Xu Chong!? It was actually Xu Chong! How could it be Xu Chong?!

Pang Hua and Qian Ping were scared out of their wits. Both recognized Xu Chong and knew he was Li Tianlong's assistant. Feiteng Film and Television Company and Tianlong Group were currently cooperating on a major film and television project, meaning Li Tianlong's will could very likely influence Feiteng's executives. With just one word from a Feiteng executive, directors like them would be swept out the door! And Xu Chong, as Li Tianlong's assistant, could greatly influence Li Tianlong's decisions. This meant they were completely at Xu Chong's mercy!

Now Xu Chong is showing such respect to this "pauper"? How can this be? Who is this kid? Could he be a member of one of the four great families of Tianhai??

Pang Hua and Qian Ping were now so full of regret their insides felt twisted. They should never have entertained lewd thoughts just because they saw a pretty girl! They hadn't expected to actually provoke a big shot they couldn't afford to offend!

At this point, explanations were useless. The two exchanged a glance and, by mutual understanding, lowered their heads, trying to sneak away quietly.

"Stop right there!" Qin Heng suddenly spoke, his voice indifferent. "Weren't you just saying you had a project to discuss with me? It's not good to leave without saying goodbye."

By this time, Xu Chong had handed the bank card to Qin Heng and stood up. He naturally noticed Pang Hua and Qian Ping, and his expression changed slightly.

Xu Chong was no fool; he could tell from Qin Heng's unfriendly tone that something was amiss. Clearly, these two have offended this Martial Arts Grandmaster. Damn, they're courting death! If they want to die, they shouldn't drag Tianlong Group down with them!

He was well aware of the cooperative project between Tianlong Group and Feiteng Film and Television; too many mutual interests were involved, and their fortunes were intertwined. If Feiteng were to be taken down by this Young Master Qin, then Tianlong Group would also inevitably suffer significantly.

But that's not even the most critical issue! The main thing is that this man is a Martial Arts Grandmaster! If he gets the impression that we're clueless about the situation, then it's all over for us!

"Director Pang, Director Qian, you're here too." Xu Chong, fearing for his own life, had no choice but to step forward. He asked Qin Heng, "Young Master Qin, I know these two. May I ask what they did just now?"

"Nothing much," Qin Heng glanced at Qu Linglong beside him and said to Xu Chong. "They offered me one million yuan to leave this place forever and never see my female companion again. They claimed they would make her a star and bring her great fame."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Xu Chong's expression instantly changed. His eyes widened as he glared furiously at Pang Hua and Qian Ping, bellowing, "You have some nerve! Do you even know who Young Master Qin is? You've committed a heinous crime! I will notify Chairman Li immediately. He will contact your Feiteng executives and demand your dismissal to avoid impacting our upcoming collaboration."

At his words, the surrounding crowd was stunned, looking at Xu Chong in amazement.

"Holy crap, who is this guy? How is he so powerful? He's talking about firing Feiteng directors—positions with annual salaries over five hundred thousand—just like that!"

"The most powerful one is Young Master Qin, okay? Even the man who can order Feiteng to fire directors at the drop of a hat kneels before Young Master Qin! *He's* the true scion of a powerful family!"

"This is too much! I just don't understand the world of the rich! Sigh, why am I so poor?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Hiding behind Qin Heng, Qu Linglong was completely stunned. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on him, her mind filled with curiosity. Who is he? What kind of status does he have?

Pang Hua and Qian Ping, however, turned ashen. With a THUD, they knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly and crying out, "Director Xu, Master Xu, we were wrong! We'll never dare to do it again! Please, spare us!"

"Begging me is useless. You should be begging Young Master Qin," Xu Chong said, his expression cold.

"Young Master Qin?" Pang Hua and Qian Ping were stunned. They immediately turned, knelt, and kowtowed to Qin Heng, crying out, "Young Master Qin! We had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! Please, be magnanimous and don't lower yourself to our level!"

A director at Feiteng Film and Television Company didn't just enjoy a high annual salary, generous bonuses, and excellent benefits; they could also use their power to take advantage of aspiring actresses. It was practically an Immortal's life! Being fired meant saying goodbye to all of that—a fate Pang Hua and Qian Ping absolutely could not accept.

"You want me to spare you?" Qin Heng said indifferently. "Although you didn't know my identity, ignorance isn't always an excuse for innocence. Each of you will compensate Linglong with three million yuan for emotional distress, and then submit your resignation letters to Feiteng."

Upon hearing this, Pang Hua and Qian Ping's faces turned white. They could stomach the three million yuan compensation, but submitting resignation letters was something they absolutely could not accept.

"What an imposing aura!" Suddenly, a voice dripping with sarcasm rang out. A handsome young man dressed entirely in white—shirt, pants, and shoes—with white-dyed hair, strolled over.

He tilted his head slightly, squinting with disdain at Qin Heng, and sneered, "And who do you think you are? You think you can just fire Feiteng employees?"

"Junior Director! Junior Director!!" Upon seeing the young man, Pang Hua and Qian Ping's eyes lit up. They scrambled towards him, overjoyed, shouting, "Junior Director! You have to save us! We've been loyal to Feiteng and made significant contributions! We don't want to resign!"

The dread in their hearts eased. After all, they had regularly "offered" many attractive women to this Junior Director.

When Xu Chong saw the young man, his expression also changed. He leaned in and whispered to Qin Heng, "Young Master Qin, that's Feng Yuan, the only son of Feng Fei, the CEO of Feiteng Film and Television Group. He's arrogant, unreasonable, and never plays fair."

Feng Yuan ignored Pang Hua and Qian Ping. His ears twitched; he had clearly heard Xu Chong's words. Turning his head, he scoffed, "Xu Chong! You, Li Tianlong's dog, dare to be so insolent? If it weren't for your master's sake, I'd beat you to death right now! You piece of trash!"

Xu Chong's face turned ashen upon hearing this. His fists clenched so tightly they nearly trembled, and he almost lunged forward. However, he wasn't purely a Martial Artist; he had a family and responsibilities, so he didn't dare act recklessly.

"Hahaha! Useless!" Feng Yuan laughed, mocking Xu Chong with immense arrogance. Then, his gaze shifted to Qu Linglong, his eyes lighting up as he grinned. "This girl's not bad. I like her!"

He then raised his hand, pointing at Qin Heng's nose. "You little brat, this has nothing to do with you. Scram now, or you won't be able to handle the consequences—AHHH!!"

Feng Yuan suddenly screamed, a sound filled with excruciating agony. Qin Heng had grabbed his pointing finger and bent it gently, sending tremors through Feng Yuan's entire body, as if his bones were about to shatter.

THUD!

Feng Yuan collapsed to his knees, his face contorted in pain, cold sweat pouring down. He roared, "AHH! You dare to hit me?! Are you trying to die?! Do you know who I am?!"

BANG!

Qin Heng kicked Feng Yuan, sending him flying. He crashed into a lamppost more than ten meters away with a sickening CRUNCH, then slumped to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He curled up, trembling in agony, but gritted his teeth and snarled, "Kid! You're finished! You're dead meat!"

Everyone around was dumbfounded, staring at Qin Heng in disbelief, shocked by his ruthless actions.

Pang Hua and Qian Ping, however, were ecstatic. This kid is done for! After beating Feng Yuan like this, he's definitely finished!

However, just then, Qin Heng took out his phone and made a call. Using a tone one might reserve for a Servant, he said sternly, "Feng Fei! Your son is in Tianhai, correct? He just told me I'm dead meat, that he's going to kill me. Am I to understand this is also your intention?"

The elation on Pang Hua and Qian Ping's faces froze instantly. They stared at Qin Heng in utter disbelief, horrified.

Even Feng Yuan, still lying on the ground trying to talk tough, was stunned. He momentarily forgot his pain, gaping at Qin Heng as if he had seen a ghost.
