"But you have to see how massive our discount was this time."

"Even though we raised the price of the original product, we were practically giving away that set of high-grade seconds."

"It was equivalent to slashing our profit margin by thirty percent."

"Because of that, a lot of customers who were on the fence before couldn’t resist snatching them up. After all, our brand influence and reputation are already well-established."

Sun Yanzi nodded. As the head of the sales department, she naturally knew that her company’s products had always targeted the mid-to-high-end market.

The prices weren’t something the average person could afford, even though the quality was excellent.

But many people were hesitant, unsure if they were willing to spend hundreds, or even thousands, on a set of lingerie.

But this promotion that Jiang Fan organized was the final push they needed.

It made them decide to just go for it and rush to buy.

Besides, once the price hit their target, it was something they could brag about.

"I’ll say it again: if you ever start your own company, don’t forget me. I’ll come work for you in a heartbeat."

"Forget it. I’m not cut out for that."

Jiang Fan shook his head. "It’s so late. I’m starving. Let’s go get something to eat."

Jiang Fan pulled out his phone and glanced at the time. It was already almost 11:30.

"Alright. Skewers are on me."

The two of them found a random barbecue joint and ducked inside, wolfing down skewers and rice as if they hadn’t eaten in days.

They would occasionally stop to catch their breath and chat about happy things happening at the company.

To any outsider, they looked just like a young couple.

The glances cast their way were tinged with envy.

"BANG."

The sudden, loud noise made everyone in the restaurant jump.

The glass door of the barbecue stall had been kicked open.

Luckily, the door was sturdy, or it would have shattered.

"Bitch! You told me you were working overtime, but you were really here fooling around with some other man, weren’t you?"

A burly, fierce-looking man with a large, bald head stormed in. A dragon tattoo snaked from his chest over his shoulder and down his arm.

He was clearly the type you don’t mess with.

The man strode directly toward Jiang Fan.

He reached out to grab Jiang Fan’s hair and yank him backward.

Jiang Fan’s brow furrowed slightly. He dodged aside and, with a backhand, slapped the burly man across the face, nearly sending him tumbling.

"You little bastard, you fucking dare to hit me?"

Getting slapped in public was clearly more than his pride could handle.

A savage look appeared on his face as he swung a fist at Jiang Fan.

"Are you crazy?"

Jiang Fan sidestepped, dodging again.

"Zhong Long, what do you think you’re doing? Are you insane?"

Sun Yanzi quickly pulled Jiang Fan behind her, shielding him.

"You still dare to protect your lover boy? We’re the ones who are legally married! You dare to cheat on me? I’m going to kill you two, you goddamn adulterers!"

Zhong Long pointed at Jiang Fan, the ferocity on his face completely undisguised.

"He’s just a colleague from my company. We were getting a late-night snack after working overtime."

"Don’t cause a scene here. We can talk about this when we get home."

Although Sun Yanzi’s tone was firm, Jiang Fan could hear a deep-seated weariness in her voice.

"You say nothing happened, so nothing happened?"

"Let me tell you, kid. You dare mess with my woman? You’re not walking out of here today without paying me a million yuan!"

"Or, you can choose to spend a few months in the hospital."

Hearing this, Jiang Fan actually laughed. ’What a real piece of work.’

"Yanzi, is this your husband?"

Sun Yanzi nodded with extreme reluctance. "Don’t mind him. You should go, quickly. It’ll be bad if you get hurt when he loses it."

"We still need you to oversee things at work tomorrow."

Hearing her confirm it, Jiang Fan scratched his head. ’With Yanzi’s looks, abilities, and even her personality, how did she end up with a fucking idiot like this?’

"It was arranged by my parents. I had no choice."

"You bitch! Daring to be so lovey-dovey with him right in front of me? Just you wait ’til we get home! I’ll make you regret it every single day for the next year, you just see if I don’t!"

Hearing this, Jiang Fan’s expression instantly turned cold.

’Sun Yanzi had been good to him; she had always looked out for him at work. And this fat pig was actually planning to hit her when they got home?’

When Sun Yanzi heard Zhong Long’s threat, her expression didn’t even flicker.

"You should go. I’ll be fine. He’s all talk."

"Zhong Long, let’s go home. There’s really nothing between him and me. We’re just colleagues."

"No!"

It wasn’t just Sun Yanzi; even the surrounding diners who were watching the show stared at Jiang Fan in surprise.

Because that "No!" had come from him.

"Yanzi, you can’t go back with him."

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"If you were a loving couple, I wouldn’t have much to say. I would have even apologized to the gentleman."

"But he’s planning to hit you when you get home. As your colleague and friend, I absolutely cannot stand by and do nothing."

"But you’ll get hurt."

A look of anxiety appeared on Sun Yanzi’s face.

She genuinely didn’t want anything to happen to Jiang Fan.

"Just tell me if you want to go back with him or not. Leave the rest to me."

"The two of you, being all lovey-dovey. Who the fuck are you trying to fool!"

Zhong Long clearly had a short fuse. Raising his fist, he charged at Jiang Fan.

"It’s over! That kid’s finished!"

"That guy looks like he’s over 220 pounds, and he’s gotta be 6’2". One punch from him could probably kill a man, right?"

"Only an idiot would try to match his strength. You gotta be smart, find a way to get him later."

"No doubt about it, the young guy must have a thing for married women. Why else wouldn’t he leave?"

"The heart of a poet, the spirit of a conqueror, right? But you gotta admit, the lady is a total knockout."

"I’d give up ten years of my life just to have one night with her."

"First, you should think about whether you can take a punch from her husband’s sandbag-sized fists."

"Jiang Fan!!"

Sun Yanzi screamed and threw herself onto Jiang Fan, trying to shield him from the blow.

A cold smirk played on Jiang Fan’s lips. With one arm wrapped around Sun Yanzi’s soft waist, he lifted his leg and kicked Zhong Long square in the stomach.

"BOOM!!"

No one expected that the one who went flying backward would be the burly Zhong Long, crashing through countless chairs along the way.

If he hadn’t controlled his strength, that one kick could have been fatal.

"Ah... This... You..."

Staring at the scene before her, Sun Yanzi felt her brain short-circuit.

For a moment, she couldn’t process what had just happened.

"You... He..."

"Don’t worry. I told you, as long as you don’t want to leave, no one can take you away."

Jiang Fan casually patted her on the head.

"You know, a person has to live for themselves. This situation of yours..."

Jiang Fan didn’t say anything more.

Hearing his words, a shadow fell over Sun Yanzi’s eyes.

"You should go. You have work tomorrow. Hurry back and get some rest."

"But what about him...?"
