Chapter 622: What If I Made You Jump Off From Upstairs?

“Go on.”

Watching the office door close again, Xu Shaochen said calmly to Dean Fu.

It was as if nothing had happened just moments ago.

Dean Fu was stunned for a while before he finally reacted and hurriedly nodded, “Yes, Mr. Xu, as we were just discussing…”

Meanwhile, outside the office.

“Husband… you… you hit me?”

Mrs. Zhao felt extremely wronged. It was one thing to be slapped by that young brat Xu Shaochen, but now even her own husband had hit her.

Looking at his wife’s wronged expression, Liu Jun was filled with rage, gritting his teeth as he said, “I told you to restrain yourself, but you keep causing trouble! Do you even realize who you just offended?!”

“Isn’t he just some brat? He’s also in business, yet he dares to ignore the Chamber of Commerce President! The audacity!”

Mentioning Xu Shaochen again, Mrs. Zhao’s rage flared up once more.

“Shut up!”

Liu Jun scolded, his face full of helplessness as he said, “You’ve ruined me this time! Do you even know how I became the president of the Chamber of Commerce?”

“Wasn’t it because the old president offended the wrong person and was removed from his position?” Mrs. Zhao looked confused, not understanding why her husband asked this.

Liu Jun said coldly, “The person he offended back then was none other than Mr. Xu inside that office.”

“Th-this can’t be! He’s just a young brat…”

Mrs. Zhao was in disbelief, her voice raising several decibels.

Before she could finish, Liu Jun quickly covered her mouth with his hand, “Keep your voice down! Are you trying to get me killed?”

“Husband… you must be mistaken. He’s just a brat.” Mrs. Zhao lowered her voice, but she still couldn’t fully believe her husband’s words.

Liu Jun shot her a cold glance, then pulled out his Phone and began flipping through it. He handed it to her, “Stop wasting your time playing Mahjong all day, and start paying attention to important matters. If you’d recognized him earlier, we wouldn’t be in this mess now!”

Mrs. Zhao took the Phone. The moment she saw the details about Xu Shaochen, her face instantly turned pale.

“Clatter!”

Her hands trembled, and the Phone dropped to the ground, shattering into pieces. Grabbing onto Liu Jun’s arm, she said in a panic, “H-husband, what… what should we do? He… he won’t let me go… I… I hit his girlfriend earlier…”

“What?!”

Liu Jun’s eyes widened. Upon hearing that his wife had hit Xu Shaochen’s girlfriend, he nearly passed out from anger.

“Explain to me what happened!” Liu Jun asked through gritted teeth.

Mrs. Zhao felt guilty but knew she couldn’t afford to lie. She stammered as she recounted the whole story.

“You… you…”

Liu Jun raised his hand, ready to slap her, but eventually lowered it in despair, “It’s over. I haven’t even warmed the seat as president, and now I’ll be ousted.”

“Click—”

At that moment, the office door opened, and Dean Fu walked out. He looked at Liu Jun and said, “President Liu, Mr. Xu asks for you to come inside.”

Without waiting for Liu Jun to respond, Dean Fu strode off, giving Liu no chance to speak.

“Whew~”

Liu Jun took a deep breath and, with his wife in tow, walked into the office.

“Thud!”

As soon as they entered, Liu Jun dropped to his knees without a word, “Mr. Xu, my wife insulted you out of blindness. I beg you to spare her on account of her pregnancy.”

His wife quickly followed and knelt down as well.

At this moment, all her arrogance from the hospital vanished. She was now full of fear and trepidation, kneeling on the floor with her shoulders trembling.

“You’re the new president of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce?” Xu Shaochen crossed his legs and asked Liu Jun calmly.

Liu Jun nodded respectfully, “Yes, I owe it all to you, Mr. Xu. Without your support, I would never have reached this position.”

“Did you know that your wife just said she wants my little company to close down? The way she spoke nearly scared me to death.”

Xu Shaochen spoke lightly, with a mischievous glint in his eye.

Liu Jun immediately tensed up, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He knelt there, trying to explain, but the words turned into a plea: “Mr. Xu, please, show us mercy. I beg you not to hold her actions against us.”

“If you want me to let it go, fine. Help me with something.” Xu Shaochen proposed.

Liu Jun’s spirits lifted instantly, and he quickly agreed, “Mr. Xu, please, just tell me. No matter the task, even if it’s walking through fire, I won’t hesitate.”

“Don’t make promises so easily. What if I asked you to jump off from upstairs?”

Xu Shaochen joked lightly.

Liu Jun’s expression wavered. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, “If I have the honor of jumping off a building for Mr. Xu, that would be the greatest blessing of my life.”

Liu Jun figured that maybe this misfortune could turn into an opportunity. Perhaps this was his chance.

Xu Shaochen smiled but said nothing. He picked up his Teacup and quietly sipped it, no longer paying attention to Liu Jun.

Seeing this, Liu Jun clenched the muscles in his body. After a moment, he stood up, ran towards the window, and leapt out from the second floor.

“Ah!”

With a scream, Liu Jun hit the ground. Luckily, it was only the second floor, so he didn’t die.

“Husband!!!”

Mrs. Zhao was the first to react. Her face turned deathly pale, and she fainted on the spot.

Liu Rushuang and Liu Ruxu both clutched Xu Shaochen’s sleeves tightly, clearly terrified by the scene.

Even Xu Shaochen was momentarily stunned. After a long pause, he put down his Teacup and walked over to the window, looking down at Liu Jun.

Liu Jun seemed to have broken his leg, with scratches all over his face. Despite the pain, he looked up at Xu Shaochen and said, “Mr. Xu, are you satisfied? If not, I’m willing to jump again.”

“Interesting.” Xu Shaochen gave him a playful smile, “Take care of your injuries. After you’ve recovered, come find me at my home.”

Liu Jun’s face lit up with joy. Ignoring the strange looks around him and the pain in his left leg, he knelt on the ground, bowing deeply as he exclaimed:

“Thank you, Mr. Xu, for giving me this opportunity.”

“No need to thank me. This chance is one you earned yourself. If you don’t cherish it, breaking your leg will have been for nothing.”

Xu Shaochen said indifferently before turning to Liu Rushuang and Liu Ruxu, “Let’s go.”

Liu Rushuang and Liu Ruxu still had pale faces. What Liu Jun had done had left a deep impact on both of them.

The two of them couldn’t understand why Liu Jun would go to such lengths, but Xu Shaochen understood perfectly. It was simply ambition.

Liu Jun wasn’t satisfied with his current position. He wanted to climb higher and go further.
