Chapter 79: Unfilial Son! Kneel before President Zheng!

"You unfilial son, why aren't you kneeling down to President Zheng yet?"

Chang Dashan struck Chang Rui's knees hard, forcing him to kneel before Zheng Qian as well.

Xia Xixi couldn't help but cover her mouth.

The Chairman and General Manager of Dafu Timber were actually kneeling directly to Zheng Qian?

This is just too ruthless!

But it also went to show that the card Zheng Qian had played had already grabbed Dafu Timber by the throat.

As long as Zheng Qian wanted to, he could make Dafu Timber disappear from Yebai at any time.

"Get up, get up quickly. If there's something to discuss, we can talk it over properly. What are you doing?" Zheng Qian feigned a look of bewilderment, but in reality, he was overjoyed.

Isn't your Dafu Timber so cocky?

Aren't you, Chang Dashan and Chang Rui, very arrogant?

Go ahead and be cocky again!

What? You can't be cocky anymore? You're kneeling?

Since you're kneeling, then everything is up for discussion.

"President Zheng, I am truly at my wit's end! I hope you can let bygones be bygones and cooperate with me again."

"President Chang, speak slowly. The sky hasn't fallen yet. What exactly is going on?" Zheng Qian was ecstatic inside.

Only now did they know to come to him when they were at their wit's end?

Chang Dashan tearfully recounted the difficulties Dafu Timber was facing, expressing his willingness to pay the breach of contract penalty to Zhengxin Shipyard, provided that they could guarantee their weekly shipment volume, in which case he would renew a one-year long-term contract with Zhengxin Shipyard.

"President Chang, it's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you, but our company's shipping schedule is currently packed. If you are in a hurry, you could use the Vice President's privilege to allocate two ten-thousand-ton cargo ships for you, but you would have to pay an expedited fee." Zheng Qian was taking advantage of their plight.

If you want Dafu Timber to survive, you must pay the price for what you have done before.

Not just you, Chang Dashan, but also your son, Chang Rui.

Zheng Qian would never forget what Chang Rui had done to him in this lifetime.

Chang Dashan was stunned for a moment.

You kid, you're really putting on a show!

If he wasn't in a hurry, would he have come to you?

Chang Dashan knew that Zheng Qian wanted to take this opportunity to raise prices, but he had no other choice. At this moment, he could only act like a leek, letting Zheng Qian's sickle swing over his head.

"Then let's triple the original rate. President Chang, can you accept that?"

"Triple? Are you crazy, you brat? You might as well just go rob a bank!" Upon hearing that the shipping fee would be tripled, Chang Rui stood up from the ground and pointed at Zheng Qian's nose, cursing.

"It seems the General Manager does not agree. Manager Li Tao, show them out." Zheng Qian said, preparing to leave.

Chang Dashan had already anticipated that Zheng Qian would make an exorbitant demand, but he hadn't expected him to triple the original shipping fee.

But what other options did he have right now?

If he didn't accept this condition, Dafu Timber's goods couldn't be shipped out, and he would only be able to sit in his office worrying.

Currently, only Zhengxin Shipyard in Yebai and Yenan Dock had the capability to transport Dafu Timber's goods to the island nation.

He had no choice but to endure it!

"President Zheng, my son is ignorant. Let me discipline him for you!"

Chang Dashan hadn't made a move until now, but once he did, he reopened the wounds on Chang Rui that had almost healed.

The thick bandages on Chang Rui's head were soaked with fresh blood again, and the air was filled with a pungent, bloody stench.

Chang Rui felt like crying but had no tears.

He felt that Zheng Qian was being too overbearing, which was why he had stood up to accuse Zheng Qian of being in the wrong.

He didn't expect to be beaten up by his father again.

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock on the door sounded, followed by Yao Manman's gentle and sweet voice.

"President Zheng, I have compiled a document. Do you have time to look at it now?"

"Come in."

"Ah!"

Upon seeing this scene, Yao Manman instinctively gasped and covered her cherry-red mouth.

"Chairman Chang is currently discussing business with us. Just leave the document on the table; President Zheng will look at it later." After Manager Li Tao gave the instruction, Yao Manman hurriedly placed the document on the table and exited the conference room.

Chang Rui couldn't believe that Zheng Qian would allow Yao Manman to come in and submit documents while he was being beaten by his old man.

His wretched appearance, kneeling and begging for mercy, had all been seen by this woman, Yao Manman.

What would she think of him?

Chang Rui cursed Zheng Qian incessantly in his heart.

"President Chang, please stop hitting him. I have another document to review later." Feeling that the timing was about right, Zheng Qian called a halt to Chang Dashan.

"The conditions I mentioned just now will not change. Whether you agree or not, you had better give me an answer now."

"I agree, I agree, I agree." Chang Dashan gasped for air.

"Good. Since you agree, you can just sign the contract with my secretary now."

When Xia Xixi placed the humiliating treaty before Chang Dashan, his expression showed a hint of shock, but he still signed his name at the end without hesitation.

"President Zheng, thank you for your great kindness!"

"Then I will take this unfilial son and leave. I won't disturb you any further!"

Chang Dashan kicked Chang Rui in the butt, and the two prepared to leave Zhengxin Shipyard.

Xia Xixi was a bit confused.

She had assumed that Chang Dashan would question if there was a mistake in such a contract, but he had only hesitated for a moment before signing it and even thanking Zheng Qian for his great kindness.

It was truly incomprehensible.

"Wait!" Zheng Qian called out to the two of them.

"President Zheng, do you have any other instructions?" At this moment, Chang Dashan had become like a dog to Zheng Qian.

"President Chen is being detained in Shanghai. Did you guys play a hand in that?"

This "you guys" really terrified Chang Dashan.

"President Zheng, the matter regarding President Chen was done by that brat Hu Yuebin. It has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

In reality, Hu Yuebin had instigated him to do it, but to distance himself from Yamei Group, Chang Dashan would never admit it even if it killed him. Anyway, Hu Yuebin wasn't there, so throwing all the blame on him was the right move.

"Don't say so much to me. I'll just ask one thing: can you pull some strings and get President Chen released?" Zheng Qian couldn't be bothered to listen to Chang Dashan's nonsense.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll call them right now and get President Chen released."

After making the call to Shanghai in front of Zheng Qian, Zheng Qian finally let the two leave.

As soon as the two left the company, Li Tao burst into wild laughter.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

Zheng Qian's approach was truly praiseworthy.

Business warfare isn't child's play; using some tactics is unavoidable. Moreover, the tactics Zheng Qian used were relatively proper, nothing underhanded.

Unlike a certain company that even specially established a "Special Office for Fighting Pinduoduo," dedicated to playing dirty tricks.

After exiting the office, Yao Manman felt a complex mix of emotions.

She was very glad that she had broken off relations with Chang Rui some time ago.

Otherwise, she might have ended up in the same situation as Chang Rui. Although she might not have been beaten in front of so many people, it would certainly have been a fate worse than death.

It seemed that the matter between her and Chang Rui would always be an insurmountable knot in Zheng Qian's heart.

Don't look at how he was polite to her in the company and even made her a regular employee, treating her like any other staff member.

But it still came back to what Zheng Qian said: business is business, and personal is personal.

Privately, he must surely hate her, right!
