Never mind Wan Li, who was busy trying to curry favor with the chairman’s future in-laws.

Let’s focus on Pang Hu, who was now completely dumbfounded.

’Oh my god, what’s going on? What did President Wan call that young kid? Chairman??? Holy shit, that kid is the chairman of Baida Film and Television?? But I thought that company belonged to Principal Wang?’

SCREECH~

Just then, the screech of tires braking hard sounded from outside again.

Everyone was startled by the sound, wondering who would make such a racket just by parking a car.

The next moment, the door was thrown open, and a young man dressed in a tank top and baggy shorts walked in.

The first to see him was Pang Hu, who was still standing dumbfounded by the door. When he got a clear look at the newcomer, his pudgy face began to twitch.

’Was this a fucking case of "speak of the devil"? I was just thinking about Principal Wang, and now the guy actually shows up at my company?’

’Good heavens, what is happening! So many bigwigs showing up at my little company today? If I told my good-for-nothing friends about this, they’d die of envy.’

’But then it hit me, something’s not right. Aren’t all these big shots here to cause trouble for me?’

Sure enough, as a million thoughts raced through Pang Hu’s mind, Principal Wang strode right past him. He walked quickly over to Fang Chenyi and first greeted Bai Menghan, who was at his side, with a smile:

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Then he turned to Fang Chenyi with a cheeky grin.

"Brother Fang, are you looking down on your little bro? I told you to call me if anything happened. If my dad hadn’t told me you acquired Baida Film and Television, and Uncle Wan hadn’t filled me in, I wouldn’t have even known you were in trouble."

Fang Chenyi playfully rapped him on the head and said with a laugh:

"It’s no big deal. I can handle it myself, I don’t need you. Come, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Bai, your sister-in-law’s father, and this is Auntie..."

...

"OMG! Principal Wang! The Nation’s Husband!! It’s him! Hubby, I love you!!!"

While Fang Chenyi was making introductions, the woman with the heavily powdered face at the Sanqiang Entertainment reception desk suddenly let out a shriek, vaulted over the counter, and rushed at Principal Wang. Before he could react, she planted a big, wet kiss on his face.

Principal Wang, finally reacting, yelped and leaped back. The men Wan Li had brought with him rushed forward to restrain the frantic woman.

Perhaps the woman’s kiss was just too forceful, because now, besides a bright red lipstick print, Principal Wang’s entire right cheek was smeared with a layer of white powder.

Fang Chenyi could barely stifle his laughter at the sight. If his future in-laws weren’t there, he would have roared with laughter.

At that moment, Pang Hu finally snapped out of it. After quickly having security drag the crazed woman away, he scurried over to Fang Chenyi, bowing with his face beaded with cold sweat, and apologized profusely.

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I truly am. I was blind and failed to recognize Your Excellency. I didn’t know your status. Please, be magnanimous and don’t hold this against a lowly person like me."

Fang Chenyi glanced at the groveling Pang Hu but didn’t respond. Instead, he turned to Du Wenxue, who was carefully examining the files at his side, and said:

"You can begin the investigation, Supervisor Du."

The moment Pang Hu saw this, he immediately understood. Waving his pudgy hands frantically, he blurted out:

"No, no, that’s not necessary! No need to trouble yourselves! I’ll tell you everything, everything! Uh, everyone, please, this way. We have a lounge area. Please, take a seat. I, Pang Hu, swear I’ll tell you everything I know without holding anything back. Xiaoli! Hurry to my office and bring down that box of premium Da Hong Pao tea."

At this point, if Pang Hu still couldn’t see the writing on the wall, he might as well have changed his name to Blind Tiger.

But despite Pang Hu’s words, no one moved. All eyes turned to Fang Chenyi.

Fang Chenyi smiled and nodded. Only then did Pang Hu let out a long sigh of relief and lead them to the lounge area.

Although the lounge was spacious, the only ones who ended up sitting were Fang Chenyi’s future in-laws, Principal Wang, and a nervous Wan Li and Supervisor Du, who were perched on the edges of their seats. Everyone else remained standing behind Fang Chenyi’s sofa.

’Seeing this display of power,’ Pang Hu cursed himself inwardly, ’what kind of behemoth did I provoke?!’

Pang Hu wasn’t the only one in shock; Father Bai and Mrs. Bai were utterly dumbfounded. Hearing about something is never the same as seeing it with your own eyes. All these powerful people were groveling before their future son-in-law, and they were even treating his family with the utmost caution. ’If I wasn’t so afraid of embarrassing my son-in-law,’ Father Bai thought, ’I’d have run outside for a smoke just to get some air.’

As for the other couple in their party, they looked extremely anxious. Though they forced themselves to appear calm, their knuckles were white from clenching their fists.

Once everyone was seated, Pang Hu also perched on the edge of a chair. Before Supervisor Du could even speak, Pang Hu spilled everything he knew.

"Chairman Fang, President Wang, President Wan, I won’t lie to you, this matter really has nothing to do with us. And that guy, Mu Linsen, he doesn’t work for our company."

Fang Chenyi had no reaction to this, but Bai Mengyao, at his side, immediately flared up. She pointed a finger at Pang Hu and shouted:

"You’re lying! How could it have nothing to do with you? Isn’t that your company’s official seal on my contract? And Mu Linsen was driving one of your company cars! I distinctly remember scratching the inside door panel with an embellishment on my high heel when I got out. Let’s go check it right now!"

Pang Hu didn’t dare say anything harsh this time. He waited until Bai Mengyao had finished, then began to explain with a bitter smile, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"Miss Bai, please don’t be angry. Calm down. Please, just let me finish."

Bai Mengyao was about to retort but was stopped by Bai Menghan.

"Big Sis, let him finish."

Seeing Fang Chenyi give a slight nod, Bai Mengyao resentfully fell silent.

Seeing that Bai Mengyao wasn’t going to press him further, Pang Hu continued.

"At a time like this, I, Pang Hu, wouldn’t dare hide anything. After Miss Bai’s last visit, I looked into the matter. The thing is, the company seals on Miss Bai’s documents are all fake."

After he finished, he turned and shouted to an employee by the door:

"Go tell the finance supervisor to bring all of the company’s official seals here for Chairman Fang’s inspection."
