Ignoring his stare, Janet entered a shop which was selling local products.
Small handmade products, almost all of them made out of Dongcui Mountain bamboos, filled the room.
She picked up a padauk brush pot, and observed its delicate workmanship.
The shopkeeper was carving another thing with commitment, but Janet didn't disturb him, and instead looked at its pattern.
"Do you like this one? Should I purchase it for you?" Hobson was standing in the shop's door.
Janet put it down, and refused him, "No, thanks."
She could have afforded it by herself.
But Hobson wasn't disappointed with her answer, and walked towards her. He picked it up and passed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "I will take this one, please wrap it up for me."
The shopkeeper took out his glasses and looked at the brush pot in his hand, and said, "Sir, this is worth 180, 000 dollars. Are you sure that you want to purchase it?"
Taking out his wallet, Hobson nodded without any sort of hesitation and passed his credit card to him.
Witnessing the scene, Janet walked out of the shop.
Hobson then ran after Janet and gave the brush pot to Janet, and said, "Here you are."
Janet stood still in front of him, with a cold expression drawn all over her face. "What's your purpose then?"
She wasn't as foolish as to believe that Hobson actually didn't want nothing out of her.
Hobson smiled, and gave her the present. Janet returned it to him, and in a dead-cold serious voice, said, "Stay away from me!"
Daniel was standing not that far away from them and had seen what had just happened. He took out his phone out of his pocket, and called someone. "Look into a man called Hobson Gong."
Janet was the one who had told him his name.
And if he knew his name, Daniel could easily find all the things he needed to know about Hobson.
Hobson looked at bag in his hand, and asked, "Are you refusing it because it's cheap? That's it, isn't it?"
Janet replied to him, and sneered, "Of course, that's it! How could I ever be fascinated by a product that's worth almost two hundred thousand dollars? Even if you had bought me something worth ten billion dollars, I still wouldn't have accepted it!"
Besides her relatives and friends, she only liked what Daniel had bought for her.
Hobson then became angry and changed his attitude, and said, "Do you know the consequences of offending me?"
'Consequences?' thought Janet. "I'm afraid of only one person, and that person definitely isn't you!" said Janet. She had a sense of safety around her, because Daniel was in a nearby restaurant.
After that, Janet walked into a cheongsam shop.
She knew that it was wrong to offend Hobson, but she really hated to speak with him.
All of a sudden, her hands were grabbed by someone, and Janet felt disgusted by the touch.
"Don't touch me!" she cried.
Janet was ready to give him a suplex, but Daniel came quickly to her aid, and caught Hobson's wrist.
Daniel twisted Hobson's hand, and Hobson felt an extreme pain, and released his grip on Janet.
Hobson glared at Daniel and quickly hit him.
But Daniel blocked the attack with his arm.
Seeing the fight, Hobson's bodyguards came out of the surrounding restaurants.
Hobson's girlfriend had come too. She had seen what had happened and ran towards Janet.
