Chapter 706: Don’t You Find This Irritating?

“Those who are self-righteous usually meet the most tragic ends.”

In the Car, Mei Liangxin spoke while shaking his head as he drove.

That Zhang Deshun was the self-righteous person he was referring to.

He thought he could curry favor with Han Feng, but he ended up offending someone even more formidable.

“Ring ring ring…”

Just as Xu Shaochen was about to speak, his Phone started ringing.

He took it out and saw it was a call from Chen Ju.

“Hello, Young Master Chen. What can I do for you?”

Xu Shaochen answered leisurely.

“The Kong family is finished. Only a few direct members involved in business are barely hanging on. There’s no need to continue wiping them out completely.”

Chen Ju said. This was an unwritten rule in Jingcheng.

The struggles between the major families in Jingcheng were always the most brutal.

For a family, the most important thing was its legacy.

No one knew if their family would be defeated in the struggles tomorrow, so this rule came into being.

After winning, they wouldn’t completely annihilate the losing side.

If someone did that, it would be tantamount to isolating themselves from the entire Jingcheng.

No one would like such a rule-breaker, because such people were often unstable factors.

Unstable factors were always to be eliminated as early as possible.

“So fast?”

Xu Shaochen was a bit surprised. Although he knew the Kong family couldn’t hold out long in a 3 vs 1 situation,

losing in just half a month was still beyond his expectations.

Hearing this, Chen Ju said rather smugly, “You know nothing about our strength.”

“Hehe, would an elephant care about the strength of a group of ants?” Xu Shaochen sneered and retorted indifferently.

When it comes to showing off, you might be strong, but I’m no worse.

Chen Ju was speechless, ultimately no match for Xu Shaochen in boasting: “Alright, when are you coming to Jingcheng? My grandfather wants to see you.”

“Why does your grandfather want to see me?” Xu Shaochen was taken aback, looking very puzzled.

Chen Ju was even more puzzled: “You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? How can any of us guess what the Old Master is thinking?”

“Next week. I’ll come to Jingcheng next week.”

Xu Shaochen pondered for a moment before giving a time. He planned to attend Mei Liangxin’s wedding first, then go to Jingcheng a couple of days later.

He’d stay in Jingcheng for a few days, then notify Sun Hai to meet him there before flying directly to Mg Country.

After dealing with matters in Mg Country and returning, it would be about time for school to start.

With his current financial strength, he didn’t really need to go to school.

But if he wanted to go further and broader, he had to attend school.

Undeniably, education was very important. Without it, there were many things one would never understand.

This was especially true for children from ordinary families. Education was definitely the best choice for getting ahead in life.

Moreover, he was still young. Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy the campus life that young people should have?

“Alright, give me a call when you’re here. I’ll come pick you up.”

Chen Ju agreed.

“Okay, I’ll hang up now. I’ve got another call coming in.”

Xu Shaochen said before hanging up, then called Deng Tianwen back.

“Why are you calling?”

“I’m back in Jiangzhou, just arrived today.”

After hearing this, Xu Shaochen immediately hung up. He thought it was something important, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter.

“Ring ring ring…”

Just after hanging up, his Phone rang again.

Xu Shaochen thought it was Deng Tianwen and answered impatiently, “Are you done yet? Don’t tell me you’re lost.”

“Uh… Young Master Xu?”

A confused voice came from the Phone.

Xu Shaochen was startled and checked the caller ID: Chen Dongqiu.

To be honest, Xu Shaochen had almost forgotten about this person. If he remembered correctly, he appeared in Chapter 251

Ostensibly the second young master of the Chen Family in Yunzhou, he was actually the biggest underground smuggling boss in all of Yunzhou, controlling one-third of the smuggling business in Canglan Province.

Back then, he wanted to pursue Liu Rushuang, but was easily knocked out by Xu Shaochen.

Later, this guy wanted to expand into Jiangzhou. His subordinates who came to develop the Jiangzhou market forced Dean Fu to accept a set of smuggled medical equipment.

Dean Fu came to him for help, and Xu Shaochen made a Phone call to Chen Dongqiu to settle the matter.

Overall, he was a smart person who knew his limits.

However, why would this guy suddenly think of calling him?

“What’s the matter?” Xu Shaochen asked calmly.

“Young Master Xu, I’ve come to Jiangzhou. I hope to have the honor of treating you to dinner.”

Chen Dongqiu said politely.

Although he said it was to treat him to a meal, Xu Shaochen guessed he must have something to ask of him. Otherwise, why would he suddenly think of inviting him to dinner after not contacting him for so long?

This was clearly a case of not visiting the temple without a cause.

However, Xu Shaochen decided to give him face.

After all, he had given Xu Shaochen face in Dean Fu’s matter back then.

“Send me the place and time once you’ve decided. I’ll go there directly in the evening.”

Xu Shaochen said.

“Alright, Young Master Xu. I won’t bother you anymore then.”

Although Chen Dongqiu was trying his best to suppress it, Xu Shaochen could still hear him sigh in relief.

After saying he wouldn’t bother him, he didn’t hang up the Phone, because he was waiting for Xu Shaochen to hang up.

When people of lower status talk on the Phone with those of higher status, hanging up first is considered disrespectful.

This is like when an employee takes a call from their boss. The employee would never be the one to hang up first.

Because if your boss hasn’t finished speaking and you rudely hang up, how would your boss feel with the remaining words stuck in their throat as they hear the busy tone?

Hehe, you might be fired the next day for entering the company with your left foot first.

This point also applies to the hierarchy between relatives and elders.

Xu Shaochen hung up the Phone and sighed helplessly. Business was really busy.

“Sighing at such a young age, people might think you’re seventy or eighty if they didn’t know better,” Mei Liangxin remarked.

“What do you know? I’m worried about something,” Xu Shaochen said irritably.

Seeing this, Mei Liangxin put aside his joking manner and asked seriously, “What’s the matter? What’s got you so worried? Is there anything I can help with?”

“You can’t help, and I can’t burden my brother either,” Xu Shaochen shook his head and said helplessly, “I’m worried about how to spend all the money from Xu Corporation. Every day we earn more than I can spend in a year. I just can’t keep up! Don’t you find this irritating?”

Mei Liangxin’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. He had the urge to drive straight into the truck in front and perish together with Xu Shaochen.

After all, he was poorer than Xu Shaochen. Even if they died, Xu Shaochen would be the one worse off.

Damn, this guy was really too good at showing off. It was truly infuriating.
