With the concerted efforts of all the shareholders of Huaruitong Company, the company's stock price quickly rose as they acquired shares in the market.

In the company.

As the stock price rebounded, the eldest son of the Shao family sneered, "Hmph! Financial bully, what a misnomer."

"With such a simple trick, you think you can acquire my Huaruitong? You're dreaming!"

Ding ding ding.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and he said softly, "Come in."

Then Shao Xiang came in and asked, "Brother, you were looking for me?"

The eldest son of the Shao family gestured for him to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea and said slowly, "Younger brother, Father is gone. Now, only a few of us are the closest relatives in the world."

“You are the youngest among us brothers and sisters. We have a responsibility and an obligation to take care of you. Father will be happy to see us united and harmonious in heaven.”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "To be frank, my brother wants to acquire the shares of Huaruitong that you hold."

"I can guarantee you a high price, and I'll give you enough dividends every year so you can live a life of comfort."

"That way, you won't have to work at the company, and you can do what you like and be free. Isn't that great?"

Shao Xiang didn't answer, but changed the subject: "Brother, is Zhong Rou still attacking our company?"

“It’s nothing to mention.” The eldest son of the Shao family laughed. “We defended it easily. Next, I’m going to force her to sell her Huaruitong shares at a low price, take away her chips, and leave her with nothing.”

"I want her to know that even if her father leaves, Huaruitong Company is not to be trifled with!"

Once the eldest son of the Shao family takes the chairman's position, he can use various methods to take away the shares held by Zhong Rou.

Seeing his elder brother's confident demeanor, Shao Xiang advised, "Brother, Zhong Rou has been a force to be reckoned with in the financial market for over a decade, and she has brought down far too many companies. She's not that simple."

The eldest son of the Shao family looked serious. "Alright, let's not talk about that. I want you to sell your shares to me."

Shao Xiang pondered for three seconds and replied, "Brother, let me think about it some more."

"What do you mean?" The eldest son of the Shao family's face darkened instantly, as if it could drip water.

"Brother, this matter is very important and complicated. It's not something I can decide on my own. I need to discuss it with Mother..."

Shao Xiang explained his thoughts, but before he could finish speaking, the eldest son of the Shao family became impatient and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you can leave now."

Shao Xiang gave his elder brother a deep look, then got up and left the office.

Bang!

The eldest son of the Shao family smashed his teacup, making a crisp sound. His face was gloomy: "Out of brotherhood, I kindly acquired the shares, but you all don't take me seriously."

"Fine, since that's how it is, don't blame me for disregarding family ties."

... ...

Shao Xiang walked out of the office and glanced back.

He is not opposed to selling his shares.

Just as he told Xu Yuexin, the assets left by Shao Bowen were enough to ensure that the mother and son would live comfortably for several lifetimes.

However, he needed to discuss it with Xu Yuexin. His mother had worried about him for over a decade, and he couldn't just sell the property without her consent.

That destroyed all the hard work and toil my mother had put in over the years.

"Little brother, have you sold them yet?" the second son of the Shao family asked, craning his neck. "Sell the shares to me, and I'll give you a high price."

"Second brother, I need to discuss this with mother."

"Contact me if you want to sell."

Just then, Shao Xiang received an unexpected phone call from Zhong Rou, asking him to meet.

He naturally agreed.

They then went to the meeting place, a boxing gym.

Zhong Rou stood in the middle, surrounded by three burly men who formed a triangle and stared at her menacingly.

She beckoned with her finger, and the three burly men looked at each other, then attacked together.

While dodging the attacks, Zhong Rou waited for an opportunity to strike. Seizing the moment, she took down one burly man first, and then took down the other two.

"Mr. Zhong, you're amazing!" the three burly men exclaimed.

“That’s because you’re all trash!” Zhong Rou replied without any mercy.

Then Zhong Rou took off her boxing gloves and walked out of the ring. Wen Qing brought her some water, which she drank in large gulps.

After finishing his drink, he finally looked up at Shao Xiang.

Zhong Rou smiled and said, "Shall we have a fight?"

"If you win, I'll give you my shares in Huaruitong; if I win, you give me your shares. How about that?"

"Aunt Zhong Rou, I can't beat you." Shao Xiang said with a wry smile.

He knew Zhong Rou's combat record, well... the real combat kind.

A few years ago, when she was abroad, someone tried to kidnap her. She fought back and killed the kidnapper. The court ruled that it was excessive self-defense and fined her several million dollars.

Zhong Rou has a history of murder.

Shao Xiang didn't have that guts.

“You’re a piece of trash too.” Zhong Rou rolled her eyes.

"Aunt Zhong Rou, did you call me here because you want to buy my shares?"

“It seems that someone else wants to buy your shares.” Zhong Rou stroked her chin and reasoned, “Right now, the only ones vying for power in the Shao family are the eldest and second eldest sons, and both of them are trying to buy your shares.”

"I think you'd better sell it to me."

"For Xiao Jin's sake, I can give you a sum of money that will satisfy you very much."

She paused, signaling Shao Xiang to shut up, and then said, "Don't rush to use the excuse of needing to discuss it with your mother to refuse me."

"Even though you're a mama's boy, you really need to discuss this with your mom."

"But... you need to reason with your mother and present the facts. You need to tell her that you have no foundation at Huaruitong, your orders can't even leave the department, and even your employees might not obey them. Therefore, your chances of becoming the chairman are very, very low."

"Therefore, you need to let your mother know that her best option right now is to sell the shares to me. I'm offering a much higher price than your two brothers."

"Moreover, I can also take down those unfilial sons of Hua Ruitong and vent your mother's anger."

Zhong Rou took a sip of water and said, "Alright, just use this line of reasoning with your mother, and she'll definitely agree to sell the shares to me."

Shao Xiang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Zhong Rou is too amazing; she blocked all paths with just one sentence.

He seemed to have no reason to refuse.

Shao Xiang took a deep breath and decided to answer honestly: "Aunt Zhong Rou, I don't want to sell."

"Why?" Zhong Rou tilted her head.

"Just consider it my whim."

Hearing this, Zhong Rou wasn't angry. Instead, she showed a satisfied expression: "That's good. I like your attitude."

"Everyone has to be willful a few times in their life."

"But you have to pay the price for being willful."

"Let me make this clear first: I have an 80% chance of winning against Huaruitong. When I do, I won't hold back against you. I hope you won't resent me then."

Shao Xiang nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, Aunt Zhong Rou."

Zhong Rou waved her hand: "Hey, this is bullshit teaching, this is threatening you to hand over your shares, but you didn't take the bait, it's all for nothing!"

Shao Xiang: "... ..."

"I've made plans to have dinner with Xiao Jin, are you coming?" Zhong Rou asked.

"want!"

Zhong Rou rolled her eyes: "You've really lived your life, being Xiao Jin's lapdog for over ten years."

"I do."

"Simps get nothing."

"There's every kind of simp you could want."

"Damn it!"

... ...

Two days later, Wen Qing entered Zhong Rou's office and said, "Rou Rou, the second sister of the Shao family has agreed to sell her shares."

"Hehe... ...you've finally arrived." Zhong Rou smiled upon hearing this.

... ...

On this day, Shao Xiang arrived at the company.

A subordinate came over and said anxiously, "Mr. Shao, several of our colleagues have been fired again. You have to take care of this and stand up for us."

Shao Xiang pondered for a few seconds and said, "Tell those colleagues who were fired not to rush, to stay at home for a while and take paid leave. I will find an opportunity to bring them back to work."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Shao."

Shao Xiang entered the office, and then the department employees whispered among themselves:

"What's going on here? Going to work is like being beheaded; every moment I'm worried that an axe will chop into my neck."

"Tell me, how come it's us lowly employees who get hurt when these successors of the Shao family are fighting for the chairman's position?"

"That's right, ever since Chairman Shao left, our company has been in constant turmoil. There have been layoffs, resignations, infighting between departments, and even physical fights. It's complete chaos."

"If this continues, our company will be in danger."

Sigh...

“... ..."

Shao Xiang entered the office, sat down immediately, and rubbed his temples.

Ever since he refused to sell his shares, the eldest son of the Shao family has used all sorts of methods to suppress him, completely disregarding blood ties.

suddenly--

A broadcast voice came from the computer: "Today, financial tyrant Zhong Rou issued another research report on Huaruitong Company, saying that the company's successors are scheming against each other for the chairman's position, with departments fighting each other and even resorting to violence, which has brought the company to a standstill."

"Zhong Rou believed that Huaruitong Company was no longer suitable for investment and was gradually heading towards its demise, so she decided to sell all her shares."

Shao Xiang opened his eyes: "You're here."

He knew that Zhong Rou, after being silent for so long, had finally started to make her move.
