Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao burst out laughing upon hearing this—"Heh—"

"I need a car?"

Ignoring Zhao Jinhu's ugly expression, "Didn't you just say you were going to make him regret it?"

Zhao Jinhu's face turned ashen. This pretty boy was really clueless. "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future!"
Why do you have to offend me so badly, the richest man in Qinzhou? And why make Zhao Lei suffer the consequences?
If it weren't for Mr. Guo's sake, I would have made you regret it!
"Mr. Chen, I don't know how I can satisfy you?" Although his tone was soft, he had already expressed his dissatisfaction!
Chen Xiao laughed, then turned to Guo Fu and said, "Forget it, let's leave it at that. I'm not one to hold grudges."

Zhao Jinhu's expression softened slightly, thinking that the pretty boy had suddenly come to his senses and realized the consequences of offending the richest man in the province, so he softened his stance!
However, the next second, his expression changed drastically, and he heard Chen Xiao continue to say to Guo Fu, "Half an hour is almost up, let's call it a day. Have President Zhao take his men and leave—"

Damn it, I haven't finished talking to President Guo yet. Zhao Jinhu just thought Chen Xiao was trying to do him a favor because of his status as the richest man, but who knew he would ruin his business the next second.

“No, President Guo,” Zhao Jinhu hurriedly called out when he saw Guo Fu nod.

"I haven't finished speaking—"

Guo Fu waved her hand: "No need to say anything, take him back. After all, your son is more important than business."

Is your son more important than your business? Zhao Jinhu was taken aback, then realized that President Guo was dissatisfied.

He hurriedly said, "No, Mr. Guo, Mr. Chen! You two tell me how to deal with this little bastard, and I will show no mercy. I will make sure you are satisfied!"

His careless words almost made Xie Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.

Calling Zhao Lei a little bastard makes him look like an old turtle himself, doesn't it? And look at Zhao Jinhu in his green polo shirt—he's a green-haired turtle!
Zhao Lei lay on the floor, listening to his father's conversation with the man and woman on the sofa. He finally realized something: he seemed to have offended someone he couldn't afford to offend, and even his own father was repeatedly begging for their forgiveness.

The rich kid finally got scared. He didn't dare to look up, but listened intently, afraid of missing a single note.

Guo Fu looked at Chen Xiao, and Zhao Jinhu understood—it was all this pretty boy's doing! He never expected President Guo to be so good to this pretty boy!

And look at this pretty boy, surrounded by several stunningly beautiful women of varying styles. There's no one else like him who's reached this level of masculinity. Zhao Jinhu would call him the ultimate pretty boy in the universe.

Chen Xiao crossed his legs, took the tea Zhang Ziqian handed him, took a small sip, and then said slowly and deliberately, "I've never liked using violence—"

Zhao Jinhu's facial muscles twitched. "You don't like to use force, so what happened to my son's bruised and swollen face?"
"Furthermore, I care about children—"

Everyone was puzzled. If you care about a child, why are you talking to him?
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he pointed at Zhao Lei on the ground and said, "This kid clearly didn't receive a good education, that's why he went astray!"

Zhao Jinhu clenched his fists. "I'll endure it—"

Zhao Lei is almost thirty, and looks a few years older than Chen Xiao. It does sound really strange that he calls him "kid"!

“So, Mr. Zhao, you can’t keep spoiling the child like this—” Chen Xiao said in a very “earnest” tone, as if he was completely standing in Mr. Zhao’s shoes and considering his feelings.

Zhao Jinhu's face twitched again, and he chuckled dryly, "You're right!"

"Alright, my demands aren't high. Within three years, Mr. Zhao will make sure the 'child' is self-reliant, and no one, including family and friends, is allowed to provide him with any assistance!"

It's about "children" again.
Zhao Jinhu wasn't angry this time because Chen Xiao's request was incredibly easy. He could just agree; whether he helped Zhao Lei or not was none of Zhao Lei's business!
Besides, even if they knew, so what? Could they possibly drag Mr. Guo all the way here to cause trouble for them?
Faced with such a request, any hesitation, even for a second, would be disrespectful to one's own intelligence: "President Chen, we'll do as you say—from today onwards, Zhao Lei will support himself, and we will absolutely not provide him with any assistance!"

Chen Xiao nodded, then said to Guo Fu, "Since President Zhao has agreed, then that's settled. However, to ensure the smooth implementation of this matter, your cooperation with President Zhao will involve cutting half of your business each year for the next three years—"

Holy crap—

Zhao Jinhu's face changed drastically, and he was terrified! The vast majority of Tianyue Group's profits came from Guo's business. If what Chen Xiao said was true, the company had basically been hovering around the break-even point for the past three years.

Anyone with a brain knows how low the company's market value will drop!

"How could this pretty boy be so wicked?" He hurriedly looked at Guo Fu: "President Guo, you absolutely mustn't!"

Guo Fu ignored him and gave Chen Xiao a soft "hmm," thus sealing Zhao Jinhu's fate for the next three years.

Zhao Jinhu shuddered and almost fell! He never expected Guo Fu to believe his slander. You pretty boy, I'll never forgive you!
But at this moment, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to lose his temper with Chen Xiao. Otherwise, he might very well lose his other half!
Chen Xiao then looked at him and said, "Don't be in such a hurry—"

How could I not be anxious? Zhao Jinhu was furious. "Do you know how much money I'm going to lose if you just say one word?"
Sensing that Chen Xiao had more to say, Zhao Jinhu resisted the urge to interrupt and continued listening: "If you can truly fulfill this promise you made today over the next three years, then Mr. Guo will make up for the lack of business you did during those three years."

"Hmm? Is this acceptable?" Zhao Jinhu looked at Guo Fu, thinking to himself, "Can you, this pretty boy, hold out for three years? After three years, will you still have any influence over President Guo?"

Guo Fu nodded calmly: "President Chen's meaning is my meaning—"

Hearing Guo Fu's promise, Zhao Jinhu was relieved. If that's the case, then it's not bad!

Although our performance has declined significantly over the past three years, we expect a substantial rebound in three years. All the losses we incur today will be recovered, many times over!
The only thing is—

He glanced at Zhao Lei, thinking to himself, "This kid's really suffering. These past few years, not only have I not dared to secretly help him, but I've also had to strictly control my relatives and friends from helping him."

But what can this child do without the support of his family?

Zhao Lei trembled on the ground. He had also thought of this. Without his parents to rely on, how would he survive in the future?

After Zhao Jinhu and his son left, they noticed the people lying on the floor of the corridor. He recognized several of them as members of his company's security department and turned to berate Zhao Lei: "You bastard, I'll beat you to death when we get back—"

In the past, Zhao Lei's troubles were mostly dealt with by him or his subordinates. It was precisely because of his indulgence that Zhao Lei became increasingly arrogant and domineering. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have run into a brick wall today and offended someone he couldn't afford to mess with.

Zhao Jinhu suddenly realized that Chen Xiao's solution wasn't necessarily a bad thing. As the saying goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child!" Although, this was a big stick that Chen Xiao wielded.

"Dad, you wouldn't actually do what he said, would you?"

Zhao Jinhu waved his hand: "From today onwards, you will leave home and fend for yourself. I will arrange for people to watch over you, and no one will help you or give you a single penny!"

Zhao Lei's face turned ashen. He usually spent at least five figures a day, and cutting off his source of income was worse than taking his life.

Zhao Jinhu took out his phone, and a moment later Zhao Lei heard Zhao Jinhu giving instructions: "Cancel Zhao Lei's credit card—"

what--

"Dad, how am I supposed to live without a credit card?" It was an unlimited credit card, and Zhao Lei's previous expenses all came from that card. He never expected his father to cut it off so easily, without even giving him a chance to withdraw the money!
"How do you survive? Deliver food. You won't starve! You should thank society. No matter who you are, as long as you work, you can at least have a full meal, if not rich."

Delivering food? Zhao Lei recalled the busy scenes he had witnessed while sitting in his Mercedes-Maybach, where people even ran red lights to ensure on-time delivery. Was he going to end up like them?
If I'm delivering food every day, where will I find the time to play games?
A game? Right! Zhao Lei's expression changed! He remembered the "challenge" he'd set up with someone named "[King of the World]" on the game forum today. He'd initiated it—a contest to see who could recharge 1000 million first!
Now that his father has stopped using his credit card, in the past three years, let alone recharge 1000 million, I'm afraid I won't even be able to recharge 1!

And all those people online know that I am Qin Zhou—Zhao Lei! Isn't this going to make me lose face on the internet?

"Dad, I need to ask you for a favor—"

Zhao Jinhu stopped and looked at his son, feeling a pang of heartache. He said earnestly, "Leilei, don't blame your father for being heartless. This is for our family, and for your own good! Tell me, as long as it's not about secretly giving you money, everything else is negotiable!"

Zhao Lei felt that his father still cared for him, so he mustered up his courage and said, "Dad, please recharge 800 million yuan into my game account!"

Zhao Jinhu's kind expression vanished. After a long pause, he finally uttered a single word: "Get out—"

Damn it, Zhao Jinhu couldn't help but wonder if his son was really as Chen Xiao had said—gone astray. Otherwise, how could he be so stupid, barely able to afford food, yet still spending 800 million yuan on in-game purchases!
That brain of his—probably inherited from his mother!

Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao returned to their suite at this time.

"Xiaoxiao, President Chen has demanded that Zhao Jinhu not give Zhao Lei a single penny for three years. Does that mean Zhao Lei won't have any money to recharge in the game? Doesn't that mean President Chen is guaranteed to win this round?"

Xie Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Your angle is a bit tricky; I didn't think of that. Do you think Chen Xiao did it on purpose, just to beat him in the game?"

Qin Ning chuckled: "How did you come up with that? Does President Chen lack that 1000 million? Why would he need that to beat him?"

Xie Xiaoxiao laughed too. Yes, Zhao Lei can easily outdo others in terms of wealth. But compared to Chen Xiao, he's a bit arrogant!

Unbeknownst to them, Chen Xiao was saying smugly to Zhang Ziqian, "See? That Zhao Lei wanted to compete with me? I can crush him with a few words!"

After saying that, he opened his phone, went to the game forum, and posted another comment under the thread where 【Qin Zhou Zhi Guang】 and 【Jun Lin Tian Xia】 were comparing their wealth:
"【Reign of Kings】I've already spent 600 million, why is the other side not making a move? Are they going to back down?"

The post immediately caused a stir.

Fans of "King of the World" are excited.
Meanwhile, fans of [Qin Zhou's Light] flocked to "loyally protect their master."

Another war of words erupted—

Meanwhile, Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning in the next room saw the post and remained silent for a long time. That guy really was just trying to compete with others in the game.
After a long pause, Qin Ning sighed, "I have a feeling that President Chen doesn't want you to invest too much money anymore. Think about it, if Zhao Lei's finances aren't restricted, can you compete with him? Even if you have the rent from two shops, it won't be enough, right? Unless you sell the shops, but selling shops takes time, and that won't solve your immediate problem!"

"Is that so?" Xie Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully, and Qin Ning's words seemed to make some sense.

"Qin Ning, I feel like I should send a message to President Chen to express my gratitude!" She wasn't referring to Zhao Lei, but mainly to the two shops.

Two hundred million! He just gave it away like that. Xie Xiaoxiao felt her face burning. Had Chen Xiao spent two hundred million to buy her? The worst part was that she hadn't even considered resisting.

"If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead and make your fortune," Qin Ning said with a mysterious smile.

"What's wrong? What sin could I possibly commit by sending a message?" Xie Xiaoxiao couldn't understand.

"Miss, put your brain to work and think this through. Mr. Guo and Li Zhi'en are both here, and it's almost 9 o'clock. Do you think Mr. Chen will waste this precious evening?"

Qin Ning's smile was wicked, as if he had imagined some vivid scene.
"Xiaoxiao, Mr. Chen will have to work hard today. Those two beauties are hard to handle. If he really has to eat them all, it will take a lot of strength."

Xie Xiaoxiao understood this time, and rolled her eyes: "How can your head be full of unhealthy things? Aren't you ashamed?!"

He paused—

"Chen Xiao, that skinny guy, how could he possibly take on two of them? I think his best option is to have a heart-to-heart talk with both of them."

In Chen Xiao's room, there were intimate moments, as well as long and bouncy objects—

But contrary to their expectations, Chen Xiao was an absolute unbeatable king in bed.
Guo Fu and Li Zhi'en joined forces to fight him alone. Even using all their martial arts skills, the two women were no match for him, and were utterly routed, fleeing in disarray and drenched in sweat.
Zhang Ziqian came to the door again, acting as an eavesdropper. She wasn't eavesdropping; she was secretly learning so she wouldn't be caught off guard when facing Chen Xiao in the future.

The drumbeats grew increasingly intense, and Zhang Ziqian's mouth became dry.

A moment later, she heard Guo Fu inside, the young lady Guo, unable to contain herself any longer, shouting, "Ziqian, help me!!" (End of Chapter)
