C8 Important Figure.

Wai Guoqiang was drinking with a major client at the dining table when suddenly, Liu Xing'an, the director of the Yuncheng Housing Authority Bureau, called him.

"Wai Guoqiang, hurry back to the company. There's an important figure waiting for you downstairs at your company. You better treat him well!"

"What important figure?" Wai Guoqiang raised his glass to toast.

"I don't know his specific identity. I received instructions from higher-ups. Just make sure to treat him well!"

Liu Xing'an held a prestigious position, and those who could issue directives to him were probably at the provincial level or even higher in authority.

So after hanging up the phone, Wai Guoqiang quickly left the people at the table and rushed to the company.

As soon as he arrived at Hengtian Real Estate, the first person he saw at the entrance was Chu Hee. However, Chu Hee's attire didn't seem like that of an important figure, so Wai Guoqiang didn't pay much attention to him.

He hurried to the front desk, looking serious and anxious, and asked, "Did someone come looking for me just now? Where is the guest?"

Upon hearing Wai Guoqiang's inquiry, the female receptionist appeared taken aback and cast a curious glance at Chu Hee. She had overheard the content of Chu Hee's phone call and had been quietly ridiculing him for overestimating himself.

The CEO actually rushed back in such a hurry?

"Director Wai, he is the gentleman."

Wai Guoqiang turned to look, still full of doubt. But considering the content of the phone call, he didn't dare to be negligent. He walked over politely and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Chu Hee spoke lightly, "You are Wai Guoqiang, right?"

Wei Guoqiang nodded. Seeing Chu Hee's confident demeanor and how Chu Hee remained calm in front of him, Wei Guoqiang guessed that this must be the important figure.

If it were someone else meeting him, they would have probably bowed to him by now.

"I have something to discuss with you. Shall we talk here or in your office?"

"Let's go to the office for a detailed discussion," Wai Guoqiang made a gesture of invitation and led Chu Hee to the office. He politely inquired, "I don't know if you have any connection with Director-general Liu Xing'an?"

"Who is Liu Xing'an?"

"Don't you recognize him?" Wai Guoqiang mused aloud. "Could he have confused him with someone else?"

"So, what brings you here to see me?"

Chu Hee spoke calmly, "Is Wai Chenxi your son?"

Wai Guoqiang nodded, "Yes, that's right. Do you know my son?"

Chu Hee shook his head.

Seeing this, Wai Guoqiang felt like he was being played with, and he couldn't help but get a little angry. "If you don't know him, then why are you asking?"

Chu Hee let out a cold laugh, his face instantly turning as dark as a demon. His voice was eerie.

"Your son provoked me, so I came to reason with you."

The sudden drop in atmosphere made him feel a heat in his chest.

"What did my son do?"

"He bullied my wife, so I've come to seek justice."

"Your wife?"

When Wai Guoqiang heard this, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was not the big shot Director-General Liu had described. He gained a bit more confidence.

What big shot would come to demand justice for such a thing? Isn't this a joke?

"My wife is a saleswoman at your Hengtian Corporation, and her name is Lin Fengxue."

After hearing Chu Hee's words, Wai Guoqiang became even more convinced that he had mistaken the person.

He was just the husband of a saleswoman; how could he be a big shot?

His expression changed, and he sneered, "Who can prove that my son bullied your wife? Don't make baseless accusations, or you'll end up in jail for defamation."

With anger surging three feet high, Chu Hee slammed the table!

"With surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts of my wife leaving your son's office in tears with her hair disheveled, isn't that evidence sufficient?"

Wai Guoqiang laughed recklessly. "Is this supposed to be evidence? Who knows what happened in the office? You say my son bullied your wife? I could just as well say that your wife seduced my son!"

"My son is worth billions. Who wouldn't want to climb into his bed? Your wife shamelessly seduced him, and yet you dare to accuse and frame him?"

Chu Hee's face darkened, and he smirked coldly. "Mr. Wai, insulting my wife comes at a cost. Since you're protecting your son, then you can't blame me."

After saying that, he picked up his phone and dialed the number.

"Make Hengtian Real Estate Corporation go bankrupt within half an hour."

After dropping this cold statement, Chu Hee put his phone away.

Wei Guoqiang regarded Chu Hee with a mocking expression, as if he were dealing with a fool, and burst into laughter. "Which mental institution did you break out of? Are you delusional?"

"I'm laughing so hard, tears are streaming down my face. I've poured over a decade of effort into building my company, and you think you have the power to determine its fate?"

Chu Hee calmly took a sip of tea from the table, saying nothing, as if he were waiting for something.

A few minutes later, Wai Guoqiang's secretary burst into the office.

"Director Wai, it's disastrous news! Just moments ago, over half of our company's shares were abruptly acquired, and then swiftly sold at a bargain price. As a result, the stock has taken a massive nosedive, resulting in losses worth billions, and the decline is ongoing!"

"What did you say?"

Wai Guoqiang was immediately struck as if by lightning, his eyes staring blankly. Suddenly, he realized something and immediately looked at the calm figure on the sofa. His heart sank. Could it be that the phone call just now had an effect?

Before he could react, the head of the finance department barged in.

"Director Wai, there's a major issue at hand! We've received calls from several companies we recently partnered with, and they're all requesting to withdraw their investments. Even when offered compensation, they're adamant about pulling out!"

Immediately after, the head of security rushed in, sweating profusely.

"Director Wai, there's bad news!"

Wai Guoqiang's heart couldn't bear much more. He clutched his chest, his face pale, and strained to ask, "Speak!"

The person spoke in panic, "The real estate regulatory authority just called. They're demanding an immediate halt to our property sales and a safety inspection for all our properties!"

Wai Guoqiang couldn't hold on any longer; he collapsed on the sofa. In just a short ten minutes or so, the fruits of his labor for over a decade were destroyed.

He trembled as he looked at Chu Hee; he was now certain that Chu Hee was the influential figure the bureau chief had mentioned!

"All of you, get out. No matter what happens, you must not disturb me!"

Wai Guoqiang drove everyone out directly, locked the door, and then tremblingly knelt before Chu Hee.

"Sir, it's all my fault. I beg you to spare me this time."

Chu Hee, with a piercing gaze, said coldly, "It's only been a little over ten minutes. Director Wai, you can wait a bit longer. After half an hour, let's see if your company collapses."

Wei Guoqiang felt like crying but had no tears. At this rate, his company would indeed collapse within half an hour!

"I was wrong, I'm a scoundrel, and I apologize to you. As long as you don't destroy my company, I'll do whatever you ask!"

Seated with his legs crossed, Chu Hee pointed his finger imperiously at Wai Guoqiang and declared, "First, your son laid a hand on my wife, so his hand must be severed. Second, I demand a personal apology from you to my wife for the humiliation she suffered. Lastly, everything that transpires here must remain strictly confidential, known to no one else. If you fulfill all these demands, your company will naturally be safe."

Having issued his ultimatum, Chu Hee rose from his seat and left the premises without further ado.

Wai Guoqiang slumped to the ground, drenched in cold sweat, his entire body feeling utterly drained.
