“Alright, ten minutes are up!”

Zhang Zilong glanced at his watch, stood up directly, and signaled for the security guards at the door to come in.

The security guards walked in with menacing auras, rubber batons in hand. They tapped the batons lightly against their palms, producing a rhythmic thwack-thwack sound.

Zhang Zilong narrowed his eyes and sneered at Qi Dengxian, “Will you kneel and surrender yourself, or wait for my command?”

“I told you, this little punk was just faking power. How could he really have Mayor Huang’s number!”

“Manager Zhang, don’t let this mongrel off for acting tough in our bank. Make him pay the price, or any cat or dog will dare to cause trouble in the future.”

“Right, make an example of him. See who dares to cause trouble in our bank after this?!”

Zhang Zilong smiled at Qi Dengxian. “You heard them? I’ll give you three seconds to consider.”

Qi Dengxian didn’t speak; he just stood up silently.

Zhang Zilong’s eyes turned cold, and he shouted at the security guards, “Beat him!”

The security guards raised their rubber batons and were about to rush forward, but at this critical moment, a roar came from outside the door.

“I’d like to see who dares!”

Hearing this voice, the surrounding staff hurriedly turned their heads and saw Sun Xingzhang walking in from outside with a dark face.

“President Sun, you’re here! There’s a little punk causing trouble here, and Manager Zhang is preparing to deal with him…”

“President Sun, you came at the perfect time. Manager Zhang is establishing authority for our bank; you should reward him well!”

Zhang Zilong waved his hand at the security guards to stop them, then stood up and bowed to Sun Xingzhang, smiling, “Boss, you’re here!”

Sun Xingzhang’s face was black as he asked coldly, “What is going on?!”

“This little punk came to the bank to act tough. Now that President Sun is really here, let’s see how he wraps this up!”

“He’s done all the pretending he can. In front of President Sun, let’s see how he continues to pretend!”

Zhang Zilong handed a cigarette to Sun Xingzhang and said with a chuckle, “Boss, the Qiao Corporation sent some little punk from who knows where, insisting that I release the loan, and he even beat up my assistant. Wasn’t I just preparing to deal with him?”

“This kid pretended to call Mayor Huang, acting like he’s second only to the heavens. Truly unbearable pretense.”

“I don’t know where this pauper popped out from. Such inflated vanity—it’s simply laughable!”

“Boss, you don’t need to be angry. I’ll take care of this little punk right away and let him know the consequences of offending our Bank of Zhonghai.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Qi Dengxian, who was leaning against the side.

Sun Xingzhang turned his head and saw Qi Dengxian. The cigarette in his hand trembled slightly, and his entire face instantly became even darker.

“President Sun, the quality of your subordinates is quite something. My wife came to him seriously to discuss business and solve problems, but he bought a maid outfit from somewhere and insisted my wife wear it to talk to him!” Qi Dengxian saw Sun Xingzhang looking at him and spoke with a faint, mocking smile.

“Fuck! I’m the manager of the Bank of Zhonghai. Messing with you is my prerogative. You got a problem with that?!”

“So what if I asked your wife to wear a maid outfit to talk to me? Me being willing to give a chance is showing respect to your tiny fart of a company!”

“Forget wearing a maid outfit—even if I asked your wife to talk to me naked and turned your head green, you’d fucking have to endure it!”

Zhang Zilong was clearly Sun Xingzhang’s confidant. Even in front of him, he spoke unscrupulously and extremely arrogantly.

“Manager Zhang speaks so domineeringly. Even in front of President Sun, he dares to say this!”

“Nonsense. Manager Zhang is President Sun’s confidant and has signed so many big clients. Being a bit arrogant is normal.”

“If I could reach Manager Zhang’s height in the future, that would be great. So envious…”

Qi Dengxian smiled. Moving like lightning, Pa!—he delivered a huge slap directly onto Zhang Zilong’s mouth.

This slap drew blood from the corner of Zhang Zilong’s mouth and made him dizzy. He fell back onto the sofa, barely managing not to pass out.

Likewise, this slap silenced the noisy scene instantly!

The staff members stared dumbfounded, sucking in cold air one after another to calm their restless hearts.

This little punk… is this crazy? In front of President Sun, he rewarded Manager Zhang with a slap to the face?!

Qi Dengxian turned to Sun Xingzhang and sneered, “President Sun, your ability to educate your subordinates seems to be lacking!”

“This guy has lost his mind from pretending. After hitting Manager Zhang, he dares to speak to President Sun in this tone?!”

“Damn, he’s really seeking death. President Sun, quickly have someone deal with this little punk, or where will our bank’s face go?”

“Look at President Sun’s face, it’s scary dark. clearly, he’s really angry… The little punk is dead meat! The Qiao Corporation will have to go bankrupt tonight!”

Zhang Zilong snapped out of it and pointed at Qi Dengxian, roaring, “You little punk, you have some fucking nerve!”

Sun Xingzhang suddenly turned his head, raised his hand, and rewarded the other half of Zhang Zilong’s face with a huge slap.

Pa!

This slap knocked Zhang Zilong flat onto the sofa, hissing in pain, unable to get up for a moment.

“Master Qi’s lesson is correct. It is my lax discipline that allowed such a foul-mouthed scoundrel to appear under me!” The veins on Sun Xingzhang’s forehead were throbbing wildly.

Who was Qi Dengxian?

That was an existence whom Mayor Huang Wenlang stood outside the hotel entrance to welcome respectfully! A VIP who sat at the head table alongside Wang Wanjin, Sun Qingxuan, and Huang Wenlang!

Zhang Zilong, this idiot who didn’t know death when he saw it, actually dared to offend such a big shot. Was he trying to bury Sun Xingzhang’s future?

“What?!”

Seeing Sun Xingzhang slap Zhang Zilong across the face, everyone stood frozen on the spot, as if hallucinating.

Moreover, Sun Xingzhang was apologizing to Qi Dengxian, saying his own discipline was lax.

“Master Qi is a VIP whom even Mayor Huang respects greatly. Today he gave you face by coming to solve the problem with you. Not only did you bully Master Qi’s wife, but you also dared to act like a hooligan in front of him?!” Sun Xingzhang kicked Zhang Zilong, making him curl up into a ball.

Sun Xingzhang’s words made everyone’s heads explode instantly!

It turned out Qi Dengxian wasn’t pretending; he really knew Mayor Huang Wenlang. That phone call was absolutely real!

Where did the Qiao Corporation find such an awesome young man?

When did Qiao Qiumeng find a husband with such a terrifying background?

Sun Xingzhang was red in the face with anger, the veins on his forehead jumping repeatedly.

Zhang Zilong’s assistant woke up at this moment. Seeing this scene, he was so frightened that his eyes rolled back, and he passed out again.

“Playing dead for me? Roll up here and kneel to apologize to Master Qi!” Sun Xingzhang roared, dragging Zhang Zilong up from the sofa.

Zhang Zilong was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Qi Dengxian, at a loss for what to do.

Pa!

Sun Xingzhang raised his hand and slapped Zhang Zilong’s face viciously again, roaring, “Are you deaf?!”

With a mourning face, Zhang Zilong’s knees hit the floor with a thud. He knelt directly before Qi Dengxian.

This scene left the staff present, dumbstruck. The always arrogant and domineering Manager Zhang actually knelt to someone?

They rubbed their eyes vigorously, somewhat unable to believe everything happening before them.
