious expression.
"Boss..." The woman with a face full of flesh was startled; the boss actually came over.
The crowd was curious; so this is the stingy boss, huh, he actually showed up?
Old Gou quickly walked up to Lin Fan, looking respectful, and bowed, saying, "Mr. Lin, I am Gou Zhixiang, the owner of Linglong Fitness, itās an honor to meet you."
As he said this, Old Gou extended his hand, attempting to shake hands with Lin Fan.
After Lin Fan called him, he rushed over immediately. Such a good opportunity to meet Lin Fan, he certainly didnāt want to miss it.
But Lin Fan did not shake his hand and said plainly, "You came at a good time, you can be a witness."
Old Gou awkwardly withdrew his hand and nodded, saying, "Alright, Mr. Lin."
The crowd was baffled; the boss was actually trying to ingratiate himself with Lin Fan?
Lin Fan looked toward the woman with a face full of flesh: "Begin."
"Start counting!" Old Gou ordered.
The woman with a face full of flesh had no choice but to continue counting coins with a bitter expression. It was truly exhausting, and she was close to tears as she counted.
"15000, 15001..."
After a while, she finally counted up to 15000, and a pile of coins accumulated on the floor.
This was an extremely tedious task, but everyone around was watching her count coins, none willing to leave, as they all wanted to see how Lin Fan would further tease this woman.
Old Gou watched from the side, so bored he started to doze off.
Lin Fan nudged him, and he woke up immediately, forcing himself to stay alert.
"Boss Gou, donāt fall asleep," Lin Fan smiled.
Old Gou forced himself to open his eyes wide, saying, "Iām fine, I can do this."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I donāt think so, please pause."
The woman with a face full of flesh stopped, her soul trembling, and she asked quiveringly, "What now?"
Lin Fan sighed and said, "Itās all your bossās fault; he was dozing off, so he probably canāt confirm whether you counted correctly or not. In case he refuses to acknowledge it later, youāll have to count again from the start. Boss Gou, make sure to watch carefully this time; your finance counting isnāt easy."
Starting over again!
This was already the third time!
The woman with a face full of flesh completely broke down and started crying on the spot, "No, I donāt want to count again, boss, Iām begging you?"
She begged Old Gou for help.
Old Gou smiled bitterly inside. Of course, he knew that Lin Fan was deliberately making things difficult, but how could he dare to offend Lin Fan?
"Mr. Lin asked you to count, just do it, donāt talk nonsense!" Old Gou said with a stern face.
The woman with a face full of flesh was furious; the boss not only didnāt help her but also forced her to obey Lin Fan!
The woman couldnāt help but scream in excitement, "Iām not doing this anymore, if you want to count, do it yourself!"
Old Gou angrily said, "Youāre not counting? Do you not want the job?"
The woman got up and shouted, "I donāt want the job anymore, Iām quitting, alright!"
This finance employee dared to drop everything and leave; Old Gouās expression immediately changed as he snorted coldly, "This is you quitting voluntarily, Iām not paying you any severance!"
The woman said, "I donāt want any severance, just give me my monthly salary!"
Old Gou was fuming, and upon spotting the coins on the ground, he had an idea and smiled slyly, "No problem settling your salary; Iāll calculate a full month for you, which is 4000, take 40,000 coins from here and leave!"
The woman was stunned, "What, youāre paying my salary with these coins?"
Old Gou said, "Arenāt coins money? If you want it, take it; if not, Iāll assume youāve forfeited it. Also, youād better not take more, or Iāll accuse you of embezzling company funds."
The woman was extremely angry, sheād rather die than count these coins again. Now just seeing these coins triggered a physiological fear.
"I donāt want the salary, okay!" the woman with a face full of flesh screamed, turning to run away.
She wished these coins would disappear immediately, so she simply made herself scarce.
Old Gou chuckled, "You said it yourself!"
The crowd watching burst into laughter; this is what they say about evil meeting its match, and Lin Fan certainly knew how to make these wicked people hurt each other.
How did he manage to do that?
Seeing the finance girl leave, Old Gou turned to Lin Fan and awkwardly smiled, "Mr. Lin, how about this, I will transfer the money to Little Ying now, and these coins wonāt count."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No, Iāve already said, we want these coins, now that your finance person has left, the honorable task of counting the coins falls to you."
What?
Old Gou broke out in a cold sweat.
Plop!
He kneeled before Lin Fan, having witnessed firsthand how Lin Fan tortured the finance girl; he didnāt want to suffer the same fate, so he surrendered immediately.
"Mr. Lin, please, have mercy on me, I really know I was wrong." Old Gou cried with snot and tears.
Lin Fan said coldly, "Apologizing to me is useless, ask Little Ying if she can forgive you?"
Old Gou hurriedly knelt to Little Ying, crying, "Little Ying, Iām sorry, I was stupid to disgust you with coins; itās all my fault for being narrow-minded, I deserve to die, but now I realize my mistake, can you forgive me? Please forgive me!"
Old Gou almost kowtowed to Huang Xiaoying.
Huang Xiaoying eventually softened, having already vented her anger. Seeing Old Gou crying so miserably, her heart softened, and she said, "Since you know youāre wrong, fine, transfer the money to me, and this matter will be over."
Old Gou was overjoyed and said, "Sure, Iāll transfer it to you immediately."
Old Gou took out his phone and quickly transferred 5000 yuan to Huang Xiaoying.
Huang Xiaoying finally received her due money and was very happy, saying, "Letās leave it at that, you can take these coins back with you."
Old Gou nodded, "Okay."
Old Gou picked up a bucket of coins, awkwardly smiled, "Mr. Lin, Iāll take my leave then."
Old Gou carried the bucket of coins and walked toward his car.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan called after him, "Boss Gou, starting next month, your storeās rent will increase by 20%, as a slight punishment for you. If youāre unwilling, you can move out."
Upon hearing this, Old Gou staggered, losing balance, and both he and the bucket fell to the ground, scattering coins everywhere.
Crying without tears!
He regretted it so much he could cry; if he had known earlier that Huang Xiaoying was Lin Fanās acquaintance, he would never have done such a mean thing, as causing harm to others ultimately harms oneself!
Lin Fan ignored Old Gou and said to Huang Xiaoying, "Letās go, take me inside for a meal."
Huang Xiaoying cheerfully said, "Okay."
Beside them, Ye Qingmei looked at Lin Fan, filled with curiosity, and grabbed Feng Ruolan, saying, "Sister, quickly tell me, who exactly is this sworn brother of yours?"
Feng Ruolan smiled faintly and said, "Him? Do you know the Mortal Group?"
