Chapter 106: A laughable temporary increase

Wen Rui's series of questions caught Gu Changfeng and his wife off guard. Yan Ruoyan was furious and shouted, "How dare you!" The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became solemn. The two cultivators, one in the Return to Void Stage and the other in the Nascent Soul Stage, released powerful mental pressure towards the fake Wen Rui.

"I was just asking casually, why are you so anxious?"

The fake Wen Rui is a robot, how can he read the air? Even if the real Wen Rui was here, he wouldn't be scared.

Wen Rui takes a trip to hell once a week. He has experienced the worst end of the creatures in this world. If he offends a higher being, the worst fate is just going to hell. His psychological preparation is too strong, surpassing the small realm of ignorance and fearlessness, and reaching the great fearlessness of knowing there is a tiger in the mountain but being curious to see whether it is male or female.

Even if the supreme immortals and Buddhas such as Taishang Laojun, Tathagata Buddha, and Hongjun Laozu released their spiritual pressure on him, he would not feel anything and would just treat it as a gentle breeze.

"How can people be frightened of death if they do not fear it?" This is a truth personally verified by Lao Tzu. Not afraid of going to hell after death, and daring to fight with Buddha, this is Wen Rui's current distorted psychological state, which can be regarded as a mental barrier buff given by the system.

"If you have nothing to hide, why should you be afraid of breach of contract?"

Fake Wen Rui didn't indulge them at all: "If you sign the contract with me with the intention of breaking the contract, I will definitely have to pay compensation if I sign with you. I might as well find someone else. Sign if you want or get out if you don't!"

This attitude clearly shows that he has determined that there is a problem between the couple, but he turns against them faster than turning the pages of a book. This fully demonstrates the ugly face of an unscrupulous businessman who treats people differently from others. When there is profit to be made, he treats them like a grandson, but when there is no profit, he turns against them and treats them as his uncle.

"You're going too far, I'll kill you..." "Yan'er, don't be impulsive!"

Yan Ruoyan was so angry that she was about to attack, but was stopped by Gu Changfeng.

"Look how powerful you bitch are!"

Fake Wen Rui even got angry and stretched his head forward: "Come on, come on, I'll lend you my head to kick like a ball, and reward me well! If you can't kill me with your kick, I'll blackmail you to death!"

Gu Changfeng held Yan Ruoyan's waist and pulled away his frantic wife who was jumping and kicking at Wen Rui with her long and beautiful legs, and whispered in her ear: "Yan'er, don't be fooled by him. We have been trapped. If we don't sign this agreement and try to kill him, aren't you afraid that he will spread the news that we have something wrong and dare not sign the contract?"

Gu Changfeng was smart enough and he figured out the trap set by Wen Rui.

Previously, he and Wen Rui finalized their cooperation intention in front of the disciples of the four major sects. Word has spread in the immortal cultivation world that they and Wen Rui are about to reach an image endorsement cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce.

Even many female monks are eagerly waiting for Master Gu's carefully selected works to be put on the shelves.

In the end, the Chamber of Commerce signed the contract with other model couples. Such a change would definitely cause suspicion. Wen Rui would then only need to tell the truth and say that the couple thought the breach of contract clause was too harsh and refused it. Then, the breach of contract clause would be made public. Without deliberate guidance, many rumors that were unfavorable to them would naturally arise.

When faced with rumors, the innocent will naturally be innocent, but the key is that they are not innocent, and Wen Rui really guessed everything. Once someone digs deeper, the good reputation they have built for many years will definitely not be maintained.

Don't be too proud. Now the two of them are living like other people's dreams, with a hot fire, flowers and countless fans. But it's lonely at the top, and there are many powerful competitors who are jealous of them and hope that their house will collapse.

Once these two top stars fall from grace, won’t all the wealth and prosperity fall on the heads of their competitors?
By then, I don't know how many people will take advantage of the situation, beat them up, dig up their dark history, criticize them and take the opportunity to snatch away the resources that the sect has poured into them.

Even if they don't sign this contract, there's no way they'll be able to get away with it. If this scene is captured by some magical weapon that can record audio and video, if they can't kill Wen Rui on the spot to silence him, he'll use the information to threaten them, and they can really be blackmailed for a huge sum of money!
It's so insidious, so mean, and so treacherous! With Gu Changfeng's reminder, Yan Ruoyan also came to her senses. Looking at Wen Rui's fearless and tired look, she felt a chill in her heart.

No one can succeed easily. For a mortal to become a wealthy man in the world of immortal cultivation, he must have his own unique ways. Yan Ruoyan then realized that she had underestimated the mortal in front of her, and was led into a trap by him step by step.

Not to mention Yan Ruoyan, even Gu Changfeng wanted to kill Wen Rui to silence him, but the scene of him taking off his head and playing with it just now was really impressive. He looked very difficult to kill, and there was no guarantee that he could kill him with one blow.

If you fail to kill the snake, you will only end up harming yourself. Things have come to this point and there is nothing you can do.

In just a few breaths, the couple's minds raced, processing hundreds of GB of information in their brains, almost burning out their CPUs. But no matter how hard they thought, they could not think of a way out of the impasse, and they had no choice but to sign the contract.

Gu Changfeng suddenly smiled and said, "Boss Wen, we are just questioning you casually. My wife was just joking with you. We are all hundreds of years old. We should be able to take a joke, right?"

As she spoke, she nudged Yan Ruoyan with her elbow. The latter said with a shy look in her eyes, "In terms of age, I should call you brother. Please don't hold it against me for my rude behavior."

Fake Wenrui raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, "Are you really not hiding anything from me?"

"Boss Wen is too suspicious. My husband and I have a great reputation in the world of immortal cultivation..."

"How is that possible? Brother Wen is overthinking."

"Don't blame me, Mr. Gu and Madam. I am a businessman and I dare not do business that will lose money."

Fake Wen Rui also laughed and said, "Whether you hide it from me or not, I can only feel at ease if there is a penalty clause for breach of contract in the agreement."

"Yes, yes!"/"Yes, yes!" The husband and wife followed suit.

Wen Rui had a rough idea as to why their attitude changed. He thought that they might have the same idea as the elders of the four major sects. They were thinking that even if they breached the contract, they would just hide inside the sect and pretend to be dead. Wen Rui would not dare to come to collect the debt.

Since they had already breached the contract at that time, it meant that the house had collapsed long ago, and they had no need to worry about Wen Rui's threats of inciting public opinion.

"Since you two have no objection to the agreement, let's sign it?" Fake Wenrui didn't care about their little thoughts and pushed the jade slip over.

"Wait!" Gu Changfeng suddenly said, "I have another condition. If Boss Wen agrees, we can sign the contract on the spot. If he doesn't agree, we are not afraid of any breach of contract clauses."

Fake Wenrui was stunned, and asked solemnly: "What are the conditions?"

Gu Changfeng seemed to have regained the initiative. He looked around with a slightly raised mouth, waved his hand and said, "In addition to the 10 million yuan endorsement fee per person per year, I also want a signing fee! I think this flying boat is very good. If Boss Wen is willing to give it to me, the signing fee will be waived."

Fake Wen Rui was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud towards the sky, laughing so happily, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
