Yu Kaihe held some influence within the Heilong Chamber of Commerce, and his sudden attack made the operations of the Qiao Group difficult.

Qiao Qiumeng hadn't expected that her act of hitting Yu Kaihe would trigger such a huge chain reaction, even causing her uncle to come and confront her directly...

Qiao Guodong's daughter, Qiao Qingyu, was full of disdain as she said, "If Qiao Qiumeng can't handle this, she should quickly step down from the CEO position!"

Pang Xiuyun couldn't help but get anxious, angrily saying, "Who says Qiumeng can't handle it? Since what happened yesterday has already occurred, we'll naturally resolve it without dragging the company down!"

Qiao Qiumeng pressed her lips together and nodded, saying nothing, but her eyes were filled with determination.

"Handle it? Now that Yu Kaihe is furious, the entire Heilong Chamber of Commerce will target our Qiao Group, and the bank loans won't come through. Let her solve that," Qiao Qingyu sneered.

"Moreover, I heard, Uncle, that you even rejected the marriage alliance with Zhang Real Estate, marrying Qiao Qiumeng off to a useless prison guard?"

"Hahaha... Is it because you have no sons that you brought in a son-in-law?"

Pang Xiuyun immediately looked at Qiao Guotao with a face full of grievance. If he hadn't been so stubborn, how could their family be ridiculed like this?

Qiao Guodong impatiently waved his hand and said, "Three days, I'll give you three days to handle this!"

"Within three days, if Qiao Qiumeng can't obtain forgiveness from the Heilong Chamber of Commerce, recover the debts, and settle the bank issues, then my daughter Qiao Qingyu will replace her."

"If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment!"

Qiao Qiumeng's offense against Yu Kaihe gave Qiao Guodong's side an opportunity to make trouble.

Qiao Qiumeng took a deep breath, thought of Zhang Shaojie, who had vouched for her earlier, and nodded slightly, saying, "I'll handle it!"

Qiao Qingyu couldn't help but mock, "You'll handle it? How?"

"If you had married Young Master Zhang from Zhang Real Estate, that would be one thing, but you married a small prison guard. Are you going to have your husband arrest everyone from the Heilong Chamber of Commerce?"

"Hehehe, what a joke! I think you should step down and let someone more capable take over."

Qiao Qiumeng's face turned dark as she coldly said, "How I handle it is none of your business. Within three days, I'll give you all an answer!"

Qiao Qingyu said indifferently, "I'll be waiting. If you can't resolve it, let's see how you'll explain it to the old man!"

After saying this, Qiao Qingyu turned to look at Qi Dengxian with disdain and contempt.

A small prison guard with no power or influence, who knows from which remote village he came from, what did Qiao Guotao see in him?

"Settling a minor boss under Zhao Niyou won't take three days," Qi Dengxian said with a calm expression.

"Zhao Niyou?!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at him in disbelief after hearing this.

"Watch your mouth! Get out, you're not welcome here! If you want to go crazy, don't drag Qiumeng down with you!" Pang Xiuyun furiously pointed at Qi Dengxian and scolded him.

Qi Dengxian just smiled and shrugged it off, picked up his coat, and left.

The events of today had already put him in a bad mood, so why stay and face more cold shoulders?

Qiao Guotao frowned, also annoyed by these matters, so he didn't try to stop Qi Dengxian.

"Guotao, your son-in-law is quite an eyesore!"

"If he spoke like this before joining our Qiao Family, I wouldn't care."

"But now that he's Qiao Qiumeng's husband, he must watch his mouth. If this gets to Chairman Zhao's ears, you know what the consequences will be!"

Qiao Guodong sternly glared at Qiao Guotao, squeezing these words out through clenched teeth.

Qiao Qiumeng was furious. This Qi Dengxian, not only was he useless, but he also had such a big mouth. Sooner or later, he'd get her into trouble!

Li Yunwan's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity. Could Qi Dengxian really be that capable?

"I should have listened to my father!"

Qi Dengxian felt a bit helpless too. He hadn't even had a meal before being kicked out of the Qiao Family by Pang Xiuyun, so he could only buy something from a street vendor.

With the food in hand, he leisurely walked into Yunding Villa.

As soon as he entered Yunding Villa, Qi Dengxian frowned because he saw Yu Xiaolong's Jeep.

However, Yu Xiaolong wasn't by the car; her assistant, Long Yanan, stood nearby.

Seeing Qi Dengxian, Long Yanan was taken aback. Could it be that Yu Xiaolong hadn't been seeing things that day, and Qi Dengxian really drove down from Yunding Palace?!

But then she noticed the food bag in Qi Dengxian's hand and couldn't help but smile knowingly, with a hint of disdain.

"This Yunding Villa isn't a place just anyone can live in. Those who can afford a house here are either billionaires or powerful figures," Long Yanan said as she approached Qi Dengxian, speaking casually.

Qi Dengxian glanced at her sideways, not even bothering to respond.

Long Yanan continued, "With your own efforts, you probably won't have a chance to live in Yunding Villa in your lifetime. The lady gave you an opportunity, and you should cherish it instead of clinging on without meaning!"

"There's no shame in delivering food; at least you're supporting yourself through your own efforts."

"This shows you're an ambitious person."

"If you're too embarrassed to ask the lady for help, you can come to me. I'm willing to assist on her behalf."

Qi Dengxian felt that both the master and servant were acting as if they were doing him a favor by speaking to him, as if they were bestowing charity.

"Do me a favor and get lost, don't delay my return home to rest," Qi Dengxian said coldly, walking straight past her.

Return home?

Long Yanan couldn't help but snicker, shaking her head in disbelief. Not only was he unambitious, but he was also a man with an excessive sense of vanity. Did he really think that delivering food to Yunding Villa made him a resident?

"Is that Qi Dengxian?" Yu Xiaolong appeared at this moment, frowning at the back view, and asked indifferently.

"Here to deliver food," Long Yanan replied with a faint smile.

"Oh..." Yu Xiaolong nodded, feeling a bit helpless. This man's stubbornness was evident; he'd rather deliver food himself than ask her for help.

But it didn't matter; they were already strangers.

How he lived had nothing to do with Yu Xiaolong.

Qi Dengxian returned unhurriedly to the Yunding Palace villa, opened the food bag, and started eating while pulling out a stack of letters from his luggage that the inmates had stuffed into his hands before he left.

He filtered out the flattering ones and those from people he didn't get along with.

"Sigh, one wrong step and a lifetime is wasted. This Old Xiang, of all things to get involved with, he chose arms! What a fool..." Qi Dengxian shook his head as he read a letter of request, feeling a bit regretful.

After eating about a third of the packed food, he received a call from Wang Wanjin.

"Second in command, Mayor Huang feels very sorry about the last incident, so he's hosting a banquet with Mr. Sun Qingxuan to apologize to you. Could you please give them some face?" Wang Wanjin said with a smile.

Qi Dengxian initially wanted to refuse, but after Wang Wanjin's persuasion, he reluctantly agreed, leaving the unfinished food to attend the banquet.
