Chapter 508 Another City Victory

Jack glanced at Tom, then turned and walked out. It felt like he'd mistaken Tom for someone else's father; how embarrassing would that be if word got out?

It would be better if others didn't know who they were, but that idiot just gave them a grand introduction. He's no longer interested in who "President Chen" is. As long as it's not Chen Xiao, he doesn't care who it is. Will they even say a word to him?

Tom followed closely behind, while Wei glared angrily at "Chen" with great resentment. He felt like a seventy-year-old mother had finally gotten her revenge, but all his joy had been for nothing. He followed Jack out while glancing back at "Chen."

The guy acted as if nothing had happened and called out, "President Wei, let's get in touch after dinner."

{Fuck you, still thinking about the 'Han Palace'?}
Gao Yue ignored them. Since this guy hadn't impersonated Chen Xiao, she wasn't so angry anymore. After all, it was just a bunch of immature young people bragging and causing trouble; she'd just treat it as a bit of fun. But he had just been frivolous towards her, and that deserved some punishment. She said to the person behind her, "Slap him."

The two short-haired girls rushed forward. Li Man's small frame could have been knocked over with a single bump, but the two bodyguards lifted him up like a chick. When the others saw this, they immediately shouted, "Don't hit him! Don't hit him!"

They had never seen anything like this before. One of them tried to help, but the petite female bodyguard kicked him several meters away, smashing the card table in the private room to pieces. He lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. Seeing this, the others dared not go up again. Who would have thought that such a small body could have such explosive power?

After being caught, "Boss Chen's" expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly, "You dare to touch me? Do you know who my father is?"

Gao Yue laughed, "Let's slap him twice to wake him up. He never gets to the point, he's been going around in circles all night, he doesn't even dare to say his own name, and now he's starting to introduce his father."

Who cares who he is? In Jiangzhou, anyone who dares to offend Gao Yue, even if it's the Heavenly King himself, will get slapped.

*Slap—slap*, left and right. He was completely stunned. "Boss Chen" burst into tears, spitting out two teeth, some with blood. He'd never suffered like this before; even his parents had never laid a hand on him.

"Now tell me who your father is, and who you are. If you're too late, this slapping will continue."

He immediately stopped crying, "I'll talk, I'll talk, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me," his voice so pitiful it brought tears to anyone's eyes.

Gao Yue was almost amused by him. This kid kept going around in circles and never got to the point. He asked the two bodyguards to wait for him, but "President Chen" was still holding his head and shouting, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I'll tell you who my dad is!"

This is truly speechless. Gao Yue saw Xiao Miao, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, and pointed at him, saying, "Do you know who his father is, and who he is?"

Xiao Miao was startled when his name was called, and jumped up, his knee slamming against the corner of the table. Ignoring the pain, he instinctively thought Gao Yue was going to punish him. Only after hearing her words did he realize that she was asking him something, and he relaxed.

"His father is Xu Jun, the chairman of Junxiao Commercial Management. His name is Xu Chen."

"Hey, Gao Yue said she'd always thought this kid looked familiar. Are you Xu Jun's son?"

Although it was a question, I was pretty sure that this was Xu Jun's son. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant as to say he would bankrupt Li Man. If Li Man wasn't one of his own, Xu Jun's position would have really put her in a lot of trouble if he wanted to blacklist her.

Xu Jun's son is a bit unreliable. He's such a spoiled brat, who knows when he might cause Xu Jun a huge mess.

At this moment, Xu Chen stopped crying. He saw that Gao Yue's attitude seemed to have changed drastically when she heard that her father was Xu Jun. He said somewhat evasively, "If you hit me again, my dad will definitely not let you off."

Gao Yue laughed, "If you had said earlier that you were Xu Jun's son, you would have saved this beating. Why did you have to be so roundabout? How could someone as capable as Xu Jun have such a good-for-nothing son like you? You're a perfect example of a tiger father and a dog son."

Xu Chen understood Gao Yue's meaning; she knew of his father's reputation. His courage immediately returned: "Do you know fear now? If my father finds out you dared to hit me like that, you're all finished."

Li Man sighed. Knowing that the child belonged to President Xu, her anger subsided. She really couldn't understand how President Xu could have given birth to such an oddball son.

"Let's go, we won't bully the kids anymore." Gao Yue waved her hand, and the two bodyguards stepped back and followed Gao Yue and Li Man out. At this moment, Xu Chen saw that they had "backed down" and immediately shouted, "Leave your names. You think you can just leave after hitting me? If you don't satisfy me, I will definitely tell my dad when I get back."

"You don't need to tell him. I'll call Mr. Xu in a bit and tell him that I disciplined you for him and slapped you twice. But you should be careful. If he finds out why you were beaten, you might get an even worse beating when you get home."

Xu Chencai didn't believe it. His parents had never laid a hand on him since he was a child. Now that someone had hit him, they would definitely help him get revenge. How could they possibly hit their own precious son?

After Gao Yue left the private room, she instructed Li Man, "Call President Xu and recount the whole story of what happened today. I won't tell him anything else. If he knew his son dared to flirt with me, he'd probably want to strangle him."

Inside the private room, "Boss Chen" felt he had lost face today and couldn't eat anymore. "Brothers, we suffered a loss today, but that woman is scared too. I'll go back and talk to my dad. We'll definitely get our revenge. I'll contact Boss Wei later and we'll go to 'Han Palace'."

He was still thinking about going to the Han Palace, and he hadn't noticed the way several people looked at him like he was a fly after they found out he wasn't Chen Xiao.

"I'll send a message to General Manager Wei and the others, and tell them we'll head over first."

Others noticed he'd lost several teeth, yet he still wanted to go singing. They thought he must be incredibly passionate about nightclubs. He even had a lisp, and he still wanted to sing. The passion of young men for picking up girls is something even a heavy rain couldn't extinguish.

Jack and his friends lost interest in continuing. They had really embarrassed themselves today. This business tycoon had been completely fooled by a child, and the worst part was that he had practically delivered himself to the child's doorstep, groveling and trying to befriend him. There was no one to blame but himself.

He never said he was Chen Xiao; it was all just self-hypnosis on our part. "Fuck, let's go back to the hotel."

None of them were in the mood to speak, especially President Wei. His mood had been like a rollercoaster all night, from nervously trying to curry favor, to feeling ecstatic after "him" "reconciled" with him, to his desire to promote a comprehensive cooperation between Junxiao Commercial Management and Jincheng Sports Group, which brought President Wei's mood to its peak, and then it all ended tragically.

Buzz~ Mr. Wei's phone rang.

I glanced at the WeChat message and felt utterly disgusted. The message read, "President Wei, a few of us have gone to Han Palace first. We're in the 'Blooming Prosperity' private room. Come over as soon as you're done."

"Damn it, they really think I'm an idiot."

They've been exposed, yet they still try to lie. This is utterly insulting. Boss Wei immediately deleted him from his WeChat contacts. Jack saw his indignant expression and asked what happened. He was also devastated. Did those young guys think they were idiots?
Everyone pulled out their phones, thinking, "Why keep this junk around for the New Year if we don't delete it?"

Xu Jun has been negotiating the acquisition of Hengyuan Plaza in Shanghai. However, a mishap occurred, causing the negotiations to stall. During that time, he couldn't eat or sleep well, fearing that he wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned by President Chen. Now, the overall situation is basically settled, and he can rest assured.

During dinner, Xu Jun received a message: "Hengyuan Real Estate's meeting has approved the sale."

Xu Jun's chopsticks fell to the edge of the bowl with a "clatter," unaware that soup had splashed onto his shirt sleeve. He suddenly stood up, his chair sliding back half a meter with a screeching sound. His pupils dilated abruptly, his lips curled into an uncontrollable smile, his face flushed slightly with excitement, and even his breathing became rapid.

He gripped his phone, his fingers trembling as he zoomed in on the message on the screen, confirming it three times before suddenly slamming his fist on the table: "It's done! It really is done!"

"Old Xu, are you possessed?" Mrs. Xu pushed him, but he grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently: "It's all settled, it's really all settled!"

Madam Xu knew that a major matter that had been weighing on his mind since the New Year was finally settled, and she was happy to see it resolved. Then, as if remembering something, she suddenly said angrily, "That brat Xu Chen, he knew you were coming back today, but he didn't even have dinner with you. Lock the door from the inside and make sure he can't come in tonight."

Such a celebratory occasion, a time for the whole family to enjoy themselves, was ruined by that brat Xu Chen. It's really frustrating.

Just then, Xu Jun's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned, because he had originally wanted to report the good news to President Chen as soon as possible, but this call interrupted him.

Li Man is Gao's person, so I still have to give her face. If it weren't for Gao's sake, she wouldn't even look at the boss of Manhua Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd. She should have hung up the phone and reported to General Manager Chen right now.

The call connected. "Mr. Li." "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to bother you. There's something concerning your son. Mr. Gao asked me to give you a detailed report."

Upon hearing that it concerned his son and was arranged by General Manager Gao, Xu Jun dared not be negligent and immediately said solemnly, "Okay, go ahead."

When Li Man said she had knocked Xu Chen down, Xu Jun frowned—how could a young man be so weak? It seemed he needed to bring him back for some grueling training. Then, when he heard his son threaten to bankrupt Li Man in a minute, Xu Jun's beard bristled with anger; this beast was even more arrogant than him.

Later, when Xu Jun heard Gao Yue appear, his heart tightened. He hoped that this beast would not have any conflict with President Gao. Then, when he heard that the guy named Xiao Miao was actually speaking rudely to President Gao, Xu Jun's hair stood on end. This guy was asking for death! Fortunately, President Gao had someone slap him to end the matter. Otherwise, Miao Lei would have been in trouble. That Xiao Miao was the son of Miao Lei, the current regional manager of Junxiao Commercial Management in the Hanjiang area.

Those who hang out with Xu Chen are mostly children of business families. Xu Jun was worried for Miao Lei and himself, thinking that he should call President Gao later to apologize, and make sure this matter didn't escalate to President Chen's place.

Then, when Xu Jun heard that General Manager Gao was taking Li Man to the 999 private room, his heart skipped a beat. Since his son was the main character this time, he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, when he heard that his son wanted General Manager Gao to accompany him to sing karaoke, he felt like his soul was leaving his body. His face turned ashen, his lips turned ashen, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

He forced out a distorted "What?!" from his throat, the last syllable splitting like a rooster being choked, "That little beast... he really dared to do that to President Gao...? When he comes back, I'm going to beat him to death, beat him to death." He mechanically repeated it, as if saying it a few more times would earn him forgiveness.

Seeing her husband's expression, Madam Xu knew something was wrong. Hearing him curse "little beast," she immediately realized that Xu Chen had caused the trouble. Her heart tightened, and she even found it difficult to breathe. She stared at her husband, not daring to look away for a moment.

Li Man knew that the report could not be delayed any longer, otherwise she was really afraid that Chairman Xu's blood pressure would rise and something bad would happen. President Gao's purpose was twofold: first, to make him discipline his son to avoid causing even bigger trouble in the future; and second, to explain that he had slapped Xu Chen twice, but did not know that it was Xu Jun's son when he did so.

Hearing this, Xu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He slapped the little brat twice, and President Gao's anger should have subsided. Moreover, she could get Li Man to call and explain to him that she didn't know Xu Chen was her child, so she slapped him twice.

This means that President Gao has no intention of escalating the matter further. Thank goodness. After ending the call, Xu Jun felt like he had just survived a tribulation. No matter how successful he was today, all that success came from the big boss. Now his son had foolishly spoken disrespectfully to the big boss's woman. Fortunately, the matter wasn't too serious, otherwise, he would have truly ruined the family.

After ending the call, Mrs. Xu asked him with concern what was wrong.

“What is it? That beast won’t be satisfied until he ruins the family. Now I’ll make him come back here and beat him to death. I’ve never hit him since he was a child. Today I’ll make up for all those years of hardship.”

"Wait a moment, let me call Mr. Gao to apologize first."

After calling Gao Yue, Xu Jun felt a little relieved. It seemed that President Gao hadn't held a grudge against Xu Chen. After the two slaps, her anger had subsided, and the matter was considered over.

With his worries gone, his anger soared. How long had it been since he had felt his life and death hanging in the balance? Outsiders saw his rapid promotions, as if he were riding a rocket this year, calling him the chosen one, the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel. Who knew how much hard work he had put in to reach that position?

It was a combination of luck and ability on his part, plus President Chen and President Xu showing consideration for their past relationship. Otherwise, Zhao Hui or Lin Ya would have taken this position long ago. But judging from President Chen's intentions, as long as he doesn't make any major mistakes, he should be allowed to stay in this position until retirement and enjoy his old age.

I am not irreplaceable. On the contrary, there are too many people who can replace me. Not to mention the people around President Chen, just take Liu Pinhua, who negotiated the acquisition of Hengyuan Plaza with me this time, and the current general manager of Junxiaocheng system. None of them are worse than me in terms of business ability.

Therefore, my success is not due to my abilities, but to the trust and care of President Chen and President Xu.

"Call that bastard back. Damn it, I'm going to beat him to a pulp."

Mrs. Xu had been listening to his phone call and had gleaned some information from it. Her son had actually offended President Gao. Although she rarely asked her husband about his work, judging from his attitude, she knew that her family probably couldn't afford to offend President Gao.

{That brat Xu Chen needs to be disciplined, otherwise he'll cause big trouble later. Looking at Old Xu, it's like the sky is falling. I hope he doesn't get fired before he even receives his 5000 million yuan raise.}
Xu Chen and his group are currently at Han Palace, each of them accompanied by two young women. In the past, some clients occasionally knew about this group, as they were the sons of managers from various commercial plazas. They would occasionally try to build connections with them, hoping that they could influence their families to get a good position at Junxiao Plaza, or at least be able to enter Junxiao Plaza.

However, after a few times, it was found that these playboys had very limited influence on the family. It was also possible that Junxiao Business Management had very strict control over this area, so there was little chance for them to abuse their power for personal gain. Gradually, these social engagements decreased.

They're young and addicted to nightlife; they finally found someone willing to pay the bill, so they're definitely going to have a blast.

"Boss, why haven't those big shots arrived yet?"

They've all been there for an hour, and they've already drunk five or six bottles of Golden Salute liquor—a kind of liquor they wouldn't normally be willing to drink.

While being fed fruit by the two young ladies, Xu Chen suddenly remembered that the person who was supposed to pay the bill hadn't arrived yet. He sat up straight and said, "I'll hurry them up. These people are getting old, they can't manage. Their old arms and legs are too weak to move around easily. I really don't know if they'll still be able to come here to play, haha."

I edited a message and sent it, then suddenly froze. What the hell—you're not their friend yet? Damn it, they deleted me? Damn it, didn't we talk about a full-scale cooperation with Junxiao Business Management over dinner? You've really stirred up a hornet's nest! I'll tell the old man all the bad things about you, and then you'll never cooperate again. Cooperation my ass!

Xu Chen was furious. What angered him most was who would pay for tonight's bill. Although his family was not short of money, the allowance he received was limited. He really didn't have enough money for today's bill. He couldn't very well ask these people to split the bill; he couldn't bear the embarrassment.

Just then, Xu Jun called. Xu Chen quickly told them to turn off the music, and he went to the bathroom to answer the call.

"You little beast, I'm giving you half an hour to get back here, or don't bother coming back. Go out and start your own business."

Xu Jun hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. Xu Chen's face turned pale. He knew that his father always kept his word. If he didn't come home in half an hour, he would be in real trouble.

He rushed out, saying, "That's all for today."

The group of young men were immediately dumbfounded. They had just sat down for a while, had a few drinks, and were getting to know the girls around them better, and were starting to make advances. Why were they leaving?

Seeing Xu Chen's anxious expression, no one dared to refuse. The manager came over to settle the bill, which came to 46,000 yuan including the tip. Xu Chen suddenly remembered that the person who was supposed to pay hadn't come today, and he didn't have enough money in his pocket.

They had to call all these people into the bathroom and scrape together the money. The group of young girls outside were also puzzled, as it was the first time they'd ever seen a group of grown men go into the bathroom together. Little did they know that Xu Chen was in a hurry to get home and get a beating, a beating that would keep him bedridden for three days.

Xu Jun had to teach him a profound lesson. Today, it was only because General Manager Gao didn't pursue the matter that Xu Chen wasn't inherently bad, just had some minor vices. Otherwise, how was he any different from Wei Ming? Thinking of Wei Ming, Xu Jun felt a chill run down his spine.

Luffy and Xu Jun kept in touch frequently in Shanghai, so Xu Jun was naturally aware of what Luffy had done to Wei Ming. Sometimes Xu Jun wondered if Wei Ming was living a normal life and if he would break down and commit suicide one day.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs. Xu Jun was heartbroken to see Xu Chen beaten like this, and he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

Also in Jiangzhou, Guo Fu was suffering from insomnia that night. She knew about the conversation between Guo Sheng and Chen Xiao and wanted to know what choice Chen Xiao would make. She had considered Zhao Xiangjun's importance to Chen Xiao. But she was also a proud person. From a young age, she was the most beloved granddaughter of the Guo family patriarch, the person who held the most shares in the Guo Group across three generations of the Guo family, and Guo Sheng's only legal heir.

Such a rare beauty, showered with love and affection, possessing assets worth hundreds of billions—can she compete with Zhao Xiangjun? She doesn't necessarily want to win, but she wants to know just how much she means to Chen Xiao.

With wealth, good looks, and a powerful family, she should be Chen Xiao's top business assistant; there's no reason for him not to value her. Guo Sheng told her that Chen Xiao's attitude that day was unexpected; he didn't even consider it.

Guo Fu didn't know if he had already made up his mind or if he was too rushed to make a decision and needed time to process it. Either way, she had to come and see him as soon as possible. She could talk to him about things her father couldn't talk about without reservation.

She arrived at Jiangzhou International Airport in the evening. Chen Xiao arranged for a car to pick her up and put her in his private suite at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel. She thought he would come to see her as soon as possible, but she was disappointed—Chen Xiao said he had to go back that night.

Unable to sleep, tossing and turning, what did Chen Xiao mean? They hadn't seen each other for so long. She had rushed to Jiangzhou to see him, shouldn't he have canceled everything to come and be with her? But he chose to go home for dinner. Was he implying something? Did Zhao Xiangjun really hold such an important place in his heart?

Guo Fu recalled the moments they shared together. Chen Xiao was very accommodating to her, but when it came to Zhao Xiangjun, his attitude changed immediately. It seemed to be a taboo subject for him, one that he wouldn't allow anyone to touch.

She couldn't understand it. Perhaps no one knew what Chen Xiao was thinking. To him, women were everywhere, but there was only one Zhao Xiangjun.
