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 762 Zhou Ling: Something feels off!

Amidst everyone's astonishment, Zhou Chen added point by point. Hearing the first few sentences, everyone thought they had misheard, unable to understand why Zhou Chen would agree with Li Xiaolong's viewpoint, especially since Li Xiaolong seemed to be targeting him.

Did Zhou Chen not realize Li Xiaolong's purpose?

But soon they found out that Zhou Chen was not unaware, because Zhou Chen spoke frankly and criticized Li Xiaolong without holding back.

They exploited loopholes in the rules proposed by Li Xiaolong to attack his lack of rigor, indirectly questioning his position as president of the Joint Chamber of Commerce.

This move was undeniably brilliant, showcasing Zhou Chen's quick thinking and ability to react swiftly to a major event that could shake the gaming world.

Li Xiaolong also recognized this.

He frowned slightly, not expecting Zhou Chen to turn the tables on him so quickly.

But he remained completely calm.

Because he still held a significant advantage, Zhou Chen's counterattack wouldn't hurt him; at most, it would only cause him some loss of face. Moreover, in his view, what Zhou Chen added was even harsher than the rules he had proposed, and such behavior was tantamount to digging his own grave.

The most crucial point is that if Tencent finds out that Zhou Chen, their partner, has proposed something unfavorable to them, will Tencent develop a negative opinion of Zhou Chen, potentially causing a rift in their partnership?

Once Tencent abandons its cooperation with Zhou Chen, it will be easy for Tencent to manipulate Zhou Chen in the gaming industry.

What he feared most was not Zhou Chen, but Tencent, which cooperated with Zhou Chen, because Tencent was too big and had abundant funds, and even his Li family would find it difficult to compete with it.

Now, he sees hope in defeating them one by one.

Thinking of all this, Li Xiaolong was not angry at all; instead, his smile deepened. He felt that Zhou Chen was courting death.

"Clap clap clap..."

Li Xiaolong clapped his hands and laughed, "Boss Zhou, you truly deserve to be the top scholar in the province. I completely agree with what you added. In some aspects, I did have some shortcomings in my considerations, but fortunately, Boss Zhou reminded me in time. I will definitely incorporate Boss Zhou's suggestions and strive to implement them as soon as possible. To thank Boss Zhou for his support of this reform in the game industry, as the president of the Game Federation Chamber of Commerce, I humbly request Boss Zhou's permission to promote the reform under the name of Hope Network Technology. Boss Zhou should have no objection, right?"

"sure."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Li Xiaolong sneered inwardly. He hadn't expected Zhou Chen to take the bait so easily. Once he spread the word about Hope Technology Network, he would definitely disgust Tencent and exacerbate the huge rift between Zhou Chen and Tencent.

Zhou Chen didn't even notice this.

"I thought you were a tough opponent, but it seems I overestimated you."

"Provincial champion, business prodigy, haha, nothing special."

Li Xiaolong was very happy. Even if Zhou Chen realized what was going on later, he didn't care. After all, Zhou Chen had personally agreed, and all he needed to do was spread the word.

Everyone present witnessed the conversation between the two.

Many bosses looked at Zhou Chen and couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, lamenting that Zhou Chen was still too young and hadn't seen Li Xiaolong's hidden purpose.

There were many intelligent people present, especially seasoned business veterans who saw through Li Xiaolong's trap, which was enough to plunge Zhou Chen into an abyss of no return.

The trap was completed just after Zhou Chen nodded.

Next comes fermentation, the final step.

Zhou Chen's gaming business is finished.

Once a rift develops with Tencent, and Zhou Chen offends Tencent and falls out with Li Xiaolong, even if he is very good at creating games, he will find it difficult to make any progress in this industry.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaolong, a young man much younger than Zhou Chen, will be the final winner.

No wonder he's a young master from a wealthy family in Hong Kong.

Their methods are far beyond what Zhou Chen, a nobody who rose from humble beginnings in the countryside, could match. Their background and knowledge far surpass Zhou Chen's.

Some bosses who admired Zhou Chen felt sorry for him, but no one would stand up for him because no one wanted to offend Li Xiaolong.

Moreover, Zhou Chen's exit from the gaming industry might not be a bad thing for them. With one less powerful competitor, they would gain a larger market share, which is a lot of money. Even if they can't take it all, they can at least get a share.

As beneficiaries, they naturally cannot engage in unprofitable transactions.

As for who is right and who is wrong between Zhou Chen and Li Xiaolong, nobody cares, and it has nothing to do with them, as long as they can make money.

"Haha, Zhou Chen, that idiot, has he lost his mind today? Someone sold him out, and he's actually helping them count the money."

Zhao Kun was ecstatic. He never expected that Zhou Chen would not only jump into the pit that Li Xiaolong had dug, but also put a lid on it for herself. Wasn't this just pure suicide?

He really liked Zhou Chen's behavior.

So even you, Zhou Chen, have moments when your IQ isn't online, haha, just wait until you crash and burn and regret it this time.

"Brother Kun, do you think he might have done it on purpose? I feel like this was too easy, something feels off." Zhou Ling wasn't smug; on the contrary, she was full of doubts. After all, based on her many experiences of opposing Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen shouldn't be the kind of person who makes decisions without thinking. Why would he give advice to Li Xiaolong when he knew that Li Xiaolong was the president of the Chamber of Commerce and was hostile towards him?

They were even willing to cooperate with Li Xiaolong in promoting game reforms.

wrong,

There must be something fishy going on here, some conspiracy.

Should we warn Li Xiaolong not to be fooled by Zhou Chen?

Zhou Chen is extremely despicable and shameless. It is very likely that this is a ruse or something similar by Zhou Chen.

Zhou Ling voiced her concerns.

Zhao Kun disagreed and retorted, "Wife, you overestimate him. I admit that I have lost to him many times before, but don't forget that Zhou Chen is also a human, not a god. Since he is a human, he will make mistakes. In addition, Li Xiaolong suddenly announced the Game Alliance Chamber of Commerce and became its president. He may not have thought of any good ideas at the moment, so he pretended to cooperate and even deliberately catered to him."

In fact, this also proves that his repeated entrepreneurial successes are not due to his own abilities, but rather to the help of Sun Liancheng behind him. Sun Liancheng isn't present right now, so he doesn't know exactly what to do. Just watch, he'll definitely suffer a huge loss this time.

Hearing these words, Zhou Ling felt they made sense. She had indeed thought Zhou Chen was too difficult to deal with, which was probably related to the fact that she hadn't gotten any benefits from Zhou Chen before. But this time, it wasn't her who made the move, but Li Xiaolong. Zhou Chen was under pressure, which led to a misjudgment, which was perfectly normal.

Perhaps she was overthinking things, to the point that once bitten, twice shy.
