Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 715 - 718 Tripled

The discussion about the next steps for Snow Skin Cream was quickly concluded. The previously tense atmosphere in the office vanished, replaced by an amorous one.

Orange Bear walked out from behind her desk, went straight to Liu Ergou, and sat on his lap.

"Er Gou~" Orange Bear called out sweetly.

Liu Ergou's heart fluttered at the sound. He reached out, embraced Orange Bear, and began roaming his hands over her body.

"What's up, Orange?" Liu Ergou said with a smile. "If I remember correctly, didn't we just... a few days ago?"

Orange Bear interrupted him before he could finish. "Aiya, that was a few days ago. Besides, we're back now, aren't we? Once we return to our usual lives, we'll hardly get to see you. So, we have to take this chance to spend more time with you, am I right?"

Hearing her words, Liu Ergou nodded in enthusiastic agreement.

Before long, Lu Shuangyue and He Mingxue had also seated themselves next to Liu Ergou, pressing their bodies against his.

Just as Liu Ergou was preparing to go wild, someone suddenly knocked on the office door.

Hearing the knock, Orange Bear asked impatiently, "What's with the knocking? Didn't I tell you to bring up any issues tomorrow? Don't come looking for me today! We just had a meeting to discuss our next steps, did my words go in one ear and out the other?"

The person outside immediately replied, "President Orange, I heard you. But the landlord is here to collect the rent. I told him we're busy today and that he should come back tomorrow, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on coming up. I had no other choice but to come and notify you!"

When Orange Bear heard the landlord had arrived, she froze for a moment before a look of disgust crossed her face.

"Oh, I see. My mistake," Orange Bear said. "In that case, you can go back down for now. Bring the landlord up in ten minutes."

The person outside said nothing more and turned to leave.

With a sigh of regret, Orange Bear got up from Liu Ergou's lap and straightened her clothes. She then returned to her seat behind the office desk.

Seeing her expression, Liu Ergou asked curiously, "Orange, is this building a rental?"

Orange Bear nodded. "Yes, of course, I rented this building! In the city center, every inch of land is worth its weight in gold. Do you think a small broadcaster like me could afford to buy it? I could take out a mortgage, but by the time I paid it off, I'd probably be six feet under. It's better to just rent something ready-made!"

Liu Ergou nodded, indicating that he understood.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside the door. "President Orange said you need to wait ten minutes before coming up! You can't go in yet! It hasn't even been three minutes!"

An arrogant voice immediately followed. "This is my building! I'll come up whenever I damn well please! Ten minutes? I'm coming up right now! What are you going to do about it? Kill me?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou raised an eyebrow. It seems the owner of this building isn't going to be easy to deal with.

Before Liu Ergou could give it much more thought, a loud banging rattled the office door.

"Hey, big-shot influencer! I'm here! Open up! I'm here to collect the rent! You hear me? Or are you playing dead in there?"

The disgust on Orange Bear's face intensified at the sound of his voice. She took a deep breath before stepping forward to open the door.

What met her eyes was a man barely 1.5 meters tall who looked to weigh a solid 100 kilograms, with a bald patch on the crown of his head. This man, the landlord, was leering at Orange Bear from head to toe, looking exceptionally sleazy.

Before Orange Bear could speak, he swaggered past her and barged into the room.

His eyes lit up the moment he walked in. On the sofa sat two other women, each just as beautiful as Orange Bear—truly a feast for the eyes. Liu Ergou, who sat between the two women, was completely ignored.

Without hesitation, the landlord plopped down next to Lu Shuangyue and immediately began inching closer. Lu Shuangyue's brows furrowed, and she subtly shifted away, closer to Liu Ergou.

The landlord paid her no mind, saying, "The big influencer has been doing quite well lately, eh? Business is booming! It makes an unemployed guy like me so envious!"

"I even managed to snag a bottle of your Snow Skin Cream. Have to say, the stuff works great! When does the next batch go on sale? Give me a heads-up, will you? I want to buy a few more!"

Orange Bear frowned. "That's a trade secret; I can't comment on that. My staff told me you were here to collect the rent, correct?"

"If I remember correctly, the rent isn't due for another month. Why are you here to collect it early?"

The landlord sized Orange Bear up as he replied, "Eh, a month early, a month late, what's the difference? If I collect it now, I don't have to come back later, right?"

"Oh, right. I almost forgot to tell you, the rent is going up. This payment is for the renewal—for next year," he said, holding up two fingers. "It's not a big increase, just a little bit!"

Seeing the two fingers, Orange Bear asked, "You're doubling the rent?"

The landlord shook his head vigorously. "Are you kidding? Who said double? I meant triple! Triple the rent!"

When Orange Bear heard "triple the rent," she shot up from her office chair. "Are you insane?" she exclaimed in disbelief. "You want to triple the rent for *this* place? Even if I dared to pay it, would you dare to take it? Do you realize this is extortion?!"

The landlord, however, was not the least bit perturbed. He replied with smug composure, "Don't make it sound so ugly. How is this extortion? I heard your Snow Skin Cream sales have topped a hundred million. Compared to that, how much is my rent? Even tripled, it's a drop in the bucket!"
