「Chairman's Office.」
Qin Qiu stood before the floor-to-ceiling window with a worried look, her gaze unfocused as she stared outside.
Zhang Xiaowen walked over carrying a cup of tea and said softly, "Chairman, have so water."
Qin Qiu shook her head, remaining silent.
"It's all Chen Yang's fault! That guy always acts impulsively and never uses his brain! Now he's dragged the whole company down with him!" Zhang Xiaowen couldn't help but grumble.
Exhausted, Qin Qiu massaged her temples. "It's not his fault," she said wearily. "Even if that incident hadn't happened at the banquet, Extre Sea Pharmaceutical would have cut off the Qin Corporation's supply of raw materials all the sa."
Although personal grievances with Ning Qiang were inevitably a factor, the primary reason was the dical prescription. After their attempt to steal it failed, today's scene had unfolded. The ultimate goal was simply to force her to hand over the prescription. Once their current inventory of raw materials was completely depleted, people from Extre Sea Pharmaceutical would surely co knocking.
Zhang Xiaowen curled her lip. "Chairman, everyone in the company is blaming Chen Yang now. They're calling him a jinx. They say it's one thing for him to bring you disaster, but now he's brought it upon the whole company!"
"I will explain this matter," Qin Qiu said, waving her hand, not wanting to talk any further.
"Xiaoqiu!"
Xiang Yang rushed in, panting. "I used my connections to contact the person in charge at Extre Sea Pharmaceutical right away. But as soon as they heard it was a plea on behalf of the Qin Corporation, they kicked my people out!"
"But no worries! I've already called my dad. He's on fairly good terms with Tao Gong, the chairman of Extre Sea Pharmaceutical. Getting him to resu the supply of raw materials shouldn't be a problem!"
Zhang Xiaowen's eyes lit up. "Really?" she said, overjoyed. "Young Master Xiang is truly well-connected and resourceful! Saving the entire Qin Corporation from disaster!"
"Thank you." A glimr of hope rose in Qin Qiu's heart. It was faint, but it was still hope, wasn't it? Besides, she had no other recourse.
"No need for formalities with , Xiaoqiu! Just wait for the good news!" Xiang Yang said, a faint smile touching his lips as he gazed at Qin Qiu's delicate silhouette.

「Parking Lot.」
Looking at Zhou Yufei, who had followed him the entire way, Chen Yang said speechlessly, "Why are you following ? Aren't you just adding to the chaos?"
"I personally disagree with you going, but since you insisted, then as your superior, of course I have to accompany you!" Zhou Yufei declared, her head held high with a stubborn look, radiating an air of determination that not even the Heavenly King could stop.
With no other choice, Chen Yang could only nod. "Get in the car."
VROOM!
He stomped on the gas, and the Ferrari roared away.
In the car, Zhou Yufei looked around. "Chen Yang," she asked with curiosity, "can you tell what it feels like to drive your wife's luxury car?"
"Why don't you tell first what it feels like for a woman to be riding in a man's car that's owned by his wife?"
"You..." Zhou Yufei was at a loss for words. She crossed her arms and said defensively, "I wouldn't bother thinking about such a boring thing! Besides, I'm your boss, so what's wrong with riding in your car?"
Chen Yang glanced at her. What a vixen, he cursed inwardly before speaking seriously. "Look, Fairy, can you change that habit of yours?"
"Huh?!" Zhou Yufei was puzzled. "What's wrong? Why should I change? Why should I care what other people think?" She paused, then her tone softened. "Speaking of which, don't take what those people in the departnt say to heart. They're just worried about their jobs. After all, life is pretty stressful these days."
"I haven't taken it to heart," Chen Yang said with a wave of his hand.
「anwhile.」
「Extre Sea Building.」
The headquarters of Extre Sea Pharmaceutical was located here.
Within the lavish lobby, Ning Qiang walked out alongside a composed and capable-looking middle-aged man in a black suit.
The middle-aged man said, "This matter is a trifling issue for Extre Sea Pharmaceutical. Why won't your chairman yield an inch?"
"Director Xiang, this involves a personal grudge. Both our chairman and I want the Qin Corporation to disappear. So, please, you may leave," Ning Qiang spoke forcefully, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.
"Can you elaborate?"
Ning Qiang shook his head.
"Very well! Then I won't say anything more." The middle-aged man nodded and strode away.
Ning Qiang glanced at his gauze-wrapped right hand, a flash of extre malice in his eyes. He muttered, "Chen Yang! Just you wait. I'll have you sliced into a thousand pieces!"
Even though Lord Hu was the one who had cut off those two fingers, he placed all the bla on Chen Yang's head. If Chen Yang hadn't humiliated and belittled him, the incident with Lord Hu would never have happened.
"You might have so strength, but I'm no pushover either!" Ning Qiang sneered to himself. "I may not be able to beat you in a fair fight, but when it cos to playing dirty, I can peel your skin off layer by layer!"
ROAR!
Just as he was about to turn and re-enter the building, a Ferrari sped toward him.
Huh? Ning Qiang frowned. That car looks so familiar!
When he saw the person getting out, his eyes widened. "Chen... Chen Yang?!"
"Manager Ning, were you waiting here for ?" Chen Yang had also spotted Ning Qiang. He waved and called out while walking briskly forward.
If Ning Qiang hadn't imdiately spun around and bolted into the building, it might have actually looked like a reunion between old acquaintances.
"Why are you running?" Chen Yang chased after him.
Upon entering the building, Ning Qiang yelled, "Security! Where's the security? Hurry! Get all the security guards over here!"
He had seen Chen Yang's skills firsthand, which was precisely why he preferred to sche from the shadows rather than confront him openly.
Instantly, security guards rushed over from all directions.
Ning Qiang breathed a small sigh of relief and was about to head for the elevators when he felt a sudden gust of wind at his back.
SLAP!
A large hand landed on his shoulder, and Chen Yang's voice followed right behind it. "Manager Ning, why are you running? I'm not a constable."
THUMP THUMP THUMP!
A dozen security guards ard with rubber batons sward forward, surrounding them with hostile stares.
They say there is courage in numbers. Ning Qiang turned around, pointed a finger at Chen Yang, and said coldly, "You've got so nerve, daring to co to my Extre Sea Pharmaceutical's..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yang's fist hamred down.
BANG!
Ning Qiang crumpled to his knees, blood flowing from his nose and mouth.
The surrounding people: "..."
Zhou Yufei: "..."
"..."
