Chapter 176: 176 Tomorrow I will send you to your death
Tang Ze nearly lost his temper after listening, but Shi Lan managed to keep him under control. No matter what, they had to meet the other party first to see who they were dealing with, although she already had a guess in mind.
“Deputy General Manager Qin is right.”
“Women, ah, it’s always the same thing. Whether they make money or not doesn’t matter, as long as they’re beautiful, can carry on the family line, and can stay at home to support their husbands and teach their children, that’s what’s most important. In my opinion, my brother has spoiled her too much. No matter how successful a woman’s career is, doesn’t she have to return to the family in the end?”
Shi Lan scoffed quietly, treating the impassioned speech of Deputy General Manager Qin as nothing more than hot air.
After roughly five or six minutes, the young mistress was already impatiently rubbing her ears when the doors of the banquet hall finally opened.
“Brother, you’ve finally arrived.” Deputy General Manager Qin got up enthusiastically from his chair to greet the guest at the door.
Tang Ze and Sun Ling turned their heads simultaneously, curious about which big shot was recklessly trying to poach from Yilong.
Only Shi Lan didn’t look toward the door from beginning to end. When the person walked to the empty seat next to Shi Lan and was about to sit down, she suddenly turned, kicking the chair away with her foot.
With a loud crash, everyone looked at Shi Lan in shock. Only then did she raise her head to look at Gu Chengyu and said, “I guessed it was you early on. You truly haven’t let me down, no wonder you and that Deputy General Manager Qin could be friends.”
“An Lan…” Gu Chengyu frowned at Shi Lan, “I only wanted to help you. There’s no need for such an extreme reaction.”
“Oh really? Wanting to help me?” Shi Lan leaned on the armrests, smiling, “Well, I’m f**king grateful, but I don’t need it.”
“You woman, how could you be so ungrateful?” Deputy General Manager Qin slammed the table in anger.
“Of course, I can’t compare with Deputy General Manager Qin’s sensibility. As a ‘Phoenix Man’ who came from a small village, willing to wear green hats for money, knowing that your wife’s child has nothing to do with you, yet still able to perform the role of a family head in public, I really admire you.” Shi Lan sneered, “Don’t forget, Deputy General Manager Qin, that you climbed the ladder using a woman. As soon as Miss Li from your family gives the order, you’ll have to pack up and roll out. So, what’s with the act of superiority?”
Deputy General Manager Qin, with his secrets exposed, wanted to lash out at Shi Lan, abandoning any semblance of gentlemanly demeanor.
Tang Ze and Sun Ling stepped forward together, positioning themselves in front of Shi Lan, shielded her closely.
Only then did Shi Lan rise from her chair, dusted off her dress, and looked at Gu Chengyu with a cold expression: “Don’t waste any more of my time. Are you a f**king stray dog, Gu Chengyu? Have you no pride? Do you know how disgusting I find you right now?”
“These are the same words you told me once. I’m returning them to you as is. Tomorrow, I’ll be sending you to the west.”
Having said that, Shi Lan picked up her purse and said to Tang Ze and Sun Ling, “Let’s go.”
Tang Ze signaled for Shi Lan and Sun Ling to leave first, as there were still a few men left in the room.
After Shi Lan and Sun Ling left the banquet hall, Tang Ze then said to Gu Chengyu: “Don’t keep bothering An Lan. I will not let you hurt her a second time.”
“An Lan you slut, do you know what happens when you offend us?” Deputy General Manager Qin, seeing the people leaving, yelled angrily in the banquet hall.
“Got the guts to try me?” Shi Lan retorted without looking back.
The three of them left the hotel at a rapid pace, and once they were in the car, Sun Ling couldn’t help but say irritably, “Yilong Technology is supposed to be the largest mobile game company in the country, but I didn’t expect the quality of its executives to be so poor. Why does that Qin pighead think he can look down on women?”
“I remember you said that the event for ‘Demon’s Journey’ has a cash prize, a public award ceremony, and separate negotiation for the rights, right?” Shi Lan suddenly asked Sun Ling.
“Yeah, boss, I thought you didn’t want to reveal your identity?”
“I’ve changed my mind,” Shi Lan declared.
