159 seven times, eight times, or nine times

be great; I'm more than happy for it," Xia Tian casually replied.Ma Ting was taken aback and then looked at Xia Tian with some anger: "What do you mean Are you deliberately trying to harm me""I don't...Fragrance Protection Expert in the City Chapter 159: Seven Times, Eight Times, or Nine Times

"Who is Sun Xinxin" A voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.

The crowd turned to look, finding a man and a woman standing at the flower shop's entrance. Both were in their thirties; the man was neatly groomed while the woman had an average appearance but a rather ample figure.

"I'm Sun Xinxin," she replied, "what can I do for you"

The man seemed momentarily stunned upon seeing Sun Xinxin, clearly impressed by her beauty. As for the woman, she too was somewhat dazed and couldn't help but show a hint of envy—Sun Xinxin's beauty was simply too much to handle.

"Ms. Sun Xinxin," the woman began, "we are from the Property Management Department of Jianghai University’s後勤服務集團, this is our Zhang Section Chief." She continued, "Your lease for this flower shop will expire next month and we don't plan on renewing it with you. We've come to inform you that you'll need to prepare to move out."

Sun Xinxin was taken aback; the news came completely unexpected, leaving her utterly bewildered for half a minute before she could react, asking perplexedly, "What's going on The contract clearly states that under equal conditions, I have the right of first refusal to renew my lease."

"Ms. Sun Xinxin," the woman replied coldly, "you mentioned 'equal conditions.' When we leased this shop to you for 10,000 a year back then, now there's someone willing to pay 5,000 a month for it. Can you match that price"

"What" Before Sun Xinxin could respond, Fang Xiaoru exclaimed in shock, "Are you kidding 5,000 per month is 60,000 a year! This shop isn't even twenty square meters; it’s too expensive!"

The woman snorted and said, "If the price is too high for your liking, then don't talk about having any priority rights. According to the contract, the lease will expire on August 14th, giving you half a month to find new premises."

"Miss Sun, we're here today just to inform you. Here's my business card; if you’re willing to pay 5000 yuan per month, we will still prioritize renting to you as stipulated in the contract." That Mr. Zhang finally spoke up and handed Sun Xinxin a business card, his gaze unwilling to leave her.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, thank you," Sun Xinxin accepted the card.

"Well then, we'll take our leave now." That Mr. Zhang finally tore his eyes away; he still had some sense of propriety and knew it was impolite to stare at a woman for so long.

One couldn't help but think how fortunate this man was—Summer wanted to hit him because his wife shouldn’t be stared at by others like that.

After the couple left, Fang Xiaoru asked Sun Xinxin anxiously, "Xin姐, what’s going on This is too strange. It's summer vacation; most of the後勤 Group staff are off work. Why would they suddenly come to ask for us to surrender our storefront now"

"Who knows," Sun Xinxin shook her head. "But this storefront was originally found by Professor Xie for me, and it’s said that because of her face, the後勤 Group gave me quite a favorable price. Now that they want to raise prices, I guess it's not too surprising."

"But don’t you think it's raised too much" Fang Xiaoru was somewhat displeased. "I heard that storefronts in this school aren't usually this expensive; generally around 2000 yuan per month. If we have to pay 5000 a month, won’t our flower shop be at a loss"

"Actually, if it's 5000 then so be it; there’s no big deal about that. It’s only 60,000 yuan for the whole year." Summer didn't seem to care.

“That won’t do, I opened this flower shop with the intention of making money. Whether a little or a lot, I need to earn it. If we’re at a loss, there’s no way I would continue.” Sun Xinxin shook her head—Fang Xiaoru was right; if they had to pay 5000 yuan rent per month, she wouldn't be able to make money and might even incur losses, especially during vacation periods when it's almost certain to lose money unless something like the hacker incident happens again.

"Xin姐, should you go ask Professor Xie for help" Fang Xiaoru asked.

"Who is Professor Xie" Xia Tian asked.

"I used to work as a babysitter at Professor Xie's home. She is an economics professor at Jianghai University and seems to be quite famous in the field of economics," Sun XinXin explained.

After a moment, Sun XinXin shook her head: "It’s best not to trouble her; she has already helped me a lot. We’re not related or close friends, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to ask more from her."

Sun XinXin looked at Fang Xiaoru with concern and said consolingly, "Xiaoru, don't worry. Even if I have to shut down the flower shop, I will find you a job. Xia Tian knows many people, so it won’t be difficult for her to help you find suitable employment."

"Miss Xin, thank you very much!" Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru felt reassured but started daydreaming; if Xia Tian could introduce her to work at Qiao Xiaoqiao's place, that would be perfect.

A BMW pulled up in front of the flower shop. A middle-aged man got out of the car. Xia Tian found him familiar and then remembered who he was—this was none other than the old pervert with a BMW! Sun XinXin had called this guy Professor Chen, but she let him escape last time. Now, this fool has come knocking on her door; really asking for it!

"Little Sun, how's your flower shop business…" Professor Chen walked up to the entrance of the flower shop with a friendly demeanor and greeted Sun XinXin. Unfortunately, as soon as he started speaking, he felt an intense pain in his abdomen.

“Ugh…” With one hand clutching his stomach, Professor Chen bent over in pain, emitting a groan of agony.

"You idiot, you actually have the nerve to scheme against my wife Are you looking for death" Xia Tian complained angrily and slapped him twice. The crisp sound of his slaps echoed in the room, causing Professor Chen to be disoriented and confused about how he suddenly got hit.

"You, what kind of person are you How could you physically assault someone like that" Professor Chen finally realized it was Xia Tian who had hit him but failed to recognize him as the same man who called him an idiot last time.

"Do you think I should talk about manners with you" Xia Tian slapped him again, yelling, "Idiot!"

"Forget it, Xia Tian. Don't bother with this kind of person," Sun Xinxin walked over and gently persuaded him.

Xia Tian kicked Professor Chen away, "Get lost."

"You guys wait! I'll get you!" Professor Chen looked extremely miserable as he got up from the ground, shouting fiercely before pulling out his phone to make a call, clearly looking for help.

"No creativity at all. Just knows how to find someone else to do his dirty work," Xia Tian yawned and expressed his severe disdain towards Professor Chen's behavior, "Xinxin姐, guess what he’s going to do Call the police or hire some small-time gangsters"

"How could I know that" Sun Xinxin said exasperatedly.

"I think he’ll call the police," Fang Xiaoru interjected, "He keeps talking about manners and doesn’t seem like someone who would have connections with small-time gangsters."

"You never know. People like him act righteous in public but are quite sordid behind closed doors; they might actually hire some hooligans," Sun Xinxin couldn't help but say.

"Ms. Xin, if you guess wrong, we'll do it seven times tonight anyway," Summer said with a hot gaze fixed on the critical part of Ms. Sun's body, smiling mischievously.

"And what if I get it right" Sun Xinxin blushed slightly and gave Summer an annoyed look. The little pervert! He had already taken her seven times last night, yet he still wanted to do it seven more times tonight. There's no way she would let him have his way!

"There's a prize for guessing correctly: eight times." Summer chuckled.

"You wish!" Sun Xinxin spat at him and said, "I'm not going to guess."

Meanwhile, Fang Xiaoru was somewhat confused. "What are you talking about Seven times, eight times"

"Ms. Xin, no guessing means nine times," Summer continued.

"You just stop it! Tonight I won't let you into the room!" Sun Xinxin scolded him.

"Summer, Ms. Xin, can't your flirtatious banter wait for somewhere more private There are underage girls around here!" Fang Xiaoru finally understood and realized that these two really were in a passionate relationship; they needed to be more mindful of their surroundings!

Summer looked at Fang Xiaoru with a bit of surprise, "You're still not of age"

"Neither are you! I'm talking about Xiao Ling," Fang Xiaoru said irritably.

Ding Ling's delicate voice suddenly rang out, "I am already eighteen years old."

"Yay!" Fang Xiaoru unexpectedly shouted with excitement, "I guessed it right; she really did call the police!"

A police car drove into Jianghai University and stopped beside Professor Chen's BMW. The door opened, and two policemen got out.

"Why is it him again" Sun Xinxin couldn't help but mutter to herself when she saw one of the policemen. This chubby policeman was quite familiar to her; he was none other than Wang Jian!

"Captain Wang, this punk has no manners at all and maliciously hurt someone. Quickly arrest him for me!" Professor Chen led Captain Wang and another police officer into the flower shop, pointing at Xia Tian in a furious manner.

Slap! Xia Tian slapped Professor Chen again, "I told you to get lost; how dare you come back in"

"You—you’re beyond the law now Even in front of the police, you still dare to hit people" Professor Chen was furious. "Captain Wang, did you see this Such a lawless thug should be locked up immediately to prevent him from wreaking havoc on society!"

Cough... Captain Wang coughed lightly and said, "Wu Shan, make the arrest."

"Yes, Captain Wang," another policeman walked towards Xia Tian.

"Wu Shan, what are you doing" Suddenly, Captain Wang barked sharply. "The person I asked to be arrested is right here!"s mouth snapped him back to reality. He clutched his nose with one hand, trying to stop the gushing blood, while pointing an accusing finger at Xia Tian with the other, his expression filled disbelief...
