Chapter 9 Mr. Li, Don’t Hit People
"Hasn't it been poached?" Ji Shi'an calmly took a half step to the side to avoid Li Hanfeng's spitting. "I just wonder what suitable positions Mr. Li plans to give to those people with forged academic qualifications?"
Li Hanfeng's pupils trembled, and he clenched his fists: "What?"
Ji Shian's face changed, his eyes reflected a mist, and he was trembling with fear.
Li Hanfeng paused, and before he could ask why, he heard the sound of soldiers and horses trying to stop him from behind.
"Mr. Li, you can't do that!"
"Assistant Ji is innocent!"
"You can't hit people, you can't hit people!"
Qin Yinghuai walked out of the corner at this time. The man's eyes were cold and his face was slightly gloomy. A low pressure silently filled the air between them as they looked at each other indifferently.
Ji Shian nimbly dodged behind Qin Yinghuai and breathed a sigh of relief exaggeratedly, as if Li Hanfeng was really going to hit him just now.
Li Hanfeng was so angry at her shameless behavior that he laughed. He threw all his manners and reserve behind his back. Just as he was about to curse, he met Qin Yinghuai's cold gaze.
The man's face was cold, and the oppressive feeling around him made the previously relaxed CEOs beside him feel a chill in their throats. "Please think twice before you speak or act, Mr. Li."
Li Hanfeng's eyes were filled with viciousness and unwillingness as he stared at the person who had accused him of assaulting someone in just a few words. His words of defense seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
One of them stood under the light, calm and imposing, while the other stood in the shadow, his clothes a little disheveled and his expression embarrassed.
The difference becomes apparent in an instant.
After showing off his power, Qin Yinghuai subsided his condescending attitude, politely nodded to the several CEOs beside him, turned his gaze to Ji Shian and said coldly, "Follow me."
Ji Shian followed obediently. When he passed Li Hanfeng, his body shook uncontrollably, like a little cabbage that no one cared about.
Several bosses looked at her with pity, thinking that it must be uncomfortable for such a young girl to follow such a cold boss every day.
However, although Mr. Qin of Chengyue seems unapproachable, his conversation and temperament are far better than Mr. Li of Feisheng.
None of them showed it on their faces, but their minds were constantly changing with various thoughts and ideas.
The middle-aged boss with the kindest face was the first to step forward to smooth things over: "Thank you so much for hosting Mr. Li today. The dishes at Bu Rangchen are truly unmatched by ordinary restaurants."
A boss with a beer belly laughed and said, "That's right. Even though that braised pork ribs is a home-cooked dish, the taste is something you can't make at home."
"Who says it's not? That boiled cabbage has a rich taste and is so fragrant."
Li Hanfeng watched as a few people were laughing and commenting on tonight's dishes, seemingly forgetting that the topic they were originally discussing was the upcoming collaborative project.
He forced a twitch of his lips and responded with a few words.
Inside the car.
After slamming the car door shut, Ji Shian breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yinghuai turned his head to see her becoming lively and energetic, having changed from her cautious look after making a mistake, and clicked his tongue.
"You dislike Li Hanfeng so much?"
Ji Shian fastened his seatbelt and shook his head when he heard this: "He was the one who started the trouble."
Every time he met Li Hanfeng, something bad would happen. He would either provoke him or mock him. In the past, Ji Shian always chose to fight back lightly out of consideration for his image as the boss.
Today is a rare opportunity. We can keep our edge hidden and let our words become knives that pierce our hearts.
Li Hanfeng's sullen face slowly emerged in her mind, and she sighed, "That feels good."
Then she thought of something and said embarrassedly: "You shouldn't have come out."
Qin Yinghuai was not around, so the confrontation between her and Li Hanfeng could be explained as the two simply disliking each other.
But once Qin Yinghuai joined, the incident instantly escalated into a confrontation between the two company leaders.
Outside the car window, the bright lights and night life passed by in the night, pedestrians on the street were talking and laughing with each other, the green light came on, and the traffic flowed slowly.
Ji Shian was busy paying attention to the road conditions and couldn't spare the attention to observe Qin Yinghuai's expression. He only heard the man's voice, which was as low and mellow as ever, mixed with a barely perceptible laziness.
"Li Hanfeng's illegitimate brother secretly returned to China a few days ago. Cheng Yue has been involved in several of the hottest projects recently. Maybe Li Hanfeng will come to apologize to you in a few days."
Ji Shian hummed in confusion.
Qin Yinghuai twirled the tip of his index finger with his thumb. "Since Li Hanfeng took office, he has always wanted to transform Feisheng."
Feisheng Group's primary business area was real estate, but recent economic trends have led to a slight downturn in the real estate market. Many companies, sensitive to market trends, have begun restructuring or seeking alternative solutions.
Feisheng is a long-established real estate company. Although it is a giant, it is actually riddled with holes due to a series of melodramatic things such as the constant romantic affairs of the head of the Li family, the swordplay between the lover and the mistress, and the mixing of several illegitimate children with the legitimate son Li Hanfeng and educating them like raising a Gu.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Feisheng is not yet at the point of collapse, so the internal struggles between the several factions of the Li family are becoming more and more intense.
As the most legitimate son of the Li family, Li Hanfeng also received some benefits. While his illegitimate brothers were competing with each other, he had already been parachuted into the position of general manager of the Feisheng branch.
Then, with his smooth style and flamboyant behavior, he caused quite a stir in the Yun City business circle.
Ji Shian's thoughts were in a mess and he had forgotten what he was wondering at the beginning. He asked curiously, "Boss, what is the grudge between you and Li Hanfeng?" As a result, Li Hanfeng hated Qin Yinghuai every time he saw him, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous because of Qin Yinghuai's own strength.
However, Qin Yinghuai's attitude towards Li Hanfeng has always been strange. It doesn't seem like they're evenly matched, but more like...
What does it look like?
Something flashed through my mind but I couldn't catch it.
Ji Shian tapped the steering wheel lightly with his fingers, lost in thought.
Qin Yinghuai hesitated and said, "Maybe."
He is the same age as Li Hanfeng, but from a different class.
Qin Yinghuai grew up abroad when he was young, and his personality was completely different from his current mature and steady self. He was like a time bomb, and could cause trouble in no time if placed in a crowd.
It wasn't entirely his fault. There were always inexplicable people buzzing around him and provoking him like a dog-skin plaster, but he had to endure it because of his parents' teachings and the pride in his heart.
The relationships among the children of wealthy families are like the food chain in a tropical rainforest: complex and tangled. Flattery, derision, and mockery are common.
Qin Yinghuai always felt that sometimes they were so mentally retarded that they looked like villains in novels. Only rarely could their IQs return to their high levels. They had to study as they should and work hard as they should.
Later, in response to policy changes, Chengyue Group shifted its core business to China. Qin Yinghuai also returned to China and began to take over some of Chengyue's core affairs.
At that time, the entire wealthy circle was in an uproar. In recent years, many talented children of powerful families have emerged, and each of them is a top talent.
Qin Yinghuai's sudden return to China was like a cup of water thrown into a boiling oil pan. In an instant, the situation became turbulent, and there were many people who wanted to test his strength with bad intentions.
To put it bluntly, the cake is so small, and now a powerful opponent has suddenly appeared, and everyone would be anxious.
Li Hanfeng was the one who jumped around the most happily, probably because they were the same age and were always mentioned and compared with each other by the elders in the family.
Li Hanfeng is 187cm tall, while Qin Yinghuai is 190cm tall.
Li Hanfeng graduated from a prestigious university and completed his bachelor's and master's degrees, while Qin Yinghuai skipped grades and completed all his studies long ago, and also made a name for himself in the field of foreign investment.
Li Hanfeng has superior looks, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and is the dream lover of thousands of girls. But when standing next to Qin Yinghuai, he can't even compare with Qin Yinghuai in terms of temperament.
After listening to Qin Yinghuai's simple explanation, Ji Shian thought of the series of gossip that Yan Che had shared with him before, and suddenly felt a little pity for him.
"It's not easy for Mr. Li either." After all, not everyone has a strong heart and can accept with peace of mind that their innate advantages are always surpassed by others.
The more Ji Shian thought about it, the more he felt a sense of déjà vu. "Why do I feel that Mr. Li's conditions are particularly similar to..." What about the control group?
The system suddenly spoke: [Male protagonist configuration!]
Ji Shian was startled and subconsciously stepped on the brakes. Fortunately, the car behind him was not following closely and no accident occurred.
Qin Yinghuai frowned and stopped chatting, "You scared her."
The system made a mistake and curled itself up into a ball in embarrassment.
It took him a while to realize that something was wrong, and his voice couldn't help but rise an octave.
How can you hear me?
The system was like being hit by a hammer, and it frantically checked its various settings.
Ji Shian was mentally prepared and drove steadily. Not far ahead was her boss's residence in the city center. After the car stopped steadily in the basement, she turned her attention to inquire about the situation.
The system has scanned itself from top to bottom several times, muttering to itself in disbelief.
Damn it!
Not only is it leaking air, but I can't find the hole.
Ji Shian cast a curious gaze at Qin Yinghuai. Qin Yinghuai paused when their eyes met and said defensively, "I just suddenly became able to hear it too."
Ji Shian scratched his head: "Boss, have you done anything different recently?"
Qin Yinghuai looked at Ji Shian steadily: "Probably not..." He said a bunch of very impolite and shameless words.
Ji Shian boldly guessed: "The system previously said that after completing the plot, I will be free and the world will be back on track..."
What if this sentence is not a gift at the end, but a constantly changing process?
The car was completely dark, lit only by a distant streetlight. They couldn't see each other's expressions, but they could both sense each other's excitement.
Ji Shian was very happy: I don’t have to be a mouthpiece anymore.
Ji Shian, having gotten rid of a burden, recalled what the system said when he nearly got into a car accident. "Tong, what's the configuration of the male protagonist you mentioned?"
The system was confused and felt that the two's guesses were not unreasonable. It quietly sent a message to its friends in the management bureau, and when it heard Ji Shian calling it, it quickly responded.
[Don’t you think Li Hanfeng’s beautiful, strong, and tragic character is very similar to the male protagonists in popular novels?]
Ji Shian and Qin Yinghuai subconsciously looked at each other. Their vision gradually adjusted to the dim environment, and they clearly captured each other's outlines. The next second, they said in unison:
"Tell me more about it."
