My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 191 The Petty Man Triumphs

After the company fell on hard times, Lin Hao immediately betrayed Yang Qi.

"Miss, may I get to know you? Your beauty is absolutely stunning," Lin Hao said, looking at Zhang Meixi. He was genuinely impressed.

"I don’t know you," Zhang Meixi said with a frown. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"You don’t know me now, but you will," Lin Hao replied nonchalantly, pulling out a business card and handing it to her.

Yang Qi glanced at the card and froze.

This guy is actually from the Qifei Group, which means he’s still my subordinate. I’ve been burned by this traitor once; I absolutely won’t let it happen a second time. I’ll use this internal restructuring as an excuse to kick him out. He probably used to work for the Zhang Group or the Qin Group. Now that the three companies have merged, he’s naturally become part of the Qifei Group.

"Miss, you’ve probably been deceived by this guy. His company went bankrupt, so now he’s just an unemployed bum," Lin Hao said to Zhang Meixi. "To think he actually made me his driver back in the day. I ended up becoming a key employee through my own ability. That was a real slap in his face."

"Is that so?" Yang Qi said coolly. "You seem to have forgotten who took you in when you were hitting brick walls everywhere you looked for a job. Or who guided you and paid for your night school. A slap in the face? You’re right. I just hate myself for not seeing you for what you really were back then. To think I actually supported you."

"What the hell does that have to do with you? I made it because I’m capable!" Lin Hao cursed.

"Is that so? A pity that after all your running around, you still ended up as my subordinate," Yang Qi retorted sarcastically.

Lin Hao paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Yang Qi, oh, Yang Qi, are you still dreaming? I’m now a key member of the Qifei Group’s marketing department. The chairman of the Qifei Group is Ye Fei! Yes, Ye Fei used to be on good terms with you, but that might not be the case anymore. He’s the famous president of the mighty Qifei Group. And you? You’re still just an unemployed bum."

Yang Qi just smiled without saying a word, a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Damn it, what’s with that look? You’re mocking me, aren’t you?" Lin Hao snapped, deeply annoyed. "Don’t tell me you have some connection to the Qifei Group. Hahaha, do you really think you can fool people just because the ’Qi’ in Qifei is the same as in your name?"

Yang Qi smiled. "Why so nervous? You’ll find out soon enough whether I’m connected to the Qifei Group or not."

"Pretentious bastard!" Lin Hao couldn’t be bothered with Yang Qi anymore. He felt that Yang Qi was no longer worth his time, so much so that even getting revenge felt boring. The man was just too much of a loser.

"This beautiful lady," he said, turning to Zhang Meixi. "Don’t get mixed up with this liar. He started his company by stealing someone else’s patent. When he got sued, he went bankrupt immediately. Even his wife left him for another man. If he’s following you around now, he’s just after something. You’d better think carefully and not let yourself be used by this scammer."

The pot-bellied man next to him also chimed in with a laugh, "Mr. Lin is right. Miss Zhang, you’re young, beautiful, and obviously a successful career woman, dressed head-to-toe in designer brands. You should be with a high-class man like Mr. Lin. Don’t let some con artist take advantage of the situation."

Zhang Meixi deliberately hooked her arm through Yang Qi’s and said coldly, "So what if I like him? Is it any of your business? I’d be lucky if he decided to con me. Too bad I’m not even worthy of him."

"Bitch!" Lin Hao said, enraged. "Are you incapable of understanding good advice? Getting involved with a man like that... you’ll regret it one day!"

"Even if I do regret it, it’ll be my choice!" Zhang Meixi declared, walking away with her arm still linked through Yang Qi’s.

Lin Hao was so angry he cursed up a storm. "That Yang Qi isn’t even that handsome. How is he so popular with women?" he fumed.

The fatty next to him goaded, "Mr. Lin, a beautiful woman like that was just tricked by a scammer. Can you really let that stand? If you like her, you have to be proactive. Ruin that punk’s reputation!"

"Heh, you’re right," Lin Hao said, a venomous look in his eyes as he watched Yang Qi’s retreating figure. "I couldn’t be bothered to get revenge on him because he’s such a pathetic loser. But now, I’ve changed my mind. I won’t let him get away. This time, I’ll make sure he suffers a major humiliation." Unfortunately, the idiot had no idea he was just digging his own grave deeper.

「In the following days」

The buzz around the Qifei Group’s inaugural conference continued to build. Many media outlets reported on it, with some even calling it the biggest competitor the Kang City Business Alliance had ever faced.

Yang Qi delegated everything to Ye Fei and continued his Cultivation. Even though his daily progress was small, it was still progress. After all, in an era where Spiritual Energy was scarce, making any progress at all was difficult. You couldn’t ask for too much. Fortunately, Cultivators are far more formidable than Martial Artists, which fills Yang Qi with hope for the future.

The day before the inaugural conference began, Yang Qi received a call from an unknown number. He wasn’t going to answer, but the person kept calling insistently. When he finally picked up, he was surprised to hear Lin Hao’s voice.

"Brother Yang, I was wrong the other day," Lin Hao said. "To thank you for nurturing my career, I’d like to treat you to dinner. A lot of people will be there—all former employees from our old company. Everyone’s doing pretty well for themselves now, so they all want to thank you. You have to come!"

Yang Qi sneered inwardly. This is undoubtedly a trap. But I was just wondering how I could find a reason to fire these people. Now this is perfect. They’re all gathering in one place, giving me the perfect opportunity. Publicly humiliating the company’s boss? What better reason is there for termination?

Thinking this, he smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll be there."

"We’ll be eagerly waiting for you," Lin Hao laughed. The idiot actually agreed to come. He was incredibly pleased with himself.

「Eight o’clock that evening, in a private room at the Kang City Grand Hotel」

Over a hundred mid-to-high-level executives from the Qifei Group were gathered there for a supposed "appreciation banquet." All the humiliating party games had been prepared, every single one of them for Yang Qi. Tonight, Lin Hao intended to utterly humiliate him.

These people were all former employees from Yang Qi’s company. Since the Qifei Group absorbed the Zhang and Qin Groups, they had all moved into mid-to-high-level positions within the new company.

The highest-ranking among them was Tang Lan, now a Deputy CEO of the Qifei Group. Like Ye Fei, Tang Lan had once been one of Yang Qi’s deputy CEOs. She was a true elite and extremely capable; otherwise, Yang Qi would never have given her the position. However, the woman had a fatal flaw. She loved to practice nepotism and had even accepted numerous bribes because of it. When this was eventually discovered, Yang Qi fired her. She had held a grudge against him ever since.

But with her current status, Yang Qi, an unemployed bum, was nothing more than an ant in her eyes. As for his identity as a Cultivator, she couldn’t possibly know.
