NOVEL NEXT Chapter 183 We Are Family Now!
After hearing Xu Changjian's plan.
Hang Chengzhi furrowed his brows, saying, "Is there no other way besides coercion? Is she really that devoted to that guy?"
"Mr. Hang, it's not about devotion, she doesn't think highly of that loser. It's mainly because she's soft-hearted and wants to repay the favor of 'Chongxi', whether we coerce her or not, once we have her, affection can gradually be cultivated."
Xu Changjian explained.
Upon hearing this, Hang Chengzhi's lips curled into a sinister smile, saying, "Actually, I personally prefer coercion; it makes things more interesting, hehe..."
Xu Changjian breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he said, "Then it's settled, we'll be family from now on."
"Hold on."
Hang Chengzhi pointed at the wound on his face, saying, "What about this debt then?"
"…"
Everyone glanced at each other upon hearing this.
Unexpectedly, this wasn't enough for him, they decided to settle with money.
Hang Chengzhi smirked and said, "Then give me Shuimu Company!"
"What?!"
Grandma and Xu Changjian were shocked.
His appetite was too big!
Shuimu Company might have been small previously, but ever since it collaborated with Haohan Company, anyone could see its potential. Recently, it increased various investments; though it has not yet profited, given its potential, its market value could increase tenfold in a year!
That is, it might be worth only tens of millions now, but soon it could be worth hundreds of millions!
That's a huge profit.
Grandma had only just managed to get those shares back.
"This won't do, Mr. Hang, you know, Shuimu Company is now the lifeline of our Xu family, you're basically asking for our lives…"
Xu Changjian said with a pained expression.
"How so."
Hang Chengzhi said coldly, "What you mean is, you don't plan to compensate? The person who hit me was arranged by Xu Yunxiao's husband, Qin Feng. He is from your Xu family, shouldn't this debt be paid by you?"
"But…"
"Do you know why I could take the position of General Manager of Lake City?" Hang Chengzhi sneered proudly, "That's because the Group's Chairman is my godmother. I'm just here to train for two years, and after that, I'd directly enter the high-level management of the Group. If my godmother finds out that the Xu family did this to my face, what do you think she'll do…"
Hearing this, Xu Changjian and the others involuntarily shuddered.
They had done their research on Hengyuan Fourth Construction before talking about collaboration with Hang Chengzhi.
Their chairman is a ruthless sixty-year-old woman.
Many competitors.
She had defeated using unfair means, and those who were defeated ended up miserably, either losing everything or their families torn apart.
There was a company valued over a billion.
Suddenly announced bankruptcy during competition with them, and their CEO mysteriously committed suicide.
But they were unharmed.
That's why they easily clinched the deal with Er Long Group's Feng Guoqiang, and the new building project at Water Cloud Gorge as soon as they came to Lake City.
"On the other hand."
Hang Chengzhi continued, "Isn't your plan to use Shuimu Company as a threat to force her to marry me after retrieving her shares? If I am not on your side, guess what Haohan Company would do to you?"
"This…"
Xu Changjian and others exchanged looks.
They thought of having the backing of the Hengyuan Group, which is why they dared to coerce Xu Yunxiao without fearing Haohan Company.
But now, if Hang Chengzhi does not cooperate, they wouldn't dare to proceed.
The shares would revert back to Xu Yunxiao.
"Since it's all about forcing her to marry me, I think Shuimu Company would be more obedient in my hands, right?" Hang Chengzhi said with a smile, "By then if Haohan Company tries to meddle, they wouldn't trouble you, and you wouldn't need to fear their crazy retaliation."
"..."
That's true, but the Xu family is now relying on Shuimu Company, they really can't give it up!
Hang Chengzhi understood this too, and continued, "Don't worry, just give Shuimu Company to me, and I'll make sure all the project materials handled by me are supplied solely by your Xu family, becoming our exclusive supplier!"
"Really, really?!"
Xu Changjian and the others widened their eyes in surprise.
Hang Chengzhi had too many projects on his hands, just the Water Cloud Gorge project alone would let the Xu family's annual turnover exceed last year's by several times!
If they supplied all the materials themselves.
Setting aside the massive profits, the Xu family would also become a major partner of Hengyuan Fourth Construction.
The benefits brought by that were incomparable to Shuimu Company.
"Of course, all projects in Lake City under our company are handled by me, so why not use your family's goods?"
Hang Chengzhi shrugged as he spoke.
After speaking.
Everyone turned their gaze towards grandma.
At this moment, excitement flickered in grandma's eyes.
She wanted to drink some tea to calm her nerves.
But her hand holding the tea cup trembled uncontrollably due to excitement.
Even though the Xu family had suddenly become the second-tier family in Lake City these days, everyone in the circle knew it was all due to Xu Yunxiao's contributions, with nothing to do with the Xu family.
If.
They could rise by collaborating with the Hengyuan Group, people would then direct their admiration towards themselves.
Instead of bringing up Xu Yunxiao whenever the Xu family is mentioned.
Grandma sipped her tea, set down the trembling cup, took a deep breath, and smiled at Hang Chengzhi, "From now on, we are family."
Xu Changjian excitedly waved his fist.
The material company was under his charge, and he could finally replace Xu Yunxiao's position in the Xu family.
...
At night.
After work, the two families headed to Wanfu Building together.
There was only one car.
It might be a tight fit, but it could barely accommodate six people.
So, in the end, they only asked Qin Feng to stay behind, telling him to ride an electric bike to Wanfu Building on his own.
In the words of Aunt Li Limei, people from the countryside like Qin Feng didn't deserve to ride in such a high-level car.
"I say, Yunxiao, you should consider changing men, although a second marriage might somewhat impact finding a good one, surely no one can compare to Yanyan's boyfriend. But anyone is better than that Qin Feng."
Li Limei curled her lips and said, "Speaking of boyfriends, Yanyan has found a very good one, young and already promoted to the position of design director at the company, very promising. Oh right, speaking of Yanyan's boyfriend, invite him too! Since we're all family now, let's get acquainted first."
"..."
Having said that, Li Cuilan, albeit reluctant, could only nod.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Yanyan immediately called her boyfriend, saying, "Dear, come dine at Wanfu Building! My parents are here, at Wanfu Building, treating you to a grand meal, my parents are nice to you..."
"..."
Li Cuilan and others felt depressed, as if it sounded like the treat was on their family.
