Chapter 2257 - 2458: That's More Like It!

He never imagined that one day he, Zhang Hu, would be splashed with champagne in front of so many servants, and splashed all over his face and body. It's champagne that's being splashed, but what's really being splashed is his face; it's a slap to his dignity.

He's someone who loves money and values dignity and face. But today, both are repeatedly being challenged, and his mood instantly turned sour.

Although he laughed loudly, he had a sinister look on his face as he glared at Shu Ya, as if he was plotting against her. In fact, with so many security guards from his company here, and Shu Ya having sprayed champagne on his face, she naturally couldn't just leave, and leaving wouldn't be easy.

However, Shu Ya remained calm, as if she had just splashed a face with champagne and it was no big deal.

"Block the door for me!" Zhang Hu ordered angrily.

Zhang Ting, being a girl and not as experienced as Shu Ya, was frightened and hid behind Shu Ya, not daring to move. Feng Xiao suddenly rushed forward to shield Shu Ya and said to Zhang Hu, "What are you doing!"

Zhang Hu shot him a glance and immediately kicked out, "What am I doing! Your President Shu splashed champagne on my face, what do you think I'm doing!"

He kicked Feng Xiao straight in the stomach. As a secretarial worker, he couldn't withstand a kick from the robust Zhang Hu and was immediately sent sprawling to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain.

Zhang Hu laughed again upon seeing this and said to Shu Ya, "Shu Ya, Shu Ya, I tried to talk to you nicely, but who would've thought you'd be so ungrateful, splashing a glass of champagne on my face. Since you show me no respect, I won't be merciful either."

Shu Ya sneered, "A little man gets ahead!"

"A little man gets ahead!" Zhang Hu's laughter turned more sinister, "Exactly! And what else can you do besides calling me that? Sure, Shu Ya Group is powerful, but this is my territory. What can you do to me? Even a strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. Besides, you don't even qualify as a strong dragon, and I'm the local snake, haha..."

Hao Jian didn't even need to bother. If she was afraid, she wouldn't have splashed that glass of champagne. Since she did, she wasn't scared at all. She's been through more thrilling situations before.

But as Zhang Hu waved his hand, a group of security guards immediately blocked the door. Shu Ya was helpless about this, but she didn't believe Zhang Hu dared to do anything to her or trap her here today. The consequences of such an action were beyond his capacity to handle.

Zhang Hu suddenly gave a signal, and the security guards surrounded Shu Ya, Feng Xiao, and Zhang Ting.

Shu Ya showed no fear. Zhang Ting, a newcomer who hadn't been in the workplace long, was naturally terrified by this scene, while Feng Xiao, though unafraid, was curled up on the ground from being kicked and had little ability. He glared maliciously at Zhang Hu and said, "Don't be so cocky."

Then he turned to Shu Ya and said, "Don't worry, President Shu, I've already called Young Master Hao, and he'll be here soon!"

Shu Ya was a bit surprised upon hearing Hao Jian would be coming and instinctively asked, "He's coming? He's already in R country?"

She was a bit taken aback. She had been so busy with work she didn't have time for many things, so she didn't know Hao Jian had come. Feng Xiao had initially wanted to tell her, but this incident happened immediately after, so he didn't get the chance to mention it until now.

Feng Xiao quickly nodded, confirming that Young Master Hao had already arrived. Having been with Shu Ya for a while, he knew Hao Jian's capabilities well enough. Once Hao Jian arrived, this group of people wouldn't pose a threat but could instead end up in trouble themselves.

Zhang Hu was surprised to hear that Feng Xiao managed to call someone without him knowing but quickly laughed, "Calling for help! And what if they come? This is my building! You can't escape even if you grow wings!"

For him, his words made sense. After all, it was his domain. How could someone just come and go at will? But for Shu Ya, hearing this sounded like a joke.

Previously, she didn't fear because of her experiences, but now with Feng Xiao saying Hao Jian had arrived, she feared even less. With Hao Jian around, she had nothing to fear.

At this moment, Zhang Hu smiled and then said to Shu Ya with a grin, "Haha... It's not that I can't forgive you. As long as you clean the champagne off my face and clothes, everything can still be forgiven, and I might even give you that piece of land."

Zhang Hu said this with a lewd smile on his face. So it was obvious that, on the surface, it seemed like he wanted Shu Ya to wipe off the champagne, but everyone understood the underlying meaning.

Shu Ya ignored him entirely and bluntly replied, "Keep dreaming your pipe dream!"

Zhang Hu couldn't believe Shu Ya was so ungrateful, refusing the goodwill he had offered. Since that was the case, he also wouldn't show her any courtesy. He then waved his hand decisively.

"Damn it! Get her! I'll teach this vile woman a lesson! Let her know what 'you can't afford to offend' means!" Zhang Hu shouted angrily.

And just as he finished speaking, outside, the security guards who were guarding the door suddenly faced someone rushing toward them, clearly intent on breaking in.

"Sir! You can't enter!" the security guard said.

However, just as the words were spoken, this person knocked two security guards to the ground with one hand, then opened the door and walked in.

"I'd like to see just how powerful you are, what's 'untouchable'!" The speaker was Hao Jian, who had directly charged up from downstairs. No one could stop him.

As Zhang Hu finished his sentence, he saw Hao Jian rush in. Looking out, the two security guards were lying on the ground, somewhat surprised.

When Feng Xiao and Zhang Ting saw Hao Jian arrive, smiles immediately appeared on their faces. Since Hao Jian was here, all danger was gone.

As for Shu Ya, when she saw Hao Jian come in, her gaze instantly fell on Hao Jian.

"You're here!" Shu Ya said.

Hao Jian nodded and said tenderly, "Yes, I'm here. Leave it to me."

"Mmm!" Shu Ya nodded, her previous assertive demeanor instantly disappearing, turning into a gentle, soft woman instead.

But Zhang Hu looked at all of this, feeling confused. What's going on? I'm still here, this is still my territory, and you just show this kind of attitude upon arrival? Do you really think you're a hero that can save the world with just a word or two?

Hero saves the damsel? Pfft!

He immediately gave Hao Jian a malicious look and sneered, "Oh-oh-oh! Just who is it? Turns out it's just a pretty boy! I thought you'd be more impressive."

Hao Jian didn't bother with any needless talk, smiled, and then walked over. Zhang Hu immediately waved his hand, and a group of security guards guarded in front of him. Jokingly, now that there's money, one doesn't need to handle things personally anymore, right?

However, as everyone stood in front of him to guard him and block Hao Jian, the next second they all fell to the ground without even a chance to react.

"You mess with my woman? You're asking for it!" Hao Jian walked up to Zhang Hu and said coldly.

"Bang!" With a punch directly on his jaw, he couldn't even react. Next thing, his entire jaw seemed almost crippled as he heavily fell to the ground, suffering secondary injuries from the fall, completely dazed.

With one strike, truly just one strike, he couldn't even counter, already wasted.

The others watching were dumbfounded, none of them dared to step forward, all wearing expressions of fear.

"You…" Zhang Hu couldn't even speak.

"Did you hear me!"

While speaking, Hao Jian stomped on him.

Then said, "The land! Are you giving it or not?"

Zhang Hu now was truly afraid after being beaten, just one strike, really just one strike, couldn't stop him even with so many people. He considered what brought him to this point, beaten down but still had no chance to fight back, floored with one hit.

Terrifying, this is real terror.

He suddenly realized the gap between himself and Hao Jian. No wonder Shu Ya wasn't afraid at all; she was relying on him.

"Hmm?" Hao Jian waited a second longer, then was a bit impatient.

"I'll give! I'll give! I'll give!" Zhang Hu immediately said.

At this point, he felt that if he dared to say no, he might be done for. He didn't dare to gamble, only dared to respond to Hao Jian in such a manner.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's face showed a smile. He liked this direct and straightforward way. Doing things like this is better for being clear and decisive.

"That's more like it!" Hao Jian said.
