My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 28 Regretted?

"What kind of tycoon spends 40,000,000 on clothes in one go? And why choose Fan Sizhe? Our Armani is clearly better and more upscale!" Zhang Ling complained.

An onlooker laughed. "Heh, don’t you know? He went to your Armani store first, but it seems you guys kicked him out. That’s why he came to the Fan Sizhe store."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling was completely stunned. Such a tycoon? I’m not an idiot; how could I possibly have driven him away? She had absolutely no recollection of it. The store had an event today, so there were quite a few people coming and going, and several had been turned away. The most memorable one was Yang Qi. But it couldn’t be him. His company went bankrupt. He’s been washed up for a long time.

Still, driving away an important guest was always trouble. Zhang Ling felt a seed of worry sprout in her heart.

"By the way," another person piped up, "your Mr. Huang and Fan Sizhe’s general agent, Mr. Qin, are rushing over. They said they want to meet this big spender!"

"I’m so jealous. The staff at the Fan Sizhe store will get a huge bonus this time."

"Of course! After a sale this big, Mr. Qin will definitely reward them handsomely."

The surrounding salespeople, all in the same business, were green with envy. Zhang Ling was the most jealous of all. As the store manager, if she had landed that order, her bonus alone would have been 1,000,000. The thought drove her mad with envy.

Just then, two luxury cars pulled into a nearby parking lot. The man who got out of the first car rushed straight into the Fan Sizhe store. It was Mr. Qin, Fan Sizhe’s General Agent for Kang City. From the second car emerged Mr. Huang, Armani’s General Agent.

Seeing Mr. Huang, Zhang Ling and her staff hurried over to greet him. Bowing low like a fawning lapdog, she simpered, "Mr. Huang, what brings you here?"

SMACK!

The moment he saw Zhang Ling, Mr. Huang’s fury erupted. He struck her hard across the face. "Idiot! Stupid pig! Utterly brainless!"

Zhang Ling was dumbfounded. Clutching her reddening cheek, she cried, "Mr. Huang, you can’t just hit me for no reason!"

SMACK!

Another resounding slap landed. Mr. Huang jabbed a finger at her nose and roared, "No reason? You fool, do you have any idea what a terrible mistake you’ve made?"

"Please, Mr. Huang, just tell me! I really don’t know what I did wrong!" Zhang Ling pleaded, feeling deeply wronged. The other staff members looked on, completely bewildered by Mr. Huang’s behavior.

SMACK!

He slapped her again, causing both of her cheeks to swell up.

She burst into sobs. "Mr. Huang... what did I do wrong?"

"You still feel wronged? Do you have any idea who that distinguished guest in the Fan Sizhe store is?" Mr. Huang bellowed.

"I know... I heard someone spent 40,000,000 on clothes in one go," Zhang Ling nodded. But what does that have to do with me? Could what those people said be true? Did we really drive away the VIP?

"Then listen up and listen carefully!" Mr. Huang roared. "That VIP’s first choice was our Armani store! I heard he was a long-time Armani customer!"

"How could that be!" Zhang Ling was floored. It was true. The others were just as shocked.

"That’s impossible!" Zhang Ling shook her head frantically. "We definitely didn’t drive away any VIPs! We only shooed away the paupers!"

"Look at you! With that attitude, how are you even in business? How are you selling clothes? I’m telling you, he was driven out by you! You even called him a pauper and a beggar!" Mr. Huang raged. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

BOOM!

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck Zhang Ling’s mind. She was utterly dumbfounded. She had indeed driven away quite a few people today. But she had only called one person a pauper and a beggar. It couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it? No, it can’t be!

"You pig-headed fools! Because of your stupidity, not only did we miss out on a massive sale, but you also made me offend Miss Lin from the Lin Family of Jingzhou!" This was what truly infuriated Mr. Huang. Missing the sale was one thing, but offending Lin Qingxuan was a death sentence. A single word from her could destroy him. "I could kill you! I could grind your bones to dust! You bastards are trying to get me killed!"

Miss Lin? Lin Qingxuan? Zhang Ling and the others were even more confused. They hadn’t offended any Miss Lin.

At that moment, the clothes from the Fan Sizhe store had been packaged. A commotion arose as a crowd emerged, surrounding the big spender. Mr. Qin followed beside them, bowing and smiling obsequiously.

"The tycoon is coming out!"

"What tycoon? He’s a real sugar daddy!" someone shouted.

Mr. Huang scrambled forward like a dog wagging its tail. "Miss Lin! Miss Lin, I was wrong! I was truly wrong! It’s because of my poor management that my staff made such a grave error. I’m on my knees! Please, spare me this one time!"

Mr. Huang dropped directly to the ground and knelt. Who cared about face at a time like this? His life was on the line.

Mr. Qin introduced Mr. Huang to Lin Qingxuan, who said coolly, "You shouldn’t be begging me. You should be begging the gentleman beside me."

Mr. Huang turned to Yang Qi and kowtowed repeatedly. "Sir, we were truly in the wrong! I beg you, be the bigger man and please spare me this once!"

Yang Qi was filled with emotion. So this is what reality is like. If he had come alone today, this shocking scene would never have happened. With Lin Qingxuan standing there, she was like a goddess, her deterrent power simply overwhelming.

Seeing Yang Qi remain silent, Mr. Huang continued, "Honorable sir, please allow me to atone. I will fire those uncivilized fools immediately! Those pig-headed snobs who look down on people!"

He then shot up and violently dragged Zhang Ling over.

A contemptuous smile played on Yang Qi’s lips as he looked at Zhang Ling and her colleagues.

At that moment, Zhang Ling finally recognized Yang Qi. Terror drained the color from her face, and her entire body began to tremble. It really is him. The man who spent 40,000,000 on clothes is actually Yang Qi. But... how is he with Miss Lin? Damn it! If I had known, I never would have stopped him!

Yang Qi remained silent, his gaze cool and indifferent.

With a thud, Zhang Ling collapsed to her knees. The other staff members who had insulted Yang Qi quickly knelt as well. The situation was terrifying. We actually called a man like this a pauper and a beggar? Then what are we? We’re less than nothing.

Regret. Immense, soul-crushing regret filled them. If only there was a potion for regret in this world.

"It’s all Zhang Ling’s fault! If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have said such awful things!"

"Exactly! Zhang Ling has a venomous mouth!"

The others immediately started cursing and blaming Zhang Ling.

She trembled uncontrollably, unable to offer a single word of rebuttal. It was true. She had been the one to start the mockery and ridicule directed at Yang Qi.
