38: chance encounter

At 2:00 PM, the two of them arrived at the bidding venue right on time.

At this moment, quite a few people were already outside the venue, lining up to enter.

Qin Yang didn't disturb Wei Liang; he took Deng Yue by the hand and joined the back of the line.

Standing in front of Qin Yang were two well-dressed middle-aged men. Seeing someone line up behind them, they subconsciously turned around to glance, only to discover they were acquaintances.

"Deng Yue? Why are you here?" one of them asked in surprise.

Deng Yue also saw the other party at this moment. She was stunned for a second, but quickly regained her composure. After glancing at the person behind them, she said with a flat expression, "So it's Vice General Manager Qi and Supervisor Liu. I am here, naturally, to participate in the bidding."

"Heh, that's certainly bold. Deng Yue, I heard that after you resigned, you opened a small advertising company yourself. You don't actually think that any company can bid on a project of this scale, do you?" Before Vice General Manager Qi could speak, Supervisor Liu, standing behind him, laughed first. The sarcasm in his words was something anyone could understand.

"Whether or not I can bid is no concern of yours, Supervisor Liu. But I can say for certain that you will definitely return empty-handed today!"

Qin Yang, standing to the side, understood where these two were coming from. However, Qin Yang certainly couldn't tolerate someone mocking his woman right in front of him, so he interjected to counter-attack.

"Oh? Big talk. Who are you?" Vice General Manager Qi interjected at this moment.

"Me?" Qin Yang pointed at himself, then pulled Deng Yue into his embrace and continued, "I am her man. Is there a problem?"

Seeing that Qin Yang was so young and dressed quite ordinarily, the two thought he was just a wet-behind-the-ears kid trying to play the hero. They exchanged glances and laughed, then turned back around. The disdain was obvious, and they didn't stop talking: "Young people these days really don't know the heights of the sky or the depths of the earth. Heh, after hitting a few walls, they'll realize this business isn't so easy to do, and society isn't so easy to navigate. A newly opened small advertising company wants to come here and take a bite of the meat? Even if the bid were given to you, you wouldn't even be able to afford the upfront capital!"

"General Manager Qi is right. People are afraid of not knowing their place. I think this small company will probably fold within a month."

The two sang in harmony, which really infuriated Deng Yue. She wanted to step forward to argue, but was held back by Qin Yang. With so many people watching, getting into a loud argument would cause more than just the other party to lose face. But Qin Yang was not the type to let things slide. After whispering a few words into Deng Yue's ear, he managed to calm her down.

Deng Yue's little face was flushed with anger. Qin Yang patted her little head, signaling her to be patient.

Then, Qin Yang walked straight toward the staff member who was organizing the entry to the venue at another entrance to the front right.

"Little Zhou, you still recognize me, right?" Qin Yang said with a smile.

"General Manager Qin, you've arrived! Oh my, why are you lining up here? I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry. I've been a bit busy here and didn't notice you. I'll take you in right away." The man named Little Zhou looked up, saw it was Qin Yang, and immediately replied enthusiastically.

This Little Zhou was one of Wei Liang's assistants and had met Qin Yang a few times with Wei Liang.

"No need, I'll just line up. Are you in charge here today?"

"That's right, General Manager Qin. General Manager Wei instructed me to be responsible for the coordination of the entry." Little Zhou replied honestly.

Qin Yang didn't hide anything and said directly, "I had a bit of a conflict with two people while I was lining up just now. I don't want to see them inside. Can you handle this?"

"Ah? There are people who dare to offend you, General Manager Qin?" Hearing this, Little Zhou was very surprised. He had been by Wei Liang's side for a long time and was one of Wei Liang's trusted confidants. Naturally, he understood the relationship between Wei Liang and Qin Yang, and he knew a little bit about what Qin Yang had roughly done during his rise. In his eyes, anyone who dared to offend a person like Qin Yang must be quite bold!

"Just two minor characters. It's normal that they don't recognize me. Tell me, can you handle it? If you can't, I'll find someone else." Qin Yang put away his smile and replied.

"Of course I can handle it, General Manager Qin. Just tell me who they are." Seeing that Qin Yang was getting a bit impatient, Little Zhou replied quickly. The reason Little Zhou dared to say this was that basically everyone who came to the venue today was asking for something from Qingyang Real Estate and belonged to the downstream merchants of Qingyang Real Estate. Have you ever seen a cat afraid of a mouse?

"There, it's those two looking like humans but acting like dogs." Qin Yang tilted his chin toward the two surnamed Qi.

Little Zhou understood and then called the two security guards beside him and walked over.

Just as the two, Qi and Liu, hadn't yet understood what was going on, they heard Little Zhou say sternly: "Sorry, gentlemen, because you two have offended the most distinguished guest of our Qingyang Real Estate, it has now been decided to cancel your company's bidding qualifications. Now, please leave!"

"Ah? Sir, did you mistake us for someone else? We've been lining up here and haven't gone anywhere." Vice General Manager Qi was completely dumbfounded. Just now, he and Supervisor Liu had been busy ridiculing Deng Yue and Qin Yang and hadn't noticed Qin Yang leaving.

"There is no mistake; it is you two. I am the most distinguished guest he mentioned. Is there a problem? Also, I said that your company would definitely return empty-handed today. Look, I did what I said, didn't I? Heh!" At this moment, Qin Yang had returned and said while putting his arm around Deng Yue's shoulder.

"You? Who exactly are you?" After hearing Qin Yang's words, Vice General Manager Qi's expression changed drastically. He truly hadn't expected that a completely ordinary, wet-behind-the-ears kid would actually have such great power and could actually influence a behemoth like Qingyang Real Estate.

"Who I am is not for you to know. Get lost. In the future, when you are out and about, keep your mouth in check. If there is a next time, not everyone will be as merciful as I am." Qin Yang replied, taking a glance at Little Zhou in passing.

Little Zhou was a smart person and understood Qin Yang's meaning in a second: "Gentlemen, please leave, otherwise we will have to forcibly remove you."

After Little Zhou finished speaking, the two security guards behind him also moved forward. Seeing this, the two, Qi and Liu, looked as wilted as eggplants hit by frost. They opened their mouths but in the end, didn't say anything and could only leave in a sorry state.

Watching their sorry retreating figures, Qin Yang said to Deng Yue with a smile: "How about it? Is that satisfying enough for you this time?"

At this moment, Deng Yue was still stunned. She couldn't figure out how, after just walking around, Qin Yang had kicked out the two who were just flaunting their power a moment ago. Her boyfriend was a bit too amazing!

Seeing that Deng Yue didn't reply, Qin Yang didn't rush her and smiled at Little Zhou: "Thanks. If you have any trouble in the future, you can give me a call."

"You're welcome, General Manager Qin. It was just a small favor." Little Zhou said humbly.

The matter here also attracted the attention of the people around. Qin Yang, who originally wanted to line up, thought about it and decided against it. He didn't want to be watched like a panda, so he took Deng Yue and followed behind Little Zhou, walking straight into the venue.

After entering the venue, Deng Yue finally snapped out of it and looked at Qin Yang with admiration: "Hubby, I've discovered that you've changed!"

"Oh? How so?"

"Suddenly become so amazing, so amazing!"

This sentence made Qin Yang laugh out loud instantly.

"Heh, haven't I always been amazing?" Qin Yang said with a smile, raising his eyebrows.

"Oh, I'm talking to you seriously. You're so annoying!"

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. What conflict do those two guys have with you?"

"They are just two idiots from the company I resigned from. One is a Vice General Manager, the other is a Supervisor. Relying on having a little power, they spent every day making life difficult for us subordinates. Before I resigned, I talked back to them a few times, so they held a grudge against me." Deng Yue spread her hands and explained.

Qin Yang nodded, indicating he understood. In this society, there are so many people like this. When they see someone with a higher status, they suck up to them, and when they see someone with a lower status than themselves, they order them around like dogs.
