, it will decompose and its performance is extremely unstable." Wang Zheng muttered to himself, but these words sounded like the voice of a devil to Chen Maidong."Don't touch it, or I won't let you of...Chapter 21: Attend a Banquet with a Beauty!

Zhu Feng's mother, Ye Hui, was sitting by the bedside wiping tears. Seeing her beloved son tormented into such a state made her heartache and hatred beyond words. Who was that damned person to treat her outstanding son like this

At this moment, Zhu Feng's father, Zhu Qihua, finally returned home after work. Upon seeing his son's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but be filled with rage!

Zhu Qihua was originally the Secretary of the Municipal Government Office in the capital city, and there was a very high possibility this year that he would be promoted to Vice Mayor, or even enter the Standing Committee. However, unexpectedly, his promotion was blocked by someone with powerful backing. Not only did his own promotion fall through, but he also became the laughingstock of others.

"Who is that damned person who put you in this state"

Every parent protects their child fiercely, and Zhu Qihua just couldn't find an outlet to vent his anger. Seeing Zhu Feng's miserable appearance, he immediately started boiling with rage, completely losing any leadership demeanor!

"I... it's a girl from our school..." Zhu Feng spoke with difficulty, his face turning red and purple as the effects of Wang Shi's chili water were too strong to bear. Looking at his current state, this guy could only consume liquid food for at least three days.

"A girl"

Zhu Qihua furrowed his eyebrows, hiding his angry expression and began deep contemplation.

Zhu Qihua was used to being in a position of power and naturally also accustomed to profound thinking. He understood that there were many people who knew Zhu Feng's identity. Knowing the background of his son, yet daring to act like this, it likely wasn't some ignorant person! Perhaps all these incidents were deliberately orchestrated to provoke him and see what kind of reaction he would have!

He was originally destined to become a Vice Mayor but was unexpectedly blocked, with an opportunity snatched away. Now his son had been tormented by others into this state; neither too early nor too late, it couldn't be said that there wasn't any connection between these two events, or Zhu Qihua wouldn't believe himself.

In the capital city area, things were very deep and complicated!

Seeing his son's painful appearance, no matter what, Zhu Qihua could not hold back this anger. But with a deep sense of reservation, he didn’t act out further but said, "Call the hospital, have an ambulance come to take Xiao Feng there."

Ye Hui was wiping her tears and said, "Old Zhu! For so long you've been swallowing your pride and carefully dealing with everyone with a smiling face. But what's the result The result is that nobody takes you seriously! Being blocked from becoming Vice Mayor, even your son has been bullied!"

"Old Zhu, this matter you absolutely can't endure it any longer!" Ye Hui stood up and shouted: "You're a father! When your own son is tormented to this state by others, are you still going to be like a turtle hiding its head You must take revenge!"

Zhu Qihua, although uncommonly not raging, had a very impatient expression: "Do you understand what politics is A woman knows nothing about it!"

"Right, right! You know about it. Your wife and child are nearly killed by others!"

Ye Hui spoke louder and louder: "I don't care! Zhu Qihua, if you don't take action on this matter, I will definitely use my connections in my own way to seek justice for my son!"

"Get out quickly, stop bothering me!" Zhu Qihua turned around and walked into the study, slamming the door shut.

Looking at that closed door, Ye Hui wiped her tears fiercely, then said to Zhu Feng: "Son, if your father doesn't want to help you, I will! That girl, I'll make sure she can no longer stay in the capital!"

Zhu Feng nodded as well, his little eyes brimming with intense malice and resentment.

"Hello President Li This is Ye Hui from Yehui Cultural Industry Corporation. Yes, Secretary Zhu is my spouse..."

"Hello, Judge Chen I'm Ye Hui. We had a meal together the other day. There's something I need your help with... " Ye Hui started to use her own methods to seek revenge for her son.

...

Unconsciously, it was already at the end of summer, when the weather was dry and refreshing despite the sun shining. A gentle breeze made people feel relaxed instead of irritated by the heat of summer.

Zhang Mingqi opened the sliding window and turned off the central air conditioning to enjoy the rare cool wind in summer.

The medicine that Wang Zheng gave his brother yesterday was very effective; it only needed one application for a significant effect, with much of the redness gone. Judging from this, two more applications would probably lead to full recovery.

Just as Zhang Mingqi was thinking, her phone suddenly rang.

The number was unknown, but Zhang Mingqi still pressed the answer button anyway.

"Hello, I'm Wang Zheng," a cheerful voice came through on the other end of the line. Yes, hearing his voice could make people feel like he was smiling and had a warm expression.

"Mr. Wang, you finally called." Zhang Mingqi's voice was slightly hoarse but in a way that could easily excite one’s blood; if someone with weak self-control heard her seductive voice, they might immediately reach for tissues.

"How is the medication working"

The effect is quite good. I estimate Mingquan will be able to leave home and meet people in two days."

"Tonight we're having dinner together. Has Miss Zhang forgotten about this matter"

From the other end of the phone, Zhang Mingqi's voice carried a hint of apology: "Mr. Wang Zheng, I'm really sorry today. I suddenly received an invitation to a banquet and it’s somewhat inconvenient for me today. Could we reschedule"

"I don't think that would be necessary," Wang Zheng said happily. "For such banquets, Miss Zhang is probably still short of a male companion. Don’t worry, I won’t embarrass you; let's just settle on this."

"But…" Before Zhang Mingqi could explain further, she was interrupted by Wang Zheng.

"No buts, Miss Zhang. I’m already downstairs at your building and will wait for you after work." With that, Wang Zheng hung up the phone, leaving Zhang Mingqi with a stunned expression.

There are actually men who are so domineering and unreasonable; they don’t even want to hear my explanation

Zhang Mingqi had indeed received an evening banquet invitation. To be precise, it was a gathering within a private circle, attended by the second generation of wealthy individuals and officials in the capital city. On ordinary days, these young people would like to organize various gatherings or salons because their parents control significant commercial or political resources, which they will eventually take over; hence, early exchanges among them are not without benefit.

It should be noted that these second generations aren’t all incapable fools or parasites. Some of them actually have a keen eye and considerable talent, successfully establishing themselves in the capital city at a young age—Zhang Mingqi is a typical example. Of course, her brother Zhang Mingquan serves as another negative reference.

However, regarding Wang Zheng's intention to attend this banquet together with her, Zhang Mingqi didn’t think too much about it. Although she wanted to refuse in her heart, since she had already agreed to have dinner and allowed him to choose the time and place freely, declining would mean breaking her promise.

After work, Zhang Mingqi saw Wang Zheng standing beside her Maserati with a radiant smile.

"Let's go; I want to see what kind of gathering these second generations have."

"First, let me take you to change into an evening gown. I’ve already contacted my personal designer who will provide the most professional design for you."

Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "Miss Mingqi's service is very thorough."

To be honest, Zhang Mingqi didn't have any bad feelings towards Wang Zheng, nor did she feel particularly positive about him. Although her younger brother had been beaten up by him, it was entirely due to the younger brother's lustful intentions; no one else could be blamed for that. Even though she felt unhappy in her heart, she knew that morally speaking, her side was in the wrong. Of course, if not for Wang Zheng, she wouldn't have had to pay such a high price to retain Sheng Fei, who then became an ultra-rich person.

Although they had only met once, Zhang Mingqi inexplicably felt a sense of mystery about Wang Zheng; this was also the biggest reason why Zhang Mingqi did not refuse him.

After coming out from the fitting room, Zhang Mingqi wore a beige cocktail dress. Her long wavy hair wasn't updo but rather simply tied into a ponytail in a minimalist style, revealing her collarbone and shoulders, appearing extremely alluring.

The chest part of the short dress had many large yet cute pleats that wrapped around her trembling cleavage, while still leaving just enough room for men's imagination. The skirt went to mid-thigh, with tight buttocks that seemed full of elasticity, making one want to touch it with their fingers.

If a man without strong self-control saw this scene, he would probably be bleeding from his nose.

Zhang Mingqi was very confident in her natural advantages and clearly understood the damage she could cause to men. Naturally, she also made reasonable use of this point.

However, when Wang Zheng came out of the fitting room, he completely captivated Zhang Mingqi's gaze.

The originally messy hair was styled into a crimson carp hairstyle by the stylist, which highlighted Wang Zheng's powerful physique even more. With two buttons undone at his collarbone, just enough chest muscles were revealed, his eyes slightly squinted, and with fair skin and an aura that was somewhat delicate yet firm, he gave off a unique beauty.

Standing beside the extremely alluring Zhang Mingqi, Wang Zheng didn't appear inferior in any way.

Zhang Mingqi smiled and said, "I never expected you to be so surprising."

Wang Zheng looked at his outfit in the mirror before smiling and saying, "I can hold my own in social settings as well as in the kitchen. I guarantee that once you taste my cooking, you'll fall for me."

Zhang Mingqi elegantly turned around to face Wang Zheng in front of the mirror with her seductive eyes staring at him, saying, "Then when you have time, do let me try your cooking and see if I'll fall for you."

Wang Zheng stared back at Zhang Mingqi without hesitation, smiling as he said, "Don't blame me if I warn you: don’t set yourself on fire by playing with it."

Zhang Mingqi handed Wang Zheng the car keys and then naturally linked her arm through his, saying, "Let's go. At the Yalan Club tonight, I'm sure they'll be amazed again."lp at this point—he needed to stay calm and think through everything carefully.Su Tianran was taken aback upon hearing the "we" in Wang Zheng's words."The other party mentioned that Wanwan is already...
