Top-tier Unruly Master

"Hu Jin, I am what status in Qin's Group, others may not know, but you should, right? Qin Qingwu is my father. As long as you agree to follow me, I guarantee you will live a life of luxury."

At this moment, a man in a suit was swirling a wine glass in his hand while leering at Hu Jin.

This man was the representative sent by Qin's Group to negotiate with Tianyang Group in Honggang City. Qin Yang.

Speaking of this man's background, it was indeed quite extraordinary. He was the sole son of Qin Qingwu, the second master of the Yanjing Qin Family, and he served as the Deputy General Manager of Qin's Group.

Qin Yang had set his sights on Hu Jin early on, and during this business trip to Honggang City, he had used his power to directly transfer Hu Jin to accompany him.

How could Hu Jin not see Qin Yang's intentions? Therefore, since arriving in Honggang City, she had been avoiding Qin Yang all along.

A few days ago, Hu Jin and Lin Yanxi went to the West Mountain Resort, and they even stayed there for two days. Qin Yang was anxious about not finding Hu Jin these past two days, but what he didn't expect was that Hu Jin would appear at the welcome banquet for Lin Beijiang.

At this moment, Qin Yang had been holding back for several days, and he did not want to wait any longer. He simply walked up to Hu Jin and laid it all out.

In Qin Yang's view, as the Deputy General Manager of Qin's Group and a direct descendant of the Qin family, one of the Four Great Families of Huaxia, wanting to take Hu Jin under his wing was undoubtedly an honor for her. He believed that once he proposed, she would definitely feel immensely honored and throw herself into his arms.

However, to Qin Yang's utter surprise, after hearing his words, Hu Jin showed no signs of compliance; instead, her face turned extremely unsightly.

"I'm sorry, Manager Qin, I'm not interested!"

Hu Jin actually refused him to his face. Qin Yang's expression immediately soured. Hu Jin was just a minor manager in the company, and she dared to refuse him.

"Hu Jin, I would advise you to appreciate what you're being offered. Being chosen by me, Qin Yang, is the fortune of several lifetimes."

"Sorry, I don't want such fortune," Hu Jin said. And with that, she ignored Qin Yang completely, looking like she was about to walk away.

Qin Yang was somewhat infuriated and immediately grabbed Hu Jin's wrist, pulling her to his side.

"Hu Jin, don't be ungrateful. Let me tell you, no woman that I, Qin Yang, have taken an interest in, has ever escaped the palm of my hand."

Qin Yang's grip on Hu Jin's wrist was inadvertently strong, causing her pain as she tried to pull away. However, Qin Yang was strong, and despite several attempts, Hu Jin couldn't break free.

"Let go, this is a public place. Are you planning to harass me here?" Hu Jin glared at Qin Yang, anger written all over her face.

Qin Yang, however, acted as if he hadn't heard her words. "Let me tell you, you have no chance of escaping from my grasp."

At this time, in the banquet hall, music filled the air, and no one noticed the struggle between Qin Yang and Hu Jin.

Qin Yang suddenly tightened his grip on Hu Jin's hand, and with a strong pull, she stumbled and nearly fell into Qin Yang's arms.

In a rush, Hu Jin braced herself against Qin Yang, preventing herself from falling into his embrace.

Qin Yang then let out a perverted laugh. "I just love the feeling of taming wild horses."

After speaking, Qin Yang geared up to apply more force.

However, at that moment, someone approached Qin Yang and lightly stroked his arm. The latter suddenly felt a numbness like an electric current flowing through him. Qin Yang hurriedly let go of Hu Jin's hand.

Once Hu Jin was free, she quickly took several steps back.

To Qin Yang, it had felt like he was in the midst of taming a wild horse and was just getting into it when he was interrupted. He turned to look at the newcomer with an unpleasant expression.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin Yang quickly recognized him.

"It's you!"

The person was none other than Ding Fan, who had just moments ago been at the banquet hall's entrance, drawing much attention.

Now, not only did Qin Yang see Ding Fan, but Hu Jin also recognized him after steadying her nerves.

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, you'll keep your distance. Don't think that just because you have the backing of the Qin family, you can show off in front of me." Qin Yang warned Ding Fan with a hostile tone.

"You better treat Hu Jin with respect..." Ding Fan said calmly.

Hu Jin was taken aback. She had not expected Ding Fan to stand up for her. Although Ding Fan had come to the rescue a few times at West Mountain, in Hu Jin's view, those were favors carried out because of Lin Yanxi's influence.

But why would he help her now when Lin Yanxi was not around?

Why would Ding Fan help Hu Jin?

Back in Dongcheng, when Zhou Ruoran was seriously injured in the hospital, it was Hu Jin who personally took care of her. For Ding Fan, this alone would not allow him to stand by idly. This act could also be considered repaying a debt of gratitude on behalf of Zhou Ruoran.

"F*ck! Kid, whether I wish to treat Hu Jin however I please is none of your business. And kid, don't blame me for not warning you, don't think that just because you have Lin Beijiang as your backer, you're impressive. Sometimes, such support might not last," Qin Yang stated arrogantly to Ding Fan.

After hearing Qin Yang's words, Ding Fan could tell from his speech that he was probably aware of the incident in the private room, where Lin Jiacheng was trying to force Lin Beijiang to hand over the company.

Still, Ding Fan didn't think that Qin Yang had much to do with the affair; he likely only heard some rumors.

This Qin Yang exuded a typical air of a playboy, and such a person was hardly competent. Although Lin Jiacheng was malicious, he was certainly not a fool. He would not partner with someone like Qin Yang for serious matters.

"Get lost!" Ding Fan said coldly, without any wish to engage in a pointless conversation with Qin Yang.

Qin Yang was taken aback as he had not expected Ding Fan to be so brazen. However, at that moment, Qin Yang didn't dare to do anything to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan's expression was solemn, his gaze determined. Such a look was something even Qin Yang dared not meet for long.

"Kid, you'd better not cry later!"

After Qin Yang said that, he turned and left.

Ding Fan, however, didn't care at all.

After a moment of contemplation, Hu Jin walked over. "Thank you," she said.

Although Hu Jin's impression of Ding Fan had never been particularly positive, this time, Ding Fan had indeed helped her out of a tough spot.

Ding Fan had no intention of engaging in further conversation with Hu Jin. "Take care of yourself..." he said.

After uttering those words, he turned and walked away, leaving Hu Jin standing there, dazed and lost in thought.

Not long after, the music in the banquet hall stopped, and the doors of the reserved room that had been tightly closed were opened.

Lin Beijiang and Lin Jiacheng emerged slowly from inside.

Seeing these two, the crowd at the scene fell into a hush.

Many had heard the rumors about today's banquet. Tianyang Group was a major conglomerate in Yahuan State, and everyone was watching to see if the Group's fortunes would change today.

At that moment, Ding Fan found an unoccupied corner to sit down in. He casually ordered a glass of fruit wine. Although he hadn't seen or heard what happened inside the private room later on, Ding Fan believed that Lin Beijiang would handle everything perfectly.

"Brother Fan..."

Lin Yanxi approached from the side.

Since arriving at Shanshui Renjia, Lin Yanxi had only been able to stand quietly and watch Ding Fan. Now that the dust had settled, she came over to Ding Fan's side.

Lin Yanxi sat down beside Ding Fan.

Once seated beside Ding Fan, she once again felt that tranquil calmness that soothed her heart...

At that time, Lin Beijiang approached the microphone that had been set up in advance and began to speak calmly.

"Today, I want to first thank the friends from all walks of life in Honggang City for welcoming this old man... I appreciate the great affection you've all shown... Besides that, I have an announcement to make.

I declare that starting from today, my nephew Lin Jiacheng will be accompanying me to America to settle down, and all of Lin Family's businesses will be handed over to my grandson Lin Zhanting to manage..."

The crowd below, after a brief pause, burst into resounding applause.

Those who could attend today's banquet were discerning people, and they all knew that Lin Beijiang had ultimately quelled the internal strife of the Lin Family...

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but remark that indeed, the older, the wiser...

"Besides this announcement, I have another to make," continued Lin Beijiang.

The crowd below silenced once more, eager to hear what else Lin Beijiang had to announce.

"Effective immediately, Mr. Ding Fan is appointed as the Honorary Deputy General Manager of Tianyang Group..."

Boom...

The crowd at the venue instantly erupted into commotion.

Tianyang Group was one of the major conglomerates in Yahuan State, a significant company. The position of a regional manager was one for which many would vie fiercely. Not to mention the position of the company's deputy general manager.

It was practically an existence just beneath one person and above tens of thousands.

Ding Fan, barely in his twenties, had suddenly been appointed as the Deputy General Manager of Tianyang Group. The people present couldn't help but begin speculating about Ding Fan's background.

Which family's scion?

Whose wealthy heir?

...

Ding Fan too was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lin Beijiang to push him into the position of deputy general manager of the company. However, Ding Fan didn't show much reaction.

Ding Fan understood that this was merely Lin Beijiang's way of expressing gratitude to him.

In truth, Ding Fan wasn't pursuing fame; he was seeking the Way of Longevity, and if Lin Beijiang truly wanted to thank him, giving him a couple of Spirit Grass would have been better than anything else.

At this moment, in a corner of the banquet, Qin Yang bowed his head, quietly sneaking out like a rat traversing a dark alley.

Qin Yang had heard that a change of power was imminent in the Qin family. He had initially wanted to witness the disappointment on Ding Fan's face when Lin Jiacheng successfully took over.

However, he hadn't anticipated that Lin Jiacheng's coup would fail, and Ding Fan would become the deputy general of Tianyang Group instead.

How swiftly things change in this world...
