While waiting for Tantai Yue in the lobby, Qin Xuan spotted a familiar face.
The person also happened to see Qin Xuan, and their eyes met.
Qin Xuan had only met this person once, yet he felt he knew him quite well.
This was the same suitor of Wang Yuyan that Qin Xuan had encountered when he first came looking for her.
Furthermore, when Qin Xuan had helped Wang Yuyan with the蛊 (gu) curse in the dream during his trip to Dongyong City, the person in the dream was precisely this Tang Ze.
In other words, it was Tang Ze who had placed the 蛊 (gu) on Wang Yuyan.
Although Tang Ze was unaware that the person in the dream was Qin Xuan, he had suffered a significant humiliation at Qin Xuan's hands during his previous visit to Wang Yuyan.
When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred.
Tang Ze walked up to Qin Xuan, a look of disdain on his face, and said,
"Kid, here to see Yuyan again?"
Qin Xuan glanced at him indifferently.
"What business is it of yours?"
This man had malicious intentions and dealings with the Miao Gu tribe. His lifespan was bound to be short, and Qin Xuan didn't want to waste his breath on him.
Qin Xuan had learned about the Miao Gu tribe from the memories within the Dragon Pill.
It was an ancient clan.
Although only a small fraction remained, they were not to be underestimated.
From childhood, these people had a primal 蛊 (gu) worm implanted in their bodies by the tribe. They nourished the worm with their own essence and practiced a sinister secret technique that, combined with the worm, made them powerful.
However, this greatly reduced their lifespan, with many dying before the age of thirty.
Despite their power, their lives were short, leading to the gradual decline of the Miao Gu tribe.
Later, to extend the lives of their tribesmen, a Miao shaman created an evil secret art that drained the vital essence of others to enhance their own life force.
Over time, because the Miao Gu tribe had harmed too many people, they were gradually ostracized and driven into the high mountains and deep forests of the continent.
Qin Xuan sensed a trace of the Miao Gu aura on Tang Ze. Coupled with the previous incident of placing the 蛊 (gu) on Wang Yuyan, Qin Xuan could largely deduce that Tang Ze had significant ties with the Miao Gu people.
Moreover, judging by his complexion, he had likely had a considerable amount of his vital essence drained by the Miao Gu tribe, though he himself hadn't realized it yet.
Tang Ze's temper flared at Qin Xuan's demeanor, and he barked,
"Kid, someone of Yuyan's status is beyond your reach. Be sensible and get lost early, or I fear you won't know how many strokes your death has."
Qin Xuan ignored him and sneered,
"I don't know when I'll die, but I know you won't be far from it."
"You!" Hearing Qin Xuan curse him, Tang Ze clenched his fists in anger. If he hadn't come without bodyguards, he would have had Qin Xuan's legs broken and been thrown out of the building by now.
"Kid, do you know who I am? Tang Ze! The young master of the Tang Corporation! Believe it or not, one phone call from me can make you unable to stay in Jiangbei!"
"You're not the first person to say that to me, and yet I'm still sitting here perfectly fine?"
The last person who said that was already reporting to the King of Hell.
"Good! Kid! Good!" Tang Ze gritted his teeth in fury,
"Kid, you're lucky today. Just you wait, you'll regret this."
Qin Xuan shrugged and spread his hands, saying,
"Yes, I'm waiting. If you truly have the ability, then kill me and throw me into the Jiangbei River."
Just as Tang Ze was about to curse him loudly, the elevator doors opened, and two women in matching professional OL attire walked out side-by-side.
It was Wang Yuyan and Tantai Yue, followed by a woman with an icy expression, the cold and elegant secretary, Leng Xi.
The three saw Qin Xuan and walked directly towards him.
Tang Ze, who was about to explode, was stunned for a moment upon seeing these three stunning beauties.
Who was the woman beside Wang Yuyan? Besides Wang Yuyan herself, the Wang Corporation actually had such an exquisite woman.
And the woman following behind, judging by her attire, looked like a secretary. When did Wang Yuyan get such a beautiful female secretary? He had never seen her before.
Tang Ze quickly adjusted his posture and waved to Wang Yuyan with a smile, saying,
"Yuyan..."
The three women seemed to completely ignore Tang Ze and brushed past him.
Tang Ze was so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Did they not see him? Yes, it must be that.
Tang Ze kept comforting himself.
Then he watched as the three walked up to Qin Xuan, and the woman whose beauty surpassed Wang Yuyan by several degrees directly stepped forward with a smile, linked her arm through Qin Xuan's, and called out sweetly,
"Let's go, husband, we're home."
Qin Xuan glanced sideways at Tang Ze, and under his disbelieving gaze, he squeezed Tantai Yue's pretty cheek.
"Let's go, wife. You're nine minutes late getting off work today, making yourself so tired."
"Oh, no," Tantai Yue replied with a hint of a pout.
"It's just that I'm newly appointed, and the workload is a bit heavy. If I don't finish it today, I'll have to continue tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan looked at Wang Yuyan with a hint of reproach and said in a blaming tone,
"I told you to give my wife less work to do, why did you assign so much?"
Wang Yuyan looked innocent and wronged, saying,
"Brother, you can't blame me for this. I've already taken good care of Yue'er."
Tantai Yue quickly explained,
"Qin Xuan, don't blame Yuyan. I chose to do it myself. I'm newly appointed, and I need to achieve something, so I worked a few extra minutes."
Qin Xuan said with some heartache,
"Don't do this anymore in the future. You must get off work on time, you hear me? Otherwise, I won't let you be president anymore."
Tantai Yue nodded obediently.
"Mm-hmm, I'll listen to you."
Wang Yuyan, standing beside them, couldn't stand it anymore and shook her head helplessly. It felt like she was just a clown.
"Can you two stop showing off? The dogs are almost all dead. It's my bad luck to be involved with you two. I'll treat you both to dinner tonight. Let's go, compensate your wife who worked overtime for eight minutes."
The four of them walked towards the entrance in a grand fashion.
As they passed by Tang Ze, Qin Xuan deliberately pulled Tantai Yue closer into his embrace, as if showing off.
Tang Ze watched, dumbfounded.
This... the hell... how... impossible!
This beautiful woman was the newly appointed female president of the Wang Corporation!
Tang Ze could not believe what he was seeing.
And this president was that kid's woman!
That kid looked so shabby, dressed in cheap clothes, how could he possibly have such a beautiful woman!
Even Wang Yuyan was fawning over him, and there was a female secretary of similar caliber!
Why didn't he, the young master of the esteemed Tang Corporation, receive such good treatment?
Watching the backs of the group as they walked away, Tang Ze clenched his fists fiercely.
"These three women, I must have them! Kid, just you wait! You'll be crying!" Tang Ze said through gritted teeth, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
