Chapter 120: Compensation for Mental Distress
This trip wasn’t in vain…
Wang Haoran felt a surge of joy after receiving the system notification. Tang Bingyun’s favorability towards him had now reached 75, marking a significant change. He needed to think of a clever way to win her over next.
“Who are you?” Shen Kang, annoyed by the interruption, questioned Wang Haoran.
“Well, my dad is Wang Xiang, and my mom is Zhen Li,” Wang Haoran casually introduced himself.
Upon hearing this, Shen Kang’s eyelids twitched. He had heard of Wang Xiang and Zhen Li’s reputation. Although he had met Wang Haoran once before, he never imagined that he was their son. This was a super-rich second generation in front of him. If it came down to it, Shen Kang’s resources couldn’t compare to the Wang family.
“It seems to be a misunderstanding, President Tang, sorry for the disturbance,” Shen Kang realized that his plans were thwarted and decided to suppress his thoughts for now. He made a gesture to leave.
With a “bang,” the door was kicked shut by Wang Haoran.
“Just leaving after saying a few words? That’s too easy, isn’t it? Are you disregarding me?” Wang Haoran said arrogantly.
Shen Kang was wary of Wang Xiang and Zhen Li, but he looked down on Wang Haoran. Seeing Wang Haoran’s attitude, he couldn’t help but get angry:
“Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me, Shen Kang…”
Slap!
Before Shen Kang could finish, he received a slap across the face.
“You little…” Shen Kang raised his hand to retaliate.
Slap!
But before his hand could reach mid-air, he was slapped again. He was stunned. Wang Haoran’s movements were too fast for him to react.
“I’ll give you a chance to reorganize your words,” Wang Haoran said.
“What do you want?” Shen Kang abandoned the idea of fighting back.
“That’s more like it,” Wang Haoran praised, then continued, “The presidential suite in your hotel is quite nice. I come here often, and staying one night costs eight or nine thousand. It’s a bit expensive.”
He had stayed here many times and might come more often in the future. Now was a good opportunity to extort something from Shen Kang.
“I’ll reserve a presidential suite for you, and all your expenses here will be free,” Shen Kang offered.
“Who do you think you’re looking down on?! Even if I stayed here every day, it would only cost a few million a year. Do you think you can settle this with such a small amount?” Wang Haoran sneered.
A few million was nothing to him.
“What do you mean?” Shen Kang frowned.
“You’re a big boss, yet you have no comprehension skills?” Wang Haoran mocked.
“Are you saying you want this hotel? That’s too greedy!” Shen Kang snorted.
“Let me show you something,” Wang Haoran took out his phone and displayed a surveillance video.
Shen Kang, puzzled, leaned in to look and was shocked to find that the footage was from the room they were in. He was stunned. How did the surveillance from his hidden cameras end up on Wang Haoran’s phone? It was unbelievable!
With Wang Haoran having the surveillance footage, it meant he had evidence of Shen Kang threatening Tang Bingyun. After weighing his options, Shen Kang said, “Since you like my hotel, I’ll give it to you.”
“I’m not a robber. Get it straight, I’m buying your hotel, not asking for it as a gift,” Wang Haoran clarified.
“How much do you intend to pay?” Shen Kang felt slightly relieved. Selling it cheaply was better than giving it away for free.
“One yuan,” Wang Haoran held up a finger.
Shen Kang’s face twitched. This five-star hotel was valued at nearly three hundred million, and the other party wanted to buy it for just one yuan. The worst part was, he couldn’t refuse.
“I’ll have my lawyer prepare the transfer contract as soon as possible,” Shen Kang said, feeling aggrieved.
“Very generous of you, Mr. Shen,” Wang Haoran applauded and handed Shen Kang a cup of tea, “Have some tea to calm down, and let’s call it even.”
Shen Kang took the cup and drank it in one go. After selling such a big hotel for one yuan, what was one more cup of tea?
Seeing this, Wang Haoran secretly showed a look of pity. The tea Shen Kang drank contained the same ingredients as the one from Yan Guishan…
“Stupid woman, what are you standing there for? Let’s go!” Shen Kang shouted at Mrs. Shen and left the wellness center with her.
With his supreme poisoning skills, Wang Haoran could kill Shen Kang without leaving a trace. However, Shen Kang still had some use. Wang Haoran planned to use Shen Kang against Yan Guishan.
“What are you doing here?” Tang Bingyun asked Wang Haoran in surprise.
“My back was a bit uncomfortable, so I took a leave to get a massage at the wellness center,” Wang Haoran made up an excuse. In reality, ever since he took the Dragon and Tiger Vitality Pill, his back had been in excellent condition. Qin Yunhan, Wen Jing, and Fang Xuan couldn’t handle it and even begged for mercy.
“Is it serious? You should see a doctor,” Tang Bingyun said with concern.
“It’s just a minor issue, probably from sitting too long due to study. A massage will fix it,” Wang Haoran explained, not wanting Tang Bingyun to dwell on the matter. He changed the subject, “I helped you vent your anger. Are you feeling better?”
“Yes, I feel much better,” Tang Bingyun replied with a relaxed smile.
“When Shen Kang prepares the contract, have a lawyer sign it, and put it under your name as compensation for your mental distress,” Wang Haoran offered.
“I can have a lawyer sign it, but keep it under your name. I don’t need the money,” Tang Bingyun declined.
“Alright then,” Wang Haoran accepted and then warned Tang Bingyun, “You were too careless. How did you get tricked by Mrs. Shen?”
“She said she wanted to buy a set of jade worth 15 million. I thought if I could close the deal, I’d earn several million, so I came.”
“Aren’t you not short of money? You care about a few million?” Wang Haoran teased.
“A few million is still a lot. Who wouldn’t want more money?” Tang Bingyun replied with a greedy look.
“Did you learn your lesson this time?”
“Yes, I won’t go out alone for business again.”
Just as Tang Bingyun finished speaking, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, it was Old Tang. Because of the marriage contract, Tang Bingyun had been avoiding conversations with her grandfather. However, she still answered the call.
“Bingyun, the medical report will take some time. I’ve chosen an auspicious day for you and Guishan to get engaged. Find some time to try on the wedding dress,” Old Tang said over the phone.
