50: Chapter 50 A Delivered Meal
However, the person calling seemed unwilling to give up, and the phone rang again.
The result was the same; Chu Yuan cursed and chose to hang up.
Yet the other party was like a stubborn plaster, interrupting Chu Yuan's good time once again.
"Which idiot keeps interrupting this young master's important business?"
Picking up the phone, Chu Yuan couldn't help but switch into "shrewish cursing" mode.
On the other end of the line, having been subjected to Chu Yuan's verbal assault, Shen Congwu's face turned livid, his expression gloomy.
Consider him, Shen Congwu, the dignified head of the Shen Family. Throughout the capital, the mere mention of "Shen Congwu" commanded respect from everyone; even the heads of top-tier families had to give him some face.
Yet now, a mere wet-behind-the-ears brat like Chu Yuan dared to be so insolent—it was practically a slap in his own face.
"I am Shen Congwu, head of the capital's Shen Family. Are you Chu Yuan of the Shanghai Chu Family?"
For the sake of his son's important matter, Shen Congwu couldn't help but suppress his temper to speak with Chu Yuan.
"This young master is Chu Yuan. If you have something to say, say it, and don't get in the way of this young master's important business."
Another blunt, discourteous reply came through.
The Shen Family of the capital didn't have much of a reputation; Chu Yuan hadn't even heard of them.
Throughout all of Shanghai, there was no name more useful than his Chu Family, let alone for some outsider.
Shen Congwu did not realize his mistake and said in a deep voice, "There is a matter I need to discuss with you, Young Master Chu. I…"
While Shen Congwu was still slowly explaining his request, a busy signal came from the phone.
Clearly, Chu Yuan had no time to waste on him and simply chose to hang up.
"Dammit!"
"Damn brat, this is too bullying!"
Furious, Shen Congwu slammed his phone onto the ground in a rage.
An insult!
This was an insult to him, Shen Congwu, and to the entire Shen Family.
"Steward Mo, lead the family's experts immediately to Shanghai and resolve the matter for that rebellious son, Shen Wen."
"And as for that arrogant Chu Yuan, don't think that just because you're a member of the Chu Family, I wouldn't dare touch you."
"Find someone to strike in the shadows and break one of that brat's legs for me."
Shen Congwu was thoroughly enraged.
Having lived in luxury and been respected for so many years, never before had anyone dared to be insolent in his presence.
Especially when the other party was just a junior.
If he didn't teach Chu Yuan a lesson, where would Shen Congwu's face be saved?
Steward Mo, standing behind him, nodded in agreement.
Although the Chu Family was powerful, striking from the shadows to deal with a rich young master like Chu Yuan would not be a problem.
As for retaliation from the Chu Family, no matter how formidable they were, could they really reach their hands all the way to the capital?
...
"You… what are you planning to do?"
Zhao Qin asked, stuttering.
"What do you mean by that?"
"We've already done that; do you intend to shirk responsibility?"
Zhao Qin was the type of woman who was very timid and extremely traditional.
As for calling the police to have Chu Yuan arrested, she, being timid and cowardly by nature, had never even considered it.
"I know what you want to say. Rest assured, since you've become this young master's woman, this young master won't just eat and run."
"Follow this young master well from now on, and I will take good care of you."
...
The Zhou Family spent the entire night working on her, finally convincing Zhou Xiaodie.
Early in the morning, she dressed up carefully and arrived at the Tianlong Group, hoping to see Chu Yuan.
Unfortunately, after waiting bitterly for the whole morning, she didn't even catch a glimpse of Chu Yuan.
After merging the Tianlong Group with the Chu Corporation, Chu Yuan threw all the power of the entire group to Liu Yanran, acting as an absentee manager himself.
Chairman's office.
As soon as Chu Yuan entered, he saw a woman wearing light makeup and a professional suit waiting for him.
Who else could it be but Zhou Xiaodie?
Beside Zhou Xiaodie, the female secretary, Pan Yaqin, hurried to prepare tea upon seeing him arrive.
After more than half a month of adjustment, Pan Yaqin had long since adapted to her identity and position.
