Chapter 351: Zhang Zhi and Zhao Yin’s Big Business

“Ding ding ding…”

A sudden phone ringtone interrupted the conversation between the four people.

“Xiao Zhao, help me grab the phone.”

Mei Liangxin looked at Zhao Qing and said.

Zhao Qing picked up the phone vibrating on the nightstand and glanced at the caller ID casually: “Who the hell is this old bastard?”

Mei Liangxin’s expression changed.

Seeing Mei Liangxin’s uneasy look, Zhao Qing remained silent and handed over the phone.

“What’s up.” Mei Liangxin answered the call and spoke coldly.

“I heard you got shot.”

A low male voice came from the phone.

Mei Liangxin let out a cold smile: “Don’t worry, I’ll survive just as you wished and return alive.”

I’ll survive as you wished and return, but I’m afraid things won’t go as you expect after that.

Why did that old bastard call? Isn’t it just because he’s worried I might die in Jiangzhou and won’t be able to come back to transplant my liver to his dear elder brother?

“Good, heal up quickly, or you might miss your sister’s wedding. Oh, by the way, Xiaoying’s wedding is set for the 27th of this month.”

The voice on the other end of the line was still low and calm, but the threat was unmistakable.

“You dare…” Mei Liangxin was enraged.

“Beep—beep—”

However, before he could finish speaking, the other party had already hung up. Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Mei Liangxin angrily threw the phone.

“Bang!”

The phone hit the wall, and the screen instantly shattered, forming spiderweb-like cracks.

Zhao Qing and Zhang Wei exchanged looks, not understanding what kind of call could make the normally easygoing Mei Liangxin so furious.

But Xu Shaochen had an idea, and he asked tentatively, “Someone from your family?”

“Who else but that old bastard? He’s threatening me. If I don’t go back by the 27th, he’ll marry off Xiaoying.”

Mei Liangxin gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger and malice.

Since childhood, as the second young master of the Mei Family, he held no status, and naturally, no friends.

Only his sister had stayed by his side all this time. Now, Mei Tianqing was using her marriage to threaten him. How could he not be furious?

If a woman marries the wrong man, her life will be ruined.

“The 27th? That’s about ten days from now. Just enough time for me to finish exams and for you to recover from your injuries.”

Xu Shaochen said casually. The woman I’ve claimed, and you dare to think of marrying her off to someone else? Unforgivable.

Zhao Qing and Zhang Wei then realized who the caller might be—definitely Mei Liangxin’s shameless father.

After a few more comforting words to Mei Liangxin, Xu Shaochen, Zhao Qing, and Zhang Wei left.

………

Outside the Hospital, a Rolls-Royce was parked at the entrance, freshly repaired and looking as good as new.

An Audi followed behind the Rolls-Royce.

After last night, Xu Shaochen now takes bodyguards with him wherever he goes—four of them at a time.

Last night was the closest he had ever been to death. If not for Mei Liangxin taking the bullet, he would’ve been dead for sure.

So now he realized the importance of protecting his one and only life.

“Where are you headed? Need a ride?”

Standing on the hospital steps, Xu Shaochen asked the two.

“Nah, different routes. I’m heading back to the Company to work overtime.”

“I need to go inspect the demolition area in case something goes wrong.”

The two both declined Xu Shaochen’s offer of a ride.

“Alright, I’ll head out first then.”

Xu Shaochen nodded and walked toward the Rolls-Royce.

“Ding ding ding…”

He had only taken two steps when his phone rang. One look and he saw it was a call from Liu Rushuang.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Two people just came to the Company. One’s surname is Zhang, the other is Zhao. They said they had an appointment to discuss business with you.”

“Right, right, I’ll come over right away.” Xu Shaochen didn’t expect Zhang Zhi and Zhao Yin to be in such a hurry. They had just reached an agreement yesterday, and today they were already at the Company.

After hanging up, Xu Shaochen looked at Zhang Wei and said, “Looks like we’re heading the same way now. I’m going to the Company too.”

Half an hour later, they arrived at the gates of Chen Yu Company.

Long Yi and Long Er stayed in the car while Xu Shaochen took Long San and Long Si upstairs.

“Good day, Chairman Xu.”

“Good day, Chairman Xu.”

Xu Shaochen nodded in greeting and headed straight to the reception room.

Upon opening the door, Zhang Zhi and Zhao Yin were sitting upright on the sofa, discussing something with Liu Rushuang.

“Chairman Xu!”

Noticing Xu Shaochen’s arrival, both Zhang Zhi and Zhao Yin quickly stood up to greet him.

“Sit, sit, sit. Please, have a seat. I didn’t expect you two to come today.”

Xu Shaochen motioned for them to sit down. Behind him, Long San and Long Si took up positions by the door.

“Chairman Xu, the reason we came to you so urgently is because we have a big business deal. We wonder if you’d be interested?”

Zhang Zhi looked at Xu Shaochen with a hearty smile, a hint of mystery in his tone.

Xu Shaochen’s shooting incident last night had been kept under wraps. Otherwise, with their sharp minds, they would have been at the Hospital visiting Mei Liangxin today.

“Oh, big business? If you two are willing to let me in on this opportunity, of course, I’m grateful. Please, tell me more.”

Xu Shaochen showed a hint of interest and made a gesture for them to continue.

Liu Rushuang refilled their tea and brewed a cup for Xu Shaochen before sitting down properly beside him.

The two couldn’t help but realize that this beautiful Vice Chairman seemed to have a close relationship with Xu Shaochen. This guy is truly a ladies’ man.

“Chairman Xu, this business isn’t in Jiangzhou, but in Songshan.”

Zhao Yin said.

“Songshan?” Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow. Lately, it seemed like he had some fate with that place.

Without noticing the change in Xu Shaochen’s expression, Zhao Yin continued, “Yes, it’s Songshan.”

“Chairman Xu, I have a cousin who works as a cadre in the Songshan City Government. I got some inside information from him; the Fengyang District in Songshan is about to undergo a new city redevelopment project. I believe you understand the profit potential in this.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shaochen and Liu Rushuang both had their expressions change. A full-scale urban redevelopment to build a new city—profits from this could easily be in the hundreds of billions.

Zhang Zhi and Zhao Yin came to Xu Shaochen simply because they lacked the capital to undertake this project on their own. They wanted to curry favor and also take a share of the profits.

To say there wasn’t a temptation would be a lie. Besides, they were already planning to go to Songshan because of the issue with Mei Liangxin, so they could kill two birds with one stone.

However, this trip would likely lead to a fierce competition. After all, wealth attracts people. In the face of such massive profits, even Xu Corporation’s Young Master Xu’s name might not deter his rivals.

“So, what’s your proposal?”

Xu Shaochen calmly sipped his tea and asked in a steady tone.
