Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

The moment the words left his mouth, his partner on the other end of the phone immediately replied.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's Mr. Zhang Yifan! Eh?"

The partner's voice abruptly stopped.

The call was immediately dropped.

Inside the private room, an absolute silence instantly descended.

You could hear a pin drop.

Basil froze completely in place.

My brain completely shut down, going completely blank.

The arrogance, confidence, and condescension of the previous second vanished completely.

In just a few seconds, an extreme chill shot from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

He finally realized what was happening.

His proudest entrepreneurial asset.

He used it to crush Zhang Yifan and show off his youthful achievements.

It has completely become the other party's property.

His entire night was spent strategizing, showing off, mocking, and crushing.

They were all acting recklessly in front of the major shareholders.

The most outrageous thing is that he caused all of this himself.

To pick up girls, to manipulate a girl.

He relinquished power himself, thus losing all his confidence.

Embarrassment, shame, fear, humiliation, despair...

Countless emotions overwhelmed my entire body in an instant.

My face stung, it was even more humiliating than being slapped in public.

All sense of superiority, all confidence in capital, all the persona of a big shot.

It shattered into dust in an instant, never to be pieced back together.

They couldn't maintain even the slightest pretense anymore.

Su Man, who was standing to the side, listened to the entire conversation.

At this moment, her mental state experienced its second extreme collapse.

He was completely stunned and stood there, his whole body stiff.

She finally understood the absurdity of tonight.

In order to cling to the coattails of basil.

She betrayed her roommates, sold out her classmates, and took desperate risks.

They risked their reputation and future, and were willing to do all sorts of bad things.

She thought she had bet on the right big shot and chosen the right path to turn things around.

They thought that by following the top rich kids and upstart entrepreneurs, they could pave the way for their own lives.

In the end, the truth came crashing down on her face.

She desperately tried to curry favor with and follow Basil to the death.

As a result, he became Zhang Yifan's underling!

From beginning to end, she was just working for the boss.

He offended everyone, gambled his entire future, and in the end, all he got was a huge joke.

Utterly absurd, utterly ridiculous, utterly desperate.

No one spoke inside the private room.

All eyes were focused on the disheveled and stiff-bodied basil.

Zhang Yifan looked at him quietly, his expression calm and indifferent.

There was no mockery, no smugness, and no kicking someone when they're down.

There was only a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

He slowly opened his mouth, launching into the ultimate, deadly interrogation.

The tone was not harsh, but every word was piercing.

"Now."

"Are you going to poach my people and steal my things?"

The words had barely left his lips.

All eyes were on the basil.

Everyone thought that Basil must have completely lost his composure at this moment.

The company I founded has changed hands in the blink of an eye.

The entire night of ostentatious celebration turned into a complete one-man joke.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have lost face and panicked to the point of losing their composure.

But basil did not.

In just two seconds, the panic that had brought him to the brink of losing control vanished completely.

The cold sweat on my back hadn't dried yet, but the fear in my heart had completely vanished.

He straightened his body, his expression calm, only a look of indifference remained.

Others couldn't understand his state of mind; they only felt that it was abnormal and strange.

Only Basil himself knew that he had no reason to panic.

Suyuan Technology is gone, that's all.

This was just a startup project he casually started while he was studying.

To put it bluntly, it's just a tool for building up your resume and killing time.

Losing a startup won't affect its foundation.

He's basil!

He is a top-tier rich second-generation in Beijing. His father is Rossi, and he has had top-tier connections and industry resources since childhood.

A small company worth tens of millions can't hurt him in the slightest.

His emotions at this moment were not panic, but only extreme humiliation.

Feeling frustrated, annoyed, and resentful.

This was his biggest blunder tonight.

He was easily brought down by an unknown freshman.

All night long, I was under the other person's control, performing my own act and deliberately changing my mind.

Being humiliated by an unknown person is more frustrating than losing money or making things difficult.

Basil looked up and stared intently at Zhang Yifan.

He put aside all his impetuousness and began to seriously analyze his opponent.

They are of similar age and are both students at Tsinghua University.

Yet he can casually take out tens of millions of dollars to fully own a technology company.

You know, even his father wouldn't give him so much money to start a business.

This person's identity is definitely not simple.

Basil's arrogance vanished, replaced by a serious tone of inquiry.

"Who exactly are you?"

There was no mockery, no rage, just a strong person scrutinizing an unknown opponent.

Faced with his persistent questioning, Zhang Yifan remained calm and composed.

"Before, I was just an ordinary person."

"But now, I am the sole owner of Suyuan Technology."

Basil frowned, his frustration growing stronger.

He couldn't stand this kind of drop in status.

Yesterday's nobody can today be someone who uses his name to show off.

"Just because you hold a controlling stake, you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?"

Basil's voice was tinged with resentment.

In his view, paper control is only a temporary advantage.

In terms of background, connections, and long-term resources, he still holds a clear advantage over his opponent.

Zhang Yifan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Yes, because I'm the controlling shareholder!"

From this moment forward, everyone in Suyuan, including you.

They all have to work for me.

After he finished speaking, the private room fell silent once again.

Basil was speechless for a moment.

The facts are undeniable; denial is futile, and rebuttal is futile.

Su Man, standing to the side, was completely devastated.

She listened to every word of the conversation, and every sentence pierced her heart.

Utter despair overwhelmed me instantly.

At that moment, she had only one thought: to escape.

Escape this suffocating private room, escape everyone's gaze.

Once we leave this place, we'll have a chance to catch our breath.

But she dared not move.

They could only stand frozen in place, enduring the invisible mental crushing.

The focus of the entire event remained on the two people facing off.

After a few seconds of silence, Basil suddenly laughed.

He conceded defeat, but his inherent pride remained undiminished.

"OK!"

"I lost this round, I admit defeat."

We admit defeat, but we will never bow our heads.

Then, he pulled out his last bit of confidence.

"But don't get too cocky."

"I built Suyuan from scratch. Your temporary controlling stake means you can't maintain your position."

"If you know what's good for you, withdraw your shares and give the company back to me."

"Otherwise, my dad won't let you off the hook."

A common problem among scions of wealthy families is that if they can't win head-on, they rely on their parents to bail them out.

This is the confidence that is ingrained in his bones.

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a slight tightening in their hearts.

Rossi certainly carries significant weight in Beijing's business circles.

Everyone fell into thought, believing that Zhang Yifan would most likely be wary and restrain himself.

Zhang Yifan's reaction was completely unexpected.

Instead of panicking, he laughed even more relaxed.

His eyes were full of mockery, accurately seeing through Basil's disguise.

"You turn to your dad every time you can't solve a problem? Are you a baby who hasn't been weaned?"

A single, seemingly innocuous sentence can be incredibly damaging.

It directly shattered Basil's proud sense of superiority as a rich second-generation.

Basil's face instantly turned red, her blood rushed to her head, and her anger surged to the top of her head.

No one had ever dared to humiliate him like this in public before.

He immediately wanted to turn hostile and confront them.

But when he glanced around the room, he saw that the other side had a large number of people and he only had a terrified Su Man by his side.

Taking action now would be utterly pointless and would only lead to an even more humiliating defeat.

His overwhelming anger could only be forced back down.

Basil gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, and snorted coldly.

"You just wait!"

He uttered a hollow, harsh remark and turned to leave.

Don't stay here for long.

Get out of there first; there will be plenty of time and resources to settle accounts later.

Frozen in place, Su Man suddenly saw her only hope of escape.

She dared not stay behind alone, much less face Zhang Yifan and his group alone.

In her eyes, even if Basil lost the company, he was still a top-tier rich second-generation heir, and his wealth and influence remained.

If you follow Basil, you'll most likely escape unscathed.

She grasped at the last straw and quickly followed Basil's steps.

I kept my head down the whole time, not daring to look up, just wanting to escape this suffocating space as quickly as possible.

The two walked quickly toward the door of the private room, one after the other.

Just as I stepped out the door, the farce of the night was about to come to an end.

A cold voice suddenly rang out, freezing the two of them in their tracks.

"stop!"

Did I tell you to leave?

His voice was not loud, and there was no roar, but it carried an absolute sense of control that brooked no disobedience.

Basil's steps suddenly froze.

He paused, his anger surging again.

He slowly turned around, his face frighteningly gloomy, his tone full of impatience and anger.

"What else do you want?"

Winning the game and taking over the company, isn't that enough?

Do you expect me to apologize to you?

Don't even think about it! Apologies are not in my dictionary!

He can accept the loss of capital and the inferiority of skills.

I can accept losing the company and losing face.

But an apology was his last line of defense, and he wouldn't budge an inch.

Zhang Yifan looked at his furious yet forced-to-hold-back expression and smiled faintly.

"Apologize?"

"I never expected someone like you to be able to recognize right from wrong or take the initiative to admit your mistakes."

After he finished speaking, he glanced down at his phone screen.

The screen lights up, and the time is clearly visible.

He said it casually.

"It's almost time, we should be there soon."

A single sentence landed lightly, without any explanation.

But this instantly made the atmosphere in the room strange and unpredictable.

Basil frowned, a strange unease rising in his heart.

He couldn't understand Zhang Yifan's actions, nor could he guess his opponent's next move.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to question him.

dong dong dong-

A crisp knock on the door abruptly shattered the deathly silence of the private room.

The next second, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Two law enforcement officers in formal attire stepped into the private room.

He had an upright posture and a solemn aura.

It instantly shattered all the banter and tension in the room.

The moment I saw this scene.

Basil's pupils dilated violently, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

The panic that had just been suppressed instantly swept over her entire body.

All confidence, arrogance, and backup plans were wiped out.

He finally realized what was happening.

From beginning to end, Zhang Yifan had no intention of engaging in any capital maneuvering or power struggles with him.

The opponent was using the most unsolvable, fairest, and most unwinnable rule-crushing strategy.

Basil stared intently at Zhang Yifan, her body trembling slightly.

Disbelief, anger, and shock all welled up inside me.

He gritted his teeth and almost roared.

"Zhang Yifan, you damn well better report this!"
