“Hahaha, let me solve this matter!”

Zhang Shaojie’s voice followed immediately as he strode into the Qiao home.

Seeing Zhang Shaojie, Pang Xiuyun couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised. “Young Master Zhang, you have a way?”

Zhang Shaojie said calmly, “Previously, Sun Xingzhang, the President of the Bank of Zhonghai, loaned twenty billion to our Zhang Group.”

“For this twenty billion, he begged my dad like he was begging his ancestors before my dad finally agreed to accept it.”

“Asking him to resolve this matter is just a small effort for me!”

Qi Dengxian wanted to laugh. When Sun Xingzhang and Huang Wenlang were talking, they both said the Zhang Group was already insolvent and could go bankrupt at any moment.

Sun Xingzhang had rejected the Zhang Group’s loan long ago, but now, in Zhang Shaojie’s mouth, it became Sun Xingzhang begging the Zhang Group to accept the loan.

If it were in the past, the Zhang Group, as a high-quality enterprise, might still have had that hope, but now…

Qi Dengxian could only shake his head.

The key point was that the Qiao family still believed Zhang Shaojie’s words deeply, treating them like imperial edicts, which made him quite helpless.

“Mengmeng, just focus on your work. Leave these troublesome matters to me!” Zhang Shaojie smiled.

“Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang!” Qiao Qiumeng nodded.

Zhang Shaojie had a smile on his face, but he thought to himself: Anyway, I’ll most likely be running off to the US in two days. Scamming them one last time before leaving doesn’t hurt…

Qiao Guotao still insisted on Qi Dengxian working at the Qiao Corporation, but Qi Dengxian continued to make excuses repeatedly.

“Then you must find a job that satisfies me. Otherwise, you still have to come to work at the Qiao Corporation! This is my order!” Qiao Guotao finally became stern.

“Uh… alright then!” Qi Dengxian nodded helplessly and agreed, already starting to ponder in his heart.

He didn’t stay at the Qiao home for dinner but went directly to the Xiang Group.

Xu Aoxue was preparing to move against the Xiang Group, and even Yu Xiaolong would be involved. Qi Dengxian intended to fulfill his promise to Old Xiang and also wanted to give that arrogant woman, Yu Xiaolong, a slap in the face to wake her up thoroughly!

“I’m looking for President Xiang!” Qi Dengxian arrived at the reception desk of the Xiang Group and got straight to the point.

“Do you have an appointment?” The receptionist asked somewhat hesitantly.

Qi Dengxian said, “Tell her I am sent by Xiang Donglei. She will see me.”

The receptionist had heard the name “Xiang Donglei” and knew clearly that this name was a taboo in the company. Her face turned pale with fright, and she dared not make the decision herself, so she called upstairs to report.

Qi Dengxian’s gaze shifted, spotting a destitute-looking middle-aged man in a wrinkled black suit entering the elevator. He frowned slightly.

At this moment, the receptionist put down the landline phone and looked at Qi Dengxian awkwardly, saying, “President Xiang said…”

“Said what?” Qi Dengxian asked.

“President Xiang said for you to get lost,” the receptionist said awkwardly.

Qi Dengxian’s expression darkened. As expected, after so many years, Xiang Dongqing still couldn’t forgive Old Xiang for what he did back then.

If Old Xiang had done business honestly back then and hadn’t touched those crooked ways, the Xiang family wouldn’t have had so many people die.

Taking advantage of no one noticing, Qi Dengxian slipped directly into the stairwell. If not for the possibility that Xiang Dongqing might be in danger, he wouldn’t use this method.

Running up the stairs, Qi Dengxian sprinted all the way. His physical fitness was astonishing; he actually ran faster than the elevator!

Before long, he arrived at the top floor, the nineteenth floor.

There was a small desk outside the Chairman’s office. A pretty female secretary sat at the desk, reviewing documents.

Qi Dengxian walked over. The secretary immediately stood up and frowned, “Sir, who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for President Xiang,” Qi Dengxian said calmly.

“Do you have an appointment?” the secretary asked again.

“No. Xiang Donglei asked me to come,” Qi Dengxian said.

Hearing this name, the secretary’s face changed instantly, turning gloomy. She said, “Didn’t we just tell you to leave?!”

“President Xiang doesn’t want to hear this name. So, please leave immediately! Otherwise, I will call security or call the police directly to deal with you!”

Qi Dengxian couldn’t help but smile and said, “Your boss is currently in mortal danger. Are you sure you want to deal with me first?”

Hearing this, the secretary’s face became even gloomier, thinking Qi Dengxian was alarmist.

“President Xiang is currently receiving President Wen from the Xingxing Electronics Factory. She has no time to see you! Moreover, since you were introduced by that scourge Xiang Donglei, she definitely won’t see you! Threatening us is useless!” the secretary said toughly.

The office door had excellent soundproofing, but some imperceptible sounds still leaked out.

With Qi Dengxian’s hearing, he could hear the rustling of grass and the blowing of wind clearly within a fifty-meter radius. This little commotion naturally couldn’t escape his ears.

He couldn’t be bothered to talk to the secretary anymore. He spread his legs into a bow stance, turned his body, and aimed at the door.

“What are you doing?!” The secretary was shocked. She hadn’t expected someone to dare cause trouble here.

Qi Dengxian raised his right leg, twisted his waist and hips, and landed a standard front kick on the door. With a boom, the entire door was kicked flying inward!

“That door is supported by the highest-end bulletproof and explosion-proof technology…” The secretary opened her mouth wide, so shocked she couldn’t say a word.

Inside the door, a man with homemade high explosives strapped all over his body stood fiercely in front of the desk, speaking intensely.

The noise of the door being kicked open startled the two people inside the office.

This man was precisely the destitute middle-aged man Qi Dengxian had seen on the first floor.

Sitting behind the desk was Xiang Dongqing herself. She wore a white professional blouse and a black pencil skirt. Her long hair was tied in a bun at the back of her head, secured with a pencil. She looked very capable. However, no matter how capable she looked, it absolutely couldn’t affect her flower-like beauty.

But at this moment, she appeared slightly flustered.

“Don’t come over! If you take another step, we’ll die together!” President Wen, holding the explosives, roared furiously at Qi Dengxian, his eyes bloodshot like a trapped beast.

Xiang Dongqing glanced at Qi Dengxian, then turned back to President Wen and said, “President Wen, I absolutely cannot agree to what you said. This is a matter of principle!”

“Xingxing Electronics Factory cut corners, leading to the products I ordered failing to meet standards. This is a problem of your poor supervision, not a problem of our Xiang Group.”

President Wen turned his head and gritted his teeth, “Xiang Dongqing, you bitch, are you unwilling to give me even a sliver of a way to live?!”

Xiang Dongqing said expressionlessly, “You chose the road yourself. It has nothing to do with me.”

President Wen raged, “Then let’s die together!”

The scene inside the office scared the little secretary outside so much that she trembled and sat down on the floor.

Qi Dengxian, however, looked completely calm, hands in his pockets, watching silently.

“Fine! My survival was already a stroke of luck; my life is cheap anyway. If I die, it ends everything, and I can go accompany my parents!” Xiang Dongqing suddenly slammed the table and stood up abruptly. It was as if she were the one holding the explosives; her aura actually completely suppressed President Wen.

Hearing these words, President Wen’s face turned pale, and his emotions became even more agitated…

“Truly a woman tougher than a man!” Seeing this, Qi Dengxian couldn’t help but slowly pull his hands out of his pockets.
