"Hello sister-in-law, I’m the Boss’s little brother, my name is Qian Duoduo!"
Ye Yaxin looked at this Qian Duoduo, dazed and bewildered.
Zheng Shaodong, upon hearing this name, felt a sense of familiarity but couldn’t recall where he had heard it.
"Alright, you fatso, quit your blabbering. It’s good you’re here, I have a matter for you to handle!"
Xiao Yifeng said to Qian Duoduo.
"What’s the matter? Boss, if it’s about climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of flames, I... I can’t do it, but anything else, just tell me!"
Qian Duoduo said earnestly.
Xiao Yifeng almost burst into laughter at Qian Duoduo’s sudden turn of phrase—this guy truly was a piece of work.
"Don’t worry, it’s nothing so dramatic. This guy is the deputy manager of the Qian Corporation’s Tianhai Branch Company. Because of a little grudge between us, he now wants to dissolve Tianhai’s partnership with our Ye Family, and he demands that I kneel before him and apologize. What do you think I should do?"
Xiao Yifeng asked, pointing at Zheng Shaodong and addressing Qian Duoduo.
"What? He wants my Boss to kneel and apologize? Kid, are you tired of living?"
Qian Duoduo instantly took on a fierce look as he glared at Zheng Shaodong, but his appearance made him look more comical than intimidating.
"Who are you? This is between them and me. You’d better not get involved."
Zheng Shaodong said coldly, responding to Qian Duoduo.
"Oh, acting tough, huh? We’ll see if I can’t handle you!"
With a shout, Qian Duoduo whipped out the latest iPhone 7 and made a call.
"Get the manager of the Qian Corporation’s Tianhai Branch Company to the Ye Corporation’s president’s office as fast as possible. Remember, I said the fastest, or he’s out of a job!"
After delivering this domineering line, Qian Duoduo hung up the phone.
Both Ye Yaxin and Zheng Shaodong, upon hearing Qian Duoduo’s words, showed a look of surprise, secretly guessing at his identity—who dared to speak in such a manner.
After a few seconds of shock, Zheng Shaodong came to his senses, looked at Xiao Yifeng with a sneer, and said, "Kid, is this your trick, getting someone to scare me, hoping I would change my mind? You are absurd."
"And your performance is a bit over the top, demanding that the manager of Qian Corporation’s Tianhai Branch come rolling to the Ye Family at maximum speed. You sure are full of hot air!"
"You think I’m bluffing?"
Qian Duoduo stared at Zheng Shaodong with his beady eyes.
"Isn’t that what you’re doing? I want to see how you’re going to follow through with this tall tale today. You think you can scare me that easily? Do you think I’m someone who scares easily?"
Zheng Shaodong snorted disdainfully.
"Very good, you dare to doubt me~"
Qian Duoduo snorted coldly.
Xiao Yifeng’s lips curled into a smile as he walked to the side and leisurely sat down. Ye Yaxin sat quietly, feeling totally out of the loop.
Less than ten minutes later, knockings echoed again at the door of Ye Yaxin’s office.
"Come in!" Ye Yaxin called out while inwardly guessing—could the manager of Tianhai’s Qian Branch Company have actually arrived?
Upon hearing the knock, Zheng Shaodong’s heart skipped a beat, filled with an inexplicable unease, before he hastily reassured himself.
The next second, the door of the office opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit, with shining hair, strode in, urgency in his eyes, his forehead beaded with sweat.
Seeing the middle-aged man, Ye Yaxin shot up from her seat, exclaiming incredulously.
As Zheng Shaodong looked at the middle-aged man, his heart lurched again, and a wave of anxiety enveloped him, his body trembling slightly.
This middle-aged man was none other than Zhang Quan, the manager of Qian Corporation’s Tianhai Branch Company.
As soon as Zhang Quan walked into the office and scanned the room, he saw Qian Duoduo and quickly stepped forward, bowing, "Young Master, I did not expect to see you in Tianhai. If my hospitality was wanting, please forgive me!"
Zhang Quan spoke as cold sweat beaded his forehead, completely taken aback that the scion of the Qian Family would appear here and that he was caught unaware.
It was only after the Qian Corporation’s headquarters had messaged him, telling him that Qian Duoduo demanded his immediate presence at Ye Corporation, that Zhang Quan felt extremely nervous, unsure of what the Young Master had in store for him, his heart in turmoil.
At this moment, Ye Yaxin and Zheng Shaodong were thoroughly shocked by Zhang Quan’s respectful, almost servile attitude toward the fat man, disbelief painting their faces, while Xiao Yifeng remained as indifferent as before.
When Zheng Shaodong saw how respectfully his superior was treating this fat man, his heart sank completely, his pupils dilated, and it finally dawned on him where he had heard the name Qian Duoduo before—it was the name of the scion of the Qian Family!
Clearly, the fat man in front of them was indeed Qian Duoduo, the scion of the Qian Family. No wonder a simple phone call had Zhang Quan scurrying over, but Zheng had realized it all too late.
Having grasped this, Zheng Shaodong felt as if his head had exploded, his complexion turning deathly pale, his body quaking.
"Eh? Shaodong, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Quan suddenly spotted Zheng Shaodong to the side, his expression filled with confusion.
"He is your subordinate, isn’t he?"
Qian Duoduo suddenly spoke up.
"Yes, this Shaodong is the vice manager of the branch office; he is experienced and capable in his work,"
Zhang Quan nodded, casting a sidelong glance at Zheng Shaodong, noting his pallor, and suddenly realized something, secretly speculating whether this young man had offended the Young Master, for why else would the Young Master have called him in a rush?
"This guy wanted my boss to kneel down and apologize to him, in other words, he wanted me to kneel and apologize. What do you think about that?"
Qian Duoduo looked at Zhang Quan with a sly smile.
At Qian Duoduo’s words, Zhang Quan’s complexion instantly altered dramatically, his heart aghast, his gaze incredulously fixed on Zheng Shaodong, internally cursing the man for his folly.
Damn it, he really had offended the Young Master, and deeply at that. Demanding the scion of Qian Family, one of the Eight Great Families of Yanjing, to kneil for an apology was as foolish as lighting a lantern in the latrine—plainly seeking death.
And Zheng Shaodong shivered, his eyes showing intense fear, his face turning ashen.
"Zheng Shaodong, what on earth is going on here?"
Zhang Quan stared fiercely at Zheng Shaodong.
At that moment, Zheng Shaodong was completely at a loss for words.
Then Xiao Yifeng stood up, walked up to Zheng Shaodong, and said with a taunting tone, "You had a lot to say earlier, why so silent now?"
