"Young Master!"
The driver was waiting outside. Seeing Su Wenchao smashed into a pile of mud, he was scared out of his wits. He rushed over to help support Su Wenchao.
"Get lost!"
Su Wenchao refused his help and flung the driver away. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Su Muqiu, how dare you hook up with Zhao Yongrong and cheat behind my back! Just you wait, I will make you lose everything!"
He was the prestigious young master of the Su family. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? Based on what Zhao Yongrong just said, Su Wenchao directed all his rage at Su Muqiu.
Just ten minutes ago, he had called Su Muqiu to brag. Yet ten minutes later, Zhao Yongrong had ruthlessly rejected him at the door. If Su Muqiu had not caused trouble in secret, how could this be such a coincidence?
Moreover, Su Muqiu currently had no money or power and her situation was worrying. Why would Zhao Yongrong oppose the Su family for her sake?
In Su Wenchao's opinion, there could only be one explanation: Su Muqiu and Zhao Yongrong were having an affair!
Thinking this way, everything suddenly became clear.
In just two short years, Su Muqiu, a mere woman, had risen meteorically in the Su Group. It turned out she did not have strong business skills, just a strong ability to seduce men.
"Let's go, find Manager Li!"
Su Wenchao looked back and glared venomously at the Zhao Group building. Then he got into his black BMW and sped away...
...
Zhao Group Headquarters, 18th Floor, President's Office.
Zhao Yongrong stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the street below. He watched as the black BMW disappeared around a corner. Taking out his phone, he respectfully laughed and said, "Brother Hong, I taught that punk a lesson and made him run away with his tail between his legs."
"Mm."
A masculine voice came through the phone: "Remember, Su Muqiu is a woman you can't afford to offend. From now on, no matter what she asks of you, you must satisfy her requests at all costs."
"Huh?"
Zhao Yongrong exclaimed in surprise, "At all costs? Brother Hong, what kind of background does she have that even you defer to her?"
Zhao Yongrong was very clear about Su Muqiu's details, since they both lived in Quancheng.
She was just an out-of-favor granddaughter of the Su family, right? She had a child out of wedlock five years ago and married a rapist. She was like a street rat, pointed at and gossiped about.
Previously, the main reason Zhao Yongrong had agreed to work with the Su Group and Su Muqiu was that he had ulterior motives and lusted after her beauty. He wanted to find an opportunity to seduce her.
But now, Brother Hong actually said she was a woman Zhao Yongrong could not afford to offend?
How could Zhao Yongrong not be shocked?
"Not just defer, but extreme deference."
Brother Hong's voice deepened, "You are not qualified to know her background. You just need to understand that if you offend her, the people behind her can bankrupt you and ruin your family with one sentence..."
He paused and added, "The same goes for me!"
Gulp!
Zhao Yongrong nervously swallowed hard upon hearing this. His heart was beating wildly. Even through the phone, he could feel a piercing chill.
"Seeking death!"
Brother Hong's voice instantly turned cold and murderous. Despite the separation, Zhao Yongrong could sense a wave of bone-chilling intent.
"Brother Hong, I was wrong!"
Zhao Yongrong's legs went soft and he collapsed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He pleaded, "I was blind earlier and had no idea she had such a powerful background. Please help me resolve this predicament for old times' sake. Please point me to a way out..."
Slap! Slap slap!
Zhao Yongrong fiercely slapped himself several times.
After a while, Brother Hong snorted, "You got yourself into this mess, so you figure your way out! Go to Fuyuan Community right now and kneel to apologize! Which hand touched Miss Su's leg...that hand can be spared!"
After saying this, he immediately hung up.
Zhao Yongrong felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse...
...
Su Group Headquarters.
"Dad, everything is going very smoothly. Wenchao called Manager Zhao, Manager Li, and Manager Wang. They agreed to sign the contract with Wenchao, and now Wenchao has gone to them with the documents."
Su Jianguo and Su Wenchao had split up to handle matters. Su Wenchao went to sign contracts while Su Jianguo eagerly came to report to Su Bingtian: "If nothing unexpected happens, we can take over all of Muqiu's major clients this afternoon. Then, Father, you can decide how to deal with Muqiu however you see fit with just one word."
"Good, not bad."
Su Bingtian's expression was impassive, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief inside.
Those major clients from Su Muqiu were very important to the Su Group. Successfully signing contracts with them would definitely bring the Su Group to greater heights.
That was why he had waited until now to make a move against Su Muqiu.
Now things were good.
Keeping the major clients while getting rid of Su Muqiu, killing two birds with one stone.
"This child Wenchao, he takes after me. He is efficient, shrewd, calm and prudent. He has great potential."
Su Bingtian praised for a bit, then sighed, "I'm old now, getting on in years. I can't keep struggling after working hard for most of my life. It's about time I stepped down to enjoy my twilight years."
"Dad, you mean..."
Su Jianguo's brows twitched violently. His eyes lit up as he vaguely guessed Su Bingtian's intention.
Sure enough, Su Bingtian said solemnly, "After resolving this matter, Su Group will prosper and have boundless prospects. I plan to formally retire and step down from my position as Chairman, leaving things for you and Wenchao to take over."
Thump!
Su Jianguo was overjoyed to the point of death. He directly knelt before Su Bingtian and excitedly said, "Dad, don't worry. Wenchao and I will work hard and do our utmost to grow Su Group stronger. We will not betray your trust and expectations!"
He spoke ardently and passionately.
"Stand up."
Su Bingtian's expression was indifferent. He stood up and said, "I made an appointment with Director Song from the Public Security Bureau. We're playing tennis together this afternoon at 2pm. I'll mention Xiao Zhan's matter to him then."
"Xiao Zhan?"
Su Jianguo was puzzled. "Dad, you mean...?"
"That brat's kung fu skills are pretty good. He's a threat. If he knows when to back down and can be used by me, that's ideal. If not, we'll find an opportunity to send him back to prison..."
After speaking, Su Bingtian was about to leave when hurried footsteps sounded at just that moment.
"Dad!"
Su Wenchao rushed into the office looking anxious.
"You're just in time."
Su Jianguo was overjoyed and eagerly asked, "Did you meet Manager Zhao, Manager Li and Manager Wang? How did the talks go? Did you sign the contracts?"
"I..."
Su Wenchao's face didn't look too good. He had wanted to tell the truth, but seeing that Su Bingtian was also present, he forcibly swallowed the words that had almost left his mouth. He hemmed and hawed, reluctant to confess.
If Su Bingtian found out he had botched the contract matters, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Speak up!"
Su Jianguo was extremely impatient. He was on the verge of rushing forward to slap Su Wenchao several times. Father was finally going to step down. As long as they took Su Muqiu's major clients and signed the contracts, Su Group would be their father and son's world!
Why was he dilly-dallying?
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
