Qin Qiu and Qin Song were both stupefied.

Even Chen Yang, who had been about to strike like a thunderbolt, couldn't help but pause.

What on earth is this guy up to?

"Mr. Zhang, what is this…?"

After a brief moment of bewilderment, Qin Qiu spoke, puzzled, and walked over to help Zhang Zhaoyang up.

However, her gesture only made Zhang Zhaoyang recoil in terror, his face deathly pale. "Please, I'm begging you," he pleaded in a panic, "spare my life."

He was, of course, speaking to Chen Yang.

Tears streamed down Zhang Zhaoyang's face. He was genuinely terrified. He didn't want to vanish from the face of the earth like Du Dingshan.

"All the distribution channels I hold have already been transferred to your name, President Qin. You just need to sign the documents."

With that, Zhang Zhaoyang called out, "Hurry up and get in here!"

Xu Hong entered carrying a stack of documents. After placing them on the table, he too knelt obediently, bowing his head in silence.

Qin Qiu: "…"

What in the world is going on?

Qin Qiu clearly remembered how arrogant and nasty he had been on the phone last night.

But now…

He was actually giving all of his remaining distribution channels to her?

The jarring contrast sent Qin Qiu's thoughts reeling. It felt like a dream; she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

This is Zhang Zhaoyang, the chairman of Juling Group!

Instinctively, she looked toward Chen Yang.

Could it be him again?

An intrigued expression appeared on Qin Song's face. The great Zhang Zhaoyang, a man of such high standing, was actually kneeling before them?

He was intensely curious about who could have frightened this tycoon so badly.

He then put on a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is all a misunderstanding. Please, get up. We can't accept these distribution channels. As long as you don't cause us any more trouble, that will be enough."

Qin Song's words still held a fawning tone. After all, the scale of Juling Group and Zhang Zhaoyang's status were plain to see. If they could befriend him through this incident, it would be an incredible boon.

Zhang Zhaoyang's face flushed with anger. "What business is this of yours?" he said coldly. "Say one more word and see what I do to you!"

A mere vice chairman, and he keeps jumping in to deliberately make things difficult for me? To hell with you!

Qin Song was taken aback. His face fell, his mouth twitched, and he gave a forced smile before retreating to the side without another word.

Although he didn't know the reason for all this, he knew that Zhang Zhaoyang was not someone he could afford to provoke.

Seeing that Qin Qiu remained silent, Zhang Zhaoyang grew extremely anxious. He shuffled on his knees over to Chen Yang and kowtowed. "Lord Yang Hu has already made me profoundly aware of my mistakes. Seeing as I haven't actually done anything yet, please, I'm begging you, just let me go this one time!"

THUD. THUD. THUD.

Zhang Zhaoyang's head struck the floor heavily, making a dull thumping sound.

Qin Song was stunned, staring fixedly at Chen Yang.

How is it him again?

Qin Qiu was also slightly taken aback. Her gaze, filled with confusion, rested on Chen Yang.

She had a feeling that this man was definitely hiding something from her.

"So it was Yang Hu."

Chen Yang wasn't particularly surprised. He kicked Zhang Zhaoyang to the ground, stepped on his face, and said, "You're not a complete idiot, at least!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Zhang Zhaoyang said, forcing a fawning expression through the pain.

"Get lost!"

"Thank you, thank you, sir! I'm going, I'm going right now."

As soon as Chen Yang lifted his foot, Zhang Zhaoyang scrambled up and fled.

With the departure of Zhang Zhaoyang and Xu Hong, the office suddenly fell into utter silence.

Qin Qiu stared intently at Chen Yang. She just stared, not saying a word.

Chen Yang felt a little spooked. He scratched his head and said, "Honey, this friend of mine, Yang Hu, is the most successful one I know. He managed to dig up some dirt on Zhang Zhaoyang through Director Zhao."

"Once you have something on him like that, forget making him kneel and apologize. He probably wouldn't dare refuse even if you told him to eat shit!" Chen Yang puffed out his chest, a smug look of triumph on his face. "'Strike a snake at its most vulnerable point.' Once you have them by the throat, you can make them do whatever you want."

Standing to the side, Qin Song couldn't watch any longer. All you did was rely on someone else's power. Stop acting like you're so tough. Have some damn shame!

Qin Qiu rolled her eyes, exasperated. It's not like it's his own ability, so what's he so smug about?

Deep down, however, she was still happy that Chen Yang had such a capable friend. In this day and age, connections were a form of strength. Still, it would be much better if that strength were his own. After all, people can help you once or twice, but they can't help you for a lifetime, can they?

"Alright, how about this—ask him when he's free. I'd like to treat him to dinner to thank him properly," Qin Qiu said.

"He's over on Qiyun Road and is pretty busy with work, but I'll pass on the message for you."

Chen Yang's lips curled into a grin, and he blinked. "Honey, I deserve some credit for the effort, right? Aren't you going to treat me to a meal?"

"Get real! Isn't there food at home?" Qin Qiu shot Chen Yang a harsh glare, but then she found the situation so amusing she had to quickly turn her head away.

Chen Yang retorted shamelessly, "I'm talking about a date for the two of us! How about today? We can find a nice restaurant, have some steak, a little red wine?"

"I'm busy!"

Those two words made Chen Yang deflate like a punctured balloon. "Fine then," he muttered dejectedly with a pout.

"Hurry up and go. I have a lot of work to handle."

"Okay, okay." Chen Yang nodded repeatedly. He then turned to Qin Song, his expression instantly hardening. "What are you still doing here? You useless coward, get lost."

This guy was still trying to fawn over Zhang Zhaoyang even after he had knelt and admitted his mistakes. It was utterly disgusting.

"Chen Yang!" Qin Song roared. "You'd better be more respectful!"

"Roar again, I dare you," Chen Yang said, raising his hand threateningly.

Qin Song flinched, but he refused to back down completely. "What, are you going to hit me?"

Chen Yang slapped him squarely across the forehead.

SMACK.

Qin Song staggered back several steps and finally crashed to the ground, his head spinning as he saw stars.

Clutching his throbbing forehead, he screamed furiously at Chen Yang, looking as if he was ready to fight to the death.

However, the moment he saw Chen Yang raise his hand again, he scrambled to his feet and fled, rushing out of the office in an instant.

"Coward!"

Chen Yang jeered, then said with one hand in his pocket while giving Qin Qiu a casual wave, "Honey, I'm off."

Qin Qiu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and crossed her arms, a slight smile touching her lips.

This guy is so reckless! He even dares to hit Qin Song!

「In a luxury suite at a hotel.」

SMACK.

A heavyset woman in a black dress slammed a photograph down on the coffee table in front of Li Si. "Li Si, oh Li Si, you've got some nerve!" she said coldly. "You dared to find yourself a man without my permission? I guess you don't want a career anymore."

In the photo, Li Si, her mask pulled down, was in an intimate embrace with a man. Her entire face was captured clearly, but due to the angle, only the man's back was visible.

Li Si glanced at the photo and frowned. "Who took this?"

"The paparazzi, of course! Luckily, Young Master Zou Wendong managed to get his hands on it first. Otherwise, do you have any idea what the fallout would have been?" The plump woman, Li Si's agent Yang Chun, scolded her with one hand on her hip, the other pointing accusingly.

Li Si sneered. "I think Zou Wendong was the one who took it, wasn't he?"

"Stop spouting nonsense! Get ready. You're coming with me to meet Young Master Zou Wendong."
