Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Straight Hit
Chapter 45 -45 Straight Hit
On this night, not only did Zhu Zhizhou fail to gain any advantage from Mr. Yan, he instead found himself on the receiving end of one wave of sarcasm after another.
Mr. Yan, normally a man of few words, had a razor-sharp tongue that could choke the life out of anyone he disliked.
But even so, faced with Mr. Yan’s harsh words, Zhu Zhizhou could only swallow his pride, concealing his anger in silence.
Watching the exchange from the sidelines, Su Lang was drenched in cold sweat.
If he had known how intensely Mr. Yan disliked Zhu Zhizhou, he would never have agreed to Zhu Zhizhou’s request.
Luckily, Mr. Yan’s cutting words were directed solely at Zhu Zhizhou, and he had no intention of hurting him in any way.
Realizing this, Su Lang was slightly reassured.
As for Zhu Zhizhou, a seasoned player in the game, his exceptional psychological capabilities and resilience were clearly visible. Moreover, besides Mr. Yan, there was no one else he could turn to for help.
Thus, despite the sting of Mr. Yan’s words, Zhu Zhizhou became increasingly indifferent, maintaining a smile and serving tea while bearing the brunt of Mr. Yan’s constant criticism.
To an outsider, it might have seemed as if Zhu Zhizhou had killed Mr. Yan’s father.
Qin Xiu, unaware of the situation, could only hope that this future father-in-law would not cause trouble in Zhu Qianying’s marriage to Mr. Yan.
Of course, he realized that his concern was likely unwarranted.
In L City and across the country, countless people were eager to marry their daughters into the Yan family. However, it seemed that Mr. Yan had eyes only for Zhu Qianying.
Judging by Zhu Zhizhou’s performance tonight, it was evident that he was desperately trying to marry his daughter into the Yan family for the sake of wealth and status.
Upon realizing this, Qin Xiu gained a better understanding of why Mr. Yan had been relentlessly humiliating Zhu Zhizhou since morning.
Perhaps Mr. Yan did not have strong feelings for Zhu Qianying at the moment. But among all the women in Mr. Yan’s life, Zhu Qianying was the only exception, besides his mother.
All the other women in Mr. Yan’s life were like sunflowers, with Zhu Qianying being the rose that caught his attention.
In other words, only Zhu Qianying had the ability to attract Mr. Yan’s attention.
Although her allure wasn’t very strong at the moment, Mr. Yan had already assigned her a place in his life.
That’s why he had relentlessly bombarded Zhu Zhizhou with verbal attacks all night long.
Zhu Zhizhou, on the receiving end of these attacks, had no choice but to console himself. As long as he could allow Mr. Yan to vent his anger, everything would be fine.
The more Zhu Zhizhou endured, the more invigorated Mr. Yan became. Moreover, he managed to vent the anger he had held against Zhu Qianying the previous night.
At eleven o’clock, Su Lang settled the bill with the waitstaff. Along with his subordinates and Zhu Zhizhou, they respectfully saw Mr. Yan off to his car.
Having got into the car, Mr. Yan felt extremely refreshed and invigorated.
As Qin Xiu drove away from the tea house’s parking lot, he asked, “Where to, Sir?”
That night marked the beginning of Lullaby’s counter-attack against Le Yun. Although he had been informed over the phone by various managers that the results were extremely positive, Qin Xiu knew that Mr. Yan would want to see the situation for himself.
As expected, an elated Mr. Yan immediately responded, “To West Bank Road.”
The roads were not very busy at that hour. The usually hour-long journey took Qin Xiu less than that to reach Lullaby KTV on West Bank Road.
Just by looking at the packed parking lot, it was easy to imagine the booming business inside.
“Your strategy was brilliant, Sir!” Qin Xiu had always admired Mr. Yan’s business acumen.
Otherwise, how could he have followed him faithfully for many years?
Mr. Yan scoffed, “I planned to spare him an escape route, leaving him some money to return to his nest. But the fool insisted on being stubborn and chose the hard way. Deserves it!”
Amid their conversation, they had already entered the KTV lobby.
As expected, the entrancing sight of a packed dance floor greeted them with people gyrating to the pounding rhythm of the music. The dazzling array of lights reflected off the faces of the hyped young crowd, while the band on the stage played exhilarating music, their bodies swaying in tune with the audience below.
“Are you satisfied, Sir?” Not needing to check the data with the manager, Qin Xiu could tell by the atmosphere alone that they had won a sweeping victory.
Mr. Yan gave a slight nod, just as the manager, having received news of his arrival, appeared in front of them.

“We’re bursting at the seams tonight, Sir!”
Mr. Yan grunted, indicating that he had no interest in repeating an already-answered question.
Of course, both the manager and Qin Xiu, having served under Mr. Yan for many years, had developed the ability to decipher his intentions from a mere glance or grunt.
“Would you like to play a few games, Sir? You seem to be in good spirits tonight.” Hoping to take a break, the manager seized this opportunity to make the suggestion.
Although Mr. Yan was in a good mood, he didn’t have much enthusiasm for gambling.
That isn’t to say he doesn’t gamble. In fact, he’s a keen gambler, but only finds it interesting when playing against opponents of equal stature.
Neither Qin Xiu nor the manager, in his eyes, even qualify to deal him cards, let alone join him at the gambling table.
Recognizing Mr. Yan’s silence as a lack of interest, Qin Xiu said, “With our skills, we don’t even qualify to polish your shoes.”
He was well aware that his skill in gambling paled in comparison to Mr. Yan’s.
Mr. Yan remained silent, heading for the staircase, presumably intending to go to his regular VIP room.
Meanwhile, the manager was pulled aside by a supervisor to discuss something. After their conversation, seeing Mr. Yan disappearing up the staircase, he dashed after him.
By the time the out-of-breath manager caught up with Mr. Yan, Qin Xiu had already received Mr. Yan’s order to open the door. As the door opened, a duet by a man and woman drifted out.
Taking my hand, we walk together
Creating a happy life
You didn’t have time yesterday
Tomorrow would be a pity
Marry me today, okay?
…
Based simply on the rhythm and melody, Qin Xiu believed that the two singers were in perfect harmony. Judging by that, they must be a couple, otherwise, they couldn’t possibly sing with such intimacy.
