"What nonsense are you talking? Have you lost your mind?"
Manager Chen was stunned for over a minute before recovering from his shock. With a face full of confusion, he began to ask Song Qiao, "Honey, that Gao Min woman won't find a lunatic to help her, will she?"
Madam Chen also chimed in with sarcasm from the side.
"If you don't apologize, you won't take a single step out of this school today," Song Qiao said in a calm tone, completely ignoring them.
"I'd like to see what else you crazy people can do to me," Manager Zhao, seeing the principal walking towards them, suddenly felt a surge of courage.
"Then I'll remind you too, killing someone who's considered crazy isn't against the law."
Song Qiao's expression suddenly turned grim. He took a step forward towards Mr. and Mrs. Chen, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Chen Yan was instantly flustered. Song Qiao's reckless behavior sent chills down his spine, and he quickly retreated a few steps, afraid Song Qiao might suddenly attack him.
"Nothing else, just hurry up and apologize to my child."
Seeing their reaction, Song Qiao pressed forward a few more steps.
"I'm warning you, don't do anything rash. I know plenty of police friends. This is illegal, and if you get caught, you'll go to jail for a long time."
Chen Yan said tremblingly. For some reason, a trace of regret suddenly appeared in his heart. With his years of experience in the business world, he had a keen intuition for such situations.
"Manager Chen, I heard that Xiang Piaopiao, who you're collaborating with, wants to introduce you to a tofu processing plant. Is there such a thing?"
Seeing that the other party was trembling with fear, Song Qiao stopped his steps and asked with a half-smile.
"You, how do you know?"
Manager Chen's face instantly turned surprised. The business he was discussing today was precisely related to this matter, and he couldn't believe Song Qiao knew about it.
"Then do you believe that with just one phone call, I can make sure this business deal of yours never succeeds? Not only that, but all the tofu processing plants in our entire city will stop cooperating with you."
Song Qiao glanced at him and continued to speak calmly, ignoring his surprise.
"Stop bragging. I don't believe you have that ability."
Before Chen Yan could fully react to Song Qiao's words, his wife couldn't help but start mocking him from the side.
In her opinion, if Song Qiao truly had such power, he wouldn't have come to reason with them from the start.
She knew very well that this incident was her son banding together with others to bully someone at school. However, her family was used to being arrogant, and even if they were in the wrong, they wouldn't bow down and apologize to this country bumpkin.
"Fine, then I'll have it your way. I hope you won't regret it when the time comes."
After speaking, Song Qiao took out his phone and dialed Li Lili's number.
Although he hadn't been overly concerned with company cooperation matters recently, it didn't mean he was unaware of the company's future business directions.
Coincidentally, Manager Chen's company had just run straight into his path, so he wouldn't let Manager Chen off easily no matter what.
"Lili, are you supposed to be discussing a cooperation with a processing plant called 'Da Chen' today?"
As soon as Song Qiao answered the phone, he got straight to the point.
"Yes, boss. The other party is a small processing plant. I sent an assistant to discuss it with them this afternoon. Why are you suddenly asking about this, boss?"
"Is there a problem with this Da Chen processing plant?"
"That's right. From now on, Xiang Piaopiao will permanently cancel cooperation with this Da Chen."
"Also, inform the downstream distributors that anyone who dares to accept Da Chen's goods is going against Xiang Piaopiao and will have all cooperation canceled."
Song Qiao hung up the phone without waiting for Li Lili's reply.
"Alright, stop pretending."
Manager Chen frowned and continued to say dismissively, "Your pretense only gets you 99 points. I hope you can be more realistic in the future and not fool yourself. You, with your current demeanor, claiming to be Xiang Piaopiao, why don't you just claim to be the chairman of Xiang Piaopiao?"
As soon as Manager Chen finished speaking, Principal Fang and his wife, who had rushed over, burst into laughter, looking at Song Qiao as if he were a clown.
Song Qiao ignored them and glanced at his watch.
"Ten."
"Nine."
"Eight."
...
Seeing him like this, even Manager Chen on the side couldn't help but chuckle.
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
As the countdown ended, the moment Song Qiao uttered "One," Manager Chen's phone rang. He looked down, and it was Wang Yuan, the contact person for the cooperation with Xiang Piaopiao.
He raised his head and looked at Song Qiao in surprise, marveling at the coincidence. Then, he cautiously answered the phone.
"Hello, Ms. Wang, it's Xiao Chen." His submissive demeanor was a stark contrast to his arrogance just moments ago.
"Chen Yan, Xiang Piaopiao is canceling our cooperation with your Da Chen. There will be no further cooperation. You're on your own," Wang Yuan said indifferently, ignoring Chen Yan's fawning and relaying the instructions from Manager Li.
"What?"
"Ms. Wang, didn't we agree yesterday? Why the sudden cancellation?"
Chen Yan was so agitated that he almost dropped his phone. He forcefully suppressed his fear and asked Wang Yuan with a trembling voice.
"Why are you asking me? Who should I ask? Our Manager Li just said this is a direct order from our Chairman Song, with no room for negotiation."
Wang Yuan then hung up the phone impatiently.
He left Chen Yan standing there, holding his phone, completely stunned.
"Chairman Song's personal order," this phrase immediately made him recall the phone call Song Qiao had just made. Combined with Song Qiao's self-introduction at the beginning, his legs felt like they were going to give out, and he started to tremble.
"What's wrong, honey? Who called?"
Madam Chen also noticed her husband's strange behavior and asked anxiously.
"Wife, Xiang Piaopiao, they've suddenly canceled the cooperation with us. And they said it was Chairman Song's personal order."
Chen Yan's face was pale, his eyes filled with despair. He had never imagined that the person he had offended today was such a formidable figure.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen covered her mouth and exclaimed. Her husband's business had been exceptionally smooth in recent days, all thanks to the cooperation with Xiang Piaopiao. With Xiang Piaopiao's name, their sales had more than doubled. Just as they were looking forward to further cooperation, they were now unilaterally canceling it. This made it difficult for her to accept this harsh reality.
