143: I want the Chen Group plus the Macau Golden Harvest Hotel

At the same time!

In the top-floor office of Tiangong Building in Modu.

Wei Jinhua looked at Wang Shaojun with a ghost-like expression. This guy really crashed Xinzheng Group's stock price. How rich must he be?

But then again, it was quite thrilling.

Just then, Yi Zhongtian came in from outside with his phone.

"Young Master, Zheng Yongnian's call."

Yi Zhongtian's words surprised Wang Shaojun; he hadn't expected the other party to get Yi Zhongtian's contact information so quickly.

He took the call, put it on speakerphone, and placed it on the desk in front of him, saying softly, "Patriarch Zheng, I am Wang Shaojun. What can I do for you?"

Wei Jinhua was secretly astonished by this. Zheng Yongnian calling at this moment—could he be trying to back down?

The thought was almost laughable. He had advised against touching Xinzheng Group earlier, and now he was getting slapped in the face.

Zheng Yongnian, on the other end of the phone, took a deep breath when he heard the name Wang Shaojun, calming his emotions before saying, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Wang Shaojun immediately laughed when he heard this. "Patriarch Zheng, that's not right. I should be asking you that. The attack I experienced abroad some time ago—you were behind it, weren't you?"

"Young Master Wang, you jest. I don't have that kind of ability."

Seeing that the other party wouldn't admit it, Wang Shaojun wasn't surprised, as he hadn't intended for them to admit it from the start.

"It's fine if you don't admit it. Let's get back to the main topic. Didn't you just ask what I want? Simple. I want all the shares of Chen Group that you hold, as well as the Jiahe Hotel in Macau. Finally, I want you to cooperate with my capital withdrawal. It's that simple."

Chen Group, of course, goes without saying. If not for the Zheng family stirring up trouble, it would have been his long ago. But now, it saved him a lot of effort.

As for Jiahe Hotel, while it couldn't compare to Heavenly Palace Hotel, it was more than sufficient. Since it was being offered, there was no reason to refuse.

Zheng Yongnian fell into a brief silence upon hearing these conditions, seemingly calculating the losses involved.

Wang Shaojun wasn't in a hurry. He had plenty of time.

After a brief three minutes, Zheng Yongnian's voice came through again, "Alright! I agree."

"Hahaha, Patriarch Zheng is generous. I'll have someone contact you shortly."

The call ended. Wei Jinhua, who had witnessed the entire process, now looked at Wang Shaojun with newfound respect.

This 'empty-handed white wolf' strategy was truly astonishing, though he also knew that to achieve such a feat, one needed substantial capital.

Clearly, Wang Shaojun had ample capital!

Even the Zheng family had to yield. Although he didn't know exactly what had transpired, it shouldn't have been so easy, as the Zheng family's current scale implied they weren't simple. But the process wasn't important; the outcome was.

The outcome was clear: Wang Shaojun had won.

It seemed his previous decision was correct. Although 0.5% of the shares were a bit small, the future was promising!

Thinking this, his mood became even more pleasant.

"Young Master Wang, the matter is concluded, so I'll be heading back. If you need any help in the future, just have someone contact me."

Wang Shaojun nodded with a smile. "Then I won't be polite in the future. Butler Wei, please see President Wei out."

After they left, Wang Shaojun finally got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the distant skyscrapers. From here, the Bund's scenery was unobstructed.

A moment later, he turned to Yi Zhongtian behind him and said, "The cleanup work is up to you. Besides what's circulating in the stock market, quickly recover the shares of Chen Group held by other shareholders, then merge it into Heavenly Palace Group. Let it stay on the stock market; no need to delist it."

Being a subsidiary group isn't bad either.

"Understood, Young Master!"

Seeing this, Wang Shaojun waved his hand and said, "Alright, go get busy!"

He stayed in the office for a long time. After Butler Wei returned, he finally left with him.

But they didn't leave Tiangong Building; instead, they went to Heavenly Palace Media.

Yu Weijie, who was as busy as a top, saw his arrival and quickly greeted him, "Brother Jun, why are you here?"

Wang Shaojun teased, "What? I can't come?"

Yu Weijie rubbed his head and laughed awkwardly, "Heh heh, I didn't mean that."

"Alright, I know what you mean. By the way, you're a rich second-generation heir, why are you working here? Did Xiao Yi drag you here to be a laborer?"

Just as the two were chatting animatedly, a sudden gasp rang out.

"Ah!"

Ye Lingxue was passing by with a cup of boiling water when she suddenly twisted her ankle, and her body uncontrollably fell towards the ground.

Butler Wei, who was with Wang Shaojun, was about to catch her, but in the next second, he seemed to remember something and dismissed the thought of taking action.

Wang Shaojun, on the other hand, quickly reached out and supported her.

The next second, hiss~

The cup of boiling water, by an unfortunate coincidence, poured onto his chest, making him gasp in pain.

Suppressing the pain, he looked down at Ye Lingxue and said softly, "Are you alright?"

"N-no... I'm fine. I'm sorry, I... I..."

Seeing her so flustered she couldn't speak, Wang Shaojun couldn't help but raise his hand and tap her nose.

Such an intimate gesture left Ye Lingxue a bit flustered.

If it had been any other man, she would probably have instinctively subdued him.

"It's good that you're fine. Be careful next time."

"Oh, oh, oh, okay."

With that, she quickly pulled away from Wang Shaojun.

Pointing to Wang Shaojun's chest, she said apologetically, "Um, I'm sorry, it seems I scalded you."

Hearing this, he looked down at his chest and laughed, "The jacket is thick, it's fine. I'll just go back and change clothes. Butler Wei, let's go back."

Saying this, he quickly walked towards the elevator. Yu Weijie, who hadn't been able to get a word in, looked on, wanting to speak but holding back.

He was a bit puzzled. Why could Wang Shaojun touch Ye Lingxue, but whenever he got too close to her, she would distance herself?

Could there really be such a thing as destiny in this world?

Looking at Wang Shaojun's hurried departing back, Ye Lingxue felt a pang of self-reproach. She had actually suspected earlier that he was intentionally getting close to her, with ill intentions.

On the other side, seeing that only he and Butler Wei were in the elevator, he quickly took off his suit jacket and lifted his shirt.

Goodness, a large area of his chest was red.

Just then, Butler Wei suddenly spoke, "Young Master, are you alright?"

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun retorted, "What do you think?"

But then he realized something was off and looked up to see Butler Wei's suppressed smile, instantly understanding that the other party was teasing him.

"Butler Wei, since when did you learn to tease me? I thought you were a robot."

"Young Master, you jest. I am a normal person!"

"Alright, let's hurry back and put something on it."

Although he was scalded, it wasn't without its rewards. At least Ye Lingxue's favorability seemed to have increased a bit.

And the increase in favorability wasn't for nothing; she didn't seem to reject him.
