Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mobilization of All Forces, Welcoming the Arrival of the Distinguished Guest

Su Zheng felt he could no longer endure. Taking a deep breath, he first pulled out his phone to send a questioning message to Qiao Lan, then his eyes flickered with murderous intent.

“Today, anyone here who speaks disrespectfully will not be leaving!” he declared, his body radiating a cold, menacing aura as he prepared to act.

These people, with their dog-like disdain for others and filthy hearts, deserved a lesson—only that could quell his fury.

“Will you shut up!” Chen Muxue, seeing that Su Zheng was not backing down, was now inflamed with anger. She shouted, her gaze icy but tinged with a plea, hoping Su Zheng would stop causing trouble.

They were merely demanding fifty thousand in compensation; if the matter escalated, their entire family business might be at stake!

Laughter erupted again all around, eyes gleaming with mockery, most enjoying the spectacle of the two quarreling.

Especially Chen Peng and Ella, who stood there smugly, quietly waiting for Su Zheng to make a fool of himself.

Although one side of Chen Peng’s face was swollen, it did nothing to dampen his spirits.

He was not worried about missing his chance for revenge. After all, this was a car dealership under the Li family, and the security guards represented the rules here. He was already plotting how best to humiliate Su Zheng.

“What’s going on here? Security! I was away for a video meeting, and this is how you maintain order?”

At that moment, a middle-aged man strode from the elevator, dressed in a sharp business suit, sternly questioning the security staff.

“Manager Li, please calm down. It’s like this: these two came into our store and assaulted a customer. I’ve already taken control, and we're waiting for them to apologize to the client,” the security chief explained hurriedly, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

“Someone dares to make trouble here? Are they tired of living? Bring them all to the reception room immediately and stop disturbing other customers. Don’t you understand that?”

Manager Li scolded loudly.

“And just now, the director sent me a video message—today, an important guest will be visiting our store. Get everyone moving and tidy the main hall! You, go find a red carpet. You, prepare red wine. And you, organize desserts. I heard the guest’s wife will be coming too!”

“Why are you all standing around? Move!”

Manager Li barked orders, paying little attention to Su Zheng and Chen Muxue, who were surrounded by security.

Compared to the incoming VIP, he had no time to waste on trivial matters.

After all, even the director was rushing over, and accompanying him would be the real boss, President Li!

Determined to impress President Li, Manager Li decided to put all other issues aside and mobilize the entire staff for preparations. This was a rare opportunity to perform in front of President Li—if he won his favor, his future would surely be bright.

Those around, upon hearing that a distinguished guest would arrive, showed longing expressions.

For them, having never crossed into that elite circle, it was only natural to wonder who the VIP might be. If they could snap a photo or exchange a few words, it would be enough to boast to friends and family for quite some time.

Chen Peng and Ella’s eyes were also lit with excitement and hope. Dealing with Su Zheng could wait; meeting the VIP up close was a once-in-a-lifetime chance!

The entire staff of the dealership sprang into action, arranging a festive, grand atmosphere under Manager Li’s direction.

Su Zheng and Chen Muxue were escorted to a secluded room in a corner, watched over by two security guards.

“You were too impulsive—you shouldn’t have acted. Now, even if you were justified, you’re not. We have to pay fifty thousand. Where am I supposed to get that?”

Chen Muxue’s face was bitter and cold as she reproached Su Zheng.

“I’ve been notified that starting this month, the family won’t pay me anymore. We already have no income, and now we need to shell out fifty thousand. Next month, we’ll be living on air!”

Helplessly, she rubbed her smooth forehead, frustration written across her face.

Su Zheng glanced down at his phone and tried to reassure her, “Don’t worry, we won’t have to pay fifty thousand. Someone will come soon to help us settle this.”

“Who? Qiao Lan?”

Chen Muxue looked up, anger flashing in her eyes. “I don’t want her help! Don’t you think she’s fake? If she hadn’t given us the wrong address, none of this would’ve happened!”

Su Zheng felt his own irritation rising, unsure what Qiao Lan was up to, and where she had taken Chen Muxue’s car.

He sent Qiao Lan another message, urging her to hurry over and explain.

Just as he finished, two figures appeared at the door.

Chen Peng and his girlfriend Ella had come back.

“Well, look at you, pretty leisurely, aren’t you? Su Zheng, I’m telling you, after the store’s VIP leaves, I’ll make you kneel and apologize in front of everyone. Hmph! Then I’ll slap you good and hard, and we’ll discuss my compensation at length!”

Chen Peng stared at Su Zheng with malicious intent, itching to exact revenge immediately, but recalling Su Zheng’s odd strength, he forced himself to wait for a chance to humiliate him properly.

“You won’t get the chance—not now, and never!”

Su Zheng glared back coldly, his aura unyielding.

“Su Zheng! Can’t you say less? Are you stupid? Do you have to make me furious? Hurry up and apologize to Peng, beg his forgiveness!”

Chen Muxue, exasperated, felt Su Zheng’s attitude would only provoke Chen Peng further—soon, fifty thousand might not cover the damages.

“Hahaha... Forgive him? That depends on whether he can satisfy me!”

Chen Peng grinned triumphantly, the swelling on his face doing nothing to dull his anticipation. He could already picture Su Zheng kneeling for mercy, beaten ruthlessly, and his laugh was cruel and wild.

“Peng, I think both of them need to kneel and kowtow to apologize—that would show real sincerity!”

Ella chimed in, her smile venomous.

Su Zheng's expression grew chillier, about to retort, when a shout came from outside: “The director’s car has arrived!”

Chen Peng and Ella rushed out, not wanting to linger another moment.

A luxury business car pulled up at the entrance. A balding, middle-aged man stepped out first, then personally opened the door to welcome another.

It was Li Yanjun of the Li family, arriving in person.

Upon hearing from Qiao Lan that Su Zheng might come to collect the car today, Li Yanjun had immediately dropped everything to come himself, intent on showing Su Zheng the Li family’s respect.

After stepping out, Li Yanjun surveyed the store’s arrangements, his brow furrowing.

Manager Li caught the gesture and his heart stuttered.

It was over!

It seemed President Li was not satisfied with his preparations!
