Admitting Mistakes

"I'd like to see who else dares to block me today, if they're not afraid of death."

Xia Tiejun roared, looking around at the marketing department staff.

Seeing that everyone was too timid to step forward again, he let out a cold snort and pulled Shang Zhiyi towards the exit.

"Let go of me, let go of me!"

"Hmph, let go? If I don't have my way with you ten or eight times today, you won't be leaving this hotel."

"Help! Help!"

Seeing Shang Zhiyi's desperate expression, Xia Tiejun's evil smile grew even more unrestrained.

"Calling for help? I doubt anyone in this company dares to step up and stop me for you."

"Even Qi Zhenxing would have to consider if he has the capability to oppose the person behind me."

Just as Xia Tiejun was acting arrogantly and without restraint, an incredibly cold voice suddenly came from the front without any warning.

"Oh? Then what about me!"

The person speaking was Lin Chen, who had just returned from inspecting the company. He looked at Xia Tiejun, who was committing evil deeds, with a grim expression.

Especially when he saw two other people lying on the ground, the already chilling coldness in his eyes erupted with even more intensity.

It was evident how furious he was at that moment.

[Ding! System has issued mission 'Help Shang Zhiyi and Punish Xia Tiejun'. Corresponding rewards will be given based on the completion level of the mission.]

As Lin Chen was seething with rage, a familiar system voice sounded in his mind again.

"It seems this Xia Tiejun cannot be spared, for both emotional and logical reasons."

Lin Chen's eyes flashed with cold light as he stared directly at Xia Tiejun in front of him.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the staff in the marketing department all turned their gazes over.

When they saw that it was Lin Chen, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Including Shang Zhiyi and Deng Wenji, the heavy stones in their hearts finally fell completely upon seeing Lin Chen.

"With Lin Chen here, this matter can be resolved," Shang Zhiyi thought to herself thankfully.

However, where there is happiness, there is also unhappiness.

The person most affected was Xia Tiejun, the general manager of Shilin Guomao Group.

He had initially thought that after the obstruction from those two people, no one else would dare to stand up.

But what he never expected was that someone would still dare to brazenly step forward and provoke his supreme authority.

Being provoked repeatedly in front of everyone like this was simply slapping Xia Tiejun in the face, treating him as if he were nothing.

Thinking of this, his face immediately turned red and then green.

"Kid, I don't care which department you're from, but you're the first one to dare to provoke me, Xia Tiejun, in public under these circumstances."

Lin Chen sneered, "Is that so? Among all the scumbags, you are the first one to make me this angry."

The two were at loggerheads, neither willing to back down.

Especially when Xia Tiejun heard himself being called a scumbag, his expression became even more ferocious.

Since he became the general manager of Shilin Guomao Group, this was the first time anyone had dared to insult and mock him so directly.

Instantly, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Kid, you're looking for death."

Xia Tiejun roared and was about to step forward to beat up Lin Chen.

However, at this moment, the elevator doors opened again.

"Xia Tiejun, what are you doing? Stop immediately!"

The person who arrived was Qi Zhenxing. After he finished using the restroom, he heard from someone downstairs that Lin Chen had gone to the marketing department and immediately rushed over.

But what he never expected was to see this scene as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.

"Qi Zhenxing, are you out of your mind? This kid dared to insult and mock me in public, and you're telling me to stop?"

"If I don't beat him so badly that his own mother wouldn't recognize him today, then my name isn't Xia Tiejun."

Xia Tiejun said no more and charged towards Lin Chen, clenching his fist.

Seeing this, Qi Zhenxing's soul had already been half scared to death.

If Lin Chen were actually beaten up in the company today, given his mysterious background, Qi Zhenxing would likely never be able to establish himself in Zhonghai's business world again.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhenxing no longer held back and immediately kicked Xia Tiejun, who was rushing towards Lin Chen.

With a dull thud, Xia Tiejun, who was about to reach Lin Chen, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Qi Zhenxing, are you crazy? You dare to hit me too."

When Xia Tiejun's gaze fell upon him, even with Qi Zhenxing's status, his eyelids involuntarily twitched.

He knew about Xia Tiejun's background.

However, once he thought about Lin Chen's background being even more mysterious and powerful, he no longer had any reservations.

"Mr. Xia, how long do you intend to make a scene? This Mr. Lin is our group's largest shareholder."

"Largest shareholder?"

Xia Tiejun's expression changed slightly, but it was fleeting. He then said, "Qi Zhenxing, do you really think I'm a three-year-old? I've met all the shareholders of Shilin Group, and I've never heard of anyone like him."

"Yes, you've met all the shareholders, but that doesn't mean those shareholders wouldn't sell their shares."

"And this Mr. Lin Chen, Lin Chen, is precisely the new largest shareholder of our Shilin Guomao Group. Even I only received the news today."

Upon hearing this, even Xia Tiejun's expression couldn't help but change several times.

Although the previous largest shareholder only held eleven percent of the group's shares, the annual dividends were enough to reach billions.

Now that those eleven percent of shares had been bought out, he naturally couldn't afford to offend the buyer.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of Lin Chen's title as the group's largest shareholder.

It was just that before his interests were infringed upon or a complete falling out occurred, he didn't want to offend such a prominent figure over such a trivial matter.

"Heh heh, well, that's a real case of the Dragon King's temple being flooded by the Dragon King's own temple."

"Lin Chen, is it? It was my fault for being reckless just now. If there's anything I did wrong, I hope you'll be understanding."

Xia Tiejun was indeed the general manager of Shilin Group. One moment he had a look of wanting to kill, and the next he had changed to a smiling face as if greeting an old friend after a long absence.

Based on this alone, he was quite a character.

Seeing Lin Chen's stern face and lack of response, even Xia Tiejun, who didn't want to offend him, started to look displeased.

Qi Zhenxing, standing beside them, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"General Manager Xia, don't blame Mr. Lin for not giving you face. Given your demeanor just now, as if you wanted him dead, anyone would be in a bad mood."

Qi Zhenxing didn't know the specifics of the situation and thought that Xia Tiejun had offended Lin Chen, which caused the latter to be angry.

If he had known it was because of Shang Zhiyi, he probably wouldn't have dared to step forward to mediate, even if he had ten thousand times the courage.

Xia Tiejun, hearing this, felt that it made some sense, and his expression was no longer as unpleasant as before.

He said with a smile, "Alright, I understand. It was my fault just now, Mr. Lin. I hope you won't be angry."

After speaking, he turned to Qi Zhenxing and said, "Qi Zhenxing, it was my fault regarding Mr. Lin. I can admit my mistake."

"However, the people in the marketing department who offended me won't get off so easily."

"Otherwise, if word of this gets out, how will I, Xia Tiejun, be able to hold my head up in the group and in society in the future?"

"Today, I'm going to make this woman pay the price no matter what!"
