Chapter 408: Zhou Yun’s Life in Hong Kong

“Mr. Zhou, Xu Shaochen is very influential on the Mainland. If you want revenge, we can cooperate.”

Zheng Bei was straightforward because he genuinely wanted to make this deal happen.

Otherwise, thinking he could take revenge on Xu Shaochen by himself would be a fool’s dream.

Zhou Yun remained noncommittal, neither agreeing nor refusing, and merely said, “Tell me your plan. I assume you didn’t come empty-handed.”

He wasn’t in a hurry to take revenge on Xu Shaochen just yet.

Last time, he thought Zhang Qingsong had potential, but Xu Shaochen quickly took care of him.

So, he knew this matter couldn’t be rushed; it needed to be approached slowly and carefully.

Although he is the son-in-law of the richest man in Hong Kong, Xu Shaochen is still the legitimate young master of the Xu Corporation, who can crush him in a heartbeat.

“Mr. Zhou, I came here with sincerity. Whether you agree to cooperate or not, I’m willing to share my plan with you…”

Zheng Bei looked at Zhou Yun earnestly, then explained the plan he had spent the entire night formulating.

After finishing, Zheng Bei looked at Zhou Yun and said, “Mr. Zhou, we are weaker than him, so we can’t confront him directly. I sincerely hope you can provide suggestions to improve my plan.”

“Tap! Tap! Tap!”

Zhou Yun did not respond immediately after hearing this. Instead, he lightly tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.

It had to be said—Zheng Bei was much shrewder than Zhang Qingsong. This plan made Zhou Yun tempted to give it a try.

After a long pause, Zhou Yun nodded and said, “A plan is just a plan; it still needs to be adjusted according to reality, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Welcome aboard, Mr. Zhou.” Zheng Bei smiled faintly and extended his hand.

Zhou Yun reciprocated the smile and shook hands with Zheng Bei.

The two of them formed a united front against Xu Shaochen.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Yun walked out of the teahouse.

His bodyguard had already opened the car door for him.

But Zhou Yun didn’t immediately get in the car. Instead, he looked up at the sun in the sky and murmured in a voice only he could hear.

“Xu Shaochen, Xu Shaochen, I thank you. It’s because of you that I have these things now. But I also despise you. After all, you caused the downfall of my Zhou Family. Just wait for me.”

With that, he got into the car and closed his eyes, reflecting on his recent experiences.

When he first arrived in Hong Kong, his leg was still injured from the beating he took from Xu Shaochen and was hit by a sports car while crossing the street.

The driver was none other than Lin Wanxue, the daughter of Hong Kong’s wealthiest man, who is now his wife.

After learning Lin Wanxue’s identity, Zhou Yun knew that this was an opportunity he had to seize.

After several rounds of setbacks from Xu Shaochen, Zhou Yun had grown from being frustrated to a more mature individual.

Lin Wanxue, who had been spoiled her entire life, quickly fell for Zhou Yun.

When the Lin Family found out, they tried every means to force Zhou Yun to leave Lin Wanxue, offering both threats and bribes.

But Zhou Yun knew this was likely the biggest opportunity of his life, so he held on tight and never backed down, even building his own company without spending a dime of the Lin Family’s money.

Eventually, as time passed, the Lin Family accepted Zhou Yun, acknowledging that he was indeed a talent, especially in social dealings and company management.

In this way, Zhou Yun quickly became the Lin family’s son-in-law.

With the backing of the Lin Family name, his company grew rapidly and is now a well-known entity in Hong Kong.

But he was not satisfied. He wanted more, for example, the entire Lin Family and the entire Lin Corporation.

The environment nurtures ambition; this saying fits Zhou Yun perfectly.

He once fantasized about defeating the Xu Corporation in the open and having Xu Shaochen grovel at his feet.

However, after getting to know the Lin Corporation, he realized that this dream could never be realized.

Because, compared to the Xu Corporation, the Lin Corporation, with its sprawling industries across the South Seas, was still just the tip of the iceberg.

So if he couldn’t defeat Xu Shaochen openly, he’d have to take an alternative approach.

Zheng Bei’s proposal was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Zhou Yun opened his eyes, a cold, icy glint flashing through them.

Xu Shaochen, your days are numbered.

………

Xu Shaochen still didn’t know the mastermind behind Zhang Qingsong’s last incident was his old friend Zhou Yun.

Nor did he know that Zhou Yun had already teamed up with Zheng Bei, planning to deal with him.

At this moment, Xu Shaochen had just returned to the hotel.

Upon entering his room, he was stunned.

Because he found Mei Liangxin, Zhang Wei, and Zhao Qing all inside his room.

Moreover, Mei Liangxin didn’t look too happy.

“Mei Liangxin, are you feeling unwell?”

Xu Shaochen asked with concern.

“Go to hell! Where were you last night? You didn’t come back at all!”

Mei Liangxin suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Xu Shaochen by the neck. When she saw the lipstick marks on his neck, she pinched even harder.

“Damn it, I knew this day would come, but I didn’t expect it so soon.”

“My little sister, whom I’ve cherished for so long, has been taken… taken…”

“Cough, cough, let me go! It was consensual. We both wanted it, okay?”

Xu Shaochen pushed Mei Liangxin away and said with irritation.

“She was clearly drunk last night, you beast!”

Mei Liangxin gritted her teeth.

Xu Shaochen eyed Mei Liangxin suspiciously, “You’re not in love with me and jealous of your sister, are you? After all, my charm doesn’t just make women fall; men go crazy for me too.”

“Ugh…”

Zhang Wei and Zhao Qing simultaneously gagged, looking at Xu Shaochen with disgust. How could someone be so shameless?

“Zhang Wei, notify the finance department—your salary for this month is gone.”

Xu Shaochen said to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei quickly put on a flattering smile, “Boss, I just had a dry throat. I completely agree with what you said. No one in the world can match your charm.”

“That’s better. Honesty is important, and so is telling the truth. A raise for him.” Xu Shaochen said earnestly, approving of Zhang Wei’s honesty.

Zhang Wei nodded, “Of course, it’s only right. My biggest flaw is that I sometimes accidentally tell the truth.”

Zhao Qing shook his head, sighed deeply, and said, “Sigh, the world’s morals are in decline. How could you bow to the grain of rice, Zhang Wei? I’m ashamed to be your friend.”

“Zhao Qing, has the entire demolition team in the Old City been replaced?” Xu Shaochen said slowly.

Zhao Qing immediately changed to a fawning expression, “Chairman Xu, just joking, just joking. Do I really need to state the obvious? Your charm is well-known; I don’t need to say it out loud, do I?”

“Bah! Disgusting!”

“Bah! Shameless!”

Mei Liangxin and Zhang Wei simultaneously cursed. This was like being a prostitute and wanting to maintain a good reputation.

Zhao Qing pouted. Although he claimed he wouldn’t bow to three bowls of grain, that was only because three bowls weren’t enough.

But the Old City demolition project was worth much more than three bowls of rice.
