Chapter 373: Chapter 218 Fraudulent Company_2

The scam gang led by Gu Xin was incredibly meticulous in their operations, especially when it came to details, which was quite commendable.

The reason, of course, was that Gu Xin and his people wanted to deceive as many as possible for as long as possible in Xiu Zhou.

After all, Xiu Zhou is one of the major cities in the country, and the job applicants there are generally wealthy and willing to spend money.

"You two, come with me to the office; let’s have a proper talk to clear up any misunderstandings."

Gu Xin took control of the situation and immediately summoned the two women to the office, intending to provide necessary reassurance and minimize the impact of the incident.

He had handled many such situations before. The principle was to continue deceiving if possible, delay if necessary, and when all else failed, offer them one or two small gigs. These could be real or fake, essentially just getting them to change into a few new outfits, taking photos by a photographer, and at most giving them two or three hundred yuan, claiming these photos would be used by businesses.

This way, they could temporarily pacify them, and in about ten days to a half month, it should still be fine. By then, if their company was still operating, the same routine could be used repeatedly. Until they dissolved the company and fled.

Chen Feng watched the whole process, noticing that none of the girls filling out forms left, which left him speechless. Are young girls these days really that easy to deceive?

However, to be fair, you couldn’t fully blame them. On one hand, Gu Xin and his group’s professionalism was very high, and on the other hand, they deliberately invited "famous models" to endorse and chose this International Trade Building, giving the office a high-end image. The company was well-decorated, with a director’s office, finance room, makeup room, and photo studio. All the clothes and cosmetics were dazzling, making it hard to believe it was a fake modeling agency.

"Chen Feng, how do you find it here? Want to take another look?"

After Gu Xin took the two women to the office, Cai Zhixin immediately asked Chen Feng. He was in urgent need of money and eager to sell this property.

Chen Feng glanced at him and, instead of answering, asked a question: "Do you know this Gu the Swindler?"

Cai Zhixin was startled for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, saying: "Not really. Mainly a landlord-tenant relationship, but I’ve bumped into him a couple of times at a friend’s club, had a few drinks, and chatted a bit. I never intended to have deep ties with these street swindlers."

Chen Feng nodded, believing him. Clearly, someone like him, a well-known and respected local wealthy person, had no need to associate with such low-level street swindlers, let alone have deep relations.

The two of them casually discussed Gu the Swindler in the office area, directly calling Gu Xin a swindler, and they weren’t quiet about it. Those around heard them, and everyone’s expression changed, including the company’s staff.

Among them, a male staff member immediately growled, "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here quickly, you’re not welcome here."

Cai Zhixin instantly gave him an unkind glare: "You fucking kidding me? This is my property, and you’re telling me to leave? Want me to get someone to throw all of you out? Damn swindler, stop pretending to be honest in front of me."

After this outburst from Cai Zhixin, the swindler fell silent. Owning such an office building locally was no small feat.

About this time, the dozen or so girls filling out forms finally reacted.

The first three or four stood up, picked up their forms, and left. The remaining girls followed, heading for the door.

They’d already suspected the company of being a scam when the two women made a scene, but Gu Xin’s slick words had convinced them otherwise.

However, for Cai Zhixin, a rich second-generation and the landlord, it was unlikely he’d lie to them, right? Even the slowest of minds would realize, after hearing Chen Feng and Cai Zhixin’s words, that it was a scam company.

"Don’t go! Don’t listen to their nonsense. We are a legitimate company; we haven’t deceived anyone."

"Don’t leave. You’ll regret it if you go."

In the end, three girls stayed, but they were all long-faced because they had already paid money. Now they regretted it and wanted the staff to refund them. The staff, of course, refused, leading to a dispute.

Chen Feng signaled to Cai Zhixin with his eyes and led the way out of the modeling agency.

At the elevator lobby, they saw a crowd of women waiting for the elevator, so they headed towards the stairs, as it was only the fourth floor.

Reaching the first-floor mall, Chen Feng stopped and turned to Cai Zhixin, saying, "I’ll buy this place, but there’s a condition."

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhixin quickly asked, "What condition? If it’s not too difficult, I can agree."

Chen Feng, with a serious face, said: "The condition should be simple for you—help alert the authorities to dismantle this scam company. I believe you, Young Master Cai, have the capability."

Cai Zhixin’s expression immediately became a bit strange as he looked at him: "It’s indeed not a difficult task for me, but they haven’t offended you, have they? Is this really necessary?"

Chen Feng smiled and said: "They haven’t offended me. But I just don’t like this group of swindlers. Plus, the people they scam are all young and pretty girls eager for jobs, which is truly despicable."

Cai Zhixin laughed: "Seems like you are also a man of culture, one who appreciates beauty. Alright, I’ll help you with this. Honestly, I’m fed up with this bunch of swindlers too. Initially, I didn’t know they were swindlers; it was only after the lease was signed that I found out. Watching them carry out these despicable scams is indeed quite disgusting, so let’s deal with them this time."

Chen Feng nodded and said: "Then it’s settled. Once this scam company is dismantled, we’ll sign the contract."

"Alright, straightforward. I’ll get it done for you today. Expect good news from me."

Cai Zhixin said no more to Chen Feng after that and left with his female companion.

At this moment, Sun Xiaorui looked at Chen Feng with an admiring gaze, and once they left, she couldn’t help but hug him, her eyes full of admiration and affection: "Brother Feng, you’re really righteous; I truly love you."

"Enough. We’re in public," Chen Feng said with a smile, patting her back. "I was just doing what I could. Since I have the means to help, I might as well lend a hand—consider it a good deed accruing virtue."

They were in a mall on the first floor. Although there aren’t many people around, there are quite a few, prompting Sun Xiaorui to let go of Chen Feng a bit shyly, smiling as she said, "Still, Brother Feng, you’re impressive. Using the strategy of using borrowed strength, those con artists are bound to get what’s coming to them."

Chen Feng nodded, but said nothing.
