There's another point, which is the property manager has long summarized a principle he considers a truth.

Typically, anyone who is more capable wouldn't bother with trivial matters like this. For them, it's not worth such fuss.

So, the ones who care about this sort of thing and have a bit of a reason to are mostly those who are stuck in mediocrity yet think too highly of themselves.

For these kinds of people, a little kindness will suffice; it's unnecessary to be overly courteous with them.

From the moment Chu Ge mentioned the name "Zhang Jinghui," the manager had already calculated that at most he'd offer a thousand yuan to settle the matter. After all, these two girls just suffered a few blows, a thousand yuan should be enough.

If this kid doesn't know better and continues to cause trouble, he will just watch coldly to see what kind of antics this kid can pull off.

If it escalates to the point of tearing faces, he can always make a few calls to find some people; then it would be seen who really can't afford to pay the consequences.

However, if he can avoid calling people, he'd prefer not to, as that would be troublesome for him, appearing inefficient and like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"Do you think... where I work, high or low, is related to this matter?"

Unfortunately, while he was calculating for Chu Ge to reveal his identity, Chu Ge, with a face full of sarcasm, snorted through his nose, "I'll say it one last time, I'm only giving you five minutes, figure it out yourself."

Having said that, Chu Ge turned around, patting Ye Li and Li Nan on their shoulders, and sat grandly with these two contrasting beauties on the sofa in the property office.

After being seated, Chu Ge leisurely crossed his legs, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, and Li Nan immediately took out a lighter, lighting the cigarette in Chu Ge's mouth with a click.

Looking at Chu Ge's arrogant posture, the manager felt a surge of disgust, furrowed his brows, and quietly muttered to himself, "Damn, refusing a kind gesture."

In his thinking, since Chu Ge is so ignorant, he must have some capability, but he couldn't care less; let him do as he pleases. He truly didn't believe that after those five minutes, this kid could pull off anything impressive.

"Ha! That's an interesting remark, huh? Try saying it again? Who encouraged your bad habits?"

Chu Ge's hearing was exceedingly sharp; even though the manager muttered softly, he heard it clearly, squinting his eyes slightly and giving the manager a cold smile.

In fact, Chu Ge not only had good hearing but also had a clear understanding of the situation. Just judging by the property's attitude was enough to prove their connection with those hauling workers.

There's no doubt those haulers are in cahoots with the property folks, making money while the property takes a cut.

While the haulers might earn similar amounts compared to freelance workers outside, the key point is they have the property's backing. With such monopoly, their business naturally thrives. Even if they run out of manpower, the owners can't hire outsiders, they have to wait for them to finish their work and earn that money with swagger.

Moreover, this isn't really a big deal; anyone who can buy a house and afford renovations here won't be troubled by this extra cash. Even if they let this crew handle all hauling tasks, it would definitely cost more, but not excessively so.

Chu Ge's anger certainly wasn't over this trivial expense, the crux was Ye Li and Li Nan being hit, which was something he couldn't tolerate.

His feelings towards Ye Li were self-explanatory, and even if this incident involved only Li Nan today, he wouldn't stand by idly.

After the recent incidents, his impression of Li Nan had improved significantly. Plus, these two girls got hit because of him, so there was no way he wouldn't step in.

As for the so-called "five minutes," it was merely a tactic since he knew they definitely wouldn't agree, thus a casual challenge.

Getting those haulers to pay a few hundred and want to wrap things up?

If this had happened before today, and if the property staff had shown a better attitude, Chu Ge might have let it slide.

But today these people were really unlucky, Chu Ge, who had tried to keep a low profile yet got exposed by Mu Lingshan on TV, was in a foul mood. Since both sides couldn't communicate properly, to hell with them! This is really too much for them!

"Screw you. Really refusing a kind gesture!"

Upon hearing Chu Ge speak to their manager like that, a short young man cursed loudly and immediately rushed forward, while the slightly taller one slammed the table with a loud "bang" and shouted, "Security!"

Chu Ge remained seated on the sofa motionless, his lips curled into a mocking smile, watching the short one charge forward as if watching a monkey show.

The short one, seeing Chu Ge's calm gaze, felt a bit nervous, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately swung his fist heavily toward Chu Ge's head. However, considering his skill, how could he possibly gain the upper hand against Chu Ge?

"Aren't you the ones pushing too far?" Chu Ge smirked coldly, casually raised his right hand, extending his fingers flatly, and reached for the incoming fist.

When the two men's right hands made contact, a "bam" echoed in the air, and Chu Ge's fingers suddenly clasped together. Soon, the sound of bones breaking resonated in everyone's ears with a "crack," while the short man's features twisted in an instant.

The "crack" sound lasted for a few seconds, then Chu Ge suddenly pulled the hand towards himself, kicked out with his right foot, and struck the short young man's chest hard, simultaneously releasing his right hand.

The short young man's body, over a hundred pounds, lifted a few centimeters off the ground and flew backward, knocking over two chairs, finally landing on top of the tall young man, knocking him to the ground as well.

It wasn't until then that the short young man screamed in pain, "My hand! My hand! Ah!"

The security room was right across from the property office, and when the tall young man called for help, the door "banged" open, and five tall and strong security guards filed in.

"Don't fight, don't fight! Don't use your hands!" Seeing these intimidating security guards rushing over, Ye Li quickly shouted.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her voice, and in just over ten seconds, the security guards were all groaning and lying on the ground, clutching different parts of their bodies.

Ye Li sighed again; last time it was Miao Yusong like this, and now these security guards are the same. Why do these people never listen to advice?

Li Nan's eyes were shining with countless little stars. Chu Ge, in a flash, put down seven people, yet he remained sitting steadily on the sofa, never moved from his spot? This... was a bit too fierce?

"Brother Chu, you're really something. I wanted to find someone to spar with, but you took them all down. Couldn't you leave one for me?"

Hearing Li Nan say this, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh a little, shrugged, "Next time, tell me earlier. I didn't expect them to be so weak."

Li Nan giggled, showing rare womanly charm, "It's not that they're weak, it's clearly Brother Chu, you're just too good at fighting."

Hearing this, Ye Li felt somewhat uncomfortable. Li Nan, seriously, how could she be so blatant in flirting with Chu Ge right in front of her?

But thinking about it, she wasn't anyone special to Chu Ge either, so she could only secretly sigh again.

Chu Ge definitely didn't expect Ye Li to have such thoughts, he gave a slight smile to Li Nan and leisurely took a drag of his cigarette, then called out to the stunned director.

"Now, tell me, which of us is really shameless?"

The director's expression changed several times but he didn't make a sound, furrowing his brows and looking at Chu Ge rather stubbornly.

Chu Ge stretched out his right hand, pointed at the director with his index finger, then pointed that finger to the ground, "Kneel down, so we can have a good talk."

"What... did you say?"

The property director's pupils constricted suddenly. At first, he was indeed frightened by Chu Ge's incredible skills, but hearing such a demand from Chu Ge, his face immediately began to twitch violently, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Kid, don't you think you're acting too wild... ow!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something flashing in front of his eyes, and then a burning heat in his mouth. He embarrassingly opened his mouth to spit it out, and it was actually the cigarette butt that Chu Ge was smoking, which was almost burnt to the end.

"You sure talk a lot, huh? I'll give you ten seconds to consider, whether to kneel or not, it's up to you."

Chu Ge flicked the cigarette butt away, said impatiently, then casually picked up a phone and started to fiddle with it, not sure whose it was. Anyway, it flew onto the sofa during the fight, landing just beside him.

He turned to look at Li Nan, "Do you think I can throw this thing into his mouth?"

Li Nan imagined the scene of the director with a phone in his mouth, his mouth completely stretched open, and burst into laughter, "I bet you can't. Why don't you try it, Brother Chu?"

Chu Ge scratched his head, feeling a bit frustrated, "No confidence in me? Fine, let's try. By the way, are the ten seconds up yet?"

"Thud"

Hearing Chu Ge say such things, the director immediately broke out in another cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and before Chu Ge could turn his gaze toward him, he kneeled down with a thud.

In fact, he really didn't want to kneel, but just the thought of Chu Ge using his mouth as a target, throwing that phone over like a dart, made his scalp tingle.

Although, as long as he kept his mouth shut, that phone wouldn't get wedged in his mouth, but who could guarantee that this guy wouldn't use it to knock out his teeth? Or even... pull off something even more outrageous?

Since he couldn't do anything to the opponent now, he could only follow the spirit of good guys don't suffer immediate losses under a low roof and kneel.

However, in his heart, he was fiercely thinking, "Kid, don't be happy now, you are dead, absolutely dead!"
