Ma Heng no longer looked at Xu Cun, who had collapsed on the ground, his face already drained of color.

Instead, he walked up to Zhuang Xin and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhuang."

"Who are you..."

Zhuang Xin didn't recognize Ma Heng.

"Haha! Young Master Zhuang definitely doesn't know me, but Old Master Qu and I are old acquaintances. He specifically mentioned you when you arrived this time."

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Zhuang Xin extended his hand, and he and Ma Heng shook hands.

Ma Heng glanced at the sports car not far away. "Young Master Zhuang, if you like it, would you like to try it again?"

"Try it? This car... didn't you guys lend it? If I drive it away, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble. I think it's best not to. I'll find someone to get one for myself later." Zhuang Xin shook his head.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Even if this car is borrowed, it's borrowed from my own branch company. In the end, it's all my own property. You can drive it away anytime."

Ma Heng took off the keys and put them into Zhuang Xin's hand.

Zhuang Xin looked at the keys in his hand and didn't say anything else. He touched the Koenigsegg, valued at forty-seven million, and said with a smile, "Then thank you, Boss Ma."

"What's there to thank? Young Master Zhuang is Old Master Qu's friend, which makes him my friend, Ma Heng's friend. It's just a car." Ma Heng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Do you have time, Young Master Zhuang? Come up for a cup of tea?"

"Boss Ma's kind invitation, I'm naturally willing."

With that, the two walked upstairs.

As for Zhao Guangwei...

Before Ma Heng left, he beckoned to someone nearby. The man in the black suit stepped forward. Ma Heng said a few words, and the man in the black suit nodded solemnly.

Then he grabbed a few people and directly seized Zhao Guangwei and Xu Cun, hoisting them up and carrying them outside.

"What are you doing? I'm an old customer here, how can you treat me like this? Let go of me!" Zhao Guangwei's eyes widened, and he roared.

Wen Yaohe, standing nearby, swallowed hard. She wanted to go find Zhuang Xin but didn't dare.

Zhao Guangwei had pulled her over earlier, and she didn't believe Zhuang Xin hadn't seen it.

If Zhuang Xin were to ask intentionally, all her embarrassing secrets would be exposed.

She shrank her head and Wen Yaohe scurried away from the car show.

Xu Cun, on the other hand, looked ashen. He had been dismissed from his position and would also have his accounts thoroughly investigated...

For him, this meant that not only would the money he had previously pocketed have to be returned with interest, but he would also face a lawsuit, and possibly even prison time.

Even if he were lucky enough to escape, this stain would never be erased from his life.

No one would dare to hire him again; his life was ruined...

"Young Master Zhuang, please..." Ma Heng didn't even glance at the two men. Instead, he walked upstairs alongside Zhuang Xin and invited him into the general manager's office.

Then, a female secretary in a black professional suit approached, fawning over Zhuang Xin with a flirtatious glance and a charming smile. "Young Master Zhuang, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"

"Hmm, just anything will do." Zhuang Xin sank into the sofa. He had to admit, this sofa was truly comfortable and soft.

"Get the best. Since Young Master Zhuang is here, bring out that tea cake I entrusted someone to bring last time."

"Right away."

The secretary left, her hips swaying. Ma Heng sat beside Zhuang Xin with a chuckle and asked, "Young Master Zhuang, I heard... Old Master Qu transferred a piece of land and a stretch of sea area connected to the beach to you before?"

"Oh? He told you?" Zhuang Xin mused.

"Hey, Old Master Qu mentioned it casually, and I remembered it. I don't have any ill intentions, I just want to remind Young Master Zhuang that the land is fine; with your elder brother Zhu Zuo in charge, no one will dare to trouble you. But this sea area, it's said to have been acquired from a nouveau riche. This nouveau riche's methods of starting his business were not clean, so I just wanted to remind Young Master Zhuang."

"Oh?"

"Old Master Qu didn't tell you? This nouveau riche is called 'Long Jun'. He's quite famous around here and has recruited many underground boxers as bodyguards. These people don't hold back when they fight. If there's trouble and you don't have anyone under you, it might be difficult to handle. However, I also have quite a few bodyguards. If Young Master Zhuang is willing, you can call me anytime."

Ma Heng took out a business card and handed it to Zhuang Xin.

Zhuang Xin looked deeply at Ma Heng. "Boss Ma, I appreciate your kindness. But since Boss Ma is so righteous, if there's anything I, Zhuang Xin, can do to help in the future, I will."

"Young Master Zhuang is joking. What could happen to me? The people in Juncheng who can trouble me can be counted on one hand. Besides, I, Ma Heng, am a low-key person and don't easily offend people."

Ma Heng waved his hand with a smile.

The secretary also returned, pouring them a cup of tea.

Even though Zhuang Xin didn't know much about tea, just smelling the aroma made him feel a little intoxicated.

Indeed, the lives of the rich were so simple and unpretentious.

He picked up the teacup and drank it all down, nodding with satisfaction.

The secretary, on the other hand, felt a pang of heartache.

With that one sip, Zhuang Xin had consumed several thousand. Boss Ma was usually reluctant to offer this tea to guests, but the fact that he brought it out today proved that this young man's status was likely even more terrifying than Ma Heng's.

"Young Master Zhuang, let me pour you another cup of tea." The secretary revealed a charming smile and poured tea for Zhuang Xin, deliberately sitting next to him.

Ma Heng chuckled, leaned in, and whispered in Zhuang Xin's ear, "If Young Master Zhuang is willing, I can let this slut accompany you for a few rounds outside?"

"Uh... that's not necessary." Zhuang Xin's face turned slightly red, and he quickly stood up.

The secretary glanced at Zhuang Xin in surprise. Could this Young Master Zhuang still be a complete novice?

Of all the rich people he knew, whether bosses or young masters, not one was a pushover.

This one... was truly a rare sight.

Ma Heng, who had seen countless people, immediately recognized Zhuang Xin as a newcomer. He chuckled slyly, "If Young Master Zhuang isn't satisfied, I'll help you find someone later. I'll definitely get you a good one."

"N-no need." Zhuang Xin was so startled that he pushed the door open and left. After going downstairs, he got into the Koenigsegg and drove away.

Ma Heng walked out of the office and stood in the hallway, watching Zhuang Xin leave. He shook his head, "I really can't understand him. This Young Master Zhuang's words and actions are worlds apart from many other young masters."

The secretary leaned on Ma Heng's shoulder, her breath fragrant. "That's right. If it were any other young master with a higher status, who would talk to us like this? There wasn't a trace of arrogance in his eyes. If..." As if thinking of something, a slight flush appeared in the secretary's beautiful eyes.

"Where's Sichun? You slut, even if Young Master Zhuang fancied you, you wouldn't be able to cross the threshold of their family! Someone like him is not someone you can aspire to."
