chapter 18 change

"President, last time Qiao Group supplied us goods worth a total value of twenty million." "However, because the quality of the goods was not up to the mark, we rejected their payment request." "April Qiao, the president of Qiao Group, approached me, hoping I could do her a favour..." Before Gene Zhao could ask what was going on, Otto Yu quickly began to explain in detail. "And, April Qiao tried to seduce me. But who am I? I'm a loyal subordinate under you, President, with a heart that always shines like the sun!" "I naturally refused her on the spot, but unexpectedly, she was furious and played tricks, bringing her husband to beat me up." "Look, these injuries on my face were all left by her husband!" As Otto Yu spoke, he pointed to the blood and bruises on his face. Gene Zhao frowned impatiently. Hearing Otto Yu push the blame to her, April Qiao became increasingly upset. Without hesitation, she quickly took three steps, which looked like two, and stood in front of Gene Zhao, bowing deeply before saying, "Mr. Zhao, don't listen to his nonsense." "The goods worth twenty million had no issues at all. He deliberately made things difficult for our company..." "And, whatever he said about me trying to seduce him is false. He wanted to exploit his position to enforce some disgusting unspoken rules." "My husband hit him because he was the first to lay his hands on me. Look, I still have injuries on my face! If you don't believe me, take a look!" However, Gene Zhao waved her off, interrupting her defence with a cold smile, saying, "Do I need to care about who's right and who's wrong?" April Qiao was stunned. Gene Zhao coldly continued, "At my Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, attacking my man means you're in the wrong!" "If you dare to have someone attack him here, it means you're disrespecting me, Gene Zhao!" "Do you think I need to listen to your explanations?" As he spoke, Gene Zhao leaned slightly forward, his oppressive gaze fixed on April Qiao's eyes, laughing coldly, "I don't care at all!" Hearing this, April Qiao's complexion completely changed. On the other hand, Otto Yu seemed quite pleased with himself. Gene Zhao always protected his own. Even if the other party had the most valid reason, Gene Zhao would definitely retaliate if someone attacked him at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce. "President Zhao has always been like this, showing his dominance without listening to others." "Yes, last time someone from the Chamber of Commerce made a mistake and was beaten by outsiders. But President Zhao, without saying a word, directly crippled that person's two hands!" "Arguing with President Zhao is useless. His bias is that he deals with persons, not the issue, and is very overbearing!" The crowd surrounding them seemed to have expected this outcome from Gene Zhao. Overwhelmed by Gene Zhao's intimidating demeanour, April Qiao unconsciously took a few steps back and accidentally bumped into Baldwin Qi. Baldwin Qi steadied her and looked at Gene Zhao with a somewhat amused expression. Gene Zhao snorted coldly, lifting his gaze to meet Baldwin Qi's. As soon as their eyes met, Gene Zhao shuddered, and his sunglasses almost fell off. "I tried my best!" April Qiao said with gritted teeth. Baldwin Qi nodded with a smile, then slightly squinted his left eye. Having spent a full five years in the Underworld Prison, how could Gene Zhao not recognize the gesture The second head of a family made before taking action? He still vividly remembered how he was knocked down by Baldwin Qi with one hand and then tied up with the help of other prisoners like lapdogs, and hung from a utility pole for three days and nights. Given Baldwin Qi's peculiar "fetish" for hanging people upside down, the prisoners, having experienced it themselves, were quite eager to help The second head of a family by hanging up some disobedient newcomers and dealing with them. "Damn, it really was him... I saw him at the sports club that day!" Gene Zhao felt his calves cramping at that moment, feeling a bit unstable. Gene Zhao certainly didn't think that after getting out of prison and gaining even more power, he'd have the audacity to challenge Baldwin Qi. Damn, wasn't every person imprisoned in Underworld Prison a big shot? There were even those who trafficked nuclear warheads! Could he really provoke The second head of a family, who had tamed such vicious figures? "Damn it!" Gene Zhao suddenly cursed and clenched his fist. "President Zhao is angry. The Qiao Family is probably done for this time!" "It's been a long time since I've seen President Zhao so enraged. Those two are probably in for it." "It's so terrifying; everyone should step back to avoid offending President Zhao." Otto Yu, standing beside them, smirked and said to April Qiao and Baldwin Qi, "You two, kneel down and beg President Zhao to spare your lives." "Considering your statuses, I'm already honouring you by meeting you. And yet you dare to lay a hand on me?" "Now that President Zhao is here, try acting arrogant again!" "Smack!" Gene Zhao turned and punched Otto Yu in the face. The force knocked Otto off his feet, causing him to slide several meters across the ground. The punch shattered some of Otto Yu's teeth. He spat out several bloody molars and looked at Gene Zhao in confusion. After catching up, Gene Zhao kicked Otto Yu in the stomach and yelled, "I pay you to work at the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce and make money for me, not to act high and mighty in my name!" "You think someone as capable as Ms. Qiao would try to seduce you? Take a good look at yourself!" "You think a little power allows you to trouble others and tarnish the reputation of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce? Today, I'll end you!" Otto Yu was beaten so badly by Gene Zhao that he cried out, "President, I won't dare anymore. Please forgive me, give me another chance..." The surrounding people were stunned. This twist in events was just too fast! As Gene Zhao continued to kick Otto Yu, he was sweating profusely, trying to act as if he didn't recognize Baldwin Qi and kept reprimanding Otto for his wrongdoings, all the while continuing to kick him. "This bastard even dared to hit The second head of a family's wife. He's trying to get me killed!" Gene Zhao wished he could kill Otto Yu on the spot. April Qiao was stunned, her eyes wide, unable to believe the scene unfolding before her. Meanwhile, Polly Li in the cafe was so excited that she trembled, even spilling some of her coffee. "I've stumbled upon a treasure, and it's a national treasure at that!" Polly Li's lips quivered, and it took her a while to get out the words. She had been closely observing the whole time. Gene Zhao's attitude shifted from arrogance when he got out of the car to shock, fear, and now uncontrollable rage... All these changes began the moment he laid eyes on Baldwin Qi.
