Chapter 920: Back to New York Again

After sending off Chale and the others.

Xu Shaochen took a small sip from his wine glass: “Did you record everything?”

“It’s all here.”

Long Yi took a tiny camera from the chandelier and handed it to Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen accepted the camera, his lips curling into a playful smile.

In the early stages, Xu Corporation would surely be welcomed by the Mexican Government.

But later on, the Mexican Government wouldn’t tolerate a foreigner monopolizing their domestic trade market.

Although Xu Shaochen was confident he could stir up the Mexican people to oppose their government when the time came, it wouldn’t hurt to keep an ace up his sleeve.

The people who had just left were all rising stars in Mexico’s political scene—highly influential and full of potential.

If all went according to plan, in three, five, or ten years, Mexico would be under their control.

At that time, this video in Xu Shaochen’s hand would prove invaluable.

People must always take one step while planning for the next two, or even three—a precautionary measure.

“Boss, Miss Nika is here.”

Long Er came in, interrupting Xu Shaochen’s thoughts.

Xu Shaochen put away the tiny camera and smiled, “Let her come in.”

“Yes.”

Long Er turned to leave, and Long Yi tactfully followed suit.

Soon, Nika walked in.

Unlike before, today she was dressed conservatively, having reverted to her work attire.

She wasn’t as sexy as the past couple of days, but her look carried a different charm.

“Sir…”

Before Nika could finish speaking, Xu Shaochen interrupted her: “Shh… Whatever you need to say, save it for later. Now, lie down.”

He was leaving in the afternoon and might not get another chance to enjoy this exotic beauty, so he had to seize the moment.

Nika threw him a seductive glance, then obediently followed his instructions.

Forty minutes later, everything was calm once again.

“Why did you come find me? Can’t bear to part with me?”

Xu Shaochen pinched Nika’s flushed, sweat-dotted cheek, a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Her companionship over the last few days hadn’t been for nothing—Nika had been promoted three levels. Her efforts had paid off.

“I just wanted to say goodbye. After all, without you, I might have spent my entire life as a small department head, with no hope of ever getting promoted.”

Nika spoke haltingly, still catching her breath.

“That’s your own merit. Who told you to be born with such a pretty face?”

Xu Shaochen said jokingly.

Nika, however, nodded seriously: “I have my parents to thank for that; otherwise, I wouldn’t have had this precious opportunity.”

At 3 PM, Xu Shaochen boarded his private jet, accompanied by an impressive farewell party.

………………

10 PM.

The plane landed at New York airport after a layover.

With a large group of bodyguards escorting him, Xu Shaochen walked out of the VIP passage at the airport.

Along the way, people who saw this scene were chatting curiously, wondering about Xu Shaochen’s identity.

“Shaochen.”

Just as he stepped out of the airport, Xie Wei and Li Qianya rushed into his arms with a wave of perfume.

Tang Silin maintained her always haughty demeanor, arms crossed, standing expressionlessly by the car.

But Xu Shaochen could tell that she’d dressed up especially for him tonight, clearly wanting to impress him.

Jenny smiled, and after Xie Wei and Li Qianya let go, she unabashedly gave him a hug.

However, her smile froze when Xu Shaochen’s hand, which was supposed to go around her waist, landed somewhere inappropriate.

Jenny glared at him fiercely: “Welcome back. Come on, dinner’s ready at home.”

“Auntie, your skirt is real stretchy.”

Xu Shaochen teased with a mischievous grin.

“Get lost.”

Jenny’s face turned pink as she scolded him playfully.

Xu Shaochen laughed heartily, then went over to the car and hugged Tang Silin: “Baby, did you miss me?”

“What are you doing? Let go of me! I didn’t miss you at all.”

Tang Silin stubbornly denied it, struggling in his embrace, but to no avail.

The airport was packed with people, especially the one in New York. There were all sorts of people from around the world, from all walks of life.

Seeing Xu Shaochen getting cozy with four beautiful women, passersby turned green with envy, but when they saw his tall and burly bodyguards, they quickly returned to normal.

Sigh, it’s just the way the world works. Some people are starving while others stuff themselves. Because this bastard is dating four women, the world has gained three more bachelors. Truly a heinous crime.

Once in the car, Tang Silin kept silent, but Xie Wei and Li Qianya couldn’t wait to bombard him with questions about Mexico.

After all, Mexico was a pretty well-known country. They had seen several reports about it online.

After finally dealing with the two women, Xu Shaochen took out his cell phone and started browsing domestic forums.

“Huh—”

Suddenly, he noticed that his WeChat classmates group had over 99 new messages.

He opened it and found the topic was on fire.

Zhang Wei: Holy crap! I feel the same. My strength has grown, and I’m quicker too. Did everyone here take that nutrient injection? I saw people online speculating it’s related.

Zhao XX: Yeah, my mom said it could enhance brain capacity. Couldn’t tell where she got it from, but I feel great.

Li XX: Damn! Is this some alien tech? Are the aliens finally planning to invade Earth?

Xu Shaochen chuckled to himself after reading the messages. Turns out some of these idiots had bought Genetic Serums Xu Corporation had leaked through secret channels. Lucky them.

He immediately replied: “There are no aliens. You guys are just too damn bored.”

Wang XX: Whoa, big shot in the house! Old Xu, you’re crazy! I just saw you on the national news.

Zhou XX: Yeah, Xu-ge, I had no idea you were hiding something that big. The Xu Corporation? No chance a company like that is ever gonna have anything to do with little old me.

Lin XX: Don’t be so downbeat. Even if by some miracle, Xu Corporation still won’t ever have anything to do with you.

With Xu Shaochen’s message, the group chat exploded, and the conversation quickly revolved around him.

Nutrient solutions and aliens were instantly forgotten.

“I’ll treat you guys when the semester starts. Anyway, I just got back to New York, almost home.”

Xu Shaochen sighed helplessly. Is this what it’s like to be rich and famous? I just want a pure friendship without any business interests attached.

Damn money, just stay away from me.

“What are you thinking about, grinning like an idiot?”

Jenny nudged him.

Xu Shaochen quickly wiped off his smile: “Was I?”

All four women nodded in unison.

“Not just grinning, you looked so dumb too.”

Xu Shaochen: “…”
