Changsun Xiong's expression was grave.
He did not want to lose to the Vice President.
Not having obtained the evidence yet made Changsun Xiong extremely worried, yet there was nothing he could do.
"There is about an hour left until the meeting. You don't need to worry. Master Gui knows we urgently need evidence, and he will definitely find a way to obtain it," Jiang Yi said.
Changsun Xiong nodded.
Changsun Xiong felt as if every moment was an eternity, each second an agony.
This feeling of waiting made him extremely uncomfortable.
Time continued to tick by.
An hour passed quickly.
The time was nine o'clock.
Jiang Yi and Changsun Xiong had to go to the meeting room now.
"Can we delay it by another hour or two?" Jiang Yi asked Changsun Xiong.
"We can!"
Changsun Xiong said, "But doing so might cause dissatisfaction among everyone, especially the Vice President. He will surely take the lead in causing trouble."
"Don't worry about the Vice President. Let's delay it by two more hours!" Jiang Yi said.
"Alright!"
Changsun Xiong nodded, then said to Xu Yun, "Go to the meeting room and tell everyone that my old ailment has recurred, and I've fainted. Tell them to hold the meeting two hours later."
"Yes!"
Xu Yun responded and left the office.
Jiang Yi took out his phone, preparing to call Master Gui.
"No need to call. I've been calling this old fellow non-stop since yesterday. I suspect he's gotten annoyed with me and turned off his phone. I've called him multiple times just now, but none of them went through," Changsun Xiong said, sounding angry.
Jiang Yi heard this and put away his phone.
There were two hours left; this was the last chance.
If Master Gui still couldn't handle the Vice President's brother-in-law, they would face a complete defeat today.
"Knock, knock..."
A knock sounded from outside the office.
"Come in!"
Changsun Xiong called out.
As soon as Changsun Xiong finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and the Vice President walked in.
Seeing the Vice President arrive, Changsun Xiong's brows furrowed.
"What are you here for?"
Changsun Xiong asked indifferently.
"Your secretary just said that your old ailment has recurred and the meeting is postponed for two hours, so I came to see if you are genuinely ill or faking it."
The Vice President sneered, "Looking at you, you don't seem ill at all."
"That's right, I'm not ill. I just want to postpone the meeting by two hours. I am the President of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and I have the right to do so. Therefore, you are not qualified to question me." Changsun Xiong said sternly.
"I'm not here to question you; I'm here to find Jiang Yi!"
After speaking, the Vice President's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi.
"My brother-in-law was captured by you, right? I know you want to get evidence from him. I advise you not to waste your time. Release my brother-in-law quickly because he will not betray me. He is tough as nails; even if you torture him to death, he will not betray me!"
"Is that so?" Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
"That's right, I have great confidence in my brother-in-law. Release him immediately, or you won't live through today!"
The Vice President threatened.
Jiang Yi chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" the Vice President asked angrily.
"Your threats are useless to me. I will not release him," Jiang Yi said.
Killing intent filled the Vice President's eyes.
"President Changsun, you are the President of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, yet you resort to such despicable means to capture my brother-in-law. Aren't you afraid I'll report this to the media?"
"I want everyone to see how despicable the President of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce truly is." The Vice President said to Changsun Xiong.
Seeing that his threats against Jiang Yi were useless, the Vice President directly turned to threaten Changsun Xiong.
Changsun Xiong's brows furrowed.
If this matter got out, it would indeed damage Changsun Xiong's reputation.
"Vice President, your methods are too base!"
Jiang Yi sneered, "I was the one who captured your brother-in-law. This has nothing to do with President Changsun. Your threats against President Changsun are useless."
"Also, you said you would report this to the media. Go ahead then. We won't stop you. Let's see who ends up at a disadvantage."
Hearing this, the Vice President's expression darkened.
"Jiang Yi, if you don't release my brother-in-law, I will fight you to the death!"
After saying this to Jiang Yi, the Vice President turned his gaze back to Changsun Xiong.
"The meeting must begin in two hours. I hope you won't find any more excuses to delay it. No matter how long you delay, you won't be able to obtain any evidence."
With that, the Vice President walked directly out of the office.
Changsun Xiong's lips twitched in anger.
"That scoundrel of a Vice President is too arrogant. He's just a Vice President, yet he dares to challenge me." Changsun Xiong cursed furiously.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
The Vice President was indeed too arrogant.
"Why didn't you stop him just now!"
Changsun Xiong roared at Xu Yun.
"I couldn't stop him..." Xu Yun said helplessly.
"Useless!"
Changsun Xiong cursed.
Changsun Xiong could only vent his anger on Xu Yun now.
Xu Yun felt wronged but dared not speak.
This was the first time he had been so furious with Xu Yun.
Xu Yun was always cautious and handled Changsun Xiong's tasks perfectly.
Changsun Xiong rarely lost his temper with Xu Yun.
"President Changsun, please calm down. This is not Xu Yun's fault. Xu Yun is just a secretary, while the Vice President is a high-ranking official. It's understandable that Xu Yun couldn't stop the Vice President," Jiang Yi said, trying to placate him.
Hearing Jiang Yi's words, Changsun Xiong slowly calmed down.
"Mr. Jiang, you must be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat!"
Changsun Xiong said and left the office.
After Changsun Xiong left, Xu Yun said to Jiang Yi with deep gratitude, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for speaking up for me just now."
"You're welcome. We've known each other for quite some time and are considered friends. Naturally, I wouldn't want to see you wronged," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang, is your Tiansheng Group still hiring?" Xu Yun suddenly asked.
This question made Jiang Yi pause.
"Tiansheng Group is in great need of talent right now. If any of your friends are looking for a job, you can recommend them to me!" Jiang Yi said.
"The person I want to recommend is not my friend; it's myself!" Xu Yun said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was taken aback again.
"I know your capabilities. If you could join Tiansheng Group, you would be a great help. However, there's something I don't quite understand. You hold a certain status in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and many people would wish to be President Changsun's secretary. Are you willing to leave?" Jiang Yi asked.
