The next day, Wang Xuan got up early and rushed to the office.
He knew Ye Qing always arrived early, so he wanted to send Ye Qing out on a few business deals that the company had abandoned before Mu Qingrong arrived. It wouldn't be convenient for him to make things difficult for Ye Qing if Mu Qingrong was around.
However, shortly after he arrived at the office, he witnessed a scene that nearly drove him to the edge of a breakdown. Ye Qing and Mu Qingrong had arrived at the office together, each holding the same kind of food in their hands.
Wang Xuan was stunned for a while. The sight of Ye Qing and Mu Qingrong talking while walking almost drove him mad.
How could these two arrive at the office together? Even if it was a coincidence, it couldn't be so coincidental that even the food they were holding was the same, could it?
Wang Xuan saw clearly that the soy milk they were holding was not sold anywhere near the office. This meant they had come together from far away. But how could such a coincidence happen? Unless... unless they were living together?
Wang Xuan couldn't help but remember that Mu Qingrong had left work with Ye Qing for the past two days, and suddenly he felt a sense of sorrow. Could it be that these two had stayed together last night?
"Manager Wang, good morning." Ye Qing greeted Wang Xuan and returned to his seat.
Wang Xuan did not respond and stared straight at Mu Qingrong as she walked into her office, then suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Qing, his eyes filled with resentful glare.
"Ye Qing, did you look at the business deals I assigned to you yesterday?" Wang Xuan walked up to Ye Qing and asked in a deep voice.
Ye Qing: "I looked at them."
Wang Xuan said, "Good, these business deals are easy to handle, so I'm assigning them all to you. This month, I hope you can secure all these deals. We're busy with the Feiyun Group business and probably won't have time to help you, so you'll have to manage them on your own!"
"Yes," Ye Qing nodded and responded.
Wang Xuan glanced at him, his anger still unabated, but there was nothing he could do to Ye Qing now. All he could do was wait, wait for Ye Qing to fail to complete these businesses, and then he could properly deal with Ye Qing.
Ye Qing did not stay long at the office either, gathered his things, and then left the office to head to the first company on the business list.
The company was not too far from Ye Qing's own office, about five kilometers away, so Ye Qing decided to walk there. Along the way, Ye Qing also looked for any disabled beggars on the streets and kept an eye out for his brother, Ye Jun.
Ye Qing had taken up the job as a sales representative mainly for this purpose.
It took Ye Qing half an hour to walk the five kilometers. However, as soon as he arrived at the business department of the company and revealed his identity, he was immediately kicked out.
Mu Qingrong's company had some previous business disputes with this company. According to the documents Ye Qing had, this company still owed Mu Qingrong's company a sum for a construction project. Naturally, Ye Qing's sudden appearance was treated as an attempt to collect debts and he was promptly expelled.
Undeterred, Ye Qing simply marked this company down for now and rushed to the next company.
In one morning, Ye Qing visited three companies, but the outcome was the same at each. These abandoned business dealings were clearly no longer negotiable. People didn't even give Ye Qing a chance to speak; all his efforts were in vain.
As noon approached and Ye Qing was about to find a place to eat, he suddenly received a call from Zhao Chengshuang, insisting on having lunch with Ye Qing.
Ye Qing couldn't refuse Zhao Chengshuang, so they met. Zhao Chengshuang had come in a new car given to him by his family as a reward for his third-class merit.
Zhao Chengshuang took Ye Qing to Yipinxuan, ordered a few signature dishes, and then sat down and talked nonstop.
"Ye brothers, not to criticize you, but what future is there in being a sales representative? With your skills and your analytical abilities, you could do much better than being a sales rep. Have you ever thought about changing careers? I tell you, you're still young, there are plenty of opportunities out there. Don't hang yourself on one tree."
Ye Qing looked calm as he looked at Zhao Chengshuang and shook his head, "I won't change jobs."
"Ah, you're so stubborn." Zhao Chengshuang waved his hand and didn't pursue the topic further. Truthfully, remembering the incident where Ye Qing had incapacitated those seven people, Zhao Chengshuang felt a bit of awe towards Ye Qing.
Zhao Chengshuang said, "You really helped me out last time. I'm a person who always repays a small kindness with deep gratitude. I won't say much, but just know that here in Shenchuan City, if there's anything you need, just call me!"
Ye Qing nodded. In Shenchuan City, he indeed needed some connections, and Zhao Chengshuang's police connections were an important part of that.
After lunch, Zhao Chengshuang wanted to invite Ye Qing to have some fun, but Ye Qing declined. He still had to run business deals in the afternoon, so he certainly couldn't afford to be as relaxed as Zhao Chengshuang.
After parting ways with Zhao Chengshuang, Ye Qing didn't head to any company but slowly made his way to the rear of Yipinxuan, into a secluded alley.
The location of Yipinxuan was already quite remote, and this alley was even more so, devoid of people.
Ye Qing turned a corner, where there was a dead end. He stood at the end of the alley, quietly watching the corner.
About five minutes later, several men turned around the corner. Leading them was a tall, fierce-looking man with muscles and a scar on his face.
Seeing Ye Qing standing there, they were all momentarily stunned. Scarface looked at Ye Qing and furrowed his brow, saying, "Kid, when did you notice us?"
"During the meal, I saw that guy called Leopard. I figured he was here to identify someone," Ye Qing watched them calmly and said, "Then you guys showed up, I guess you also wanted to find a secluded place."
"You've got guts, knowing what we intend to do yet daring to go into this deserted place!" Scarface eyed Ye Qing coldly and said, "Heaven has a path which you didn't take, but instead, you stormed into hell with no doors. Since you've chosen such a place, Old man will send you off right here today!"
Ye Qing watched Scarface silently. Without a doubt, these were Boss Lin's men. He no longer needed to say anything regarding Boss Lin's men.
"You guys, chop him down for me!" Scarface waved his hand, signaling his men to advance.
The men hesitated for a moment. They were aware of Ye Qing's ferocity; many of Boss Lin's men had suffered greatly at Ye Qing's hands. This time, Boss Lin had specifically sent Scarface thinking he could finish Ye Qing. To their surprise, Scarface was now sending them in first, wasn't that sending them to their deaths?
"Hurry up and go, what are you staring at!" Scarface glared and shouted angrily. He was also somewhat wary of Ye Qing, which is why he wanted his men to go first and test the waters.
The underlings exchanged glances; respecting Scarface's authority, they dared not disobey. One of them shouted angrily, pulled out a machete, and charged straight at Ye Qing.
The rest hurriedly followed, having learned their lesson, not daring to lag behind.
Facing these men, Ye Qing took a step forward with his right foot and propelled off the ground with his left. Just as the front man was about three meters away from him, Ye Qing's left foot fiercely thrust off the ground. The huge force against the ground and the friction of the shoe sole made a harsh scraping sound.
Ye Qing's right elbow led forward, and like a cannonball, he crashed heavily into the first man's chest.
The man was instantly sent flying backward, like a cannonball, knocking down two others before finally stopping, unable to get up with blood at the corners of his mouth.
The crowd at the scene was stunned, and Scarface's expression changed.
Scarface, a former Special Forces solider and one of the toughest under Boss Lin, initially thought Ye Qing was just an ordinary soldier. However, Ye Qing's move just now made him realize that this man was far stronger than him!
Scarface hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran, no longer engaging with Ye Qing.
As Scarface ran, the remaining underlings were so scared they wet themselves and screamed in panic as they ran.
The three men who were knocked down were still gasping on the ground, incapable of running away.
Ye Qing did not chase after Scarface or pay attention to those three, but walked out of the alley in a leisurely manner. He knew that in Shenchuan City, he would encounter more situations one. The confrontation with Boss Lin had just begun!
In a panic, Scarface dashed out of the alley like a dog that lost its home, jumped into his car, and immediately drove away, not even daring to look back. He knew how ruthless Ye Qing was; if he ended up in Ye Qing's hands, he would probably end up crippled, and he did not want to end up like that.
Scarface drove a long distance, making sure Ye Qing couldn't catch up, before he cautiously looked back. Seeing truly no one chasing, he felt slightly relieved and hurriedly called Boss Lin to report the situation.
Upon hearing what Scarface said, Boss Lin suddenly stood up, his voice grave, "Sending someone flying seven or eight meters with one hit, what are you joking about? Do you think he's a truck?"
Scarface anxiously replied, "Eldest Brother, I saw it with my own eyes, there's no mistake. He sent that guy flying, and the other two were knocked down before flying seven or eight meters. If not for those two blocking, it would have been more than seven or eight meters!"
Boss Lin was shocked and angrily said, "Damn it, are you seeing things, is there really such a powerful person in this world?"
"Eldest Brother, would I lie to you, this is true," Scarface paused, then whispered, "Looking at our men, it won't be easy to deal with him. Unless we find a chance to surround him with thirty or forty people, we might be able to handle him."
Boss Lin replied irritably, "Nonsense, if we could do that, I would have done it long ago. This bastard moves unpredictably; we can't even arrange men in time. Besides, you know my family's situation; if we make a big deal out of it, I won't be able to explain it either!"
"Eldest Brother, there's actually another way…" Scarface paused, then whispered, "Or, you could borrow some men from Tiger King."
"Tiger King?" Boss Lin immediately frowned; this was a name he truly did not even want to mention.
