Madame Huang played the victim first, "Mr. Feng, you've arrived just in time. The Ye family is really relying on their connections here, trying to stir up trouble..."
Before she could finish, she saw Qi Xifeng nod at Yu He and say, "Miss Yu, my apologies."
It was Yu He's first time meeting Qi Xifeng, and she was unsure of his intentions.
Seeing this, Madame Huang was overjoyed. As expected of Mr. Feng, who made XS Group go public in just one year, he not only knew how to handle things but was also very efficient!
Whether Yu He was Crow, Vlucan, or S, on XS Group's home turf, Mr. Qi was the host!
As long as Mr. Qi kicked them out, the competition would be over, and the apology would be void.
With a wave of Qi Xifeng's hand, the bodyguards behind him stepped forward, grabbed Madame Huang and the other two, and prepared to "escort" them out.
Madame Huang: ???
Madame Huang: "Mr. Qi, have you made a mistake? It's her..."
"Madame Huang, your actions make me seriously doubt your Huang Corporation's production and management capabilities. For the new quarter's processing plan, I think we'll need to find a new partner," Qi Xifeng politely interrupted her. "I apologize, but we have distinguished guests tonight, so we won't be keeping you for more drinks."
To kick someone out so elegantly.
"Boom—"
Madame Huang was struck by lightning, scorched inside and out, and stood frozen in place.
"Slap—"
At this moment, Huang Fengqiang, the CEO of Huang Corporation, finally pushed through the crowd and slapped Madame Huang heavily across the face, cursing, "Wicked woman!"
Then, he turned around, a fawning smile plastered on his face, and said apologetically:
"Mr. Qi, Mr. Ye, Young Master Ye, I'm very sorry. My wife is crude and has offended you. I'll make sure to keep this mad dog from biting people randomly in the future. Please forgive us. I'll have them leave now and stop bothering your eyes."
They were invited to XS Group's third-anniversary celebration hoping to continue their cooperation with XS Group for new system production and to secure the production license for new chips in advance, but this wicked woman stirred up trouble. Not only did their plans fall through, but they also lost a massive order for the new quarter!
After speaking, Huang Fengqiang turned to Madame Huang and berated her, "Aren't you going to leave yet!"
Madame Huang, dazed by the slap, was dragged away by the bodyguards.
"Wait a moment," Qin Beiting's thin lips parted, and he said coldly, "She hasn't apologized yet."
The bodyguards understood and forced Madame Huang to kneel on the ground, "Apologize!"
Madame Huang had been overbearing her entire life and had never suffered such humiliation, especially in front of so many powerful and influential people. Her face was practically scraped on the floor!
This was simply nailing them to the pillar of shame for the wealthy, to be cursed by all.
But even her husband demanded an apology, so Madame Huang had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry..."
Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"What did you say?" Ye Zizheng pretended to pick at his ear and asked loudly.
Madame Huang was so angry that she regretted not slapping the brat unconscious earlier. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I—am—sorry!"
Ye Zizheng, with the air of a little adult, slowly nodded and asked, "What was wrong?"
Madame Huang's molars were grinding loudly with anger, "Guanshan indeed cheated and didn't pick it up. You didn't slander us!"
Finally proving his innocence, Ye Zizheng looked smug, wishing he could beat a gong and drum for everyone to see... Oh, everyone was already watching, so he put on his little adult demeanor again.
Ye Zizheng: "To correct mistakes is a virtue. Go back and copy Zuo Zhuan, Duke Xuan's Second Year, ten times each. Remember to take photos and post them so everyone can see."
Madame Huang was so angry she was spitting fire. Did he think he was a teacher!
Despite her anger, they could do nothing. They apologized and were "escorted" out by the bodyguards.
The host quickly came to liven up the atmosphere. Many guests slowly dispersed. The remaining few who were unwilling to leave looked expectantly at Yu He, wanting to approach but hesitant because of the bodyguards.
"Sister, how was my performance of 'relying on connections' just now?" Ye Zizheng, after getting the upper hand, still sought praise from Yu He.
Ye Qichen: Calling you a dog relying on connections, and you're actually taking yourself for a dog!
Yu He reached out and ruffled his hair, "Not bad."
Ye Zizheng usually disliked others ruffling his hair and would get into an argument with anyone who did. But at this moment, he didn't dodge and asked, "Does it feel good?"
The little brother's hair was quite soft, better than petting Tiramisu.
Yu He: "It's okay."
Ye Zizheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Be my master, and I'll let you rub it every day!"
Yu He: "..."
"Miss Crow, your family matters have been handled. Isn't it time for us to talk about our business?"
At this moment, a blonde Caucasian walked over. She was Laura, and
His grammar and intonation were the same as Yu He's, but his voice was as rich and deep as a cello, incredibly captivating.
"We have an Interpol arrest warrant," Laura produced evidence.
Qin Beiting glanced at it indifferently. "Are you sure the arrest warrant you hold is still valid?"
"Of course!" Laura said confidently.
"Then what is this notice I received?" Yu He showed him a photo on her phone.
The photo was of the newly issued notice to withdraw the arrest warrant for Crow, stating that the case was not established!
This photo was precisely the gift that Xing Que, the殿主, had said he was sending her on her way here!
This was also why she was certain that Xing Que knew her identity at the time. If he directly sent her the cancellation notice, how could he not know her identity?
But when exactly did Qin Beiting discover she was Crow?
Yu He turned her gaze, looking at Qin Beiting meaningfully.
Sensing her gaze, Qin Beiting appeared unfazed, but his heart was pounding wildly.
She found out!
It seemed like durian and washboards wouldn't be enough tonight; he'd need a keyboard and a remote control too...
"How can this be!" Laura exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing the cancellation order. She immediately asked her assistant to verify it.
The assistant made a phone call and returned, whispering a few words in her ear. Laura's face changed immediately but quickly returned to normal.
She put away the arrest warrant and, without a change in expression, said, "We still need to request Miss Crow to transfer to a different location so we can have a proper discussion about satellite USA-224."
Her orders from above were: no matter what, Crow must be brought back to the United States!
