Thank you Kofi-supporter for the kofi!! Otherwise this chapter would have been split into 2 parts!! Enjoy~
During these days, President Jiao has been delayed by Big Dick Zhang quite a bit, but fortunately, everything at Bajiao was operating as usual. After all, under Jiao Qi’s strict requirements, the entire company’s operation mechanism was very perfect. Even when the president was not around, there were four vice presidents who could share the workload.
Of course, there were still many matters beyond the authority of the vice presidents that must be personally handled by Jiao Qi. Just as he entered the president’s office, he noticed a stack of documents waiting to be signed.
Jiao Qi sat down and listened to Yu Yuan’s report while quickly browsing the documents awaiting to be signed.
“In a Bajiao live broadcast: a child gave the anchor a reward of one hundred thousand yuan, the parents reported it to the police, and someone on social media bought coverage of the incident. The legal department is asking whether you want to directly refund or follow the process.”
“Follow the process.” Jiao Qi didn’t even furrow his brow, quickly approving eight financial forms, pulling out the one for the refund of one hundred thousand yuan, and not approving it. “Go find out who bought the coverage.”
Yu Yuan took the sheet and stamped two “not approved” seals on it, put it into a folder, and continued with the next matter: “For Bajiao video, last month’s copyright purchase list included three TV dramas from the American BBQ TV station. The other party sent an email over the weekend, saying they sent a representative coming to discuss cooperation with us. I confirmed over the phone this morning that the person is already on their way.”
Jiao Qi’s hand holding the pen paused for a moment. He had seen that email in the car this morning. When they initially proposed the purchase, the response from the other side wasn’t very enthusiastic. He spent two weeks exchanging emails to discuss the contract with no result. Sending someone over might indicate they wanted to use the opportunity to recommend more shows for Bajiao to buy, but the sudden decision to come over was quite different from BBQ’s previous style of doing things.
“Did they mention who they’re sending?” When things go out of the ordinary, something unusual will happen.
“It’s a senior executive in charge of promoting overseas copyrights, didn’t mention the name, just the surname Flores. I checked, and the owner of this TV station also has the surname Flores.”
Given that Mr. Flores was a media tycoon in the United States, it was unlikely for him to personally handle copyright promotions. It’s probably his son or nephew. They mentioned on the phone that they would arrive tomorrow morning. Due to time constraints, he wanted to discuss business over lunch and expressed appreciation for Chinese cuisine.
If the guest mentioned food, he can’t refuse to eat. As for Mr. Flores’s son or nephew, Jiao Qi showed up personally.
“Arrange it then, find a Chinese restaurant. Ask the legal department to prepare a draft contract and give it to me before getting off work.” Jiao Qi wasn’t very fond of such sudden guests, as they disrupted his work plans. However, when guests come, he couldn’t just leave them hanging.
“Okay.” Yu Yuan replied with a smile. Finding food was something he excelled at the most.
After a busy afternoon, he finally managed to handle all the tasks that needed to be handled. When it was time to get off work, Jiao Qi closed his computer and rubbed his brows tiredly.
His smart brain chimed with a notification sound.
【Big Dick Zhang: Come down.】
Right at the end of the day, the legal department printed out the drafted contract and handed it over to the president. Because they were afraid of being scolded, they sent a young junior girl to deliver it.
“President, Manager Zhao asked me to deliver the person’s head… ah, no, deliver the contract.” The girl handed over the contract with trembling hands.
Jiao Qi took the contract and walked downstairs while reviewing it.
“It’s just a draft, so it’s all drafted in our favour. If the foreigners can see through it, we’ll wrangle with them later.” The legal affairs girl followed Jiao Qi downstairs, and because of her statement, she received a glance from the president.
“Many foreigners understand Chinese, so don’t say ghost man.” Jiao Qi corrected her. Some words might be casually used in jokes, but if one day spoken unintentionally in front of clients due to habit, it could harm the company’s image.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“Yes.” The legal affairs girl quickly responded. She had initially wanted to say a couple of witty remarks to show off her work ability, but seeing that the president didn’t accept this, she could only shut up and speak less and make less mistakes.

Legal affairs: “…”
Daddy Chenfei, who had the courage to confront his boss, was indeed no ordinary person.
Jiao Qi rubbed his forehead with bulging veins: “Qiangzi, why are you also following this nonsense?”
“That’s how it should be. I’ve seen movies in prison, and that’s how the big bosses go out.” Qiangzi said confidently as he opened the backseat door for Jiao Qi.
“What kind of movies did you watch?”
“《A Better Tomorrow》,《Young and Dangerous》,《Infernal Affairs》”
“……”
Zhang Chenfei leaned against the back seat, his gaze deep as he looked at Jiao Qi, who was endlessly chatting with his little brother, and said in a deep voice, “Get in the car.”
As soon as he got into the car, the little wife was pulled into the arms of the underworld king.
“Why did you call for a driver today?” Jiao Qi didn’t dare to struggle too hard, afraid that Big Dick Zhang would speak nonsense.
“It’s not been peaceful lately.” Zhang Chenfei took one of his little wife’s hands and let him feel the gun hidden inside his suit, “The arms business is too eye-catching. I’m afraid someone might harm you.”
Touching the cool 20-metre mini armour piercing gun, Jiao Qi said: “…I shouldn’t have asked.”
“It’s okay, you can ask. I won’t hide anything you want to know.” The man who overlooked Asia said fearlessly, revealing secrets to the man in his arms. This was the unparalleled favour of the mafia godfather.
“I don’t want to know anything.” Jiao Qi leaned weakly against his Lao Gong, patting Guangzong who was trying to climb up the seat, then picked up the draft contract and started reading again.
Jiao Qi attached considerable importance to the collaboration with BBQ. This was an opportunity for Bajiao to open up the European and American markets. Starting with purchasing copyrights, they would familiarise themselves with it before pitching Bajiao’s dramas for promotion to the other party.
There was originally a corresponding department handling this. This Flores’ arrival was too sudden, and given his status, he had to be the one to handle it. They had to quickly go through the materials to avoid being at a disadvantage during tomorrow’s discussion.
Jiao Qi read the contract and briefly skimmed through several dramas from BBQ. Before he knew it, it was already very late at night.
After watching “101 Dalmatians” with his son in bed, before Jiao Qi could come back to sleep, Godfather Dior was rather unhappy. He strode to the study, brought the disobedient little wife back to the bedroom, and casually locked Eldest Young Master Zhang outside who was scratching himself on the stairs.
“Go to sleep first, I’ll finish watching this.” Jiao Qi rolled over in the quilt, lay on the pillow, wanting to watch the ending of the last drama.
“Do you still remember the contract you signed?” Zhang Chenfei slipped his hand into his little wife’s robe.
“En… what contract?” Jiao Qi turned over to look at him.
“You need to give me two children to pay off your father’s gambling debt. You’ve only paid off half of it now.” Zhang Chenfei took the opportunity to kiss those sweet lips.
He was no longer in the mood to watch the drama anymore. When Jiao Qi was pulled into the quilt, he was left with one thought: “How did my dad get into gambling debt again?”
Satisfied after scratching on the stairs, Guangzong shook his fur and raised his head to return to the bedroom for sleep, only to find the door couldn’t be pushed open. The little golden retriever stood up and tried to push the door with his front paws, but he couldn’t push it.
There was a strange noise coming from inside the room. Guangzong stopped his actions and listened carefully.
“……”
“You’ve already given birth to a child, why are you still so tight?”
“Shut up!”
Then there was even more intense noise, occasionally mixed with muffled cries, sounding like they were playing some particularly fun game.
“Wangwu!” The mafia crown prince was furious, howling and scratching at the door with all his might, but he couldn’t get into the room until dawn.
They messed around till late at night, Jiao Qi was sleep-deprived. He fell asleep in Zhang Chenfei’s arms after waking up early for work. The car parked steadily in front of the Bajiao Building, and Zhang Chenfei signalled the driver not to speak.
The little wife who was always running around became well-behaved when he was asleep. His fair and handsome face, warmed by leaning against Zhang Chenfei, had a thin layer of red, making him look especially delicious. Zhang Chenfei couldn’t help but lower his head.
Jiao Qi in a daze felt someone kissing him. When he opened his eyes, he saw the cold and serious face of the underworld godfather. He looked outside the window with some confusion and asked, “We’ve arrived. Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Mr. Dior didn’t even clearly hear what his little wife said. He replied with a stiff neck, “I kissed my own wife, what’s wrong with that!”
“…” It was indeed a stolen kiss. Jiao Qi glanced at Big Dick Zhang’s reddening ears and said, “I didn’t say you did anything wrong. I have a lunch appointment at noon, so I won’t be eating with you.”
With his arms suddenly empty, Zhang Chenfei noticed the folder lying on the car seat. He pursed his lips slightly but didn’t say anything to remind him.
As noon approached, Jiao Qi suddenly remembered that he had left the contract draft in the car. He called his Lao Gong and asked him to send someone over to deliver it.
“Where are you having lunch? I’ll have Qiangzi bring it directly to you.”
Jiao Qi sent the restaurant address and room number over and headed to the Chinese restaurant with the copyright manager, leaving ahead of time. Yu Yuan went to the airport to pick up Mr. Flores. Jiao Qi first checked the purchasing list with the copyright manager.
“If they want to put these three for purchase, then by all means do not agree. It goes against socialist core values, and buying them will definitely result in losses…”
As they were speaking, there was a knock on the door. The two stopped talking and looked towards the door of the private room.
Yu Yuan pushed the door open, followed by a tall mixed-race man. “Boss, Mr. Flores is here.”
Jiao Qi stood up to welcome the guest, but as soon as he saw the face clearly, he frowned. He had white’s facial features with dark hair and eyes, sporting the signature smile of a playboy. He was classmate KY whom he hadn’t seen for many years.
“Why is it you?” He had just flirted with him on social media over the weekend, and now he appeared here on Tuesday. Even with using his toes he could tell that it was intentional.
“Besides me, who else can travel halfway around the world for you?” KY shrugged, opening his arms wanting to hug Jiao Qi, “My father is old Flores, surprised?”
KY was originally an illegitimate child. Mr. Flores’ wife passed away a few years ago, so he married KY’s mother, which was why he now goes by the name Kent Y. Flores.
Jiao Qi didn’t accept the hug, just shook hands out of courtesy.
“After all these years, you haven’t changed a bit. You’re still as radiant as ever.” KY said in English, leaning on his chin with one hand, captivated by Jiao Qi’s face. “Baby, could you ask your staff to leave first? I have a lot to talk to you about.”
“My staff can understand English.” Jiao Qi said with a cold face.
The copyright manager beside them looked extremely embarrassed.
“Oh, is that so? Then I’ll speak Chinese.” The shameless playboy didn’t mind at all. “Do you know how happy I was when I saw that picture? Over the years, I’ve dated many people, both men and women, but none of them fascinated me like you…”
“Stop!” Jiao Qi raised his hand, wearing a wedding ring. “I’m already married.”
“That doesn’t matter. Even if you’re married, it doesn’t stop me from pursuing you, just like my dad. Honestly, your husband may be wealthy, but he’s a self-made man. I’m different. I come from the noble Flores family…” KY completely ignored his expression.
Jiao Qi thought he was impervious to reason. “Mister, please get it clear first. You were the one begging me to buy your copyrights! Since you’re not interested in doing business, then goodbye.” With that, he stood up directly.
“Oh, wait!” KY hurriedly stopped him, finally acting a bit more serious. “Sorry, I won’t talk. Let’s discuss business first.”
“Knock, knock”, there was a knock on the door. As Qiangzi had arrived to deliver the documents.
Dressed in all black with sunglasses, Qiangzi walked in and handed the folder to Jiao Qi with a confident air. “Sister-in-law, Fei-ge asked me to bring this over!”
KY was taken aback. Having seen Chinese gangs in the United States, he knew that’s how they addressed the wife of a big shot. “Dear, is this your husband’s man?”
Qiangzi took off his sunglasses and stared at KY with his mung bean eyes.
At that moment, Zhang Chenfei called, asking Qiangzi if Jiao Qi had been drinking.
“Fei-ge, sister-in-law is having dinner with a foreign devil. When I came in just now, that devil wanted to touch my sister-in-law’s hand!”
Zhang Chenfei was actually in the car downstairs, afraid that his little wife would be angry if he thought he was following him, so he hadn’t come up.
A moment later, two intimidating black-clad security guards stood guard at the door, while the mafia king stared at the reckless classmate KY. He casually strolled over to his little wife’s side. “You didn’t have lunch with me just to see this bastard?”
“Hello, I am Kent Y. Flores, the heir to the American BBQ TV station. I used to be Jiao’s classmate.” KY stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Zhang Chenfei.
Classmate from the United States…
Uncle Wang…
Zhang Chenfei sneered and ignored the ghost man‘s hand that was frozen in the air: “BBQ? How dare a BBQ guy chase our family’s Yan Yan?”
“Ah, I did pursue him, but he didn’t agree.” KY smiled awkwardly. Surprised, he didn’t expect this Mr. Zhang to know that he had pursued Jiao Qi.
“Whoosh——” Zhang Chenfei grabbed the cup from the table and splashed the entire cup of tea onto KY’s face. “Go you motherfucker.”
“You…” KY, who got splashed all over immediately got angry, was about to argue when suddenly a cold, tube-shaped object was pressed against his forehead— a gun! Instantly, he didn’t dare to move.
The Underworld Godfather pointed the 20mm mini armour-piercing gun at KY, slowly approached and said with a menacing tone, “Boy, stay away from my wife, or else, I’ll smash your barbecue stand!”
