Chapter Index

    Could it be that after inheriting the Far Away Group, he got arrogant, thinking he could go up against me?

    No, Fang Ping may be dumb, but he’s not that dumb. So what’s the reason?

    “Xu Shaochen, I’m just here to inform you, your past treatment of me will be repaid tenfold.”

    “Also, the Far Away Group is vast and wealthy; it doesn’t need this store. You might as well keep it to support your mistress. Just make sure to change the sign. If you tarnish the Far Away Group’s name, I’ll take you to court.”

    Fang Ping adjusted his hair, walked up to Xu Shaochen confidently, and smirked arrogantly.

    “A dog that’s happy even when his father dies, rare indeed.”

    Xu Shaochen sneered at Fang Ping.

    Fang Ping shrugged indifferently: “That old man should have died a long time ago. The Far Away Group can only flourish in my hands. You don’t know a damn thing.”

    “Smack!”

    Xu Shaochen slapped him across the face, then grabbed his hair and said word by word:

    “I don’t care who gave you the courage to challenge me. Out of respect for Fang Zhen, I’m warning you—live well, don’t court death.”

    As he finished, Xu Shaochen patted Fang Ping’s face, then released his grip on his hair.

    The bodyguards that Fang Ping brought, surrounded by Long Yi and his men, didn’t dare say a word the entire time.

    “Damn it. You think you’re tough? I’ll see how long you can keep it up, Young Master of the Xu Corporation. I’m shaking in fear.”

    Fang Ping spat blood onto the ground, looked at Xu Shaochen, and made an exaggerated expression before slapping his own bodyguard in the face and cursing.

    “Useless trash.”

    After those words, Fang Ping shot Xu Shaochen a deranged smile and left the 4S Store.

    As he watched Fang Ping’s back, Xu Shaochen’s eyes grew cold.

    Fang Ping wouldn’t have the guts to do this on his own. That means someone is definitely backing him.

    But who could it be?

    It’s not Zheng Bei or Zhou Yun, as I’ve always had them under my thumb.

    Ah… the trouble of having too many enemies.

    Sometimes you can’t even guess who’s plotting against you.

    “Alright, everyone get back to work.”

    Xu Shaochen looked at the employees and said, then led Song Xinran to her office.

    “Change the Yuanfang sign outside to Chen Yu. I’m planning to establish Chen Yu’s own 4S Store, and you’ll be in charge.”

    Xu Shaochen looked at Song Xinran and explained. This was an idea he’d had for a long time. Handing the store over to her management was also to train her abilities.

    Since the sign had to be changed anyway, it was time to finalize this decision.

    “Okay.”

    Song Xinran nodded. She had grown confident in her abilities, so although she felt a bit nervous, she didn’t refuse.

    “Are you okay?”

    Xu Shaochen gently stroked Song Xinran’s cheek.

    Song Xinran shook her head and smiled at Xu Shaochen: “As long as you’re here, it doesn’t hurt.”

    “Don’t worry, he’ll pay for that slap.”

    Xu Shaochen gently pulled Song Xinran into his arms.

    If it weren’t for wanting to find out who was backing Fang Ping,

    He would have sent Fang Ping to hell already. Maybe he could even meet his father on the way to the underworld.

    “It’s just a slap; I don’t want to cause trouble for you because of it.”

    Song Xinran’s eyes were filled with concern. She had clearly felt Fang Ping’s arrogance just moments ago.

    Xu Shaochen scoffed dismissively: “A sneaky little clown, and you call that trouble? The moment he shows his face, I’ll make sure he has no grave to be buried in.”

    Feeling Xu Shaochen’s overwhelming confidence, Song Xinran was momentarily dazzled.

    “I have a home remedy to help with the swelling,” Xu Shaochen suddenly said mysteriously.

    Song Xinran widened her beautiful eyes, looking at him with curiosity: “What remedy?”

    “Ever heard of intense physical exercise to reduce swelling?” Xu Shaochen grinned mischievously as he lifted Song Xinran onto the desk.

    “You’re so bad. I didn’t agree to this!”

    Song Xinran’s face flushed red with embarrassment. She glared at Xu Shaochen, saying no with her mouth, but her body was very honest.

    In the end, it turned out that the home remedy was a lie. It didn’t help with the swelling at all.

    “How about I find you a new place to live?”

    Afterward, the two dressed, and Xu Shaochen suggested to Song Xinran.

    With so many people targeting him, the easiest to go after were the women around him.

    So, for safety’s sake, he planned to move Song Xinran, Xie Wei, Zhou Sixian, and Zhao Qingyu into Du Ruyan’s home.

    The Du Family already had bodyguards, and he could send a few more to protect them.

    As for Liu Rushuang and Mei Liangying, there was no way to have them move into the Du Family’s place.

    Because these two women didn’t even know how many other women they had to share him with.

    “Where would it be?”

    Song Xinran asked. She knew that Xu Shaochen was doing this for her safety.

    “At a friend’s place,” Xu Shaochen replied.

    Song Xinran playfully pinched him: “A friend? One of those friends you fight with without clothes on?”

    “Cough, cough… don’t be so crude. They’re called close confidantes.”

    Xu Shaochen said somewhat guiltily.

    …………

    Hong Kong.

    Lin Kai had already followed Xu Shaochen’s instructions and established a company.

    The person in charge would be someone Xu Shaochen sent over. Lin Kai was just there as a figurehead since he knew nothing about business.

    Ever since returning home yesterday morning, he’s been behaving exceptionally well, even forgoing his usual habit of sleeping late. This finally earned him some approval from his father.

    But Lin Yao and Lin Rong remained highly vigilant of Lin Kai, thinking his drastic change was due to plans to compete for the heir position.

    But Lin Kai didn’t care about them. Instead, he solemnly set up a table of alcohol and apologized to Zhou Yun for how he had treated him in the past.

    He even pestered Zhou Yun to teach him how to do business.

    Zhou Yun was highly suspicious of Lin Kai’s sudden personality change.

    In the past, this guy detested Zhou Yun. He never hid his ambition, so why was Lin Kai suddenly acting so differently? However, after Lin Kai subtly suggested that Zhou Yun should abandon any inappropriate ideas and fully support him in competing for the heir position,

    Zhou Yun dismissed his suspicions about Lin Kai. However, he became even more disdainful of him, thinking Lin Kai’s intelligence had dropped to a laughable level.

    Asking Zhou Yun to help him compete for the heir position? What an idiot! But because of Lin Kai’s idiocy, Zhou Yun felt more at ease and was happy to associate with him.

    Little did Zhou Yun know that every move Lin Kai made was orchestrated by Xu Shaochen behind the scenes.
