Chapter 56: Everyone’s Targeting Xu Shaochen

“How dare you hit me!”

Feeling the sharp pain on his face, Zhao Quan was still a bit dazed. His mind was buzzing.

“Get lost!”

Xu Shaochen coldly spat out the words.

“Fine! Fine! You wait and see! Just wait until Young Master Li hears about this! You’re as good as dead!”

Zhao Quan gritted his teeth as he spoke to Xu Shaochen, his eyes filled with venomous anger. After leaving a parting threat, he turned and walked away.

“Mr. Huang, let’s find a place to sign the contract.” Xu Shaochen said to Huang He with a faint smile, as if nothing had just happened.

It took a while for Huang He to react, glancing at Xu Shaochen with a pained expression. “Ah, Mr. Xu, you’ve really stirred up trouble this time. Zhao Quan’s a sneaky guy who’s great at twisting facts. Once he adds some spice to the story in front of Young Master Li, Li won’t let this slide.”

He hadn’t expected Xu Shaochen to suddenly hit Zhao Quan. This was like poking a hornet’s nest.

“Mr. Huang, does this Young Master Li have three heads and six arms, or can he shape-shift like in the legends?” Xu Shaochen asked with interest. For Huang He to be this scared, it seemed that Young Master Li wasn’t someone to be underestimated.

Huang He was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: “He doesn’t have three heads or six arms, and he can’t shape-shift. Mr. Xu, let me give you a bit of advice—this is not someone to mess with!”

“Alright, Mr. Huang. If there’s trouble, it’s my problem. Let’s focus on signing the contract.” Xu Shaochen said to Huang He.

After signing the contract and receiving the keys from Huang He, Xu Shaochen left. Huang He decided to leave town for a while to avoid getting caught up in the fallout.

Carrying the documents, Xu Shaochen and Liu Rushuang went together to the Administration Bureau to register the company.

“Have you thought about the company name? It’s best to prepare a few options so they can all be submitted.”

In the car, Liu Rushuang asked Xu Shaochen.

“Let’s call it Chen Yu.” Xu Shaochen said, somewhat smugly. Since it was his company, he felt it only right to include a character from his own name.

Liu Rushuang rolled her eyes, speechless. But since Xu Shaochen had settled on this name, she didn’t say anything else.

At the Administration Bureau, they filled out forms and other paperwork, dealing with a lot of red tape.

Initially, the staff told them to wait for the result and be notified later. But after Xu Shaochen made a call to Linda, everything was quickly expedited.

“I didn’t expect you to have this kind of influence.” Liu Rushuang said in surprise as they left the Administration Bureau.

After all, these departments typically moved at a snail’s pace, often requiring you to wait days for notification, even when the task could be done swiftly.

But she hadn’t anticipated that with just one phone call from Xu Shaochen, the previously indifferent staff would change their attitude and handle each process smoothly and efficiently.

“Now, please call me Mr. Xu. Sister Rushuang, how about you become my secretary?” Xu Shaochen said with a playful smile. After all, ‘When there’s work, the secretary does it; when there’s none, the secretary becomes the work’.

Liu Rushuang pursed her lips: “You’re dreaming. I’m already a department manager. Becoming your secretary would be a major step down!”

Xu Shaochen just smiled and didn’t say anything. So what if you’re a manager? In the end, aren’t you working under me?

“Come on, let’s shop for a bit. Then we can grab dinner and I’ll take you home. I’ve got another appointment tonight.”

……

The Li Family.

“What did you say? The property I had my eye on was snatched?”

Li Yang instantly jumped up from the couch, looking at Zhao Quan with disbelief.

How dare someone even think about robbing the place he had his eye on? They must have a death wish.

“Yes… Young Master Li, by the time I got the message and got there, it was already too late. I even dropped your name, but that guy not only didn’t care, he also…” Zhao Quan hesitated, seeming too afraid to continue.

“Speak! What else did he say?” Li Yang roared angrily.

Zhao Quan swallowed hard, “He also… he also said that you’re nothing.”

“Smack!”

Li Yang slapped Zhao Quan across the face and cursed: “Useless fool! What’s the point of me keeping you around? You can’t even handle such a small matter!”

“Yes, Young Master Li, you’re right.” Zhao Quan repeatedly apologized with his head lowered, yet a smirk crept onto the corners of his mouth.

The angrier Li Yang was now, the worse that kid’s fate would be.

Damn, you dared to hit me. I’ll make sure you die without even knowing how it happened!

“Go! Check when his company is opening. I’ll personally deliver a ‘special gift’ on that day!” Li Yang’s eyes flashed with a chilling light as he spoke in a frosty tone.

A couple of days ago, Xu Shaochen had humiliated him, causing his rage to boil.

And now, someone else dared to ignore him? This guy must be suicidal.

A gleam of satisfaction flickered in Zhao Quan’s eyes as he quickly responded, “Yes, Young Master Li, don’t worry. I’ll check it immediately.”

……

A private room in a club.

Huang Tao, also known as Fourth Master Huang, was humming a tune while holding two women closely, looking extremely relaxed.

Just then, a middle-aged man walked in and whispered something in Huang Tao’s ear.

“What? Wang Meng?”

Huang Tao’s laid-back expression suddenly disappeared as his face darkened, his brows furrowing together.

“Fourth Master, I heard that Wang Meng personally apologized, which is why the Yellow Hair you sent was released. Now, do you still want to go after that kid surnamed Xu?”

The middle-aged man looked at Huang Tao with a questioning gaze, awaiting further instructions.

Huang Tao’s face shifted between expressions as if he was contemplating something.

“Fourth Master, have a drink.” One of the women offered him a drink with a sweet smile.

“Smack!”

Huang Tao slapped the woman across the face and cursed: “Damn it! Can’t you see I’m thinking? You have no sense—get out!”

“Y-Yes, Fourth Master… please calm down. We’ll leave immediately.”

The two women, their faces pale with fear, quickly bolted out of the room.

“Take action! Damn it, this kid forced my nephew to streak in public. I promised my third sister to cripple one of his legs. Even if the King of Heaven shows up, he won’t be able to save him!”

After a while, Huang Tao slammed his hand down on the table, a vicious look flashing across his face as he gritted his teeth.

“Understood, Fourth Master. Should I get the brothers to handle it?”

The middle-aged man nodded and looked at Huang Tao.

“Yes, do it cleanly. There’s a crackdown on organized crime lately, so make sure this doesn’t get traced back to me.”

Huang Tao lit a cigarette, looked at it briefly, then narrowed his eyes, exhaling smoke.

“Don’t worry, Fourth Master, I’ll handle it carefully.”

The middle-aged man responded and then turned to leave the room.

Huang Tao sat alone on the sofa, his eyes full of malice, as he gritted his teeth, saying, “Wang Meng may be afraid of you, but I, Huang Tao, am not!”
