Tommy was the young master of Fortune Jewelry, yet he was being cornered by a woman. Tommy stared at the man in front of him with a displeased face and said, “Please let go of me.”
“D*mn it…” the man swore.
He suddenly raised his right hand and was going to slap Tommy in his face.
Just before his palm landed on Tommy’s face, Brucille grabbed his wrist from behind. Then, he squeezed the man’s hand with great force. The man was in so much pain that his veins popped out, and he immediately let go of Tommy.
Brucille could even hear the sound of him biting his teeth. Then, the man clenched his big fist and aimed a punch at Brucille.
Brucille didn’t give in. He gave the arm a slight twist, and it was dislocated with a ‘click’ sound.
The strong man in the white shirt looked fierce initially, but now his hand and wrist had been twisted into a 90-degree angle.
He cried out in pain, “Do you want to die?”
Brucille advised calmly, “Just because you’re as big as a bear, it doesn’t mean that everyone else has to succumb to you. Black bears are quite big, but they can only be locked up in the zoo. Do you want to be locked in there as well?”
This metaphor wasn’t very appropriate, but it did offend the bodyguards. The other bodyguards behind Brenda all stared at Brucille angrily..
Tommy didn’t want to stir up trouble in his store, so he said, “Madam Wong, how about I pick something else for you?”
Tommy looked at Brucille and was about to start introducing more products, but Brucille gave him a look to shut him up.
Brenda Wong was about 40 years old, and the well-applied makeup on her face made it obvious that she lived a very stylish life. Wearing a deep V-neck long dress, she stood as proud and tall as a young lady.
She opened her mouth that was as small as a cherry and asked, “Where did this wild kid come from? Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t actually know who you are, Madam Wong.” Brucille said.
“Humph, gutsy.” She commented.
After that, she looked at Tommy and said, “You are Tobias’s son, right? As the saying goes, like father, like son. Get me an Empire Green jade necklace within three days. I want to give it to my sister. If you don’t, I will make sure that Tobias loses his son and will never have grandchildren.”
Then, Brenda approached Brucille and said softly, “Well, young man, I like it when young people are tough. Nevertheless, you hurt my bodyguard. Shall we talk about the medical expenses?”
Brucille walked up to Brenda and whispered something in her ear.
All of a sudden, her facial expression changed drastically, as if dark clouds appeared suddenly on a sunny day.
“Really?” she questioned.
“Absolutely. You can call me after you’ve confirmed it.” Brucille said.
After checking with Brucille, Brenda quickly left the store with her bodyguards.
Seeing the woman leave, Tommy asked in confusion, “Brucille, what did you say to her? What made her leave so obediently?”
“This woman is ill. I told her to go to the hospital for a physical examination. If she found out about it too late, I’m afraid she won’t even have time to pick a good location for her own grave.” Brucille said.
Tommy just took it as Brucille trying to scare Brenda.
Moreover, as long as the price was reasonable, it wouldn’t be a problem getting a piece of Emperor Green jade, so he was not in a hurry.
“By the way, you said that you wanted to rent a house to start your business?” He asked.
Tommy was very curious about Brucille’s idea of starting a business. It stood out like a red flower in a green field, a crane standing among a flock of chickens…
A matrilocal son-in-law who had lived off his wife’s family for two years actually had the idea of starting a business. This was equivalent to the sun rising up from the south, which made slightly more sense than rising up from the west, but was also quite unusual.
Seeing his good friend so surprised, Brucille calmly responded, “What do you mean? You are the young master of Fortune Jewelry while Francis also inherited his family’s business. I too am a seven-feet tall man, why can’t I start a business?”
Unexpectedly, Tommy said teasingly, “Oh really, I’m pretty sure you can’t be more than 5 and a half feet tall.
Tommy drove Brucille to the well-known office building in the city, Lucky Plaza, and said, “I know the property manager here. I’ve just made a call to confirm that there’s a vacant space of 200 square feet. You can have a look.”
The two of them went up to the 26th floor. Hilda, the property manager, was already waiting there.
“Mr. Lu, you’re here.” she greeted.
“Let me introduce you to my good friend, Brucille Yip. Brucille, this is the property manager of Lucky Plaza, Hilda Yang.” Tommy said.
Hilda was the type of woman who had willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows and a mouth as small as a cherry. Anyone who looked at her would tremble at first glance. She was definitely qualified to participate in the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant.
The most important thing was that she always had the typical smile of a flight attendant. Brucille was a little worried that the muscles on her face might become too stiff, causing chewing difficulties in the future.
He said in a low voice, concerned, “Miss Yang, you don’t have to smile so widely. Tommy knows who I am, I am just a live-in son-in-law. I don’t want my in-laws to look down on me, so I intend to rent an office building and start a business.”
The moment he said that, Tommy coughed out the water that he had just drank.
“D*mn it, you’re the most shameless man I’ve ever met, so smug even when you’re living off a woman. Miss Yang, don’t listen to his nonsense. This guy is used to pretending to be weak to eat the tigers. Be careful, or you’ll fall into his trap.” Tommy said.
Hilda kept her smile and said politely, “Hello, Mr. Yip. I’m friends with Mr. Lu, so I can give you a discounted price. Usually, the price that we offer is 300 yuan per square feet, but I will give you a discounted price of 260 yuan per square feet.”
“It’s a deal!” Brucille said.
Tommy choked on his water and spat it out again.
“Are you out of your mind? Even at this price, the yearly rent is more than 600, 000 yuan. Are you crazy?” He said.
“No, I’m not, Miss Yang already said that it was a discounted price. What more can I do? Miss Yang, will you take 200 yuan per square feet?” Brucille defended.
Tommy turned to Hilda and said, “Hilda, this is my best friend. If I find out that you didn’t give him the best discount, I will make sure you suffer.”
Brucille did not expect this guy to be so good at threatening women. Hilda probably felt the aura of the young master of the Lu family, so she offered again, “Okay, 240 yuan per square feet, if I lower it any further, I’ll get fired by my boss.”
Tommy said bluntly, “Make it 220 yuan and it’s a deal!”
In the end, he won the battle for words. After walking out of the property management office, Brucille gave Tommy a thumbs up. “Who would’ve known that you could make this woman succumb to your power. I’m pretty sure that there’s a little something going on between the two of you.”
“I, Tommy Lu, am a rich, talented, and handsome man who is adored everywhere. My main concern is that the rent here is more than 500, 000 per year. What in the world are you planning to do?”
Brucille stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 26th floor and looked below at the whole city. He felt as if he could see all the mountains and hills in front of him. He took a deep breath and seemed to have smelled the scent of money.
The corners of his mouth lifted into the arc of a smile. Then, he put his arm around Tommy’s shoulder, and said, “Don’t worry, you will know very soon, keep it a secret for me…”
