Wang Qing argued, saying, "Dad, what reason do you have to make me kneel?"
Without saying anything, Wang Qing's father kicked her knee. "If I ask you to kneel, then kneel. Cut the crap!" He did not hold back with his kick. Wang Qing knelt on the ground with a plop. Her soft knees made contact with the gravel and stone floor, causing her face to frown from the pain. "Dad, are you crazy? Why are you asking me to kneel? Oh my God, my knee hurts. Help me up."
At that moment, a melodious male voice sounded from behind Mr. Wang. "President Wang, it looks like your daughter doesn't want to kneel."
Wang Qing raised her head and met Gu Zheng's handsome peach blossom eyes. She was stunned for a moment. She had never seen such a good-looking man. His face looked like it had been carefully sculpted and was a work of art. It made her wonder if he really existed in this world.
"No, it's nothing like that."
Mr. Wang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He had suddenly received a call just now. He was told that all of his company's partnerships had been terminated and some of the investors had also withdrawn their investments. A good company like his was facing bankruptcy in the blink of an eye. He finally managed to ask a friend for the reason, but the friend stammered and explained that he had offended someone from the Gu family.
There was no one else but the head of the Gu family who could make his friend not even dare to say his name!
However, how did he provoke the head of the Gu family? Their family and the Gu family did not have anything to do with each other! However, regardless of the reason, he spent a lot of effort to find Gu Zheng in order to save his own company. Then, he knelt down and begged for mercy without hesitation, hoping that Gu Zheng would let him off.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng did not even look at him. It was his special assistant who kindly reminded him, "President Wang, you'd better go to Li City University to see your daughter. She's much bolder than you, President Wang."
Mr. Wang gasped.
He did not expect that while he was struggling to run the company, his daughter would drag him down! At the thought of this, he hurriedly drove to Li City University, which led to what had happened earlier.
"President Gu, do you think our Wang Qing is sincere in kneeling? If you're dissatisfied with anything, feel free to tell me. I'll get her to adjust it... About my company..."
Wang Qing heard their conversation and gasped.
The reason her father made her kneel here was because of this man in front of her? Such a high and mighty man...
Gu Zheng looked at her as if she was an ant and said casually, "President Wang, have you not eaten yet?"
Mr. Wang steeled his heart and pressed Wang Qing's head down again, forcing her to kowtow in the direction of the teaching building. Amid the thumping sounds, Wang Qing cried out heartbreakingly, "Dad, I'm in so much pain. Dad! Why are you making me kowtow? What have I done wrong that you have to do this to me?!
"Shut up!" Mr. Wang was afraid that Wang Qing would say something stupid and offend Gu Zheng again. He berated fiercely, "You've offended the head of the Gu family, so you deserve to kowtow and apologize. From today onward, get the hell to the countryside and never come back!"
Wang Qing was unwilling to give in. What right did they have to do this to her?! The countryside was where that sl*t, Qiao Xi, was from. How could a rich young miss like her go there?!
...
Qiao Xi leaned against a large tree, took out her phone, and casually typed in a few codes. Not long after, a row of characters appeared on her phone screen, and the image changed to the Wang Corporation's database.
After seeing the tragic state of the Wang family's company, Qiao Xi clicked her tongue. If all their partners broke their contracts at the same time, the Wang family should be very busy now. As for Wang Qing, the culprit, she would probably have to stay in the countryside for a long time.
Gu Zheng had noticed Qiao Xi's figure a long time ago. At this moment, he looked at her indifferently. "Mrs. Gu, are you not planning to express your gratitude?"
Qiao Xi looked up. The man was half-leaning against the car door with his arms crossed. There was a nonchalant look on his handsome face.
Qiao Xi gulped and suddenly took a step forward. "Of course, I have to express my gratitude!"
Kissing him to express her gratitude would allow her to recover her taste buds. It was killing two birds with one stone! Hence, Qiao Xi walked toward him embarrassedly. "Thank you, Brother Gu Zheng, for standing up for me. I want to give you a kiss."
"Never mind."
Gu Zheng tilted his head slightly and avoided Qiao Xi's red lips. He said with a smile, "I suddenly realized that both of us have benefitted from this situation, so it can't be considered as me helping you. There's no need to thank me."
Mutual benefits? Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled.
Gu Zheng curled his lips slightly. "Mrs. Gu, you haven't forgotten... what you promised me earlier, right?"
