Qin Chuan glanced at his watch; it was only six o'clock, still early.
"Everyone find a nearby hotel to check into first, then go eat. I'll be there shortly," Qin Chuan said.
Everyone nodded, and just like at noon, only Zheng Chengdao remained by his side.
"Boss, it's already past closing time. How long do we have to wait?" Zheng Chengdao couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Qin Chuan took out his cigarette case and offered one to the other man. Zheng Chengdao skillfully lit it for him.
Qin Chuan took a long drag, smoking half the cigarette in one go before exhaling deeply.
"We have to wait until at least ten o'clock tonight!"
"For a corporation this large, overtime is almost the norm, especially for the leaders."
"We have nothing else to do back at the hotel anyway, so we might as well sit here and feast our eyes on the office ladies in uniform."
Zheng Chengdao agreed wholeheartedly, "The girls here are indeed high quality, fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs, which makes one's imagination run wild."
Qin Chuan chuckled, patting Zheng Chengdao's shoulder. "After we're done with business, I'll take you to experience the local women."
"Thank you, boss!" Zheng Chengdao was thrilled.
The two sat on the steps, chatting idly. Unbeknownst to them, this scene was being observed.
In a luxuriously decorated office on the seventh floor of Samsung Electronics, a graceful figure about five feet ten inches tall, wearing a white suit, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee.
She appeared to be in her early twenties, very young, with a delicate and radiant face, skin like congealed fat, and a superb figure, as if she were the most exquisitely crafted porcelain, with no flaws to be found.
However, she exuded an aura that commanded respect and kept others at a distance, making them feel intimidated. Such a woman was clearly from an affluent family, and her upbringing had instilled in her an inherent sense of nobility.
She was the renowned Samsung Princess, Lee Yeon-hee, who now served as the Minister of the Foreign Trade Department of Samsung Electronics, wielding considerable power.
Lee Yeon-hee, holding her coffee, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, where she could see the two figures chatting on the steps below.
In fact, as early as lunchtime, Lee Yeon-hee had already received reports from her subordinates. After all, during lunch, Qin Chuan and his entourage had been very conspicuous, attracting the attention of many Samsung Electronics employees who then reported to Lee Yeon-hee.
Lee Yeon-hee had instructed an investigation into what had happened. Soon, someone reported on Kim Seok-min's every move.
Upon learning of the situation, Lee Yeon-hee said nothing. Her secretary naturally treated the matter as if it were to be ignored because although Kim Seok-min was merely a team leader, he had connections; his brother-in-law was the Director of the Planning Department.
At ten o'clock that night, outside Samsung Electronics, Qin Chuan checked the time, then looked up at the Samsung Electronics building. It was still brightly lit, and security guards were on duty at the entrance around the clock.
"Let's go back, we'll come again tomorrow," Qin Chuan said.
Zheng Chengdao followed him away. The night passed uneventfully. The next day, at eight in the morning.
When Samsung Electronics employees arrived for work, they once again saw the same group of people standing at the entrance as yesterday, all present.
There was no way around it; with Qin Chuan, the boss, present, even those who didn't want to come had to. Even Alisa, who had found the peculiar stares and humiliation somewhat unbearable yesterday, had come.
Qin Chuan and his group once again became the subject of discussion for all of Samsung Electronics.
During this time, some middle and high-level executives from Samsung Electronics attempted to approach and inquire about what had happened, but they were quickly pulled aside and whispered to about the reason.
Upon learning that they had been rejected by Kim Seok-min, these leaders could only express regret and helplessness.
It didn't matter that Kim Seok-min was just a team leader; his brother-in-law was the Director of the Planning Department. Who would offend a director for a group of strangers unless they had lost their minds?
"Oh, you've come again today!"
A BMW suddenly stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, revealing Kim Seok-min's arrogant face.
Qin Chuan chose to ignore him, while Zheng Chengdao clenched his fists, and everyone else was filled with anger.
From the gossip and discussions among some Samsung Electronics employees yesterday, the translator beside them had learned about Kim Seok-min's background, that he had a brother-in-law who was a director. It was no wonder a mere team leader dared to be so arrogant and domineering.
"Hmph, let's see how many days you can last!"
"I've given the entire security department strict orders not to let you Chinese people in. Let's see what you do!"
Seeing that he was being ignored, Kim Seok-min was secretly enraged. He sneered and drove into the underground parking lot.
Shortly after Kim Seok-min's BMW left, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz sped over and stopped smoothly at the entrance of the building.
Through the car window, a young, beautiful woman with meticulously combed hair, wearing a custom-made black suit, and exuding a powerful aura could be vaguely seen.
The moment Qin Chuan saw the woman's appearance, his eyes lit up.
"Boss, quickly, she's Samsung Group's princess, Lee Yeon-hee." Someone beside him exclaimed.
After waiting for so long, they had finally seen Lee Yeon-hee in person.
At this moment, Lee Yeon-hee, inside the Mercedes, had already stepped out with her long legs.
"Minister Lee!" Qin Chuan, who had also recognized Lee Yeon-hee long ago, immediately rushed forward and shouted, but he was quickly intercepted by several black-suited bodyguards, preventing him from approaching.
Lee Yeon-hee's gaze was indifferent. She glanced briefly at Qin Chuan's side and then chose to ignore them, walking into the building and quickly disappearing from sight.
The luxurious Mercedes also drove into the underground garage.
Watching helplessly as Lee Yeon-hee, whom they had finally waited for, left without saying a word, everyone felt miserable.
These people at Samsung Electronics were too arrogant, their eyes practically looking up at the sky.
"Boss, this is too infuriating, I can't stand it!"
"It's not like only Samsung Group makes displays in this world. If this Kimchi country doesn't welcome us, we can go to other countries. Why endure this kind of humiliation!"
"Exactly, I don't believe that we can't spend our money just because of this!"
"Pah, if one place doesn't want me, there are plenty of others that will!"
Everyone was furious. Clearly, they had all been angered this time. Many of them had never been so ignored in their lives and felt their self-esteem greatly insulted.
Only Qin Chuan remained calm. After letting everyone vent their anger, he slowly said, "Do you remember what I told you yesterday?"
"I'm going to teach everyone a lesson today, and this lesson is called the resilience of a businessman!"
"What level is Samsung Group? It's a true behemoth, a major chaebol, a world-renowned enterprise!"
"They have the capital to be arrogant. If I had such strength or status, I would be even more arrogant than them. I wouldn't even bother to acknowledge someone if they knelt for three days and three nights."
"In terms of displays, as far as I know, there is truly no company in the world that can match Samsung's craftsmanship at present."
"For our future, and more importantly, to earn plenty of money in the future, what does a little bit of suffering now matter!"
"If anyone can't take it anymore, I'll allow them to leave immediately!"
Hearing Qin Chuan's lecture, the previously disgruntled crowd gradually lowered their heads, while Alisa's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.
