Crack!
A loud slap echoed through the scene.
Everyone was stunned, utterly disbelieving that the young master of the prestigious Cheng family had been slapped in front of everyone.
"You... you dare hit me?" Cheng Kaile was also stunned. For a moment, he felt like he hadn't been hit, but the pain on his face told him that he had indeed been slapped.
Don't hit a man in the face!
Especially for a young master from a top family like Cheng Kaile, his pride and reputation were often more important.
He absolutely could not accept being slapped!
"What if I hit you?" Li Se said disdainfully, "Get lost, and you dare to come and threaten me? You think you're worthy?"
Cheng Kaile's eyes turned red, and he said fiercely, "You will regret this!!!"
With that, Cheng Kaile got into his sports car and left.
"Sister Min, let's go, we're going inside. If any more idiots like this show up, just have security kick them out," Li Se said, putting his arm around Zhang Aimin as they walked into the company.
"You know, this move will definitely provoke Cheng Kaile. He might know our material suppliers," Zhang Aimin said helplessly.
"So what if he does?" Li Se was indifferent.
Trouble did indeed arise. Less than an hour later, Cheng Kaile returned, this time bringing several suppliers with him.
Mu Zi Group was involved in various industries, and both pharmaceuticals and cosmetics required suppliers. They manufactured their own drugs and cosmetics but needed materials for production. In Qingyun City, they had their own suppliers, but upon arriving in the capital, they definitely needed new ones.
Cheng Kaile brought these suppliers, all the suppliers that had been cooperating with Mu Zi Group.
As soon as Cheng Kaile saw Li Se, his anger flared. He sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said bluntly, "Zhang Aimin, I gave you a chance just now, and you didn't cherish it. Now, come and sit on my lap."
As he said this, he patted his thigh.
"Everyone, what do you mean by this?"
However, Zhang Aimin completely ignored Cheng Kaile and instead looked at the suppliers, "Our cooperation is all under contract. Are you trying to breach it?"
"Ms. Zhang, we don't know about breaching the contract, but we advise you to listen to us and not go against Young Master Cheng. It won't do you or the company any good," one of the suppliers said.
Zhang Aimin's expression darkened. If these suppliers refused to supply goods, even if it was a breach of contract, the losses for Mu Zi Group would be severe. The main issue was that these suppliers were all the companies currently cooperating with Mu Zi Group.
"Heh heh, Zhang Aimin, did you hear that? If you sit on my lap now, I can still get them to lower the prices by thirty percent. If you refuse, then we'll just have to cancel the cooperation," Cheng Kaile chuckled.
He enjoyed this sense of control. Mu Zi Group had indeed risen quite quickly in the capital, but so what? In Cheng Kaile's eyes, they were nothing.
"It seems you really like threatening people?" Li Se walked out, slowly approaching Cheng Kaile.
Li Se's silence was one thing, but his words made Cheng Kaile furious. He waved his hand, and a man in a suit stepped forward.
"Kid, you slapped me just now, right? Now I want you to kneel down and slap yourself ten times!" Cheng Kaile gritted his teeth.
Li Se, however, said disdainfully, "I said, you're not worthy!"
"Then you can try!" Cheng Kaile sneered.
The man in the suit had already blocked Li Se's path and said calmly, "Do as Young Master says, and you can suffer less physical pain."
"Who is this kid? He actually dares to hit Young Master Cheng?"
"No matter who it is, he has to pay the price today!"
"Mu Zi Group has been gaining momentum recently, but in front of Young Master Cheng, they're still a bit short."
"They shouldn't have offended Young Master Cheng."
"..."
These suppliers were all shaking their heads and murmuring.
In their opinion, no matter how powerful Mu Zi Group was, they couldn't compare to the Cheng family, not even on the same level!
In the capital, power is noble!
This referred to these top families.
Li Se looked at these suppliers and said slowly, "Are you sure you want to listen to this Cheng Kaile? And cancel your cooperation with our Mu Zi Group?"
One of the suppliers immediately said, "Young Master Cheng is not someone you can afford to offend. If you want to cooperate, you have to do as Young Master Cheng says. Otherwise, we will also have to cancel the cooperation."
"Then cancel the cooperation!" Li Se said decisively. "We'll find new suppliers."
"Ridiculous!"
These suppliers all scoffed.
"Young people are just young people. Find new suppliers? Don't be silly. We are the best in this aspect in the capital. If we don't agree, even if you find new suppliers, they won't dare to cooperate with you."
"Listen to us, do as Young Master Cheng says and kneel down to slap yourself ten times. That way, there might still be a glimmer of hope."
"Also, Ms. Zhang, hurry up and sit on Young Master Cheng's lap. If you compromise, then the cooperation issues will definitely be no problem."
"..."
These suppliers naturally bowed to Cheng Kaile.
Li Se's defiance of Cheng Kaile was akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"This is your choice. If you want to cancel the cooperation, then let's cancel it!" Li Se said decisively.
"Ignorance is bliss!" the suppliers sneered. Li Se was, after all, too young.
"Zhang Aimin, what, are you going to listen to a pretty boy?" Cheng Kaile glanced at Zhang Aimin.
Zhang Aimin simply said calmly, "Whatever my husband says, that's what it is!"
Cheng Kaile was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Good, good, good. Since you've decided this, don't regret it."
"I'd like to know, how are you going to make us regret it?" Li Se narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them.
"Make this kid kneel down!" Cheng Kaile said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the man in the suit directly made his move. He grabbed Li Se's arm, intending to force Li Se to the ground, but as he exerted his strength, he was shocked to find that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't force Li Se to the ground.
How could this be?
The man in the suit's face changed greatly.
"Scram!"
Li Se shouted coldly, and with a shake of his shoulder, he actually sent the man in the suit flying four or five meters away.
"An... ancient martial artist?" The man in the suit lay on the ground, in great pain, and the word "ancient martial artist" came to his mind.
This was bad. This guy was actually an ancient martial artist!
