"Xiao Rong, forget it, with his social status, why bother arguing too much with him? A small fry is just a small fry, destined to be someone else’s driver or security guard for a lifetime, barely making it to a manager," Zhang Linhua said disdainfully.
Xiao Zheng ignored them and continued walking forward.
However, at that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit ran up, shouting loudly, "Brother Xiao!"
Zhang Linhua and Zheng Xiaorong were taken aback, looking up to see a middle-aged man, out of breath and with a face full of excitement, looking ahead. This man was the suit-clad man who had bumped into Xiao Zheng in the elevator, Mo Liancheng.
The Chairman of Mo Group!
Zhang Linhua recognized the man in front of him immediately.
A well-known figure in the Zhonghai City business circles, he had always been the object of Zhang Linhua’s flattery and seeking favor, unfortunately never having the chance to show off.
Having encountered him here by chance, Zhang Linhua immediately put on a smiling face and hurried forward to greet him.
With sharp eyes, Zheng Xiaorong saw Mo Liancheng’s arrival, her eyes glowing. This charming middle-aged man was far superior to Zhang Linhua. Thus, with seductive eyes, she accompanied Zhang Linhua to greet him.
"Mr. Mo, I didn’t expect to meet you here, really..."
However, Zhang Linhua’s enthusiasm was not reciprocated by Mo Liancheng, who was staring intently at Xiao Zheng behind Zhang Linhua.
Yet Xiao Zheng merely turned slightly and glanced at him. That one glance almost brought tears to Mo Liancheng’s eyes.
Mo Liancheng ignored the extended hands of Zhang Linhua and Zheng Xiaorong, pushing past them, and then quickly ran up to Xiao Zheng.
"Brother Xiao, is it really you?"
"I thought I would never see you again. Just now at the elevator, I thought I had mistaken someone else for you, but it really is you!" Mo Liancheng, like a child who had done something wrong, became excited and started gesticulating with his hands and feet.
"Little Mo, long time no see."
Xiao Zheng smiled faintly.
"Brother Xiao, where have you been all these years? I’ve been searching for you so hard!"
Mo Liancheng’s eyes were sincere as he grasped Xiao Zheng’s hand. It must be known that his rise had a lot to do with Xiao Zheng. Many years ago, when Mo Liancheng had been deeply in debt, close to being killed, it was Xiao Zheng who had helped him out, allowing Mo Liancheng to pull through and achieve his success today.
That is to say, without Xiao Zheng, there would be no Mo Liancheng today!
Xiao Zheng gave a wry smile, "Why are you acting like a child, even learning to cry?"
"Forget it, let’s gather another time. I have something else tonight." Xiao Zheng knew his intentions, but he was there to pick up his wife tonight and had no time to meet.
"Alright, I understand." Mo Liancheng knew Xiao Zheng’s personality; since he said no, insisting would only make things worse.
"Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo, do you remember me? We last had dinner together!"
Zhang Linhua leaned in, introducing himself, "My name is Zhang Linhua, the director of Huayan Company. Last time our boss was also with you..."
"Oh? No impression." Mo Liancheng wiped his eyes and waved his hand impatiently, "Sorry, I forgot."
After saying this, regardless of Zhang Linhua’s expression, Mo Liancheng hurriedly pulled out a black card from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zheng, saying, "Xiao Zheng, no offense meant, but I hope you will accept this."
Xiao Zheng glanced at it—it was a black card. Although he didn’t know its purpose, it seemed to be of considerable value.
Zhang Linhua gasped, a supreme black card!!!
This was a supreme black card!
Zheng Xiaorong finally came to her senses, her gaze toward Xiao Zheng complex beyond measure.
Only then did she realize Xiao Zheng’s extraordinary nature, recalling the scene just moments ago, and felt more miserable than if she had swallowed a dead toad. This was truly a slap in the face!
"Brother Xiao, you know each other?" Mo Liancheng looked back at the dumbfounded Zheng Xiaorong, assuming she was close to Xiao Zheng and not wanting to offend her.
"We know each other, more than just know each other, my girlfriend is Xiao Zheng’s classmate!" Zhang Linhua said excitedly, wishing Zheng Xiaorong had a closer relationship with Xiao Zheng to make it easier to curry favor.
Even a fool could see now that Xiao Zheng’s identity was extremely special!
However, Xiao Zheng just shook his head and said, "Not very familiar."
Zheng Xiaorong’s face changed dramatically, her mind reeling.
Zhang Linhua was also stunned.
"Alright, I’ve got other things to handle, we can hang out when I have some time. I have to pick up my wife now," Xiao Zheng shrugged off Zheng Xiaorong and the others.
"Wife? Brother Xiao, are you married?" Mo Liancheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Sort of," Xiao Zheng nodded, pulled out a cigarette, and was about to light it up when Zhang Linhua, quick-eyed, hurriedly offered his lighter.
"Brother Xiao, light mine."
"Who the hell are you?" Mo Liancheng, who had initially wanted to show off, was outraged, as the bootlicker had beaten him to it with the lighter.
Just then, a crisp and cold voice rang out. Everyone turned around and saw Leng Ruobing, who appeared like an ice fairy descended from the heavens, standing in the corridor.
Leng Ruobing, a legendary figure newly arisen in the business circles of Zhonghai City.
She not only possessed an exceptional beauty but also a business acumen that shocked the corporate world—a combination of beauty and intelligence that made her the dream woman of every man!
At that moment, Leng Ruobing looked at Xiao Zheng with a touch of tenderness in her eyes and said, "Honey, let’s go home."
When Zhang Linhua heard Leng Ruobing call Xiao Chen "husband," he felt as if his heart had been pierced by an arrow once again!
Even Xiao Zheng thought he had misheard. She actually called him husband in public?
"What’s the matter? Aren’t we leaving?" Leng Ruobing appeared somewhat impatient. Calling him ’husband’ had been a struggle of conflict inside her.
"Alright then. Coming, honey," Xiao Zheng patted Mo Liancheng on the shoulder, took his cigarette in his mouth, and swaggered off out of everyone’s sight.
It took a while after Xiao Zheng had left before they recovered; even Mo Liancheng couldn’t help but inwardly praise Xiao Zheng’s awesomeness, for even nabbing the ice beauty of Qianqiu Group.
"Mr. Mo, this is my business card, please have a look... "
Zhang Linhua obsequiously pulled out his business card.
However, Mo Liancheng didn’t even glance at it and simply pushed him away, striding off.
"Acting all high and mighty, who do you think you are!" Zheng Xiaorong burst out cursing, "Xiao think you’re something special just because you know a few people, strutting around like an idiot."
After saying this, she continued to cling to Zhang Linhua’s arm, acting coquettishly.
Zhang Linhua retaliated with a backhand slap.
A crisp slap sounded.
"You whore, if it weren’t for your conceited behavior, would Xiao Zheng have that attitude? If not for you, would we have missed such a good opportunity to connect with Mr. Mo, who then just walked away?" Zhang Linhua raged.
If it wasn’t for Zheng Xiaorong trying to show off, he wouldn’t have received such cold treatment.
"You hit me?" Zheng Xiaorong screamed, covering her face.
Zhang Linhua sneered, saying, "You’re just a plaything in bed for me, do you really think highly of yourself? You are nothing but an accessory!"
Zheng Xiaorong’s face changed drastically with anger, never having suffered such humiliation.
Zhang Linhua cursed loudly and turned away.
Feeling both frustrated and upset...
"Zhang, I’ll remember you!"
Zheng Xiaorong shrieked hysterically.
