Qin Yi was sighing when Qin Wan’er pushed the door open and slipped in, carrying a bowl of rice in her hand.
"Brother, you haven’t eaten, right? I saved some food for you." Qin Wan’er, like offering a treasure, handed the bowl and chopsticks to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi gave a bitter smile. He was already full from eating at the Dong Family, mainly because Dong Huaiyu’s cooking skills were so good, he ate too much... But he still forced himself to eat all the rice in the bowl.
"Brother, I took Dong’s brother’s clothes to the dry cleaners today, it cost me three hundred yuan." Qin Wan’er said with a pained expression.
Ordinary clothes only cost a few dozen or a hundred yuan, but Dong Zhiping’s coat is worth a hundred thousand, so three hundred yuan is considered cheap. Qin Yi suddenly remembered something, Qin Wan’er’s phone had been broken, he got busy and forgot, tomorrow he should get Qin Wan’er a phone, that’s the right thing to do.
"Brother, the clothes are back from the cleaners, could you come with me to return them to Dong’s brother?"
Qin Yi asked in surprise, "What’s wrong, are you afraid of Dong’s brother?"
"Not really, but sister-in-law said Dong’s brother is married, I don’t want to cause any misunderstanding. Dong’s brother helped me, I can’t cause him any trouble."
Qin Yi chuckled lightly, appreciating her thoughtful consideration, "Alright, I’ll accompany you when the time comes."
"I knew you were the best, brother. Well, you rest up, I’m heading back."
Qin Yi nodded, watching Qin Wan’er carry the empty bowl and leave.
Xia Yanbing hasn’t come back yet, probably because the company’s financial issues have been resolved, and there are many things to handle.
Just at this moment, Qin Yi’s phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was a call from Liu Zhanyuan.
"Hello, Director Liu, what’s the matter?" Qin Yi answered the call and asked indifferently.
Liu Zhanyuan’s voice was filled with respect, "Mr. Qin, I’m at a cocktail party, General Manager Xia is also here, she’s in trouble."
Qin Yi’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, knowing that General Manager Xia must be Xia Yanbing, he asked, "What trouble?"
"She was entangled by a drunk young master, do you want me to step in?"
Qin Yi’s eyes turned cold, his voice deep, "Is it serious?"
"Have you heard of the Zhang Family? The one harassing General Manager Xia is Zhang Lin, the youngest son of Zhang Wenhao."
Qin Yi frowned slightly, he had heard of the Zhang Family, Zhang Wenhao was involved in the underworld in the past, later cleaned up his act. But he still controlled half of Yinfeng City’s underworld, so ordinary people were afraid to offend the Zhang Family.
"Director Liu, I want Xiaobing to be absolutely safe. If something happens, I’m responsible. Also, I want Zhang Lin’s two legs." Qin Yi said lightly.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Qin, I won’t disappoint you." Liu Zhanyuan hurriedly replied. The Liu Family wasn’t afraid of the Zhang Family to begin with. Even if they couldn’t afford to offend them, with Qin Yi, who is like a deity, backing them, what is there to fear?
Hua Ping Grand Hotel, one of the five-star hotels in Yinfeng City, a property of the Dong Family.
The top floor, a more than two-thousand-square-meter ballroom, was luxuriously decorated. The red carpet on the ground was soft and silent underfoot, and a beautiful melody was played by a piano and violin ensemble.
Half of Yinfeng City’s entrepreneurs were gathered here tonight.
Men were dressed in suits, dashing and elegant. Women wore glamorous dresses, competing to outshine each other.
However, discordant commotion broke through all the intentionally adorned beautiful scenes.
In the center of the ballroom, Xia Yanbing wore a black evening dress that outlined her ultimate perfect figure. Her cold demeanor and outstandingly beautiful looks made her the focus of the entire scene, attracting countless men’s attention.
Xia Yanbing originally didn’t want to attend, but for the future development of the Xia Group, she had to come. Previously, when the Xia Group was on the brink of bankruptcy, such events would not have invited her. But now that the Xia Group temporarily solved its immediate crisis, the invitation came right away. That’s how realistic this world is.
Unexpectedly, her beauty caught the attention of Zhang Lin, this rich young master, who disregarded the basic decency and publicly suggested Xia Yanbing name her price for a night with him.
Xia Yanbing knew that the Xia Group couldn’t afford to offend the Zhang Family, so she had to retreat. Besides, even emperors avoid drunkards; Zhang Lin had clearly drunk a lot, and there’s no reasoning with such people.
But Xia Yanbing clearly underestimated Zhang Lin’s shamelessness, as he directly blocked her from leaving.
"Mr. Zhang, please have some self-respect." Xia Yanbing’s pretty face turned icy, trying to move around Zhang Lin quickly.
However, Zhang Lin unexpectedly opened his arms and came towards her, and because he was drunk, his steps were unsteady. Although Xia Yanbing was terrified, she narrowly managed to dodge away.
Reeking of alcohol, Zhang Lin turned to look at Xia Yanbing, his eyes fixating on her chest, and he laughed oddly, "I’m very respectful already, if I weren’t, I’d have directly had someone tie you to my bed, why bother asking for a price?"
"Young Master Zhang, you’ve had too much to drink, let me help you rest?" Han Ning also arrived, but he followed his father, intending to help Xia Yanbing get out of trouble. Xia Yanbing’s parents now practically worshipped him, he believed Xia Yanbing would soon be his.
Zhang Lin swung his hand and landed a slap, causing Han Ning to stagger a few steps and almost fall, half of his face quickly swelling up.
"Damn, trying to be a hero? Believe me, I’ll have someone bury you alive tonight?" Zhang Lin looked at Han Ning with disdain, then charged forward and kicked him over to the ground.
"Come, crawl over." Zhang Lin beckoned with his hand.
Han Ning’s face turned ashen. He knew the Zhang Family’s influence was something his family couldn’t contend with. Trembling, he got up and walked over.
"Tell me, do you want this woman? Are you trying to steal my woman? Do you think you’re tired of living?" Zhang Lin grabbed Han Ning’s hair with one hand and contemptuously slapped his face with the other.
"Young Master Zhang, I dare not, I’m wrong... I’m wrong..." Han Ning was terrified like a turtle grandson, truly afraid Zhang Lin would bury him alive. Zhang Lin certainly had the ability to do so.
"Damn coward." Zhang Lin held Han Ning’s hair and pointed at Xia Yanbing, asking, "Can I have this woman?"
"Yes, yes..." Han Ning nodded vigorously.
"You really are a good dog, seeing you’re so sensible, scram, crawl on the ground... Otherwise, I’ll have your whole family buried alive tonight."
Han Ning was shivering all over with fright, not daring to even fart, and actually curled into a ball, rolling around on the ground.
There was a whisper of conversation around, faces full of schadenfreude.
"Ha, really an obedient dog, told to roll and he rolls, let’s see who dares challenge me?" Zhang Lin surveyed the crowd, his eyes cold, and those in his line of sight quickly turned their heads away, not daring to make eye contact.
The Zhang Family controlled half of Yinfeng City’s underworld, and no one wanted to provoke this mess.
The women present all looked at Xia Yanbing with schadenfreude. This woman stole all their limelight as soon as she appeared, serves her right to be unlucky.
"Xia Yanbing, some say you’re the number one beauty in Yinfeng City. I’ll taste this first beauty tonight. You should still be a virgin, right? They say your husband is a cripple, he probably can’t perform, such a beautiful woman is really a waste if left unused, tonight I’ll develop you properly on his behalf."
