Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Work

Qin Tianxuan picked up the teacup before him and took a gentle sip.

Chang Siming strode over with his hands on his hips. "Remember what I said? Once we’re in Shangdu, I’ll make you pay!"

Qin Tianxuan looked up coolly. "Two things. First, stop harassing Xiaxia. Second, your mouth is foul. Knock out one of your own teeth and swallow it. Consider it a light punishment from me."

What?!

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Chang Siming blinked, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life!" He laughed so hard he bent over.

The Bai Family’s relatives all began to scold him at once.

Father Bai and Mrs. Bai went even further, pointing at Qin Tianxuan and cursing him out.

Only Bai Chuxia stood firmly in front of Qin Tianxuan.

"I made a promise to a friend! You can’t treat him like this!" Tears welled in Bai Chuxia’s eyes as she mustered the courage to defy her entire family and that arrogant rich kid.

Her small frame looked so frail.

Chang Siming stopped laughing, his amusement turning to fury. "Bai Chuxia, you damn bitch! Don’t take my kindness for weakness! You think I won’t curse you out just because we’re in your house? Believe it or not, I can get you fired with a single phone call!"

He took a few steps forward and raised his hand to slap her.

"You worthless spawn! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" a roar came from behind him.

The president of Changming Group burst in frantically, wearing slippers, his hair stuck to his forehead, followed by six burly men.

Chang Siming was dumbfounded. "Dad, what are you doing here?"

Father Chang glanced at Qin Tianxuan on the sofa, and his face went pale.

Chang Siming smacked his lips. "Dad, I know Bai Chuxia is your secretary, but she’s just a secretary. Is she really worth you protecting her like this? Heh, don’t tell me you’ve got your eyes on this chick?"

He was spouting utter nonsense, and Father Chang nearly fainted from anxiety on the spot.

Chang Siming pointed at Qin Tianxuan contemptuously. "This bastard embarrassed me on the plane, and just now he told me to stop harassing Bai Chuxia. And the funniest part? He actually told me to knock out my own tooth and swallow it. Dad, no one in Shangdu is that badass. What do you think we should do?"

’What should we do?’

’You’re fucking asking me what we should do?’

Father Chang trembled all over as he raised a finger. "Hold him down!"

He was pointing at his own son!

Without a word, the burly men behind Father Chang moved forward and restrained Chang Siming.

Chang Siming was completely stupefied.

Father Chang came over, panting heavily and looking around for a weapon. Finally, he grabbed a paperweight!

A hard jade paperweight, harder than iron.

Chang Siming was scared out of his wits.

Gritting his teeth, Father Chang acted decisively, smashing the paperweight down hard.

One of Chang Siming’s teeth was shattered on the spot.

"Get some water! Here, force this worthless spawn to drink it down! He will swallow that tooth!" Father Chang roared, wiping a handful of blood from his hand.

A cup of cold water, a single tooth. Chang Siming was forced to swallow.

He had already passed out, but even then, he still didn’t understand.

Why had his doting father struck such a vicious blow?

As the president of Changming Group, Father Chang’s methods were ruthless and decisive enough!

It wasn’t that he was being cruel to his son!

In reality, he was trying to save Chang Siming’s life!

Having weathered many storms in his life, President Chang knew very well the kind of world Qin Tianxuan belonged to.

Forget Mr. Qin himself—any one of his subordinates could destroy Changming Group as easily as flipping a hand.

At that moment, Father Chang walked a few steps to the sofa and bowed ninety degrees. "Mr. Qin, I guarantee you, I will send that animal abroad immediately. He will never appear in Da Xia again!"

Having not said a single word from beginning to end, Qin Tianxuan put down his teacup.

With a faint smile, he rose gracefully. "You’re a ruthless man yourself. Let’s leave it at that. Your Changming Group can remain in Shangdu."

President Chang was soaked in sweat.

But he could finally relax.

That was the very sentence he had been hoping for!

Wiping away his sweat, Father Chang looked at the petrified Bai Family. "My apologies, everyone. I am ashamed that I failed to raise my son properly. And Xiaxia, from now on, consider Changming Group your home. I’ll promote you to Vice President immediately, with a top-tier compensation package!"

This President Chang was definitely a smart man.

Mr. Qin had personally come to the Bai Family’s home for dinner, which meant his relationship with Bai Chuxia was certainly not shallow.

Getting close to Bai Chuxia was like latching onto a towering tree!

Unfortunately, Qin Tianxuan just sneered. "Your little Changming Group... is it worthy?"

Father Chang hastily bowed again. "Unworthy, truly unworthy! We are not worthy of a talent like Xiaxia. How about this: Honorary President! A lifetime position. No matter which company Xiaxia decides to join, Changming Group will always reserve this position for her."

He was desperate to forge this connection. "I’ll give Xiaxia an annual salary of ten million! With full benefits!"

THUD. Father Bai fainted from sheer bliss.

Mrs. Bai’s eyes froze, and her hands and feet began to tremble.

Qin Tianxuan looked at Bai Chuxia. "Little sis, what do you think?"

Bai Chuxia was already dumbstruck, unable to say a word.

President Chang was practically begging. "Xiaxia, please just accept."

"Can... can I really?" Bai Chuxia finally managed to ask, her voice trembling.

Overjoyed, President Chang had a contract drawn up on the spot and only left, beaming with delight, after personally watching Bai Chuxia sign it.

Qin Tianxuan patted Bai Chuxia’s shoulder. "I overheard earlier. You want to build your career at the Lanling Commerce Association, right?"

Bai Chuxia now looked at him as if he were a Celestial God, her eyes filled with boundless adoration. "Brother Qin, who... who are you exactly? I’ve never seen the chairman so scared."

Qin Tianxuan smiled faintly and took out his phone to send a text to Li Qingcheng.

Soon after, the newly appointed head of the Lanling Commerce Association came rushing over eagerly.

The moment he entered the room, he grabbed Bai Chuxia’s hand. "What has the Lanling Commerce Association done to deserve the approval of Miss Bai? Our president said you can have your pick of any position you want!"

Another THUD. This time, it was Mrs. Bai who had fainted from happiness.

Having dealt with this small matter, Qin Tianxuan checked the time and prepared to take his leave as well.

Before he left, he smiled at Bai Chuxia. "Stay true to yourself. I like your straightforward spirit, little sis. From now on, if you have any trouble, just tell me. The world may be vast, but for now, there’s nothing I can’t do!"

With that, he departed leisurely.

Bai Chuxia stared blankly at his departing figure.

Behind her, the Bai Family relatives were all crestfallen.

Mrs. Bai and Father Bai shuffled over awkwardly. "That... that Mr. Qin... After the way we spoke to him, how could we possibly apologize?"

The two of them wanted nothing more than to slap themselves across the face.

Bai Chuxia was speechless. "So now you regret it? Don’t even think about it. A man like Brother Qin won’t care about what you did. It’s a shame, though. He had originally agreed to stay the night."

The Bai Family felt like crying but had no tears left.

They knew they had just thrown away the opportunity of a lifetime—a chance to change their entire family’s destiny!
