The people around had mostly arrived. Li Huailong clasped his hands and said, "Director Jiang, you are our guest and younger than us, so how about we send one person to compete with you?"
"The result will be the same, do as you wish!" Jiang Jun's demeanor clearly indicated he was just here to stretch his body.
The crowd was puzzled; could he really be a fool? Perhaps he didn't even know how formidable our boss was?
Jiang Jun's relaxed appearance also angered Li Huaihu. Unlike his brother, he didn't care about politeness and kicked towards Jiang Jun.
From the move, everyone understood that this was someone who had received formal training. If Jiang Jun took that kick, he would surely be seriously injured or even killed... The sales manager turned pale with fear. Some in the crowd began to imagine the gruesome sight of Jiang Jun falling to the ground.
Jiang Jun seemed either slow to react or completely dazed; he stood there without moving, showing no intention of dodging. As a result, everyone saw Li Huaihu's kick land solidly on Jiang Jun...
It was disastrous! People immediately realized that Jiang Jun would be in big trouble!
"Thud!" Someone fell heavily to the ground.
What happened? The crowd rubbed their eyes; it couldn't be wrong! Jiang Jun was still standing there, while it was Li Huaihu who had fallen hard to the ground!
Jiang Jun stood there smiling, as if nothing had happened.
Li Huaihu looked quite unfortunate, lying on the ground and groaning "ouch," appearing to have broken several ribs. A few employees rushed over to help him to the side.
At that moment, Li Huailong was shocked! He couldn't understand how his brother's skills could lead to such a result. Even more puzzling was that he hadn't been able to see how Jiang Jun had made his move!
He realized he had encountered a true expert! A real master! He might not even be on the same level!
What should he do? Admit defeat directly? With so many of his own employees present, clearly he couldn't afford to lose face! Now that he knew he couldn't win, he still had to step up!
Li Huailong stopped using his feet and instead used both palms, relying more on speed than strength as he struck towards Jiang Jun. He knew that the harder he hit, the more likely he would get hurt.
This time, the sales manager no longer worried about Jiang Jun. Everyone widened their eyes, eager to see how Jiang Jun would respond to this move.
Strangely enough, Jiang Jun still hardly moved; he merely raised his hand slightly, and Li Huailong felt as if he had been pushed back with immense force, quickly falling backward and landing flat on his back!
However, Li Huailong quickly got back up. This indicated that he hadn't been seriously injured. This was because Jiang Jun had shown mercy—firstly because Li Huailong's move wasn't fierce, and secondly because he wanted him around to settle the payment issue.
Li Huailong clasped his hands again and said, "Director Jiang, I admit defeat! Please come inside to discuss!" He addressed everyone: "You all can return to your posts!"
The crowd dispersed. Li Huailong arranged for two people to take Li Huaihu to the hospital.
Back in the conference room, Li Huailong was much more polite. Despite losing, he did not appear dejected at all; this made Jiang Jun secretly nod in approval—he felt this man had talent! He could bend and stretch!
"Director Jiang, since I am the defeated party, please feel free to give any orders!"
" director Li," Jiang Jun replied, "let's keep things clear! Just because I can fight doesn't mean I can give orders at will. I still have to operate within the framework of the law. I'm here only for the matter of the outstanding payment. You just need to settle the payment. If you maliciously default on payment and we go to court, we will win! But that would just be time-consuming and exhausting!"
"I will arrange the payment right away!" Li Huailong picked up the phone on the table and made an internal call. Soon, the financial manager from the other side arrived.
"Pay off the debts of Dongsheng Group today!"
The financial manager agreed. He had just witnessed Jiang Jun's skills and knew that his boss must have a lot of respect for him.
Jiang Jun asked his sales manager to go along for the reconciliation.
Only Li Huailong and Jiang Jun were left in the conference room.
"Director Jiang, you are so young. I wonder where your skills come from?" Li Huailong wanted to satisfy his curiosity! After all, his unit gathered the top experts in the country, and he had never thought much of martial arts masters after returning. Why did he feel so outmatched in front of Jiang Jun today?
"This is not something that can be explained easily!" Jiang Jun truly found it hard to articulate.
Li Huailong thought Jiang Jun was unwilling to share, so he let it go.
After a while, the sales manager returned and reported to Jiang Jun that everything had been reconciled and the payment had been completed.
"Good, then let's head back, director Li. Farewell!"
"Wait, Director Jiang, could you do me a favor and have lunch with me before leaving?"
Jiang Jun knew that Li Huailong's request came from genuine interest. He clearly wanted to befriend him. As partners, having a closer relationship was certainly beneficial! Moreover, the Li Brothers were not ordinary individuals.
"Alright then! Just a little something; let's not waste too much!" Jiang Jun agreed.
Li Huailong was delighted and took both of them to a nearby restaurant.
" director Li, you’re here!" The restaurant owner was very familiar with Li Huailong.
"Give me a small private room for three!"
"Sure. Did you bring two guests? Why isn’t your Brother Hu with you? Aren't you usually together?"
Li Huailong didn’t know how to respond. He wanted to say that his brother was injured, but who would believe that? Everyone around knew how formidable the brothers were. He thought of other excuses but wasn’t in the habit of lying and couldn’t come up with anything on the spot.
"Someone got injured; I saw Vice President Li take two employees to the hospital!" Jiang Jun said casually.
"Oh, so you took someone to the hospital!" The restaurant owner naturally assumed it was an employee who was hurt.
Li Huailong couldn’t help but smile wryly upon hearing this and admired Jiang Jun's quick thinking. His response was both factual and acceptable to the restaurant owner, even if it wasn’t entirely accurate!
Once inside the private room, Li Huailong let Jiang Jun sit at the head of the table. Jiang Jun didn’t hesitate and sat down comfortably.
During their drinking session, the restaurant owner came over to toast Li Huailong! When he pushed open the door to the private room, he felt a bit puzzled as to why that young man was sitting at the head of the table. Perhaps he didn’t understand etiquette and just sat there casually!
"Director Li, I would like to raise a glass to you, thanking you and your brother for always taking care of my business!"
"Boss Pan, you can toast, but first, you need to toast my esteemed guest, Director Jiang!"
What? This kid is really an esteemed guest? Is he sitting in the right place?
Just a young guy, why does Director Li show him so much respect?
Boss Pan thought to himself, but since Li Huailong said so, as a person in the business world, he wouldn't let his true feelings show on his face.
"Alright, Director Jiang, I toast to you! I'll drink, and you can do as you wish!"
"Thank you, Boss Pan! I'll drink too!" Jiang Jun downed his drink.
Damn, this kid can hold his liquor so well?
The restaurant owner then toasted Li Huailong and the sales manager before leaving.
After lunch, Jiang Jun and the sales manager returned to the office.
As soon as they got back to the company, Zhuyong approached Jiang Jun with a tricky issue.
