King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Xu Meijuan's home conference room is no smaller than the company's conference room!

Seated at the head of the long table was none other than Song Guolong, today's "mediator"!

And Hsu Chia-yi... the Hsu family's "chairman" who had just undergone surgery was also there!

He lay on a stretcher, with tubes inserted into his body... to the left of the desk.

Xu Meijuan, Xu Meitong, Xu Shaokun, and all the senior leaders of Hengdai were seated on the left.

To Song Guolong's right sat another old man, who gave us a vicious look when he saw Xu Meiyun and me come in... and Xiao Bo was sitting next to him!

Needless to say, that old guy must be Xiao Zhenjiang!

Next to Xiao Bo sat a young and beautiful girl, who was also glaring at us with resentment...

Dozens of bodyguards maintained order in the venue, while Song Guolong leisurely smoked a cigar!

Upon seeing me, Xiao Bo's eyes immediately turned bloodshot. He grabbed an ashtray and was about to rush towards me when his two bodyguards held him down firmly!

"You son of a bitch surnamed Song! I'll f*** your mother! You bastard! You seduced someone else's wife, you'll die a horrible death!" Xiao Bo yelled at me.

"Bullshit!"

Xu Meiyun shouted, "Who's your wife? Did I even register our marriage?"

"Meiyun!"

I frowned, gave Xu Meiyun a look, and shook my head, signaling her not to act impulsively!

The young and pretty girl next to Xiao Zhenjiang and Xiao Bo quickly got up and pulled the bodyguards' arms, asking them to let go of Xiao Bo... but the two burly bodyguards held Xiao Bo firmly and wouldn't let go.

Song Guolong, exhaling smoke rings, said with a forced, smug smile, "Old Xiao! Our son has too much of a temper; he needs to change it! Otherwise, he'll suffer in the future!"

"Uncle Long! That Song Cheng seduced my wife! We were about to get engaged! He interfered like this, and he's also Xu Meijuan's lover! He just wanted to sleep with Meiyun!" Xiao Bo yelled.

Xu Meijuan's eyes widened immediately, and she was about to burst into a tirade, but Song Guolong raised his hand slightly, which suppressed her anger!

Xu Jiayi was so angry that he was trembling and looked like he was about to explode. Xu Shaokun, worried, quickly went over and grabbed Xu Jiayi's hand: "Dad! Don't get agitated! Uncle Song is handling this for us..."

The young and pretty girl next to Xiao Bo also spoke up for him, saying, "Uncle Long! We all respect you! We asked you to uphold justice, but... we can't just let this scoundrel run rampant like this! He even stole my future sister-in-law away!"

Song Guolong chuckled and exhaled a smoke ring: "Xiao Bo, in this world, what's reasonable isn't necessarily justified, and what's justified... isn't necessarily legal, right? We're all law-abiding citizens, so we should consider legality first when doing anything, right?"

He paused, then continued, "Meiyun isn't married to you yet, it's her freedom to choose who she likes... but you came to my door causing trouble and assaulting me, that's illegal, am I right?"

"Uncle Long, you're protecting him! I won't accept this!"

Xiao Bo yelled, "That filthy idiot is a despicable bastard, he's always seducing other women..."

Song Guolong frowned slightly. The burly bodyguard who was holding Xiao Bo understood and immediately snatched the ashtray from Xiao Bo's hand, flipped him over, held him down, and slapped him hard across the face!

Instantly, Xiao Bo's face was covered in blood on one side, and he lost several teeth!

At this, the Xiao family members sitting on the right were not happy and all stood up!

"Brother Long, what are you doing...?"

Xiao Zhenjiang grabbed the bodyguard's arm to prevent him from continuing to beat Xiao Bo, and at the same time turned to look at Song Guolong in shock.

"Old Xiao!"

Song Guolong pondered for a moment and said, "This junior is ignorant, his mouth is full of foul language... I'm just teaching him a lesson for you. If you're not satisfied, you can take your men and leave now..."

It's quite obvious that the Xiao family is also a debtor of the Song family...

Xiao Zhenjiang's expression twisted, and after a few seconds of slowed breathing, he sat down again. The rest of the Xiao family members followed suit.

"Take Young Master Xiao to wash his face..." Song Guolong said thoughtfully.

Two bodyguards grabbed Xiao Bo and dragged him out of the conference room through the front door like he was a chick.

The Xiao family members were all angry but dared not speak out, their expressions extremely aggrieved!

The ancients said... "Cleanse your mouth, cultivate your character, regulate your family, and then bring peace to the world..."

Song Guolong pondered for a moment and said, "You young people, first and foremost, you must learn to keep your mouth shut! Don't be so quick to curse and spew vulgarities! I hate hearing profanity!"

"Longbo!"

The pretty girl from the Xiao family said, "So how should we resolve this? This isn't just about my brother and Xu Meiyun; it also involves the Yunbo Auto project. Our family has invested over 100 billion yuan, the factory is already built, and we've recruited all the workers!"

"Ha! It's just withdrawing investment..."

Song Guolong smiled faintly, then turned to Xu Jiayi and said, "This Yunbo Automobile project is a key project that the city is paying close attention to. We can't let it be ruined because of... two young people's affairs! Old Xu, don't you think I'm right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Lying on the stretcher, Xu Jiayi nodded repeatedly: "Brother Long, I can't persuade my disobedient daughter. Please help me talk to her..."

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Song Guolong laughed and said, "That's not right. The saying goes, 'Men should marry when they are of age, and women should marry when they are of age...' Love and marriage are matters of freedom, written into the law, and no one can interfere! This isn't the old society anymore, how can I interfere with Meiyun's marriage? Don't even mention me, an outsider; even you, Meiyun's own father, can't interfere!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiayi's face turned ashen: "Brother Long, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Hehe!"

Song Guolong laughed and said, "Just return the 100 billion to Old Xiao! If you return the money, would Old Xiao be so angry?"

As soon as he said that, I saw Xiao Zhenjiang's expression immediately soften, and he wasn't as angry as before...

"Oh dear... Brother Long, I don't have 100 billion! I've already spent all my money! Brother Long..."

Song Guolong completely ignored Xu Jiayi's desperate pleas and turned to Xiao Zhenjiang, saying, "Old Xiao, here's your 100 billion investment back. Can we settle this now?"

Xiao Zhenjiang took a deep breath and said, "If the Xu family is willing to return the 100 billion, then we can let this matter drop..."

"good!"

Song Guolong laughed and said, "That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear... But what about it?"

He then turned to Xu Jiayi with a sly smile and said, "Old Xu, I know you're broke, but I've got money! I can clean up your mess..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiayi's expression shifted from sorrow to joy, but he quickly became tense and fearful again, his lips trembling as he asked, "Brother Long, you mean...?"

"hehe!"

Song Guolong laughed and said, "The Yunbo Auto project can't fail... This is a project that the city is paying close attention to, and it's also a benchmark project for new energy vehicles in Jiangcheng City. Old Xu, you have to have some social responsibility! You have to be concerned about what the leaders are concerned about. You can't just go public, make a bunch of money, and run away!"

One sentence struck Xu Jiayi's "Achilles' heel," and Xu Jiayi trembled, his eyes filled with turbidity, tension, and confusion!

"If you're going to do things this way, don't blame me for withdrawing my investment..." Song Guolong said with a wicked smile.

"No, no! Oh, Brother Long, this is a genuine investment in a business transformation, I don't do anything that scams people..." Xu Jiayi quickly explained.

"hehe!"

Song Guolong smiled faintly: "Of course, it's the same old rule! I can provide the 100 billion to clean up your mess, but your Xu family has to mortgage the Jiangcheng Hengdai Shopping Mall and the Jiangcheng Hengdai Food City!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiayi almost fainted!

Xu Meijuan objected, her face serious, "Uncle Song, Hengdai Shopping Mall and Hengdai Food City have a total market value of 300 billion. What you're doing... is no different from robbery!"

"yes!"

Xu Shaokun trembled with nervousness: "Uncle Song... Hengdai Real Estate only has this much left. Could you perhaps suggest something else, like some new developments Hengdai has undertaken..."

Song Guolong leaned back in his chair and chuckled coldly, "Shao Kun! When an adult is speaking, don't interrupt..."

One sentence left Xu Shaokun speechless with embarrassment, turning his head away and swallowing hard.

But then again... he's not a shareholder, so what right does he have to speak?

"Uncle Song!"

Xu Meijuan said with a serious expression, "We are very grateful that you are willing to take over the Yunbo Auto project, but... using Hengdai Shopping Mall and Hengdai Food City as collateral is a condition that we find difficult to accept!"

"hehe!"

Song Guolong looked at Xu Meijuan with a smile, and said meaningfully, "Meijuan! Hengdai Shopping Mall and Hengdai Food City, these two... even if Old Xu is gone one day, they won't fall into your hands, right? Why are you so nervous? However... I'll say it again, if you're willing to accept my 'mediation,' then accept it; if you're not willing to accept it, then keep fighting!"

He paused, then continued, "Also, Meijuan, have you forgotten what you promised your uncle? You wouldn't let Xiao Song and Lanlan get hurt in the slightest. Look at Xiao Song's head... I remember saying before that if they lost even a single hair, I would withdraw all my investment! But, I can put that aside for now and talk about Yunbo Auto first!"

Listening to Song Guolong's words, a chill ran down my spine...

Now we finally understand the weight of Xu Meijuan's earlier statement: Song Guolong's rise to power was not based on return on capital, but on confiscation of property!

He's going to raid the Xu family's property!

Moreover, he was even familiar with the contents of that will!

Today I finally saw the true face of a financial tycoon!

Xu Meijuan clenched her fist tightly around the pen, veins bulging on her forehead, her breathing becoming heavy, clearly caught in a huge contradiction and struggle...

The negotiation scene reached a stalemate for a time...

The Xu family was all silent and anxious... If they mortgaged it, they would lose their last valuable asset. If they didn't mortgage it at a lower level... they simply wouldn't be able to come up with that 100 billion!

Since no one is saying anything...

Song Guolong laughed and said, "Then let me hear Xiao Song's opinion. Xiao Song, why don't you say a few words? After all, you're the one who caused this..."

His question completely baffled me. Let me say something.

Who am I...? Shall I say a few words?

"Uncle Song..."

I swallowed hard and said, "Pawning Hengdai Shopping Mall and the food court... I think we should forget about that. Can we find something else...?"

Upon hearing what I said, Xu Shaokun, Xu Meijuan, and Xu Meitong all gave me grateful looks!

Even when Grandpa Xu looked at me, his eyes weren't so malicious anymore.

"but......"

I took a deep breath and said, "However... Mr. Xu, we need to revise the will..."
