My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 79: Let Me Be the President?

"What nonsense are you spouting? The Zhang Group has always belonged to Qin Tian. The Zhang Family was merely helping to manage it," Zhang Hai frowned.

"Exactly, Yang Qi. Don’t get your hopes up," one of the executives chimed in. "Do you think you can get your fill just because the Zhang Family has fallen?"

A few executives standing near Zhang Hai burst into laughter. Clearly, they had all thrown their lot in with the Qin Family.

Zhang Hai said coldly, "It was a miracle you even managed to take the Zhang estate. And now you want the Zhang Group, too? How ridiculous! Let me tell you, if you obediently return the Zhang estate, you might still have a peaceful future. Otherwise, your end will be miserable."

Ye Fei was furious and wanted to argue, but Yang Qi held him back.

Yang Qi looked at Zhang Hai. "So, you like to play games? Fine, I’ll play along. It seems the fall of the Zhang Family hasn’t taught you anything. You can manage the Zhang Group for now. In time, I won’t just take the Zhang Group. The Qin Group will be mine as well."

With that, he turned and left. His main purpose in coming today was to get revenge for Ye Fei. His secondary goal was to understand the situation. He didn’t desperately need the Zhang Group, so it didn’t matter if he couldn’t get it right away. It’ll be mine sooner or later, anyway. I’ll just play along with the Qin Family for now. The stronger he became, the more confident he grew.

A few moments later, a Lamborghini pulled up to the entrance of the Zhang Group’s office building. The person who stepped out was none other than Qin Tian. He had also attended the bidding conference hosted by Lin Qingxuan, where he had been thoroughly humiliated. Even now, his injuries hadn’t fully healed, making him look somewhat comical.

However, Qin Tian’s presence was still impressive. His custom-made suit was handcrafted by a top Western designer and was worth a fortune. That suit alone could have cost tens of millions.

"Has Yang Qi been here?" Qin Tian asked.

"He was. He even beat up our security guards, saying it was revenge for Ye Fei," Zhang Hai reported.

"Hmph, I thought he’d try to take the company by force. I didn’t expect the kid to be such a coward!" Qin Tian scoffed. "But does he think this means I won’t come after him? I’ll make him die full of regret, just like Zhang Xiaoduo.

"And as for that Lin Qingxuan... So what if she’s the young lady of the Jingzhou Lin Family? I will have her. I’ll make her crawl into my bed willingly! I swear it!"

Qin Tian was a madman. In a way, people like him were more dangerous because even a power like the Jingzhou Lin Family couldn’t intimidate such a lunatic. Nearby, Qin Tian’s followers laughed—a sleazy and venomous sound.

Over the years, anyone Qin Tian decided to target was met with a terrible fate. Any man he targeted would surely die. Any woman he set his sights on could never escape his clutches. That was how brutal and domineering he was, and Lin Qingxuan would be no exception. They were certain that Yang Qi was finished, and Lin Qingxuan would soon become Qin Tian’s plaything.

Zhang Hai frowned. "Young Master Qin, we still shouldn’t be careless. After all, Lin Qingxuan is the young lady of the Jingzhou Lin Family. Lei Qingtian’s visit to Kang City was most likely related to her. She must have helped Yang Qi; otherwise, he’d surely be dead by now."

"Honestly, I’m almost envious of that bastard Yang Qi for having Lin Qingxuan wrapped around his finger," Qin Tian said, a cruel, cold smirk forming on his face. "But his nightmare has just begun now that he’s crossed me. Daring to cut off my revenue streams and harm my people... I will make sure he never forgets my name!"

Back at the Zhang Family mansion, Yang Qi instructed the Wolf King to purchase a batch of medicinal ingredients. He then helped each of the seventy-two wolves refine several Body Tempering Pills to enhance their strength. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it. They only help me now out of fear, but that’s not enough. What I want is true loyalty. He decided to use both the carrot and the stick.

True to the saying, a man’s mouth is shut by food and his hand by gold. After receiving the Body Tempering Pills from Yang Qi, the seventy-two wolves felt their power increase dramatically, and their loyalty toward him surged as well.

Afterward, Yang Qi returned to the annex at the Lin Family estate. He was staying there primarily for Lin Qingxuan’s safety. He didn’t realize that Uncle Jian and the others he had met were actually her bodyguards. He believed that by living in the annex, he could protect her from harm.

However, he was surprised to see Lei Qingtian and his group when he arrived. Lei Qingtian, Lei Tingjun, and Lei Yingying were all there. Accompanying them was an old man who looked to be over fifty.

"Mr. Yang, it’s great that you’re back!" Lei Qingtian exclaimed, personally standing up to greet him, a gesture that somewhat surprised the old man.

"You’re too kind. Is there something I can help you with?" Yang Qi asked.

"Mr. Yang, this is Master Chen Guo, the Vice Chairman of the Jingnan Prefecture National Medicine Association," Lei Qingtian said with a smile. "We’ve come today to ask a favor of you."

"Go ahead. You helped me, so it’s only right that I help you," Yang Qi nodded.

"Excellent! This is a letter of appointment," Lei Qingtian said, handing a document to Yang Qi. "We would like to invite you to become the chairman of the Jingnan Prefecture National Medicine Association. The association is a semi-official organization where the chairman is appointed, while the vice-chairmen are elected."

Yang Qi was utterly baffled.

How did I suddenly become the chairman of the Jingnan Prefecture National Medicine Association? This position isn’t low at all; in terms of rank, it’s comparable to a deputy Prefecture Master. Even for a semi-official organization, it wields substantial power. The entire field of National Medicine in Jingnan Prefecture is under the association’s purview. National Medicine is flourishing in Dragon Country, especially since the development of Martial Arts and the use of Inner Strength has propelled it forward, making it even more formidable. Although Western medicine still holds sway, National Medicine is gradually reclaiming lost ground. The greater its influence, the more powerful the association becomes.

"Are you sure about this?" Yang Qi asked. "I’ve never had any systematic training in National Medicine. My knowledge is in pharmacology, which leans more toward Western medicine."

"Absolutely certain!" Lei Qingtian insisted. "If it weren’t for your miraculous rejuvenation techniques, this old man would already be dead. With Medical Skills as divine as yours, if you aren’t qualified to be the chairman, then no one is!"

"But I don’t have time to manage the association’s affairs," Yang Qi pointed out.

"You don’t need to worry about that either," Lei Qingtian said with a smile. "The chairman of the National Medicine Association only needs to appear at critical moments to direct the overall strategy. The actual day-to-day business is handled by the vice-chairmen.

"That’s precisely why I brought Master Chen here. You can entrust all responsibilities to him; he has many years of experience."

"Chairman Yang," Master Chen Guo interjected, his tone blunt and clearly showing he wasn’t convinced by this young upstart. "As it happens, there is a matter that requires your signature right now."

Yang Qi, unbothered, asked calmly, "What is it?"
