The account manager returned to his office and said to his colleagues, “I thought he’d be a premium client, but it turns out he’s just an idiot.
He actually told me to get President Deng to meet him.
I have no idea where he gets the nerve to spout such nonsense here.”
“No way.
Is he really an idiot?
No one in Jin City would dare say something like that.”
“He didn’t look like he had something wrong with his head.
Could he be some young master from the Capital City?
Maybe we should inform them just in case.”
“Look at how shabbily he’s dressed.
How could he possibly be a young master from the Capital City?
If he hadn’t driven up in a Mercedes, who would’ve even bothered with him?”
The few people in the office gossiped about Lin Haochen, but in the end, no one went to notify Deng Wenbin.
Before long, Lin Haochen suddenly looked up to see a pot-bellied, middle-aged man with his head wrapped in gauze stepping out of the elevator.
The middle-aged man recognized Lin Haochen as well.
His expression changed abruptly as he walked up to him and said coldly, “Kid, you better remember this.
You’re going to pay for what you did today!”
“It seems I was a little too gentle this morning.
You didn’t learn your lesson.”
Lin Haochen put down the magazine in his hands and said calmly.
The simple act of Lin Haochen putting down the magazine made Li Hongrui stumble back three steps, thinking Haochen was about to hit him again.
“Hmph.
I hear you’re the brother of that bitch, Lin Mushu.
In three days, Muchen Group will go bankrupt.
Let’s see how arrogant you can be then!
However, if you can deliver your sister to my bed, I might consider leaving a way out for you two!”
‘He really hasn’t learned his lesson.
How dare he still have designs on my sister!’
The moment the words left Li Hongrui’s mouth, there was a loud SMACK as Lin Haochen smashed the magazine in his hand against Li Hongrui’s bandaged head.
“AH!
You—you—you’re looking for death!
Security!
Security, get over here and take him down!”
Li Hongrui shouted, clutching his face, which was now bleeding from where Lin Haochen had hit him.
This was the Qihui Conglomerate, not Muchen Group.
These security guards weren’t Muchen Group’s people!
Hearing Li Hongrui, two security guards ran over with batons.
The account managers from before and the lobby manager also rushed over to see what the commotion was about.
“Break his hands for me!
If anything happens, I, Li Hongrui, will take full responsibility!”
With the guards by his side, Li Hongrui’s confidence surged.
‘I couldn’t deal with you at Muchen Group, but here?
It’ll be a piece of cake.’
“Well, well, isn’t this the guy who boasted that he wanted our President Deng to meet him personally?
Turns out he’s just the brother of Muchen Group’s chairman.
And here I thought he was some big shot!”
The account manager from before strode over and sneered.
He’d disliked Haochen from the start, and now that he knew Haochen wasn’t a big shot and was even enemies with Li Hongrui, what was there to be afraid of?
“You think you’re worthy of President Deng meeting you personally?
You must not know that the bitch Lin Mushu begged for half a month and couldn’t even get a single meeting with President Deng, right?
You really don’t know your place!”
Li Hongrui sneered, signaling the two guards to make their move.
The guards knew who Li Hongrui was, so they didn’t hesitate, advancing on Lin Haochen with their batons raised.
But Lin Haochen just revealed a cold smile and said, “Call my sister a bitch again, and I’ll kill your entire family.”
“Looks like you’re all talk!
I’d like to see how you’re going to kill my entire family!
Goddammit, does a punk like you really think you can turn the world upside down?
Beat him senseless!”
He was still acting so arrogant at a time like this.
Li Hongrui was absolutely livid and urged the guards to hurry up and attack.
Just as the two guards reached Lin Haochen, a deep, middle-aged man’s voice suddenly boomed from behind the crowd.
“What are you all doing!
Crowding around like this, what a disgrace!”
Everyone turned around.
The newcomer was none other than the head of Qihui Long Country, Deng Wenbin!
Deng Wenbin wore an expensive suit and had an imposing posture.
He looked incredibly sharp, the very picture of a true financial tycoon and business elite—a stark contrast to Li Hongrui’s pot-bellied figure.
“President Deng!
This kid is causing trouble here!
Not only did he injure President Li, but he also boasted that you had to personally meet him.
He was even spouting some nonsense about being the Netherworld King.
He’s unbelievably arrogant!”
The moment the account manager saw Deng Wenbin, he immediately ran over to report, already imagining the miserable state Lin Haochen would be in shortly.
Li Hongrui also turned around at once, bowing to Deng Wenbin and saying obsequiously, “President Deng, it’s just a small matter.
Don’t trouble yourself over it.
I can handle it.”
But Deng Wenbin seemed not to have heard a word they said.
The instant he saw Lin Haochen, his face paled.
Deng Wenbin, a man always known for his composure and calm, was, at this moment, utterly panicked.
Ignoring everyone, Deng Wenbin frantically pushed aside the account manager next to him and stumbled toward Lin Haochen, his steps unsteady.
“President Deng?
President Deng?
Sir?”
Watching the panicked Deng Wenbin stumbling forward, Li Hongrui felt a knot of anxiety tighten in his chest.
‘Could it be?
Is this Lin Haochen really someone extraordinary?’
‘But there can’t be many people in this world capable of making Deng Wenbin so flustered, right?’
‘After all, this was a top tycoon in the financial world, a director of the Qihui Conglomerate!’
‘The head of Qihui Long Country!’
‘The idea that Deng Wenbin would lose his composure over a young man barely in his twenties…
it was just unbelievable!’
“President Deng, what are you—”
Before Li Hongrui could finish his sentence, Deng Wenbin arrived in front of Lin Haochen.
And what happened next made everyone stare in utter disbelief.
