Fortune Falls From Sky

In fact, Samuel didn’t have any information at the moment. He had no idea who the realtor was. Even if he found out the person’s name, it would be difficult to find his or her contact details, let alone asking the person out for a meeting.

“Ask him out. I’ll go with you and speak to him. The earlier the better,” Samuel said calmly.

“What a coincidence. I’m meeting him at the Quiet Teahouse at one in the afternoon. Is it convenient for you today?”

He nodded. “Sure.”

“Then, let’s meet at the teahouse at 12:30 PM. I’ve reserved a private room. You can tell them your name when you arrive.”

“Okay. See you, then.”

It was nearly eleven o’clock. Samuel didn’t take his time but headed towards the teahouse instead.

When he arrived near his destination, he found a KFC restaurant to settle his lunch and rest.

When the time was almost up, he arrived at the Quiet Teahouse.

As soon as he entered, a receptionist bowed and said, “Welcome. Do you have a reservation, sir?”

“The reservation is made by Tara Braun.” Samuel gave her name.

“It’s on the second floor, Serenity Room. Follow me.” The receptionist led him inside.

After entering through the door on the first floor, there was a small bridge with calm water flowing underneath. The environment was rather elegant. Samuel knew that the renovation cost was definitely not cheap.

On the second floor, the receptionist knocked on the door and smiled. “Sir, this is the room. Please enter.”

Samuel walked in and closed the door behind him.

There was a round table in the private room, and a woman was already sitting there. Samuel took a closer look. Her oval face was a little foxy and beautiful.

She wore a tight t-shirt that outlined her slender waist, and her skin looked so soft that it made one want to cherish her.

Suddenly, a piece of information appeared in his mind.

[Character: Tara Braun, 30 years old, owner of Fresh on Coleman Street.]

[Secret 1: During the year of the college entrance examination, she substituted her scores with a classmate of hers and managed to get into a famous university.]

[Secret 2: She likes men younger than her. She has provided for eight male university students.]

Samuel was already used to other people’s myriad secrets.

He smiled and greeted her. “Hi, Ms. Braun. I’m Samuel Walker.”

Tara sized him up.

His face was angular and full of vitality, looking young and suave as well.

Although he was the type of guy she liked, with her shrewd eyes, she could tell at a glance that his clothes shouldn’t exceed 60 dollars.

His attire was too shabby.

“Mr. Walker, I’m a shallow person, and I like to be straightforward. I often judge people by their looks. Pardon my bluntness, but I don’t have much confidence in you. May I know why you are so confident in discussing this matter?” Tara stared at him with a burning gaze.

Samuel smiled bitterly inside. Arielle was right. His young age and cheap clothes indeed made people look down on him.

This woman’s greeting was rude and impetuous, passing a very honest message: I don’t think you’re capable. If you don’t show some strength, you might as well leave.

Samuel was in need of money, so naturally, he wouldn’t back down at the last minute.

He wasn’t in a hurry to answer the question. He calmly poured a cup of tea and took a sip before saying, “I have dirt on him.”

“What dirt?” Tara asked hurriedly.

He glanced at her and said, “If too many people know about it, things will backfire.”

Suspecting he was just a liar, she retorted, “Then, how do I know if what you say is true or false!”

“I know your dirt too.” He smiled playfully.

“My dirt? What dirt do I have!” She was amused. “If you can tell me one, I’ll believe you.”

“I can tell you something from a long time ago. Twelve years ago, your college entrance examination scores were actually not ideal.” He stopped there, implying something else.

Tara narrowed her eyes and raised her voice. “What do you mean?”

“Ms. Braun, I guarantee that I don’t have any ill intentions. I just want to help you with the negotiation,” he said plainly.

This fellow is too calm!

At this moment, she had no choice but to reevaluate him.

Although he’s young and dressed shabbily, he has a unique bearing. His calm and collected manner is even more mature than some old businessmen.

Who exactly is he?

She heaved a long sigh and said, “I’ll leave you in charge of the negotiation later.”

“Leave it to me,” said Samuel.

Time ticked by.

Around half-past one, the waiter led a middle-aged man into the private room.

The moment the middle-aged man entered, he said in a stiff tone, “Ms. Braun, this is the last time I’m speaking to you. Don’t look for me again next time. I’m really busy.”

Tara wasn’t mindful. She smiled and said, “How would I dare to waste your time, Mr. Robbins? This will be our last meeting.”

“So, what do you have for me this time, Ms. Braun?” Geoffrey sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

At this moment, a piece of information appeared in Samuel’s mind.

[Character: Geoffrey Robbins, 46 years old, owner of Idyllic Real Estate.]

[Secret 1: In order to develop the real estate project last year, he found out that the relevant leaders liked auspicious antiques. However, high-grade antiques were expensive, so he purchased replicas and sent them over.]

[Secret 2: He buys liquor of small brands frequently, puts them in nice-looking bottles, and sells them for a higher price.]

[Secret 3: The reason for not renewing the rental for Fresh is that he wants to rent the space to a certain leader’s son-in-law, in exchange for the right to develop a piece of new land in the north of the city. However, the leader has already decided to let his son-in-law develop the land that he wants to develop.]

[Secret 4: Secretly dealt with two murder cases.]

After understanding these secrets, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Business owners truly had endless methods to get rich.

“Let me introduce you. This is Samuel Walker. This time, Mr. Walker will speak to you, Mr. Robbins.” Tara was out of moves, so she let Samuel handle it.

Geoffrey’s gaze landed on him.

He looks very young, so young that even if he has a calm demeanor, I can still feel his immaturity. His attire is shabby and laughable. What can such a person even talk about?

In an instant, Geoffrey felt that he had been played.

Bang!

He slammed the teacup onto the table and yelled angrily, “What a waste of time! I’m leaving now!”

He stood up and stormed toward the door.

Tara’s heart skipped a beat. She looked anxiously at Samuel, only to see him drinking his tea slowly.

Seeing that Geoffrey was about to close the door, Samuel finally said, “Mr. Robbins, don’t be so anxious. Since I want to talk to you, you have to talk to me nicely. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get the land in the northern development zone.”

About to leave, Geoffrey suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Samuel. The aura of someone who had been in power for a long time burst forth, and the powerful pressure made the atmosphere in the room somewhat solemn.

“Kid, what do you mean?” Geoffrey asked in a low voice.

“The reason why you refused to rent the store to Fresh isn’t that you want to remodel the internal structure, but that you want to rent it to Grant Browning. With this favor, you can attain the land in the northern development zone. Am I right, Mr. Robbins?” Samuel asked with a smile.

Geoffrey hesitated for a moment before returning to his seat. He looked at Samuel with a dangerous gaze.
