Chapter 1147: Responded with Four Words
by xennovel“Boss, didn’t we just hold a press conference in the morning…”
Yuxiu looked at Xu Shaochen with difficulty. They’d just held a press conference in the morning to sue Liao Zhou, and now they weren’t. Wasn’t this a bit too frivolous?
Xu Shaochen chuckled lightly and said with ease, “Release a message saying we’re broad-minded and accept their apology, not holding a grudge.”
This way he could also gain a wave of goodwill from the public.
“Yes, Boss.”
Yuxiu quickly edited Xu Shaochen’s message and posted it through Tianyu’s official account.
Sure enough, the internet was full of praise for Xu Shaochen’s actions.
“Chairman Xu is amazing! Truly my idol, so broad-minded, capable of handling great tasks.”
“Exactly. Look at that Liao Zhou guy, only apologizing hastily after Tianyu announced they’d sue him. Disgusting.”
“Let me officially declare: from now on, I’m a die-hard fan of Chairman Xu and Tianyu!”
“Tianyu is amazing! But when will ‘Jianghu’ be released?!”
Xu Shaochen’s public appeal was skyrocketing.
Except for those who resented wealth, had prejudices, or a few who genuinely disliked him.
The rest were fair and mostly loyal supporters of Xu Shaochen.
By the way, there was a minor incident.
The internal testing footage of Jianghu was posted on foreign websites.
Foreigners couldn’t believe it, thinking it was fake, edited with software.
No one believed virtual reality technology would debut in Dragon Country.
Eventually, undeniable evidence embarrassed them, shocking them, and they begged for ‘Jianghu’ to be released overseas.
Some people from Stick Country even claimed Xu Shaochen was actually one of them.
Xu Shaochen only responded with four words: “Share with your mom.”
America was furious, but it was too late. Xu Corporation’s headquarters had successfully moved to Paradise Island.
In short, Xu Shaochen became famous, both domestically and internationally.
Foreign countries didn’t give up even after Xu Shaochen’s four-word reply.
Completely mature virtual reality technology was too tempting.
They tried to hurt Xu Corporation’s business to pressure Xu Shaochen into giving up and bowing.
However, they suddenly found they couldn’t pressure Xu Corporation.
No doubt, this year was crucial for Xu Shaochen, his company flourishing globally.
……………
Night.
Xu Shaochen finished a day’s work and returned to his cozy home—Floral Peak Villa Estate.
“You’re back.”
Seeing Xu Shaochen enter, Song Xinran quickly went up, holding slippers and squatting down to help him change shoes.
Xu Shaochen opened his arms, and Tang Silin stepped forward to help him take off his coat.
It felt like an emperor returning to the palace.
“What’s for dinner tonight?”
Xu Shaochen asked.
“A feast! It’s a feast we all worked together to prepare.”
Du Ruyan said cheerfully, her face showing some pride, as if expecting praise.
“You only washed some vegetables, why act like you cooked the whole table?”
Xie Wei rolled her eyes, feeling speechless.
“It’s about participating. Besides, we divided the work clearly. You can’t deny my contribution.”
Du Ruyan pouted.
“I’ll get the bowls.”
Zhou Suxian always remained quiet and understanding, not joining the others’ argument, but going to the kitchen to get the utensils.
“I’ll help.”
Li Qianya and Linda followed, knowing that without help, Zhou Suxian couldn’t manage the tableware for so many people.
Soon, the whole family gathered around the dining table for dinner.
“Shaochen, when will we move to that Paradise Island you’ve been talking about?”
Zhao Qingyu asked Xu Shaochen.
“What, can’t wait?” Xu Shaochen asked.
Zhao Qingyu shook her head, “No, I just worry I won’t have the chance to shop once we’re on the island. I need to shop enough first.”
“You’ll never shop enough in your life. Paradise Island is a city on the sea, you can call it Paradise City.”
Xu Shaochen showed some pride, as it was a city he funded and built himself. He was the lord of it.
“You still haven’t told us when we’re moving.”
Zhao Qingyu repeated her previous question, being quite concerned about it.
“We’ll move after the new year. It’ll probably be our last year outside.”
Xu Shaochen said with some emotion. After the new year, he planned to bring his mom over, then move to Paradise Island.
He also planned to have a dozen or so families from Xu Village move over, so his mom wouldn’t feel lonely on the island.
The reason elderly people don’t like living in cities is partly because they lack that rural atmosphere and neighbors they’ve been around all their lives.
Nowadays, neighborly relations in cities are indescribable; sometimes people don’t even know their neighbor’s surname after living there for years.
“Tap tap tap…”
At that moment, Long San walked in.
“What’s the matter?” Xu Shaochen asked.
Long San respectfully said, “Boss, there are two foreigners outside wanting to see you.”
“Foreigners? Are they male or female?” Xu Shaochen put down his utensils.
The other women at the table exchanged glances.
Long Yi answered, “Male. They claim to be from America.”
Xu Shaochen thought for a moment, then said, “Let them in.”
He was curious why two foreigners would suddenly come to his home, and what they wanted.
