Chapter 37: Apologizing to Young Master Zheng

"I'll just curse whoever chimes in. If you want to take it personally, don't blame me."

Chang Rui curled his lips, his face full of disdain and contempt.

Slap!

Zheng Qian stepped forward and landed a slap across his face.

Caught completely off guard, Chang Rui stumbled and fell directly to the ground; his wine glass shattered, staining his white suit all over.

This slap had completely stunned Chang Rui.

He never dreamed that Zheng Qian would dare to be so direct and attack him in front of everyone.

Zheng Qian's actions caused quite a commotion, and the guests all turned their eyes toward him.

Even Jin Lu stood there, stunned.

Zheng Qian actually slapped Chang Rui directly?

Yao Manman hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Rui Rui, are you okay?"

Immediately after, she glared at Zheng Qian with venomous eyes: "Zheng Qian, are you fucking crazy? How dare you hit someone?"

"I'm fine. This brat is dead meat, damn it!"

"Still cursing, huh?" Taking advantage of the fact that Chang Rui hadn't steadied himself yet, Zheng Qian kicked him a few meters away, leaving a very obvious shoe print on Chang Rui's clothes.

"Rui Rui! Zheng Qian, you fucking..." Seeing this scene, Yao Manman felt that Zheng Qian had gone mad.

She rushed in front of Zheng Qian, wanting to slap him to bring him to his senses.

A pair of fair hands grabbed Yao Manman's wrist.

With a set of grappling moves, Jin Lu pinned Yao Manman to the ground, unable to move.

"Holy crap, this woman can fight?"

"That looks like Chang Dashan's son, right? He and his woman just got beaten up like that?"

"Who are these two? They look unfamiliar."

Everyone present, including Zheng Qian, was dumbfounded.

Jin Lu actually knew grappling?

"Lu Lu, stop for now." Uncle Hou stepped out from the crowd at this moment and pulled Jin Lu back.

Chang Rui and Yao Manman were finally able to get up.

"You're done for, both of you are done for!" Chang Rui angrily picked up his phone and started making a call.

"President Zheng, what on earth is going on? How did a fight break out?" Uncle Hou had just entered the hotel when he saw this scene.

"That guy has a dirty mouth, he was asking for a beating," Zheng Qian said bitterly.

"Let me give you the lowdown: Chang Rui is Chang Dashan's son..." Uncle Hou whispered to Zheng Qian about Chang Rui's background. "President Zheng, what do you think we should do now?"

Uncle Hou's question was essentially useless; even he had heard of Chang Rui's debauchery. Since Zheng Qian had already hit him, no matter what Zheng Qian wanted to do, this matter wouldn't be resolved so easily.

"How about this, I'll hold him off for you, and you two leave first." Uncle Hou felt this was the safest approach for the moment.

Chang Rui was still on the phone, while the person in charge here at Yuntang International called over a team of security guards. After briefly explaining the situation, they surrounded the three of them.

This group of security guards were all retired special forces personnel, hired by Wangyue Island at a great expense.

Even for Jin Lu, it would be impossible to take on so many alone.

"What's going on?"

A man suddenly walked in from the main entrance, his stride vigorous and imposing.

"Boss Han, you must stand up for me!"

Seeing Boss Han, Chang Rui was the first to rush up.

When Boss Han saw that the person in conflict with Chang Rui was actually Zheng Qian, he was surprised.

"President Zheng, what happened?"

Boss Han couldn't be bothered to listen to Chang Rui's one-sided story; it was better to go directly and ask Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian briefly explained the situation.

Boss Han nodded wisely.

On one side was the playboy Chang Rui, the son of Chang Dashan.

On the other side was Zheng Qian, Chen Weiqiang's Vice President, whose strength and background he hadn't fully figured out yet.

After all, it was Zheng Qian who struck first, but Chang Rui's mouth was truly filthy; both sides had their own justifications.

It just depended on who he helped.

Chang Dashan was in the timber business and was considered one of the well-known wealthy merchants in Yebai, and he had some acquaintance with him.

Zheng Qian was a young man Boss Han had recently wanted to get to know, as he should have a bright future ahead.

This matter was a bit tricky.

The former had no conflict of interest with him, nor any business dealings; they were just warm when they met, but in reality, they were like well water and river water—separate entities.

The latter, Zheng Qian, had quite a lot of capital in his hands; although there were no business dealings now, who knows what might happen in the future.

After a brief consideration, Boss Han decided to help Zheng Qian.

"Chang Rui, your mouth really is foul. Even such good red wine can't shut your mouth, huh?"

"Why aren't you apologizing to Young Master Zheng yet?"

"Boss Han, you... what did you say?" Chang Rui's face turned pale and then green, doubting he had heard correctly.

Boss Han said word for word, clearly: "Are you deaf? I said, apologize to Young Master Zheng."

Make him apologize to Zheng Qian?

Yao Manman also had a look of disbelief.

Chang Rui had told her before how good the relationship between the owner here, Boss Han, and his father, Chang Dashan, was. So why was he making Chang Rui apologize to Zheng Qian now?

Did Boss Han even know Zheng Qian?

Even if he did, as long as he weighed the pros and cons slightly in his heart, he should have made Zheng Qian apologize to Chang Rui!

Jin Lu stood there, stunned; she also hadn't expected Boss Han to actually speak up for Zheng Qian.

Generally speaking, if one couldn't afford to offend either side, shouldn't one act as a peacemaker and smooth things over?

It seems this boyfriend of hers is even more impressive than Chang Dashan!

She was even more convinced of her thoughts: what she knew was merely the tip of the iceberg of Zheng Qian.

Even some of the bystanders were a bit dizzy. Who on earth was this kid that he could make Boss Han risk offending Chang Dashan to stand up for him?

"Oh, no, it's not just apologizing to Young Master Zheng; you also need to apologize to this beautiful lady beside Young Master Zheng." Boss Han spoke with a booming voice, not sounding like he was joking with Chang Rui at all.

"Boss Han, you..."

"What 'you' what? Don't you understand?"

"Even if your old man came, he would have to respectfully toast me a glass of wine and call me Big Brother Han. You don't have much face here with me."

"You, in my territory, actively provoking a guest I invited, that is not giving me face."

"You can ask your old man if he dares to do this here."

"I can tell you, Chang Rui, if you don't want to apologize, I will have people pin you down in front of Young Master Zheng. By then, the situation won't be like this."

Boss Han issued an ultimatum.

Chang Rui was scared and instinctively took two steps back. He looked at the few security guards beside Boss Han, who seemed to be truly waiting for his command to pin him down in front of Zheng Qian.

Finally, after a difficult internal struggle, Chang Rui slowly walked in front of Zheng Qian and Jin Lu and said extremely reluctantly: "Young Master Zheng, Miss Jin, I'm sorry."

The look Chang Rui gave the two was full of venom, his face filled with hatred.

The whole venue was suddenly in an uproar.
