Chapter 9 Apology

As soon as Ning Beichuan finished speaking, a cold and chilling aura swept through the entire reception hall, enveloping everyone present. Instantly, the venue fell into silence. Everyone was horrified. They stared blankly at Ning Beichuan, whose gaze was icy cold, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Who is this person? Such a powerful presence! He stood there, like an unignorable force of nature, whether it be a cold winter wind or scorching summer sun. The executives of Yuanshan Industries, Liu Changmu, and Wu Xingguo, all froze in place, unable to move. After a while, Liu Changmu swallowed his saliva and suddenly reacted. Yuanshan Industries was under his authority! How dare someone challenge him without knowing their place? Furthermore, he was silenced by the other party's words. The room was filled with high-level executives of the company, which made him lose face. Instantly, Liu Changmu's face turned pale, and he stared at Ning Beichuan with a ferocious gaze, sneering, "You, young man, is it you?" Then he turned around and faced Chen Zitong: "Chen Zitong, I will let go of what happened yesterday." "But if you don't clean up this mess today, hmph... don't blame me for not giving you face!" Liu Changmu's face turned grim, threateningly. Clearly, he didn't take Ning Beichuan seriously. "Liu General, if I'm not mistaken, we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, so you have no authority over me." Seeing that Liu Changmu was not backing down, Chen Zitong's face turned cold. They were originally in a cooperative relationship. The other party was simply meddling in other people's business. "No authority?" Liu Changmu tapped the table with his pen, his expression mocking. He glanced at Chen Zitong with interest and sneered, "If you take my money, you have to listen to me. Even if I ask you to accompany me to bed, you have to go!" His words caused an uproar in the room. Wasn't that too insulting? The employees of Wutong Law Firm were indignant and some were angry. The planning department of Yuanshan Industries remained indifferent, as if nothing had happened. Only Wu Xingguo looked at Ning Beichuan with a hint of fear, thinking to himself: It's over, this kid is crazy, we can't provoke him! He glanced sympathetically at Liu Changmu and discreetly stepped back, distancing himself from the conflict. Upon hearing Liu Changmu's words, Chen Zitong's face turned red with anger, gritting his teeth and saying, "Shameless!" Ning Beichuan was even more furious. In an instant, he darted forward, catching everyone off guard. Pfft! Blood splattered from the long table. Everyone stood up in shock! They never expected that Ning Beichuan would actually take action as soon as he said so? Don't they know whose territory this is! Ah! Liu Changmu screamed miserably, his body curled up on the ground, wailing like a dehydrated corpse. The tabletop was covered in bright red blood. A pen pierced through Liu Changmu's palm, penetrated the guest table, and nailed it down. Sweat the size of beans dripped profusely. Liu Changmu trembled all over, roaring and howling, "Let go of me, security, security!" Slap! A slap fiercely slapped Liu Changmu's face, interrupting his words. "Apologize!" Ning Beichuan's tone was cold and unwavering. "I apologize to your mother." Liu Changmu roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot, "You bastard, you're dead, I'll definitely kill you... Ah!" Before he finished speaking. Ning Beichuan twisted the pen. Liu Changmu's entire expression twisted. A large amount of cold sweat overflowed from his forehead, almost causing him to go into shock from the pain. "Apologize." Ning Beichuan repeated again. "Young man, let it go, it's not worth it." Chen Zitong shook his head, afraid that Ning Beichuan would get into trouble. After all, this is the territory of Yuanshan Industries. If the other party refuses to back down, it's... "I can't tolerate insults against you!" Ning Beichuan said each word slowly, and then he twisted the pen again. This time, Liu Changmu learned his lesson and immediately lowered his voice, tearfully saying, "Lawyer Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As he spoke, he slapped himself while apologizing. Ning Beichuan let go of the pen and said coldly, "If there's another time, it won't just be your hand." Liu Changmu curled up on the ground, tightly clutching his hand and convulsing. "Quick, call 120!" Seeing this, Wu Xingguo immediately said. Soon, the company's medical team arrived and bandaged Liu Changmu's wound. But when they saw the crack that penetrated three centimeters on the tabletop, they were all shocked on the spot. This was a guest table made of imported high-strength marble. It was said to withstand a force of 500 kilograms. What kind of force would it take to create such a deep crack? Several members of the medical team glanced at Ning Beichuan with a hint of fear in their eyes. As expected, Liu Changmu's hand was basically useless. The ambulance hadn't arrived yet, but the delegation from Ding Sheng Group had already arrived. Everyone quickly stood up and went downstairs to welcome them. In front of the building. A circular flower bed stood tall. Creak! One car after another appeared in the flow of traffic. The leading car was a Rolls-Royce Phantom! The golden emblem on the hood was shining brightly, attracting attention! Afterwards, followed by a dozen high-end business cars, lined up in a row, they surrounded Yuan Shan Industries in a fan shape. With a loud noise. A large group of black-clad bodyguards rushed forward, like sentinels, guarding on both sides! With such a lineup, it was as domineering as the name of Ding Sheng Group, who could compare? Like a fierce beast with its fangs bared, devouring everything. Everyone took a step back, almost scared to pee. Indeed, it was Ding Sheng Group, truly wealthy and powerful! Click. The car door opened, and a large group of lawyers in professional attire stood in two rows, bowing in salute. The Rolls-Royce Phantom opened. A young man in a light blue suit stepped out, with a faint smile on his face, walking gracefully. "Hiss!" "This is Ding Sheng Group's young master, Chen Dingtian!" Everyone's faces were filled with horror, as if they had seen someone extraordinary, extremely excited. "It's actually him?" "If we talk about this young master Chen, although he may not have as much influence as the second young master, he is an absolute titan in the business world!" Whispers filled the room as people discussed amongst themselves. At that moment, Wu Xingguo hurriedly descended the stairs and, upon seeing Chen Dingtian, immediately bowed respectfully. "Young Master, please come inside!" "What about Liu Changmu? Never mind, is Lawyer Chen here?" "He's here, he's here." Wu Xingguo nodded and bowed, afraid of offending the young master. In fact, even during yesterday's negotiation, Chen Dingtian did not attend. Today's unexpected visit indicated that this negotiation seemed to have become more complicated. "Lead the way." Chen Dingtian smiled and, accompanied by his bodyguards, ascended the stairs. They reached the third floor. Inside the conference room. The representatives from both sides stood facing each other, shaking hands one by one. As a land of etiquette, regardless of whether the negotiation would ultimately succeed or not, this handshake was necessary. Chen Zitong found herself facing Chen Dingtian. But when she extended her hand, he deliberately turned away. "Apologies, I don't have the habit of shaking hands with people in the business field. If Lawyer Chen wishes, we can have a more profound exchange." Chen Dingtian smiled at Chen Zitong. His words held a double meaning. Everyone knew that Chen Dingtian had an interest in Chen Zitong, so this deliberate act was also a form of charm. Showing off his power? Chen Zitong furrowed her brows slightly, feeling slightly displeased, but she didn't say anything and sat down directly. As Chen Zitong took her seat. After the exchange of greetings, they sat facing each other. Chen Dingtian smiled. Just as he was about to sit down, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Ning Beichuan. His expression froze, and anger surged within him. He heard the other person say, "You have to shake this hand, whether you want to or not!"
