The business manager quickly stepped forward to speak. "President Leo, even our CEO Jin personally oversaw this proposal, and with everyone's tireless brainstorming, we can guarantee that this proposal is flawless. Please tell us, what exactly is it that you are not satisfied with?"
Zhang Boxuan completely ignored the business department manager and turned directly to Shan'er.
"Ms. Jin, I truly regret signing this contract with you. You should know how much money I've already invested—ten times more than the assets of your 'Jin' Group. According to Article 21 of the contract: if I'm not satisfied with your proposed plan, I have the right to veto it, and the losses incurred by 'Dinghui's' investment will be fully compensated by the Jin Group." He sneered. "I think this enormous compensation will be enough to shut the Jin Group down!"
Shan'er's heart sank into the sea with a thud. She had clearly seen the loophole, but she hadn't noticed it. It was all her fault for being too careless.
He came prepared, deliberately trying to lure her into his trap!
"The Jin family has really disappointed me! Let's go!" As soon as he moved, the Dinghui staff followed him out of the conference room.
"Please wait a moment," the business manager pleaded, unwilling to give up. "Please give us another chance, President Leo. If you have any complaints about this proposal, please let us know, and we will revise it until you are satisfied!"
Dinghui's assistant stated directly, "Regarding compensation, we will have our lawyers contact you!"
"President Leo, please wait!" The business manager chased after Zhang Boxuan out of the conference room, trying to persuade him to stay.
But he walked away without looking back!
Shan'er suddenly felt dizzy, her limbs went weak, and she collapsed into the chair.
Seven years ago, she stole his child; seven years later, he left her with nothing!

Chapter Eight: "You're Ruthless!" Author: Su Yun
It was late at night.
A meeting with Dinghui during the day had driven the morale of Jin's Enterprises to its lowest point. Even so late at night, several key figures remained to discuss how to salvage the situation. The building was deserted, while Shan'er stayed alone in the president's office, facing her own failure.
Facing the large glass window, she revealed an unprecedented despair. A hint of bitterness and weariness lingered on her once proud face. Her once-proud career was about to come to nothing.
She lost! She lost completely in one fell swoop!
Should she beg him to spare Jin's life? Beg him to leave her a way out for the sake of the child? Maybe he's waiting for her call to plead for mercy right now... No! She can't do it. Compromise is not her style. She'd rather lose decisively than beg anyone!
She wasn't surprised at all by Zhang Boxuan's treatment of her, after all, she was the one who had brought all this trouble upon herself.
Surprisingly, his methods of revenge were so swift and vicious! She had never seen such a cruel and evil side of Zhang Boxuan before; she had never known he could have such a dark side…
She hadn't drunk a drop of water or eaten anything all day. When she started to feel it, her stomach began to cramp, and the sharp pains combined with nausea made her bend over in pain.
She squatted on the ground, burying her face in her knees. Unconsciously, she could no longer stop the tears from flowing, and all her pretense and bravado crumbled.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she wiped away her tears and tried to stand up by holding onto the table leg. Suddenly, the world spun around her, her vision blurred, and a piercing pain shot through her stomach, so intense that she couldn't bear it any longer.
She immediately fell backward onto the carpet, unconscious...
Shan'er woke up in an unfamiliar room. Looking around, she immediately sat up nervously, about to get out of bed, when the maid, who happened to be pushing open the door, stopped her.
"Madam, you need to rest." The maid smiled at her, carrying a bowl of porridge and several side dishes.
How did she become a lady?
"Where is this?" Looking around the room, the equipment was not only new, but also looked expensive.
"The boss's room." The maid smiled gently, but didn't explain anything further.
"Gang leader? Who's the gang leader?" She didn't know any gang leader at all.
The maid was somewhat surprised by her question and couldn't help but say, "Isn't the boss your beloved, Madam?"
"My love?" How could this be! They must have mistaken me for someone else!
Shan'er pondered a way to escape; she had to get away as soon as possible.
After thinking for a few seconds, she looked up and smiled, "I want to get down and walk around." The moment her feet touched the ground, she forcefully pushed the maid aside and rushed out the door—
The sight outside made her mouth slightly open, and she unconsciously stopped in her tracks. Two rows of men dressed in identical black suits stood at attention, forming two lines, like a scene from a gangster movie.
The burly men in black suits bowed deeply to her and shouted in unison, "Hello, Sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law?" When did she become sister-in-law?
Who exactly is that gang leader?
"I'm not your sister-in-law!" She immediately dashed downstairs, and surprisingly no one dared to stop her.
Just as she was relieved that no one was chasing her, she bumped right into Zhang Boxuan at the corner of the stairs!
He wore sunglasses and had a cold expression. Behind him were three or four men in black suits, exuding a faint aura of menace. He was completely different from the usually gentle "Dean" Zhang and the shrewd and capable Leo.
Upon seeing him, she immediately launched into a tactful greeting. "Oh! Should I address you as Mr. Zhang, or President Leo?"
He threw his head back and laughed loudly. "You've forgotten one title!"
"What do you mean? Are you wearing other masks too?" She stuck her middle finger into his chest forcefully. "Which one is the real you?"
"Don't be rude to our leader!" A man in a black suit behind them couldn't help but shout.
"You're the gang leader, the big boss? That's impressive! But I won't be fooled by you again!"
