The King of the Network

What?

The marketing department also offended Xia Tiejun?!

Hearing this, Qi Zhenxing's heart skipped a beat.

If this were any other day, he would naturally side with Xia Tiejun, as the man had a big shot backing him up.

But times had changed. The marketing department was no longer what it used to be, and there was a special person within it now.

So, to avoid making a mistake, Qi Zhenxing cautiously asked for more information.

"Of course, General Manager Xia is the general manager of the group. It wouldn't make sense if he didn't have some authority."

"I just don't know, General Manager Xia, who in the marketing department offended you to make you so angry?"

Hearing this, Xia Tiejun's expression, which had just calmed down, immediately turned grim again. He said angrily:

"Who else could it be? It's this damned woman. She actually dared to smash my head with a water cup and made my head bleed."

"I'll teach her a good lesson today no matter what."

"You... What did you say? You said Miss Shang hit you?"

Hearing this, Qi Zhenxing almost fainted on the spot. He immediately rushed forward to explain:

"General Manager Xia, Miss Shang has a significant relationship with Mr. Lin. You absolutely cannot offend her."

"What? Related to him?!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tiejun's eyes narrowed.

He had endured for three whole years because of this woman, Shang Zhiyi, and had even been hit on the head just now.

And now you're telling me this person is related to Lin Chen? Isn't this just playing with me?

For a moment, a surge of resentment rushed from Xia Tiejun's heart to his forehead.

However, after a moment, he forcibly suppressed the resentment.

It was all because Lin Chen was no ordinary person. Xia Tiejun would never fall out with him unless it was absolutely necessary.

He looked up at Shang Zhiyi beside him, then at Lin Chen on the other side, and finally gritted his teeth, saying:

"Alright, today, for the sake of the major shareholder Lin, I won't pursue this matter further. Consider it an apology for offending major shareholder Lin earlier."

With that, Xia Tiejun left the marketing department in a huff without another word.

Seeing this, Qi Zhenxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could fully relax, he heard a sentence that made his entire heart hang in suspense.

"Did I say you could leave?"

The person speaking was Lin Chen.

He had been standing there listening to the performance of Qi Zhenxing and Xia Tiejun for a long time.

He had expected the former to properly punish Xia Tiejun, but in the end, the man said nothing and even downplayed the incident.

Although Qi Zhenxing saw it as helping him, Lin Chen saw it as an insult.

His classmate was being bullied in front of him, and now the perpetrator intended to let it go with just a few insipid words. What did that make Lin Chen?

Moreover, the system mission hadn't been completed yet. If he let it go now, who would give him the treasure chest? How could he continue to show off happily in the future?

Therefore, for both reason and sentiment, this matter had to be dealt with strictly today.

"What? Does major shareholder Lin have any further instructions?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tiejun stopped in his tracks.

He was already holding back a fire from the previous incident. Now, after hearing Lin Chen's words, his face turned ashen.

"Hmph, you bullied my person and just plan to leave like this. I'm afraid that's not acceptable."

"Then what do you want?"

"It's simple. Kneel down and apologize to my friend, slap yourself five hundred times, and then get out of here."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped.

Especially Qi Zhenxing, who trembled a few times after hearing this.

He wanted to step forward and mediate again, but at this point, mediation was no longer possible.

Moreover, what was his status? On the surface, he was the high and mighty chairman of the group, holding three percent of the group's shares.

But compared to the background and power of these two big shots, what was he?

Even if he wanted to mediate in this situation, he would need the courage to do so.

"What did you say?"

"You want me to kneel down, apologize, and slap myself five hundred times? And then get out of here?"

"Do you know what you're saying?"

Xia Tiejun laughed in anger and said, "Lin Chen, don't push your luck. Do you think you can do whatever you want in Zhonghai just because you're a major shareholder of Shilin Guomao Group?"

"You're wealthy, that's true, but let me tell you, power is what truly matters in Zhonghai."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, with just one phone call, I can make it so you can't survive in Zhonghai anymore."

"However, seeing as you're a shareholder of the group, I don't want to make things difficult for you."

"As long as you kneel down and slap yourself five hundred times right now, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Xia Tiejun narrowed his eyes and sneered.

It was clear that his intention today was to let everyone present know that he, Xia Tiejun, was the true master of the group.

Even if you were a major shareholder of the group and received countless dividends, you still had to obey his orders.

Otherwise, the consequences would be severe.

However, Lin Chen didn't seem to care at all. He said, "Alright, then today I'll have to see how your one phone call can make me unable to survive in Zhonghai."

Lin Chen might not have the background, but don't forget he had the system.

Moreover, he currently held ninety percent of the shares in Zhonghai First Hospital.

Although Zhonghai First Hospital appeared to be just a private hospital on the surface, if you looked deeper, you would realize the immense interests and connections tied to a hospital.

Even a giant like Shilin Guomao Group couldn't compare, because their nature was on entirely different levels.

If Shilin Guomao Group represented the elite of the business world, then Zhonghai First Hospital was the King of the Network.

Based on connections alone, no one in Zhonghai could surpass Zhonghai First Hospital.

"Good, Lin Chen. Since you're looking for death, I'll grant it to you today."

Xia Tiejun let out a cold laugh, then took out his phone and dialed a number.

The moment the call was connected, his previously arrogant and overbearing demeanor instantly turned into that of a docile cat.

"Brother Bin, it's Xia Tiejun. Today at Shilin..."

Xia Tiejun briefly explained what had happened before hanging up and looking at Lin Chen, saying:

"Kid, it's too late for you to beg for mercy now. Let's see how arrogant you can be later."

Inside a luxurious villa in Zhonghai.

A middle-aged man was leisurely drinking tea on the sofa, with a strong young man standing respectfully beside him.

The young man had a long scar on his face, running from his forehead down to his chin.

Judging by this alone, this guy was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Boss Tang, the madam has been kneeling outside since yesterday. As a subordinate, I can't exactly kick her out. What do you think..."

The young man with the scar said.

"Madam?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Tang's relaxed expression immediately tensed. He said, "A Bin, are my words no longer effective for you now?"

"Zhang Bin wouldn't dare. Boss Tang's words will always be effective for A Bin."

Zhang Bin, startled, quickly bowed and apologized.

He knew this man in front of him very well; his moods dictated everything.

Even though he was now the head of his confidantes, if he displeased Mr. Tang, he could be replaced at any moment.

And because of this, he would never be able to take a single step in Zhonghai again.

This showed how powerful the man in front of him was in terms of connections in Zhonghai.
