Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 426 - 340 Gracious Invitation

Zhu Zheng’s face turned very grim.

Originally, he wanted to use this opportunity to befriend Li Jing, but instead, it turned into such a mess. Not only did he lose face, but he might also miss the chance to get acquainted with Li Jing.

He quickly pondered for a moment, glanced at Chen Ziteng, who had remained silent, and said, "Young Master Chen, how do you think we should handle this matter?

I believe President Li is a reasonable person, and since the truth has now come to light, we should clearly distinguish between right and wrong."

By asking Chen Ziteng, he was both giving Chen Ziteng some face and probing the other party’s true intentions to decide what to do next.

Chen Ziteng understood that Zhu Zheng was subtly hinting for him not to go against Li Jing.

And from Zhu Zheng’s performance, he also roughly guessed that Li Jing wasn’t someone easy to provoke.

His expression changed several times before he finally said in a low voice, "I have no opinion, I’ll follow your lead, Boss Zhu."

Zhu Zheng heard this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Chen Ziteng doesn’t plan to pursue this matter further. If Chen Ziteng insisted on opposing Li Jing, it would indeed be difficult to resolve.

Now it seems, Chen Ziteng’s cautious nature is an advantage at this moment.

Immediately, he turned to Li Jing, showing an apologetic smile, clearly more gentle and friendly than when facing Chen Ziteng and others.

He apologized, "President Li, I really didn’t expect this would happen.

As the president of the New Media Practitioners Association, it’s also my responsibility to manage the behavior of our members, especially since this incident happened on the cruise I booked.

Little Fox and Zhou Yingying are also members of our association. This time, I didn’t handle it well. I invited Young Master Chen onto the boat, and he probably wasn’t aware of this matter, being misled by people with ulterior motives."

He specifically explained on behalf of Chen Ziteng before continuing, "President Li, how do you suggest we handle this? We’re all ears."

Hearing Zhu Zheng lowering his stance, Brother Long and Nuannuan both felt a sense of dread, exchanging a look, realizing they’ve hit a hard wall this time, feeling a hint of regret.

While Zhou Yingying was secretly surprised, she hadn’t expected Zhu Zheng to respect Li Jing so much, giving her further insight into Li Jing’s capabilities, and her respect for Li Jing grew stronger.

Little Fox glanced at Li Jing in surprise, not expecting the person in front of her to be so formidable.

Li Jing remained calm, his gaze coldly swept over Brother Long and Nuannuan, and he said indifferently, "How to handle them is your concern, I’m not interested. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

I just don’t like these two people, that’s all, and I don’t want to see them again."

As soon as he spoke, Nuannuan and Brother Long’s faces turned pale. Just as they were about to defend themselves, Zhu Zheng promptly said, "Alright! President Li, I understand what to do."

Although Li Jing didn’t say much, what Zhu Zheng needed was just Li Jing’s position.

Since the other party was still dissatisfied with Nuannuan and Long Er, Zhu Zheng decided to give a satisfactory resolution.

He then signaled his assistant, "Take these two to the second floor first, I’ll talk to them later."

Although Zhu Zheng didn’t specify how they would be punished, Li Jing knew well enough that these two wouldn’t appear before him again.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yingying was inwardly startled.

Li Jing wasn’t familiar with Zhu Zheng’s way of doing things, but she was aware that Zhu Zheng, though normally amiable and friendly, would not be lenient when someone offended him.

As for Nuannuan and Brother Long, at the very least, it would be hard for them to remain in the influencer circle of Hai City; judging by their pale faces, they were clearly aware of this.

Nuannuan still clung to a thread of hope, turning to Chen Ziteng with a final plea: "Young Master Chen..."

But Chen Ziteng had no intention of acknowledging her, simply sitting there with his head down, lost in thought.

At this moment, Zhu Zheng didn’t want the matter to escalate further, so he waved to the crowd and said, "Alright, alright, everyone disperse. It’s just some misunderstandings, no need to stay gathered here."

Once everyone gradually dispersed, he looked at Chen Ziteng and asked, "Young Master Chen, do you have any other opinions about this matter?"

Chen Ziteng was silent for a moment. This time, he lost face, and his people were dealt with by someone else; he was filled with resentment but dared not act rashly.

He raised his head, looked past Zhu Zheng, and at Li Jing, "President Li, you’ve dealt with my people, and I’ve accepted it. But your people, like Zhou Yingying, she disrespected me earlier, shouldn’t there be an explanation?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zheng felt his heart skip a beat, then sighed inwardly: Although Chen Ziteng was usually cautious, he was ultimately a pampered second-generation wealthy individual.

This time, losing face publicly, he didn’t dare demand an apology from Li Jing, but he still wanted to regain some face from people like Zhou Yingying.

However, Zhou Yingying’s face slightly changed at his words, and just as she was about to speak, Li Jing interjected ahead of her, "She did nothing wrong, why should there be an explanation for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ziteng’s eyes narrowed, and he stared intently at Li Jing.

He hadn’t expected that even after backing down, Li Jing still wouldn’t give him any face, making him clench the handle of his chair tightly as he spoke in a low, gritted voice:

"President Li, I have already given you face. Aren’t you being excessive? Zhou Yingying disrespected me earlier; shouldn’t she apologize?"
