Chapter 599: One Last Piece of Advice

“Nephew, I’m sorry. If it weren’t urgent, I wouldn’t want to compete with you, a junior, for this.”

After signing the contract, Xu Shaochen looked at Sun Shang and sighed helplessly.

But he had to admire Sun Shang.

He hadn’t left and was still here watching this heartbreaking scene.

Sun Shang curled his lips and ignored Xu Shaochen. He turned to the office building owner and asked, “You said you could introduce me to other sellers. Was that true?”

The office building owner was stunned. He hadn’t expected Sun Shang to stick around just for this.

After a long pause, he apologized, “Uh, Young Master Sun, I was just being polite. Were you serious?”

“Damn it!”

Sun Shang cursed and stormed out in fury.

“Wait, Nephew!”

Xu Shaochen hurriedly called out.

“Get lost!”

Sun Shang turned back and shouted angrily, then turned around—BANG!

He slammed into the glass door, slipped, and fell straight to the ground.

Hearing the loud noise, Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but gasp. That sound was loud enough to indicate a hard hit.

“Aiya, tsk tsk tsk, Nephew, I was going to remind you about the glass door. Why didn’t you listen? Young people, always so reckless.”

“Xu Shaochen, are you cursed or something? I can’t deal with you, but I can avoid you, can’t I?”

Sun Shang stood up, holding his head. He glared at Xu Shaochen, gritting his teeth, carefully opened the glass door, and then left.

Xu Shaochen shook his head, then looked at Zhao Qing and the office building owner and said, “Young people these days, they lack patience and are too impulsive.”

Zhao Qing and the office building owner both twitched their mouths upon hearing this.

If you hadn’t suddenly called out to him, he might not have run into the door.

“Pleasure doing business with you.”

Xu Shaochen held the contract and extended a hand to the office building owner.

“Pleasure doing business with you, too,”

the owner quickly said, grasping Xu Shaochen’s hand with both of his, smiling widely.

Xu Shaochen smiled slightly, “I won’t keep you any longer.”

“Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, you must be busy.”

The office building owner, with sharp instincts, quickly bowed and left with the contract.

After the owner left, Xu Shaochen turned to Zhao Qing and asked, “Are the layouts on the upper floors the same as on this one?”

“Yes, they are all the same.”

Zhao Qing quickly replied. He had thoroughly inspected every part of the office building; otherwise, he was afraid Xu Shaochen would be dissatisfied later.

Xu Shaochen nodded and, after a moment of contemplation, said, “Don’t alter the layout of the second to fourth floors; just renovate them as employee workspaces. Transform the fifth and sixth floors into department head offices. Keep the seventh floor vacant as a reserve, and convert the eighth floor into an employee dining hall. Lastly, turn the top floor into a large office for me, including a private suite and a reception room.”

Of course, the office and suite were prepared for his personal use. Even though he would probably come here to work infrequently, it’s better to be prepared.

There’s plenty of space, and money is not an issue, so it’s best to do it right.

“Alright, I’ve made a note of it.”

Zhao Qing responded, indicating that he understood.

At this moment, Long Yi walked up to Xu Shaochen and whispered, “Boss, we just got a call from the hotel; they said Kong Tianjing has left.”

Hearing this, Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow and then patted Zhao Qing on the shoulder, saying:

“Alright, that will be all for now. Keep an eye on the factory site selection. I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving.”

With that, Xu Shaochen turned and left.

“Boss, one of our guys is tailing him. Should we take action?” Long Yi asked.

Xu Shaochen shook his head. “No, just keep an eye on the middle-aged man with him. Kong Tianjing is useless; focusing on him is a waste of resources.”

If Kong Tianjing heard Xu Shaochen’s evaluation of him, he might have been so furious he’d spit blood.

“Yes, Boss.”

Long Yi responded, then took out his phone and sent a text message.

Speak of the devil—just as Xu Shaochen stepped out of the office building, he saw Kong Tianjing.

Kong Tianjing was standing next to a black BMW. Beside him stood two bodyguards. When he saw Xu Shaochen, he waved.

“Young Master Kong, what a coincidence. Are you in Jiangzhou for a tour?”

Xu Shaochen was surprised, then walked over with a smile.

Kong Tianjing said, “It’s not a coincidence. I specifically came to find you.”

“To find me? What’s wrong; didn’t you enjoy almost being buried alive last time? Did you come to Jiangzhou to get yourself another ‘buried alive’ package?”

Xu Shaochen grinned, gave Kong Tianjing a mocking look, and didn’t bother to hide his contempt.

Kong Tianjing’s expression instantly stiffened. A violent glint flickered in his eyes. “Xu Shaochen, I didn’t come to discuss that today.”

“Sorry, but I specifically want to talk about it today. What can you do about it? What are you going to do?”

Xu Shaochen said each word slowly, then reached out and poked Kong Tianjing’s chest with his finger.

As long as the Special Medicine Formula was still in his hands, there would never be true peace between him and the Kong Family. Sooner or later, they would tear each other apart.

Given that, did he need to show the Kong Family any respect?

“Smack!”

Kong Tianjing slapped Xu Shaochen’s hand away and sneered, “I didn’t expect you to hook up with the Chen Family. Do you think that will make the Kong Family back down?”

“I never thought that. It’s just that I believe two people beating your Kong Family together will make you die even quicker.” Xu Shaochen replied with a serious expression.

Kong Tianjing was livid, barely able to contain his fury. He gritted his teeth and said, “Xu Shaochen, Chen Ju approached you solely because of the gold mine. As long as you hand over the Special Medicine Formula, the Kong Family will let bygones be bygones. But if you help the Chen Family seize the gold mine, there will be no way to reconcile with the Kong Family. Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Do I need to explain myself to you? Who the hell do you think you are? You’re just a piece of crap trying to boss me around, idiot!”

After cursing, Xu Shaochen raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said, “Sorry, I’m moving into a new house today and need to get home to celebrate with my girlfriend. I don’t have time to stand here listening to your nonsense.”

“One last piece of advice: This is Jiangzhou. Next time you talk to me, keep your voice down.”

After that, Xu Shaochen gave him a disdainful smile and got into his Rolls-Royce.

“Damn you, Xu Shaochen. I want to see how long you can stay arrogant.”

Watching the departing Rolls-Royce, Kong Tianjing cursed angrily.
