1356: Chapter 1357 I am a genius!
“Okay!
Okay!”
Liu Dasuan was overjoyed: “Alright, I’ll give all the farmland I own in Jijing, totaling over ten thousand acres, to Qingyu Company as a way to offset part of the paynt.
How does that sound?”
“No need for that, let’s treat it as an exchange instead.
Not just a part, but all of it.
Consider making friends with Chief Liu!”
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
“Mr.
Xiao, you’re truly too touching!
No problem at all.
From now on, I, Liu Dasuan, am a friend of Qingyu Company.
When it cos to agriculture, I have excellent connections—you can consult anyti!”
Liu Dasuan seed as giddy as a child.
“Shall we go sign the contract then?”
Xiao Chen suggested.
“Of course!”
Liu Dasuan nodded emphatically.
“Pleasure working with you, Chief Liu!”
Han Fei’er signed the contract with Liu Dasuan, using a thousand acres of farmland in exchange for ten thousand acres—a massive profit.
However, the contract explicitly stated that Qingyu Company had to pay Xiao Chen the monetary equivalent of the ten thousand acres, broken down into ten installnts.
After all, the jadeite belonged to Xiao Chen personally, not Qingyu Company.
Even so, the price was already reduced to the minimum.
Moreover, with the option of install paynts, Qingyu Company was still at an advantage.
Xiao Chen wasn’t a philanthropist, so he kept business and personal finances strictly separate.
If the company needed money, he could lend it but never simply give it away.
“Pleasure working with you too, Mr.
Xiao!”
Liu Dasuan looked at Xiao Chen with utmost respect: “Compared to you, Mr.
Xiao, what am I, a so-called stone gambling master?
You are truly the God of Stone Gambling.”
Watching this harmonious and cheerful scene, Chang Ziru was fuming with anger, his resentnt palpable.
Throughout the entire process, he felt like an idiot repeatedly slapping his own face.
Not only did the collaboration with Liu Dasuan’s company collapse, it also highlighted how foolish he really was.
One could say he had utterly failed.
“Let treat you two to dinner,”
After leaving the public auction, Han Fei’er eagerly suggested to Xiao Chen and Jiang ng.
“Better not.
You should hurry back and inform the company about this good news.
We’ll eat out on our own,”
Xiao Chen smiled slightly—finally, he had a legitimate excuse to skip work.
Shang Qingyu had agreed that as long as he secured this deal, he wouldn’t need to show up at the company if he didn’t want to, though he could go if he felt like it.
“How is it that you know so much about everything?”
During the al, Flora couldn’t help but ask.
This third-wheeling lightbulb didn’t seem inclined to leave.
Xiao Chen was helpless but, being practically a longti couple with Jiang ng, didn’t let it bother him.
“I’m a genius!”
Xiao Chen chuckled faintly: “Alright, now that we’re full, honey, I’ll drop you off at the company.”
“Mm!”
Flora begrudgingly listened to Xiao Chen’s response, but she had no choice but to accept.
For a mont, she felt that soone as impressive as Xiao Chen likely had no ulterior motives for approaching Jiang ng.
Could she have been wrong all along?
Otherwise, how could soone like Jiang ng be worth such a man’s willingness to be a live-in son-in-law?
After Xiao Chen and Jiang ng left, Flora returned to her room in the Xiao Family residence and dialed the Salvation Society’s line.
“President, I think we may have misunderstood Xiao Chen.
Perhaps he genuinely likes Jiang ng,”
Flora said.
“Nonsense!
There’s not a single good man in this world.
You mark my words: exceptional won don’t need n.
What can n even do for us?
We can make money on our own; we can support ourselves!”
“Have you forgotten the mission of the Salvation Society?
It’s to rescue outstanding won from peril, freeing them from the clutches of n.”
The person on the other end of the line seed exceedingly angry.
Flora quickly replied: “Understood, President.
I’ll keep working at it—I swear I’ll find Xiao Chen’s flaws and ensure he stays away from Jiang ng.”
After hanging up, Flora still looked sowhat dazed.
She had once been a devout believer in the Salvation Society’s principles, but now doubts started creeping in.
Was what the Salvation Society doing really right?
Were n truly beyond redemption?
After Xiao Chen dropped Jiang ng off at the company, he briefly handed things off to Ren Jing before leaving.
On the way back, Xiao Chen dialed a secure phone line: “What’s the latest on the investigation?”
“Boss, based on current intel, Chang Ziru appears to be nothing more than an ordinary fool with no one pulling strings behind him.
He’s simply trying to take over the Xinng Group,”
The voice on the other end, Leng Yue, reported.
“Is he working alone?”
Xiao Chen asked further.
“He does have an accomplice, but it’s just a small-ti player—not worth ntioning.
That person is Shang Luoying’s grandson, Qu Sheng.”
Leng Yue replied.
“Keep digging.
Look thoroughly into this—I refuse to believe Qu Sheng has no one supporting him.
As for Chang Ziru, that idiot can be handled by my wife without lifting a finger.”
Xiao Chen said casually: “By the way, coordinate with Hong Yi to closely monitor anyone unfamiliar entering Capital Prefecture.
After the last assassination attempt on Jiang ng, I suspect it wasn’t just an isolated incident—soone will surely try again.
Following that fiasco, the Hades Organization has clearly gone into deeper hiding.
We cannot afford to underestimate this threat.”
“Understood!”
Leng Yue nodded and added: “Also, about Flora—we’ve looked further into her; it turns out you were absolutely right.
This woman has ulterior motives—her goal is to recruit Jiang ng into the Salvation Society.”
“Salvation Society?
That female-only organization?”
Xiao Chen paused briefly to confirm.
“Indeed.
The Salvation Society’s mission is to rescue accomplished won from the so-called clutches of n,”
Leng Yue said with a wry smile: “Their president seems to have had an unhappy marriage, which likely explains her extremism.”
“No wonder Flora keeps trying to nitpick at .
It’s fine—they can’t achieve anything.
As long as their intentions aren’t harmful to Jiang ng, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Xiao Chen chuckled indifferently.
He remained unbothered—as long as it didn’t pose a real threat to Jiang ng.
After hanging up, Xiao Chen already found himself in a car, heading to clear up an account.
Zhuang Han had already extracted from his captives where those troublemaking individuals ca from.
Xiao Chen wasn’t the type to seek trouble, preferring to steer clear if possible.
But if soone deliberately provoked him, well, they’d pay dearly for it.
He had a personal style—returning it a hundredfold, a thousandfold if necessary.
The destination was still the sa company, its lights as bright as ever.
The previous captives had been released—but this ti, all the bosses of “Tonghua Security Company” were present.
Last ti, only a junior boss—a re manager—got caught.
The true masterminds were three individuals.
First was the big boss, Wei She.
Ruthless, cunning, and highly skilled in martial arts.
Second was Wei Dong, nicknad “The Terrifier of Tonghua,” with combat prowess second only to the big boss; he typically led major security assignnts.
Third was Wei Xi, nicknad “The Tyrant King of Western Chu.” Known for his towering physique, he unfortunately lacked intelligence.
The three bosses were all gathered in the company now.
Because their company recently encountered significant trouble—they’d beco targeted by Yama Hall, which spelled real danger.
Yama Hall was the most feared entity among both security companies and Jianghu sects alike.
When possible, they always chose not to provoke it.
