This really is a case of truth being stranger than fiction.

Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yiyi never expected to run into Zhu Yi, the chairman of Xuanhe International Group, here.

They thought, since they'd beaten up Manager Liang once, the business deal was definitely off.

But now...

After Zhu Yi finished speaking angrily, he coughed violently a few times due to his still weak body.

He then solemnly said to Liu Zixuan: "Doctor Liu, rest assured, I'll fire Liang Bingchuan immediately!"

"That's really not necessary. After all, he's your employee." Liu Zixuan shrugged, thinking it's better not to comment on such matters.

What if Liang Bingchuan had some sort of relationship with Zhu Yi, and he was just saying it for the sake of face?

However, Zhu Yi directly said: "I've been busy in the past and neglected the internal affairs of the group. I didn't expect that the management team has become so corrupt. I need to clean it up."

Then he shouted towards the outside: "Xiao Liu, go get the car."

"You're still very weak. Are you sure you want to go to the company now?" Wang Kun said.

"No worries, you know me, when I got shot twice back in the day, I didn't die. Am I going to fear this?" Zhu Yi laughed heartily and went into the room to change clothes.

After a while, he came out in a formal suit. Although his face was still a bit pale, the aura of a CEO was evident, commanding respect.

"Doctor Liu, President Jiang, let's go to my company to talk. I'll arrange everything for tonight."

During this brief encounter, Liu Zixuan realized that Zhu Yi was not a pretentious person. He had mentioned being shot before, and judging by his demeanor and the way he walked, there was a hint of a soldier's vibe.

He probably served in the military before, so a tough guy like him wouldn't talk about life-saving gratitude but would express it through his actions.

Liu Zixuan nodded: "Sure, I don't really have anything to do anyway."

Wang Kun smiled: "Since you're free for now, I'll entrust Brother Xuan to your care. I'll head back to the government side; I just started the job, can't always be absent."

"Alright, come over tonight. Same place as usual." Zhu Yi said.

"No problem."

With that, they walked out of the villa together, and Wang Kun drove off in his car.

Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yiyi followed Zhu Yi's car, heading towards Xuanhe International Group.

...

About half an hour later.

The car stopped below a twenty-something-story skyscraper, a very sleek building. It stood tall, with the words 'Xuanhe International' prominently displayed at the top.

A lot of luxury cars were parked in front of the company, dazzling the eyes of passersby.

Zhu Yi got out of the car and said with a smile: "Doctor Liu, President Jiang, please, come inside."

"Brother Zhu, this building must be worth a lot of money." Liu Zixuan laughed.

"Doing business is all about having a good front, it's not about the money."

"I'm curious, how much would it cost to buy a villa like the one you live in?" Liu Zixuan suddenly asked.

Zhu Yi held up two fingers.

"Two million?"

"Twenty million!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan gasped. It seemed he had to work harder, considering even Liu Ruyan's family's house was so expensive. If he wanted to compete with those families for Liu Ruyan, he needed a lot of money.

"If Doctor Liu likes the house there, I can gift you one." Zhu Yi was just worried about how to repay Liu Zixuan anyway since he asked about the house, he might as well gift him one; twenty million wasn't much to him.

"No, no, I was just asking out of curiosity. Don't take it seriously." Liu Zixuan laughed.

While they chatted, they took the elevator to Zhu Yi's office.

This office was about 200 square meters, with two very luxurious sofas, a large desk, and some antique calligraphy and paintings.

After Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yiyi sat down, Zhu Yi poured them two drinks.

He said, "Please sit tight for a moment. I'll grab something and be right back."

"You go ahead." Liu Zixuan waved his hand.

Once Zhu Yi left, Liu Zixuan grinned: "Rich people really live well, look at their homes, and compare that to their office. How grand!"

"It's still lacking compared to my mom's building."

What Liu Zixuan didn't expect was that Jiang Yiyi wasn't surprised at all, and instead, she seemed a bit disdainful of the group.

Almost dropping his jaw to the floor, he said, with a hint of exasperation: "Since your family is so wealthy, why start a business? Why not just live off your parents?"

"That's not fulfilling."

Jiang Yiyi straightforwardly shook her head: "My mom started her own business independently, which was a pretty big deal back in their time. Besides, my brother started venturing out at sixteen, and I don't want to just be a pretty face, I want to rely on myself."

"Rich people sure have fun."

Liu Zixuan muttered: "If I had a family like yours, I wouldn't venture out. I'd buy an island, build a palace, and have ten thousand beauties to keep me company every day."

"You wouldn't last three days." Jiang Yiyi looked down on him.

"Love beauty over power, dying beneath peonies, even as a ghost I'd be merry." Liu Zixuan laughed.

"What are you doing here?"

Just then, the office door opened, and Liang Bingchuan swaggered in.

He wondered what got into the boss today to call him to the office, but upon entering, he saw these two people.

Instantly, it annoyed him.

Seeing Liang Bingchuan's appearance now, Liu Zixuan laughed out loud.

It's not his fault; Liang Bingchuan looked particularly wretched at the moment, with a head wrapped in white gauze, tissues stuffed in his nose, and swollen black eyes. He looked just like a pig's head.

Liang Bingchuan barked: "What are you laughing at? I wonder why the police didn't arrest you. So you ran here to make a pre-emptive strike? Directly talking with our boss?"

"Hmm?" Liu Zixuan shrugged without saying much.

"Let me tell you, our boss would never be interested in small companies like yours and would definitely not cooperate with you."

Liang Bingchuan snorted coldly and continued: "I suggest you apologize to me right now, hand over a few million, and then let this little beauty accompany me for a few days. I might then calm down, otherwise when our boss comes, you'll be in trouble, especially when the police come, you'll be arrested!"

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Liu Zixuan feigned fear, shrinking his neck. Then he changed his tone: "Well, why don't you ask your boss to come over and then call the police to catch me!"
