The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Yang Huaqiang went home feeling dejected.

He was being targeted by Chen Pingsheng; there couldn't be worse news.

To be honest, Han Shan could still put up a fight with that guy surnamed Chen and give him a good beating.

Then someone with the surname Yang is destined to be an ant that can be easily crushed by anyone.

The man surnamed Chen is more than capable of uprooting Hanshan with a single blow.

They can also fight on par with three major hidden wealthy families, such as Xu Pidai and Yan Qihua.

He had very few options left.

However, since everyone has their own grievances and debts, he wanted to find out which one Chen Yao was first.

Logically speaking, even if his daughter was bullying someone.

They would never bully those with powerful backgrounds, let alone a towering family like the Chen family.

Yang Hong is already a freshman in college, and she is studying in Shacheng.

Just like when she was a child, she became arrogant and overbearing when she went to university.

She avoids the rich and powerful, but she'll bully the ordinary guys to death.

Yang Huaqiang asked her if she knew someone named Chen Yao.

So many years have passed, how could Yang Hong still remember?

It was her mother who unintentionally remembered that there was such a person.

Chen Yao's daughter, relying on her good grades, actually declared on the playground that not studying at the age when one should be studying is a waste of life.

It is a shameful act.

Isn't this just insulting Yang Hong to her face?
Is there anyone in the whole school with worse grades than her?

That very night, she had someone beat up Xiao Le, and the same thing happened for the next few days.

She arrogantly declared, "Look at this, this is someone who doesn't waste their life."

What good is it to say she has good grades in front of most of her classmates?

Can they compare to the wealth of one's own family?

Upon hearing this, Yang Huaqiang's heart skipped a beat.

A thousand alpacas galloped past, and he really wanted to say that this had nothing to do with him.

Only now does he realize whether he can have these two bastards go to jail in his place.

Yang Huaqiang said, "Do you know who I went to see today?"

"Who is it? It can't be one of the deputy directors, can it?" Yang Hong loved hearing her father say that he had been drinking with some leader again today.

"No, he's much more capable than the deputy director."

"Who is that?"

"Chen Yao's younger brother, Chen Pingsheng."

"Chen Pingsheng, why does that name sound so familiar?"

Yang Hong felt that the name was familiar, as if she had heard it often.

Oh...right.

It was that legendary figure, the one who crushed the local cash king upon arriving in Shacheng—a figure of immense influence.

"Dad, you're in contact with him?" Yang Hong's mind was clearly not working very well.

“It’s not that I have contact with him, it’s that you forced me to have contact with him.”

Yang Huaqiang said, "He is Xiao Le's maternal uncle."

"What do you mean? Is he coming to cause trouble?"

Yang Hong was still young and didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

Xiao Le and his own sister have been treated so badly by you.

Now that they've come to Shacheng specifically for this matter, who among us can escape responsibility?
"He told me to report myself and go to jail for three years."

"what?"

Yang Hong was furious when she heard this. "Isn't this going too far? Dad, you must have a way to solve this!"

"I have indeed come up with a solution."

Yang Huaqiang said, "Xiao Le was beaten by you, and Chen Yao was imprisoned by your mother. My only solution is to send you in, then divorce your mother, and let her serve three years in prison."

"Dad, this is not the time for jokes."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Yang Huaqiang stopped pretending and his face turned gloomy.

What's wrong with my daughter? When it comes to a critical moment, she still has to be sacrificed.

Yang Hong was completely terrified by him.

"Dad, I'm your only daughter. How could you send me to jail? So what if he's surnamed Chen? Aren't you very powerful? Find someone to kill him!"

"How much shit is in your head?!"

Yang Huaqiang angrily said, "Someone like Chen Pingsheng is not someone we can mess with. Let alone finding someone to mess with him, even having such a thought will result in your whole family being buried with you."

“Yang Hong, I can ignore you when you bully ordinary people, but I can’t bear the consequences of bullying the Chen family. It’s better for you to go in than for me to go in. After you’ve been in there for a few years, I can still give you the most respectable life when you come out.”

"Don't you agree, my dear daughter!"

Yang Hong looked at her father in disbelief, as if she was only getting to know him again today.

Is this still the father who cherished him like a precious gem?

No matter what Yang Hong chooses, Yang Huaqiang has no choice but to send her in, and he has to do it quickly.

The anger of the man surnamed Chen must be quelled within 12 hours.

Otherwise, even though the country is vast, there will be no place for him to stay.

Besides, it's not like people abroad can't interfere. Everyone says Leicester City belongs to Chen Pingsheng, and he can't afford to mess with someone like that!
Yang Huaqiang immediately arranged for someone to take his daughter inside.

She went in because he, her father, was ridding the people of a scourge.

As for his wife, Yang Huaqiang sincerely explained the situation to her.

Either she goes in and helps him.

Either he goes in first, or the guy surnamed Chen behind him definitely won't let her go either.

Without his connections outside, her life after going in there would have been unimaginable.

Moreover, you won't be able to get out for at least ten years.

Don't doubt Chen's abilities; if he wanted to, he could ruin them with a flick of his finger.

So, the choice is up to her.

Yang Huaqiang, who started his business in the sand and gravel pit industry, is truly ruthless.

His wife was clearly half-deceived and half-fooled by him.

The situation is what it is; once he goes in, no one outside can protect the mother and daughter.

As long as he's out there, with his abilities to pull some strings, he can get out in a few years.

Surprisingly, his wife gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

Yang Huaqiang was deeply moved by her, but it was all just a facade.

He actually has a younger son outside of marriage.

She was born last year, alongside a young woman in her early twenties.

Therefore, he insisted that they absolutely could not go in.

After personally sending his wife and daughter inside.

Yang Huaqiang first made a few phone calls, then took off his shirt, carried a bundle of thorns on his back, and knelt down every three steps from outside the residential area to Chen Pingsheng's door.

He carried thorns on his back to apologize.

His appearance caused a sensation throughout the entire neighborhood.

He was, after all, a prominent figure in Wang County, and many people knew him.

They were utterly astonished.

He wondered to himself which important person this Yang had offended!

To go to such lengths, one must even emulate the ancients by carrying thorns on one's back to apologize.

Don't be too outrageous.

If he hadn't sent his wife and daughter to jail, Yang Huaqiang would have been kneeling here to his death, but he still wouldn't have escaped jail.

Chen Pingsheng prepared to leave in his top-of-the-line Phantom, and even rolled down the car window as he departed.

Let my niece Xiao Le see how ridiculous her arrogant female bully Yang Hong is now, and how ridiculous her father, whom she relied on, is.

Chen Pingsheng glanced at the Patek Philippe worth tens of millions in his hand and said:

“It’s only six o’clock now. If you get up and leave before midnight, no matter where you are, you will pay the price.”

Yang Huaqiang is a ruthless man who has lived a ruthless life for half his life. It's really unfair to make him kneel here for six hours.

He's probably going to make Shacheng a laughingstock.

There's bad news, but there's also good news.

That means he made the right bet; the big shot didn't actually want to send him to jail.

Compared to the choices given to him before, he clearly wanted to personally send his daughter Yang Hong inside.

Tell me, what could be more cruel to his daughter Yang Hong than this?

This is truly killing someone by destroying their spirit!

Sure enough, no matter how good a boss is in the eyes of outsiders...

That wouldn't be a sign of a compassionate heart.

When they get ruthless, they're far beyond what these gangsters can do.

Yang Huaqiang resigned himself to his fate and knelt on the ground with his hands.

"I, Yang Huaqiang, respectfully see Mr. Chen off."

Yang Huaqiang didn't get up until the car was out of sight.

He wasn't angry, because he knew he'd probably never reach Chen's level in this lifetime.

If you don't even have the qualifications, then don't pretend to be a tough guy.

Be an insignificant ant in the eyes of others.

They can at least save a dog's life.

If Han Shan had understood this back then, he wouldn't have been sentenced to death.

In comparison, Yang Huaqiang was still a cut above the rest.

You may lose face, but you can still have money; face will come back sooner or later.

If you have face but lose money, then you really lose even the last bit of dignity.

He knelt at Chen Pingsheng's door; that was Chen's way of showing off.

Anyone who comes up to him and uses this incident to mock Yang Huaqiang is outraged.

That's courting death.

It can only be said that Yang Huaqiang is a person who was able to start from scratch and become a prominent figure in Wang County.

That wasn't given away for free.
