It was true that his bones and tendons were not injured, but he had lost a few teeth. The lower row had loosened. Other than that, he also suffered a slight concussion. The others, as well, had various injuries, but Xu Youwei suffered the most serious injuries.
The day after Xu Youwei woke up, he marched off to Huanyu to demand an explanation.
Tsk.
Qin Zhou leaned back lazily in his chair and propped his legs straight up on his desk. The cigarette between his fingers was half-consumed. He raised his eyes coldly and gave a scornful laugh. “Young Master Xu, I’m afraid it won’t sound good if word gets out about this.”
Hearing this, Xu Youwei’s expression turned ugly. “What do you mean?”
Qin Zhou said unhurriedly, “You and your bunch of friends were intending to gang rape one of my artistes’ assistants. Isn’t that too embarrassing? Young Master Xu, are you so short of women that you’re desperate enough to make a move on my employee? If word gets out, people who don’t know any better will think that Young Master Xu is short of women.”
Xu Youwei turned red and then paled. When he caught Qin Zhou’s disdainful gaze, his expression darkened again. He said angrily, “She’s just an assistant! Why? Can’t I afford to make a move on her?! Huanyu is so big and has so many artistes under its roof. I just want an assistant. In this circle, I’ve never seen anyone so unethical. Don’t you know who I am?! Why can’t I make a move on her? Who does she think she is? She should take a good look at herself in the mirror! She’s just an artiste’s assistant. Her status is lowly. She’s not worthy of my attention!”
“Yes, she’s just an assistant. She’s not worthy of you, Young Master Xu. But the truth is, not only did Young Master Xu like her, his table manners are also extraordinarily uncouth.” After a pause, Qin Zhou added meaningfully, “Besides, who said that the woman you made a move on was just an assistant in Huanyu? I remember someone reminding me that even a sweeper in Huanyu’s headquarters might be related to the higher-ups. So what’s wrong with an assistant? Does Young Master Xu despise assistants?”
“How should we put it then? Could this woman be your pet, Mr. Qin?”
Qin Zhou smiled coolly. “You may think of it that way for now! Anyway, from now on, you’re not to have any designs on this woman!”
However, Xu Youwei did not acknowledge this, and insisted, “Then what about what happened yesterday?! Mr. Qin, you have to give me an explanation, right?! It doesn’t matter if she’s your woman or not. In short, that woman beat me and my brothers up so badly. Mr. Qin, don’t you plan to give me an explanation?”
“What I’m more curious about is…” Qin Zhou muttered with a puzzled expression, “Why were there so many of you, Young Master Xu? Why were the bunch of you so helpless against a girl?”
“…”
“When I stepped in, people were lying on the floor everywhere. They were all young men, but couldn’t even handle a girl. Have they had too many parties in their lives and grown deficient in the kidneys!”
Boom!
Admittedly, Qin Zhou was too devious. This seemed to be an unintentional remark, but it undoubtedly ignited a barrel of explosives.
One can call a man a bastard or a heartless person and get away with it, but to describe him to be deficient in the kidneys is unacceptable! Being deficient in the kidneys simply implied that he is impotent!
This was about a man’s dignity!
As expected, Xu Youwei exploded! “Deficient in the kidneys?! Qin Zhou, what do you mean?! Are you deliberately trying to anger me?! Or, has Wu Shan been giving face to Huanyu all this while, and Huanyu has grown too haughty!”
