Chapter 74: Young Master of the Xu Corporation

“Could it be a problem? That guy has a massive appetite. If he really buys everything, we’ll be left with nothing but the Northwest Winds to sustain us.”

Mei Liangxin said, somewhat worried. After all, this might be his only chance in life to get rich overnight.

“Heh, don’t worry. If he dares to swallow it all, I’ll make sure he spits it out completely whole.” Xu Shaochen replied dismissively. So far, Xie Yaohua was the most arrogant person he had ever met.

His arrogance wasn’t about shouting at you or threatening you with words. It emanated from his bones, carrying the weight of orders.

Xu Shaochen had always believed in responding to respect with even greater respect.

If Xie Yaohua had been polite earlier, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

If Xie Yaohua had been willing to pay some price, Xu Shaochen wouldn’t have minded backing out of the contested demolition zone. He might have even been willing to befriend him.

But instead, Xie Yaohua chose to adopt an aloof, superior attitude towards him.

Endure it? To hell with that! Why should he endure it? Does that cat and dog really think they can jump around in front of him?

“Vroom vroom vroom…”

Just as Xu Shaochen opened the car door to get in, the roar of an engine suddenly echoed. A black SUV crashed towards him at full speed.

“Aaaah!”

The surrounding pedestrians screamed in terror, scattering in all directions.

“Boss, watch out!”

Long Er exclaimed, reacting quickly as he yanked Xu Shaochen aside and threw him to the ground.

“Crash!”

Almost simultaneously, the SUV slammed into the Mercedes, completely deforming the front half of the car. The airbags popped out.

Xu Shaochen clambered up from the ground, looking somewhat disheveled. His gaze locked onto the SUV’s driver, and his eyes flashed with a murderous rage. He recognized that man; he had been standing behind Xie Yaohua just a moment ago.

If not for Long Er’s quick reaction, he’d be crippled by now.

“It’s him! That guy is from Xie Yaohua!”

Mei Liangxin also recognized the man, exclaiming in shock as he looked at Xu Shaochen.

The SUV driver noticed Xu Shaochen’s gaze, smirked disdainfully, waved his hand, and drove off.

Xu Shaochen narrowly escaped. If he hadn’t been so lucky, he would’ve spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

But it didn’t matter. This was just a warning, after all.

“Alright, alright, very well. You want to play? I’ll join the game!” Xu Shaochen said through gritted teeth. The man who just attacked him had to die.

Xu Shaochen pulled out his phone and called Han Tianxiong, explaining what had just happened. He instructed Han to find the driver and send him to meet his maker.

He was confident that the Han Family wouldn’t have any trouble obtaining the surveillance footage from the area.

Han Tianxiong, eager to curry favor with Xu Shaochen, obviously wouldn’t refuse his request.

After hanging up, Xu Shaochen dialed Linda’s number: “Linda, help me look into someone named Xie Yaohua.”

“Xie Yaohua? Boss, why do you want to investigate him?”

“You know him?” Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, he’s the chairman of Yaohua Group. He used to cooperate with Taihe Real Estate several times. It seems his company is facing problems. He just scheduled a meeting with me this morning because he wants funding from the Xu Corporation.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shaochen chuckled coldly, “I’ll be at the office soon. Tell him to come find me directly.”

No wonder Xie Yaohua was so eager about the old city redevelopment project. It turns out his company is in trouble.

“You can go back first. I’ll find you tomorrow.”

Xu Shaochen told Mei Liangxin, then got into the Audi and ordered Long Er to drive to the Xu Corporation’s Jiangzhou branch office.

As for Long Yi, it seemed he’d have to repair the car once again.

Once the funds for the old city demolition area came through, Xu Shaochen planned to buy a few more cars.

…

Yaohua Group.

Chairman’s office.

“A’Bao, how did it go?”

Hearing footsteps behind him, Xie Yaohua asked coldly.

A brat dared to act so recklessly. If he didn’t teach him a lesson, the boy wouldn’t understand that certain people are untouchable.

“Boss, everything is settled. I’m sure that brat will never forget this lesson.”

A’Bao sneered, recalling Xu Shaochen’s disheveled appearance, speaking with contempt.

“Good. Now, make the arrangements. The director of Xu Corporation’s Jiangzhou branch just called. I’m meeting with their young master.”

Xie Yaohua nodded. If Xu Corporation didn’t intervene, then Yaohua Group would be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Even if he secured all the funds from the old city demolition, it wouldn’t be enough to save his company.

This meeting with the Xu Corporation’s young master was crucial. If he could secure the backing of this big fish, not only would Yaohua Group be saved, but they could even soar beyond Asia.

After all, once this young master inherits the Xu Corporation, he’ll be one of the most powerful and wealthy people in the world! It’s just a pity that Xie Yaohua didn’t have any understanding of this mysterious young master and didn’t know how to win his favor.

“Yes, boss. I’ll take the car to get washed now.”

A’Bao replied respectfully. After all, the car represents one’s image; it couldn’t be dirty.

“Mm.”

Xie Yaohua nodded without turning around. He was deep in thought on how to please and convince Xu Shaochen to invest in Yaohua Group.

…

Xu Corporation’s Jiangzhou branch headquarters.

At this moment, all the employees were standing outside in two rows, and a red carpet was laid on the ground.

“Who are we welcoming? Such a grand gesture. All the company executives are here!”

“I have no idea, but these are orders from the chairman. Haven’t you noticed that even the chairman came out to greet them personally?”

“I wonder what kind of big shot is coming.”

Everyone was whispering in low voices, their words filled with confusion and curiosity.

Soon, a black Audi pulled up, and everyone immediately fell silent.

An Audi?

Could it be someone from the provincial government?

After all, no one from the municipal government would warrant such a grand reception from the Xu Corporation.

Linda stepped forward quickly, bowed, and opened the car door. “Boss, please step out of the car.”

“Is all this really necessary?” Xu Shaochen got out of the car, feeling a bit speechless.

Gasp—

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw Xu Shaochen.

Who exactly was this guy? So young, yet their chairman treated him with such respect. Everyone’s gazes quickly turned to one of reverence.

The women’s eyes brightened. It was clear that this young man was wealthy and powerful. Some of them even fancied the idea of throwing themselves at him.

As for the men, besides jealousy, they were filled with hope. Perhaps one day, they too would have such an opportunity.

“Everyone, let me introduce you. This here is our young master, Xu Shaochen.” Linda gestured towards Xu Shaochen, smiling calmly at the gathered executives.

Whoa! The moment the words left her mouth, everyone’s eyes went wide with disbelief, staring at Xu Shaochen.

No one expected that the person arriving was the young master of the Xu Corporation.

In an instant, the crowd’s gaze towards Xu Shaochen became fervent. After all, a single word from him could make or break their futures.

Xu Shaochen merely smiled without speaking, following Linda inside the building.

However, he couldn’t deny that this feeling was quite satisfying.

As the two of them disappeared from view, the crowd erupted, buzzing with excitement.

“It’s really the young master! Holy crap, if he takes a liking to me, I’ll be set for life.”

“The young master is so handsome! I’d give up twenty years of my life to marry him.”

“Stop dreaming. With the chairman around, he wouldn’t even look at you…”
