Chapter 535: Chapter 535 Kneeling and Begging for Mercy

"What do you mean, ’just a bottle of wine’? This wine is older than you, and the entire world probably doesn’t have more than ten thousand bottles! Do you understand its value?" Zhang Tianxiang roared.

In an instant, Xu Donglin’s heart could be said to have reached the peak of frustration. Just now, he had been holding his own against a crowd, with at least Zhang Tianxiang on his side.

And now, what do you know, Zhang Tianxiang actually switched sides to Chen Wei and his group, helping them gang up against him and berating him.

Xu Donglin felt extremely wronged in his heart, even starting to regret why he had taken on this job in the first place—it was thankless and exhausting!

"That’s why I said, poverty limits the imagination of people like you. What would you say if I told you this watch is nearly a million—worth nine hundred and eighty thousand? A fake? A knockoff?"

Zhang Tianxiang said speechlessly, "If the fakes had this level of craftsmanship, why would they still make fakes? Are they out of their minds?"

A nine hundred and eighty thousand watch!

Coming from Zhang Tianxiang’s mouth, this statement removed any doubt in the husband and wife duo of Tang Qingguo and Jiang Hui, leaving them only feeling shocked.

That’s the equivalent of wearing two apartments on your wrist!

No wonder his gaze had been continuously drawn to that watch, finding it too beautiful.

"..." Tang Guoqing felt nearly foolish. A watch worth more than ninety thousand, nearly a million, plus three hundred thousand or so, all adding up to nearly one point five million, and he had casually stashed it in a corner of the sofa.

Anyone not in the know would probably think his family was really wealthy.

Thinking about this, Tang Guoqing couldn’t help but reproach Tang Qing with a glance, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier about something so valuable, what if it got knocked or damaged?"

"Isn’t it because I was worried you’d find the gift too expensive and refuse to accept it, making it awkward for everyone?" Tang Qing pouted with some grievance.

"Such an expensive gift, how could we accept it!" Tang Guoqing said without a second thought.

"Uncle, didn’t you just say that you already consider me as part of the family? Is it not normal for me to buy something to show my respect to the family? Or are you saying that you only pay lip service?" Chen Wei asked.

"Chen, I... I didn’t mean that," Tang Guoqing finally understood Tang Qing’s good intentions.

Indeed, it was a dilemma whether to accept the gift or not.

They, as elders, were of course delighted by Chen Wei’s thoughtfulness, but the gift was just too extravagant.

Meanwhile, Zhang Tianxiang was deeply burying his head, muttering to himself, repeatedly whispering, "Chen Wei... Chen... Chen Wei... Chen... Chen..."

While murmuring to himself, he did not forget to steal a glance at Chen Wei.

Wait a minute! This angle!

Zhang Tianxiang suddenly recalled why Chen Wei seemed so familiar, as if he had met him somewhere before.

Initially, Zhang Tianxiang didn’t care, but after witnessing Chen Wei’s wealth, he couldn’t just ignore it.

He finally remembered where he had seen Chen Wei—it was at a banquet!

However, that banquet was attended by social elites, and he himself didn’t even rank among them.

But Chen Wei was the center of everyone’s attention at the event, surrounded by layers of people, all hoping to exchange a word with him.

Zhang Tianxiang naturally also wanted to speak with him, but he was more than aware that he had no such standing; although only a few steps away, the actual distance between them was vaster than that between heaven and earth!

Now, he had finally managed to converse with him, but it was to compete over a woman...

In an instant, Zhang Tianxiang felt like killing Xu Donglin!

The old witch was clearly setting him up to fall into a trap!

Zhang Tianxiang became extremely nervous; he was acutely aware that his small company meant nothing to a big shot like Chen Wei. With just a careless word, he could bring about its downfall!

A company can be restarted with effort, but what Zhang Tianxiang truly feared was that Chen Wei would use his power to blacklist him worldwide! Denying him any chance to rise again! Leaving him nowhere to turn!

At this thought, his already high-strung heart lurched into his throat, nearly leaping out of his mouth.

He was truly on the brink of madness! Why did this have to happen to him?

No! He must do something, anything to salvage the situation, to minimize the losses!

With that thought, Zhang Tianxiang abruptly stood up from the sofa, suddenly becoming the center of attention in the room.

Everyone was curious, what was he going to do next?

The next second, to everyone’s disbelief, accompanied by a "thump," Zhang Tianxiang bent his knees and knelt down cleanly in front of Chen Wei.

Immediately, he bowed and, without any hesitation, his head forcefully struck the ground as he kowtowed, "President Chen, I’m sorry! I have come to a deep realization of my mistakes. It was arrogant of me to compete with you for a woman. I’m willing to take full responsibility. Please, show me mercy and grant me a way to survive!"

"President Chen? You’ve changed your tune rather quickly, don’t you think? Weren’t you just shouting and screaming at me a moment ago?" Chen Wei sneered coldly.

"President Chen, I was confused before, I didn’t realize it. I forgot that I had seen your esteemed presence at a banquet before. Now, I remember. Everything is my fault, I was blind and ignorant! A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory..."

Slap! Slap! Slap...

As he spoke, Zhang Tianxiang straightened up, raised his hands, and began to slap his own face harshly, as if it wasn’t even his own.

It was difficult not to notice the intensity of his will to survive.

His face quickly swelled up from the slaps!

Seeing this, Xu Donglin finally realized that Zhang Tianxiang was not joking, and that he, indeed, had provoked a major figure!

His pupils shook, his knees buckled uncontrollably, and then he too knelt down and kowtowed, "I’m sorry! Please, forgive me!"

If even Zhang Tianxiang couldn’t handle this person, how could Xu Donglin, a cunning individual, not know whether he could stand up to him or not?

At that moment, Xu Donglin felt as if there were a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment, potentially costing him his life.

"Get out of here, don’t spoil the mood of the uncles and aunts," Chen Wei waved his hand dismissively. After all, he was in front of Tang Guoqing and Jiang Hui, and he didn’t want to appear too violent, to shed blood? That was even less likely.

To ruin his reputation for such a trivial character was not worth it, Zhang Tianxiang was certainly not worth it.

"Alright, I’m going, I’m going!" Zhang Tianxiang, as if granted a special pardon, hurriedly got up and scrambled away.

He felt lucky the man didn’t press further, seemingly easy to fool.

"Wait for me!" Seeing his chance, Xu Donglin quickly followed, his footsteps hurried.

The two men fled to the ground floor.

As Zhang Tianxiang pondered which bar to go to for a drink to relieve his stress, a phone call came in the next second.

It informed him that the company was bankrupt, all partners would rather breach their contracts than continue cooperation, and there was no room for negotiation.

At that moment, Zhang Tianxiang felt as if struck by lightning, even though just before everything had been going well, drinking and discussing grand visions and ambitions.

It was obvious whose doing this was.

"..." The phone fell to the ground, and Zhang Tianxiang almost cried.

However, at this time, Xu Donglin chose an inopportune moment to speak, "Tianxiang, I still have a few good girls, non-refundable deposits though, but I can introduce them to you, what do you think?"

"Introduce your sister, I’m going to kill you, you old witch!" Zhang Tianxiang, unable to contain his anger, rushed forward with a flurry of punches and kicks.
