Qin Siyue was furious. No matter what, Yu Zhou was someone she had brought.
Even if Yang Bing disliked Yu Zhou and targeted him at this moment, it was equivalent to not giving Qin Siyue face.
If one were to speak frankly, not giving her face was not a big deal. But where was this place? It was a salon within their circle.
To publicly humiliate someone even in such a setting completely crossed Qin Siyue's bottom line.
"Sister Siyue, I just wanted to help him."
Yang Bing still had an arrogant demeanor, as if doing so was truly for Qin Siyue's own good.
He turned his head and looked at Yu Zhou disdainfully. He did not point at his nose and curse.
But his gaze made everyone present see the contempt within.
"He is your fellow townsman, and I have also had someone investigate him. He comes from an ordinary family."
"Someone like him is not qualified to enter at all. We are all from well-off families. Even if we fail in the end, it's not difficult to extricate ourselves."
"But him? If he fails, it will be an irreversible disaster!"
"I am doing this for his own good."
Yang Bing delivered a lengthy, impassioned speech, which garnered the approval of many.
After all, the circles were different. In many instances, these people looked down on those who climbed their way up from the bottom.
Even if those individuals later achieved success and became beings that they themselves had to look up to.
Some people who were unclear about the situation would still look down on them.
It was just that most people would not openly disrespect Qin Siyue in public. Even if they were outwardly polite, they would still make the effort.
It was only Yang Bing who stood out arrogantly now. Could it be out of jealousy?
Yu Zhou's eyes darted around, and he had already gained some understanding of this Yang Bing.
He simply smiled at those who were looking at him with disdain and said, "It's my own choice, why would I need others to prop me up?"
"If I truly fail, I'll just start over."
"On the other hand, Mr. Yang, you truly have too much free time to have investigated my background so thoroughly?"
Upon hearing this, many people at the scene changed color.
Despite Yang Bing not being a match for Qin Siyue, in the eyes of most people present, he still possessed considerable influence.
He would go so far as to target someone from an ordinary family and investigate their background. Did this mean that if they were to displease him in the future, he would also investigate their backgrounds?
This group of people was not as completely clean as Yu Zhou. Once investigated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Individually, no one dared to do anything to Yang Bing at this moment. However, with everyone present, their displeased expressions were quite evident.
"Investigate you, and so what if I investigated you? Can't you withstand an investigation?"
Seeing that the situation was not going his way, Yang Bing immediately began to quibble.
What a joke! If he couldn't handle someone from a small, ordinary family, how could he maintain his reputation in this circle?
"I have a clear conscience, and of course, I can withstand an investigation."
"It's just that I'm a bit curious. Logically speaking, you wouldn't have the guts to cause such a scene in a place like this! Do you not even respect Mr. Zhou?"
Yu Zhou said with a smile.
Since this fellow wanted to fall out with him, then so be it.
Qin Siyue would not stand by and do nothing about today's events. If it really escalated, he would have nothing to fear.
"You... you're slandering me..."
For a moment, Yang Bing didn't know how to respond.
Should he still argue with Yu Zhou under the guise of helping him?
If someone of his status did something like this, it would only make everyone despise him more.
As for why he lost his mind and picked a fight at this salon today, the reason was actually quite simple.
Wasn't it because someone liked Qin Siyue and, seeing Qin Siyue appear with Yu Zhou, became overcome with jealousy?
He had originally thought it would be a cakewalk. Even if Yu Zhou didn't fawn over him, he would at least immediately recognize his authority when he spoke to suppress him.
But who would have thought that Yu Zhou would show no signs of submission at all?
What a joke! For Yu Zhou, the subscription rights were the most crucial step in his comeback and the establishment of his career.
If anyone with a slight intention could obtain them by exerting pressure, what business would he be in? Wouldn't it be better to go home and hug his children and wife? Such a matter was non-negotiable, even if the King of Heaven descended.
"Enough! What's with all this arguing?"
"Yang Bing, how come I never realized before that you were such a warm-hearted person?"
"But since you want to help people, why don't you help me out too? I happen to have one hundred sets of subscription rights. How about you take them all?"
Finally, Qin Siyue, who had long wanted to quell the disturbance, spoke.
At the same time, Young Master Zhou from upstairs appeared before everyone. His non-intervention was already a clear indication of his stance.
"I!"
Yang Bing almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was merely pushed out to gauge Qin Siyue's reaction for some resources.
Now, the person who had instigated him remained silent, while he himself had incurred Qin Siyue's wrath. He had plummeted from the clouds to the bottom, his face filled with unwillingness.
Could he not afford the funds for one hundred sets of subscription rights? Not necessarily. If he went all out to gather them, raising the funds for one hundred sets of subscription rights would not be too difficult.
But would he dare to "support" Qin Siyue?
Of course not. Yang Bing knew very well that Qin Siyue did not have one hundred sets of subscription rights in her hand.
But once he agreed to this matter, Qin Siyue would definitely acquire over a hundred sets within a few days and hand them over to him.
At that time, whether the subscription rights made money or lost money, he would be doomed.
Young Master Zhou had always wanted to bring Qin Siyue into the game. Yet, you directly kicked her out. It would be inevitable for Yang Bing's family and Qin Siyue's backers to become mortal enemies.
Even Young Master Zhou would act against him. At that time, no matter how much money he earned, what would be the use?
After all, he was different from Yu Zhou. Yu Zhou, having nothing to lose, was not part of this circle.
The losses incurred from offending them would not be too great. But him?
At that time, the losses would not be limited to just him alone.
"Alright! Siyue, you don't need to be relentless. We are all friends."
"My salon still needs to continue."
Seeing Yang Bing bow his head in submission, Zhou Zicong finally raised his hand and ended the confrontation.
