Chapter 57 – Taking over Chen’s



“Pull up the price of the stock? What, seriously?” Recently, Chen Zelong hasn’t been to the company and drowned himself in alcohol, so he didn’t pay attention. That’s why, hearing Lil Gang say that, he immediately cleared up quite a bit.

“That’s right, currently, the price of Chen’s has already returned back to its original position, I heard that it’s going to increase even more!” said Lil Gang.

“What? That’s happening?” Chen Zelong immediately thought that it was a chance, not only would it allow him to recover, he might be able to earn a large amount of money from this!

“What, Young Master Chen, don’t you know about this?” Lil Gang asked in confusion.

“No, no, fluctuation of the stock is natural, how can there be any mastermind behind it!” Chen Zelong immediately denied it. Right now, the only thing he wanted to do was to hurry home and make use of this chance!

After Chen Zelong left, Lil Gang revealed a sinister smile! Of course, Lil Gang is just a nickname, his real name is Ma Qiang. He is one of Ding Baosan’s subordinates, and is called Xiaoma-ge by the people in the underworld. He has once gotten into a conflict with me, but since he is rather smart, he quickly got recognized by Guo Qing and got sent to Hong Kong to take control of a few clubs.

The club that Chen Zelong came to this time, was coincidentally one of the Three Rock Gang’s clubs.

The first thing Chen Zelong did after returning home was turning on the computer to see the price of Chen’s stocks in recent days. He was really surprised after seeing it, the stock price truly increased like it was flying!

Although Chen Zelong didn’t quite understand how the stock market worked, he still understood what something so obvious meant. Right now, a mastermind behind the scene was stabilizing the stock price as the number of transactions of Chen’s stocks decreased.

Chen Zelong thought about it for a while, then made a daring decision! He decided to chuck out all of the Chen’s Corporation’s shares he has on hand, then buy it all back when the mastermind starts selling again. As long as he succeeds, the income it will bring is not just that two billion that was lost, it might even be more!

Of course, it can’t let his father, Chen Tianlei, know about this. He has 25% of Chen’s Corporation’s shares on hand, while Chen Tianlei had 26%. It was only so that the Chen family was able to firmly control Chen’s Corporation. Once one of them sells it and someone takes the chance to take over Chen’s, it may cause Chen’s to be completely destroyed.

If Chen Tianlei finds out about this, he definitely wouldn’t agree to Chen Zelong doing that. However, how could Chen Zelong go and screw himself over.

The Hong Kong stock market was different from the mainland’s. The shares of the shareholders of a listed company didn’t have anything attached to them and can be directly sold on the market.

Hearing Ma Qiang’s report, Guo Qing and I looked at each other and smile. This Chen Zelong fell for it as expected!

The money that entered the market the other day was from Chen Zelong selling all of his other stuff, but he wasn’t able to get too much, since I pretty much swept up all the shares in the market.

I didn’t want to wait anymore, and thus, immediately ordered the subordinates to finish their adjusting phase, causing Chen’s stocks to rise up quickly. Three days later, Chen’s Corporation’s stock price increased by thirty percent! The price was already about right, I didn’t want to pull it any higher, since it was enough for that greedy *******, Chen Zelong, to sell all of his stocks, since it was a profit of more than two billion!

That’s why I started to get the subordinates to start swapping shares in order to create the false image of the mastermind starting to sell his stocks, resulting in the stock price lowering as well.

As I expected, Chen Zelong couldn’t wait anymore, he was greedy for more profit initially, but the mastermind had already started selling! However, he would still profit with this, thus, Chen Zelong made the immediately decision to sell all of his shares quickly! Chen Zelong also got a bit of profit, since at the very least, he earned quite a bit from the shares that he got from building a storage house a while back!

I also understood this, and this was also the profits I deliberately left for him. However, that was it.

Just as he sold it all out, Chen Zelong fantasized about how Chen’s stock price would fall tremendously after he sold his shares, since it was half of the tradeable shares on the market!

However, to his surprise, just after his shares were sold, a huge amount of money rushed into the market and swept up Chen Zelong’s shares as if this had never occurred.

After my goal was achieved, Guo Qing and I received a call from his subordinates to report the situation. Hearing that, the two of us happily raised our glasses to toast. Although buying taking over Chen’s spent nearly thirty billion, it was just a number to me. It was barely anything from my bank account.

At the start, Chen Zelong had a sliver of hope that it was just an action of greed done bby the mastermind, but when he saw Chen’s stock price fly up and increasing several times over, he went completely dumb!

Without any other choice, he could only throw the money he got from selling the stock a few days ago back into the market in order to rebuy Chen’s stocks. However, the stock price of Chen’s was too high and the number of shares in the market wasn’t much, so after spending the majority of it using three days, Chen Zelong was only able to buy back two percent. What’s more, this two percent was something that I specifically left for him.

There was no helping it, Chen Zelong could only pray to everything he can think of for Chen’s stock price to drop as he furiously bought off all the shares he could find! Chen Zelong’s actions could definitely be said as shocking since he actually wished for his company’s stock price to fall.

“Boss, we have 63.2% of the total shares of Chen’s Corporation, what should we do next?” Guo Qing asked dumbly.

“Enter the board meeting, then take over Chen’s!” I said.

“Boss, didn’t you say that you didn’t want Chen’s Corporation?” Guo Qing asked in confusion.

“Eh… I do think that thirty billion is a large sum of money, do you think I’m really rich enough to just have it disappear!” I said. “I at least have to wait until I earn it back from Chen’s!”

Within Chen’s Corporation’s meeting room the next day, every people were in an intense discussion.

“Say, Old Zhao, what’s going on. They called very early in the morning that there was going to be an impromptu board meeting today. Before I was able to ask who it was and what happened, they hung up!” said a shareholder.

“Old Zhang, I don’t know either. I’m in the same position as you. A servant received the call this morning and they said the same thing!” said Old Zhao.

Just as everyone was discussing intensely, the door to the meeting room was pushed open and a young man entered. After surveying the surroundings, he went directly to the position of the chairman of the board, and sat down. That person was naturally me!

“Who is that person? Why is he sitting on Mr. Chen’s seat?”

“Judging from his age, he should be Mr. Chen’s secretary, right? He really don’t know the rules!”

“Yeah, he’s probably new, right?”

The Old Zhang from before couldn’t stand it anymore, and thus stood up to scold me, “Brat, what are you doing! Don’t you know that the seat you’re sitting on belongs to Mr. Chen!”

I smiled softly and said, “Don’t get so worked up, everything will become clear in a moment!”

My words confused the shareholders! However, since they weren’t sure of what I was going to do, they didn’t say anything else.

Chapter 56 – Plan



“Elder Xing, it’s not just then, the Axe gang, even our Red Sun Gang got bullied by them. A few of my motorbike robbers snatched a few bags from people on the streets, but they were seen by the subordinates from the Three Rock Gang. Those people actually got on a truck to chase my subordinates, even after they got out of their turf, the Three Rock Gang still continued their pursuit and was determined to crash them. Right now, my subordinates are still lying on the hospital, one of them has all his limbs broken!” The boss of the Red Sun Gang, Zhang Hongri, also said furiously.

“Yeah! **** them, how is the Three Rock Gang a mobster gang, they’re more or less the police now, deliberately going against us!” Boss Li, who spoke first, continued to complain. “A while back, I took a few birds from the mainland and wanted to sell them to the clubs, but we got discovered by the Three Rock Gang. ****, they sent someone to swept my nightclub and even stole the people! Afterwards, I asked around about it, not only did the Three Rock Gang send the women back to their homes, they even gave them a ten thousand kuai each!”

“Alright,” Elder Yan waved his hand. “The annual Underworld Meeting is coming up, how about this, let’s leave everything to say in the Underworld Meeting!”

Thus, an invitation was sent onto Guo Qing’s desk in his office.

“Boss, the Underworld Alliance sent an invitation over, the Underworld Meeting is going to happen next week, and they’re telling me to participate. Do you think I should go?” Guo Qing asked me with the invitation in hand.

“What does this Underworld Alliance do?” I took a glance at the invitation and asked.

“Oh, it’s like this! This Underworld Alliance is an alliance of the small gangs in Hong Kong. The original purpose of it is to prevent the Azure Gang from being too dominating, it doesn’t have much to do with us, the Three Rock Gang!” said Guo Qing.

“Oh, then is the Azure Gang going?” I asked.

“They probably will, since they still had to give them face!” Guo Qing said. “Boss, what do you think?”

“Of course, why shouldn’t we! I was just getting bored of having nothing to do, let’s go together!” I said excitedly, I haven’t met something as interesting as this in so long! Since I have decided to walk onto the stage, I had to start showing myself in public.

“Boss, this type of gathering is very dangerous, you…” Guo Qing said hesitantly.

“Haha, what is there to be afraid of. Just what haven’t we experienced, we even managed to escape from Liu Zhenhai’s, should we still be scared of this type of small fry!” I laughed.

Guo Qing thought about it, then agreed. Just who was his boss, there might not even be anyone in the world that could beat him!

In the following days, I got a few bankers to start to take in Chen’s Corporation’s shares at a low price. Due to the continuous bad news about Chen’s Corporation, a lot of people sold the stock out, so, me buying it in large quantities didn’t push the price up, especially since the price I told them to offer to buy it at was very low. When the price of Chen’s Corporation’s shares stopped dropping, I had already bought out eighty percent of the shares that was in the stock market.

The remaining twenty percent belonged to shareholders that still had fantasies about Chen’s Corporation. They would only sell it if they got something nice out of it.

Holding eighty percent of the shares in the market was already allowed me to easily control the stock market, thus I immediately got the subordinates to signal that they will buy the shares with a high price in order to cause the stock to rise again.

Since there was no limit to a stock’s rise or fall in Hong Kong’s stock market, so the price of Chen’s Corporation’s shares was instantly pulled back to the level it was at before the enormous fall. Then, I ensured that the price was limited at this level. I naturally wouldn’t let Chen’s stock price to increase infinitely, causing it to rise was only a method to make those people with fantasies about Chen’s Corporation think that the stock will just remain at this level, without decreasing or increasing!

If I merely wanted to earn money, I could completely sell off all the stocks I had. However, I didn’t do that, because I had a subsequent plan…

As I expected, after a day of the price remaining at the same level, the shareholders started to chuck out the stock they had on hand. However, at the same time, aside from my money, another large sum of money came in and started sucking up Chen’s stocks! This caused its price to be pushed high once again, and even break through the highest price it has ever been as…

In Chen’s Corporation’s Chairman’s office an hour earlier.

“Mr. Chen, the price fluctuating of Chen’s Corporation’s stock is very abnormal!” Secretary Chen reported.

“En, I noticed as well. It seems like someone started buying Chen’s stocks in masses when we fell a lot. I wonder what this person wants to do, do they want to get into the board or do they want to earn a large sum of money. If it’s the second situation, that’s whatever, it’s not like we haven’t done that before. However, if it’s the first, then that’s bad!” Chen Tianlei frowned and said while starting at the computer screen.

“Mr. Chen, I fear that it might be the first… Allow me to say something bad, this person has already taken in approximately sixty-seven percent of the stock. If they merely wanted to raise the price to earn money, then his purpose has been achieved, it could be said that he already achieved the stock manipulative quotations, why is he still continuously buying more stock after making the price level?” Secretary Chen analyzed.

“This is what I’m most worried about. However, it’s good that we own fifty-one percent of Chen’s shares. Even if he buys all of the shares in the market, he can’t become the chairman!” Chen Tianlei nodded.

Meanwhile, Chen Zelong was drinking away his annoyance within a grand nightclub. Due to his mistake, his father started to have doubts about his ability, and had temporarily taken away his power so he would self-reflect at home.

The more Chen Zelong thought, the more annoyed he got. If his father wasn’t so determined to sell that piece of land cheaply, he might have been the one to earn several billion! He still didn’t believe his father’s judgement, and didn’t believe that Liu Lei was capable enough to be related to Shuguang Corporation. Until now, he still thought that the reason Shuguang Corporation as willing to spend five billion to buy that piece of land was only because of the position of that piece of land! This also made Chen Zelong all the more determined about his judgement, it’s just that his father made a wrong judgement!

“Aiya! Isn’t this Young Master Chen? What happened, did you get rich and came to celebrate alone?” A voice rang out behind Chen Zelong.

“Who… Who are you?” Chen Zelong asked the person in front of him in a drunk manner.

“Aiya, I’m Lil Gang! We went to get chicks together, did you forget, you ****** three birds by yourself. So amazing!” The person said.

“Oh? Is that so?” Chen Zelong often went to nightclubs and played with a lot of friends. Although he didn’t have any impression of the person in front of him, hearing the praise, he also said happily, “Haha, what’s that. I did seven girls in a night for my fiercest time!”

“Yeah, we all know that Young Master Chen is a fierce person!” Lil Gang patted Chen Zelong’s shoulder and said. “Oh yeah, Young Master Chen, I want to ask you something, I heard your Chen’s stocks fluctuated a lot recently, apparently, there’s someone behind it trying to pull up the price of the stock. Do you know about this?”

Chapter 55 – Crappy land becomes treasured land



Within Chen’s Corporation’s Chairman’s office.

Chen Zelong said angrily to Chen Tianlei while clenching his teeth, “Dad! Why did we sell this land, this time, we let the brat get lucky and got five billion out of nowhere!”

Chen Tianlei looked at the news report on the television and thought about it. After a long while, he finally said, “A Long, do you think this is really as simple as you think? Do you think that if we didn’t sell the piece of land to that Liu Lei, Shuguang Corporation would buy that piece of land from us?”

“Is that not the case?” Chen Zelong said after a momentary blank.

Chen Tianlei shook his head, “If we don’t sell it, then the piece is still worth nothing!”

“Why?” Chen Zelong asked in confusion.

“Heng, this Liu Lei is good. If I’m not wrong, he is actually with the Shuguang Corporation’s representative! Even if they aren’t in cohorts, they must have reached some sort of agreement beforehand! Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that Shuguang Corporation got interested in this piece of land after we just sold it to him?” Chen Tianlei snorted. “A Long, this time, he obviously came targeting us. I suspect that the mastermind behind this is that Liu Lei! Furthermore, you got messed with by him from the start, falling into his trap to spend two billion to buy a piece of useless land!”

“What! How is this possible!” Chen Zelong exclaimed.

“A Long, tell me honestly, did you offend this person!” Chen Tianlei said with a serious expression.

“I…” Chen Zelong hesitated for a moment, then spoke out the truth, including how he hit someone with a car in Yanjing and how the person that sent him to court was this Liu Lei!

Chen Tianlei sighed, “I had thought that you only offended a local power, I didn’t think that this Liu Lei is so influential. It seems like he isn’t simple at all, he even got into contact with Shuguang Corporation!”

“Dad, then what do we do now?” Hearing that even Chen Tianlei said so, Chen Zelong started to feel uneasy.

“What do we do, heng, Hong Kong is still the place of us Chen’s. I don’t believe that he will stop taking actions after this, if he has anymore actions, us Chen’s will never let him off! Apparently, his company is just a newly established small company, even if it is related to Shuguang Corporation, that’s no problem!” Even Chen Tianlei thought that they fell into the trap because they got careless.

The continuous disadvantage news for Chen’s Corporation continuously caused the price of their stock to shake, then fall. First, it was bribing important government officials, then the bad decision of selling the piece of land in Kowloon caused the corporation to lose five billion! All of the normal shareholders begun to lose confidence in Chen’s Corporation, causing a large amount of stocks to be sold.

“Boss, are you going to buy off Chen’s?” Guo Qing asked in confusion after seeing me sit in front of the computer in the past few days just looking at the stock market.

“Hehe, what need do I have of this trash company. I just want to mess with him again when the price of their shares is low, and earn a bit of money while doing it,” I stood up slowly and said. “Oh yeah, did you do what I asked you to do?”

“I already did it, I got all of my subordinates to open an account at the bond companies, they are all waiting for your instructors!” said Guo Qing.

“****, I told you to open a few more accounts, but you didn’t need to open this much, right!” I got Guo Qing to open a few more accounts to operate in order to prevent large transactions to occur on the market so that other people wouldn’t follow us. Yet, there is no need to open this many, right!

“It’s alright! Opening an account doesn’t cost any money!” Guo Qing said after a while.

“Haha! ****, are you trying to kill me with me with a joke!” I laughed loudly after hearing that. What kind of logic is this!

Guo Qing also laughed. This made me couldn’t help but get reminded of the high school life back in the days, during which we also laughed without worries in our past life… But it was all different now.

“Oh yeah, how is Ye Xiaoxiao?” Guo Qing asked.

“We haven’t gotten into contact for so long…” My expression froze and said a bit unnaturally. Guo Qing already noticed my irregularity the day I left school to go to City S. At the time, he also saw me break the glass of the display board and take out Ye Xiaoxiao’s photo. It’s just that he didn’t mention this for a long time. Suddenly mentioning this made me rather uncomfortable today, because Guo Qing rarely talked about relationships with me.

Guo Qing didn’t think that I would reply like that. In his eyes, there was nothing I couldn’t do. He had wanted to change the topic to something casual, he didn’t think he actually brought up such an awkward topic.

“Alright, don’t talk about my stuff. Let’s talk about you, do you have a girlfriend yet?” I asked.

“How should I say it. I couldn’t find one in school, and it’s hard to choose one now. Boss, you also know that, in my position, I can get a group with a wave of my hands, but… don’t laugh at me when I say it. I actually just want to be like you, and have a real relationship!” said Guo Qing.

I nodded. Guo Qing was right, when people had above a certain level of money and position, love was no longer pure, there were too much interests in it. That’s also the real reason why I didn’t like to show off my prowess.

Seeing that we couldn’t continue down this topic, I hurriedly changed topics, “Is the gang successful recently?”

“It’s alright, I’ve been doing like you asked, not disturbing the people, not endangering the people, and not going against the country…” said Guo Qing.

“Alright, alright, you make yourself sound like an all rounded teen in the new era, why do you make it so weird?” I waved my hand and said.

“I am though!” Guo Qing said as if it was natural.

Just as we were speaking, within a mansion in Hong Kong, several people were having an intense discussion. Although these people didn’t look too cool, their identities weren’t normal, they were all powerful people within Hong Kong.

“Elder Xing, you are the eldest, so say something!” A muscular hulk stood up and said with a dissatisfied expression.

“En, Boss Li, don’t get angry for now. We have to discuss about how to handle it! Since I, the old man, is the chairman of the Underworld Alliance, I can’t watch Hong Kong’s underworld get screwed over like this!” That Elder Xing was a typical old fox. He didn’t say anything specific, and instead just spoke flashy words.

“Yeah, Elder Xing, say, who in the underworld doesn’t get involved in drugs. My subordinates went to sell smack in Three Rock Gang’s club, now only did our stock get taken away, my people got beaten half to death. They even warned me that if we go to their turf to sell drugs, then they’ll eliminate our Axe Gang!” The boss of Axe Gang, Lei Zhong, said.

“Xiao Lei, no matter what, you guys are in the wrong first for this. For us, the thing we hate most is people crossing borders. Don’t you know how to tell your people not to go onto Three Rock Gang’s turf?” Elder Xing raised an eyebrow and said.

“About this…” Lei Zhong also understood that he was in the wrong here, so he didn’t say anything.

Chapter 54 – Making things worse



“Thank you, there’s no need for now. The reason why borrowed money from you was Young Master’s private decision. Now that our Master knows about it, he will fully support Young Master, so we don’t need a loan right now!” said Secretary Chen.

Mr. Shen thought to himself, this Chen’s Corporation truly doesn’t lack money, otherwise, why would they not take the loan he brought to them! Thus, he felt incredibly good about his earlier decision, and after chitchatting with Secretary Chen a bit more, he left.

Secretary Chen stood in the corridor and let out a long sigh, then wiped away the sweat on his forehead. After that, he turned to walk back to the Corporation’s Chairman’s office.

“Secretary Chen, why did you come back?” Chen Tianlei was very confused seeing Secretary Chen return.

“Mr. Chen, the bank had agreed that this two billion doesn’t need to be returned immediately!” Secretary Chen returned the cheque to Chen Tianlei.

“No need to immediately return it? Why?” Chen Tianlei didn’t believe that the bank would actually not hurry them to return the money.

Thus, Secretary Chen told Chen Tianlei about what had happened earlier in the corridor. After hearing that, Chen Tianlei looked at Secretary Chen in praise, “You did well! It is an important time for us right now, this two billion might have a decisive effect!”

After Secretary Chen left, Chen Tianlei sighed, this Secretary Chen was truly talented, if Chen Zelong was half as intelligent as him, the situation wouldn’t have turned out like this.

Meanwhile, I sat in front of the television in satisfaction, it seems like the first step of my plan was very successful. Although not much has happened, I easily caused Chen Zelong to make a blunder. Now, I should also come out, I don’t feel good about always using ploys with him, I at least had to make Chen Zelong know that he turned like this because of offending me.

Therefore, I smiled evilly as I picked up the phone. Let me make things worse for him!

“Mr. Chen, we bought this piece of land with two billion, you’re going to sell it for fifty million now?!” Secretary Chen quickly asked, thinking that he heard it wrong.

“That’s right, fifty million! Right now, it’s not bad if someone buys it off with fifty million!” Chen Tianlei said. “If we can build skyscrapers, then people would fight over it even if it was two bllion, if you can’t, then they would even find fifty million a lot! Now that this has happened, everyone in the industry already knows that there is no way of getting past it, we might as well sell it quickly instead of keeping it! Although the bank isn’t pressuring us to return the money, once our details are known, they would definitely be the first ones to come!”

“I understand, Mr. Chen, I’ll go and say it to the people at the auction later!” Secretary Chen nodded.

“Alright, go now!” Chen Tianlei waved his hand unenergetically. It wasn’t terrible for this to be a lesson to Chen Zelong, but the price was truly too big. They lost a hundred and ninety fifty million in one go! And this isn’t even including the money used to bribe Huo De!

Chen Tianlei sighed and thought back to when he got to Hong Kong illegal and how he started off with nothing until he owned more than several billions. He started wondering how is his brother back home. Now that he thinks about it, he hasn’t returned for thirty something ears.

Right now, his son was truly a disappointment, but he couldn’t do anything about it. He still doesn’t know that this whole thing was caused by his darling son in the mainland. If he did, then who knows what he would think!

“Boss, Chen’s is preparing to sell that piece of land in Kowloon this Saturday!” Guo Qing said to me.

“Oh? Is that so, how much? I asked.

“The bottom price is fifty million, but I think they’ll find it difficult to sell it with this price!” Guo Qing said honestly.

“Alright, then we’ll just by it!” I said plainly.

“What? Boss, although this piece of land is cheap, there isn’t any use at all. Although I am very influential in Hong Kong right now, I can’t affect the governmental departments’ decisions!” Guo Qing said in disbelief. “There truly isn’t any use of buying this piece of land!”

“Don’t worry, this piece of land will have value, and it will be used to do what it is for!” I smiled.

Thus, I successfully bought the piece of land with a price of fifty-one million without any other competition on Saturday’s auction. A lot of the real estate developers all laughed at me, the “upstart idiot” from mainland who didn’t understand Hong Kong’s policies, since I actually bought this sort of crappy land!

Hearing that it was me who bought the piece of land, he got happy for quite a while. From his perspective, I will also pay for this!

However, things often developed in a way that people expect it to. Otherwise, just what am I going to do!

Not long after I bought the piece of land, a business representative from Songjiang City’s Shuguang Corporation headquarters arrived in Hong Kong for a friendly visit and business discussion that would last a week!

The reason was simple. Since Hong Kong has returned to the nation’s embrace, as the largest business empire in the world, Shuguang Corporation naturally had to help develop the country’s economy, and thus prepared to invest in Hong Kong to start a branch there.

Since there was all benefits without harm to the nation or Hong Kong, the higher-ups in the mainland and the Hong Kong government paid close attention to it, and reminded all related departments that they had to make it happen.

Although this was definitely a huge news for Hong Kong’s business industry, the businessmen didn’t have too much thoughts. The world’s largest corporation was still something very faraway for them.

Everything went on very smoothly, everyone could tell that Shuguang Corporation’s representative was very willing to make this a success especially since the Hong Kong government had very good conditions for someone that had arrived to build up their economy and deal with the employment issues for a lot of people.

However, Shuguang Corporation’s representative only chose one piece of land for the address of their branch office – the piece of land I bought in Kowloon.

The Hong Kong government was very troubled about this. This piece of land had already been auctioned off to another company, so the government could only express the fact that they could sell other pieces of land at a discounted price.

Yet, the representative of Shuguang Corporation expressed that since the piece of land was in the business district, if they had to have a branch office in Hong Kong, it had to be there!

The Hong Kong government could only get more troubled, since Hong Kong was still a capitalist place, meaning that whatever the government sold no longer belongs to the government. They could only express helplessly that if Shuguang Corporation really wanted to open their branch office their, they could only discuss with the company that bought the piece of land in private. There was nothing that the government could do about it.

Shuguang Corporation’s representative immediately expressed their understanding and said that they would talk about it with the owner of this piece of land.

Of course, this was all part of my plan. It was also me that called the Shuguang Corporation’s representative over.

The owner of this piece of land was me. Shuguang Corporation’s real owner was also me, so there was no need to negotiate at all. However, I still had to put on a show for everyone else. Thus, a supposedly very intense business negotiation turned in chat over tea within one of Three Rock Corporation’s meeting room, since the outside wouldn’t know what we talked about anyways. Finally, we announced to the outside world that I sold the piece of land to Shuguang Corporation with an astronomical price of five billion! I intentionally did this just to piss off Chen Zelong.

There were no other problems for this piece of land either, since the government naturally did the paperwork for Shuguang Corporation, meaning that there would be no limitations for the buildings constructed on this piece of land!

Chapter 53 – To no end



“This is XX TV, it is the midday news right now. This morning, our station’s employee received an anonymous package, within it was a VCD. The contents of it shocked me greatly…”

After that, what the television played was actually a recording of Chen Zelong and Huo De’s illegal transaction in the seaside mansion!

Chen Zelong’s eyes were like they were about to spurt fire, and it was like smoke was coming out of his head. He stood up and kicked the television, turning the huge LED screen immediately into trash, but at the same time, Chen Zelong’s new leather shoes were also turned to trash.

“What the **** happened? Is there no end to this!” Chen Zelong roared furiously.

“Young Master… Don’t get angry for now, I fear this is going to be difficult… We have no way to continue to hide it anymore…” Secretary Chen said in a depressed manner.

Everything had become solid facts under such a clear video, it was unable to be changed!

Chen Zelong also realized that there seems to be no way to improve this, so he acted like he was going crazy, he smashed everything he saw for a long while before finally sitting back onto the sofa.

The phone rang, causing Chen Zelong to pick up the phone in depression.

“A Long, what did you do? How can you let others record this?” A solemn voice carrying a hint of anger sounded out from the other end of the phone.

“Dad, I… I don’t know what happened, I already checked for electronic devices before, there wasn’t any surveillance or tapping equipment!” Chen Zelong said innocently.

“Alright, stop talking. Although I don’t blame you for this, it happened due to your negligence, think back on your actions in this period of time. Just leave the other things to me,” Chen Zelong’s father, Chen Tianlei, sighed.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Tianlei took a deep breath. As he aged, it was getting a bit difficult for him to manage the huge Chen’s Corporation. His eldest son, Chen Zejin, had no interest in business at all, instead, he was determined to be an artist and had went over to other countries to wander around, experiencing life. That really angered Chen Tianlei a lot!

His second son, Chen Zelong, was not as smart as his eldest, but was very interested in the family business. He was able to share some of Chen Tianlei’s burden for the business, so he wasn’t very strict with this second son, and spoiled him a lot.

For example, in terms of the things surrounding this piece of land in Kowloon, Chen Tianlei didn’t agree with him doing this. However, Chen Zelong was determined to do it, since he thought that it would earn a lot of money. That’s why Chen Zelong secretly loaned money from the bank behind Chen Tianlei’s back. When Chen Tianlei found out, he merely told Chen Zelong to be more careful, and didn’t scold him too much.

Actually, Chen Tianlei didn’t support Chen Zelong doing this, since Hong Kong was different from before, the legal system was completely in place, it was not easy to use other methods. This was especially true since Chen Tianlei wanted to enter the mainland market, which makes a good reputation a must.

The reason behind this wasn’t because Chen Tianlei really cared about abiding by the law, after all, just how many people that rose to the top in Hong Kong in the early days are completely innocent? Just how many have never done illegal things? It’s just because the era was different.

“Secretary Chen, come over for a moment!” Chen Tianlei dialed using the internal line and called Secretary Chen.

After two to three minutes, Secretary Chen arrived. There was only a single floor of difference from Chen Zelong’s CEO office to Chen Tianlei’s chairman office, so Secretary Chen arrived very quickly.

“This is a two hundred million cheque, give this to Chen Zelong later and tell him to go to the finance department. After getting it stamped, go and repay the bank’s loans!” Chen Tianlei pointed to a signed cheque on the table and said.

“Mr. Chen, there’s no hurry of returning the bank’s loan, right?” Secretary Chen was confused. Normally speaking, when a business owes the bank money, they would drag it on and repay it when the deadline arrives, there’s no reason to take the initiative in returning it!

“No hurry? The moment the news at noon comes out, the bank will be the first to come and ask for their loan back. I think that are already on their way!” Chen Tianlei said. “Ai! Although I can help A Long return this two hundred million, the corporation’s projects are going to be forced to pause, since we don’t have much liquid assets left.”

Secretary Chen shook his head and didn’t say anything. He picked up the cheque from the table then walked out silently. Sometimes, Secretary Chen felt rather pitiful for Chen Tianlei’s situation, although Chen Zelong was interested in business, he had a major Young Master’s temper, and was very arrogant, it was hard to do anything huge with this sort of personality.

It truly was as Chen Tianlei expected, before Secretary Chen got to Chen Zelong’s office, he saw a few people walk over. They were the people from the bank!

Secretary Chen quickly went over, he wanted to talk to these people first, so that they won’t get into a fight with Chen Zelong, who was in a bad mood.

“Mr. Shen, what business did you come to our company for?” Secretary Chen asked.

“Secretary Chen, I believe you also saw the news, right. You definitely won’t be able to continue with your Kowloon project, is it possible to return the money to us first, so that we face the higher-ups!” Mr. Shen said.

Secretary Chen swore quietly in his heart, this fellow is a ******* piece of ****. When Chen’s is in success, he tries everything he can to get close to us, and now, Chen’s haven’t gone down yet, but he’s already acting like this! However, as a secretary, he couldn’t say anything, and thus, he just smiled, “Mr. Shen, of course we need to return the money. We don’t care about just this little bit, since your bank lacks money so much, then we’ll just borrow from other banks!”

Hearing Secretary Chen’s words, Mr. Shen momentarily blanked and thought, didn’t Chen Zelong already throw the two hundred million onto the piece of land? From Secretary Chen’s tone, it seems like Chen’s still have a lot of money? Yet, then he thought, no, they must be tricking him! Thus he said, “You can repay the money to me now?”

“Of course, if you need it now, then I can give it to you!” With that, Secretary Chen took out that two hundred million cheque to Mr. Shen, then said. “This amount of money was originally going to be used to purchase construction materials, since you came, then I’ll give it to you first, I’ll go and ask for another cheque from Mr. Chen later!”

Mr. Shen took a look at the cheque, it definitely was real! He has worked for so many years in the bank, of course he can tell whether a cheque was real or not! However, he started to get shocked, this Chen’s Corporation isn’t lacking money, they actually appear very rich. A mere Secretary was able to make the decision to return two hundred million to them, it seems like they don’t lack this two hundred million, this caused Mr. Shen to start reconsidering…

Right now, his action clearly showed that he won’t have any relationships with Chen’s Corporation anymore in the future. No, if Chen’s Corporation is truly so rich, then he cannot just ruin the relationship like that!

Mr. Shen hesitated and said, “Hehe, Secretary Chen, look, I’m just kidding, how could I come and hurry you guys to repay the loan. We are the bank, how could we care about this mere two hundred million. The real purpose we came for today is to ask Director Chen whether you guys need any more loan. Our bank can prioritize it!” With that, he handed the cheque back to Secretary Chen.

Chapter 52 – Is it Over



“Young Master, I don’t know either!’ Secretary Chen was also very confused.

“Heng, only the three of us were three, no one else. So, Secretary Chen?” Chen Zelong asked.

“Young Master, do you mean that I leaked it? How is that possible! What good is it for me, I’ve been with you for five years, aren’t you clear about what I’m like! What’s more, how much can I sell this news to the newspapers for? It’s not even more than the car washing money that Young Master, you, give me every month…” Secretary Chen quickly explained.

Hearing that, Chen Zelong’s expression softened a little. Secretary Chen was right, there was nothing good for him for this to get published. If he (Chen Zelong) fell, then Secretary Chen was going to be facing unemployment as well. He didn’t treat Secretary Chen badly, so he (Secretary Chen) had no reason to do this. Could it be Huo De, the old fellow? That’s even more impossible, could it be that this old guy got used to a peaceful life, and wanted to spend the rest of his days in prison? Only if he had something wrong with his brain!

Now that he eliminated the suspicions from the other people, only he was left. So, unless he sleepwalked, he couldn’t have possibly exposed this, but he never noticed that he had the habit of sleepwalking!

That’s weird, could it be a ghost? Although Chen Zelong acted like a typical Young Master, he wasn’t a ******, and able to handle himself in Chen’s Corporation was a proof of that.

“Young Master, could someone have installed some sort of tapping device in the room?” asked Secretary Chen.

“Impossible, I already used devices to check that the room was safe the day we talked!” Chen Zelong said confidently. However, how was he supposed to know that even the world’s best spy organization won’t be able to detect Shuguang Corporation’s newest product!

“That’s weird, could someone have stood by the door and listened the day when you had the conversation?” Secretary Chen continued.

“That is a possibility, you are someone I trust, but it’s hard to say that about those servants. Although they were investigated when they got employed, it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t sell us out for a profit!” Chen Zelong nodded. “Alright, I’ll get you to investigate this! If it really can’t be helped, then just change all of the servants!”

“Understood, Young Master!” Secretary Chen answered. “However, how do we handle this?”

“Handle what? We don’t need to care about it at all, there is plenty of ******** news in Hong Kong every year, who would remember this after a few days! The newspaper didn’t show any solid proof, so they probably just made it up. If they had concrete evidence, they can’t wait to publish it, so it’s fine as long as we don’t admit it!” Chen Zelong shook his head.

However, how could I go along with Chen Zelong’s wishes? Just as Chen Zelong heavily scolded the media for making things up, and writing about rumors when Hua De and him don’t even know each other, another secret fax arrived on the desks of the presses.

“Haha, Boss, you’re amazing. You’re pushing Chen Zelong into a more and more reactive position!” Guo Qing praised.

“The current effect is what we want, we want to show everyone a lying Chen’s Corporation!” I smiled sinisterly and said.

On the second day, huge photos of Chen Zelong shaking hands with Huo De appeared on the headlines of every major newspaper and magazine. The clear titles said “Chen Zelong and Huo De don’t know each other? What does Chen’s Corporation want to hide!”

Chen Zelong was beyond furious while he held the newspaper in his office as he shouted to Secretary Chen, “No matter what you do, you have to find this person! This is pissing me off!”

“Young Master, don’t get angry first, right now, we have to discuss about how to deal with this. The journalists downstairs have already surrounded our company’s tower!” Secretary Chen wiped away his sweat and said.

“****, scared my ***, come with I, the Young Master. If that doesn’t work, then get the Azure Gang and chuck them all away!” Chen Zelong slammed onto the table and said.

Secretary Chen didn’t dare to say anything as he followed Chen Zelong onto the elevator. He sighed in his heart, this Chen Zelong is too impulsive. He actually got the crappy idea of using mobs to deal with this. However, this was all a thought, he didn’t dare to raise the issue when Chen Zelong is furious.

“Director Chen, didn’t you say in person on the news the day before yesterday that you don’t know Huo De. Then please explain what’s going on with this photo?” Seeing that Chen Zelong came out, the journalists all swarmed up to ask.

“There’s nothing to explain. A photo can’t say anything. Must you know him if you took a photo with him?” Chen Zelong explained forcefully.

“Director Chen, I fear your explanation isn’t that reasonable, right?” Another journalist immediately retorted.

“Unreasonable? How is it unreasonable? It might even be computer generated. The computer technology is so advanced right now… For example, that Shuguang Corporation, their newest photo editing software can create this sort of effect!” Chen Zelong argued.

“Then does Director Chen mean that this photo was intentionally created?” A journalist from one of Chen’s Corporation’s subsidiary newspapers helped Chen Zelong out.

“Yes, that’s right!” Hearing that someone helped him out while he was feeling anxious, Chen Zelong immediately continued down the idea. “I suspect there is a mastermind behind this. This person should be Chen’s Corporation’s competitor. Think about it. If this photo is true, then why didn’t he show it alongside the fax from a few days ago? Why did he only send it out after a day? It’s not hard to tell that he had another intention!” With that, Chen Zelong wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

The Chen’s Corporation’s journalist also added, “So it’s like that, it seems like we misunderstood Director Chen, then we’ll stop disturbing you!” With that, he acted like he was going to leave.

When other journalists saw the situation evolve like this, they understood that there was no need to continue to stay and all left one after another.

Thus, the commotion was dealt with fortunately by Chen Zelong’s fortunate speech.

Yet, is it really over?

In the following days, Chen Zelong couldn’t be more relaxed. The negative news were dealt with one after another, and there weren’t any more negative news, causing Chen Zelong to get a bit proud.

“How’s that, Secretary Chen, I was good that day, right? I easily dealt with those journalists!” Chen Zelong laid on his chair in the office and said proudly.

“Yes, Young Master, you really are amazing. Not only did Chen’s Corporation dealt with its danger, their fame improved a lot as well. Right now, a lot of the citizens in Hong Kong know that we’re going to build high class residential areas there and have called to ask about it!” said Secretary Chen.

“Haha, although I don’t know which competitor planned all this, but if he knew that his actions gave us free advertisement, he will definitely die of anger!” Chen Zelong said and casually turned on the television.

Chapter 51 – Heavy Bomb



“However, don’t worry, there’s still profit made from this piece of land. Once the news of business skyscrapers being built on this land is released, I can use this piece of land to apply for loans from the bank!” Chen Zelong nodded. “Oh yeah, get someone to buy a phone for me!” Chen Zelong said as he pointed at the trash at the corner of the wall.

“Young Master, last time I got someone to buy two, there’s one left, I’ll get someone to send it over now!” said Secretary Chen. He knows about the temper of this Young Master, he smashes his phone every time he’s angry, so he just decided to get someone to buy an extra one.

Hehe, this time, Chen Zelong won’t be able to avoid death even if he wanted to, and there’s also that Huo De, I think he won’t be able to wait till the day his grandson is one month old!

I installed a pinhole voice monitor and camera, that was just produced by Shuguang Corporation’s military factory in South Africa, on a very good angle in the room, allowing Guo Qing to completely record everything that would happen in the room using his laptop.

After a bit more than ten minutes, Secretary Chen called Chen Zelong through the internal line that Huo De had arrived and that the cheque had been prepared.

Chen Zelong signaled Secretary Chen to bring Hua De directly to the room. After a while, a foxlike old man with a face full of wrinkles walked in. Chen Zelong immediately went up to shake his hands with a smile, “De-ge, you came!”

Huo De nodded and said, “Director Chen, is the cheque ready!”

Chen Zelong immediately swore about how this fox is direct enough, asking for money the moment they meet! However, he still controlled the fury in his head and smiled, “Yes, I already got someone to prepare it. As for the ten million USD we talked about last time, I had already got someone to transfer it over to your wife’s account outside the country!”

“Okay, that’s fast enough! Then I won’t waste my breath either, I’ll prepare the papers for you this weekend by the latest!” Hua De nodded.

“Thank you, De-ge! Secretary Chen!” Chen Zelong gave a cue to Secretary Chen, who immediately handed the cheque to Huo De. “Mr. Huo, this is an anonymous cheque from a Swiss bank, you can cash it in any time.”

Huo De received the cheque and examined it carefully before putting it into him pocket with a bright smile. Then he let out a sigh, “Director Chen, don’t blame me for being doing this, this thing isn’t a joke, I have to get enough in one go! What’s more, the paperwork for your land in Kowloon isn’t that easy to do, I have to take a huge risk!”

“I understand, De-ge, I’ll be troubling you!” At the same time, Chen Zelong swore in his heart, you ******* got enough, but I made a huge loss!

“Then alright, Director Chen, there’s stuff to do at the bureau, so I’ll be going back first!” Huo De stood up to say his farewell. “Just wait for the good news!”

Chen Zelong also stood up and nodded, “Then I won’t ask you to stay, after it’s done, I’ll prepare a feast!”

“Hehe, no need for that. My identity makes it inappropriate to attend the feasts held by you real estate developers!” Huo De waved his hand and said.

Chen Zelong was just being courteous, he truly hoped that this old thingy doesn’t go, and it would also help them save a bunch of money. Thus, he said to Secretary Chen, “Secretary Chen, send De-ge out!”

The scene that happened just now was completely recorded down. When I got back to the car, Guo Qing raised his thumb, “Boss, you’re too amazing, the position of this camera is too professional, it looks like a Hollywood movie. The angle was truly too amazing!”

I answered vaguely, “Alright, let’s go back. I want to see a Chen’s Corporation that’s suspected of shady deals!”

“Hehe, Boss, you’re too smart!” Guo Qing praised.

“Brat, you’re the big bro of a gang already, yet you’re still kissing *** so much!” I chuckled.

“In front of boss, I’m not the big bro!” Guo Qing also smiled.

I sighed. Several years past within the blink of an eye, and now we’re all grown up. The things that happened when I just got reborn is still clear in my mind, dealing with Liu Kesheng, suffering together with Guo Qing… Arguing with Ye Xiaoxiao… Thinking about her, my heart tensed, I didn’t know why, but my thoughts of her increased day by day. And the chick Jia Jing, does she still remember the promise back then… And that chick Xu Ruoyun, did she forget about me, did she find her happiness… And Wu Yingying, I wonder if she already forgot about me, the terrible person that always went against her, and always crashed into her car… Lastly, my Xiao Zi, although her career is blooming, we haven’t met for more than a year, although we keep on calling, it was unable to fill in how much I miss her…

I don’t know if it was due to the passing of time that made me miss and yearn for what had happened before more. Or is it because I had too many regrets in my previous life that I don’t want to leave any regrets behind in this one.

However, my biggest wish right now was for Zhao Yanyan to wake up.

During the night, an anonymous fax was sent to every newspaper and magazine office… This was the first step of my plan.

The news and media in Hong Kong were in the hands of individuals, they didn’t care about the reality of the news, as long as it was a big enough hit, and shocking enough, they would dare to publish it!

“Chief Editor, I received an anonymous fax here!” An editor wearing glasses shouted as he ran over to the chief editor’s office.

“What is it, Xiao Wang, what’s it about?” The Chief Editor asked.

“It’s about Chen’s Corporation bribing the Development Department’s high ranking official!” Xiao Wang said in a worked-up manner.

“Let me see quickly!” Hearing that, the Chief Editor immediately got excited.

“Oh? There’s even the conversation?” The chief editor said in surprise as he held the fax that Xiao Wang handed over. “It’s really detail! Alright, Xiao Wang, immediately go and organize it and change tomorrow’s headline to this!”

“However, Chief Editor, we don’t know if this fax is real, what is…” Xiao Wang hesitated and said.

“What are you scared of, so what if it’s fake, in this era, we’re not the only one that publishes fake news!” The Chief Editor said without caring at all.

“Is this really okay?” It seemed like Xiao Wang had just started working not long ago, so he was still rather worried.

“You idiot, hesitated your ***, if everyone’s like you, then our newspaper just needs to wait for the day it shuts down!” The chief editor said impatiently.

“Understood, I’ll immediately get it done!” Xiao Wang didn’t dare to argue and said quickly.

The other newspapers and magazines also received the same fax at the same time. The remaining actions were pretty much all the same, they all changed the original headline to this fax…

The next morning, this news blew up in Hong Kong’s business industry like a heavy bomb. Everyone in the industry started talking about it…

“****, Secretary Chen, tell me what this is! Why does this news report have our conversation word for word?” Chen Zelong said with a dark expression as he held a morning post.

Chapter 50 – Illegal Deal



“Heng, you said it yourself, no matter how influential he is, that’s just in the mainland! In Hong Kong, what do we, the Chen family, fear!” Chen Zelong raised up his sign and shouted. “1.8 billion!”

“Young Master, adding two hundred million in one go isn’t that good, right…” Secretary Chen said with a bit of heartache.

“What are you scared of, if you don’t make a sacrifice, you won’t get anything. If we don’t scare this brat and make him think that we have plenty of money, then would we even be able to get this piece of land?” Chen Zelong said. “Don’t worry, the value that this land can bring us is about three billion, even if we buy it with two billion, we won’t be making a loss!”

“1.95 billion!” I continued to call. Guo Qing had already investigated clearly that Chen Zelong only brought two billion, which was why I couldn’t make it so that they would be unable to raise the price anymore.

“Hahaha!” Chen Zelong couldn’t help but laugh maniacally after hearing that. Then he said to Secretary Chen, “1.95 billion, I think he’s out of money. Haha, I’m smart, I brought exactly five million more than him. Even the heavens are helping me!”

“Wait… Young Master, I feel like something’s not right! Why do I feel like he’s raising the price maliciously!” Secretary Chen said.

“Wait what, if we wait any longer, then that’s the end of the deal. What raising the price, 1.95 billion is his limit, he’s out of money, can’t you tell! Or else, why wouldn’t he directly call for two billion!” Chen Zelong said anxiously, then he hurriedly raised up his sign and shouted. “Two billion! I call two billion!”

“Two billion once… Two billion twice… Two billion thrice… Sold! Congratulations to Chen’s Corporation for getting this piece of land!”

“Haha, see, I told you, 1.95 billion was his limit, he’s out of money!” Chen Zelong said proudly.

“Yes, yes, Young Master was brilliant!” Secretary Chen said. Since they had obtained the land, Secretary Chen stopped thinking about anything else.

To be honest, I was rather nervous just now, since I was scared of there being something wrong with Guo Qing’s information. I didn’t care about buying a crap piece of land with two billion, I was just afraid that I couldn’t destroy the Chen family.

Guo Qing and I looked towards each other with a smile and nodded. Both of us understood that the plan succeeded.

In comparison, the other guests at the auction were not as happy as us. However, they had nothing to complain about. In terms of violence, they knew they were not as powerful as Guo Qing. In terms of money, they also knew that they weren’t as rich as Chen’s Corporation. There was just one exception, and that was Chen Zelong, who deliberately looked down upon me when he went out, with the meaning of “you dare to come to Hong Kong to cause trouble without any money!”

I deliberately pretended to be depressed as I thought, ‘you won’t even know how you died later on, I’ll let you be full of yourself for a few days!’

Guo Qing and I got onto a Hongqi car that was waiting outside the door one after another, but Chen Zelong did not have the chance to see this.

After the car started, I revealed a sinister smile. If it was like I expected, Chen Zelong would start operating on this land when he returned. Technically speaking, he didn’t get that two billion through proper loans, so he probably needed to hurry back to deal with that.

I put a slither of my mental energy on Chen Zelong. This would allow me to easily find him wherever he is. The only disadvantage of it was that it didn’t last that long, because as time passed on, the energy would dissipate by itself.

Ten minutes later, I ordered the driver to start driving along the roads I directed as I used my powers to track Chen Zelong’s location.

After the auction, Chen Zelong didn’t immediately go back to the company, and instead drove to a mansion of his by the sea.

Since we weren’t directly following him, Chen Zelong did not realize that someone had already set their eyes on him.

I got the driver to stop the car behind a boulder by the sea that was a bit of distance away from Chen Zelong’s mansion, then said to Guo Qing, “Act according to the plan.”

Guo Qing nodded, then opened his laptop.

On the other hand, I swiftly ran off the car, went to somewhere isolated and used an invisibility technique. Truth be honest, this was my first time using this power, since I didn’t have any palce to use it before.

Of course, Guo Qing didn’t know all this, or else it would be too shocking.

I then used teleportation to arrive directly in front of Chen Zelong’s mansion.

The security around the mansion was very tight. There were security cameras working for every angle, and there were a few guards patrolling at the entrance. Yet, this didn’t have anything to do with me. Whether it was in the screen of the security monitor or in the eyes of the guards, I was an existence like air.

I lightly flipped over the mansion’s wall and entered the yard. Compared to the outside, the security wasn’t as tight. This was a common problem of a lot of rich people, they were very confident about their security on the exterior, and so laxed on the interior. This was also why so many people had the chance to do things.

Due to Hong Kong’s weather, it was still very hot, so the main door of the mansion wasn’t closed. This also made it more convenient for me, and saved me the trouble of jumping in through windows. Although I could also phase through walls right now, that would cost me a lot of mental energy.

At this moment, Chen Zelong was in a room facing the ocean on the second floor, he laid comfortably on a rocking chair and spoke into the phone, “De-ge, I already got that piece of land in Kowloon… Mhmm… Yeah… What? Cheap? ****, I don’t know what ****** luck I had, an enemy from the mainland came and fought with me on the auction… Hehe, if it wasn’t because he ran out of money later on, I really didn’t know what to do… Alright, you’re coming over? Then I’ll wait for you at the mansion by the sea… What? Didn’t we make a deal? Why did you change your mind again… Alright, I promise you!”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zelong’s smile was gone as he smashed the phone against the wall and said hatefully, “That old *******, he dares to take advantage of us and added thirty million!”

The phone flew towards where I was standing, causing me to hurriedly dodge to the side in shock. When the phone collided against the wall, a “peng” sound rang out along with a small spark and black smoke.

“Secretary Chen!” Chen Zelong shouted.

“Young Master, what is it?” Secretary Chen quickly ran in from the outside and asked.

“Go and prepare a thirty million dollar cheque from a Swiss bank!” Chen Zelong said with a sullen expression.

“Thirty million? Young Master, the company’s account doesn’t have much money left!’ Secretary Chen said worriedly.

“Do you think I want to! ****, that old fox, Huo De, he actually changed his mind at the last moment and told me to add thirty million. He said that his daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson, but they don’t have the money for a feast. **** him, a feast needs thirty million?!” Chen Zelong cursed.

“Ai! People like them are all like this, they naturally want the most profit they can, otherwise, when ICAC goes and find them, even if they don’t die, they would be at a huge loss,” said Secretary Chen.
