Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

He got beaten up!

Zhang Jiaxuan had to keep smiling, and everyone fell silent.

Su Yaoyao was also covered in sweat.

Is Zhao Chongming's background really that strong?

Zhao Chongming shrugged and turned to leave.

This banquet has actually lost its meaning.

"Su Yaoyao, I never expected you to be this kind of person."

Right after this number died, a voice suddenly rang out.

Zhao Chongming paused slightly.

Lin Wei stood in front of Su Yaoyao, her beige cashmere sweater making her face appear even paler, but her eyes were unusually firm: "From today onwards, we are breaking off all ties."

Su Yaoyao's eyes widened: "What did you say? Just for him?"

"No."

Lin Wei shook her head. "It's for my own sake."

She took a deep breath, then suddenly turned to Zhao Chongming, her voice soft but clear enough to carry throughout the room: "Chongming, I've always liked you. For a long time."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Zhao Chongming slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Lin Wei's face.

Lin Wei took a deep breath and looked intently at Zhao Chongming: "I like you, really, for a very, very long time!"

Zhao Chongming looked Lin Wei up and down.

There was tension, anticipation, and a hint of...calculation in her eyes?

He was all too familiar with that look—not adoration, but a gamble.

Betting on him is the real win.

Girls these days, really!

"Come with me." He only said three words.

Lin Wei didn't hesitate and quickly followed.

Su Yaoyao felt her whole body trembling. She had a premonition that her best friend was going to steal Zhao Chongming, this promising young man, away from her.

Su Yaoyao trembled all over, her nails digging into her palms: "Young Master Zhang... what exactly is going on? Isn't his father just a section chief?"

"Section Chief?" Zhang Jiaxuan whirled around and slapped her hard across the face. "What do you know?!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the empty hall.

Su Yaoyao staggered backward, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with fear.

"If it weren't for you, you bitch, stirring things up, would I have bothered with him?!" Zhang Jiaxuan's voice was hoarse. "Do you know what his father holds in his hands? 300 acres of land in the second phase of Jinghai Bay, 5 million yuan in central government subsidies, and the qualification for a new energy demonstration project—all of it is tied to his signature!"

Su Yaoyao slumped to the ground, her makeup ruined by tears: "I...I don't know..."

"Don't you know?" Zhang Jiaxuan sneered. "Now your whole family is going to be killed!"

……

……

An Audi A6L was parked quietly on the B2 level of the underground parking garage at the China World Trade Center.

Zhao Chongming opened the car door and gestured for her to get into the passenger seat.

"When did you start liking me?" Zhao Chongming asked with a smile as he started the car.

Lin Wei gently gritted her teeth: "That's right, that's right, it was a long time ago. If it weren't for Su Yaoyao, I, I..."

"Actually, I like you a lot too!" Zhao Chongming smiled. "If it weren't for Su Yaoyao, I might have pursued you!"

As he spoke, Zhao Chongming gave Lin Wei an aggressive look: "You're very beautiful, with great skin, long legs, and big breasts. I really didn't expect you to like me!"

Lin Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

"Really!" Zhao Chongming smiled slightly. "Then, would you be willing to give yourself to me?"

"This..." Lin Wei was stunned. She never expected that Zhao Chongming would make this request so directly.

"It seems you don't like me, and you've been deceiving me all along, haven't you?" Zhao Chongming looked at Lin Wei and said, "Fine, get out of the car!"

"No! No! No!"

Lin Wei took a deep breath: "No, that's not it. I... I really like you, I really, really like you!"

"Then..." Zhao Chongming looked at Lin Wei with a half-smile, "Shall we go get a hotel room?"

Lin Wei gently bit her lower lip: "Okay!"

……

……

Ten minutes later, Zhang Wei finally arrived at the scene, albeit belatedly.

The elevator doors opened, and Zhang Wei rushed in, his suit wrinkled, his tie askew, and his forehead covered in sweat.

He glanced at the handprint on his son's face and then at Su Yaoyao lying on the ground, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Who hit me?" His voice trembled.

"Zhao... Zhao Chongming." Zhang Jiaxuan lowered his head. "He said... he wants our family to disappear from the capital."

Zhang Wei's vision went black for a moment, and he managed to avoid falling by grabbing the wall.

He suddenly pointed at Su Yaoyao, his eyes bloodshot: "Was it you? Did you instigate my son to provoke Young Master Zhao?!"

Su Yaoyao shrank back in fear, stammering, "I...I just..."

"You bitch!"

Zhang Wei raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face, knocking her to the ground. "Do you know who you've messed with?!"

He leaned down, gritting his teeth, his voice so low only the two of them could hear: "If Director Zhao doesn't give in, I'll sell you to a mine in Hebei and have a bunch of people kill you! I'll make sure you never see the sun again!"

Su Yaoyao trembled violently and screamed, "No! Uncle Zhang! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

Zhang Wei dialed Zhao Dehan's number with trembling hands.

"Director Zhao... Director Zhao, this is Zhang Wei." His voice was humble as dust. "I've investigated everything. It was all my son and that Su Yaoyao's ignorance that offended Young Master Zhao..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhao Dehan merely gave a faint "humph," and then—

Beep...beep...beep...

The call was disconnected.

Zhang Wei stood there, holding his phone, drenched in sweat.

He knew that this "humph" was more terrifying than any angry curse.

Zhao Dehan neither mentioned forgiveness nor punishment.

But this silence means that he will have to pay a higher price for the approval of Jinghai Bay.

This price—

He has to get it out...

To Zhao Dehan, what is Zhang Wei? There are plenty of people who would fawn over him. What right does he have to act tough in front of him? He offended my son. It's already quite kind of him not to kill him on the spot.

at the same time.

Hyatt Hotel

Lin Wei was looking at Zhao Chongming with a nervous expression.

Lin Wei was truly shocked only after Zhao Chongming took off his clothes.

He looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique underneath – that perfectly describes Zhao Chongming.

simply……

Lin Wei was shocked and couldn't help but swallow hard, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chongming sat down next to Lin Wei. "Do you want to take a shower?"

Lin Wei felt her heart pounding, but she remained calm: "Um, Chongming, could you... could you lend me some money..."

Zhao Chongming laughed: "Borrowing money? No problem. How much do you want to borrow?"

"Twenty, no, five, five hundred thousand!" Lin Wei gritted her teeth slightly. "I... I don't want much!"

"Alright then!" Zhao Chongming held up one finger, smiling as he said, "I'll give you a million, but whether you get it or not depends on your performance tonight. What do you say?"

"I, I..." Lin Wei gently gritted her teeth: "Okay!"
