Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Apologize to Mr. Chen
Someone in the crowd recognized the old man and cried out in shock.
"The Bauhinia Commerce Association President, Wan Yunteng! What’s he doing here?"
"And he’s being so respectful to this young man!"
All the guests present were shocked, their eyes wide as they glanced repeatedly at Chen Qingdi.
"Wan, I want an explanation."
"Or else you know the consequences."
Chen Qingdi’s voice was cold.
Because of that one sentence, Wan Yunteng was scared half to death on the spot, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
’This young man before me is the President-General of the entire Bauhinia Commerce Association!’
The Bauhinia Commerce Association was spread across the country, while he was merely the president of a single branch.
In front of Chen Qingdi, he was less than nothing.
A single word from Chen Qingdi could make him lose all his wealth.
’And to think Zheng Zhiyi actually offended Chen Qingdi... A family like the Luo Family of Sea City could be exterminated for less!’
A murderous intent rose in Wan Yunteng’s heart.
"President-General, I will resolve this immediately!"
"Please, calm your anger."
Without another word, Wan Yunteng made a phone call.
In less than five minutes, a middle-aged man in a sharp suit rushed in.
Seeing the newcomer, Zheng Zhiyi immediately cried out in excitement.
"Cousin, you’re finally here!"
Zheng Zhiyi went right up to him, but the middle-aged man shoved him aside.
"Idiot! Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused me?!"
The middle-aged man cursed at him before hurrying over to Wan Yunteng.
"President, I don’t know these two at all."
"He’s not my cousin. He’s just a con man who uses my name to swindle and bluff his way around."
"Please, I beg you to investigate this matter and clear my name!"
The newcomer was none other than the Vice President of the Bauhinia Commerce Association, Xiao Changfeng.
Upon learning that Zheng Zhiyi and Ma Xiaorong had offended the President-General, Xiao Changfeng was scared half to death, wishing he could sever all ties with Zheng Zhiyi immediately.
’How could I have such a blind, clueless relative?’ The more Xiao Changfeng thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Oh? So you’re saying you don’t know them?"
Chen Qingdi asked, the corners of his mouth turned up in a mocking smile.
"Yes, Mr. Chen! I don’t know them at all!"
"I beg you to see the truth, Mr. Chen!"
Xiao Changfeng knelt on the floor, kowtowing desperately, the back of his shirt soaked with sweat.
"Smart move."
Chen Qingdi gave a knowing laugh and walked over to Zheng Zhiyi and Ma Xiaorong.
"Young Master Zheng, it seems your cousin doesn’t know you."
"Since that’s the case... after what you two did to my sister..."
"How should I punish you?"
Chen Qingdi let out a sinister laugh, his fierce gaze sweeping over them.
"How about this? I’ll give you two a chance."
"You, come here."
Chen Qingdi pointed at Zheng Zhiyi, motioning for him to approach.
Zheng Zhiyi didn’t want to go.
But when he saw Xiao Changfeng’s vicious glare, his heart trembled, and he walked over anyway.
"There isn’t a single cent on this card, but I’m still ’gifting’ it to you."
"You have no choice but to get on your knees and take it with your mouth, unless you want to terminate our partnership."
Hearing Chen Qingdi’s words, Zheng Zhiyi felt utterly humiliated.
But he didn’t dare to object.
Who could he blame? Chen Qingdi was an honored guest of the Bauhinia Commerce Association’s President, and the Zheng Family had a close partnership with the association.
He had no choice but to kneel.
THUD.
Zheng Zhiyi dropped to his knees, clamped the card in his mouth, and crawled between Chen Qingdi’s legs.
Chen Qingdi didn’t even bother to look at him. He simply ignored him and pointed at Ma Xiaorong.
Ma Xiaorong felt Chen Qingdi’s gaze on her, and her body instinctively stiffened.
"Chen Qingdi, what do you think you’re doing?"
"Let me tell you, Yi’s backer isn’t just Xiao Changfeng! If you dare touch me, just you wait for retaliation from that big shot!"
Ma Xiaorong kept backing away, trying to keep her distance from Chen Qingdi.
But Chen Qingdi advanced on her step by step, the look in his eyes utterly terrifying.
"I don’t care what kind of powerful backer you and Zheng Zhiyi have. You slapped Shiqi, and for that, I must repay you a thousand times over!"
"Chen Yuan, do it!"
As soon as Chen Qingdi gave the order, Chen Yuan instantly appeared in front of Ma Xiaorong and slapped her across the face.
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
A series of crisp slaps echoed throughout the hall.
All the guests present were so frightened they didn’t dare to move.
Chen Yuan’s slaps were vicious, leaving her face immediately covered in blood, swollen beyond recognition.
"This is just a small lesson for you. If you dare disrespect Miss Ye again, you’ll face the consequences!"
Without a second glance at her, Chen Yuan walked directly to Chen Qingdi’s side.
Chen Qingdi couldn’t be bothered with them either, pulling Ye Shi Yi out of the hall.
"President-General, shall I see you out?"
Wan Yunteng suddenly rushed out, came before Chen Qingdi, and spoke with utmost respect.
"No need. Also, fire that Xiao Changfeng. Keeping someone like him in the association will only be a liability in the long run."
Chen Qingdi said casually and got into the car.
[...]
「Yunting Mountain.」
A mountain shrouded in mist and clouds, like a paradise.
And on this mountain sat a gigantic villa, its grounds as vast as a Western castle.
After Chen Qingdi helped Ye Shi Yi out of the car.
The steward and security guards, who had already received word and were waiting outside, saw Chen Qingdi approach and shouted in unison.
"Welcome home, Master!"
Chen Qingdi waved his hand, dismissing the others but motioning for the steward to stay.
"Master, my surname is Li. You can call me Steward Li. From now on, I will be responsible for all your daily needs."
Steward Li said, bowing respectfully to Chen Qingdi.
"Do you have any women’s clothes here?"
Chen Qingdi asked Steward Li suddenly after glancing at Ye Shi Yi.
"Master, we have only prepared clothes for you. There are no women’s clothes here, but I can send someone to buy them now."
Steward Li answered truthfully.
