Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Meeting a Colleague from the Past

Buddha spoke to Xiao Yifei in a methodical tone.

Hearing Buddha’s answer, Xiao Yifei was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Buddha to truly know about it.

"Alright! Since you say it’s good, let’s go take a look!"

Xiao Yifei waved his hand grandly and said to Buddha with a smile, "Let’s go, lead the way for us!"

Buddha looked at Xiao Yifei, thinking he would ask why he knew about it, but Xiao Yifei didn’t ask, so Buddha didn’t explain either. He sighed softly and walked ahead to lead the way for Xiao Yifei.

"By the way, boss, how are we getting there?"

When they reached the entrance of the housing complex, Buddha suddenly stopped and turned back to ask Xiao Yifei.

"Is the place far?"

Xiao Yifei inquired.

"The property we’re looking at is in Yanjing City, not far from here, but it’s certainly too far to walk."

Buddha responded.

"Fine, then let’s take a taxi."

Sun Li said with a laugh.

Who knew that when trying to catch a taxi at the street corner, due to White Bear’s size, one taxi couldn’t fit them all. Left with no choice, White Bear, with a full face of grievance, had to take another taxi and followed behind Xiao Yifei’s.

"Do I need to buy a car too?"

Xiao Yifei pondered in the taxi, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt he was lacking in many aspects.

The Lamborghini in the garage was hardly ever used, and he truly did need a vehicle for daily use, so after buying a house, buying a car was also added to Xiao Yifei’s agenda.

Soon, the group of four finally arrived at the property site Buddha had mentioned.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Meifeng stuck closely behind Xiao Yifei. Though her demeanor had changed, this was still her first time visiting a property in Yanjing.

Xiao Yifei looked up at the nicely decorated sales center and then stepped inside.

"Good day, sir, are you here to look at houses?"

As soon as he walked into the sales center, a male voice sounded beside Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei turned his head to respond, but before he could speak, he heard the same male voice ring out again.

"Hey! Wu Chou? Weren’t you out making your fortune? What kind of wind blew you back here?"

The man’s voice was full of ridicule and mockery.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yifei turned his head in confusion toward the direction from which it came, not understanding why he had heard these words as soon as he walked in.

A man in a suit appeared before Xiao Yifei; the man wasn’t old, probably in his thirties, with quite a handsome appearance, except for the large, hawk-like nose that seemed a bit sinister.

At this moment, the man was looking at him with a mocking smile.

"Do I know you?"

Xiao Yifei frowned at the man, not understanding why the man would speak to him in such a manner upon their first meeting.

"Ah, my apologies, I wasn’t talking to you, I was speaking to Wu Chou,"

The man said with a smile to Xiao Yifei, then shifted his gaze to Buddha, who was standing next to Xiao Yifei.

"Wu Chou? Who is Wu Chou?"

Xiao Yifei followed the man’s gaze towards the back and suddenly caught sight of Buddha.

"Boss, he’s talking about me."

Buddha revealed a bitter smile and said to Xiao Yifei with a laugh, "My name is Wu Chou."

"Do you know each other?"

Xiao Yifei looked at Buddha curiously, then at the speaking man, feeling somewhat intrigued.

The man who was clearly a real estate salesman seemed to know Buddha, and from his demeanor, it appeared that he did not hold Buddha in high regard.

"Yes, we know each other."

A trace of bitterness flickered across Buddha’s face as he said, "I worked for this real estate company before I went to ’that place,’ and I was colleagues with Zhao Lei."

Hearing Buddha’s explanation, Xiao Yifei finally understood why Buddha had spoken the way he did earlier about introducing him to buy a house. So, Buddha was an employee of the company before, but Xiao Yifei still found it strange, why would the real estate salesman, Zhao Lei, have such a big gripe with Buddha.

"Would I dare call Wu Chou my colleague? He’s the one who wants to make the big bucks! If he says so, I wouldn’t presume!"

Just then, the real estate salesman Zhao Lei suddenly spoke up again, his tone sarcastic, "Oh? How come the great Wu Chou, who’s about to strike it rich, has come back so dejectedly?"

Xiao Yifei frowned slightly upon hearing Zhao Lei’s words. Why did this Zhao Lei seem so hostile towards Buddha, his tone filled with such resentment!

"Zhao Lei, stop talking about those things. I’ve come back today for a reason. Call Manager Chen over."

Buddha, instead of retaliating against Zhao Lei’s sneering remarks, seriously asked him to call for Manager Chen.

"Come back for a reason? What’s the matter? You’re not thinking of coming back to work, are you? Let me tell you—no chance!

Zhao Lei’s voice suddenly turned sharp towards Buddha: "You asked me for money back then; so what if I didn’t lend it to you? Because I didn’t lend you the money, you resigned in a huff? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are to act so high and mighty? What? Have you made money since you resigned?"

"It was precisely because I didn’t lend you the money that you can’t imagine what people at the company said about me. They called me miserly. Hah, why didn’t they lend you the money themselves! My money, my choice not to lend to you!"

Zhao Lei glared coldly at Buddha: "And you resigned? Who are you trying to scare? If you want to leave, then leave now! Don’t you dare think anyone would beg you to stay! Coming back here today so sheepishly, do you even have the face to return?"

Zhao Lei proceeded to unleash a torrent of abuse at Buddha.

"I truly apologize, but regarding that time I asked to borrow money, I genuinely was short on cash. I thought we had a good relationship, which is why I approached you, and as for how that got out, I have no idea..."

Unfazed by Zhao Lei’s mockery, Buddha earnestly explained to Zhao Lei, adding, "And I really did come here today for a reason. I’m here to buy a house, please could you get Manager Chen to come out..."

Having heard this, Xiao Yifei finally grasped the full context.

It turned out that Buddha used to work at this company, but after his daughter fell ill, he thought he had a good relationship with Zhao Lei and asked him for a loan. When Zhao Lei refused, Buddha had no choice but to leave and fight in underground matches at Dream Paradise.

Somehow, the fact that Buddha asked Zhao Lei for money had been leaked, prompting criticism about why Zhao Lei didn’t lend to Buddha, which caused Zhao Lei to bear a grudge against Buddha. Now that Zhao Lei had encountered Buddha again, it was natural for him to take his anger out on him.

Xiao Yifei frowned at Zhao Lei, feeling that Zhao Lei’s character was truly lacking.

"Buy a house? You must be joking! Since when can you afford to buy a house?"

Zhao Lei looked at Buddha with disdain, having just spoken, he seemed to remember something, and said with a sneer, "You know, I had almost forgotten—buying a house, isn’t it? Weren’t all your properties already sold off? I’m wondering if you’ve gotten involved with something unsavory! Good thing I didn’t lend you the money back then, otherwise, who knows if you ever would have paid it back!"

Zhao Lei’s words were extremely grating to hear, and knowing the truth—that Buddha did what he did for his daughter’s illness—Xiao Yifei was filled with dissatisfaction, especially since Zhao Lei made such presumptions without understanding the actual reasons.

"It’s not for me—it’s for my boss that I’m looking at houses..."

Buddha, after hearing what Zhao Lei said, opened his mouth as if to say something but ended up sighing and said, "Never mind, I’ll just go directly to Manager Chen."

After speaking, Buddha turned to head to the office looking for the so-called Manager Chen. It was at this moment that Zhao Lei, looking much like a mad dog, also turned his bite towards Xiao Yifei.

His eyes scanned over Xiao Yifei, who was standing behind Buddha, and then he smirked.
