My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 192: Reasons to Hate You!

Ordinary people and martial artists simply don’t operate on the same wavelength. Even if many ordinary people had participated in the battle at the Five Elements Tower, in their eyes, the confrontation that night was merely a performance—a special effects show. Even after witnessing it, they just treated it as entertainment.

Tang Lan was an ordinary person, so she only cared about ordinary things. She naturally had no idea how terrifying Yang Qi had become, nor did she have any interest in finding out. However, she was likely to be promoted to general manager tomorrow, so she was in a good mood. When she heard from Lin Hao that she could bully Yang Qi, she came right over, purely for fun. She wanted to trample Yang Qi underfoot and see the look on his face as he was forced to look up at her.

Apart from Tang Lan, the deputy general manager, several other high-ranking members from Qifei Group were present. They had all come over after Qifei Group acquired the Qin Group. For the time being, their positions were merely nominal, and they operated as a separate management team from Qifei Group’s original staff. For example, when Qifei Group had previously run into trouble with its orders and raw materials being restricted, a large number of employees resigned. But it had nothing to do with these people, as they were still at the Qin Group at the time. The outside world was still unaware that Qifei Group had acquired the Qin Group, so the Qin Group itself hadn’t been affected at all.

But now, things were different. Qifei Group was planning to integrate the three companies, and only one management team would be kept. Qifei Group itself didn’t have any particularly outstanding talent; besides Ye Fei, the rest were average. Therefore, in the eyes of Tang Lan and her peers, they were the most likely candidates for the new management layer. After all, Tang Lan was already a deputy general manager at the Qin Group. Lin Hao was a key member of the Qin Group’s marketing department, effectively its second-in-command, and his immediate superior, Marketing Director Jiang Lan, had also come.

Several other high-level executives were there as well, all of whom had been directly poached from Yang Qi’s original company. They were also the ones who had pushed his company into bankruptcy. Like Ye Fei and Zhang Xiaoduo, they were once key figures Yang Qi had personally cultivated, and they had been highly valued at Qifei Group as well. It’s a pity you can’t compare people. For Yang Qi’s sake, Ye Fei had endured humiliation and become a house slave. Zhang Xiaoduo’s fate was even more tragic, ending in her death.

Yet these people are living so comfortably. On what grounds? A deep displeasure welled within Yang Qi. He had come today to see if these people felt even a shred of remorse. Unfortunately, he was destined for disappointment.

In their eyes, Yang Qi’s company had limited their growth. They believed that by leaving him, they could soar to greater heights, and their current success was proof of that. But they seemed to have forgotten how Yang Qi had helped them and how he had supported and guided them. Without his assistance, how could they have ever achieved their current success? Not only were they ungrateful, but they actually felt that he had constrained them and wasted their youth. In short, these people had all come today with one goal in mind: to trample Yang Qi underfoot and prove their betrayal was justified. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Why isn’t he here yet? Don’t tell me he’s scared?" Jiang Lan sneered.

Back in Yang Qi’s company, he had treated them like family, but they saw it as a humiliation—a kind of condescending pity they didn’t want. Now, Yang Qi was an unemployed nobody. The young entrepreneur once hailed as Kang City’s greatest prodigy had fallen so low. They desperately wanted to show him how successful they had become. They wanted him to look up to them. They wanted to crush the once-exalted Yang Qi under their feet. Just thinking about it was thrilling.

"Let’s all welcome President Yang," Lin Hao’s voice suddenly called from outside, his words dripping with mockery and sarcasm.

Yang Qi walked in behind Lin Hao. Thanks to his Immortal Cultivation, his every movement possessed an extraordinary, transcendent quality. This drove the onlookers mad. He’s supposed to be a commoner now! How can his aura be even more imposing than before? It’s so oppressive we can barely breathe. He even has this air of superior mystery! They hated this feeling. They wanted to see a downtrodden, pained, wretched, and disheveled Yang Qi, not this imposing man who moved like the wind with the air of an immortal.

"What’s the matter? Don’t recognize me anymore?" Yang Qi asked, breaking the strange silence.

Tang Lan sneered and was the first to approach him. She was, indeed, the most outstanding manager Yang Qi had ever had. In some ways, she was even more capable than Ye Fei. But no matter how brilliant a person is, without loyalty, they are ultimately worthless.

"How could we forget? The great Mr. Yang. It seems you’ve finally stepped out of the shadow of bankruptcy. You seem quite suited for being bankrupt, actually. I suggest you remain a jobless vagabond for the rest of your life. It’s comfortable, isn’t it?" Tang Lan’s words were sharp and direct, holding nothing back.

Jiang Lan, the Marketing Director, seized the opportunity to chime in, "That’s right. Mr. Yang always used to say how hard it was to start a business, maintain a business, and run a business. Being a homeless man seems to suit you much better."

Lin Hao also laughed. "Well said. If we hadn’t propped him up, wouldn’t Mr. Yang have become a homeless man long ago? When you think about it, it was our mistake. We never should have helped make his company so successful."

One after another, they launched into a barrage of verbal attacks, spewing all sorts of vile words. They were clearly trying to intimidate Yang Qi right from the start.

After the storm of insults died down, Lin Hao finally smiled. "Let’s go, Mr. Yang. You’re the guest of honor tonight. We’ve prepared many fun activities just for you!"

Yang Qi let out a cold laugh and stepped into the private room. The room had obviously been meticulously decorated for the occasion. Several large flower baskets were placed around, each bearing a banner with humiliating messages.

"Congratulations to Mr. Yang on being cuckolded!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Yang on enjoying the life of a vagrant!"

"Best wishes that Mr. Yang never gets back on his feet and remains a jobless bum forever."

What kind of garbage is this? Even if they felt no gratitude for the opportunities and mentorship I gave them, they didn’t have to be so vicious. These people truly don’t understand the concept of gratitude. I really did raise a pack of ungrateful wolves. My past self had such poor judgment.

Yang Qi sneered, not angry, but simply finding the situation ridiculous, pathetic, and absurd.

Everyone was clearly a little disappointed. They wanted to see him fly into a powerless rage. They wanted to see him become hysterical. But it seems we failed.

"Do you all really hate me that much?" Yang Qi sat down and asked nonchalantly. "I recognized your talents and promoted you. I don’t understand why you hate me."

Tang Lan responded coldly, "Reasons to hate you? There are plenty! That Ye Fei is clearly less capable than I am, so on what grounds was he the general manager while I was just the deputy? I refused to accept that. Your pathetic little company was never worthy of me. You’re the one who deluded me. Luckily, I realized it early. Now, I’m the deputy general manager of the Qin Group, and in the future, I might even become the general manager of Qifei Group. Do you have any idea how many years you held me back?"
