C18 There's a Problem with the Painting
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
On the 18th floor of the Dihao Entertainment, Cao Sheng's office.
Chen Kai was leisurely sitting in the boss's chair with his legs crossed on the table. He was eating a small piece of melon that the pretty lady beside him had brought to his mouth.
In a battle of hundreds of people, Chen Kai did not feel tired. Instead, he felt comfortable all over.
The changes brought by the ganoderma had finally disappeared.
In front of him stood a row of young girls.
Each of them held a snack in their hands, waiting for Chen Kai to pamper them.
They hid in a corner to witness the entire process. From the initial disdain and teasing, until now, their beautiful eyes were filled with admiration and ambiguity.
If they weren't afraid that Chen Kai would dislike them, they would have pounced on them long ago.
Chen Kai did not even look at them. He focused his attention on the portrait on the wall.
The portrait depicted the King of the Forest. It was a lifelike tiger. Its eyes were as sharp as blades. It seemed as if it would rush out of the portrait at any moment.
Chen Kai found that those ferocious eyes were actually scarlet.
This was killing intent.
At this time, Cao Sheng walked in with big strides from the door. His face was covered in sweat.
"Mr Chen, that bastard Yang Wei escaped through the back door while we were sparring downstairs."
If it wasn't for Yang Wei, he wouldn't have provoked Chen Kai and let the whole chamber of commerce be destroyed.
He didn't dare to go against Chen Kai, so he could only blame it on Yang Wei.
"It's fine. I've already beaten him."
Chen Kai knew that Yang Wei would soon have a splitting headache and die in pain.
It would be torture for him to die with his survival instinct.
Cao Sheng quickly agreed and asked his brothers who were searching for Yang Wei to come back.
"Mr Chen is really kind. If it was anyone else."
Chen Kai spat out a melon seed. "Cut the crap. Are you ready for the money? Give it back to me."
"It's ready." Cao Sheng nodded and ran out the door.
After a while, he came in with a stack of documents.
"Mr Chen, this is the check for three million yuan from the Huaya Hotel. The bill will be paid in one go."
Chen Kai raised his eyebrows. "Isn't it one million yuan?"
"The extra two million is a thank you fee. We all feel that the service of the hotel is very good. It is worth a higher price."
Chen Kai nodded slightly.
"This is the intention of the Howling Tiger Merchant Guild and Huaya Hotel to cooperate."
Cao Jian placed the documents in front of Chen Kai one by one.
"What do you mean by this?" Chen Kai slowly flipped through the documents.
"We did something wrong," Chen Kai said. "We wanted to deepen our relationship with the Huaya Hotel."
"Mr Chen, don't worry. I promise I will follow the rules and won't trouble you again."
"And I will pay for this cooperation in advance."
As he spoke, He handed over a check. "Here's ten million. The Howling Tiger Merchant Guild sincerely hopes to form a partnership with the Huaya Hotel."
Chen Kai was skeptical. Someone who could become the big boss of the Howling Tiger Merchant Guild had given up on revenge so easily. However, since the other party had already paid in advance, he had nothing to worry about.
He put away the stack of documents. "I'm just a messenger. Whether this matter will succeed or not will depend on my mother-in-law's decision."
"Of course." Cao Jian smiled when he saw Chen Kai accept the document.
Then, he handed over a mobile phone box.
This was a Motorola phone that cost nearly a million yuan that he had specially entrusted to the designer of the US a few months ago.
In order to highlight his noble identity, he had even used 24K and white diamond around the phone.
Today, the phone had just arrived. Before he could open it, he ran into Chen Kai.
Just now, when he saw Chen Kai was still using the old phone, he had an idea.
Chen Kai casually opened it, "A phone?"
"I already have a phone. It's useless to give it to me."
He was just home-son-in-law from the Liu Family. His job was basically cleaning the house. He rarely needed to use a phone.
"Mr Chen, if you don't accept it, we won't feel safe."
Cao Sheng was so scared that his legs went soft. "Is it because we did something wrong? You haven't forgiven us."
"Please tell us that we must correct our mistakes."
Chen Kai could not help but think highly of Cao Sheng.
Chen Kai had defeated the entire Howling Tiger Merchant Guild. Cao Sheng didn't want to take revenge on him, but to befriend him. His temperament was stronger than many people.
It seemed like it was not a coincidence that this guy was able to achieve what he had today.
"Alright. Since you have already said so, I will not decline."
Chen Kai put the phone in his pocket casually.
"I won't take advantage of you for nothing."
Chen Kai pointed at the picture. "This tiger has too much killing intent. You better burn this painting as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be injured very soon. If you are more serious, you will be in danger."
The painting was facing Cao Sheng's chair. The tiger opened its big mouth towards Cao Sheng.
Being suppressed by the tiger's flames for a long time, Cao Sheng's essence energy would slowly disperse. It would have a huge impact on his luck.
Fortunately, Cao Sheng didn't ask anyone to clean the painting. Some dust had fallen off the painting, blocking some of the evil aura. Otherwise, before Chen Kai could arrive, Cao Sheng would have died a long time ago due to bad luck.
"My life is in danger?"
Cao Sheng looked at Chen Kai. "Mr Chen," he said, "I bought this painting from a calligraphy shop. I think it's lively and powerful. I bought it for 50,000 yuan and hung it in the office."
"It should be fine."
Cao Sheng had done many things that no one should know about. He did not believe in Feng Shui at all.
Besides, it was just a simple painting. The other bosses who came to the office to discuss business had praised it many times. What could be wrong with it?
Cao Sheng did not take Chen Kai's reminder seriously. He even thought that Chen Kai was mocking him for his failure today.
If he was not afraid of Chen Kai's strength, he would have slapped the table and told Chen Kai to get out.
Chen Kai said indifferently, "You'd better burn it."
Cao Jian hurriedly nodded. "Thank you for Mr Chen's reminder. I will burn it when I have time."
Chen Kai knew Cao Sheng did not take his words to heart.
He did not continue to persuade him. Instead, he took a pen and wrote on the paper. In a short while, he drew a talisman to break the evil.
"Put it on your body. It can help you block some bad luck."
With that, Chen Kai left the office.
Cao Sheng glanced at the talisman. He didn't think much of it. He threw it into the rubbish bin.
He was very impressed with Chen Kai's martial arts skills.
But this Feng Shui technique was a lie to begin with.
A few minutes later, Cao Sheng and a few of his officers were ready to go to the Jianghai Central Hospital for treatment.
When they were taking the elevator, the elevator suddenly went out of control and fell from the 16th floor to the 3rd floor.
Cao Sheng was scared out of his wits.
Half an hour later, the maintenance staff arrived. The moment he stepped out of the elevator, his feet slipped and he crashed into the wall. A bump appeared on his head.
He went downstairs with difficulty. A flower pot on the ground floor hit him. It was only a few centimeters away from his head.
He avoided this accident, but the fragments of the flowerpot still bounced into his calf, and his trousers were stained red with blood.
Cao Sheng, who was injured, was about to get into the car, but the brake of the driver's car was broken. The car swerved and crashed toward him.
Cao Sheng narrowly avoided the car. He thought of Chen Kai's words when he was surprised.
Was what Chen Kai said true?
In the next second, Cao Sheng rushed to the office and took out all the things in the rubbish bin to look for a talisman.
"It's a life-saving talisman."
