While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

Qin Xiao's expression was somewhat cold.

Although those spoiled rich kids have conflicts among themselves, it's practically impossible for them to openly cause trouble like this.

Doing so would be tantamount to completely tearing off the mask of civility.

If someone really comes to cause trouble and disrupt the event, he naturally won't sit idly by.

"There was some trouble, but you don't need to get involved, brother-in-law. I've already taken care of it."

Zhang Hao noticed the change in Qin Xiao's expression and quickly said something.

"What's going on? Is this specifically targeting you?"

Qin Xiao frowned and asked in a cold voice.

"That's definitely not it. It was just a conflict between two tables of customers that started fighting in the private room. I've already dealt with it. As long as they're not deliberately targeting me to cause trouble at the bar, let them fight it out. Just make sure they compensate me for my things later."

Zhang Hao shook his head, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "The main problem is that I know both sides; otherwise, I would have had security kick me out long ago."

"Hmm, you handled it fairly well. As long as it's not aimed at the bar or specifically at you, there's no need to get involved! Let them resolve their personal grudges among themselves. Don't get involved, or you'll only cause trouble for yourself."

Qin Xiao nodded in praise upon hearing Zhang Hao's words.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, don't worry, I understand that much! It's just that Luo Bin from the Luo family got beaten up pretty badly, and it made me feel really good, haha..."

Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was somewhat gloating. When he thought of Luo Bin being beaten up, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Who? Luo Bin? The heir to Wing Hang Properties?"

Qin Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, that's him! The Luo family and the Su family are very close. That kid will turn against us sooner or later. He deserves to be beaten up now."

Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"That's true!"

Qin Xiao smiled and nodded, then looked curious: "But there aren't many people in Minghai City who would dare to beat up Luo Bin, are there?"

"Brother-in-law, you wouldn't believe it! I was stunned at first too. I was thinking, among all the young people in Minghai City, besides you, who else would dare to beat up Luo Bin? Well, someone actually did it! And you'd never guess who the person who beat up Luo Bin is!"

When Zhang Hao heard Qin Xiao say this, he immediately became interested and deliberately kept him in suspense.

"Stop beating around the bush, who did it?"

Qin Xiao was both amused and exasperated.

"Brother-in-law, you know about Su Mingxuan being cheated on, right? Meng Qingyao picked up a guy from somewhere and got married..."

Zhang Hao was in high spirits and ready to launch into a long speech when he saw Qin Xiao's expression suddenly change, his previously calm eyes instantly turning sharp.

The sudden change in expression made Zhang Hao panic: "Brother-in-law, wh...what's wrong?"

"You mean the guy who beat up Luo Bin, the one Meng Qingyao got her marriage certificate with?"

Qin Xiao's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at Zhang Hao.

"Yes...yes! I know that Meng Bufan. He calls that kid brother-in-law. Meng Bufan only has one older sister, Meng Qingyao, so it should be true."

Zhang Hao nodded hastily, but before he could finish speaking, Qin Xiao slapped him on the back of the head.

"Brother-in-law, why did you hit me?"

Zhang Hao looked miserable, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.

"Watch your address. If you do it again, I'll slap you."

Qin Xiao glanced at Zhang Hao with a serious expression, then walked directly towards the private room.

"What's your name? What's your name?"

Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

At this moment, Zhang Hao was no longer calm. The only slightly inappropriate way he addressed Lin Feng was by calling him "that kid."

So, Qin Xiao beat him up because of Meng Bufan's brother-in-law?

Who exactly is this guy? Does his brother-in-law Qin Xiao know him too?

Realizing this, Zhang Hao quickly followed.

Qin Xiao, who was almost at the door of the private room, suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around abruptly, grabbed Zhang Hao by the back of the neck, and asked, "You didn't provoke him, did you? You didn't do anything offensive or disrespectful to him, did you?"

"what?"

Zhang Hao was completely stunned. In his mind, Qin Xiao was almost a god-like figure among the younger generation in Minghai City. Now, seeing Qin Xiao's serious expression, Zhang Hao's mind suddenly couldn't process it.

"What do you mean 'huh'? Tell me honestly, did you offend anyone? Otherwise, I can't guarantee I can protect you!"

Qin Xiao said solemnly.

"No...no! When I went in, I saw that I knew people on both sides, so I didn't get involved. I didn't take sides with anyone. I just told them to remember to pay for the things they smashed later!"

In his panic, Zhang Hao thought back and, after confirming that he hadn't done anything out of line, calmed down a little.

"That's all?"

"That's all! To be honest, I even exchanged a few pleasantries with Meng Bufan. When it comes to business, as the boss, I can't easily offend my customers."

Zhang Hao said with absolute certainty.

"That's good, that's good! You've grown up, you're much more reliable than before. It's just a matter of paying compensation. I'll put the cost of the things he broke on my tab, and I'll have your sister transfer it to you later."

Hearing Zhang Hao say this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After straightening Zhang Hao's collar, he turned and went into the private room.

Zhang Hao naturally followed along eagerly, but he was already filled with lingering fear.

Because Qin Xiao actually said he would hold the person who smashed the things accountable to him.

Zhang Hao certainly wouldn't ask Qin Xiao for the money. What truly shocked him was Qin Xiao's identity. There were always others who would cover Qin Xiao's debts, but this was the first time Qin Xiao had ever offered to cover someone else's debts!

What does this mean?

Damn it, Minghai City has suddenly become a powerful force from out of town. No wonder they dared to poach Su Mingxuan's girlfriend, no wonder they dared to beat up Luo Bin...

and many more!

Zhang Hao suddenly had a jolt of realization: Meng Qingyao had found a husband like this; wouldn't the Meng family be on the verge of taking off...?

Zhang Hao swallowed hard. This was how his Zhang family had risen to prominence, so he knew very well how fast they could grow with support! If their family had done this, and the Su family had done it too, it seemed the Meng family was about to rise as well!

Realizing this, Zhang Hao had already secretly made up his mind that he had to cultivate a good relationship with Meng Bufan. Fortunately, he had greeted Meng Bufan when he went in earlier, and looking back now, it was the best decision he had made today...
