This woman is named Lan Min.
She is an employee of the Jinchao Group's Secretary Department and one of the primary candidates to become the General Manager's secretary after Li Zhaoyu's original secretary went on maternity leave.
To become the General Manager's secretary, Lan Min never misses an opportunity to showcase herself within the company.
It happened to be a coincidence today.
Just as Lan Min was about to go out on an errand, she saw a young man at the lobby entrance shouting Li Zhaoyu's name at the security guards.
She immediately seized this opportunity, lectured Li Qianfan, and told him to get lost.
"How dare you speak like that?"
Before Li Qianfan could react, Dai Paipai became indignant. "Even if it's impolite for us to call Mr. Li by his name, telling us to get lost is even more impolite!"
Was it impolite for Li Qianfan to call Li Zhaoyu by his name?
He thought it was perfectly normal.
Not only was Li Qianfan the village chief of Li Zhaoyu's village, but according to their ancestral lineage, Li Zhaoyu should even call him "Little Uncle."
"This woman doesn't seem to be having mood swings due to her period," Li Qianfan thought, looking at Lan Min. "Her brows are twitching, her peripheral vision is darting around, and her voice is sharp and high-pitched. It's clear she's trying to attract more attention. Could it be that this woman has feelings for Li Zhaoyu and is deliberately protecting his dignity in a public place?"
Correct answer!
Lan Min's voice attracted the attention of several security guards in the lobby, as well as employees entering and leaving.
Everyone instinctively looked over.
After successfully attracting the attention of others, Lan Min said to Dai Paipai with a cold sneer, "You say I told you to get lost, and that's impolite?"
Dai Paipai retorted, "If this isn't, then what is?"
Lan Min didn't reply but suddenly stepped forward and raised her hand, aiming to slap Dai Paipai across the face. "Now, I'll show you what true impoliteness is."
*Slap!*
The crisp sound of a slap echoed from the lobby entrance.
Dai Paipai cried out in surprise and instinctively closed her eyes.
But her face didn't hurt.
Hmm?
Oh, it turned out Lan Min's slap didn't land on her face.
The sound of the slap was Li Qianfan, who, just as Lan Min's hand was about to reach Dai Paipai's face, had swiftly moved and slapped her instead.
Lan Min was sent spinning three and a half times on the spot and staggered backward.
Her meticulously pinned-up hair cascaded down, blood trickled from her lips, and her eyes were glazed.
Li Qianfan never hits women—
But when he absolutely must hit a woman, he never hesitates!
Lan Min's lecture and demand for him to leave, in an attempt to please Li Zhaoyu, might not have been wrong.
However, she shouldn't have resorted to violence when Dai Paipai was arguing her case.
After slapping Lan Min away, Li Qianfan shook his right hand and said, "Can't we just talk things out properly? resorting to violence is so uncivilized."
Holy crap.
Who is this young man? He actually dared to slap Secretary Lan in public at the entrance of the headquarters lobby!
More than a dozen employees inside and outside the lobby, who witnessed everything, were stunned into silence.
Dai Paipai was also a bit bewildered.
Li Qianfan had only said he was coming here for business, but he didn't tell her who he was looking for or his relationship with Li Zhaoyu.
However, Dai Paipai knew that Jinchao Group was a renowned private enterprise in Tiandong.
Given the social status of its General Manager, if he were to go to Qingyun, the main officials of Qingyun would have to host him with great hospitality.
Yet, here Li Qianfan was, hitting someone directly at the entrance of the Jinchao Group headquarters.
"Can your status as the village chief of Lijia Village still hold sway here?" Dai Paipai thought subconsciously as she looked at Li Qianfan.
At this moment, Lan Min regained consciousness.
Holding her face with her left hand, she hoarsely questioned Li Qianfan, looking as if she had seen a ghost, "You, you dare to hit me?"
Isn't that obvious?
Li Qianfan ignored her and said to the stunned security guard Wang Biao, "Now, call Li Zhaoyu immediately and tell him to come down and see me."
"Huh?"
As Wang Biao instinctively blurted out, Lan Min shouted, "Wang Biao! Are you deaf? Hurry up and apprehend this scoundrel who dared to hit me?"
Wang Biao and the others finally snapped back to reality, let out a collective roar, and charged at Li Qianfan, "Kid, you dare to cause trouble at the Jinchao Group headquarters?"
"Stop."
Seeing several people charging at Li Qianfan, Dai Paipai completely forgot that he was a violent person. Purely on instinct, she spread her arms and stood in front of him. "Please, everyone, calm down. Let's talk things through!"
The security guards at the Jinchao Group headquarters were indeed quite professional.
Seeing Dai Paipai spread her arms in front of Li Qianfan, they immediately halted their actions. "Step aside!"
Dai Paipai refused to move. In her desperation, she shouted, "Do you know who he is?"
"Who is he?" Wang Biao asked instinctively.
Dai Paipai quickly replied, "He is the village chief of Lijia Village, and he's very formidable!"
What?
He's the village chief of Lijia Village?
And formidable?
This is laughable.
When did a mere village chief dare to cause trouble at Jinchao Group and claim to be formidable?
This woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looks like a middle-aged housewife, doesn't seem unintelligent. How could she say something so ridiculous?
"Get out of the way!" Wang Biao reached out to grab Dai Paipai's arm. "If you don't move, you won't escape either!"
*Crack.*
Li Qianfan raised his hand and flicked Wang Biao's hand away.
As Wang Biao flinched in pain, Li Qianfan pulled Dai Paipai behind him and then raised his right fist, hitting the tempered glass door next to him with a *bang*.
*Crash—*
The thick tempered glass immediately shattered with a loud *crash*, scattering all over the floor.
Holy crap, he's that strong!?
Wang Biao and the other security guards shivered instinctively and retreated.
They figured their bones were probably not as hard as tempered glass.
If Li Qianfan's punch had landed on them, they would have certainly broken their bones on the spot.
*Bang!*
*Crash—*
Without another word, Li Qianfan threw another punch, shattering another tempered glass door.
His gaze was cold, and his expression was blank.
He punched a third time.
There were a total of 12 tempered glass doors at the entrance of the Jinchao Group headquarters.
Six of them were fixed and could not be opened.
Li Qianfan didn't care whether these glass doors were fixed or not. He consecutively punched, smashing four of them.
He wasn't smashing doors with his fists because he had nothing better to do or because he was crazy.
He simply didn't want to get into a direct physical confrontation with the security guards.
By smashing the tempered glass doors with his fists, he was making them realize profoundly: "Come on, if you dare, get rough with me!"
Wang Biao and the others were completely intimidated.
Lan Min, who had been shouting for people to apprehend Li Qianfan, no longer dared to speak.
Even Dai Paipai's heart was trembling with fear.
After smashing four glass doors in a row, Li Qianfan shook his right hand and looked at Wang Biao, asking in a calm voice, "Can we talk properly now?"
Of course!
Wang Biao nodded hurriedly and said tremblingly, "Sir, you not only hit Secretary Lan, but you have also caused considerable economic loss to our company's property. We security guards are also workers earning 3500 yuan a month, so we definitely cannot let you go."
"Even if you let me go, I won't leave," Li Qianfan said. "Call Li Zhaoyu immediately and tell him to come down and see me."
With things escalating to this point, even if Wang Biao didn't want to report it, he had no choice.
These four glass doors were not cheap and were considered part of Jinchao Group's image.
Now that Li Qianfan had smashed them with his fists, it was equivalent to slapping the entire Jinchao Group in the face!
Neither Wang Biao nor Lan Min had the authority to handle this matter; it had to be reported to the General Manager immediately.
"Please wait a moment, I'll call Mr. Li right away."
As Wang Biao turned to run into the lobby, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, what's your name?"
"My name is Li Qianfan," Li Qianfan said, taking out a cigarette. "Li as in the character for 'tree,' Qianfan as in the competition for 'thousand sails'."
"Okay, okay!" Wang Biao said repeatedly and dashed towards the front desk.
At this time, at least thirty people had gathered to watch.
They looked at Li Qianfan, who was calmly smoking as if nothing had happened, then at the broken glass scattered everywhere, and finally at Lan Min, whose left cheek was swollen from being slapped.
They whispered amongst themselves, "This young man actually hit Secretary Lan. This is going to be big trouble."
Someone nodded. "Yes, yes, Secretary Lan is from the Lan family of Tiandong. Besides Mr. Li, even Vice General Manager Wang and the others have to greet Secretary Lan proactively. If this isn't handled properly, this young man might end up in jail."
This woman is from the Lan family of Tiandong?
Li Qianfan, who was looking down to light his cigarette, heard the onlookers' discussion and looked up at Lan Min. He thought, "I didn't slap the wrong person. I should have put more force into that slap earlier."
Lan Min raised her phone and began to make a call.
As she spoke in hushed tones, her gaze fixed on Li Qianfan was full of malice.
*Ring, ring, ring.*
The phone in Jinchao Group's General Manager's office rang. Li Zhaoyu was in the middle of listening to a work report from two senior executives.
"Hello, this is Li Zhaoyu," Li Zhaoyu said, casually picking up the receiver and putting it to his ear.
"Mr. Li, it's company security guard Wang Biao." Wang Biao's voice, tinged with obvious flattery, came through the receiver. "Someone downstairs has smashed four tempered glass doors. And, he also hit Secretary Lan Min."
"What?" Li Zhaoyu was surprised. "Who is it, with such great audacity, to dare cause trouble at Jinchao Group?"
"It's a young fellow around twenty years old. He said his name is Li Qianfan." Wang Biao reported truthfully. "Li as in the character for 'tree,' Qianfan as in the competition for 'thousand sails.' Oh, right. He also said he's the village chief of some Lijia Village and specifically asked for you to come down and see him."
