He was well aware of Xingsheng Group's situation. That was why he made the suggestion—he intended to use this project to take advantage of Wei Zixuan. After all, how could he possibly turn down such a stunning beauty when she came knocking on his door?

Just then, Chen Zheng, who had been standing to the side, suddenly spoke up. "It's fine. We can leave. This project won't be going to that Mr. Yu!"

Hearing this, Yu Hui's brow furrowed.

"Listen, young man, this is a major project. You have no say here. You aren't with Dahong Real Estate, so how could you possibly know the airport project won't be given to me?"

"I just have that confidence!"

Chen Zheng had no desire to deal with Yu Hui; he had long seen what the sleazy old man was planning. Besides, he was the one in charge of the airport project. It had absolutely nothing to do with Yu Hui.

"Heh, quite arrogant, isn't he? President Wei, is this your husband? He looks like a clueless country bumpkin to me," Yu Hui said, a hint of anger in his voice.

"What my husband is like is none of your business," Wei Zixuan retorted, much to Yu Hui's surprise.

Yu Hui was taken aback. He stared at the suddenly incensed Wei Zixuan, momentarily at a loss for a reaction. Soon, however, he broke into a sneer. The board of directors would almost certainly hand the airport project to him. When that happened, Wei Zixuan would still have to come begging!

You can act tough now, but when the time comes, I'll make you kneel and beg me! The thought brought a wave of smug satisfaction.

"President Wei, I was happy you came to see me today, but I do not like your tone. Once the project is assigned, I don't think there will be any possibility of us cooperating."

Wei Zixuan let out a cold laugh. "I don't like being threatened. If there's no cooperation, so be it. It's not like our Xingsheng Group is desperate for this one project."

"Chen Zheng, let's go."

With that, Wei Zixuan prepared to pull Chen Zheng away.

But just at that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out in Chen Zheng's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for triggering a selection mission!]

[Option 1: Punish the sleazy Yu Hui. Reward: Ten million in funds!]

[Option 2: Reveal your identity and hand the project to Yu Hui. Reward: One green hat and the title 'Green Hat Warrior'!]

Is there even a choice? It's obviously option one! What a joke. I'm not some kind of pervert. Am I supposed to just watch this sleazebag make a move on my own wife?!

With that thought, Chen Zheng pulled Wei Zixuan back. "Don't worry, this project will still be ours."

Before Wei Zixuan could even speak, Yu Hui burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, so you understand how important this project is to President Wei right now? So, how are you planning to beg me?"

In Yu Hui's eyes, Chen Zheng was clearly about to apologize. He probably understood that if Wei Zixuan lost this project, her position as the CEO of Xingsheng Group would be precarious. Thinking of this, Yu Hui couldn't help but feel a swell of pride. In the past, Wei Zixuan had always been a high-and-mighty figure who probably wouldn't have deigned to give him a second glance. But things were different now. He had leverage. Even someone so high and mighty could be forced to kneel before him.

But he never could have imagined what happened next.

Chen Zheng turned, walked right up to him, raised his arm, and slapped him forcefully across the face.

The blow was so heavy that Yu Hui felt as if his face had been hit by a car.

SLAP!

The crisp sound was so loud that even the employees outside the office could hear it.

Wei Zixuan, standing in the doorway, froze. The employees passing by in the hall also froze. Even Yu Hui himself was stunned, his head still turned to the side from the impact.

"Are you fucking asking to die?!" Yu Hui roared, snapping back to his senses.

But the next second…

SLAP!

Chen Zheng raised his hand and slapped him again, this time on the other cheek, snapping his head back to the front.

Tasting blood, Yu Hui stared at Chen Zheng in utter disbelief.

"I'm happy to talk about cooperation, but I don't like the way you look at my wife," Chen Zheng said, throwing Yu Hui's words back at him.

"You think that just because you're the general manager of Dahong Real Estate, this project will automatically be handed to you?"

"What kind of trash are you? A so-called general manager? You're just a dog on the board's leash. What right do you have to be throwing your weight around?"

"'The airport project will definitely go to you?' Who do you think you are? Is a relative of yours on the board of directors?!"

Hearing Chen Zheng stand up for her, Wei Zixuan, still standing by the door, felt her mood instantly brighten.

Yu Hui, however, glared at Chen Zheng with pure fury. "And what kind of trash are you?! This is Dahong Real Estate's business! I may not have the final say, but an outsider like you certainly has no right to interfere!"

He then turned his vicious gaze on Wei Zixuan. "President Wei, let me make things clear. If I don't get a satisfactory explanation for this today, you can forget about getting the airport project!"

Wei Zixuan's anger flared, but Chen Zheng cut in first. "Are you deaf?! I said, the board of directors won't give you this project!"

Then, Chen Zheng looked at Wei Zixuan. "Zixuan, just give me the cooperation documents from both sides."

Wei Zixuan had no idea what Chen Zheng was planning, but she handed over the file anyway. No matter what happened now, she would support her husband.

"Are you insane?! I told you, this is Dahong's business, not something an outsider like you can meddle in!" Yu Hui shouted.

Chen Zheng just sneered, ignoring him completely as he signed his name at the end of the document.

"Chen Zheng… what are you doing?"

Wei Zixuan was utterly stunned. He signed his own name on the cooperation agreement?

What… what good will that do?!

Chen Zheng didn't explain further. He simply handed the signed document over. "Don't worry, Zixuan. The cooperation for this project is settled."

Wei Zixuan's eyes widened, her mind flashing back to when Chen Zheng had acquired the shares of Xingsheng Group.

Could it be... that a miracle is about to happen again?

Nearby, Yu Hui couldn't hold it in any longer and erupted in laughter.

"HAHAHA!"

"President Wei, is there something wrong with your boyfriend's head?"

"'The cooperation is settled?' Do you have any idea how big this project is? What, is the chairman of Dahong Real Estate your father? You think your signature is enough to approve the deal?"

Yu Hui stared at Chen Zheng as if he were a clown, laughing so hard he seemed on the verge of hysterics.

"The chairman of Dahong isn't my father, but I do own thirty percent of Dahong Real Estate's shares," Chen Zheng said with a cold smirk. "Your name is Yu Hui, correct? I am now questioning your professional competence and your moral character. You're fired."

"If you leave now, you'll receive your salary and compensation in full. But if you continue to cause trouble, I will launch a full investigation to see whether you have been embezzling company funds."
