"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuyan's expression changed drastically.
The Wang Family was one of the four major families in Pingjiang, and Wang Zhou was a core figure within the family. One could only imagine the immense impact of such a declaration.
"You are truly despicable," Xiao Yuyan said, her expression icy, rage burning in her eyes.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Mei laughed triumphantly. "Yuyan, I told you long ago not to go against the Wang Family."
"If you marry the young master of the Wang Family, you will never have to worry about food or clothing again. Such magnificent wealth is right in front of you, yet you insist on staying with a bumpkin like Shen Qing."
"Young Master Wang is a merciful man. As long as you go and apologize to him right now, I'm sure things can still be salvaged."
Xiao Yuyan's expression turned chillingly cold. "Impossible. I will never go beg him."
Zhang Mei grew angry. "Then go ahead and wait to die! Not a single company in Pingjiang will cooperate with you. I want to see how you plan to keep this business running."
Zhang Mei and Xiao Tong looked extremely smug, acting as if they had Xiao Yuyan completely in the palm of their hands, victory seemingly within their grasp.
Yet at that very moment, Shen Qing, who had remained silent all this time, let out a chuckle.
"I thought it was something serious. Turns out it's just a cheap trick."
"His Wang Family's influence is indeed strong, but Pingjiang is not his Wang Family's personal domain!" Shen Qing sneered.
Xiao Tong's tone was mocking. "Shen Qing, what do you think you are to be talking like that? In front of the Wang Family, you're nothing more than a bumpkin."
"I'd love to see how you plan to turn things around for Yuyan this time."
The husband and wife looked immensely pleased with themselves, entirely convinced they had already won.
Right at that moment, however, a voice rang out, reaching their ears.
"If no one is going to help Master Shen, then I will."
Hearing this, Zhang Mei scoffed. "Who dares to make such a bold claim? Do you have any idea what kind of influence the Wang Family has?"
As her voice trailed off, the crowd parted on their own, and Chen Feng walked in from the outside with an icy expression.
"President Chen!"
Seeing that it was actually Chen Feng, Xiao Tong and Zhang Mei were utterly astonished.
Neither of them expected the person showing up here to be Chen Feng.
Who was Chen Feng? He was the chairman of Fengming Group, not only a member of the Chen Family, but someone with a personal net worth exceeding one billion.
Even without considering the influence of the Chen Family behind him, Chen Feng himself was a prominent and influential figure in Pingjiang.
How could such a big shot possibly show up here?
Their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately realized something was wrong.
"Shen Qing, when did you get mixed up with President Chen?" Zhang Mei asked in disbelief.
Chen Feng stepped forward. "Miss Xiao, you don't need to worry. From now on, I will be partnering with you."
"I, Chen Feng, am still somewhat of a figure in Pingjiang. I can guarantee that your company will continue to thrive and grow."
Xiao Yuyan was both surprised and delighted. "Thank you, President Chen."
"No need to thank me. I'm only doing this out of respect for Master Shen," Chen Feng replied with a smile.
His words filled the couple with shock and anger; they never imagined that someone would suddenly burst in and disrupt their plans halfway through.
Zhang Mei grew somewhat flustered and quickly brought up Wang Zhou. "President Chen, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"
"Young Master Wang has already stated—"
Before she could finish, Chen Feng directly cut her off.
"What is Wang Zhou supposed to be? If he has a problem with this, he can come and find me himself."
"I, Chen Feng, am backing this company. Anyone who dares to make a move against Miss Xiao will certainly not escape my wrath." Chen Feng stated his position without the slightest hesitation.
At this, Xiao Tong and his wife were left completely helpless.
"Shen Qing, how on earth did you get involved with President Chen?" Zhang Mei gnashed her teeth.
Heh!
Shen Qing chuckled playfully. "That has nothing to do with you."
"You'd better worry about yourselves instead. Now get out of here!"
Zhang Mei flew into a rage. "Shen Qing, you're going too far!"
"You've humiliated us time and time again. You are truly arrogant and lawless."
Shen Qing's expression remained ice-cold, completely ignoring Zhang Mei's words.
"So what if I humiliate you? Anyone who dares to touch my Third Senior Sister is an enemy of mine, Shen Qing."
"Get lost right now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhang Mei's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help retreating step by step, feeling as though her cheek was still faintly throbbing with pain.
Both of them were burning with rage, but faced with the threats from Shen Qing and Chen Feng, they were too cowed to do anything.
Seeing that the situation had completely spiraled out of control, the two knew that staying here any longer would yield no advantage.
Despite their lingering resentment, Xiao Tong and Zhang Mei had no choice but to slink away in defeat.
"Shen Qing, just you wait! We'll be telling Young Master Wang about this, and you're as good as finished!" Zhang Mei hurled a parting threat.
The two quickly hurried out of the company, their figures soon vanishing from everyone's sight.
With the two clowns gone, the office finally quieted down.
The three of them retreated into the office.
"President Chen, thank you for your help," Xiao Yuyan expressed her gratitude once again.
Chen Feng smiled. "It's nothing. Master Shen saved my life, so helping out is only right."
"Miss Xiao, send someone over to my company later, and we can discuss the partnership in detail."
Xiao Yuyan happily agreed. "Alright."
Meanwhile, after leaving the company, Xiao Tong and Zhang Mei hurried to find Wang Zhou.
They made their way all the way to a teahouse, and before long, Wang Zhou appeared.
"Young Master Wang."
"Young Master Wang."
The two hurriedly stood up.
Wang Zhou looked at them with dissatisfaction. "What is the meaning of this? Didn't I tell you to go find Xiao Yuyan?"
Xiao Tong quickly explained, recounting everything that had just happened.
"What? Chen Feng interfered?" Wang Zhou was startled, his expression instantly turning gloomy.
Zhang Mei chimed in, "Young Master Wang, Chen Feng is probably only helping because of Shen Qing."
"That bumpkin somehow managed to hook up with Chen Feng, and now with Chen Feng backing them, there's simply nothing we can do to Xiao Yuyan."
Wang Zhou's gaze turned chillingly cold. "What a brilliant little obstructionist, getting in my way twice in a row."
"What exactly is this fellow's background?"
Xiao Tong shook his head. "Unclear. We only know he is Yuyan's junior martial brother."
He said worriedly, "Young Master Wang, this Shen Qing is quite troublesome. He probably won't be easy to deal with."
Hmph!
Wang Zhou sneered. "He's just a common bumpkin. I was careless before, which is how he managed to take advantage."
"No need to worry. I'll have him dead by tonight!"
With that, Wang Zhou pulled out his phone and made a call.
"Master Liu, I've run into a bit of trouble on my end and need your help!"
...
Evening arrived quickly, and Shen Qing and Xiao Yuyan went to a restaurant for dinner.
They had booked a private dining room, but just as they were stepping through the doorway, a small child suddenly rushed past from the side, accidentally bumping into Shen Qing.
"Mister, I'm so sorry," the child apologized hurriedly.
Shen Qing smiled and shook his head. "It's fine, just be a bit more careful next time."
Giving it no further thought, he turned and walked into the private room with Xiao Yuyan.
The child hurried away, making his way all the way outside the restaurant, where a commercial van was parked prominently by the curb.
"Master, I got it!" The child smiled, pulling the item out.
