The Xiang Group was a well-known enterprise in Zhonghai City, with a total value exceeding ten billion.
However, it had encountered trouble this year, being targeted by the Tiger Gate Group.
The wealthy and imposing Young Master of the Tiger Gate Group, Wang Hu, first launched a pursuit of Xiang Dongqing.
Of course, a woman with Xiang Dongqing’s personality couldn’t possibly agree. She even played Wang Hu for a fool, causing the Tiger Gate Group to suffer a considerable loss.
Ashamed and angry, Wang Hu immediately began to target Xiang Dongqing, which led to the setbacks the Xiang Group was currently facing. It even attracted the covetous gaze of hungry wolves from the capital.
While slightly understanding the recent situation of the Xiang Group through his own information channels, Qi Dengxian had already walked to the headquarters of the Bank of Zhonghai.
He learned that the manager responsible for the Qiao Corporation’s loan business was named Zhang Zilong, so he went straight to find him.
“Who are you looking for?” In the manager’s office, there was only a relatively young man dressed in a suit and leather shoes.
“I’m looking for Manager Zhang,” Qi Dengxian said calmly.
“What for?” This man was most likely Zhang Zilong’s assistant or something similar, asking immediately.
“To chat about the Qiao family’s loan,” Qi Dengxian said truthfully.
Hearing this, the assistant couldn’t help but laugh. He bent down, opened a drawer, took out a black plastic bag, and threw it directly in front of Qi Dengxian.
Qi Dengxian was stunned. Looking through the gap where it wasn’t wrapped well, he discovered that inside seemed to be a blue and white sexy maid outfit.
This made him frown repeatedly, unable to understand the other party’s meaning.
The assistant said indifferently, “Take it back and have Qiao Qiumeng put it on, then come back to talk to our Manager Zhang!”
Qi Dengxian looked at the black plastic bag, a faint smile that wasn’t quite a smile appearing on his face. He and Qiao Qiumeng had just gotten married, but he hadn’t even seen Qiao Qiumeng wear this kind of outfit yet.
This guy named Zhang Zilong was preparing to play this game? He really knew some “sentiment”!
“Manager Zhang has already given the condition. If it can’t be done, don’t come here to cause trouble. We are very busy!” The assistant looked at Qi Dengxian with a fake smile, preparing to see the guest out.
“You’d best call him over.” Qi Dengxian squinted his left eye slightly, then smiled very seriously.
Hearing this, the assistant’s face was full of disdain. He said, “What kind of thing are you? Our Manager Zhang handles thousands of matters daily, processing tens or hundreds of millions in business a day. For that little, trivial matter of the Qiao family, he already gave Qiao Qiumeng a chance! If the Qiao Corporation wants to get that loan, then obediently have Qiao Qiumeng put on this outfit and come talk to Manager Zhang.”
Before his voice had even faded, Qi Dengxian stepped forward, grabbed his head with one hand, and smashed it viciously against the desk!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Very rhythmic impact sounds!
Qi Dengxian liked this sound, so he nodded while squinting, making the sound ring out a few more times.
The assistant’s face was covered in blood, his nose bridge broken, wailing in pain. Yet his mouth didn’t forget to warn him: “You motherfucker… daring to hit someone in the Bank of Zhonghai! I am Manager Zhang’s assistant!”
“You touched me. Even if Qiao Qiumeng comes to find Manager Zhang wearing nothing, this loan won’t be negotiated!”
“Not only that, but I will also make your Qiao Corporation go bankrupt directly!”
Qi Dengxian pressed down on the assistant’s head and said with a fake smile, “Now, call Zhang Zilong and tell him to come over. I’ll give you three minutes. If he doesn’t arrive within three minutes, I’ll let you taste what it’s like to kiss the desk again!”
Seeing the cold light bursting from Qi Dengxian’s eyes, the assistant shivered involuntarily. Trembling, he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Zhang Zilong.
“What the hell? Don’t you know I’m busy receiving a big client?!” Zhang Zilong asked unhappily.
“Manager Zhang… someone from the Qiao Corporation is here…” the assistant said tremblingly.
“Oh? Is President Qiao ready to put on that maid outfit and have a good talk with me?” Zhang Zilong’s unhappy mood vanished instantly, and he asked with a smile.
The assistant said, “No… no, a man came and beat me up… and said if you don’t come over within three minutes, he’ll cripple me!”
Hearing this, Zhang Zilong immediately flew into a rage. “What? Beat you up in my office? I’m coming over right now. Tell him to wait for me!”
After hanging up the phone, the assistant’s attitude became arrogant again.
“Manager Zhang said he’s coming right away. Prepare your funeral arrangements!” The assistant stared at Qi Dengxian, his eyes revealing a fierce light.
“Kneel when speaking to me!” Qi Dengxian raised an eyebrow and kicked him in the knee. With a thud, the assistant was kicked directly to his knees.
The commotion in the office had long alarmed the staff of the Bank of Zhonghai.
Seeing such a big incident inside, they all looked at each other.
“What year is this? Someone actually dares to cause trouble at Manager Zhang’s door. Do they think their life is too long?”
“Who doesn’t know Manager Zhang is President Sun’s confidant? Daring to beat his assistant in Manager Zhang’s office—I think this person is really brain-damaged!”
“Heard he’s from the Qiao Corporation? I think the Qiao Corporation doesn’t want to survive, right? They still owe our bank a hundred million loans. When Manager Zhang tightens the rope later, he can make the Qiao Corporation go bankrupt in minutes!”
Seeing this scene, everyone discussed animatedly.
The assistant, kicked to his knees by Qi Dengxian and watched by so many people, had lost all face. But hearing the words from outside, his confidence grew stronger and stronger!
“You’d better think about how to explain clearly to Manager Zhang later! If you can’t satisfy Manager Zhang, everyone in your entire Qiao Corporation can just wait to sleep on the streets!” the assistant sneered.
“So noisy!” Qi Dengxian casually picked up a pack of cigarettes from the desk, took one out, but didn’t light it, just playing with it in his hand.
Outside, another burst of noise came.
“Manager Zhang, you’re finally here. Some reckless guy beat your assistant in your office!”
“Manager Zhang, for such a blind person, why do you need to do it yourself? Just give the order, and I’ll make him know how to write the word ‘death’ in minutes!”
Seeing Zhang Zilong, some people immediately went up to flatter him, showing that Zhang Zilong held a very high status in the Bank of Zhonghai.
Zhang Zilong wore a black suit, his tie tied very formally. He exuded a meticulous dignity as he strode toward his office.
Seeing Zhang Zilong appear, the assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief and had the confidence to stand up. At the same time, he gritted his teeth at Qi Dengxian: “You can fight really well, right?”
“Now that Manager Zhang is here, if you have the guts, try hitting me once in front of his face?!”
Qi Dengxian played with the cigarette in one hand and pressed the other onto the back of the assistant’s head. Bang! The assistant’s face had intimate contact with the desk again.
This noisy guy passed out cold. Qi Dengxian felt the world had become much cleaner.
Outside the door, there was dead silence.
Zhang Zilong had arrived, yet Qi Dengxian still dared to deal with his assistant right in front of his face?
This courage was truly not small!
