After going bankrupt, the Xiao family regretted their actions and tearfully begged Xiao Chen, who had become the richest man, to return home.
Xiao Chen's expression was cold: "We'...
Xiao Wanli's brows relaxed: "So your Chenhai Group will be registered under the name of Xiao Group from now on."
"In other words, no matter how great the achievements and miracles my company achieves in the future, they will all belong to you, Xiao family? I'll just be a slave in the front, and you'll just take 80 million and sit back and reap the benefits, gaining both fame and fortune?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Xiao Chen, I know your investment in this project is only about 100 or 200 million yuan, so 80 million yuan for your share is not too much."
Xiao Wanli stared at Xiao Chen, somewhat displeased: "Besides, I'm a major shareholder, so this request isn't excessive, right?"
"That makes sense, so what else is there?" Xiao Chen asked patiently.
"We, the Xiao family, have the dominant power over your company. Even if you are the chairman, all major decisions will be made by our Xiao Group."
Xiao Wanli said, "These are my three requests. I'll add more if I think of anything else."
"If you agree, we'll sign the contract and I'll transfer the money to your company account right away."
Xiao Wanli was prepared. He had already prepared two contracts when he came, and he pushed the contracts in front of Xiao Chen.
He stared at Xiao Chen and said, "You should be thankful because your company is too conspicuous. If there is no one to protect it from behind the scenes, it will not go far."
"The Xiao Group is not only investing this 80 million, but also safeguarding your future. This cooperation is a win-win for you no matter how you look at it."
Xiao Chen smiled. He picked up the contract on the table and glanced at it.
Then he said: "Xiao Wanli, I agree with what you said, and this is the only human thing you have said since you came in."
"What do you mean?" The smile on Xiao Wanli's face suddenly froze.
Originally, he had a clear idea of Xiao Chen and felt that he could definitely control him.
And Xiao Chen would not refuse the olive branch extended by the Xiao family.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Chen's performance didn't seem to be the case.
"Do you think that your Xiao Group is giving me alms by investing in me?" Xiao Chen said leisurely as he flipped through the contract and looked at the terms on it.
"Xiao Chen, don't be ungrateful. Do you know how many people want Xiao's investment?" Xiao Wanli's face looked ugly.
"I know, the Xiao family is rich and powerful, how many people want to get involved with your Xiao family?"
Xiao Chen stood up and looked at Xiao Wanli: "But do you really think I'm one of those entrepreneurs you see everywhere on the street?"
"You are indeed different from them, but I think you have no reason to refuse this contract with the Xiao family."
Xiao Chen stared at Xiao Wanli.
Xiao Wanli also stared at Xiao Chen. He was sure that Xiao Chen would not refuse him.
But the next second, Xiao Chen picked up the contract, pulled it with both hands, and swish...
Xiao Chen split the contract into two, then he sped up and tore the contract in his hand into pieces.
"You... dare." Xiao Wanli looked at Xiao Chen in amazement, completely dumbfounded.
"You do have good taste, but I really don't like your condescending attitude."
Xiao Chen sneered and scattered the fragments in his hand to the ground.
"I admit that what you said makes some sense. My company does need support if it wants to continue to develop."
"But this person is not you, not the Xiao family, or even anyone related to the Xiao family."
"Xiao Chen..." Xiao Wanli stared at Xiao Chen with gritted teeth. He was really bad.
He didn't expect that Xiao Chen would dare to challenge him like this?
After letting out a long breath, Xiao Chen felt much better.
Looking at Xiao Wanli's grim expression, he sneered, "My company's investment is not much, but it's not short of your 80 million."
"It would be great if you could use this little money to save small and micro businesses, but I don't need it."
"Xiao Chen, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"
"I don't know. You might as well tell me what the consequences will be." Xiao Chen stared at Xiao Yuanhe.
Discuss the consequences with him? Is Xiao Chen the kind of person who can be easily frightened by a few words from the other party?
"I can say that." Xiao Wanli took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"If you reject the Xiao family, your company won't go far, and no one else will invest in a company that the Xiao family doesn't invest in."
"Hey, are you threatening me?" Xiao Chen laughed. "Can your Xiao family, in Yanjing, really cover up everything?"
"Then I also told you that our Xiao family in Yanjing has always been able to cover the sky with one hand."
"Hehe... The Xiao family is so powerful? When did the world of Yanjing change?"
Following a sneer, Old Wen pushed the door open and walked in.
Wu Sheng was still following behind, looking embarrassed: "Boss Xiao, Mr. Wen insisted on coming in, I can't stop him."
"You can go down." Xiao Wanli calmed himself down and waved to Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng nodded, then bowed and walked out, closing the door.
"So it's my in-laws." Xiao Wanli stood up with a smile: "I heard that Wen Yi's eyes have recovered? That's really good news."
"There was quite a misunderstanding between Wen Yi and Gu Cheng before, but so many years have passed, and the misunderstanding should be resolved."
"When Gu Cheng's mission is over, I'll arrange for him and his wife to meet. Life must go on."
"We can't let them turn against each other just because of a child. We can't be in-laws, right?"
"Xiao Wanli, don't try to play tricks on me. I'm going to take Wen Yi away, and I'm taking this opportunity to inform you today that when Xiao Gucheng comes back, he will go back to the Wen family with me."
Elder Wen stared at Xiao Wanli and said, "From now on, they and your Xiao family will have nothing to do with each other."
Xiao Wanli's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "My dear relative, what are you saying in anger?"
"Of course they will live together in the future, but they are both our children. Why should we distinguish between you and me?"
"Haha, Xiao Wanli, do you know what I admire most about you?" Elder Wen stared at Xiao Wanli and sneered, "To be honest, what I admire most is your thick skin."
"Xiao Gucheng is a man who values friendship. Back then, just for his mother's last words, he was willing to work for your Xiao family for so many years."
"And all these years, you've been reaping the rewards of his life-threatening efforts, yet you've never treated him as your own son."
"In his eyes, he, Xiao Gucheng, is nothing more than an illegitimate child."
"My dear relatives, this is a bit too much. Xiao Gucheng will always be my son. This is a fact that no one can change." Xiao Wanli frowned.
"Don't bother talking to me about this kind of nonsense." Elder Wen said coldly, "I'm here today to sever ties with you on behalf of Xiao Gucheng."
"Xiao Gucheng is my son. Why do you say we should break up just like that?" Xiao Wanli's face darkened.
"Just because Wen Yi is his wife, and just because Wen Yi and he have a child." Old Wen said in a deep voice.
Xiao Wanli's expression changed slightly, and then turned ugly.
He knew that Mr. Wen probably already knew Xiao Chen's identity.
