Chapter 461: I’ll Move Your Mountain Myself

“Chairman Xu has other urgent matters, and I had to come to Rongyang for a meeting anyway, so I’ll be handling this.”

Liu Rushuang paused at this point, then continued, “President Meng, both our times are valuable. Why don’t we get straight to discussing the acquisition specifics…”

“Acquisition? President Liu, I’m sorry, but I never had any intention of selling Shark Live.”

Meng Chuan interrupted Liu Rushuang with a smile and spoke in a calm tone.

“Are you sure? Chairman Xu didn’t tell me that.” Liu Rushuang frowned. She suspected that Meng Chuan was about to go back on his word.

Meng Chuan, with a carefree attitude, said, “Maybe Chairman Xu has a bad memory and misheard something.”

“Really? How about you speak to him yourself then?”

As soon as Liu Rushuang finished speaking, without waiting for Meng Chuan’s response, she pulled out her phone and made a video call to Xu Shaochen.

“What is it?”

A moment later, the video connected, and Liu Rushuang could see that Xu Shaochen was sitting in a car.

“There’s an issue with acquiring Shark Live. He no longer wants to sell. Please have a word with him yourself.”

After saying this, Liu Rushuang handed the phone to Meng Chuan.

“President Meng, are you toying with me?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Meng Chuan and spoke.

Meng Chuan sighed helplessly and replied, “Chairman Xu, I wouldn’t dare! Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare mess with you.”

“But Noah Entertainment has already partnered with us at Shark Live. There’s nothing I can do now. Selling Shark Live requires shareholder approval, and Noah is now our third-largest shareholder.”

Although his tone was helpless, a faint smile remained on Meng Chuan’s face. Clearly, he was enjoying this situation immensely.

Although they hadn’t officially signed the contract with Noah yet, he believed it was as good as done.

“President Meng, you’ve got some wild connections. I didn’t expect you’d manage to get in touch with Noah Entertainment. Do you think that just because Noah Entertainment is backing you, I can’t do anything to you?”

Xu Shaochen’s expression darkened slightly. Shark Live was something he considered his own, and he wouldn’t tolerate Meng Chuan’s resistance.

“Chairman Xu, you’re joking. You’re a big shot, and I had no such intention. But you are partially right. If you really want to acquire Shark Live, why not ask Noah Entertainment first?”

“Oh, Chairman Xu, you see, I have another meeting to attend, so I’ll take my leave.”

With those words, Meng Chuan rudely ended the video call, sneered, and handed the phone back to Liu Rushuang.

“Vice Chairman Liu, you’ve heard it yourself. Please feel free to do as you wish.”

“President Meng, I hope you don’t regret your actions today.”

Liu Rushuang coldly looked at Meng Chuan and said.

“I never regret any of my decisions because so far, all my decisions have proven to be correct.”

“By the way, Vice Chairman Liu, you’ve achieved a lot at such a young age. It must be hard staying late and working overtime.”

Meng Chuan shrugged and looked at Liu Rushuang with undisguised disdain, his eyes showing a hint of mockery.

The underlying meaning was clear—a woman who relied on her body to rise in the ranks had no right to act arrogantly in front of him.

“Meng Chuan, you will pay for those words.”

Liu Rushuang coldly left these words behind as she stood up and strode out of the office.

“Hahaha, pay for it? Vice Chairman Liu, I look forward to seeing what price I’ll pay. Life is exciting because of the unknown! I’ll see you out—oh, wait, no, I won’t. Hahaha…”

Meng Chuan laughed heartily as he watched Liu Rushuang’s departing figure, feeling unusually satisfied.

As soon as Liu Rushuang left, a young man, who bore some resemblance to Meng Chuan, swaggered into the room.

This was Meng Chuan’s son—Meng Yuan.

“Dad, who was that woman just now? Can I get her contact information?”

Meng Yuan looked at Meng Chuan, winking suggestively. Liu Rushuang’s figure and face had ignited his desire to conquer her.

“Don’t even think about it. That’s Xu Shaochen’s woman. She’s untouchable.” Meng Chuan warned, giving him a sharp look.

“You mean the Chairman of that Chen Yu company who’s trying to acquire us?”

Meng Yuan wasn’t too concerned. So what if she was Xu Shaochen’s woman? It would only make it more fun to pursue her.

So, he decided that action was better than contemplation.

………

Jiangzhou.

Xu Shaochen had been silent for a full five minutes, staring at the disconnected video call.

Finally, a faint smile appeared on his face. “Meng Chuan, interesting, very interesting. Your little joke has successfully pissed me off.”

After speaking, Xu Shaochen dialed Barron’s number.

“Xu, if you’re backing out, it’s too late. I’m about to board my flight.”

After a few seconds of ringing, the call was answered, and Barron’s voice came from the phone.

“Barron, do you know anyone from Noah Entertainment? I need a favor.”

Xu Shaochen straightforwardly said. If Meng Chuan’s backer was Noah Entertainment, then he would simply remove that backer.

“Damn it, Xu! You must know I’m one of Noah Entertainment’s shareholders, or you wouldn’t be calling me!”

Barron’s voice came through the phone, full of frustration, clearly misunderstanding Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen was momentarily surprised. “Is that so? Well, that’s even better. Are you aware of Noah Entertainment’s plan to partner with a live-streaming platform in Longguo?”

“Yes, of course. Noah Entertainment wants to establish a branch in Longguo. It’s a big deal, and as a shareholder, I naturally know. After all, it affects my year-end dividends.”

“Then you must be quite familiar with Noah Entertainment’s decision-makers there. I’d appreciate it if you could relay a suggestion—drop that live-streaming platform. They’re completely untrustworthy, and working with them is a risky move.”

Xu Shaochen shamelessly made up a story.

“I know you’re talking nonsense, but I agree. However, you owe me a favor.”

Barron accepted the request. After all, to his knowledge, it was only a preliminary collaboration with no formal contract signed yet. Backing out now was perfectly feasible.

Moreover, by declining the cooperation with Shark Live, they could easily partner with another company. It wasn’t as if Shark Live was their only option.

On the contrary, using such a trivial matter to earn Xu Shaochen’s favor was an excellent deal.

“I accept. I want to see immediate action on this. I expect visible results soon.”

Xu Shaochen agreed without hesitation. It was just a favor, after all; he could afford it.

“Offending you is a frightening thing. Your desire for revenge is overwhelming.”

Barron sighed, offering a moment of silent pity for the doomed live-streaming platform.

“I simply can’t tolerate having sand in my eyes. Besides, this particular grain of sand is now obstructing my vision.”

As Xu Shaochen spoke, he ended the call and then raised the corners of his mouth into a sinister smile.

“Meng Chuan, I’ll move the mountain you rely on; let’s see what you do then.”

Did you really think that having Noah Entertainment backing you means you can ignore me? How much do you underestimate me?”
