101: conflict
The two of them found a nearby restaurant, finished lunch, and then got into the car to drive to the hotel.
Just now, President Qin, whom they had been waiting for, finally sent word, making an appointment to talk with him at two in the afternoon.
Upon hearing this, he knew in his heart that the matter was as good as settled!
He bought tomorrow's flight tickets in advance, preparing to go to Yang City to deal with the biggest trouble first. He would leave Zhejiang Province to Old Fourth and the others; it would be faster if they handled the wrap-up after he returned.
Feng Qiqi was tirelessly editing her photos; although she was the only one in them, the person who took the photos was different!
Feeling very satisfied, she arranged a nine-grid grid and posted it to her Moments.
Little Green Tea collapsed onto the bed as soon as she returned to the hotel room. Hangzhou City was exceptionally hot today, and after wandering for the whole morning, she was already exhausted.
Jiang Chuan had already packed his luggage yesterday. He went into the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and sat on the sofa waiting for Old Fourth to come and meet them.
"Are you still going this afternoon?"
"Yes!"
Feng Qiqi relied on her immense willpower to leave the bed's embrace. She had sweated too much and needed to wash up.
Jiang Chuan knew how long she took to shower, so he stood up to help her pack. Before she could come out, Old Fourth's call had already come through, so he had no choice but to drag her out of the bathroom.
Being caught red-handed, Feng Qiqi had no choice but to follow him out obediently. Seeing that her luggage was already packed, she hugged him and nuzzled against his chest, acting spoiled, "I love you to death~ I'll reward you when we get back tonight!"
"Hurry up and get ready, Old Fourth is waiting for us downstairs."
"Okay~"
She put on the clothes he had left out of the suitcase, put her touch-up makeup into her bag, took his arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go! Let's take down that President Qin!"
The location President Qin gave was a coffee shop. It wasn't too far away, and the three of them reached the quaint shop in half an hour.
There were already two cars in the parking lot: a Range Rover and a blue Lamborghini.
Pan Renxing pointed at the Range Rover parked at the coffee shop entrance and said, "That's President Qin's car. It seems he's quite eager."
"Then let's go in and see what he has to say."
Jiang Chuan led the two into the coffee shop. Guided by a waiter, they went to a private room on the second floor. Without knocking, he pushed the door open and walked right in.
Besides President Qin, there were two other people in the room. A young man was reclining on the sofa, holding a pretty girl sitting beside him. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three of them looked over in unison.
Seeing that the people he was waiting for had arrived, President Qin stood up, shook hands with them, and introduced them with a smile:
"President Jiang, this is the son of Yuanchuang Investment Company, Zhao Shihang. He is very interested in your project, so he came along today."
Jiang Chuan was here to cooperate, so he didn't put on airs. He reached out and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhao, hello. I am Jiang Chuan from Starlight."
Zhao Shihang remained reclined on the sofa, ignoring the extended hand.
Instead, he sized up the only girl among the three, finally showing a bit of interest. While fondling the female companion beside him, he asked teasingly:
"What's your name, beautiful? Leave your contact info. I just opened a new bar; let's go out and have some fun tonight?"
The girl sitting beside him showed no emotion, clearly having grown used to it, as she looked at this beautiful new prey with pity.
Although Feng Qiqi was angry, she also knew how important this cooperation was to Jiang Chuan, so she followed closely behind him without responding.
Qin Siyuan stood there awkwardly. He couldn't afford to offend Yuanchuang, but he still wanted to cooperate with Starlight, so he could only try to smooth things over, "Young Master Zhao, stop joking. Everyone is here, let's talk business."
Zhao Shihang cracked his neck, making a creaking sound, and pointed at him, shouting, "Do you even have a say here in Hangzhou City? If I'm joking, do you even dare to laugh?"
He had been fuming for the past few days. He had seen a very beautiful woman at the company—wasn't everyone in the company his?
He had approached her with full confidence to hit on her, but the result was that she actually said he was a toad wanting to eat swan meat!
How could he tolerate this?
At Yuanchuang Investment, no one except his father could refuse him. He intended to use force, but who would have thought the woman would slap him across the face!
It wasn't that he didn't hit women, so they started fighting right then and there, but he ended up losing... As the chairman's son, firing a woman should have been simple. He went straight to his father to have her fired, but was beaten by his father instead... Now the whole company was laughing at him, and his life lately had been a total living hell.
He wasn't stupid; if he couldn't afford to provoke her, he could at least hide, so he simply stopped going to the company altogether.
But yesterday, that woman actually went through his father to find him, all to make him invest in some crappy live-streaming company!
Although he didn't dare not to come, after being bullied like that, how could he possibly be obedient?
His goal today was to completely sabotage this matter, which was why he put on the air of a profligate playboy and intentionally looked for trouble!
But he didn't expect the other party to be so tough. He was the son of the chairman of Yuanchuang; wherever he went, wasn't he an honored guest? Before he could even start looking for trouble, the other party's fist came flying!
Jiang Chuan hadn't heard of Yuanchuang, but even if the chairmen of the Four Major Investment Companies were here, he would have punched them without hesitation!
He was tall and strong, and this weak young master, who spent his nights in revelry, couldn't fight back at all. He could only hold his head and beg for mercy at the top of his lungs.
The female companion beside him was stunned; it was her first time seeing someone so bold. But what a great opportunity to show off! She shouted loudly, "Don't hit Shihang! If you want to hit someone, hit me!"
Her voice was incredibly loud, likely audible even on the first floor, but she didn't move an inch. She really wasn't willing to suffer even a bit.
The scene instantly fell into chaos—those pulling them apart, those acting, those watching the drama, and even someone sneaking in a few kicks.
Qin Siyuan was the most sincere. At his age, he used all his strength to separate the two and stood in the middle. He no longer had his previous poise, sighing incessantly with a face full of worry.
Seeing that someone had pulled that brute away, Zhao Shihang, with a bruised and swollen face, clamored, "You dare hit me! Do you know who I am? You're finished! I'm calling right now! Don't you dare leave!"
Since Jiang Chuan dared to act, he had already prepared his way out. How could he possibly leave? He sat on the sofa, shaking his slightly aching hand, and said, "I'm not leaving. Call whoever you want; I'm waiting for you."
Pan Renxing knew Old Third too well. Seeing him sit back on the sofa so calmly, he knew he had thought of a solution, so he also sat down and even took a handful of melon seeds.
Feng Qiqi was mostly moved. She could tell that the man had a significant background, yet he hadn't hesitated to act. She distressedly blew on his skinned knuckles.
Jiang Chuan and Zhao Shihang both picked up their phones to make calls, but before they could speak, the door was pushed open directly without anyone knocking.
A woman wearing a cream-white tight-fitting hip-hugging dress, white high heels, and glasses with shoulder-length short hair appeared.
A woman whose emotionless eyes put great pressure on anyone who met her gaze appeared before everyone!
