"Understood!"

Sandy nodded respectfully.

Since arriving at the company, Chen Zheng had been sitting next to Wei Zixuan, accompanying her as she worked. The company's employees were all incredibly envious, especially the men, whose eyes were filled with jealousy. But jealousy was all it could be. The car this man had driven to work in the morning was worth over 80,000,000. This immediately extinguished any stray thoughts the male employees might have had.

It was simply out of their league. That car alone was something they could never hope to obtain in their lifetimes. A man like that was the only one worthy of Wei Zixuan.

Time flew by.

At noon, an employee walked in. "Boss, here's an invitation. It's from Qi Lei!"

"Qi Lei?" Wei Zixuan frowned before saying, "Got it. You can go back to your work."

The employee nodded and left. Wei Zixuan tossed the invitation aside and went back to her tasks. Bored, Chen Zheng picked up the invitation. He opened the gold-plated cover and saw a note inside with just a few words written on it.

Yunzhou Grand Hotel, Emperor Suite.

The signature, of course, was Qi Lei's.

"Heh! This kid really knows how to put on a show," Chen Zheng scoffed. "The Qi Group's stock has plummeted, yet he still has the energy for this kind of thing?"

"What are you planning to do?" Wei Zixuan asked, rolling her eyes at him.

"What can I do? Didn't you say the final stroke was still missing? I'm just thinking about adding it!" Chen Zheng said with a shrug.

"Pah! You're shameless!" Wei Zixuan's face flushed red as she turned her focus back to her work.

Chen Zheng didn't bother her further, instead busying himself with his phone. He sat there silently, keeping her company until she finished work and they left. Before leaving, however, Wei Zixuan's mischievous hands found their way to him again.

This left him speechless. Where was the restraint expected of a campus belle and beautiful boss?

「Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital, at the Qi family home.」

Qi Zhenyun was furious. "What the hell am I paying you for? A whole day has passed, and you still haven't figured out why the stock is plummeting?"

Not a single one of the company's top executives could utter a word. They were all completely bewildered. Their company's stock had plunged again today, a catastrophic fall with no hope of a rebound in sight. The company's market value was down nearly 20%! In just two days, they had suffered losses of tens of billions. Even for a Fortune 500 company, such losses were unbearable.

"I'm giving you one more day!" Qi Zhenyun seethed. "If you can't produce a result by tomorrow, you can forget about your shares! All of you can pack up and go home to raise your kids!"

He cursed angrily, then spun around and stormed out.

BOOM!

After Qi Zhenyun left, the remaining executives' faces were grim. Not daring to waste a single second, they immediately started mobilizing their resources to investigate the situation. However, it was clear they wouldn't find anything.

Qi Zhenyun, filled with a rage he couldn't vent, dialed Qi Lei's number.

"Qi Lei, you little bastard! You'd better tell me straight, what the hell did you do? Who did you piss off?"

Qi Lei was stunned. He hadn't done anything today, other than sending that invitation to Wei Zixuan. Could that letter really have caused so much trouble?

"Dad, what are you talking about? Is there any reason to be this angry?" Qi Lei asked.

"Reason to be angry? The Qi Group's stock has been in a freefall for two straight days! We've lost over 40 billion in just two days, and you're fucking telling me you don't know about it?" Qi Zhenyun's teeth were clenched in rage.

"How... how is that possible?" A tremor ran through Qi Lei's body, and he let out an incredulous gasp.

"Tell me honestly, who did you provoke? You'd better explain everything you've done in the past two days, or I swear I'll break your legs right now." Qi Zhenyun was at the peak of his fury, and his tone was devoid of any courtesy.

Qi Lei broke out in a cold sweat. When his father talked about breaking his legs, it was a threat that he'd be thrown out of the family. If he were kicked out, wouldn't he become a stray dog?

With no other choice, he honestly recounted everything he had done over the past two days to his father.

"Chen Zheng?" his father's voice boomed over the phone. "A man that even Greedy Wolf couldn't defeat, and you still claim you haven't offended anyone? You little bastard, get your ass back here right now!"

Qi Zhenyun tore into him, unleashing a torrent of verbal abuse. Qi Lei felt the world go dark around him.

"Young Master, what should we do?" Sandy asked anxiously from his side.

Qi Lei snapped back to his senses. "Wei Zixuan? She still hasn't arrived?"

"No!" Sandy shook her head. "Young Master, that Wei Zixuan is just the boss of some small company. Why don't you just go to her? Why make things so complicated?"

"What the hell do you know!" Qi Lei snapped irritably, cutting his assistant off. "Don't you know what she's like? That woman has always been full of herself. For someone like her, I want her to deliver herself to my door willingly. Humph! If she doesn't come today, I have other methods. Go find Wei Tianqiang and Wei Tianqi from Yunzhou City and bring them to me."

"Understood, Young Master!" Sandy nodded.

Before long, two large SUVs arrived simultaneously at the Yunzhou Grand Hotel. Inside were two middle-aged men who bore a slight resemblance to each other. They exchanged a look, entered the elevator, and ascended to the top floor of the hotel.

Sandy was already waiting at the entrance. "Please, follow me."

The two men didn't dare to hesitate, quickly following her to the Imperial Suite.

Qi Lei was lounging lazily on the sofa, paying them no mind. Despite this, the two men bowed respectfully. "Young Master Qi!"

"Sit wherever," Qi Lei said, gesturing vaguely to the side as a greeting.

"Thank you, Young Master!" the two men said hastily before taking their seats with deference.

"I called you here today because there's a small matter I need your help with," Qi Lei said lazily from his seat on the sofa.

Wei Tianqiang, who had just sat down, immediately shot back to his feet. "Young Master Qi, please don't say that. Whatever you need, just give the word. We brothers will go through hell and high water to get it done for you!"

Anyone else in Yunzhou City who witnessed this scene at the Yunzhou Grand Hotel would have been utterly shocked. Wei Tianqiang and Wei Tianqi were no ordinary men. In Yunzhou City, they were renowned figures. Wei Tianqiang, for instance, was the helmsman of the Xingsheng Group.
