"The wealthy women I know, aren't they just you two? Who else could casually produce a billion, along with more to follow?" Ye Tianfan expressed his frustration, unable to think of who it might be at the moment.

The three of them pondered for quite a while but couldn't figure out who would be so generous. They decided to stop thinking about it. Since it was Ye Tianfan who caused this, they would wait for that person to reveal their true identity and then have Ye Tianfan sort it out.

After that, Long Yuqing and Ye Tianfan left the Qin Group, as Qin Ruomeng still had a pile of documents to handle.

However, as Long Yuqing was leaving, Qin Ruomeng suggested that the ten billion could first be split, with five billion going to the Long Group to help weather this storm. The subsequent funds would also be shared with the Long Group.

But Long Yuqing refused: "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. I still have some assets to tide over this wave, but let your Qin Group face this wave head-on! My Long Group will stay in the shadows, while you are in the light. It'll help to deal with any of their other tactics."

Qin Ruomeng nodded in agreement. With the injection of funds, the Qin Group would no longer be as passive as before.

Plus, with that mysterious influence, they could surely take down the Tianyu Group in one sweep, provided everything goes smoothly.

When Ye Tianfan returned to the bar from the Qin Group, it was the bar's peak hour.

The dim lighting and booming music all indicated the lively atmosphere of the bar.

Ye Tianfan looked at the lively scene before him, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth, and walked towards the bar counter. He wanted to stay in this environment for a while to relax his mind from the past few days.

"Boss, what do you want to drink?" The bartender saw the boss sit down at the counter and quickly greeted him. There was no tremor in his voice, possibly due to habit.

"Anything, where's Fei Shuang?" Ye Tianfan glanced at the bartender and then turned his gaze towards the dance floor.

The bartender poured a glass of whiskey and pushed it towards Ye Tianfan: "She went out and hasn't returned yet. She seemed to be in a hurry."

"In a hurry?" Ye Tianfan was a bit puzzled: "Did she say what it was about?"

Ye Tianfan asked the bartender.

"No, boss, she didn't say. She came rushing downstairs from above and left quickly." The bartender hurriedly replied.

While Ye Tianfan and the bartender were talking about Yan Feishuang, suddenly a woman staggered out from the dance floor, falling onto Ye Tianfan who was drinking.

"Huh?" Ye Tianfan was taken aback and was about to say something when he caught a strong scent of alcohol from the woman, seemingly drunk and unaware of her actions.

As Ye Tianfan was about to help her up, a man in a suit barged in from outside the booth, heading straight for the woman.

"Lin Xiaoxiao, have you had enough? Come home with me."

The man rushed up, grabbed the woman's hand, and started dragging her outside without even glancing at Ye Tianfan and the bartender.

As Lin Xiaoxiao was being dragged away, she struggled fiercely, breaking free from the man's grasp, falling to the ground, clutching Ye Tianfan's leg tightly, pleading with him: "Please help me... I was tricked into coming here. They said I was just supposed to drink with clients and finalize contracts. Now they want me to sleep with the clients... I don't want this job anymore, I'm done, please help me."

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao's speech was incoherent, clearly having drunk to the point of blackout.

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan's face darkened. Causing trouble in my bar?

"Hey buddy, that's going too far. It should be consensual; why resort to force?"

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the man's face turned grim instantly, his eyes filled with disdain as he coldly remarked, "Don't look for trouble. You should consider your own weight."

The bartender, upon hearing the man's words, immediately retorted, "Do you know who you're talking to? He is..."

Ye Tianfan waved his hand, interrupting the bartender, and disdainfully stood up: "Oh, I'm quite aware of my weight; I'm just not sure about yours."

The man's face changed repeatedly upon hearing this. He didn't want to waste time with this person in front of him. If the client's dad got impatient and changed his mind, he'd lose a lot of money.

"Fine, I won't mess around with you. I'm from Qingcheng Group, she's one of our people. This is an internal matter, so stay out of it. Your drinks tonight are on me, how about that?" The man finished, scoffing. If it weren't for the urgent time, he'd break the guy's legs and throw him in the river.

"Your treat for drinks? Hah!" Ye Tianfan scoffed, "You can't afford my tab, bro."

"I can't afford it? What a joke. Have you heard of the Tianyu Group?" The man was clearly provoked by Ye Tianfan's words.

"Yes, Tianyu Group got lucky with foreign investment, rising from a low-ranked firm to a cocky upstart," Ye Tianfan said indifferently.

"Hah, you're just bitter. Let me tell you, punk, my Qingcheng Group is under Tianyu Group. Messing with me is messing with Qingcheng Group, and messing with Qingcheng Group is messing with..."

"Tianyu Group!"

"Tianyu Group!"

As the last man said "Tianyu Group," Ye Tianfan and he both spoke at the same time.

"You!"

"You what? I knew you'd say that, but will Tianyu Group really bother with a small fry like you? You're overestimating yourself, thinking you're some core member of that so-called Qingcun Group," Ye Tianfan scornfully said.

In his usual style, he might have kicked him to give him a lesson on the harshness of society.

But for some reason, after Lin Xiaoxiao's heart-wrenching scream earlier, even the people on the dance floor stopped dancing and started recording the incident on their phones.

So Ye Tianfan could only resort to verbally educating him.

"It's Qingcheng Group, not Qingcun Group."

The man, outmatched by Ye Tianfan, gave him a sharp look, then turned back to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao, he remembered the client was still waiting and hurriedly shouted.

"Lin Xiaoxiao, come back with me, or else your bonus and performance for this month will all be canceled, plus your salary will be deducted."

"You can't deduct my salary, and my performance too. I earned those through hard work," Lin Xiaoxiao cried. "My mom's in the hospital, waiting for my money for treatment. You can't take my money."
