Zhang Yang stopped abruptly and turned to look.
Qi Dalei took a five-pointed star-shaped badge from his pocket.
On the badge,
A lifelike flood dragon was depicted.
"Zhang Yang, take this."
"What is this?" Zhang Yang did not take the medal, his face full of curiosity.
"This is the exclusive badge of the Dragon Group, a symbol of its members," Qi Dalei explained.
A symbol of Dragon Group members?
It seemed that
Qi Dalei intended to invite him to join the Dragon Group.
However,
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and refused.
"Captain Qi, I am just an ordinary person and do not wish to join the Dragon Group."
"That kind of life is not what I want. I still prefer my current life."
After speaking,
In Zhang Yang's mind,
Han Xiyao's face suddenly appeared.
Qi Dalei heard this and immediately smiled and shook his head.
Although Zhang Yang's medical skills were good and his combat skills were not bad,
Compared to the active members of the Dragon Group, there was still a considerable gap.
"You might have misunderstood my meaning."
"I'm giving you this badge just to have your name listed in the Dragon Group."
"This is also a precautionary measure."
"After all, given the Nan Gong family's character, they will definitely not let last night's incident go."
"But if you have the Dragon Group's badge, the Nan Gong family will have to think twice before seeking revenge."
Hearing this,
Zhang Yang was stunned.
So he had misunderstood.
This time,
It was a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Qi Dalei gave Zhang Yang a way to save face.
He smiled and said,
"Zhang Yang, don't be so polite. Just accept the badge."
"Even if it's just a nominal position in the Dragon Group, I might need your help with other things in the future."
After speaking,
Qi Dalei directly placed the badge into Zhang Yang's hand.
Zhang Yang looked at the badge in his palm and did not stand on ceremony.
He put it directly into his pocket.
"Alright, thank you, Captain Qi."
Qi Dalei smiled and shook his head, "No need to be polite."
...
After bidding farewell to Qi Dalei, Zhang Yang left the sanatorium alone.
He checked the time.
It was already past one in the afternoon.
He found a noodle restaurant near the sanatorium.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Zhang Yang went directly to the Han Group.
When he arrived at the company, it was just during work hours.
Zhang Yang entered the marketing department.
Li Dabai and Gao Xiaohei were as usual.
One was staring at the computer, fiddling with something.
The other was holding his phone, constantly tapping on it.
"Brother Zhang, you're here."
Seeing Zhang Yang arrive, Gao Xiaohei smiled heartily and got up to greet him.
Li Dabai, perhaps chatting with a girl, was at a critical moment.
He just smiled at Zhang Yang,
Then he focused on his phone, typing diligently.
From time to time, he would say some mushy words like 'baby' and 'darling'.
"By the way, have you seen the CEO today?" Zhang Yang asked, his expression somewhat unnatural as he thought about last night's events.
"No, I woke up late this morning. When I arrived at the company, Miss Xiyao's parking space was still empty," Li Dabai said.
After speaking, he continued to stare at his phone.
Gao Xiaohei scratched his head and began typing on the keyboard with both hands.
After a while,
He proactively smiled at Zhang Yang heartily.
"Brother Zhang, I just checked the company's access control system. The CEO did not come today."
"And not only the CEO is absent, but many other people are also absent today."
Zhang Yang became interested.
He quickly walked over to Gao Xiaohei, put his head close to the screen, and asked,
"Who else is absent?"
"Manager Shen is also absent today, and so are the company shareholders. None of them have come."
Gao Xiaohei scratched his head, a little confused.
In the past, these shareholders,
Although they didn't come to work every day, one or two of them would show up each day.
It seemed to be a scheduled rotation.
However,
A situation like today, where no one came to the company at all,
Was unprecedented.
Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes.
He pondered in his heart.
The situation today was indeed unusual.
Could it be because he had smashed the Sheraton Hotel last night?
Immediately,
Zhang Yang took out his phone.
He was about to call Shen Ling to ask if something was going on.
But the next moment,
Shen Ling's call came first.
Zhang Yang quickly answered, but after saying "hello" into the phone for a long time,
He couldn't hear Shen Ling's voice at all.
However,
Zhang Yang could hear a lot of noisy sounds coming from the other end of the phone.
These sounds were very familiar to Zhang Yang.
It was the voices of the Han Group shareholders and Han Xiyao!
Zhang Yang's heart immediately sank.
He quickly looked at Li Dabai and Gao Xiaohei and instructed them,
"Dabai, Xiaohei, you two stay and watch the company. I'm going out for a bit."
"Okay," Gao Xiaohei nodded honestly.
Li Dabai, however, had a lecherous look on his face and didn't hear what Zhang Yang was saying at all.
About five minutes after Zhang Yang left,
Li Dabai suddenly exclaimed, startling Gao Xiaohei next to him.
"Yay! This young master has been diligently and conscientiously wooing girls!"
"Finally, I've managed to get this sweet little cutie to agree to meet!"
...
At the same time,
Han Xiyao's villa was crowded with people.
These people
Were all shareholders of the Han Group.
Han Wenkang and his son sat quietly on the sofa, looking gleeful.
The collateral branches of the Han family,
On the other hand, their faces were grim, and they were scolding Han Xiyao.
"Han Xiyao, you've caused a huge disaster!"
"Can our Han family afford to offend the Nan Gong family from the provincial capital?"
"You incited Zhang Yang to cripple Nan Gong Yi last night and smashed up the Sheraton Hotel. Are you trying to push the Han family into a fiery abyss!"
"..."
Han Xiyao looked at them with a grim expression.
These people
Had been here for over an hour.
Ever since they arrived,
They had been lecturing and accusing her of wrongdoing.
However,
From beginning to end, no one had asked her what exactly happened last night.
"Everyone, besides being shareholders of the group, you are also elders to me, Han Xiyao."
"Don't you care about what I experienced last night?" Han Xiyao said in a clear and cold voice.
The Han shareholders responded with indifference.
They all said in a jumble,
"Does what happened matter?"
"We only know that the current situation is very serious. If we don't quell the Nan Gong family's anger,"
"Then the entire Han family will have to pay for what you and Zhang Yang have done!"
The shareholders' selfishness was so blatant that even Shen Ling, an outsider, couldn't stand it.
She felt it was unfair for Han Xiyao to have such relatives.
"Shareholders, it's not Zhang Yang and Xiyao's fault for what happened last night."
"It was Nan Gong Yi who secretly put... put an aphrodisiac in Xiyao's drink."
"Faced with such a situation, shouldn't Xiyao resist?" Shen Ling explained.
However,
Her explanation for Han Xiyao was met with angry reprimands from the shareholders.
"Shen Ling, this is a matter of my Han family. When did it become your turn to interfere?"
"Furthermore, even if Nan Gong Yi drugged her, it was Han Xiyao's own fault."
"We all know that yesterday Han Xiyao withdrew a 150 million cash check from the company's accounts."
"She was preparing to sign a contract with Nan Yi Real Estate for the joint development of old residential areas."
"Moreover, Han Xiyao took the initiative to invite Nan Gong Yi to dinner that night. Wasn't she throwing herself at him?"
"Truly, a prostitute who wants to be a saint..."
Bang!
The shareholders became more and more outrageous.
Han Xiyao became furious.
She slammed the coffee table and said in a deep voice,
"Have you all said enough?"
"Even if I, Han Xiyao, am incompetent, I wouldn't go so far as to sell my body!"
"You old guys have been here for half a day. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Seeing Han Xiyao's anger,
Han Wenkang and his son, who were sitting on the sofa, had particularly bright smiles on their faces.
Han Wenkang suddenly stood up.
With a look of disappointment, he sighed and said,
"Alas, Xiyao, the trouble you caused last night was too great."
"We have all discussed it. You must immediately apologize to Nan Gong Yi and seek his forgiveness."
"And you must personally go to the provincial capital to clarify that last night's events were your and Zhang Yang's personal actions."
"It must not involve the Han family, nor affect the interests of the Han Group!"
Han Xiyao stared at Han Wenkang, a cold smile on her face.
Today, these shareholders, arriving at her residence so harmoniously,
Within this,
There must definitely be the shadow of her 'good' second uncle.
"Why should I apologize to Nan Gong Yi? That's impossible!"
Han Xiyao sneered, "You should understand that I am the victim!"
Han Wenkang heard this and narrowed his eyes, but said nothing.
However,
Han Shaowei, who was ready on the side, quickly stepped forward.
"You don't want to apologize? That's not up to you," Han Shaowei said sternly.
