"Yueyue, your timing is impeccable! This damn seller is such an audacious bastard, trying to pull this here..."
"Shut your mouth. Who said I’m your sister?" Feng Yueyue cut her off rcilessly, her expression frigid.
Witnessing this, Sun Doudou was stunned speechless. The Sun and Feng families had an excellent relationship, with a history of business dealings, and she and Feng Yueyue had t several tis before. She never imagined Feng Yueyue would scold her so rcilessly over so guy who sold fake dicine.
"Sun Doudou, I am officially warning you now: Mr. Chen is a respected guest of our family. If you dare to show him any disrespect again, and I find out about it," Feng Yueyue said coldly, "the relationship between our two families will be completely over, with no possibility of repair!" She was threatening to end their families’ business cooperation, demanding that no one show Chen Zheng any disrespect.
Upon hearing this, the entire crowd erupted, turning their heads to stare at Chen Zheng in shock. According to Sun Doudou, this guy was just a snake oil salesman. How could he possibly be the Feng Family’s most honored guest? What in the world is going on?
"Fine, fine, fine..." Sun Doudou seethed. "You bastard, you snake oil salesman! I don’t know what kind of spell you’ve cast on Yueyue to make her protect you like this, but I’ll rember this. We’ll see about this later!"
With a cold huff, she stord outside in a rage.
At this mont, Zhang Ming was also reeling from shock. "Miss Feng, this..."
"Mr. Zhang, I hope you understand your position clearly. Don’t think that a little temporary success ans you can look down on everyone," Feng Yueyue said, her voice heavy with aning. "You should be very aware that to us, your entire corporation is nothing more than a small startup. As for all that noise on the stock market, it’s illusory. If you dare to disrespect Mr. Chen again, I won’t hesitate to short your company into the ground!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ming’s face turned pale. He understood all too well that with the Jingsheng Group’s power, crushing him would be as easy as swatting a fly. She wasn’t bluffing; she had the power to back up her threat. He didn’t dare say another word. After shooting Chen Zheng a venomous glare, he turned and left in humiliation.
Once outside, Zhang Ming exhaled deeply, his body shaking violently. This is a trendous humiliation! I’m the president of a multi-billion-dollar corporation; I’ve never lost so much face! If I don’t make this kid pay, how can I ever show my face in public again?
With these thoughts, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Brother Biao, I need you to do a favor. I can offer one or two million, whatever it takes!" he said. "The price doesn’t matter. I just want you to break his legs!"
「anwhile, back in the conference room.」
"Mr. Chen, are you all right?" Feng Yueyue quickly approached Chen Zheng, taking his hand with great concern. He looked pale, which worried her deeply. The earlier incident with the gun was no joke, and there was no telling if he had suffered other injuries.
"Miss, please let go of my husband!" Wei Zixuan said, her tone suddenly hostile.
"Mr. Chen, this lady is...?"
"This is my wife, Wei Zixuan," Chen Zheng introduced with a smile.
"A pleasure to et you, Miss Wei. My na is Feng Yueyue," she said, politely extending a hand while sizing Wei Zixuan up with curiosity. She had long known that Chen Zheng was married to a beautiful forr CEO, and seeing her in person, she had to admit Wei Zixuan’s aura was indeed extraordinary. Even so, Feng Yueyue couldn’t hide the faint arrogance in her expression.
Wei Zixuan’s eyebrows furrowed, but she still extended her hand for a brief, casual shake, her expression wary. This woman had just gone to great lengths to help her husband and had then taken his hand so intimately. The nature of their relationship was certainly intriguing. Given that Feng Yueyue was young, beautiful, and the heiress to a powerful family, it was inevitable that Wei Zixuan’s mind would start to race.
"Miss Wei, please don’t get the wrong idea. The reason I respect Mr. Chen so much is because..."
"Miss Feng, I’m fine," Chen Zheng interrupted, not wanting his wife to worry. "You should let Xu Da continue to handle your security. It would be better for you."
"Alright..." Feng Yueyue agreed, though sowhat reluctantly. After the day’s events, however, she understood perfectly well that she was in constant danger. If it hadn’t been for Chen Zheng, she would likely be a corpse right now.
"By the way, Mr. Chen," Feng Yueyue said softly, "our group’s board eting is tomorrow. Since you’re a shareholder, I hope you can attend in person."
After the life-threatening incident, her attitude toward Chen Zheng had done a complete one-eighty; she now fully accepted him. After all, when teetering on the edge of life and death, not just anyone will step up to save you.
"Alright," Chen Zheng nodded.
After Feng Yueyue left, Wei Zixuan approached. Her expression was cold, but her voice held a trace of concern. "Are you okay? Why do you look so pale?"
"It’s nothing, just a bit of a cold. It should clear up in a few days," Chen Zheng smiled casually.
"A cold, and you still have the energy to chat up a beautiful woman. You’re really sothing," Wei Zixuan snorted.
"Between us..."
"Forget it. You don’t need to explain anything to . I’m not in the mood to listen," she cut him off.
"Then what about what you said before?" Chen Zheng tried to return to their previous topic. "What is it you care about the most?"
"I don’t care about anything. I was just talking," Wei Zixuan said, turning away coldly. She watched Feng Yueyue’s departing figure, her own expression troubled. If he doesn’t care about at all, what’s the point of caring?
"Then let take you ho..." Chen Zheng sighed deeply. I know what she’s thinking, but I can’t be expected to explain every little thing, can I? That would just lead to endless trouble down the road.
"No need. I drove myself. I’m leaving," Wei Zixuan said, clearly upset, and walked straight toward the exit.
Chen Zheng shook his head slowly. There she goes again with her old habits. She’s obviously jealous because of what just happened, but sothing like this is hard to explain. The more I try, the ssier it will get. I can only let her be for now. Maybe I’ll have a chance to clear things up later...
