Chapter Index

    At home.

    On the sofa.

    Xu Shaochen was sweating profusely while driving.

    It was an imported car, a joint venture between China and the U.S., and he’d only test-driven it once before. Today was the second time.

    After a while, the living room returned to calm.

    “Boss, you’re so strong.”

    Linda looked at Xu Shaochen’s firm muscles with infatuation, her delicate hand softly stroking over them.

    “You little seductress, you teased me just after I got back. Now you know how strong I am!”

    Xu Shaochen pinched Linda’s smooth chin. Her fair face was lightly sweating, and her long eyelashes fluttered.

    As soon as he entered, Linda had clung to him, and then… well, everyone can guess the rest.

    A cut of thirty thousand words in explicit details can’t be written out.

    “Boss, who’s seducing you? I just had something to tell you!” Linda looked at Xu Shaochen with a grievance, like a wronged little wife.

    She truly didn’t plan on doing that, just wanted to play a small prank on Xu Shaochen, but things escalated quickly.

    “What is it?”

    Xu Shaochen asked.

    Linda’s expression turned serious: “Chairman Jenny asked me to tell you that someone has started investigating you with malicious intent. She advises you to be careful.”

    “If we know someone has bad intentions, can’t we just deal with them?” Xu Shaochen frowned.

    Linda smiled bitterly at his words: “Boss, these people are the elders who once followed your grandfather, and they are supported by some powerful figures. It’s hard to move against them without absolute superiority. There’s a saying in Longguo, ‘Pull one thread, and the whole fabric unravels.'”

    “The old master has just passed, and now the dogs at home are unruly and want to seize power? Then I’ll just kill them all and make them into dog meat.” A cold light flashed in Xu Shaochen’s eyes. Anyone who wanted to take what was his would need to be prepared to die.

    Now Xu Shaochen understood why his grandfather had insisted he finish college before inheriting Xu Corporation.

    Even if he took over as chairman now, he wouldn’t be able to control those influential elders.

    So, these two years served as a buffer period. During this time, he needed to expand his personal strength or gradually gain control over the corporation’s internal power. Only then could he take full charge of Xu Corporation.

    By then, even if someone opposed him, he would have the power to fight back, rather than being devoured without a trace.

    Looking at the confident aura radiating from Xu Shaochen, Linda felt a bit dizzy, unconsciously hugging him tighter.

    “Boss, the situation may not be as dire as it seems. At least, all the divisions of Xu Corporation in Longguo and across Asia are on your side.”

    Linda murmured softly into Xu Shaochen’s ear.

    This was easy to understand. It meant that the Longguo and Asian market were under his supporters’ control, but in Europe and North America, his nominal inheritance couldn’t reach.

    The Asian market may sound vast.

    But don’t forget, Xu Corporation is the world’s number one business conglomerate, with assets spread all over the world. In particular, the developed countries in Europe and America are of utmost importance.

    So while his support base isn’t small, it can’t be considered overwhelming either.

    However, there’s one advantage: he’s in Longguo, and Longguo is his home turf. At least domestically, he stands undefeated.

    So those people can only resort to sending spies to play tricks behind his back.

    “I’m starting to really dislike foreigners now.”

    Xu Shaochen gritted his teeth as he looked at Linda. His family’s fortune being eyed by a bunch of foreigners really pissed him off.

    One day, he would send all those unruly people into the ground, making their final contribution to Earth by fertilizing the soil.

    Linda smiled seductively, wrapping her arms around Xu Shao’s neck, and murmured softly: “Dear Boss, then go ahead and take revenge. Fiercely take revenge. Spend all your anger on me. I’m also a foreigner~”

    That night, flames of passion rose, keeping sleep at bay.

    ………

    Morning.

    Xu Shaochen felt a bit uncomfortable as he got up.

    The exercise last night had been too intense, and his waist was slightly sore.

    “Boss, the clothes you’ll be wearing today are on the nightstand.”

    Linda, wearing an apron, pushed open the door and reminded Xu Shaochen.

    Today was the company’s opening, and as the chairman, Xu Shaochen had to be present. Naturally, his outfit needed to be appropriate.

    After all, he represented the company’s image, so good looks alone wouldn’t suffice.

    After getting dressed, washing up, and finishing breakfast, Xu Shaochen had Long San drive him to the company.

    Half an hour later, they arrived at the destination.

    The entrance of the office building was already covered with a red carpet. On either side of the carpet stood the company’s employees, while many other company employees and passersby observed from around.

    As soon as Xu Shaochen’s car stopped, someone quickly stepped forward to open the door for him.

    “Good morning, Chairman.”

    Xu Shaochen got out of the car, and all the employees immediately greeted him.

    In the crowd, Xu Shaochen noticed Mei Liangxin, Zhang Wei, and Zhao Qing. All three had brought flower baskets.

    Xu Shaochen smiled. He hadn’t invited these three guys; he’d merely mentioned it in passing. Their attendance showed they were thoughtful.

    Moreover, Mei Liangxin was so broke that he had borrowed money from Xu Shaochen, yet he still bought such a big flower basket without hesitation.

    “Shaochen.”

    Liu Rushuang walked up beside Xu Shaochen. Today she wore a white suit, not a skirt but ladies’ trousers, giving her a more spirited look than usual.

    “How’s it going?” Xu Shaochen asked.

    Liu Rushuang nodded slightly: “It’s fine. The other companies in the building are cooperating as well.”

    Meanwhile, several more cars stopped at the entrance: Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, and Phaeton.

    Sun Hai, Han Tianxiong, Ye Huaiyuan, and Li Ming arrived one by one.

    Seeing this, the onlookers around were shocked, their gazes filled with amazement as they looked at Xu Shaochen.

    These four were all famous entrepreneurs in Donghai, with the weakest among them, Han Tianxiong, still being a billionaire.

    But now, the four were all gathered for the opening of just one company. How could the crowd not be astonished? “What kind of background does this Chen Yu Company have to command so much respect?”

    “Yeah, even Sun Hai came. He’s from the Sun Family! Chairman Xu’s influence must be unmatched in Jiangzhou.”

    “This Chairman Xu must be an extraordinary figure…”

    Everyone was buzzing with speculation, their eyes full of admiration, respect, and envy as they looked at Xu Shaochen.

    After all, who wouldn’t want to be in his shoes?

    Sun Hai, Han Tianxiong, Ye Huaiyuan, and Li Ming exchanged surprised looks.

    Especially Han Tianxiong. Only today did he truly understand the terrifying influence Xu Shaochen held in Jiangzhou.

    He couldn’t help but feel relieved, glad that he had made the right call. Otherwise, the Han Family would have vanished by now.

    And this was only because those present at Sun Yaowen’s birthday banquet didn’t know Xu Shaochen’s company was opening today.

    Otherwise, this street would probably have been filled with luxury cars, causing major traffic congestion.
