Chapter 1001: Where Did We Stop
by xennovel“As long as the three of you are satisfied.”
“We’ve had tea, so let’s continue discussing business. Right, where did we stop?”
Xu Shaochen showed a puzzled expression looking at the three.
“Mr. Xu, you just mentioned letting us spare the Yu Family.”
Zhou Shuang said cautiously.
“Oh, right, right. Look at my memory, getting worse.” Xu Shaochen finally understood and asked, “So, did you agree?”
“Yes, we agreed a while ago.”
“Yes, yes, when you first mentioned it, we agreed.”
“Right, but Miss Yu served the tea before we could say it.”
The three nodded like pecking chickens, speaking earnestly with sincere smiles.
“Thank you for giving me face. Just as I said, you give me face, I give you face.”
“I don’t know your business, but the Xu Corporation is involved in many industries. If you’re interested in collaborating, just mention my name to discuss with my company.”
Xu Shaochen wasn’t stubborn or overbearing as that would incite resentment and downgrade his status.
“Yes, thank you, Mr. Xu.”
Hearing this made the three feel relieved. Partnering with Xu Corporation was a guaranteed profit.
Their previous resentment towards Xu Shaochen vanished.
After all, in their words, they’re businessmen.
Dealing with the Yu Family wasn’t only about revenge but gaining profit.
Now that Xu Shaochen compensated them, their grievances naturally lessened.
“Mr. Xu, it’s late. We’ll leave and visit another day.”
Having finished the matters, the three politely bid farewell to Xu Shaochen.
“It’s indeed late. Besides, you’re all busy people, I won’t keep you. Xiuxiu, see the esteemed guests out.”
Xu Shaochen said warmly smiling, exuding a pleasant aura.
The three understood Xu Shaochen better.
As long as you agree with him, he is easy to deal with.
But if you oppose him, you’ll face severe consequences.
Simply put, he’s dominant.
“No need, Miss Yu, stay. It’s cold outside, don’t get cold. We’ll leave by ourselves.”
The three stopped Yuxiu from escorting them, quickly leaving the parlor.
In a blink, only Xu Shaochen, Yuxiu, and Yu Li remained in the parlor.
“Brother-in-law, thank you, brother-in-law, for your great kindness.”
Yu Li continuously thanked Xu Shaochen, finally feeling at ease.
If the Yu Family faced trouble, he couldn’t continue living lavishly.
“Don’t call me brother-in-law. Also, your Yu Family can’t use my name for anything. Otherwise, I’ll make your family disappear from the Northwest.”
Xu Shaochen said coldly. If not for Yuxiu, he wouldn’t care about their lives.
“Yes, bro… Young Master Xu.”
Yu Li’s face stiffened, realizing it was tough to cling to Xu Shaochen, indeed a long way to go.
“Leave.”
Xu Shaochen waved him off like swatting a fly.
“Young Master Xu, sister, I’ll leave. Rest early.”
Yu Li said farewell and left.
“Thank you.”
Yuxiu sincerely thanked Xu Shaochen.
“Just words thanking me? Show it with action.”
Xu Shaochen said.
Yuxiu blushed, “I’ll clean myself first, then serve you.”
Xu Shaochen almost wanted to cage her in a gilded cage. Something good should belong only to him.
“Together.”
Amid Yuxiu’s screams, Xu Shaochen carried her to the bathroom.
………………
After leaving the parlor, Chen Tang and the others didn’t go home but gathered to discuss.
“The Yu Family cozied up to Zhao Chen and then Xu Shaochen, relying on a daughter for prosperity.”
Ye Jian said bitterly, wanting revenge on the Yu Family for seizing his business.
“They did have a good daughter. Miss Yu is stunning, even prettier post-marriage.”
Zhou Shuang mused, envying Xu Shaochen when picturing Yuxiu.
“Dream on. Such a woman isn’t for you or me, meant for wealthy elites.”
Chen Tang shattered Zhou Shuang’s fantasy, admitting they had no chance with Yuxiu.
“Regardless, we didn’t lose. Partnering with Xu Corporation lets us boast a powerful ally.”
“Indeed, a big company like Xu Corporation means no worries about unpaid invoices.”
“I think we should formally visit Xu Shaochen tomorrow to establish ties.”
The three planned to visit Xu Shaochen with gifts, unaware he’d be returning to Jiangzhou the next day.
Meanwhile,
Yu Li returned to the Yu Family.
“How did it go? Did Xu Shaochen offer help?”
He barely entered before Yu Li’s father and mother anxiously inquired.
“He helped. Zhou Shuang and the others won’t trouble us.”
Yu Li responded wearily.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Yu Li’s father relaxed but then sensed something was off.
Yu Li sighed, “Dad, Xu Shaochen warned against using his name or he’d destroy us. We can’t cling to him.”
Yu Li lamented, knowing it’s comforting under a big tree’s shade.
Initially, they prospered rapidly through Zhao Chen’s support.
Hearing this, Yu Li’s parents regretted deeply.
“If we weren’t disrespectful back then, things might be different. Why did we do that?”
Yu Li’s father regretted bitterly, as if his heart was bleeding.
That was Xu Shaochen! Gaining his support would propel the Yu Family.
But now,
Their foolishness deprived them of that chance.
