Gan Qi was filled with regret at this moment.

She originally invited Zhang Xing to dinner to keep Meng Yan in check and to make things easier for herself.

She felt really tired these past two days, and she was exhausted from dealing with men.

Unexpectedly, the two of them argued fiercely at the dinner table; neither of them was easy to deal with.

She regretted agreeing to the meal, and even more so, she regretted letting the two of them sit at the same table eating hot pot.

Gan Qi knew that Meng Yan was a man who didn't show his emotions and seemed reserved, but in reality, he was a strong-willed person. He might already be holding a grudge, and she wondered if he would make things difficult for Zhang Xing later.

At the same time, Zhang Xing was the kind of person who was rather arrogant and didn't know his own limitations.

Little did Zhang Xing know that the person sitting in front of him was none other than the president of the Meng Group himself, who was simply showing off his superiority and inciting hatred.

If this continues, the two might become enemies.

Gan Qi took a deep breath, pondering how to finish the meal quickly.

She's so exhausted!

As luck would have it, Zhang Xing suddenly spoke up again at this moment:

"I'm sorry, maybe my words just now weren't appropriate. You think I was showing off... but that's not true at all! I'm genuinely happy and want to share this good news with everyone, after all, I've encountered a major opportunity in my life."

Gan Qi thought to herself: Isn't this just showing off?

Zhang Xing's face revealed a smile befitting a successful person:

"Our company will be part of the Meng Group from now on. We'll be merging into such a large company and coming into contact with big shots. I'm really looking forward to it. It's like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. This is a huge opportunity in my life!"

Meng Yan said coldly, "How do you know this is a great opportunity in your life, and not a Waterloo?"

Such blatant sarcasm caused Zhang Xing's smile to falter.

"What do you mean?"

Meng Yan: "You seem very confident that you can stay in this company for a long time. How do you know if you'll be on the next layoff list?"

Upon hearing this, Gan Qi and Wen Wen, who were standing nearby, both gasped in shock.

Does he mean... Zhang Xing will be laid off after the acquisition?

For Meng Yan, given his status, to say something like that doesn't sound like a joke.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xing was completely unaware of his dangerous situation.

He saw that Meng Yan was speaking so unkindly and felt that he was clearly jealous of him!

"Mr. Meng, I can understand how you feel... I heard you also work for a big company. How big is it? You didn't even have a wedding house when you got married, so I suppose your treatment at the company wasn't very good!"

Zhang Xing sat up straight, beaming with pride.

"I'm different. I already made a down payment on a nice villa in the city center! In terms of overall strength, I can easily beat you."

"You don't need to be jealous that our company was acquired by the Meng Group. When a man's career is on a roll, even if he does nothing, everything will go smoothly... Once this acquisition is successful, my salary will at least double. I know you're not happy, but without comparison, there's no hurt."

Meng Yan was utterly speechless.

This person is so arrogant, they get all cocky and self-important.

Zhang Xing: "Honestly, the connections I'll make in the future are something you can't compare to!"

Meng Yan looked at him more and more like a clown: "Oh?"

Zhang Xing smiled and said, "You may not know this, but actually... I know the president of the Meng Group, Young Master Meng."

These words shocked everyone at the table.

"what?"

Even Meng Yan was stunned.

Zhang Xing: "Young Master Meng, Meng Tingxun! I know him very well."

Now it was Meng Yan's turn to be unable to hold back, and he let out a cold snort.

"Did I hear correctly?"

The atmosphere at the table became somewhat awkward.

Gan Qi and Wen Wen looked at Zhang Xing with incredulous eyes at the same time: "You know him?"

Seeing the surprise in their eyes, Zhang Heng felt a surge of pride.

Hmph, jealous, aren't you? Envious, aren't you?

I knew they would react this way!

Especially the guy next to him named Meng Yan, he was so frightened that he became completely sluggish.

That's exactly what we wanted!

In fact, Zhang Xing had never met Young Master Meng in person.

If he had truly seen it before, he couldn't possibly fail to recognize the person standing before him.

Given his status and position, he had no right to speak on equal terms with the Meng family.

However, at a large conference a long time ago, when the company's CEO was discussing business with the Meng Group, Zhang Xing saw Meng Shao leaving in his personal Rolls-Royce from afar—he had only ever seen his car before.

He hadn't even seen Meng Shao's face, but in order to save face, he boasted that he had met Meng Shao.

“I’ve always kept a low profile. I didn’t want to say this because I was afraid it would scare you… I’m very close to Young Master Meng, and he takes good care of me.”

Meng Yan continued to look coldly at Zhang Xing:

"Really? How well do you know each other?"

Zhang Xing: "There are many things I would not understand even if I told you! In short, Young Master Meng has taken good care of me and said he would help me in the future."

Meng Yan narrowed his eyes, suddenly deciding he didn't want to pay any more attention to him.

Arguing with someone like that only makes you look like you have nothing better to do and lowers your own standards.

This person lies without thinking; he's destined to amount to nothing.

However, Zhang Xing lying wasn't all bad; at least it allowed his wife to see his true character.

With this comparison, his wife will definitely feel that her character is better than Zhang Xing's.

Very well, let him keep showing off.

What a clown!
