But who would have thought that just because of Ling Zhenfei's words, he would get himself fired?

"No, please, President Du..." Fan Tong, looking like he had just lost his dear mother, immediately began to beseech Du Kongting with a mournful face.

That dejected expression, he was just short of kneeling down to Du Kongting right then and there.

"What's the use of begging me for mercy when you were the one who offended Young Master Ling by not keeping your eyes open just now?"

Du Kongting knew that Ling Zhenfei was no ordinary person, and the reason he made such a direct decision was to give Ling Zhenfei enough respect.

After all, he definitely did not want Ling Zhenfei to truly become his enemy. If that were the case, it would undoubtedly turn into his own nightmare!

"Young Master Ling? Ah... right, right, Young Master Ling, please let me off, I really won't dare to offend you again in the future..."

Fan Tong was stunned for a moment before he realized that Ling Zhenfei was indeed someone he couldn't afford to offend. He hurriedly changed direction and started to plead with Ling Zhenfei as well.

"Hey, you buffoon, I've already told you that you have to be down-to-earth at work. Climbing up the ranks by brown-nosing like this, you're bound to take a hard fall sooner or later!"

Ling Zhenfei was not fooled by his misery act and said coldly, "You'd better stay at the grassroots level for a few years. People like you, only after experiencing the hardships of the grassroots staff will you learn what it takes to be a person!"

Fan Tong really lived up to his reputation as a total incompetent. If he hadn't organized this banquet today, or rather hadn't encountered Ling Zhenfei, he would have been able to hold onto his manager position.

But because he offended Ling Zhenfei, now even his job was stripped away.

At this moment, Fan Tong's mood sunk to the lowest point, he even felt like strangling himself.

Damn it, who else could I have offended if not Ling Zhenfei, this calamity star?

"Young Master Ling, I'm not very familiar with the staff of this newly acquired company, but since you came with them, you must know them well. Why not recommend a new manager for me?"

Since Du Kongting wanted to give Ling Zhenfei face, he of course needed to do it thoroughly, and immediately continued to smile at Ling Zhenfei.

"Well, as for the candidate... I actually do have a suitable person in mind!"

Since Du Kongting had extended an olive branch, Ling Zhenfei naturally would not refuse him outright, and immediately smiled as he pointed to Yang Zixuan and introduced her: "This is Yang Zixuan, a graduate from a prestigious university in Business Management. Although she's only been working for a short while, her ability is exceptional and she is fully competent for the department manager position!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Du Kongting looked at Yang Zixuan, then immediately nodded and said, "Alright, since she's a talent recommended by you, Young Master Ling, she must be special. It's settled then, Little Yang, from now on, you are the new branch manager!"

Ah!

Yang Zixuan, who had been pressured by Fan Tong to attend the banquet, had originally just wanted to keep her job.

But she hadn't expected this series of dramatic events to suddenly propel her into the manager's seat, making her truly unable to believe her own ears.

"Zi Xuan, you're a manager now. Do your best, Lin Corporation has a promising future, and you will definitely be able to win a sky of your own!"

Seeing Yang Zixuan looking at him with eyes full of shock and disbelief, Ling Zhenfei smiled and nodded at her, confirming that she hadn't heard wrong.

With Fan Tong stripped of his position, there was no longer any need to continue the banquet. As for Du Kongting, he wasn't all that interested in attending the banquet from the start.

Ignoring the utterly dejected Fan Tong, he smiled and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Young Master Ling, it was lucky that you saved President Lin today. I wanted to express my gratitude to you earlier, but there wasn't an opportunity. Now that we've met again, I think, why don't I host a meal in your honor?"

"This... I think I'd better not!" Ling Zhenfei, with his Perspective Divine Eye open, clearly saw the insincerity behind Du Kongting's smile and immediately rejected the offer straightforwardly.

"I'm sorry, I came here specifically to explain the situation to you. Zi Xuan and I have urgent business, so we won't disturb you any longer."

With that, Ling Zhenfei, ignoring the embarrassed look on Du Kongting's face, took the somewhat bewildered Yang Zixuan by the arm and left the private room.

"Ling..."

Watching Ling Zhenfei walk away, Du Kongting looked exceedingly uncomfortable. He started to speak, hoping to persuade him to stay, but ultimately, he said nothing.

"President Du, this Ling Zhenfei... he's too arrogant... completely ungrateful and treacherous!"

Fan Tong, who had been standing aside in a dejected manner, suddenly saw Du Kongting being snubbed like this by Ling Zhenfei and sensed an opportunity to redeem himself, hastily stepping forward to ingratiate himself.

"Shut your mouth! What do you know!"

With anger burning inside and nowhere to channel it, Du Kongting gave Fan Tong a fierce look and turned away.

After leaving the hotel, Du Kongting saw Ling Zhenfei and Yang Zixuan getting into a taxi in the distance, his expression becoming tense.

After some thought, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, President Du, I'm really sorry for messing up this time. But rest assured, we'll find another opportunity to make a move..."

As soon as the call connected, Du Kongting heard a very heavy voice at the other end.

"Hei Biao, what you're saying is complete nonsense! Lin Zhengnan, after such a scare, will surely be more cautious from now on. There won't be a second chance."

Before the other person could finish, Du Kongting's face showed anger, and he shouted furiously.

"This... So what do you suggest we do?" Hei Biao seemed to fear Du Kongting's authority and tentatively asked.

"Hei Biao, make absolutely sure, was it just your three men who were present when Lin Zhengnan was rescued?" Du Kongting pondered for a moment and continued to question.

"Yes, I've already confirmed it. Aside from my three men and the kid who did the rescuing, no one else was there!" Hei Biao responded with certainty.

"Good!"

Hearing this, Du Kongting's eyes quickly darted around, and he said in a sinister tone, "Listen carefully, Hei Biao, this matter is of great importance.

Ling Zhenfei is not easy to deal with, plus the police might conduct a secret investigation. You need to get rid of those three men who did the job immediately. Leave no traces for them to find, understand?"

"What, President Du, you want me to commit murder to clean up loose ends? But... Xiao Wu and the others have been with me for years..."

Hei Biao was shocked when he heard Du Kongting order a cover-up murder.

Although Hei Biao was no stranger to such things, having done them in secret before, he found it difficult to turn against his own men.

"Bullshit!" Sensing Hei Biao's hesitation, Du Kongting became furiously enraged.

"Hei Biao, for all the respect you claim as a boss of a district, having been part of the Jianghu for so many years, how can you lack such basic precaution? Those three men must be dealt with quickly and cleanly. If they fall into Lin Zhengnan's or the police's hands, we're all done for!"

"This... Alright then! President Du, I'll handle it right away!"

Speaking in a hurried tone and seemingly aware of the gravity of the situation, Hei Biao, after a brief silence on the line, finally gave an affirmative response.
