255: Chapter 255 Another battle of financial resources?

Xing Huiqiong did not believe a single word of what Huo Shaoqi said.

The financial power that Zhao Xiaoshuai had demonstrated so far already far exceeded that of their entire Xing Family.

After all, one was just a company with a market value of over 10 billion, while the other was someone who could genuinely pull out nearly 10 billion in cash.

Although Zhao Xiaoshuai had only mentioned these billions in verbal promises, his attitude toward spending money and his personal character made Xing Huiqiong firmly believe that he truly possessed it.

Xing Huiqiong was about to speak up and chase away this uninvited guest, but Zhao Xiaoshuai spoke first.

"It seems the lesson I gave you last time wasn't enough. Some people just love to offer their faces to be stepped on by my feet; if I don't give them a stomp, they seem to feel uncomfortable all over."

"Hmph, all talk. Last time, I, this young master, suffered a bit because of your surprise attack. You don't actually think you have the strength to compete with me in financial power, do you?"

Ever since he had verified that the other party didn't have any major background, Huo Shaoqi's confidence had grown.

How much unexpected wealth could he really have? Even if he won ten lottery tickets, so what?

"Financial power? Based on that Lamborghini Aventador of yours, or the pocket money your father gives you?"

Huo Shaoqi got angry the moment the previous incident was mentioned.

"You caught me off guard last time and took advantage, but you don't think I, this young master, only have one Lamborghini, do you?"

As he spoke, he made a few phone calls.

"Your location here is quite good; you should be able to see your 918 perfectly. My beloved cars have already surrounded you now."

Zhao Xiaoshuai looked out the window as suggested, and saw that his car was surrounded by three luxury vehicles.

One was the Lamborghini Aventador from before, one was a Ferrari Purosangue, and the other was a McLaren 720S.

Since becoming rich, Zhao Xiaoshuai had often inspected various luxury cars, and with his now greatly enhanced memory, he still had some impression of these.

He smiled slightly, picked up his phone, and sent a message to two drivers.

"Sports cars are basically impractical to drive in the country, so I just bought one as a toy to drive around. But I do have a few other cars."

Huo Shaoqi poured himself a cup of black tea with ease. "I've checked. You also have a maybach, and there's a hongqi guoya under your company's name, right? It's a pity that even adding those two together doesn't seem like much."

Zhao Xiaoshuai smiled. "You know nothing about my strength."

Huo Shaoqi snorted softly and continued to lobby Xing Huiqiong. "Huiqiong, the building is about to collapse; you need to consider yourself more."

"Your father is heartless toward you. It was clearly his own rashness that caused this mess, and when he couldn't cover it up anymore, he pushed you out to take the blame and removed you from your position as president. I feel it's so unjust for you!"

Although this man was somewhat annoying, his cars would take a while to arrive, and he could use this opportunity to fill in some details about Hengtian that he didn't know, so he allowed Huo Shaoqi to continue speaking.

Xing Huiqiong said with a cold face, "My family affairs are not for an outsider like you to interfere with."

"Oh, Huiqiong, we are going to become family sooner or later, why be so distant?"

"I've investigated clearly. You were never favored by your father since you were young. You are so outstanding and have created one legend after another for Hengtian, but what's the result?"

"The company's management has always been controlled by your father's cronies in key positions, hindering you at every turn. Your father's intention is just to pass the enterprise to your younger brother, don't you see that?"

How could Xing Huiqiong not know what Huo Shaoqi was saying? But for all these years, what she had been trying to prove was never about fighting for the position of the so-called family heir.

She simply wanted to gain her father's recognition.

But she had worked hard for nearly twenty years, and she hadn't received even a single acknowledgment from her father.

Even her father's trust in her wasn't as great as his trust in some of the old subordinates who had fought alongside him for years, and it was precisely these so-called sworn brothers who leaked the information this time. Now, those left in the company were all wolves looking to tear off a piece of meat.

The others had long since secretly defected to the big capital, the Huo Family.

"My affairs don't need you to worry. I will never marry you in this lifetime, so just give up that idea."

"If you won't marry me, who do you want to marry? This upstart? Hahaha."

Just then, Zhao Xiaoshuai received a reply and said with a faint smile, "My cars have arrived. Your little toys don't seem to be enough to look at."

Hearing Zhao Xiaoshuai's voice, Huo Shaoqi frowned, got up, and walked to the window to look.

He saw that in the spot where the four luxury cars had been, there were now two more cars.

A Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and a car he hadn't really seen before. He awkwardly glanced at the assistant beside him.

"Young Master, that car should be a Hongqi Guoli. The top trim costs tens of millions, but the value of this car lies in the fact that even with money, it's not easy to buy."

Huo Shaoqi's heart skipped a beat. How could an upstart spend money so recklessly?

In this way, his three cars were completely crushed. Even the worst car of theirs, the Cullinan, wouldn't be much worse than his Aventador, but the other two were even more fierce.

Not to mention the mysterious aura surrounding the Hongqi Guoli; this car was indeed not something an average person could drive.

"I have a few more cars, it's just that transportation is troublesome, so I didn't bring them over!"

Although things had reached this point, he still refused to admit defeat in terms of face.

"I was just playing along with you. If you can't afford to lose, then forget it. After all, which of these cars did you buy with your own strength? Showing off with toys your daddy bought for you—I think you haven't been weaned yet, have you?"

Huo Shaoqi's face turned the color of pig liver, but he couldn't lash out, because the other party had humiliated him with real money.

In the field he considered his strongest.

Zhao Xiaoshuai continued to output: "I just casually talked about a few deals with Huiqiong, and they are already worth 330 million in total."

"Why don't you take out all your pocket money and New Year's money and see how much you can scrape together in total."

The words questioning whether Zhao Xiaoshuai had the strength to compete with him in financial power were still ringing in his ears. Now, not only was he slapped in the face instantly, but it also hurt quite a lot.

Even with his status as the eldest young master of the Huo Family, it was impossible to bypass his father and mobilize 300 million in funds.

He had to have a reasonable excuse, apply to the family office, and get his father's approval before he could possibly get that much money.

This seemed to confirm the other party's mocking description of "pocket money" and "New Year's money," making him feel like he was still just a child.

A scene of a king's return turned into a double embarrassment.

"A-Wei, teach him a lesson for me. If you hurt him, I'll take responsibility."

In a fit of rage, Huo Shaoqi stopped caring about his demeanor.

He decided to get revenge first.

The bodyguard named A-Wei was a very sturdy man, with bulging muscles all over his body.

A-Wei clenched his fists and attacked, but the next moment, A-Wei went flying through the air.

Given A-Wei's physique, he was conservatively estimated to weigh nearly 200 jin, but such a big man was sent flying through the air after being kicked nonchalantly by that person who had just stood up.

Huo Shaoqi had always thought this was just a special effect in movies. Seeing it in reality, the impact was still very strong. 'Is this even human?'

"Crawl out, or I will break your legs and have you carried out. Don't worry, I have a way to ensure the final ruling will definitely be self-defense."

Huo Shaoqi felt as if he were being stared at by a wild beast, which made fear seep from the bottom of his heart.
