"Vice President?" A wave of intense anger surged in Ou Yang Feifei’s heart, her eyes gradually turning cold. Does this man have any sense of shame? On what grounds? Based on that ambiguous resume of yours? Or that TV and radio university diploma you got from who knows where? Or because Uncle Mu owes you a favor?

Ou Yang Feifei was never one to easily compromise. Just now, she was merely flustered by his sudden appearance and wanted to play a delaying tactic, to trick him into leaving so she could call the police and have him arrested. However, even as a delaying tactic, she couldn’t compromise her principles endlessly. She was accustomed to taking responsibility for every word she said. Besides, the initial time when people tend to react impulsively had passed. After a conversation, this scoundrel named Wang Yong should be less likely to act irrationally.

"Mr. Wang, it’s fine to make reasonable demands. But you think it’s too much to try to extort unrealistic things with such means." Ou Yang Feifei took a deep breath, calming herself down. Her voice was filled with coldness and determination: "I accepted Chairman Mu’s offer to reform and manage the Mu Group, and I will take full responsibility for it. Based on your resume and past performance, you are not qualified for the position of Vice President. I will do my best to resolve the issues, but I hope you understand, Mr. Wang."

Hearing those words, Wang Yong’s eyes narrowed slightly. This woman had some character and principles. Especially that last sentence, which was a principle he had always adhered to. However, only he knew the cost of upholding principles and boundaries.

With a blank expression, he leaned back lazily on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked her up and down without any pretense, chuckling lightly: "Well said, I admire your principles and determination. But we Chinese have a saying: a wise man doesn’t suffer a loss in front of him. Aren’t you afraid that if you refuse my demands, I might do something irrational?" His voice, dark and dangerous, carried a hint of menace.

"Mr. Wang, I admit I am at a disadvantage now." There was a hint of fear in Ou Yang Feifei’s eyes, but she remained firm: "But I must take responsibility for what I have promised. Mr. Wang, we are not children. I hope you understand that not everyone will change their principles under threat. Besides, this is a society governed by law, and Huahai City is one of the safest places in the country. I also advise you not to do something that will make you regret it for the rest of your life because of a trivial matter."

"Regret?" Wang Yong, seeing her fear but determination, couldn’t help but chuckle: "Alright, you win. Old Mu may not have many skills, but he is good at reading people. I won’t hold it against you. You can go." Honestly, Wang Yong began to appreciate her abilities and character. But appreciation aside, he had no interest in keeping her around. This house was built with his mother’s lifelong efforts, and he didn’t want anyone to disturb it.

"Hold it? Go?" Ou Yang Feifei’s heart relaxed a bit, but her eyebrows furrowed, and she crossed her arms: "What do you mean, Mr. Wang? I think I should be the one saying this. Although I don’t own this house, according to the current rental management regulations, I have the right to use it during my lease period. Even the landlord can’t enter without my consent. You should be the one to leave, Mr. Wang. Also, considering your relationship with Uncle Mu, I won’t hold your irrational and impolite behavior against you this time."

Rent? Wang Yong’s face turned slightly cold. He thought to himself, Teacher Zhao, Teacher Zhao, I trusted you so much and even sent you money every year to take care of the house. That money far exceeds what you would get from renting it out. I’m afraid you rented out this house. Human greed is truly not to be underestimated.

Wang Yong’s feelings for this house were far beyond what money could measure. It held so many of his mother’s hardships, toil, joy, and hopes. More importantly, it was filled with the details of their life. Those memories were everywhere, permeating every corner of the house.

He resisted the urge to rush to Teacher Zhao’s door and confront her. He had already observed that the room’s layout hadn’t been changed, and some signs indicated that the house had indeed been unoccupied for several years. He judged that Ou Yang Feifei was likely the first tenant.

Although it was strange for a CEO to rent such an inexpensive small house, Wang Yong had no interest in investigating further. He just wanted to get her to leave immediately, resolve the current issue, and start his normal life. He also needed to deal with some other matters.

He had no interest in playing games with her any longer. Wang Yong flicked the ash into an empty milk carton and said coldly: "CEO, there’s one thing you might not know. I am the true owner of this house, and I have never authorized anyone to rent it out."

"How is that possible?" Ou Yang Feifei’s face changed, and she quickly took out a rental contract from her bag, pointing to it: "This house was rented by my secretary. I paid three months’ rent and one month’s deposit, a total of 8,000 yuan, and here is the receipt with her signature. The landlord’s name is Zhao Rong, a reputable old teacher. If this house isn’t hers, how could she rent it out?"

It was indeed Teacher Zhao who rented out the house. Wang Yong’s face darkened, and he said sternly: "CEO Ou Yang, I know Teacher Zhao, but I only entrusted her to take care of and maintain the house, strictly prohibiting her from renting it out. Your contract is likely invalid. Did your secretary check the property deed? Because it’s in my name."

Seeing Wang Yong’s confident assertion, Ou Yang Feifei felt a chill and believed him to some extent. She realized that this Wang Yong probably wasn’t following her, but rather she had mistakenly rented his house.

Despite her anger, she relaxed her guard a bit and said coldly: "Wait a moment, I’ll call my secretary to confirm the situation." She then picked up the phone and her luggage and went into the room to make the call.

After more than ten minutes, she came out with a face as cold as ice, her eyes filled with anger. She had changed out of the bathrobe and was now wearing a light yellow casual sportswear. She glared at Wang Yong, who had pretended to be a criminal, making her afraid to make any sudden moves. As a result, she had spent half the day in a bathrobe, allowing him to feast his eyes on her. Even worse, he had eaten all her milk and bread. Oh, that bread was enough for her to last two or three days. What kind of stomach did this man have? She had never been so humiliated in her life.

No matter the outcome of today’s incident, she would remember this grudge and make him pay it back with interest.

The casual sportswear completely covered her sexy appearance, but it gave her a different style, making her look like a healthy and active sportswoman. She had driven away her initial fear and sat down across from Lei Qing, crossing her arms: "Wang Yong, I’ve confirmed with my secretary. Indeed, the house was being taken care of by her aunt, and they didn’t plan to rent it out. However, she learned that the original owner hasn’t returned for five years. To satisfy me, she and her aunt, Teacher Zhao, decided to rent it out temporarily. Now, she will immediately ask Teacher Zhao to come and resolve the issue." Her tone was cold, showing her dissatisfaction with Wang Yong.

"Resolve the issue?" Wang Yong leaned back on the sofa, speaking calmly: "You and Teacher Zhao can sort out your disputes yourselves. Now, as the owner of the house, I ask you to leave immediately. I don’t like being disturbed by anyone." He didn’t care about her beauty or background.

"Wang Yong, what kind of attitude is this?" Ou Yang Feifei was infuriated by his casual dismissal and said angrily: "First, I paid to rent this house, and you have no right to make me leave. Second, I am the CEO, and you are my employee. I demand you speak more politely." She had never encountered someone like him in her life.

Ou Yang Feifei was always very confident, whether in her family background, appearance, knowledge, or abilities. She had met many men, some of whom felt inferior and treated her with reverence, while others, who were equally outstanding and confident, tried various ways to win her over. But she had never truly been moved by any of them. She had genuine confidence, self-respect, and the ability to achieve her dreams and life goals.

Although she kept people at a distance, she was undeniably charming, with countless admirers and even worshippers. Some men even tried to play mind games with her, but she could see through them easily.

With her expertise in psychology, she could see from Wang Yong’s eyes that he genuinely wanted her to leave. His indifferent and even disdainful attitude was like shooing away a bothersome fly.
