After hearing Zhou Shuren’s rags-to-riches story, Fang Chenyi only had two words on his mind: ’Fucking awesome!’

So, this guy didn’t even know how he’d made it big. You could say that even after he became successful, he was still in a state of utter confusion.

He had originally wanted to ask why, if this guy was so awesome, he had sold his shares in the company. But a glance at Demo Did to the side made him swallow the words on the tip of his tongue.

After a moment’s thought, he spoke into the phone to Zhou Shuren again:

"Hey, Old Zhou. So, I’ve got this guy from the Middle East here, acting all high and mighty, saying I can’t buy our water."

Before Fang Chenyi could even finish, Zhou Shuren on the other end immediately cursed:

"Holy shit! Those hicks really have the gall to talk crap. Aren’t they afraid all that hot air will sprain their tongues? Alright, President Fang, give me your location. I’ll have two tons of water delivered to you right away. You can just pour it all into your bathtub and take a bath in it!"

Uh...

’This guy’s really one of a kind...’

Fang Chenyi felt completely floored by the suggestion. A bit speechless, he said, "Bathe in water that costs ten thousand US dollars a bottle? Even if it’s our own water, we can’t be that wasteful!"

"Tch, what’s the big deal? Didn’t I tell you before? This water just comes from the spring in my backyard. We’ve got as much as we could ever want! Forget bathing, we could have a water fight with it, and it wouldn’t be an issue!"

After a moment of speechlessness, Fang Chenyi waved a dismissive hand and said:

"No, no. That’s just a waste and serves no purpose. Here’s what we’ll do. The guy’s name is Demo Did. He’s the son of the third-largest crude oil supplier in the Middle East. You should have him on file. In a minute, I’m going to say something in English. It’ll be an order to cut off his water supply. Then, you guys notify his people that, on my command, his supply of water will be cut off from now on."

Fang Chenyi paused slightly before continuing, "After that, just wait for my signal. Don’t worry. Once his supply is cut, he’ll just find ways to buy it through other people."

"Tch, President Fang, what are you even saying? We’re one big family now. Your business is the company’s business. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this perfectly. Okay, uh, go ahead and speak your bird-talk. I’ll have my secretary talk to you!"

After he said that, the voice of the young man from before came on the line as expected.

At that, a wicked grin spread across Fang Chenyi’s lips. He deliberately turned to glance at Demo Did, who was watching him from the sofa, and raised his voice to say in English:

"From this moment on, cut off Demo Did’s supply privileges."

"OK, no poloblem, BOSS!"

With that, Fang Chenyi hung up the phone. At the same time, Demo Did’s amused voice piped up:

"Oh, Fang, since coming to Huaxia, I’ve learned another interesting skill: bullshitting! Cut off my supply privileges? You’re kidding. Never mind who you were on the phone with; even if it really was the AW Company, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to cut off my privileges. Do you have any idea how much influence I wield in the Middle East? If I say the word, do you know how many aristocratic clients AW would lose?"

However, his words had barely faded when, before Fang Chenyi could respond, the phone held by one of Demo Did’s bodyguards started ringing.

He waved the bodyguard over. Taking the phone, he saw it was a call from a good friend. He gave Fang Chenyi an apologetic shrug and answered the phone, saying:

"Hello, Pete. Guess where I am right now?"

The voice on the other end was loud, and as soon as he spoke, a plaintive reply came through the phone:

"Oh, Dimo, I really don’t care where you are right now. I just want to know what you did to piss off the people at AW. Why did they cut off my supply of fifty bottles of water?"

Demo Did froze. What was going on? Why would AW cut off his friend’s water supply?:

"Pete, did you not pay them in advance?"

"No, no, no. They’ve already refunded my money. And it’s not just me; Liao De and the others just got the same notice. Oh, right, the reason AW gave was because you offended their big boss, ’Fang’..."

"Boss Fang? Oh my god, I think I know why. Alright, I’ll give you all a satisfactory explanation." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Hanging up the phone, Demo Did looked directly at Fang Chenyi, who was still smiling. He was completely shocked. He never, ever would have thought that one phone call from this man could actually make the AW Company abandon his entire social circle. This was a huge problem! He knew that AW’s water was already an essential accessory for them to flex when they went out. If he was the reason all those guys couldn’t buy AW water, they would definitely blame him.

RING RING RING.

The phone he had just set down rang again. Picking it up, Demo Did’s expression immediately became respectful. The caller was none other than the leader of their social circle, ’Alaxila’, who was also a young prince of their country.

The moment the call connected, Alaxila’s furious voice erupted from the other end:

"FUCK! Demo Did, what the hell did you do?! Why the hell would you go and piss off the boss of AW! Now my order of AW Royal Water has been cut, and they specifically named you as the reason! What the hell are you doing?!"

Hearing the words "Royal Water," even Fang Chenyi, who had been calm and composed, was startled. He almost couldn’t stop himself from cursing in his head. ’Damn, Old Zhou has some serious guts, cutting off the Royal Water supply just for me! Holy shit, does he have to take it this far?!’

After Demo Did was thoroughly berated, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

This time, however, Demo Did had completely lost his earlier arrogance. He looked at Fang Chenyi with a complicated expression.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally clenched his jaw, stood up, placed his right hand over his chest, and bowed deeply to Fang Chenyi.

"Oh, Fang, I’d now like to borrow one of your profound Huaxian proverbs... the one about standing before a tall mountain and not recognizing it. Oh, right, I remember! Fang, ’It was I who had dog eyes and was blind!’ I never realized you were the real big shot! And to borrow another of your famous sayings... uh... ’You just let out a fart, and I’ll come out’~"

PS: More coming soon, everyone! So, what do you think, bros? Demo Did’s two famous sayings were pretty accurate, right?!
