Return of the Celestial King

But Qin Tuo stood up as well, taking Luo Xianggui’s hand and persuading her,

”Second Aunt, please listen to Manni and let us go. Trust us, we’ll definitely find a way!”

Seeing Qin Tuo’s determined gaze, Luo Xianggui’s expression gradually calmed down.

She nodded, let out a sigh, and said,

”Okay, Qin Tuo. I’ll be counting on you two, then!”

After she finished speaking, she slumped powerlessly into her chair. This matter had clearly dealt her a heavy blow.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyu hurried over to support her mother, patting her on the back and comforting her gently.

It was clear that both mother and daughter were feeling extremely down.

”Manni, let’s go!”

Qin Tuo said seriously.

He knew that Chen Man Ni definitely intended to teach this Manager Liang a good lesson and rid the Chen Group of this scoundrel.

So, the two of them left their private room and went to the door of Private Room Number One.

After they knocked, a cold voice came from inside.

”Come in!”

One after the other, Qin Tuo and Chen Man Ni pushed the door open and entered.

The moment they saw it was Qin Tuo, the people in the room turned their heads, a little puzzled.

Only Chen Biao’s face instantly fell!

At the head of the table sat a middle-aged man in glasses and a suit, who was clearly Manager Liang.

Everyone at the table was sucking up to him, trying to get on his good side.

Chen Biao was holding a glass of wine, preparing to make a toast. When he saw Qin Tuo enter, he immediately snorted irritably.

”Qin Tuo, what are you doing here? A high-class dinner like this, what right does someone of your status have to join in!”

Hearing Chen Biao say this, everyone at the table, including Manager Liang, shot them a look of disdain.

They clearly all understood that Qin Tuo was just a nobody.

Manager Liang couldn’t help but complain,

”Chen Biao, why are you bringing your poor relatives over here? You’re completely ruining my mood!”

Chen Biao was startled and quickly nodded, forcing a smile.

But just then, Chen Biao saw that Chen Man Ni had also arrived. His expression changed in an instant, and he became incredibly excited!

He had been wondering how to curry favor with Manager Liang, and now an idea suddenly struck him.

And so, Chen Biao quickly waved at Chen Man Ni and shouted,

”Come, come! Girl, come keep our Manager Liang company with some drinks. If you please Manager Liang, you’ll be well rewarded!”

At once, everyone at the table erupted in laughter, and they all started to jeer and egg him on.

As Chen Biao spoke, he also grinned at Manager Liang.

”Manager Liang, this chick is a real looker. You absolutely can’t miss out!”

Manager Liang listened, a lewd grin spreading across his face. Beneath his glasses, his beady eyes gleamed.

Chen Man Ni, however, wore a half-smile as she obediently followed Chen Biao’s words and walked toward Manager Liang.

Seeing Chen Man Ni being so obedient, Chen Biao grinned from ear to ear.

Moreover, he saw that Qin Tuo was just standing there expressionlessly, not making any move to stop her.

He naturally assumed that Qin Tuo was scared and was now submitting to him.

Chen Biao quickly made way, saying,

”Manager Liang, just let this chick keep you company tonight. Have her drink with you until you’re happy!”

By now, Chen Man Ni had arrived in front of them. She played along, picking up the bottle and filling a glass.

Chen Biao was ecstatic to see Chen Man Ni being so proactive!

He knew that Manager Liang would definitely be very satisfied with him now. In the future, he might even get a promotion, and he could make another huge fortune.

Chen Man Ni filled the glass and offered it to Manager Liang.

This Manager Liang had had a bit to drink, and his mind was a little fuzzy.

Seeing Chen Man Ni hand over the drink, he couldn’t help but lean in, shamelessly sizing her up.

The other guests at the table all started clapping, letting out raucous, suggestive laughter!

Just then, Manager Liang finally got a clear look at Chen Man Ni’s face.

He froze for a moment, then his eyes gradually widened!

After taking another careful look, Manager Liang was suddenly struck with a chilling fear. The alcohol wore off instantly, and a cold sweat quickly broke out on his back.

”Th-th-this... Chairman Chen, why is it you?”

Manager Liang’s voice had become a stutter.

A cold sneer appeared on Chen Man Ni’s face. ”Manager Liang,” she said, ”I’m offering you a toast. Why aren’t you drinking?”

Manager Liang’s face turned deathly pale. He quickly pushed his chair back and, without another word, dropped to his knees before Chen Man Ni.

This sudden turn of events left everyone in the room completely stunned!

Chen Biao, who was standing right there, couldn’t believe his eyes. He rubbed them hard, wondering if he was hallucinating.

’The all-powerful Manager Liang is kneeling to Qin Tuo’s girlfriend? What’s going on?’

Manager Liang kowtowed repeatedly, shouting,

”Chairman Chen, spare me! I didn’t mean to! This is all a misunderstanding!”

Seeing Manager Liang groveling and begging Chen Man Ni for mercy, everyone turned pale with fright. One by one, they stood up and backed away.

They looked at each other, their minds completely reeling in confusion!

Chen Kai was also dumbfounded, not knowing what to do with his hands.

Chen Man Ni’s expression was icy, as if covered in a layer of frost.

She slowly raised the wine glass in her hand, looking at the trembling Manager Liang begging before her...

Suddenly, Chen Man Ni forcefully splashed the contents of the glass all over Manager Liang’s head.

But Manager Liang could only take it, not daring to say a single word in protest. He just kept begging for mercy.

A dead silence fell over the room. No one dared to speak!

Everyone’s mind was racing. ’Who is this woman? Why is she so terrifying?’

Chen Man Ni said slowly,

”As of today, you are no longer an employee of the Chen Group... You’re fired!”

As her words fell, Manager Liang’s eyes nearly rolled back in his head as he almost fainted on the spot.

He had spent years clawing his way up in the group, giving all sorts of gifts and pulling strings, just to finally climb to his current position. He had gained a little power and had lined his pockets handsomely.

If Chen Man Ni fired him now, it would be the same as knocking him all the way back to square one.

And so, Manager Liang kowtowed frantically, splitting the skin on his forehead until it bled.

”Chairman Chen, I’m begging you, please don’t fire me!”

At this moment, everyone heard clearly how Manager Liang addressed Chen Man Ni, and they instantly pieced together her identity...

This time, everyone was so scared they felt their bodies go numb!

Many of them, while Chen Man Ni wasn’t looking, quietly slipped out of Private Room Number One.

Some of them were also from the Chen Group. They were all terrified of being caught up in Chen Man Ni’s purge and only wanted to get as far away from the doomed Manager Liang as possible.
