As expected, when Cao Kun heard the news, his eyebrows knitted together and he asked in a cold voice:
"Mr. Chen, you've taken over Highway 302 in one gulp, leaving us two families starving."
Chen Yang was speechless for a moment, but before he could answer, Huang Minghong smiled and advised:
"Cao Kun, don't be anxious."
"Highway 302 belongs to Mr. Chen. The Hong family still has many houses and shops. We can just divide these properties between the two of us."
Cao Kun sneered, "Even if we sold all those shabby houses and shops, they'd only fetch a mere tens of millions. Compared to 302, it's a drop in the bucket. He took the bulk of it, leaving us with these few melons and dates to feed the beggars?!"
Huang Minghong spread his hands:
"I can't do anything about it. This is all Mr. Chen's idea. He is close to Miss Ling. Huang really doesn't dare to disobey."
Chen Yang, who was standing aside, felt more and more that something was wrong.
After all this time, is Huang Minghong taking advantage of him?
On the surface, they invited him to come and show support, but in reality they wanted to use Chen Yang's identity to wipe out the Hong family in one fell swoop.
As for how the Cao family will react, that has nothing to do with him, Huang.
These are actually not the key points. The key point is that Huang Minghong did not discuss it with him in advance!
At this moment, Chen Yang was caught off guard, and his cell phone suddenly rang.
When he took it out and looked at it, he found that he didn't know who had sent him a text message.
"Mr. Chen, help Mr. Huang take over the Hong family, and we'll split the profits 50-50."
After reading it, Chen Yang silently deleted the text message.
I looked back inadvertently and saw a lawyer from the Huang family calmly putting down his phone in the crowd behind him. It was obvious that the text message was sent by him.
Turning around, Chen Yang put away his phone and said nothing.
In fact, it is not impossible to use Ling Wei's name to help Huang Minghong take over Highway 302.
But the question is, how will the Cao family react?
If he goes too far, will the Cao family retaliate against Chen Yang in private?
Or, will Huang Minghong fulfill his promise of a 50-50 profit split?
Chen Yang thought to himself that the worst outcome would be that he would not only offend the Cao family, but would also be fooled by Huang Minghong in the end, making the outcome more than he gained.
For a moment, the small stone table fell into absolute silence.
Chen Yang frowned, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind.
Huang Minghong looked indifferent, as if he was sure that Chen Yang would help him.
He had observed Chen Yang before.
This young man comes from a low-income family and has little experience in the world.
I promised him benefits time and time again and always gave him face.
By now, I'm afraid Chen Yang has already devoted himself to me, and he will definitely help me with this little favor.
The key at this moment is, how will Cao Kun, who is sitting across the table, react?
Huang Minghong was waiting for his reaction.
But he never expected that he had underestimated Cao Kun.
After a full minute of silence, Cao Kun suddenly put one hand on the table.
"Mr. Chen, how much did he give you privately?"
Chen Yang was stunned: "What?"
Cao Kun tapped the table with four fingers, staring intently at Huang Minghong across from him. He continued to speak to Chen Yang, "Don't play double game with me here, the two of you. The Hong family was indeed destroyed by Miss Ling, but if she wanted to take over the Hong family's assets, she would send someone to take over herself. She wouldn't let Chen Yang come with you, Huang Minghong, to negotiate."
"So, what was the share you guys agreed on privately?"
Hearing this, Huang Minghong remained calm and continued to play dumb. "What's the point of sharing the profits? I, Huang, am lucky enough to be able to follow Mr. Chen and get a piece of the pie. How dare I discuss profits with Mr. Chen? He has the Longmen Ling family behind him."
"Why, Cao Kun, are you very dissatisfied with Mr. Chen taking over the Hong family's assets?"
From the first moment he arrived here today, every time Huang Minghong talked about Chen Yang, he would mention the Ling family.
Repeated reminders, repeated knocks.
Cao Kun on the opposite side was obviously feeling very uncomfortable.
He prepared a lot today, but he never expected that Chen Yang would show up unexpectedly.
Huang Minghong not only took advantage of Chen Yang, but also took advantage of the Hong family in front of him. The key is that Cao Kun dared not say anything!
If he overturned the table now and hurt Chen Yang, and Ling Wei tracked him down, what would his Cao family do?
Cao Kun’s mind raced, and he endured it for a while.
Huang Minghong was holding a glass of wine opposite him, looking at him slowly.
"What do you think, Cao Kun? Highway 302 is now entirely owned by Mr. Chen. Do you have any objections?"
Cao Kun squeezed the wine glass again and again. The two bodyguards behind him looked at his hands and moved slightly.
But in the end, he just put the cup down, with a bit of dejection in his tone.
"Huang, you are so cruel."
"I can't afford to offend Mr. Chen. I don't want a single cent of the highway shares."
Hearing this, Huang Minghong burst into laughter, picked up his wine glass very politely, and pretended to toast across the table.
"Mr. Cao is a smart man. I offer you a toast."
Cao Kun snorted coldly as if he had swallowed a fly, with a gloomy face, and was about to raise his glass.
But at this moment.
Bang.
A soft sound came from the middle of the table.
Chen Yang knocked the cup on the table and suddenly looked at Cao Kun.
"Boss Cao, if I choose to cooperate with you now, is it too late?"
