"What's the deal with this Chen Zheng? Not long ago, he was just an ordinary guy dumped by his girlfriend over a few hundred thousand, and now, all of a sudden, he owns a massive stake in Dahong Real Estate?"

My head is about to explode.

Di Shan stood by his side, wanting to share her boss's worries, but she was just as baffled.

"What a headache! Forget it, why overthink it? He's just some small-time nouveau riche from Yunzhou. What real power could he have?" Qi Lei shook his head, then turned his gaze to Di Shan. "The man you sent—is he reliable?"

"Rest assured, Boss! I sent Greedy Wolf. You can trust his skills!" As Di Shan spoke, she ground her teeth. The memory of Chen Zheng humiliating her earlier that day was still fresh in her mind. She was Qi Lei's assistant; when had she ever been subjected to such an insult?

"Good! You really know how to get things done!" Qi Lei was very satisfied.

"It's my duty to resolve the Young Master's troubles!" Di Shan said with a fawning expression. She intentionally thrust her chest forward; a button had mysteriously come undone, suddenly offering a tantalizing view.

"Heh!" A wicked smile spread across Qi Lei's face, and the atmosphere in the room grew heated.

"Boss!"

Just as things were getting interesting, a frantic shout came from outside, ruining the mood.

"Go open the door!" Qi Lei's annoyance soured his mood, and his expression darkened.

Having no choice, Di Shan sulkily went to the door. When she opened it, a burly man stumbled in, his face deathly pale.

"Greedy Wolf, what happened to you?" Di Shan frowned.

Gasping for breath, Greedy Wolf didn't answer her. He went straight to Qi Lei. "Boss, my apologies. I failed to eliminate him!"

Greedy Wolf's knees buckled, and he dropped to the ground.

"Oh? You went yourself and still failed?" Although Qi Lei asked the question, he didn't seem to take it very seriously.

"That man is no simple character. His car was wrecked, yet he managed to jump out mid-crash! What's more, when we fought, I was no match for him."

"He also gave me a message for you, Young Master…" Greedy Wolf hesitated, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Qi Lei.

"What did he say?" Qi Lei's voice betrayed no emotion.

"He said… if the Young Master wants to play, he'll play along!"

"Is that so? Someone in this backwater city of Yunzhou is actually that arrogant?" A ripple of interest finally disturbed the calm in Qi Lei's eyes. "Is that really what he said?"

"Yes!" Greedy Wolf nodded.

Qi Lei frowned, lost in thought.

Greedy Wolf looked at his boss pleadingly, his heart pounding like a drum, like a prisoner awaiting his sentence. Time ticked by. Just as Greedy Wolf was at a complete loss, Qi Lei finally spoke.

"Di Shan, transfer one million to him!"

Di Shan immediately got to it.

"Go and get your injuries treated!" Qi Lei glanced at Greedy Wolf's hand.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Young Master!" Greedy Wolf's heart finally settled in his chest. He left, stammering his profuse thanks.

The atmosphere in the room turned chillingly tense.

"Interesting. Someone actually wants to play with me? Chen Zheng, is it? Since you're so audacious, I'm dying to see what you're made of."

DRING! DRING!

The cellphone on the desk began to ring.

"The old man? Why is he calling so late instead of sleeping?" Qi Lei grumbled impatiently.

The ever-observant Di Shan stepped forward, picked up the phone, answered the call, and put it on speaker.

"Dad, what's up?" Qi Lei asked.

"What's going on? Something this major happened to the Qi Group and you still don't know? What in the world did you do to make the stock plummet like this?" Over the phone, Qi Zhenyun's voice was seething with rage.

Qi Lei's brow furrowed. The stock plunged? He truly had no idea.

"Dad, are you joking? I'm just kicking back in Yunzhou. I haven't done anything," he said, refusing to believe it.

A flicker of unease, an ominous premonition, went through Qi Lei's mind. Could it be because of Chen Zheng?

He quickly dismissed the idea. What a joke. Who did Chen Zheng think he was? Their Qi Group was a Fortune 500 company. It would take an earth-shattering power to make their stock plummet. Does Chen Zheng have that kind of power?

"You'd better have done nothing!" Qi Zhenyun sounded even angrier before hanging up abruptly.

"Damn old fool!" Being completely self-centered, Qi Lei was furious with his father's attitude.

However, his lust quickly took over, and he pushed the matter to the back of his mind. He reached out and put a hand on Di Shan. Already scantily clad, Di Shan soon became even more disheveled.

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

A coquettish blush appeared on Di Shan's face. She made a show of covering herself, all while shooting Qi Lei a seductive glance.

"Hahaha, get over here!" Qi Lei only grew more excited, and soon a fierce battle erupted in the office.

「The next morning.」

Chen Zheng slept until he woke naturally. Feeling refreshed and full of energy, he went straight to the garage.

Inside, a supercar was parked. Its streamlined body looked utterly perfect under the lights.

It was a deep blue Lamborghini Veneno.

Haha! A three-million-yuan car just doesn't cut it for me anymore. Now, this 80-million-yuan Lamborghini Veneno is what I call comfortable.

The system really knows how to take care of me!

Chen Zheng admired it for a moment before opening the door and getting in. When he started the engine, its roar was as captivating as a wild beast. The car pulled out of the garage like a king of the jungle.

As he drove out of the villa complex, the security guards straightened their postures and stood at attention.

"Haha!" Chen Zheng's heart swelled with satisfaction once again. This car's cool factor was several tiers above the Porsche. He had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before. This feels awesome!

He stomped on the gas pedal. The car let out a thunderous roar and accelerated rapidly, hurtling like a sprinting beast straight for the Xingsheng Group headquarters. He had promised Wei Zixuan he would be by her side today. He knew Qi Lei wasn't the type to let things go so easily. After taking a loss, that bastard was liable to do something even more outrageous. He was genuinely worried that guy would go to Xingsheng Group to harass her.

「Yunzhou Grand Hotel.」

Having just finished his "exercise," Qi Lei let Di Shan attend to him, helping him bathe and dress.

"Young Master, are we still going to Xingsheng Group today?" Di Shan asked.

"Go there? Why should I?" Qi Lei scoffed. "You, send her an invitation. Make Wei Zixuan come to me."
