"Why are you calling me?"

He had absolutely no fondness for Huang Yiping, considering him a parasite on society, always scrounging around. The very sight of him was nauseating.

On the phone, hearing Chen Zheng's voice, Huang Yiping began to panic.

He stammered, "Well, Chen Zheng, a friend of mine called to say his girlfriend offended you… You're a magnanimous man, could you please not hold it against her…"

Huang Yiping's voice grew steadily quieter.

Chen Zheng let out a cold laugh. "Who would have thought you were so loyal? I never saw that side of you before."

Huang Yiping gritted his teeth. "I owe him 30,000 yuan. If you don't help me, he's going to go raise hell at the Su Group!"

"Young Master Su's relationship with my sister is already on rocky ground. If he makes a fuss, they might get divorced. Please, could you help me? I'm begging you!"

Hearing this, Chen Zheng frowned in disgust.

Huang Yiyi dumped me, and now her brother wants my help to stop her from getting a divorce? Do they really see me as such a sucker?!

"Huang Yiping, if you owe money, pay it back yourself. Let me tell you, you're no good, and neither is your sister. Just hearing about you two disgusts me!"

After saying that, Chen Zheng immediately hung up and blocked the number.

On the other end, Huang Yiping stood there, stunned. He wanted to call back and curse him out, but the call wouldn't go through.

Eventually, he had no choice but to call his friend, Li Hua, back.

"How did it go?! Did you plead with President Chen? What did he say? Does this mean my girlfriend doesn't have to be fired?"

"You said you were on great terms with him. He must have agreed, right?"

Huang Yiping was silent for a moment before speaking. "I'm sorry… Li Hua."

The male salesperson's face turned ugly. "What the hell did you say? She's still getting fired?! Just you wait! If I don't go make a scene at the Su Group, then my surname isn't Li!"

He hung up and looked at his girlfriend apologetically.

The female salesperson understood her job was gone for good.

Angrily, she snapped, "Li Hua! What are you even good for?! You're useless! Get lost! I'd be better off finding a boyfriend at a nightclub. Even the empty promises from those big shots would be more useful than you!"

Having said her piece, the female salesperson stormed off.

Li Hua quickly called after her, "Yue Yue, it's not my fault! It was that bastard Huang Yiping who was all talk! Don't be mad, there was really nothing I could do…"

A Qiong Yao-style breakup drama was playing out on one side, but Chen Zheng and Wei Zixuan were completely unaware. They had already driven to the entrance of a private kitchen restaurant.

This private kitchen was supposedly opened by a retired state banquet chef who had returned to his hometown, and it served authentic Yunzhou cuisine. Taste aside, its main feature was being expensive. Yet, customers streamed in endlessly. The view was also fantastic, with a park just on the other side of a wall.

Sitting in a small private room after ordering, Chen Zheng looked at Wei Zixuan. "Want something to drink? Red wine or fruit wine? I hear the plum wine here is very good."

Wei Zixuan smiled and glanced at him. "You're definitely up to no good. You still have to drive later, and I have some things to handle back at the company. Let's not drink, okay?"

Chen Zheng shrugged. "All right, then."

His sports car only has two seats. If I drink, it's one thing whether a designated driver would even dare to drive it, but another thing is that the three of us wouldn't even damn well fit!

***

The breakup drama between the salespeople came to a premature end thanks to the intervention of security. Just then, a red Porsche sports car pulled up to the entrance.

A beautiful woman stepped out of the car. Dressed in professional attire, her posture as she exited was incredibly seductive, causing passersby to gawk.

She walked to the driver's side, leaned against the window to say a few words to the young man inside, then headed straight for the sales department.

The sales staff inside could tell from her appearance that she was no ordinary person. Her cold aura was clearly a habit formed from a long time in a management position.

A salesperson summoned his courage and approached her. "Miss, are you looking to view a property?"

The woman glanced at him. "I'm looking for someone. Where is Director Wei? Young Master Qi of the Qi Corporation wants to see her."

The salesperson quickly replied, "Director Wei isn't here. She just stepped out."

The woman nodded, turned, and left. Only after she was gone did the salesperson let out a long breath. Just one look from her was incredibly stressful!

Returning to the Porsche, the woman bent over slightly and whispered, "Young Master Qi, Director Wei just stepped out."

Young Master Qi waved his hand.

The woman immediately understood, took out her phone, and dialed a number. "Young Master Qi told you to keep an eye on Director Wei. Where the hell have you been looking?!"

The person on the other end quickly replied, "Sandy, I was just about to contact you. We saw Director Wei and a man enter a private restaurant! It's called Bai Xian Ju!"

The woman hung up, bowed slightly, and said, "Young Master Qi, Director Wei went to Bai Xian Ju with a man."

"Get in."

The young man took off his sunglasses. Once the woman was in the car, the Porsche shot forward.

***

「Bai Xian Ju.」

The dishes for Chen Zheng and Wei Zixuan had all been served.

They chatted as they ate. Chen Zheng noticed Wei Zixuan was eating very little and asked softly, "You're eating so little… I hope you're not losing weight in the places you shouldn't be, are you?"

Hearing this, Wei Zixuan puffed out her cheeks. "You rascal!"

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly grew charged.

But they were unaware that, at that very moment, a Porsche had just executed a stylish drift in the parking lot, sliding perfectly into the last available space.

After getting out, Young Master Qi put his sunglasses back on. He and his assistant, Sandy, walked to the entrance of Bai Xian Ju.

Just as they arrived, a man hurried over, exchanged a few words with them, and then promptly left.

Sandy strode into Bai Xian Ju, heading straight for Chen Zheng and Wei Zixuan's private room. Pushing the door open, she ignored their puzzled expressions.

With a faint smile and a cold tone, she said, "Director Wei. A pleasure. I'm Sandy, from Qi Real Estate."

As she spoke, Sandy extended her hand toward Wei Zixuan.

Chen Zheng was taken aback. The Qi Corporation is from Imperial Capital, right? Could they have a partnership with the Xingsheng Group as well?
