Zhang Yao laughed charmingly. "Yes, our President Xue is just a freshman this year. He’s my junior."
Su Guoqiang’s eyes widened. "A... a freshman?!"
The fact that he was an enrolled university student was shocking enough, but to learn he was only a freshman was another level of astonishnt.
What was I doing my freshman year? Surfing the internet, playing gas, lying around the dorm like a corpse, skipping class...
In short, he had done everything except study seriously and work hard to earn money. This factory was only started with his father’s help.
Then look at this guy’s freshman year—he’s already the executive director of a major company.
Suddenly, Su Guoqiang began to sweat even more profusely.
Could Xue Yang have so connection with the Si Family?
"Yes. What’s wrong with being a freshman? A person’s capability has nothing to do with their age."
Su Guoqiang felt as if he’d been slapped across the face. It stung, but he couldn’t complain.
Zhang Yao asked with a smile, "Is there a problem?"
"No... no problem."
How could Su Guoqiang dare have a problem?
Zhang Yao asked again, "So, President Su, were you really bullying our President Xue just now?"
Su Guoqiang stumbled back several steps in fright. "No... no... I would never dare to bully President Xue."
Sun Yufei interjected, "Senior Sister Zhang, don’t listen to his nonsense. He did bully President Xue. He was just yelling at Xue Yang, threatened him, and even called security to snatch his phone so we couldn’t call the police."
Hearing this, the two security guards quickly backed away, putting distance between themselves and Xue Yang and Sun Yufei.
Su Guoqiang was drenched in sweat.
"President Xue, I am so sorry. We were in the wrong. If I had known it was you, I would never have dared to act that way. Please forgive us. We’ll produce this batch of goods for you for free. And from now on, any order from Yanbei University will be a rush job, and I’ll give you a fifty-percent discount."
The terms couldn’t have been better. If he offered any more, he would truly go bankrupt. Even Sun Yufei thought the offer was quite good.
However, Xue Yang simply pointed at Su Jianqiang and said, "Boss Su, I want him to apologize to her."
Sun Yufei looked at Xue Yang in surprise, realizing he was only trying to get justice for her.
Hearing this, Su Jianqiang shook his head vigorously. "Bro, I’m not apologizing to her! She beat up like this! They’re the ones in the wrong. We don’t need to be afraid of them. Just let them call the police."
Su Guoqiang spun around and slapped him. "I told you to shut up, didn’t you hear ?"
Su Jianqiang clutched his stinging cheek, rendered speechless.
"Hurry up and apologize to this classmate. Be polite. Be sincere. Otherwise, you can get out of the Su Family."
Su Jianqiang was terrified. "Bro, don’t kick out! I’ll apologize, I’ll apologize right now!"
Su Jianqiang feared nothing in this world except his brother’s anger. Ever since they were children, whenever Su Guoqiang got angry, Su Jianqiang wouldn’t dare breathe a word. So, hearing his brother’s threat, he panicked.
He quickly went over to Sun Yufei and gave a slight bow. "Classmate Sun, I’m sorry."
Su Guoqiang slapped him on the back. "Do you want to be kicked out of the Su Family? Give her a ninety-degree bow."
"Yes, yes, bro, just don’t hit ."
Su Jianqiang imdiately perford a perfect ninety-degree bow, his attitude the epito of sincerity. "Classmate Sun, I’m sorry. I was blind. I failed to recognize your importance... I accidentally molested you. I deserve to die. Please, forgive ."
As he spoke, he started slapping his own face. SLAP. SLAP. SLAP.
He acted as if he wouldn’t stop unless she forgave him, putting on such a show that even Sun Yufei found it hard to watch. The more arrogant he had been just monts ago, the more subservient he was now.
Her objective had been achieved, and the anger in Sun Yufei’s heart dissipated.
"Don’t ever let see you again. If I do, I’ll hit you every single ti."
"Yes, yes, yes... Thank you, heroine! I promise I’ll never appear before you again, and I won’t harass anyone else either. I’ll turn over a new leaf, I’ll be a new man, I..."
Afraid that Su Guoqiang would kick him out, Su Jianqiang threw all his toughness and pride to the wind. Only when he saw that Sun Yufei had forgiven him did he finally relax.
"Bro, she forgave . Does that an I don’t have to be kicked out?"
Su Guoqiang waved a hand in disgust. "Get out of here. You’re an eyesore."
"Right, right, I’m going, I’m going."
Su Jianqiang imdiately limped away from the place of conflict, terrified his brother might change his mind if he delayed another second.
Seeing him leave, Su Guoqiang forced a smile and approached Xue Yang and Zhang Yao, humbling himself. "President Xue, Manager Zhang, about our cooperation..."
Xue Yang raised an eyebrow. "What cooperation?"
Su Guoqiang hadn’t stopped sweating since Zhang Yao arrived. "The... the one I was just discussing with Manager Zhang. The 500,000-yuan contract..."
Xue Yang stated flatly, "I’ve just conducted an inspection and found that your company does not et our requirents. So, let’s discuss the cooperation so other ti."
Su Guoqiang’s face went white, and he looked like he was about to cry. "Ah, President Xue, this..."
"We’ll be leaving now. No need to see us out, Boss Su."
The deal that was practically in his hands had just flown away. Su Guoqiang felt like dying. But with the Si Family backing them, he didn’t dare say another word.
President Xue isn’t going to co after , is he? It’s a good thing Su Jianqiang ran off so quickly; otherwise, I really would have beaten him again.
Su Guoqiang wanted to say more but ultimately stopped himself. "President Xue, Manager Zhang, please take care..."
He knew what to say and what not to say. The contract was gone, but completely offending them would be a true disaster.

Leaving Qiangsheng Printing Factory, Sun Yufei breathed a sigh of relief. "President, thank you." Then she turned to Zhang Yao. "Senior Sister Zhang, thank you too. If you hadn’t co, I probably would have gotten myself into huge trouble today."
Beating up Su Jianqiang had felt good in the mont, but the aftermath would have been a massive problem. Although there were security caras, it was their territory. They could have destroyed the footage at any ti if they didn’t want the police to see it.
Who could she even turn to for help then?
"Don’t worry about it. You’re my junior, so it’s only right that I help you. I’ve run into guys like Su Jianqiang before. And I did the sa thing you did—gave them a good beating."
That sounded exactly like sothing Zhang Yao would do.
Sun Yufei asked, "And what happened then?"
Zhang Yao gave a helpless smile. "Then? Of course, I had to be the one to apologize to them."
Sun Yufei was stunned. "But you were the victim, weren’t you? Why did you have to apologize?"
"What victim? It’s just a matter of the weak versus the strong. As long as you’re strong, you’re in the right. By the sa token, if you’re weak, you can only suffer the loss. Later, I learned that you often can’t lash out in the mont. No matter how hard it is, you just have to bear it."
Sun Yufei asked in confusion, "So, we’re just supposed to take it when we’re wronged?"
