"You bastard!" Su Muqiu said coldly: "I'm hanging up."
"Don't!"
Su Wenchao gloated: "Cousin, guess where I am now and what I'm doing?"
"I'm not interested in knowing!"
Just as Su Muqiu was about to hang up, Su Wenchao's voice came through again: "What a killjoy. But whatever, I'll tell you anyway. I just called Mr. Wang, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao. They have all agreed to let me take over from you and continue with the next phase of cooperation."
"I'm on my way to the Zhao Group now. In ten minutes, I'll be face to face with Mr. Zhao to sign the contract. Then it's Mr. Wang and Mr. Li. I have to thank you, cousin, for doing so much groundwork!"
"You planted the trees, I enjoyed the shade. It's a beautiful story in the business world, hahaha..."
Su Muqiu's face turned ashen gray.
Her phone nearly slipped from her hand.
Despicable!
After Xiao Zhan's disturbance at the engagement ceremony, Su Muqiu had guessed that Su Wenchao would not let it go easily. She was mentally prepared, but never imagined Su Wenchao would move so quickly.
"This is Grandpa's intention, I can't be blamed. You have to blame your brother-in-law for being so impulsive and daring to attack Grandpa in front of his face. That's like slapping Grandpa in the face!"
Su Wenchao laughed: "With no more clients and kicked out of the company, your family of four...oh wait, it's five now, will probably have to go begging."
With that, he hung up.
Su Muqiu stood there, stiff as a board, tears that had finally stopped welling up in her eyes again. She felt extremely wronged.
Two years of hard work, gone up in smoke!
Liu Hongxiu and Su Jiancheng looked at each other, faces increasingly ugly. Just as they were about to comfort Su Muqiu, Xiao Zhan suddenly appeared at the bedroom door. In a low voice he said, "I was the one who hit him. I'll resolve this."
Everyone was startled.
You resolve it?
Resolve your ass! Other than fighting, what else can you do? You feel better after a fight, but Grandpa's anger is not something you can withstand!
Liu Hongxiu glared angrily at Xiao Zhan, angry but dared not speak.
"No."
Su Muqiu shook her head, red-eyed, "If you go, it will only escalate things. It's just a job, it's gone, I can find another one. I don't believe that without the Su family, there is no place for our family in this city."
Before Xiao Zhan could respond, Su Muqiu turned and went to the kitchen.
Her resilience made Xiao Zhan's heart ache.
Five years ago, she was innocently implicated in the Xiao family's plot against Xiao Zhan. She gave birth to his daughter but endured the cold eyes of outsiders. Now that Xiao Zhan had returned victorious, how could he let her suffer the slightest grievance?
Not one bit!
So Xiao Zhan took out his phone and sent a text message...
At the entrance of Zhao Group.
A black BMW pulled up slowly. Su Wenchao got out of the car, contract in hand, beaming, full of swagger. His excitement was written all over his face.
To so easily snatch Su Muqiu's clients, even Su Wenchao himself was a little surprised.
"Those old foxes must have heard that Su Muqiu married a rapist, realized her position in the Su Group was unstable, so they abandoned the dark and rushed to the light, kicking her when she's down..."
Su Wenchao thought to himself.
The business world was like a battlefield. Knowing the time and situation, avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune, that was the way to survive.
"I'm here to see Mr. Zhao."
Su Wenchao went to the front desk, lifted his chin arrogantly, and slapped the contract down, "Mr. Zhao made an appointment to meet me for tea and sign the contract at noon."
The receptionist was startled, "May I ask...sir, your surname?"
"I'm Su!"
Su Wenchao smiled, "General manager of Su Group, Su Wenchao."
"Su Wenchao?"
The receptionist had a strange look on her face and secretly signaled to the security guard across from her. Very quickly, four security guards surrounded Su Wenchao, grabbed him by both arms and hauled him up.
"What are you doing?"
Su Wenchao was shocked and angry, struggling as he yelled, "I'll say it again, I'm the general manager of the Su Group! Your Mr. Zhao invited me himself! Let go of me, bastards!"
Bang!
Just as the curses left his mouth, a kick landed squarely on his butt. The pain made Su Wenchao bare his teeth.
"You motherfu..."
In that instant, Su Wenchao exploded with rage, hopping mad. He turned his head back angrily, ready to curse up a storm, but when he saw the figure standing behind him, his expression changed dramatically, not daring to utter a word.
In disbelief, "Mr...Mr. Zhao?"
The one who kicked Su Wenchao's ass was none other than the boss of Zhao Group, Zhao Yongrong.
Zhao Yongrong's face was very ugly.
"Mr. Zhao, what is the meaning of this?"
Su Wenchao was like a monk struck by lightning, completely confused, having no idea what he had done wrong to offend Zhao Yongrong. Damn, this was not how he imagined things would go.
Earlier on the phone, Zhao Yongrong had been polite. How did his attitude make such a drastic turn?
"It's you, you son of a bitch!"
Zhao Yongrong didn't explain but rushed up and kicked Su Wenchao again, knocking him to the ground like a dog. He sneered, "Dare to set me up, I'll skin you alive!"
"Mr. Zhao, don't, don't hit me..."
Su Wenchao was nearly weeping, crying injustice, "Is there some misunderstanding here? I don't even have the guts to set you up. I came in good faith to sign the contract with you."
"Sign your ass!"
Zhao Yongrong pinned Su Wenchao to the ground and rained blows on him. Only after half a minute did he stop. Coldly he said, "Our contract with Su Group is only signed with Su Muqiu alone. Without her, don't even think about it, not even if Su Bingtian himself comes forward!"
"Su Muqiu? This, this, this..."
Su Wenchao was utterly dumbfounded. "Why is that?"
"Throw him out!"
With that, Zhao Yongrong waved the security guards over. The four men came forward, dragged Su Wenchao to the company entrance and threw him out like trash.

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
