"Hahaha, let me handle this matter!"
Zhang Shaojie's voice followed closely as he strode into the Qiao Family home.
Upon seeing Zhang Shaojie, Pang Xiuyun couldn't help but express her delight, "Young Master Zhang, do you have a solution?"
Zhang Shaojie replied nonchalantly, "Previously, Sun Xingzhang, the president of Zhonghai Bank, loaned twenty billion to our Zhang Group."
"This twenty billion, he practically begged my father to accept it."
"I'll just ask him to resolve this issue; it's a simple matter!"
Qi Dengxian found it amusing. During a conversation between Sun Xingzhang and Huang Wenlang, it was mentioned that the Zhang Group was already struggling financially and on the brink of bankruptcy.
Sun Xingzhang had long rejected the Zhang Group's loan request, yet in Zhang Shaojie's narrative, it turned into Sun Xingzhang pleading for the Zhang Group to accept the loan.
In the past, the Zhang Group, being a quality enterprise, might have had a chance, but now...
Qi Dengxian could only shake his head.
The key issue was that the Qiao Family believed Zhang Shaojie's words without question, treating them as gospel, which left him quite helpless.
"Mengmeng, just focus on your work. Leave these troublesome matters to me!" Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.
"Alright, thank you, Brother Zhang!" Qiao Qiumeng nodded.
Zhang Shaojie smiled, thinking to himself, "Anyway, in a couple of days, I'll probably be heading to America. One last scam before I leave won't hurt..."
Qiao Guotao was still insistent on having Qi Dengxian work at the Qiao Group, but Qi Dengxian continued to find excuses.
"You must find a job that satisfies me, or else you'll have to work at the Qiao Group! That's my order!" Qiao Guotao finally became serious.
"Uh... alright!" Qi Dengxian reluctantly nodded, agreeing while already starting to ponder.
He didn't stay at the Qiao Family for dinner but headed straight to the Xiang Corporation.
Xu Aoxue was planning to take action against the Xiang Corporation, and even Yu Xiaolong would be involved. Qi Dengxian wanted to fulfill his promise to Old Xiang and also give Yu Xiaolong, that arrogant woman, a wake-up call!
"I'm here to see President Xiang!" Qi Dengxian said directly at the front desk of the Xiang Corporation.
"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist hesitantly asked. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Qi Dengxian replied, "Tell her I'm sent by Xiang Donglei; she'll see me."
The receptionist had heard of "Xiang Donglei" and knew it was a taboo name within the company. She turned pale and didn't dare make a decision on her own, so she called upstairs to report.
Qi Dengxian glanced around and saw a disheveled middle-aged man in a wrinkled black suit entering the elevator, causing him to frown slightly.
The receptionist put down the phone, looked at Qi Dengxian awkwardly, and said, "President Xiang said..."
"What did she say?" Qi Dengxian asked.
"President Xiang said to get lost," the receptionist awkwardly replied.
Qi Dengxian's expression darkened. As expected, after all these years, Xiang Dongqing still couldn't forgive Old Xiang for his past actions.
If Old Xiang had conducted business honestly back then, without resorting to shady dealings, the Xiang Family wouldn't have lost so many people.
Qi Dengxian took advantage of the moment when no one was watching and slipped into the stairwell. If Xiang Dongqing wasn't potentially in danger, he wouldn't have resorted to this method.
Running up the stairs, Qi Dengxian's physical fitness was astonishing, allowing him to reach the top faster than the elevator!
Before long, he arrived at the nineteenth floor.
Outside the chairman's office was a small desk, where a pretty secretary was reviewing documents.
Qi Dengxian approached, and the secretary immediately stood up, frowning, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to see President Xiang," Qi Dengxian said calmly.
"Do you have an appointment?" the secretary asked again.
"No, Xiang Donglei sent me," Qi Dengxian replied.
Upon hearing the name, the secretary's expression changed, turning grim, "Didn't we just say, leave! President Xiang doesn't want to hear that name, so please leave immediately! Otherwise, I'll call security or the police to deal with you!"
Qi Dengxian chuckled, "Your boss is in danger. Are you sure you want to deal with me first?"
The secretary's expression darkened further, thinking Qi Dengxian was making baseless threats.
"President Xiang is currently meeting with General Manager Wen from Xingxing Electronics Factory and has no time to see you! Moreover, since you're introduced by that troublemaker Xiang Donglei, she definitely won't see you! Your threats are useless!" the secretary said firmly.
The office door was well soundproofed, but faint sounds still seeped through.
He didn't bother talking to the secretary anymore. He took a step back, positioned himself, and aimed at the door.
"What are you doing?!" the secretary exclaimed in shock, not expecting someone to cause trouble here.
Qi Dengxian lifted his right foot, twisted his body, and delivered a powerful kick to the door. With a loud bang, the entire door flew open!
"This door is supported by the most advanced bulletproof and explosion-proof technology..." the secretary's mouth hung open in shock, unable to finish her sentence.
Inside, a man was covered in homemade explosives, standing fiercely in front of the desk, speaking passionately.
The commotion from the door startled the two people inside the office.
This man was the same disheveled middle-aged man Qi Dengxian had seen on the first floor.
Sitting behind the desk was Xiang Dongqing herself, dressed in a white professional blouse and a black pencil skirt, her long hair tied into a bun with a pencil, looking very capable. However, no matter how capable she appeared, it couldn't overshadow her stunning beauty.
At this moment, though, she seemed slightly flustered.
"Don't come any closer! If you take another step, we'll both go down together!" General Manager Wen, holding the explosives, shouted at Qi Dengxian, his eyes bloodshot, like a cornered beast.
Xiang Dongqing glanced at Qi Dengxian, then turned her head to General Manager Wen, "General Manager Wen, what you're asking for is something I absolutely cannot agree to. It's a matter of principle!"
"Xingxing Electronics Factory's cutting corners led to substandard products. That's your oversight, not the Xiang Corporation's problem."
General Manager Wen turned his head, gritting his teeth, "Xiang Dongqing, you bitch, won't you give me any way out?!"
Xiang Dongqing replied expressionlessly, "The path you chose has nothing to do with me."
General Manager Wen shouted angrily, "Then let's go down together!"
The scene inside the office left the secretary outside trembling with fear, collapsing to the ground.
Qi Dengxian, however, remained calm, hands in his pockets, silently observing.
"Fine, after all, surviving was just a stroke of luck for me, a worthless life. If I die, it'll be over, and I can join my parents!" Xiang Dongqing suddenly slammed the desk, standing up as if she held the explosives, her aura completely overshadowing General Manager Wen.
General Manager Wen's face turned pale at her words, his emotions even more agitated...
"What a woman, tougher than most men!" Qi Dengxian thought, slowly withdrawing his hands from his pockets.
