Chapter Twenty-Nine: Announcing the Results

Page (1/3)

“Boom—!”

The sudden turn of events left everyone present utterly stunned.

What was going on?

Qingluan was the president of Wolong Bank, a decisive and formidable woman—the queen of Yunhai’s business world.

Yet here she was, bowing to Qin Feng and speaking to him with such deference?

The Xu family was dumbfounded.

So were Sun Yongkang and his son.

Even Song Yuting was completely bewildered.

They could scarcely believe their eyes.

Qin Feng, however, merely shook his head with a faint smile.

He knew perfectly well that Qingluan was doing this to establish his authority.

But even without her gesture, all the wealthy families present combined would still mean nothing to him.

“P-President Qing!”

Coming back to his senses, Sun Yongkang asked incredulously, “That boy is nothing but an intern doctor—powerless, penniless, a worthless loser!”

“How could you bow to him?!”

He was not the only one wondering.

Everyone present was equally puzzled.

“Impertinent!”

In an instant, Qingluan unleashed the intimidating authority of Wolong Bank’s president. Her queenly presence was impossible to miss.

She fixed Sun Yongkang with a cold stare and snapped, “Mr. Qin is a dragon among men, and the most honored guest of Wolong Bank!”

“You dare speak so disrespectfully to him. Do you take me for a fool?”

What?!

Sun Yongkang was stunned.

Under Qingluan’s terrifying pressure, he could barely breathe.

Qin Feng?!

When had this boy become Wolong Bank’s most honored guest?

Xu Banxia was completely taken aback.

In her eyes, Qin Feng was an unserious man who treated his work like a game. Although he occasionally displayed astonishing abilities, she never understood what he was busy with all day.

Yet now, he had somehow become an honored guest of Wolong Bank?

Song Yuting was equally shocked.

For the sake of the Song family, she had exhausted every avenue in search of a way forward, yet she had not even managed to contact Wolong Bank’s senior executives.

She was intensely curious.

What exactly had Qin Feng done to receive such treatment?

At that moment, Qingluan asked coldly, “You said just now that Qin Feng attacked your men?”

“Yes!” Sun Yongkang finally dared to speak. “That boy injured my son. I came here today to demand an explanation, but he is utterly lawless. He attacked us the moment he arrived!”

“If he hadn’t gone too far, I wouldn’t have made such a fuss!”

“How laughable!”

Qingluan let out a cold laugh, her voice laced with frost. “Do you think the surveillance cameras in this hotel are merely decorations? You were the one who brought people here to seek revenge and provoke a fight. You are the one who went too far.”

“You got beaten by Mr. Qin because you deserved it!”

“If you dare lay another finger on Mr. Qin today, you will be declaring yourself an enemy of Wolong Bank. I guarantee that none of you will leave this place alive!”

Sun Yongkang’s expression changed drastically.

On the wheelchair, Sun Zihang was even more bewildered.

Hadn’t they received inside information earlier that Wolong Bank had already decided to cooperate with the Sun family?

Then why was President Qingluan refusing to help the Sun family and instead siding with that worthless loser, Qin Feng?

This made no sense!

“Phew…”

At the same time, Song Yuting finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she did not know what relationship Qin Feng had with Qingluan, it was certainly a good thing that Qingluan was willing to stand up for him.

Likewise, all the guests present were intimidated by Qingluan’s icy, commanding tone.

Just what kind of background did this Qin Feng have?

To make someone like Qingluan stand behind him?

It was simply inconceivable!

“Listen carefully.”

Qingluan’s tone hardened as she ordered Sun Yongkang and his son, “Apologize to Mr. Qin immediately and obtain his forgiveness. Otherwise, get out of the Sailboat Hotel, and do not set foot on any of my territories ever again.”

“You have only one chance.”

The expressions of Sun Yongkang and his son instantly became horribly strained, and their hearts were filled with humiliation.

But an arm could never twist a thigh.

For one thing, they could not afford to offend Wolong Bank.

The Sun family might currently wield enormous influence in Yunhai, but compared with Wolong Bank, a world-class giant…

They were nothing.

For another, they were counting on reaching an agreement with Wolong Bank. If they caused trouble at this final juncture and ruined the relationship, all their previous efforts would be wasted.

Sun Yongkang clenched his teeth.

He endured it.

Once this was over and the partnership was secured, the Sun family would rise to become Yunhai’s fifth great superfamily.

Then he could take his time exacting revenge on Qin Feng.

“Mr. Qin, I was in the wrong just now. Please… forgive me.”

Sun Yongkang forced down his rage and apologized to Qin Feng.

Seeing his father apologize, Sun Zihang also endured the pain between his legs and struggled to his feet.

His voice was filled with resentment.

“I’m sorry.”

Qin Feng merely glanced at the father and son and said indifferently, “That is how you apologize?”

“Huh?” The two members of the Sun family stared at him blankly.

Then Qin Feng said coldly, “In front of me, an apology must be made on your knees.”

The moment those words fell, the entire hall erupted.

Getting the father and son of the Sun family to apologize was already extraordinary, yet this man actually wanted them to kneel…

This was—

“What?!”

Sun Yongkang and his son were instantly furious.

Their faces turned black with rage, their expressions more hideous than ever.

“You refuse?”

Qin Feng shrugged. “Fine, then forget it. I won’t force you.”

Qingluan immediately swept them with a cold, warning gaze.

Left with no choice, Sun Yongkang and his son could only grit their teeth and force themselves to kneel before Qin Feng.

“Sorry, Mr. Qin…”

“Louder.”

Qin Feng cut him off. “I can’t hear you!”

The father and son gritted their teeth and raised their voices. “Sorry, Mr. Qin. We were wrong…”

“Keep going.”

Qin Feng’s tone remained indifferent. “Stop only when I tell you to. Continue until I’m satisfied!”

“Sorry, Mr. Qin. We were wrong…”

“…”

Sun Yongkang and his son shouted at the tops of their lungs for several minutes.

Their voices were nearly hoarse.

Only then was Qin Feng satisfied. He nodded and said, “In view of your sincerity, I will let this matter go. But if there is a next time… an apology will be the least of your concerns.”

The father and son of the Sun family felt as though they had been pardoned from death and hurriedly scrambled to their feet.

Yet they had been humiliated by Qin Feng in front of everyone.

They were overcome with grief and rage.

At that moment, they wished they could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

“Pfft…”

Seeing Sun Yongkang and his son looking disheveled and utterly wretched, quite a few guests secretly laughed.

Even more were shaken to the core.

In Yunhai’s business world, the Sun family was now powerful enough to dominate everything.

Yet who could have imagined that the father and son would ever suffer such a humiliating defeat?

“Sweetheart!”

Xu Jingnian was suddenly filled with regret. He turned to Xu Banxia and asked, “Why didn’t you tell your father earlier that Qin Feng had this kind of relationship with President Qingluan?”

“If I had known, I would have asked him to pull some strings. Wouldn’t the partnership slot have been guaranteed to our Xu family?”

Xu Banxia was just as confused.

She had no idea Qin Feng even knew President Qingluan.

At this moment, she herself was still full of questions.

“Qin Feng, how did you come to know President Qingluan? And how did you become an honored guest of Wolong Bank?” Song Yuting was astonished as well, and could no longer suppress her curiosity.

“A secret.”

Qin Feng deliberately kept her guessing. “I’ll tell you gradually in the future.”

The more mysterious he acted, the more curious Song Yuting became.

The next moment, a spotlight shone upon the stage.

Surrounded by a group of senior executives, Qingluan stepped onto it, commanding everyone’s attention.

“Ladies and gentlemen!”

“Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend tonight’s banquet…”

As she delivered her opening remarks, the atmosphere in the hall began to stir.

At last, it was finally happening.

The announcement of Wolong Bank’s investment partner was the true highlight of the banquet.

Sun Yongkang and his son struggled to contain their excitement.

The reason they had swallowed their pride just now was to wait for this very moment—the announcement of the result.

And according to the information they had received…

The Sun family had already been chosen in advance.

They could hardly wait.

“Han Long knows Wolong Bank’s manager, and he even had someone put in a good word for us. Our Xu family may not be without a chance!” Xu Lianzhi said smugly, clutching Han Long’s arm.

Han Long, however, felt a surge of guilt.

How could he possibly know any manager?

He had merely been boasting.

Qingluan continued, “Our bank has conducted an in-depth investigation of many of Yunhai’s corporations, but we have consistently struggled to finalize a partner.”

“Fortunately, a certain gentleman showed me the way.”

“He is composed and wise, with a breadth of vision that even I can scarcely match. He also gave me an answer, and I am willing to trust his judgment.”

“I hereby announce that Wolong Bank’s partner for this collaboration is—”
