Return of the Celestial King

The Chairman’s Office.

Zeng Fuchai, slightly overweight, sat in his chair, anxiously checking his watch.

Long Wu had already told him that Qin Tuo would be arriving at Qingmei Company around ten in the morning to discuss a contract. He had stressed that Zeng Fuchai must give him a proper reception and not neglect him in any way.

’I wonder if Mr. Qin has arrived yet?’

Zeng Fuchai thought to himself.

In fact, he had witnessed Qin Tuo’s god-like prowess at Ouyang Tianqi’s banquet.

He understood full well that among all of Huaiyi Hall, this young man reigned supreme!

Even Hong Qing, the leader of the Cyan Fire Gang, could only swallow his anger and not dare to retaliate after being defeated by him in public.

Moreover, Qin Tuo was the future son-in-law of the Chen Family and an honored guest of major figures like Ouyang Tianqi.

How could someone like him, Zeng Fuchai, ever afford to offend such a person?

’I hope I can handle everything for Mr. Qin properly today and satisfy him. Maybe then I can latch onto his network of connections. When that happens, why would I still be afraid of the Zhao Family!’

Zeng Fuchai snorted inwardly.

Although he was the company’s chairman, the Zhao Family held a massive stake, which made his position incredibly stifling.

He had to consider the Zhao Family’s mood for many major decisions!

Zeng Fuchai had had enough. Today was a golden opportunity. If he could just make good use of Qin Tuo’s connections, he might be able to break free from the Zhao Family’s control and finally hold his head high.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zeng Fuchai called his secretary over.

”Go see if the people from Mani Company have arrived to sign the contract.”

The secretary couldn’t help but feel surprised.

’When did the chairman become so concerned about a single contract?’ he thought.

He shook his head and said seriously,

”Chairman, no one from the reception department has come over.”

Zeng Fuchai nodded and gave another instruction.

”Alright, go wait by the main entrance. If you see people from Mani Company arrive, receive them with the highest honors. You must not neglect them in any way, understand?”

The secretary was stunned.

’My God, what kind of heavyweight must this be for the chairman to place so much importance on them!’

But he didn’t dare slack off in the slightest, nodding emphatically.

”Don’t worry, Chairman. I understand!”

The secretary understood the gravity of the situation and hurried downstairs to the company’s main entrance.

There, he happened to find several security guards confronting Qin Tuo.

”Qin Tuo, you little bastard, you’re dead today! You actually dared to hit someone! I’m going to make sure you die without a proper burial!”

Zhao Peng cursed viciously from the side, his face flushed with rage.

The guards had already suffered at Qin Tuo’s hands and knew this young man was not to be trifled with.

Their faces were full of vigilance. Not even daring to get close, they could only brace themselves and maintain a defensive posture from a distance.

Qin Tuo stood with his hands behind his back, a sneer on his face, which infuriated the group before him.

Yet they were also terrified and didn’t dare to make a move against him.

Seeing this scene, the secretary frowned and walked over to intervene.

The security guards quickly retreated upon seeing the secretary arrive.

The secretary asked,

”What’s going on here? How dare someone cause a scene at our company’s entrance?”

Liu Qiang stepped forward with a fawning smile and answered,

”This kid tried to force his way in, and the guards stopped him.”

The secretary nodded and said casually,

”Have them all disperse. A big shot is about to arrive. Get rid of this person, and do it quickly, understand?”

’If that important person arrives and sees this chaotic scene, it will surely leave a bad impression,’ the secretary thought. ’The chairman might even blame me for handling things poorly.’

Hearing the secretary’s urgent tone, Liu Qiang couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

’Oh? What kind of big shot is this? Important enough for Chairman Zeng’s personal secretary to receive them himself?’

Beside them, Zhao Peng also frowned slightly, making his own speculations.

Liu Qiang was unwilling to let it go and was just about to ask how to deal with Qin Tuo afterward.

He had already made up his mind; he couldn’t just let Qin Tuo be driven away. He had to be held severely accountable!

But the secretary spoke first,

”Manager Liu, has the distinguished guest from Mani Company arrived?”

Liu Qiang didn’t react for a moment.

”Ah, distinguished guest? Are you talking about the person their company sent to discuss the contract?”

The secretary nodded impatiently.

”Of course. Who else would it be?”

Liu Qiang’s heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously pointed toward Qin Tuo in the distance.

”Isn’t that him...?”

The secretary’s face paled in shock, his heart pounding wildly.

Only then did he realize that the young man he had just ordered to be driven away was the very same distinguished guest the chairman had told him about!

At this thought, cold sweat poured down his back.

Just then, a group of security guards moved to throw Qin Tuo out.

The secretary suddenly let out a furious roar!

”You bastards, get the hell away from him! How dare you disrespect Mr. Qin! Believe it or not, I’ll have you all fired!”

The guards were all startled. They had rarely seen the normally gentle and refined chairman’s secretary get so angry.

They quickly backed away to the side, not daring to utter another word.

Zhao Peng, Xu Min, and Liu Qiang were all dumbfounded, completely baffled by what was happening.

The secretary was then seen jogging quickly over to Qin Tuo. He cupped his hands, bowed deeply, and saluted.

”I’m so sorry, Mr. Qin! We have truly offended you today. Please, don’t hold it against us!”

Qin Tuo said casually,

”It’s fine. I’m a forgiving person.”

The secretary gave an embarrassed smile, then said respectfully,

”Mr. Qin, Chairman Zeng is waiting in his office to sign the contract with you personally. Please, come with me!”

Qin Tuo nodded.

Then, under the stunned gazes of the others, Qin Tuo and the secretary re-entered the company building.

After watching the two of them disappear into the distance, Liu Qiang’s face turned deathly pale.

”What’s going on? Why is Chairman Zeng handling this contract negotiation personally? It’s just a contract, is it really that important?”

A storm was raging in his heart, and he couldn’t calm down.

And when he thought about how Qin Tuo must be some incredible big shot, he realized he had completely and utterly offended him today.

With that, his heart filled with dread!

Zhao Peng’s expression was also grim as he couldn’t help but ask,

”Liu Qiang, what the hell is going on?”

Liu Qiang gave a bitter smile.

”Young Master Zhao, I don’t understand either. It’s strange. Although the contract is significant, it’s not so big that it would require the chairman to handle it personally... Could it be that this Qin Tuo is some kind of major figure?”

But Zhao Peng just snorted disdainfully,

”How could an ex-convict have that much power? I’m going up to see if that Zeng Fuchai has the guts to defy my Zhao Family and sign a contract with this kid!”

With that, he had Xu Min push him toward the chairman’s office.

Seeing this, Liu Qiang hurriedly followed.
