Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Zhao Qiqiang’s Threat

Chen Dashan glanced at Xue Mengyu indifferently, without paying much attention.

Seeing Chen Dashan just ignored her after he was done, wasn’t this the typical case of using someone and then discarding them? Xue Mengyu glared at Chen Dashan’s back with gritted teeth, shouting, "You bastard, I will never let you get away with this!"

"I will call the police!"

"I will make you pay!"

"Hiss..."

As Xue Mengyu took a step supported by Guo Jinyue, she felt a burning pain in her lower body.

Frowning, she looked at Guo Jinyue, initially wanting to ask if she was in pain too, but remembering the look of enjoyment on Guo Jinyue’s face earlier, she swallowed back her words.

...

The three of them returned to the investment promotion event venue together.

At this moment, on the stage decorated in white, the female host was dressed skimpily, holding a microphone and saying something. Many people below the stage were listening attentively, smiling as if very interested in the topic.

However, quite a few people were whispering, "What’s going on, this is supposed to be an investment promotion event, but the main person hasn’t even shown up."

"Yeah, if President Guo didn’t invite us, who would have time for this?"

"Didn’t President Guo say this was a great project? I heard President Guo’s daughter has taken a lot of shares..."

"If that’s the case, then this project is definitely stable!"

The person speaking looked confident, and the others nodded as well. Everyone in Furong County knew Guo Dafu’s capabilities, and since he was known to spoil his daughter, Guo Jinyue’s investment projects never lost money.

Just when everyone was discussing, the host was about to bring them to a stop.

The female host’s eyes suddenly brightened as she looked towards the door and said, "Our distinguished guest has arrived!"

"Please welcome Mr. Chen Dashan!"

Seeing Chen Dashan and the other two, the hostess finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they hadn’t shown up, she would have run out of things to say. Next, she wouldn’t know what to do.

Everyone in the hall turned their heads.

The glass doors of the hall opened automatically, and Guo Jinyue, looking very intimate, was holding Chen Dashan’s arm, gazing at his face with admiration.

Xue Mengyu had a professional smile on her face, though she walked with a bit of difficulty, waving to everyone from behind the two.

Someone immediately stepped forward towards Chen Dashan, saying, "President Chen, it’s an honor to finally meet you in person!"

"Yes, we’ve always heard that President Chen is young and promising, truly a young hero!"

"President Chen’s business is growing bigger and bigger. I’m Old Li, who does construction. Please take care of me in the future!"

"I’m in the medical supply business, President Chen. Here’s my business card!"

"This is mine, my family is in the cement factory business..."

In a moment, Chen Dashan was surrounded by a group of people, all nodding and bowing, trying to curry favor. Chen Dashan stood in the center, always wearing a polite smile, accepting each business card handed to him.

Today, most of the attendees were friends of figures like Guo Dafu, Liu Yishou, Wang Shiman, Qin Hailong, giving enough respect to Chen Dashan.

"When can we drink at your and Miss Guo’s wedding banquet?"

Someone asked with a teasing tone.

Another person jested, "What about Miss Liu then?"

"We can only say that President Chen is such a sentimental man, a model for men, an intermediate goal!"

A group of people laughed, looking at Chen Dashan with eyes filled with flattery and sycophancy. With the power behind Chen Dashan, none of them could afford to offend him. However, in front of him, these haughty young ladies acted as if they had lost their souls, surrounding him.

One couldn’t help but admire Chen Dashan’s charm.

Xue Mengyu stood at the back of the crowd, unnoticed by anyone. She recalled that in the past, whenever she appeared, she was always the center of attention.

But now, looking at Chen Dashan’s profile, she found him handsome and composed, exuding an aura of calmness all over. Without sufficient confidence, one couldn’t have such a presence.

One had to admit, Chen Dashan was excellent.

Xue Mengyu felt a mix of emotions towards Chen Dashan, loving and hating him at the same time.

"This time, thanks to everyone’s help with the Youlong Garden project, I will definitely repay the favor whenever I can in the future!"

Chen Dashan raised his hand, smiling and bowing in gratitude towards everyone.

Someone immediately said, "Ah, President Chen, you’re being too modest. With such a good project, President Chen leading us is allowing us to make money!"

"Yes, I have already signed the contract. Five million is just a small token of my appreciation!"

"Here’s mine!"

Everyone volunteered, eager to leave a good impression on Chen Dashan. After all, Chen Dashan was now the head of the old district and owned Chen Wang Pharmaceutical, which reportedly had weekly sales of over ten million. Who wouldn’t want to curry favor with such an up-and-coming star?

Xue Mengyu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Furong County was only so big, with only a few powerful people. Many of them she had approached individually, all of whom had turned her down.

Some even spoke harshly, but to her surprise, with Chen Dashan, these people seemed completely different.

"What are you standing there for?"

Chen Dashan looked at Xue Mengyu, frowning and continuing, "Can’t you see there are a lot of contracts? Take them, are you going to let me carry them all?"

"You are quite a laid-back general manager!"

"You..."

Xue Mengyu angrily took the contracts. Any good impression she had of Chen Dashan vanished instantly. He was just a rogue, a scoundrel!

"Hahaha..."

Everyone saw Chen Dashan and Xue Mengyu flirting and bickering, each with a strange expression.

Talented man and beautiful woman, they really looked well-matched.

"Let’s see who dares to sign a contract today!"

At this moment, a loud male voice filled the air, full of arrogance and threat.

Chen Dashan turned his head and saw Zhao Qiqiang, hands in his pockets, chewing gum, followed by a group of professional bodyguards. Zhao Qiqiang approached the hall with a lazy, swaggering gait.

"Mr. Zhao?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, everyone on the scene wearing a shocked expression, not understanding what Zhao Qiqiang wanted.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

A pin drop could be heard, with everyone nervously watching Zhao Qiqiang.

Zhao Qiqiang scanned the crowd and, seeing their respectful looks, felt even more smug. He walked proudly, his chin raised and said, "Whoever signed the contract just now, stand up!"

"I am putting my words out here today, whoever dares to sign the contract is going against me, Zhao Qiqiang, and the Zhao Family!"

Seeing everyone’s frightened expressions, Zhao Qiqiang sneered, "Offending the Zhao Family isn’t just about losing money, it’s about whether you can continue living in Furong County, and whether you can live in peace..."

As soon as he finished, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

There was another round of low-pitched discussions, "What are we going to do?"

"Yes, Zhao Qiqiang is too overbearing!"

"What should we do? We can’t afford to offend either side!"

"How about we reconsider?"
