Who Dares Block the Door of Zhang San?

"It seems Young Master Tang really has some skills. He took such a fierce attack head-on and didn't suffer any injuries, while that brainless bodyguard is now unable to move!"

"Hiring such a mindless brute as a bodyguard, the Lin family must be blind!"

"Exactly, it's a good thing Young Master Tang wasn't hurt. Otherwise, the Lin family would be in big trouble!"

"What do you mean? Just the fact that this bodyguard dared to attack Young Master Tang in public means the Lin family is already in trouble. If Lin Ruoxue doesn't handle this well, the Lin family might as well be erased from Longquan City!"

The private room buzzed with conversation.

Lin Ruoxue stood before Ye Chen, her face growing darker by the moment:

"Ye Chen, you're fired! Thanks to you, all the Lin family members, including my grandfather, have to go to the Tang family this afternoon to apologize and beg for forgiveness!"

Ye Chen struggled to open his eyes, speaking weakly, "Ruoxue... I... please let me explain, it was all a misunderstanding..."

"Enough! Ye Chen, haven't you harmed me enough?" Lin Ruoxue couldn't hold back her tears. "I can't understand what the Lin family ever did to you to deserve such calculated revenge?"

Hearing Lin Ruoxue's sobs and seeing the tears streaming down her face, Ye Chen lowered his head in despair. "I... I'm sorry... I was wrong..."

"Sorry? If you're truly sorry, then please stay away from me and Young Master Tang from now on. I'm officially telling you and everyone else, anyone who dares to attack Young Master Tang is attacking the Lin family. Even though we're a small family, we keep our promises and see things through. Feel free to test us!"

After speaking, Lin Ruoxue took a step forward and swung her arm, landing a loud slap on Ye Chen's face. "This slap is for you as a bodyguard, failing to follow your employer's orders!"

She then raised her arm again and delivered another hard slap. "This slap is for your arrogance, daring to attack Young Master Tang!"

With these two consecutive slaps, Ye Chen's face bore five bright red fingerprints, which began to swell visibly.

What a disgrace!

Ye Chen felt like he was about to explode with anger and humiliation. His emotions surged, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood mixed with unabsorbed medicine remnants.

That spurt of blood cost him at least a third of the medicine's efficacy!

Ye Chen's body could no longer hold up; he collapsed to the ground, his head lolling to the side.

Tang Ao watched in disbelief, his eyes nearly popping out of his head!

[Oh my God! Lin Ruoxue, did Liang Jingru give you the courage?]

[You're part of Ye Chen's harem! These two slaps have essentially driven away your future husband!]

[Ye Chen, I really did my best. Why did you have to lose your temper like that? You could have come over and slapped me a few times to pretend. Wouldn't that have been more satisfying than resorting to violence?]

[Of all the people you could fight, why me?]

If Ye Chen could hear Tang Ao's thoughts, he might have spat out another mouthful of blood and died on the spot, becoming the most aggrieved protagonist in history.

Hearing Tang Ao's inner voice, Zhou Qiao'er raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Ruoxue with cold eyes.

So, Lin Ruoxue and Ye Chen, the man who had caused the downfall of the Tang family, were a pair!

As the daughter of a top-tier wealthy family, especially after hearing Tang Ao's thoughts and understanding his feelings for her, Zhou Qiao'er had absolute confidence in her allure. Moreover, there had never been any animosity or interaction between Zhou Qiao'er and Lin Ruoxue before this moment, so even though Tang Ao had publicly pursued Lin Ruoxue several times, Zhou Qiao'er had never considered dealing with her.

But now...

Since Lin Ruoxue is part of Ye Chen's harem, she is an enemy of Tang Ao.

And an enemy of Tang Ao is an enemy of Zhou Qiao'er!

In her heart, Zhou Qiao'er silently marked Lin Ruoxue and Lin Pharmaceuticals as enemies.

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Ye Chen, who was lying at the entrance, was knocked by the door, letting out a muffled groan.

"Damn, who the hell dares to block the door of Zhang San!?"

Accompanied by a loud exclamation, a man wearing all name-brand clothes, adorned with a large gold chain, sparse hair, and a protruding belly walked in. He looked down at Ye Chen with disdain. "Who is this guy? He looks unfamiliar, probably not one of my classmates. Why is he lying at my door like a dog? He deserved to be knocked over!"

With that, Zhang San disdainfully stepped over Ye Chen and opened his arms to greet his old classmates in the room: "Hello, old classmates! I'm Zhang San. Sorry for being late; some foreigner insisted on talking business with me this morning. It was just a small deal, one or two million, but I said no, and he kept chasing me, causing my delay."

[Wow, this is a truly lovable and charming villain!]

[With a name like Zhang San, you just know he's an outstanding antagonist! I need to take notes on his hate-drawing skills.]

Everyone in the room turned their gaze to Zhang San, who waited for half a minute without receiving the expected cheers.

What's going on?

It shouldn't be like this. Did I not make myself clear enough just now?

Thinking this, Zhang San deliberately raised his wrist, showing off the sparkling Rolex on his arm. "That client insisted on giving me this Rolex after we closed the deal, saying it's worth over a hundred thousand and that I'd be disrespecting him if I didn't accept it. Ah, these days, once your business gets big, it's hard not to make money even if you don't want to. I don't really need his measly hundred thousand..."

Seeing that everyone was still looking at him with complex expressions, Zhang San frowned and decided to add more fuel to the fire: "Every day, I make hundreds of thousands without doing anything. I have so much money I don't know how to spend it. I really miss the days when I could only earn five hundred a month; those were the most comfortable times."

[Well said! As a fellow villain, I have to give you a thumbs up!]

Tang Ao couldn't be happier now, looking at Zhang San as if he had found a kindred spirit.

Meanwhile, Zhang San strangely noticed that after his impressive speech, everyone turned to look at Tang Ao instead, ignoring him completely.

Tang Ao, however, clapped enthusiastically: "Well said, well said!"

Following the applause, Zhang San looked over and, upon seeing Tang Ao's face, felt a jolt of fear that sent him crashing to the floor.

Zhang San had clearly taken a fall, yet why did his face feel like it was burning?

At this moment, he fully understood why no one in the private room had praised or echoed him.

Oh my God!

In front of whom had he just shown off his wealth and arrogance?

Tang Ao, as the godlike second-generation heir, was well-known throughout Longquan City. As someone who mingled in the business world, Zhang San was acutely aware of the Tang family's terrifying financial power.

The Tang family's one-minute cash flow exceeded what his small company made in ten years!

And he had been boasting about his wealth in front of Tang Ao. That was like a beggar bragging about his copper coins in front of an emperor!
