Chapter 437: I Do Have a Suggestion

“How dare you hit me!”

Feeling the burning pain on his face, the Young Man in Black Shirt exploded, ready to fight back immediately.

However, the Young Man in Tracksuit held him back tightly, shouting almost hysterically, “Bro, calm down, calm down! I’m begging you, don’t drag me down with you if you want to die!”

In Jiangzhou, everyone who is even slightly influential has heard of Xu Shaochen. Naturally, they also know what kind of temperament he has.

If his older cousin dared to fight back, that would truly be stirring up a hornet’s nest.

Moreover, who knows if it might even implicate him too, which is the real critical issue here.

“Let me go! Let me go, damn it!”

The Young Man in Black Shirt continued to struggle, glaring at Xu Shaochen with eyes blazing, “I’m telling you, Mei Liangying is mine. Let’s see who has the better skills!”

Xu Shaochen frowned and couldn’t be bothered with this spoilt brat. He walked over to Mei Liangying.

Meanwhile, the Young Man in Tracksuit quickly pulled out his phone and called his uncle, detailing the severity of the situation.

“What’s wrong with this guy?”

Xu Shaochen pointed at the Young Man in Black Shirt.

Mei Liangying replied with some helplessness, “I ran into him when I first came to Jiangzhou to rent an office building. Since then, he’s been pestering me and has even started threatening me.”

“Had I known that this office building belonged to his family, I wouldn’t have rented it, no matter what.”

“Tap tap tap tap…”

About ten minutes later, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed as a Middle-aged Man, drenched in sweat, quickly walked into the office.

“Dad.”

Seeing the Middle-aged Man, the Young Man in Black Shirt walked up to him.

“Bang!”

The Middle-aged Man’s eyes flared up as he lifted his foot and kicked the Young Man in Black Shirt to the ground, scolding harshly, “I’m not your dad!”

After saying this, the Middle-aged Man ignored him and hurriedly walked over to Xu Shaochen, speaking anxiously:

“Mr. Xu, please calm down. It’s all my fault for not educating my son properly and allowing this unfilial son to offend you. Mr. Xu, rest assured, I will strictly discipline him in the future. To make up for it, from now on, I’ll reduce the rent for this office building to one-third of the original monthly price.”

This is a large, two-story office building, and cutting the rent by two-thirds basically means it’s just a token payment.

His family doesn’t lack money, but if they offend Xu Shaochen, they might not even end up with this small amount of money.

“Dad! This is unfair! Why? They aren’t even married yet, so why can’t I have fair competition?”

The Young Man in Tracksuit got up from the ground and yelled at the Middle-aged Man, acting completely spoiled. He lacked any sense of the situation, wanting to get his way no matter what, and would not give up until he did.

“Slap!”

The Middle-aged Man turned around and slapped him across the face, gritting his teeth as he said, “Don’t call me Dad. With a son like you, I worry I’ll die young. Next year, I’m sending you back to Jiangzhou for university. Let’s see what you’ve learned after all these years outside!”

Seeing the Middle-aged Man’s gritted teeth, the Young Man still seemed a bit defiant, but with the slap fresh on his face, he didn’t dare to speak again.

“Mr. Xu, I deeply apologize for seeing such a disgrace. This brat has completely gone to waste.”

The Middle-aged Man turned to Xu Shaochen, letting out a tired sigh.

Over the years, cleaning up the messes his son created had exhausted him. This unfilial son had made him utterly disappointed.

But thankfully, when he was younger, he had the foresight to have several illegitimate sons.

Since the primary one is ruined, he can only start training an alternate.

“With the way he is, he’s bound to bring you catastrophic disasters sooner or later. I do have a suggestion that might prevent him from causing trouble and could even help him mature.”

Xu Shaochen glanced at the Young Man in Black Shirt and smiled meaningfully at the Middle-aged Man, speaking with sincere concern.

The Young Man in Black Shirt shuddered; Xu Shaochen’s glance gave him a bad feeling.

“Oh? Mr. Xu, please, go ahead. If there’s really a method, I would be more grateful to you than I can express!”

Hearing this, the Middle-aged Man was instantly excited. He didn’t hope for his son to become better; he just wanted him to stop causing trouble.

Xu Shaochen showed a devilish smile and said seriously, “You could send him to join the military. In the armed forces, even the hardest temper gets softened. Moreover, in that environment, he won’t be able to cause trouble. And the more challenging the military service is, the better. Places like snowy regions or border areas are perfect for tempering a person.”

“Plus, the benefits for college students in the military are pretty good. As the saying goes, you regret being a soldier for two years, but regret not being one for a lifetime. This could also prevent him from having regrets later on in life.”

Mei Liangying suddenly felt some sympathy for the Young Man in Black Shirt. She could almost imagine how miserable he would become after joining the military, given his personality.

“No! Dad, don’t listen to him! He’s trying to murder me! He’s trying to kill me, Dad! Don’t send me to the army, please!”

The Young Man in Black Shirt was horrified by this suggestion. To him, Xu Shaochen was nothing less than a demon, sent to torment him.

“Slap!”

The Middle-aged Man slapped him again, “Shut up! Mr. Xu is doing this for your own good!”

He then turned to Xu Shaochen with a look of gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Xu. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have thought of such a good idea. Otherwise, who knows how much more trouble this son of mine would cause me.”

Yes, if he can’t discipline his son, the military will surely do the job. The military is a place made for straightening out troublemakers.

Maybe after a few years in the army, he’ll return as a reformed person.

“No! No army for me, I don’t want to go!”

The Young Man in Black Shirt burst into tears. He could barely survive a month of military training, pretending to be sick for 27 days.

And now they wanted to send him into the army! That was nothing less than a death sentence to him; it would be like living in hell.

“Mr. Xu, thank you for giving me this wonderful remedy. No need to pay the rent for the office building anymore; consider it my way of showing my gratitude.”

The Middle-aged Man looked at Xu Shaochen with joy. It was an unexpected stroke of luck—sending his son to the military, which would bring peace to his life.

“You’re too kind. It was just a small suggestion. I hope your son can reform himself in the army.”

Xu Shaochen could scarcely keep himself from laughing as he held back his amusement. He really thought he was being too kind—always thinking of others’ best interests.

Soon, the three of them left.

As they departed, if looks could kill, Xu Shaochen would have died countless times over.

“Just you wait! When I come back from the army, I’ll definitely kill you. I will kill you, wahhhh…”

The Young Man in Black Shirt was practically dragged out of the office, sobbing, but still trying to sound tough.
