This elicited a scream from the women in the elevator.

However, the elevator lights came on quickly, and the girls stopped screaming.

Yang Chu looked at the several women swaying in the elevator, and then saw Li Jiaqing blocking his way.

Yang Chu patted Li Jiaqing on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's probably just a problem with the elevator."

Li Jiaqing nodded, but her muscles remained tense as she warily watched Andy and the others.

After Qu Xiaoxiao stood still, she said angrily, "What a lousy elevator!"

Seeing the people around her, Fan Shengmei realized that Li Jiaqing was probably a bodyguard or something similar.

Fan Shengmei understood what Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao understood as well.

However, the two of them kept a little distance from Yang Chu and the others to avoid Li Jiaqing misunderstanding and causing unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao's expressions, Fan Shengmei knew they were afraid of causing a misunderstanding. But in this situation, if she didn't step forward, she would be trapped in the elevator forever.

So Fan Shengmei bypassed Qu Xiaoxiao and pressed the elevator alarm. Soon, the property management staff on duty answered the phone.

"How many people are trapped in the elevator? Who are they?"

Fan Shengmei glanced around the elevator and said, "Everyone on the 22nd floor is trapped, and so is everyone on the 23rd floor..."

Fan Shengmei didn't know Yang Chu and the others' names, so she turned to look at them.

"Yang Chu and Li Jiaqing on the 23rd floor!"

Fan Shengmei repeated the message to the call bell.

The property management staff quickly said, "Please don't panic, we'll get help right away."

Yang Chu frowned when he looked up and saw that the elevator had stopped on the twelfth floor. In the original story, it seemed that the elevator malfunctioned on the fifteenth or sixteenth floor. Now that it was on the twelfth floor, Yang Chu couldn't help but think more about it.

Just as Yang Chu was getting annoyed, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Li Jiaqing and said, "Let's have a good talk now. What gives you the right to call me an idiot?"

When Yang Chu heard that Qu Xiaoxiao was causing trouble again, he finally let out his pent-up anger.

"Enough! What time is it? Do you still want to fight?"

"Fine, let's fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you? If you don't explain yourselves clearly today, I don't mind fighting right now."

Yang Chu glared at Qu Xiaoxiao and said, "Fine, you wanted to know why I called you an idiot, right? You heard my introduction of Andy just now, didn't you? She's a Wall Street executive with an annual salary of two million. Do you think she would be Tan Zongming's mistress?"

"A two million annual salary! It's not a lot."

"Heh! You won't admit you're an idiot when I call you one. I'm talking about two million Ugly dollars."

Upon hearing the word "two million U.S. dollars," Qiu Yingying exclaimed, "That's fourteen million peony dollars! That's incredible! That's enough to earn me a lifetime's worth of money in a year!"

The atmosphere at the scene was already tense. Guan Juer was afraid that Qiu Yingying's words would upset Qu Xiaoxiao and Yang Chu, so she quickly tugged at Qiu Yingying's clothes and told her to stop talking.

Qu Xiaoxiao shut up when she heard about the two million Ugly Dollars. Such a high salary on Wall Street is no joke; it shows that the person is truly capable.

Seeing that Qu Xiaoxiao had shut up, Yang Chu continued angrily, "Now you know how stupid you are, right?"

"She earns over ten million a year, how come I'm just eating for free?"

"An idiot is an idiot. A Wall Street executive came to Shanghai and even has connections with Tan Zongming. Anyone with a brain knows that Tan Zongming poached him from Wall Street. You don't even understand such a simple principle. Calling you an idiot is an insult to idiots, is that wrong?"

Li Jiaqing also dropped her foolish act and looked at Qu Xiaoxiao indifferently, saying, "I don't know who gave you the guts to openly investigate Tan Zongming and then slander him for the hard work of recruiting him. I don't know if your family can withstand a single phone call from Tan Zongming."

Qu Xiaoxiao was terrified when she heard Yang Chu and Li Jiaqing's words. Cold sweat broke out on her back. She turned her head with difficulty to Andy, wanting to say something nice to Andy and ask her to let her go.

But Andy seemed completely unconcerned about Qu Xiaoxiao, and instead looked at Yang Chu and Li Jiaqing.

"You two are both very smart, but...! I don't really like smart people paying too much attention to my affairs."

Whether we are smart or not is none of your business.

Andy frowned upon hearing Yang Chu's words, clearly dissatisfied with Yang Chu's attitude.

"So, do you think you can withstand a phone call from Lao Tan?"

Yang Chu smiled and said, "Tan Zongming probably won't have time to deal with my affairs lately. You should mind your own business! If word gets out that you're Tan Zongming's mistress, I don't know if Tan Zongming will be able to keep his position at Shengxuan Group."

After Yang Chu finished speaking, he gave Qu Xiaoxiao a mischievous look.

Andy pondered for a moment, glancing at Qu Xiaoxiao and then at Yang Chu. She was unsure how the rumor that she was Tan Zongming's mistress would affect his position in the Shengxuan Group.

Just as Andy was about to ask Yang Chu for clarification, the property management staff arrived and shouted at the elevator.

Qiu Yingying hurriedly and impatiently shouted out to the elevator, but her words were incoherent, which made the property staff even more anxious.

Yang Chu sighed, glanced at the people in the elevator, and said, "The situation in the elevator is alright, there's still plenty of oxygen, but who knows what will happen if we stay here too long? There are seven of us here."

The property management staff became nervous when they heard there were seven people in the elevator.

"Don't be nervous. The elevator repairman has already gone to fix it, and you'll be able to come out soon."

After the property management staff finished speaking, they waited for Yang Chu's reply.

But after waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Yang Chu, he became a little anxious.

"Mr. Yang, did you hear that?"

"I heard you! I'm too lazy to answer right now. There's not much oxygen in the elevator, and I don't want to suffocate."

When the property management staff heard Yang Chu mention the lack of oxygen, they quickly told him, "Mr. Yang, don't worry, the elevator isn't enclosed, there won't be a lack of oxygen."

Yang Chu suppressed his anger and said to the property management staff, "Even if I don't lack oxygen, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

The property management knew that Yang Chu had warned them the night before last, and with this incident happening again today, it was bound to leave a bad impression. So the property management staff kept saying nice things to people in the elevator.

However, Yang Chu completely ignored the property management staff.

Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao also realized that Yang Chu was not an easy person to talk to.

Qu Xiaoxiao now regrets provoking Yang Chu. Even if Yang Chu has no status or background, it would still be troublesome if he kept coming to cause them trouble.

Andy originally wanted to find out how the rumor that she was Tan Zongming's mistress could make Tan Zongming's position unstable, but now that she saw Yang Chu was so difficult to talk to, she had a headache.
