A Bunch of Ungrateful Wretches, Don't Call Me Brother Anymore

To help his three adoptive siblings, Zhou Chen sacrificed his future, only for them to succeed. However, instead of gratitude, he was met with ingratitude, leading to a lifetime of hardship.

Chapter 735 Li Xiaolong is Laying Out His Plans! shuhaige.net

Zhou Ling is Zhou Chen's number one hater.

Besides thinking about revenge against Zhou Haide and Zhou Na, she spent her days paying attention to Zhou Chen's activities. On this day, when she logged onto Weibo, she suddenly saw Zhou Chen's name on the trending list.

How did Zhou Chen become famous again?

He's not a celebrity, so how come he attracts more attention than celebrities?

Zhou Ling subconsciously felt extremely annoyed. At the same time, she clicked on the headlines about Zhou Chen. After reading them all, she felt even worse.

Zhou Ling's face was gloomy as she stared at the computer screen, gritting her teeth.

Zhou Chen is actually the owner of the dungeon game.

Although she didn't like playing online games, she was familiar with Dungeon Fighter Online. Zhou Chuan had mentioned it to her more than once, praising how fun it was.

Unexpectedly, this game was created by Zhou Chen.

What she envied most was that the dungeon game was so profitable; Zhou Chen could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a day without doing anything and just by lying down.

And what about her?

If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of yuan in compensation from Zhou Haide, she wouldn't have a single penny to her name. All her current assets, when added together, might sometimes not even amount to what Zhou Chen earns in a single day.

Damn it, it's absolutely awful.

"I can't let myself be depressed and angry alone; my fourth brother has to know too."

Zhou Ling decided to let Zhou Chuan share her hardships.

When Zhou Ling told Zhou Chuan the news, the sound of typing on Zhou Chuan's keyboard stopped, and after a long while, an angry voice came through: "Dungeon Fighter Online is such a trash game, I'm never playing it again."

That was awesome!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling felt much less depressed. If she told Zhou Na, it would probably upset her even more, and she would probably feel much better.

However, she didn't want to do it herself.

With a quick glance, Zhou Ling immediately had an idea, "Fourth brother..."

On the other end,

Li Xiaolong had been paying close attention to Zhou Chen's reaction.

Seeing Hope Network Technology taking the opportunity to promote itself, Zhou Chen immediately realized that he didn't want to waste this opportunity.

"Although I promoted you, I also put you in the spotlight."

"I believe that other game companies in the same industry are already feeling the threat you pose."

"Now, it's my turn to take the stage again."

Li Xiaolong smiled slightly, then stood up and said to his bodyguard, "Have you contacted everyone yet?"

"After contacting them, the bosses of the top 20 companies in the gaming industry, except for a few such as Hope Network Technology and Tencent, all indicated that they would attend in person."

Li Xiaolong nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "Let's go. Keeping our guests waiting would damage our image."

Half an hour later,

Inside the most luxurious private room of a five-star hotel in Yanjing

Facing the various CEOs from the gaming industry whom he had invited, Li Xiaolong first summarized the current gaming market, noting that a few companies, including Tencent, held 70-80% of the market share, posing a significant threat to the companies present. He then proposed a solution: to establish a joint chamber of commerce to collectively block all other competitors.

"Congratulations, Young Master Li, on becoming the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Hopefully, the good days for internet technology are coming to an end soon."

Faced with the bodyguards' flattery, Li Xiaolong smiled calmly, "They know the strength of the Li family in Hong Kong, so naturally no one will compete with me for the position of chairman. Although some people are definitely not convinced by me, it doesn't matter. I will soon show them my strength."

"That's natural, Young Master Li is a business genius."

"A prodigy? Heh... I'll talk about that after I beat him."

In Li Xiaolong's eyes, Zhou Chen's image appeared. He had heard too many praises, and in Hong Kong, he was even praised as the next Li Jiacheng.

However, after arriving in the mainland and learning about Zhou Chen, even the proud and arrogant Li Xiaolong had to admit that Zhou Chen's business talent was equally formidable and in no way inferior to his own.

Zhou Chen ignited his fighting spirit, showing him a formidable opponent.

Only by defeating Zhou Chen can he rightfully enjoy the title of genius.

"By the way, how's the other thing I asked you to do coming along?"

"I got their phone numbers from the hospital."

Li Xiaolong nodded. "Give me Zhou Ling's phone number first, and I'll call her myself."

If we're talking about who hates Zhou Chen the most, and who doesn't get along with him, Zhou Ling is the first one that comes to mind. However, Zhou Ling's methods are too low-level, and her repeated attempts to retaliate have all failed, making her a complete laughingstock.

But it's okay.

Under his command, Zhou Ling could become a powerful tool to deal with Zhou Chen.

On the other end,

Zhou Ling was imagining Zhou Na's reaction when she heard that Zhou Chen owned a game company; she knew Zhou Na would be upset.

In Zhou Ling's view, hearing about Zhou Na's fruit milk tea shop closing down was like adding insult to injury.

"Second sister, you must regret agreeing to separate the family in the first place."

"Otherwise, with so many companies and so much money, Zhou Chen would definitely have a share for you. Unfortunately, none of this has anything to do with you now."

"Haha, are you feeling down?"

Although Zhou Ling hated Zhou Chen, she was happy to use Zhou Chen to provoke Zhou Na.

Just as Zhou Ling was talking to herself,

A phone call from an unknown number brought her back to her senses.

"I can help you deal with Zhou Chen. Would you like to meet me?"

The first thing Zhou Ling heard after answering the call startled her slightly. After a long pause, she finally said, "Who are you?"

"I'll give you the address. Come see me, and you'll know."

"Okay, go ahead."

Hang up the phone,

Zhou Ling frowned, filled with curiosity about the stranger who had called.

Who exactly is this person?

Why should we help her?

Zhou Ling had many questions in her mind.

Of course, this could also be a prank, just to tease her, and she could completely ignore it. But the temptation to get revenge on Zhou Chen was too great. She had suffered countless defeats at Zhou Chen's hands, and she even dreamed of winning just once.

"Whether it's true or not, I still have to go. If it's true, this might be my only chance."

After thinking it over, Zhou Ling felt that the possibility of it being a prank was very small, because only a very small number of people knew her phone number.

This person was able to find her phone number and knew about the hatred between her and Zhou Chen. They were definitely not an ordinary person. They were very likely Zhou Chen's business rival who came to her to take revenge on Zhou Chen.

She doesn't mind being used as a pawn.

She was willing to do anything to cause trouble for Zhou Chen, to make him unhappy or upset.

However, for safety reasons, Zhou Ling decided to take Zhao Kun with her.

Thinking of Zhao Kun,

Zhou Ling couldn't help but recall the time she followed Zhao Kun to the neighboring community. She always felt that Zhao Kun wasn't there to discuss business, but rather that he was hiding something from her.

Could it be that Zhao Kun is cheating on her with another woman behind her back?
