Zhang Yaqing's family is relatively well-off; her parents run a small construction company and she frequently travels abroad during her university years.
However, her parents' business later encountered difficulties, and during her senior year of college, it plummeted, leading to the complete decline of her family.
At that time, Zhang Yaqing was still very close to Lin Jinglong because Yang Ruoxue and Lin Jinglong were engaged.
Zhang Yaqing's father's construction company also has economic cooperation with the Lin family.
She originally wanted to use her relationship with Lin Jinglong and Yang Ruoxue to bring her family closer together.
Unexpectedly, his parents' company was on the verge of bankruptcy overnight, the Lin family fell into complete decline, and Lin Jinglong and Yang Ruoxue even broke off their engagement.
Over the years, Zhang Yaqing has worked her way up to a senior position in the company and become a supervisor.
A few days ago, she was transferred by Xia Wanying, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, to Lin's Department Store to work as the sales manager.
"Zhang Yaqing, what are you doing here?" Lin Jinglong frowned.
"How did I get here? Heh!"
"I'd like to ask you what you're doing here, you country bumpkin?" Zhang Yaqing looked Lin Jinglong up and down, her eyes full of disdain.
After several years, Zhang Yaqing had long lost her former innocence and become like a vulgar woman, as if she had been marinated in cosmetics.
Society has reshaped her from head to toe!
Zhang Yaqing had also heard about the Lin family's plight, and her eyes were filled with deep mockery.
"This Lin's Commercial Building was built by my father and grandfather through their hard work. Why can't I come here?" Lin Jinglong laughed.
"What?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Lin Jinglong, are you daydreaming? I know, there must be no internet in the mountains, so you have no idea what's happening in the city!"
"Let me tell you, the Lin Group was auctioned off half a month ago?"
"See those four big characters above? They're going to be torn down after today!"
"Do you really think your Lin family is still the top wealthy family in Beijing?"
Zhang Yaqing laughed until her stomach hurt. She just assumed that Lin Jinglong had gone to the mountains for three years and gone crazy!
"I know!"
"Xia Donghe bought it, and then he gave me the Lin's Commercial Building!"
Lin Jinglong didn't try to hide it; he told Zhang Yaqing directly.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Yaqing was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Lin Jinglong as if he were a fool.
"You're saying Xia Donghe bought this shopping mall and then gave it to you, right?"
"Lin Jinglong, why don't you just say you're the Jade Emperor? And that Xia Donghe gave you the Lin's Commercial Building, hahaha!"
Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?
"Do you know what kind of person Lord Xia is? He is the head of the Xia family, the founder of the Jinghai Chamber of Commerce, and has immense power and influence, with a net worth of hundreds of billions!"
"You country bumpkin from the mountains, a pathetic wretch from a fallen family, how dare you spout nonsense here!"
"Believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart?"
Zhang Yaqing almost laughed herself to death. Where did this clown come from, adding his own drama?
In the past, Zhang Yaqing would never have dared to speak to Lin Jinglong like that, but now, all of the Lin family's assets have been auctioned off.
This bastard just came out of the mountains, does he really think he's still that young master?
"Oh! Right, I forgot to tell you something!"
"I'm the sales manager here. Let's be friends for now!"
"I can give you a job cleaning toilets. This job is perfect for you right now!"
Because he arrived in a hurry, Lin Jinglong hadn't even changed into a decent set of clothes. Seeing his tattered clothes, Zhang Yaqing kept covering her mouth and laughing.
Seeing Zhang Yaqing mocking him like this, Lin Jinglong frowned: "Zhang Yaqing, I don't think I've ever provoked you, have I?"
"snort!"
"Lin Jinglong, my father was implicated by your Lin family and was targeted, which led to his bankruptcy!"
"It's truly the cycle of karma. If you ask me, there's not a single good person in your Lin family. Otherwise, how could your entire family have been wiped out!"
As soon as Zhang Yaqing uttered those words, a shadow instantly appeared in front of her.
*Slap!* A resounding slap landed hard on Zhang Yaqing's face.
The sudden slap made Zhang Yaqing see stars, and a moment later, a red handprint was left on her cheek.
"Lin Jinglong, you, you actually dared to hit me?"
Zhang Yaqing's face was full of disbelief. Lin Jinglong, this country bumpkin, actually hit her. This was simply an act of insubordination.
"I'm going to beat you up, you shameless bastard!"
"From today onwards, you can get out of here!"
Lin Jinglong looked at Zhang Yaqing coldly, while Zhang Yaqing's face was extremely gloomy.
From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
"You piece of trash, how dare you hit me! You're dead today!"
As Zhang Yaqing was speaking, suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in an expensive suit, leather shoes, and wearing glasses hurriedly walked out of the shopping mall.
As soon as they stepped outside, the man noticed Lin Jinglong. Upon seeing him, Zhang Yaqing immediately changed her attitude and fawned over him like a lapdog.
"Mr. Liu, you've finally arrived! This bastard just slandered Lord Xia, saying that Lord Xia gave him this shopping mall, and he even hit me!"
"You must stand up for me!"
Zhang Yaqing kept rubbing her body against the man's, looking like a seductive vixen.
The man surnamed Liu then reached out and his hand roamed over Zhang Yaqing's waist and buttocks.
"Ha! So you got the manager position by showing off your charm!"
"You perfectly match my impression of you!" Lin Jinglong said with a faint smile.
Zhang Yaqing glared at him venomously: "What did you say?"
"President Liu, did you hear that? This piece of trash insulted me, the Xia family, and the entire company! You must not let him get away with this!"
Zhang Yaqing kept adding fuel to the fire in front of President Liu, and President Liu's expression instantly turned cold.
"Where did this little bastard come from? Get over here and apologize to Yaqing right now!"
"You've slandered the Xia family? Believe me, I can make you die without a burial place with just one phone call?"
Mr. Liu's tone was full of threat. He did have the ability, because Xia Donghe was his maternal uncle.
He is also one of the chairmen of this shopping mall.
It can be said that, apart from Xia Wanying, he is the most powerful person in this company.
"Oh! Is that so?"
"Then call Xia Donghe now and tell him to come over and talk to me!" Lin Jinglong's lips curled into a slight smile.
"You still want to see Lord Xia? Who do you think you are? You're not even worthy to carry Lord Xia's shoes!"
"Do you think someone as high-ranking as Lord Xia is someone you, a good-for-nothing country bumpkin, can just meet whenever you want?" Zhang Yaqing said like a complaining woman.
Just as Zhang Yaqing finished speaking, a luxury Rolls-Royce was seen driving towards them from a distance.
The Rolls-Royce braked suddenly and stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall. Then, Xia Donghe and a tall, leggy beauty who was 1.8 meters tall got out of the back seat.
