"What are you laughing at?" Su Ming felt this was a serious question, yet the lady boss laughed.

"I'm a shareholder at the gym and don't directly interact with customers, so others have no chance." The lady boss explained with a smile.

"Well, that's good, that's good." Su Ming sighed in relief.

"Do you really have so little confidence in yourself?" The lady boss retorted.

"It's not about my lack of confidence; it's that you're too beautiful and too attractive, which makes me afraid." Su Ming said earnestly.

"Nonsense." The lady boss said coyly.

Su Ming thought the lady boss wasn't short of money and didn't need to work so hard, so he said: "Why don't you stop working? You aren't short of money, plus Mingchang Company can also earn money and give you dividends, so you don't have to be so tired?"

"Even though I hold shares, I don't want the money from Mingchang Company; I'll give my share to you." The lady boss said generously.

"My money is your money, there's no need to separate them." Su Ming said seriously.

"Although you say that, I'm not the same as before. I used to just want to be a good wife and mother, but what I got was betrayal. Now, I want to have my own career." The lady boss said.

Yet Su Ming still didn't want her to be too tired, and said: "You really don't need to wear yourself out like that, do you?"

"It won't be tiring; don't worry, I know what I'm doing." The lady boss insisted on her own thoughts.

"Alright then, since you've decided, go ahead." Su Ming stopped trying to persuade her.

"That's right, bye."

"Bye."

The lady boss was currently at the Longcheng Mall.

This mall is on a pedestrian street, covering over three thousand square feet.

Over twenty years ago, when e-commerce wasn't very developed yet, this place was bustling, crowded, similar to today's Fat Eastern, practically bursting at the seams.

But with the rise of e-commerce, brick-and-mortar malls faced massive challenges, gradually turning from crowded to deserted.

Till today, the mall owner could no longer manage and had posted a large rental sign outside.

After three years of the pandemic, the world's structure changed drastically, the global economy is declining.

You could say people all over the world are finding it hard to make money.

It's even harder to earn in the country, though the rental ads had been posted for over half a year, no one came to rent.

The lady boss took out her phone and dialed the number on the ad directly.

A slightly sharp voice came from the other end: "What do you want?"

After hearing this voice, the lady boss felt a bit uncomfortable but still said: "I want to rent Longcheng Mall."

As soon as the person heard this, they became excited and their tone became polite: "Great, where are you? I'll have someone bring you to my office to discuss."

"I'm at the spot where you advertised." The lady boss replied.

"Just stay still there, I'll have someone come take you to the office." The other party said.

"Alright." The lady boss said, then hung up the phone and waited quietly.

In less than five minutes, a fierce-looking, muscular man came over and asked: "Miss, are you the one wanting to rent Longcheng Mall?"

"Yes." The lady boss felt a bit uncomfortable upon seeing him but still nodded.

The man's eyes were full of desire because he'd never seen someone so beautiful and so sexy.

Though the lady boss wore a small suit, trying hard to hide her large chest and big hips.

But those parts of her were so big, it was impossible to conceal them, it even felt as if the clothes would burst.

"Please follow me then." The muscular man said and led the way in front.

The lady boss felt very bad about this muscular man, even sensing a tinge of danger.

She thought for a moment and sent a message to Su Ming: "I'm renting a space at Longcheng Mall, but it feels a bit dangerous, could you come over?"

As soon as Su Ming received the message, he replied instantly: "I'll drive over right away."

After replying, he drove straight to Longcheng Mall.

After sending the message, the lady boss finally felt assured, following the muscular man to an office on the third floor.

The office was messy and there was a strong smell of smoke.

The boss was bald, with eyes like lanterns and a thumb-thick gold chain around his neck.

His eyes lit up when he saw the lady boss.

Having been with countless women, he'd never been with someone so beautiful, nor someone with such large chest and hips.

His eyes were full of desire and he said: "Miss, please sit down."

The lady boss sat down and the bald man introduced himself: "I'm Chen Haifeng, owner of Longcheng Mall, what's your name?"

His voice had a metallic scraping sound, which was very unpleasant to hear, making one's bones tingle!

"I'm Shen Mengxue. How much are you planning to rent this mall for per year? I'll rent it for ten years." The lady boss said directly.

"This mall is over five thousand square feet, I won't charge you high rent, just one million a year, ten years would be ten million, and the money must be paid in one lump sum." Chen Haifeng said.

"Your mall is about to go bankrupt and you're still renting it for such a high price; I think fifty thousand a year is reasonable." The lady boss said.

"You think this is selling clothes, trying to cut the price in half?" The muscular man next to Chen Haifeng shouted.

"Buying and selling must be voluntary; I'm offering this much, if you think it's too little you can choose not to rent." The lady boss felt Chen Haifeng wasn't serious about discussing the rental, stood up and wanted to leave.

"Miss Shen, don't rush, let's just talk it over." Chen Haifeng quickly said.

The lady boss sat back down and said: "My offer is fifty thousand a year, ten years' cost is five hundred thousand; if you're okay with it, I'll rent, if not I'll leave."

Seeing her still firm in her stance, Chen Haifeng directly laid it out: "I can give you this mall for free, as long as you become my woman."

He said while reaching his lecherous hand towards the lady boss's plump chest.

The lady boss was startled, quickly dodged his hand and shouted: "Chen Haifeng, don't do anything rash, my husband will be here soon."

"Good that your husband is coming; I want to ruin his masculinity and have you all to myself, you beauty!" Chen Haifeng shouted arrogantly.

"Chen Haifeng, you're quite the boss, why do you act like a low-life thug?" Though shocked, the lady boss was experienced with the world; she could still speak wisely.

"You're right, my brother's a thug, you'll get plenty if you become his woman, but if you refuse, you're asking for trouble." The muscular man threatened loudly from the side.

"Being a thug allows you to act recklessly? Do you people have no respect for law and order?" The lady boss questioned loudly.
