CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 34: TEACHING A LESSON TO THE SON

This morning, the old man called, saying his chest felt tight, and he couldn’t breathe. Zhang Qishan had already sent people to look for Yang Chen, but since Ningchuan is so large, there was no news by evening.

Now, hearing news about Yang Chen from Wei Qingdong, Zhang Qishan was very excited.

However, he noticed that his troublesome son seemed to have made advances on Wei Xueqing and even brought people to beat up Yang Chen. Now, they’re here to hold him accountable?

From what Wei Qingzhong said, it seemed today’s actions were quite excessive?

"Old Wei, tell me the whole story. If it’s really my kid’s fault, watch me break his legs!" Zhang Qishan said in a deep voice.

...

After listening to Wei Qingzhong, Zhang Qishan’s face was so grim it looked like it could drip water.

He immediately said to Wei Qingzhong, "Old Wei, will Xueqing and Yang Chen be at the company tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Good! Tomorrow morning, I’ll personally take my useless son to apologize to them!" Zhang Qishan said deeply.

Wei Qingzhong’s eyes widened, blinking in disbelief.

"What did you say?" he confirmed incredulously.

"I said, tomorrow morning, I’ll take Zhang Shaoting to apologize to Xueqing and Yang Chen. I’ll personally take him, and if he refuses to admit his mistake, watch me break his legs!" Zhang Qishan’s tone was laced with anger.

Wei Qingzhong sensed something amiss and quickly said, "Old Zhang, there’s no need to make a big deal out of a child’s mistake. Although Shaoting was a bit out of line this time, he’s just a kid. Just warn him not to bother Xueqing or to find people to deal with Yang Chen in the future."

"No!" Zhang Qishan firmly rejected, "He must apologize in person. That’s final, Old Wei. The more we indulge children, the more we’re harming them!"

Wei Qingzhong had nothing to say, so he could only agree and hung up the phone.

In Zhang Qishan’s manor.

After hanging up the phone, he grabbed the vase on the table and smashed it hard on the ground.

With a loud crash, the servants trembled all over, keeping their heads down, not daring to look at Zhang Qishan.

"Go call Zhang Shaoting for me!" Zhang Qishan roared.

The servant didn’t dare to delay and hurried upstairs to call Zhang Shaoting.

Quickly, Zhang Shaoting came down from upstairs with a nonchalant attitude, asking halfway down the stairs, "What’s up, Dad? I was just playing PUBG!"

"PUBG, PUBG!" Zhang Qishan, red-faced with anger, pointed at Zhang Shaoting, "What’s so fun about that game? All you know is playing PUBG. How much money have you spent on games? Wasteful!"

Zhang Shaoting muttered, "You earn so much money, if I don’t spend it, who will? My sister’s abroad and can’t spend your money."

"You, you, you!" Zhang Qishan trembled with anger, scolding, "Kneel down for me!"

"What for!" Zhang Shaoting rebelliously said, "In this day and age, you still want me to kneel? Can’t you save me some dignity?"

Zhang Qishan laughed angrily, "Dignity? I give you dignity now, and tomorrow you’ll be on your knees begging for forgiveness! Kneel down!"

"No!"

Zhang Qishan glared with tiger eyes, lifted his foot, and kicked Zhang Shaoting in the small of his back, sending him flying onto the nearby leather single sofa. With great force, it flipped both him and the sofa entirely!

Hearing the commotion, Mrs. Zhang arrived just in time to see Zhang Qishan kick Zhang Shaoting flying, startling her into a scream.

"Zhang Qishan! What are you doing, trying to kill our son?" Mrs. Zhang cried as she hurried over to help Zhang Shaoting.

Zhang Shaoting lay on the floor, whining and unable to get up, clearly beaten quite badly.

"I’m just going to beat him to death to prevent him from causing trouble for me!" Zhang Qishan fumed. "Do you know what Wei Qingzhong told me? That if anyone harms Wei Xueqing, he’d use the entire Shangdong Group, even if it means mutual destruction, to seek justice! You know Old Wei, what it means if he says such things!"

Mrs. Zhang’s face changed at these words, supporting Zhang Shaoting while saying, "Old Wei only has his daughter, Wei Xueqing, pampering her dearly since her mother passed away early. She’s obviously his precious gem, so if someone harms Wei Xueqing, it’s like touching his lifeline. What did Shaoting do to her?"

Liu Jin, being able to marry Zhang Qishan, was naturally a smart woman and had learned many things over the years, guessing what had happened instantly.

"Let him say it himself!" Zhang Qishan pointed angrily at Zhang Shaoting.

"Son, are you okay?" Liu Jin asked worriedly, looking at Zhang Shaoting.

Zhang Shaoting shook his head, his eyes filled with fear, avoiding Zhang Qishan’s gaze.

"What, are you afraid now? Tell me exactly what you did to make Old Wei say such things! Don’t you know his character? He’s always been a man of his word. I really don’t know what’s inside your head!" Zhang Qishan angrily said.

Liu Jin urged Zhang Shaoting, "Son, quickly tell your father what happened. There’s still time to fix this."

Although feeling wronged, Zhang Shaoting dared not hide the truth. He knew the power of Shangdong Group, which, despite significant losses in recent years, still had a formidable foundation built over time.

He recounted the incident of encountering Wei Xueqing and Yang Chen at Zhangkou Hotel, saying he couldn’t help but confess his feelings to Wei Xueqing, only to be beaten by Yang Chen.

Zhang Qishan asked, "Was that Yang Chen wearing faded blue jeans, an old T-shirt, and white Converse shoes?"

Zhang Shaoting shook his head directly, "No, he was wearing CK."

"CK?" Zhang Qishan frowned, saying, "Describe his appearance to me."

Zhang Shaoting recalled, "What struck me most were his eyes, phoenix eyes, very deep and sharp like a knife. His gaze was icy, like looking at a dead person... Tanned skin, lean but strong, so powerful he could lift me with one hand!"

Zhang Qishan nodded and then said, "So you went to Qiming Mansion to ambush them?"

Zhang Shaoting lowered his head, "Yes..."

"Idiot!" Zhang Qishan scolded, "Can’t you think a little? How could you do such a thing? Your actions represent our Zhang Group. Wei Xueqing is the Executive President of Shangdong Group. Didn’t you think it through doing such things?"

Zhang Shaoting still wanted to argue, "That Yang Chen dared to hit me. I just wanted to teach him a lesson..."

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed in the room.

Liu Jin was stunned.

Zhang Shaoting covered his face, looking at Zhang Qishan in disbelief.

He never expected Zhang Qishan would slap him!

Zhang Qishan angrily pointed at Zhang Shaoting, "You can’t afford to offend that Yang Chen. If it weren’t for today... you wouldn’t even know how you died!"

Thinking of the information he’d gathered through some connections, Zhang Qishan couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
