After becoming invincible after descending the mountain, the aloof and beautiful CEO couldn't s

Jinling Chamber of Commerce, third floor tea room.

Three people were sitting around a rosewood tea table, with steam rising from the purple clay teapot in front of them, but their faces were all looking rather grim.

"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!" Jin Baosan slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup jump.

"I, Jin Baosan, have been in Nanjing for so many years, and I've always been the one bullying others. When have I ever been treated like this? That Su Hao, a mere greenhorn, took down all twenty-odd of my men and stole eleven million! If word gets out, where will I, Jin Baosan, put my face?"

Wei Zuo sat opposite him, his face equally gloomy.

He picked up his teacup and gulped down a mouthful, only to be scalded and wince. He put the cup down and said angrily, "You're lucky! That kid took those kinds of photos of me, forcing me to give orders to the Li Group at cost price, with profits as thin as paper! What's worse, I ran into him at the hospital last night, and he actually dared to threaten me!"

"Seeing how badly that kid messed with you guys, I suddenly don't feel so bad about being beaten up yesterday." Shi Zhenxiang raised an eyebrow, picked up her teacup, and slowly took a sip.

He, Wei Zuo, and Jin Baosan were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Last night, the three of us washed our feet together and complained about our troubles. It turned out that we had all been dealt with by the same person!

"Since that Su Hao is Li Qiuchan's man, then the Li Group shouldn't expect to have an easy time either. I've already had someone notify them to cancel the contract renewal."

Wei Zuo and Jin Baosan exchanged a glance, a hint of pleasure flashing in their eyes.

"President Shi always has a way!" Wei Zuo quickly poured Shi Zhenxiang a cup of tea.

"Without President Shi's orders, the Li Group will lose at least tens of millions in the second half of the year. That'll be a real headache for that woman, Li Qiuchan!"

"That's not enough." Shi Zhenxiang picked up her teacup, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"I heard that the Li Group is going to participate in the Chamber of Commerce's investment and financing project negotiation meeting next week? I have already spoken with Vice President Zhuang and asked them to cancel their participation."

Jin Baosan's eyes lit up: "Vice President Zhuang? Zhuang Bifan? President Shi has connections with him too?"

"We've had drinks together a few times, so we're old friends," Shi Zhenxiang said casually, but with a hint of pride in her tone.

Jin Baosan gave a thumbs up: "President Shi is truly resourceful! Li Qiuchan is probably going to have nowhere to cry now!"

Wei Zuo chimed in, a long-absent smile finally appearing on his face: "She's probably still in the dark! Let's see if she'll still be smiling when she finds out her contract renewal is off and she's no longer eligible to attend!"

"She will definitely come to me to plead for her life." Shi Zhenxiang leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and spoke with a calm and composed tone that conveyed a sense of control over the entire situation.

"When the time comes, I'll let her know that in the Nanjing business world, not just anyone can be offended."

Jin Baosan chuckled and added, "I bet Li Qiuchan is completely flustered right now."

"Serves you right!" Wei Zuo sneered.

"But speaking of which, the Black Dragon Society's efficiency is too low. I heard that Su Hao has a grudge against the Black Dragon Society. Zhang Tianhu clearly promised to deal with him, so why hasn't he done anything yet? Last night, that kid was showing off in front of me without any problems."

Jin Baosan frowned as well: "I'm wondering the same thing. Logically speaking, since Zhao Kai has stepped in, the Black Dragon Society shouldn't refuse to give him face. The Zhao Group has considerable influence in Jinling. No matter how arrogant Zhang Tianhu is, he wouldn't dare to offend the Zhao family, would he?"

"Who knows? Anyway, that kid's all good now." Wei Zuo waved his hand irritably.

"We'd be better off relying on ourselves than on the Black Dragon Society."

Just then, the door to the tea room was pushed open.

A middle-aged man with a beer belly, wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit, walked in with a greasy smile on his face. He was Zhuang Bifan, the vice president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce.

"What are you three CEOs talking about?"

The three of them quickly got up to greet them.

Shi Zhenxiang personally poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Vice President Zhuang is here. Please have a seat. We were just talking about how to teach that arrogant Li Qiuchan a lesson."

Zhuang Bifan picked up his teacup, took a sip, put it down, and said with a smile, "Speaking of Li Qiuchan, she's downstairs now."

The three exchanged a glance, a hint of amusement flashing in their eyes.

"However," Zhuang Bifan said slowly.

"I told my secretary to tell her I was in a meeting and to wait. I'll leave her waiting for half a day to deflate her arrogance. Once she gets impatient, I'll step in, and the three of you can come together to give her a good surprise."

Shi Zhenxiang and the other two looked at each other and laughed, their laughter filled with pride and joy.

"Vice President Zhuang is truly brilliant!" Jin Baosan gave a thumbs up, then leaned closer and lowered his voice.

"By the way, Vice President Zhuang, I've booked a private room at Heaven on Earth tonight. There are a few young and beautiful girls there, all new to the industry, very fresh and lovely. I would be honored if you would join me for a couple of drinks."

Zhuang Bifan's eyes narrowed into slits, and his smile became greasy. He patted Jin Baosan on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Jin, you're too kind! I'll gladly accept your offer!"

Another knowing laugh rang out in the tea room.

At this moment, Li Qiuchan, who had been waiting for half an hour, couldn't help but ask the receptionist, "Approximately how long will it take?"

"Well... I'm not entirely sure either. Vice President Zhuang's meeting is very important, and it may take some time."

Li Qiuchan frowned, but still patiently sat down on the sofa in the reception area.

However, another half hour passed while they waited.

The air conditioning in the reception area was set very low, and there was only a glass of cold water on the coffee table.

Li Qiuchan glanced at her watch, then at the closed office door at the end of the corridor, and already understood most of it.

This wasn't a meeting at all; the other party was deliberately keeping her waiting.

Su Hao leaned back in the sofa chair, closed his eyes to rest, and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

He had long anticipated that this trip would not go smoothly.

Since the other party was able to disqualify the Li Group from participating in the meeting, they were unlikely to give them an easy chance to explain.

Another half hour passed, and Li Qiuchan could no longer sit still.

She stood up, preparing to call Zhuang Bifan, when a male voice with a Hong Kong accent suddenly came from the other end of the corridor.

"Mr. Li, waiting any longer will be pointless; why waste our time?"

Li Qiuchan turned her head and saw Shi Zhenxiang walking over with a half-smile.

His gaze swept over Li Qiuchan, then landed on Su Hao beside her, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Li Qiuchan suppressed her displeasure and tried to keep her tone calm: "President Shi, what do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing, just a reminder to Mr. Li."

Seeing Shi Zhenxiang's amused expression, Li Qiuchan frowned slightly: "President Shi, if I may ask, what has the Li Group done to offend you? Our contract renewal negotiations yesterday went very smoothly, so why did you change your mind overnight?"

"Why?" Shi Zhenxiang chuckled, looking at Su Hao with a meaningful gaze.

"Mr. Li, you might want to ask the person next to you about this."

Li Qiuchan turned to Su Hao: "You know President Shi?"

"I don't know them, but we've had a falling out."

Su Hao told the truth: "Yesterday at the art exhibition of the unnamed master, this Mr. Shi spoke rudely and insulted me, so I taught him a lesson."

Seeing that Li Qiuchan remained silent, Shi Zhenxiang assumed that she was weighing the pros and cons. A smug smile appeared on her lips as she took a step forward and said in a condescending tone, "President Li, I don't want to make things difficult for you either."

"This matter is actually easy to resolve. As long as you make this kid kneel down, slap himself three times in front of me, and apologize to me, we can continue to discuss the contract renewal."

His tone was nonchalant, as if it were just a trivial request.

But Li Qiuchan's answer froze his smile on his face.

"President Shi, I believe Su Hao wouldn't hit someone for no reason."

"Since he resorted to violence, it must be because you said something that he found extremely offensive. I will not make him apologize for this."
