The Global Financial Center soared to 101 floors.

It was the world's tallest flat-top building and now served as the headquarters of Chen's Financial Group.

Qin Heng let Xia Shuang rest in the tea room on the first floor, where Wu Yuqing also was.

Then he and Chen Qingzhu took the elevator to the 100th floor to head to the Qianqiu Conference Room.

Watching Chen Qingzhu's figure, he slightly furrowed his brow. Such a young and beautiful girl to be the Family Head of the Chens; her power was immense, indeed, but she was bound to face many enemies. Chen's Financial Group, the great family of the Chens, was like a piece of succulent, fatty pork in the eyes of many! Especially now that it seemed to be governed by such a seemingly frail Family Head. Although some high-ranking people knew that Chen Qingzhu had the Martial Dao expert, Qin Xuantian, backing her, that was only known to some top figures. In fact, there were still many who didn't understand why Chen Qingzhu could sit at the helm of the Chens. Naturally, they couldn't help coveting such vast assets and power. This Chen Xicheng who had just returned from America was one of those harboring such thoughts. Clearly, Chen Xicheng either didn't know Qin Heng was backing Chen Qingzhu, or he simply didn't take Qin Heng seriously!!

It seems I need to showcase my strength, Qin Heng thought to himself. It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but rather for the safety of Chen Qingzhu and for better control over the Chens. After all, Chen Qingzhu was his secretary, and he couldn't let his secretary suffer any grievances. Strength! It still needed to be showcased!! Only by letting these ignorant mortals witness Qin Heng's terrifying power could he truly intimidate them!!

"Welcome, Director Chen."

On the corridor to the Qianqiu Conference Room, a line of men in black suits, each over six feet tall with imposing statures, totaling ten, stood as security for Chen's Financial Group.

They all bent forward, saluting to welcome the arrival of Chen Qingzhu.

"Mhm," Chen Qingzhu nodded slightly, preparing to walk by.

However, at this moment, a security guard stepped forward, sized up Qin Heng, and stopped him, saying, "Sir, I apologize, but this area belongs to Chen's Financial Group, and the conference room is ahead. Please stop here."

The security guard's tone wasn't harsh, just routine, without personal emotion.

A conference room was, of course, a place outsiders could not enter.

"Chen's Financial Group has no place Mr. Qin can't go," Chen Qingzhu's eyebrows lightly furrowed as she said to the security guard, "Step aside."

What? Mr. Qin?

The security guard was slightly startled, his expression confused, as he was just an ordinary employee of Chen's Financial Group and didn't know who this so-called Mr. Qin was.

Moreover, Chen Xicheng's orders were clear: no one but Chen Qingzhu could pass.

"I'm sorry, Director Chen, but this gentleman cannot pass," the guard still shook his head, completely disregarding Chen Qingzhu's words, and said to Qin Heng, "Sir, please leave immediately, or we may have to take forceful measures against you."

With that said, the remaining nine brawny guards all came over, glaring at Qin Heng with ill-intent, like fierce beasts, ready to attack.

If it were an ordinary person, being stared at by ten men over six feet tall with hostile gazes, they'd probably be scared stiff.

Chen Qingzhu also realized what was happening; her face immediately darkened as she said, "What are you trying to do!? Have you forgotten who I am? Is my word no longer effective?"

"I apologize, Director Chen," the guard chuckled, "Director Cheng asked you to attend a meeting, so he does not want any outsiders involved. You may enter, but this gentleman cannot."

"What are you saying!? Who exactly is the Family Head of the Chens, Chen Xicheng or me?" Chen Qingzhu was so angry that her brows inverted and her body trembled. It wasn't because her authority was being challenged; it was because Qin Heng was being blocked on her account.

For Chen Qingzhu, this was utterly unacceptable!!

In Chen Qingzhu's heart, Qin Heng was an unparalleled deity!

She absolutely would not allow anyone to show the slightest disrespect to Qin Heng!

Now, Chen Xicheng actually wanted to have Qin Heng stopped here, preventing him from entering the conference room!!

In Chen Qingzhu's eyes, this was nothing short of defiling her god! A sin worthy of death!

"I'll give you one last chance, step aside!" Chen Qingzhu took a deep breath and said to the security guard, "If you don't let us through, I'll fire you, right now. No, all ten of you will be fired!!"

"Fire us?" The security guard suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, Director Chen, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The HR Director role is currently held by Director Cheng, and without his consent, you're not qualified to fire us."

He was completely fearless, obviously not afraid of Chen Qingzhu.

Clearly, this security guard believed that Chen Xicheng, as his backer, promised a brighter future than Chen Qingzhu could offer!!

"You, you!!" Chen Qingzhu, pointing at the security guard, was so angry she couldn't get her words out.

"Heh heh, Director Chen, I advise you to be prepared mentally," the security guard sneered. "Right now, in the Qianqiu Conference Room, Director Cheng and the board members are all there. In the future, Chen's Financial Group may not necessarily be yours. Frankly speaking, Director Chen, if I were you, I'd be asking for hundreds of millions in severance compensation to leave, instead of fighting to the death here. After all, you shouldn't touch what doesn't belong to you. Otherwise, playing with fire could mean having no grave to lie in when you die! Please, Director Chen, go ahead. As for this gentleman, brothers, please escort this gentleman away!!"

WHOOSH!!

The remaining nine security guards nodded, their footsteps shifting; they raised their hands, ready to grab Qin Heng!!

"Please, sir!!"

Looking fierce and formidable, the nine security guards glared at Qin Heng, clearly ready to strike if he dared say a word of objection.

"You are going too far!!" Chen Qingzhu was completely infuriated.

However, at that moment, Qin Heng suddenly touched her head and smiled, "Don't be angry, you're my secretary. These few insignificant ants aren't worth your anger."

Chen Qingzhu instantly blushed.

The few security guards, however, were stunned, staring at Qin Heng in disbelief.

What!? What did this kid just say?

He said Chen Qingzhu was his secretary!? Damn it! Has he lost his mind!!

"Hahaha! Is this kid a fool? Or is it that Director Chen likes this particular flavor?"

"Huge news! Director Chen, the pretty boy you're keeping is so distinctive, do you guys enjoy uniform play?"

Since the masks were already off, the security guards didn't hold back anymore, launching into unbridled mockery.

In their eyes, Chen Qingzhu was about to fall from power soon.

The era of Chen Xicheng was coming.

Mocking and insulting Chen Qingzhu was no big deal at all!

"Kid! You're really damn lucky with ladies!" the lead security guard looked at Qin Heng with contempt and sneered, "Come here, call me 'Grandpa' a couple of times, and I'll let you off today."

"Scram!" Qin Heng glanced at him indifferently, his tone cold as ice. "Or die!!"
