Chen Bao’s expression was grim. Li Se’s intervention was clearly meant to humiliate him. However, he found some solace in the thought that his master would soon teach this kid a harsh lesson. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Tomorrow, don't be late!"
With that, he left. However, still reeling from Li Se’s punch, he walked with a slight stagger.
Zhang Aimin, standing beside him, asked, "Se, who is this Xiang Ding Tian?"
"I don't really know," Li Se shook his head. "It doesn't matter who Xiang Ding Tian is. Let's go inside."
Once inside the company, Zhang Aimin resumed her busy work, while Li Se occupied himself with admiring her work. Her entire being exuded a mature charm.
Knock, knock, knock...
The sound of urgent knocking echoed.
The door was quickly opened, and the secretary rushed in, saying anxiously, "Ms. Zhang, something bad has happened! That President Tang from Tian Yuan Group has barged into our company with people..."
Before she could finish, Tang Wenqing entered with a group of people, bringing quite a few individuals with him.
Of course, the people he brought were not thugs. They were all dressed in suits, and included officials from the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Health Bureau… essentially, all relevant departments.
"Why are you here?" Tang Wenqing seemed surprised to see Li Se. "Weren't you supposed to be arrested already?"
Li Se smiled. "You, as a member of the Tang family, don't even know I've been released. It seems you have no status at all in the Tang family!"
"So what if you're out?" Tang Wenqing asked, a hint of anger in his voice. "Your company will be shut down today. This is the consequence of offending me!"
"Oh, isn't this Director Liu from the Ministry of Health?" Li Se scanned the group and indeed saw a familiar face.
The person from the Ministry of Health was none other than Liu Xianwei. Upon hearing the familiar voice, he froze. A closer look confirmed it was the influential figure before him. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his brow. He quickly gave a forced laugh, "Ah, it turns out to be Divine Doctor Li! I’ve heard so much about you."
"You can't shut down my medical clinic, so you've come to shut down my company instead?" Li Se asked with a cold smile.
"Oh dear, this is all a misunderstanding… a complete misunderstanding…" Liu Xianwei was drenched in sweat. "I'm just here to go through the motions. Divine Doctor Li, please don't misunderstand. You see, my wife is giving birth, so I must leave immediately."
"Director Liu, what's going on?" Many others looked bewildered.
"I advise you all, this person is not someone you can afford to offend!" Liu Xianwei said in a low voice. After saying this, he quickly departed. Whether the others chose to leave was not his concern.
Tang Wenqing's face was very displeased. He truly hadn't expected Liu Xianwei to leave so abruptly.
The officials from other departments, brought by Tang Wenqing, exchanged glances. They all knew Liu Xianwei well. If Li Se didn't have significant backing, Liu Xianwei would never have been so scared to flee, especially considering Tang Wenqing's own strong connections.
However, Tang Wenqing's status within the Tang family was not high; offending him was one thing, but Li Se’s background was an unknown quantity.
"Mr. Tang, my wife is also about to give birth, so I need to leave."
"My wife is also giving birth…"
These officials from various departments quickly found excuses and hastily departed.
At this point, only Tang Wenqing and Deputy General Manager Liu remained.
"All of you, come back here!" Deputy General Manager Liu cursed, but his words were ignored. The others had already vanished.
"Tang Wenqing, you are truly useless. You can't even keep a few minor officials here," Li Se mocked.
Tang Wenqing's face turned red. He glared at Li Se. It was too humiliating.
He had come with great fanfare, only to end up like this. He couldn't accept it.
"Li Se, no matter what capabilities you possess, as long as I am here, you will never be with my daughter. Never in your life!" Tang Wenqing roared.
Li Se acted as if he hadn't heard. He said calmly, "You only dare to shout at me. If you have the guts, go shout at Ye Bowen! A nobody is a nobody. Even if you are Xi Xi's father, I still think you're a nobody who can't even protect his own daughter!"
These words struck a raw nerve within Tang Wenqing. Just a while ago, Ye Bowen had barged into the Tang family and attempted to harm his daughter, yet he hadn't dared to utter a single word of protest.
"Get lost!" Li Se waved his hand. "When you dare to shout at Ye Bowen, then come back and say these things to me. I also hope you can be assertive when protecting Xi Xi, instead of being so timid!"
"How dare you speak to our President Tang like that?" Deputy General Manager Liu shouted.
Tang Wenqing's expression was extremely gloomy. He glanced at Li Se and said nothing more, turning to leave.
He had truly lost all face this time.
After Tang Wenqing left, Zhang Aimin couldn't help but say, "Is it appropriate to speak to your future father-in-law so directly?"
"Tang Wenqing deserves to be scolded!" Li Se already had a strong opinion of Tang Wenqing. When his daughter was being bullied, he hadn't dared to step forward. Now, he was using Ye Bowen's influence to show off. Such a person was not fit to be a father.
Of course, out of consideration for Tang Xi, Li Se naturally wouldn't resort to violence, but he wanted to verbally awaken Tang Wenqing.
Zhang Aimin shook her head and continued with her work.
Li Se continued to admire her. However, the temptation was becoming unbearable, and he finally took the initiative.
"Don't… this is the office… Oh…" Zhang Aimin tried to resist, but within a few moments, her body melted into Li Se's embrace.
Soon, a battle of office romance commenced.
Knock, knock, knock…
The sound of knocking echoed again.
However, by this time, the battle had concluded. Zhang Aimin said, "Please come in."
The female secretary pushed the door open. She noticed a strange scent. Looking at Zhang Aimin, her face was flushed. Upon closer inspection, she saw a tear in her stockings. She immediately understood what had happened. Her face also flushed. After placing the files down, she quickly fled the office.
"So embarrassing…" the female secretary murmured shyly after leaving the office. It was broad daylight, and in the office too. She thought that President Zhang was quite a wild woman.
Zhang Aimin naturally noticed the secretary's unusual behavior and shot Li Se a glance. "Can you please refrain from doing such things in the office in the future?"
Li Se smiled. "Don't you find it exciting? Sister Min, you seemed to enjoy it just now, even reciprocating. How about we continue?"
