Chapter 324 The Son Has Arrived
Not long after, the shop door was pushed open forcefully, and a tall figure strode in.
The man who arrived was Ma Lide's son, Ma Yifei. He was dressed in a sharp suit, with a cold expression and eyes that revealed a hint of weariness and helplessness.
Upon entering the store, he glanced at the two people facing off, frowned slightly, nodded apologetically to those around him, and then walked straight toward Ma Lide.
"Dad, what exactly happened?"
Ma Yifei asked in a low voice, his tone containing both reproach and protectiveness towards his father.
As if he had found his pillar of support, Ma Lide immediately jumped up and down, pointing at Song Qianyi and shouting.
"It's this girl. You'd better teach her a lesson."
Ma Yifei then looked up at Song Qianyi. The words he was about to say stopped abruptly the moment he saw her face. A look of shock and disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he blurted out.
"Mr. Song... Mr. Song? What are you doing here?" The question surprised everyone present.
Ma Lide's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and he stammered.
"Son, you...you've mistaken her for someone else, haven't you? She's just a little brat who's here to cause trouble, how could she be your President Song?"
Ma Yifei ignored his father and strode to Song Qianyi, bowing slightly with utmost respect.
Although Song Qianyi doesn't come to the company often, her face is known to everyone in the group.
Ma Yifei was filled with remorse. He never imagined that his troublemaking father would provoke the big boss of the group this time.
Thinking about how his father used his name to swagger around outside, he felt a chill of fear, afraid that Song Qianyi would hold him accountable for this and ruin his hard-earned career in the group.
"President Song, I am so sorry. My father is immature. If he has offended you in any way, please forgive him. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Ma Yifei's voice trembled slightly, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his back was straight as he tried to show his sincerity and respect to Song Qianyi.
Song Qianyi's expression remained unchanged. She scrutinized Ma Yifei's face for a moment before speaking calmly.
"Manager Ma, right? Your father has been suppressing competitors and squeezing out new stores on this restaurant street. He has been forcing people to buy ingredients and even dared to use the group's name to bully others. His methods are truly remarkable."
Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a hammer blow, making Ma Lide and his son's faces grow increasingly grim.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding diners were taken aback at first, and then burst into a low murmur of discussion.
"So this boss really did a lot of unethical things. Well, he's been caught red-handed now."
"This girl is actually the CEO of Yitian Group. No wonder she's so confident. Ma Lide is going to be in big trouble now."
The staff members also looked surprised and started whispering among themselves.
"I never expected this person to be the president of Yitian Group! No wonder the director treated her differently."
"This Dong Taoran is really lucky; his good friend is the president of a large corporation."
Those who followed Zhou Anshan also began to whisper among themselves.
A young man stared wide-eyed, his expression a mixture of surprise and delight.
"I never expected this young girl to have them completely under her thumb. I was wondering who she was because of her strong aura. Turns out she's the head of Yitian Group. Now Ma Lide definitely won't dare to act recklessly again."
"Yes, we run a small business and we've been bullied terribly by Ma Lide. He's ruined our supply channels and often steals our customers with his underhanded tricks. This time, he's finally given us a chance to vent our anger."
“Look at Ma Lide’s son. Before, he was so arrogant because he was a manager at Yitian Group. He couldn’t stand anyone else. Now, he’s as obedient as a quail in front of President Song. This is what you call karma.”
Upon hearing Song Qianyi's words, Ma Yifei felt the sweat on his forehead roll down even more rapidly.
He raised his hand to wipe his sweat, his voice trembling slightly but sincere, and hurriedly replied.
"President Song, I know that my father's actions were a huge mistake, causing a lot of trouble for our fellow restaurant owners on this street and tarnishing the group's reputation. I feel extremely guilty."
"However, I am not aware of what my father did. Rest assured, I will immediately take action to deal with this matter, and make my father personally apologize to each of the wronged merchants. He will also compensate the suppliers who suffered losses due to his malicious price-cutting at reasonable market prices. We will not shirk any of the economic responsibilities he should bear."
