Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 366 I’m sure you’ll regret it
Chapter 366: Chapter 366 I’m sure you’ll regret it
Tianyuan Commerce Chamber Headquarters Building.
Chen Fan rode in Liu Yunxi’s car to get here, and upon getting out of the car to see that towering skyscraper, he couldn’t help but remark, "Tianyuan Commerce Chamber is really impressive, such a huge building, you probably earn an astronomical amount of money in a day."
Liu Yunxi rolled her eyes and said, "The rent for this building alone is an astronomical figure each day, and moreover, the lease for the office buildings we rent all over the country is about to expire, so we’ll soon need to prepare the funds for renewal. That amount of money is definitely a number you wouldn’t even dare to think about. Otherwise, why would I have said that my father is also working for the King of Towers?"
Chen Fan smiled slightly, thinking to himself that the new King of Towers was standing right in front of her, and if she could help him solve his problem, he wouldn’t mind giving her family a break on the rent.
The two of them entered the building together and took the elevator to the Chairman’s office.
Liu Yunxi knocked on the door, then pushed it open and went inside.
Chen Fan followed and saw two people sitting on the sofa in the office, one of them a middle-aged man in a suit with a slightly tall and burly figure, who must be Liu Yunxi’s father, Liu Chong.
The person talking to Liu Chong was Mu Guangping.
Chen Fan was slightly taken aback upon seeing Mu Guangping, his expression soon turning grim.
Liu Chong glanced at Liu Yunxi and said, "Yunxi, I am in the middle of discussing something, you wait outside for a while."
Liu Yunxi, with a cold face, said, "My friend has something to discuss with you."
Liu Chong looked at Chen Fan, sized him up and said, "Friend? Lately, you’re becoming less and less reasonable, befriending all sorts of riffraff."
Liu Yunxi thought to herself not only did she want to be friends with him, but she also wanted to date him, it’s just that he wasn’t interested in her, which was really infuriating!
Mu Guangping laughed heartily, "Isn’t this Chen Fan? If I’m not mistaken, your visit today is to talk about the Mu Family’s affairs, right?"
Chen Fan ignored him and instead greeted Liu Chong with a gesture, saying, "Chairman Liu, you are surely well aware of the Mu Family’s situation. Mu Guangping covets the position of family head and has committed insubordination. The company he founded was established without the knowledge of the Mu Family, which is an unauthorized act. His company was able to take on so many projects because of the trust Mu Tianxiong placed in him. He is indeed a despicable person. Thus, I earnestly request Chairman Liu to return those projects which rightfully belong to the Mu Family and punish Mu Guangping, this vile person who stops at nothing for his own benefit."
Liu Chong looked at Chen Fan and said, "You just said Mu Guangping violated the rules, tell me, where did he violate them?"
Chen Fan immediately felt uneasy. He didn’t understand business dealings, and his earlier words were meant to remind Liu Chong that Mu Guangping was not a good person, "He relied on Mu Tianxiong’s trust to secretly start a company, and took on projects that should belong to the Mu Family. Doesn’t this count as a violation?"
Liu Chong said, "All procedures of Mu Guangping’s company are legal and compliant, and all projects went through the proper process. As for your claim that he achieved this relying on Mu Tianxiong’s trust, sorry, but we are in business, not in the business of filial piety. Even if he killed Mu Tianxiong, it wouldn’t matter to me."
Mu Guangping watched Chen Fan with a sneer, "Chen Fan, you’re wasting your effort. I’ve just promised Chairman Liu that as long as he signs on the documents I’ve submitted, three-tenths of my company’s profits will go to Tianyuan Commerce Chamber. My rigid old man would never agree to such a thing; moreover, he and Chairman Liu’s father are archenemies. The Mu Family is truly finished this time!"
Chen Fan clenched his teeth and stared at Liu Chong, saying, "Is there really no room for negotiation in this matter?"
Liu Chong said indifferently, "Absolutely impossible!"
Liu Yunxi, who was initially reluctant to speak for Chen Fan, because after all, he was doing a favor for her love rival, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy upon seeing Chen Fan’s helpless look. So she said, "Dad, I think what Chen Fan is saying makes a lot of sense. Even if there’s no issue procedurally, morally speaking, Mu Guangping really is too despicable. Collaborating with someone like that will ruin our reputation."
Liu Chong glared at her, "This does not concern you. From now on, you are forbidden from having any further contact with this guy; he is not worthy of being your friend!"
Liu Yunxi had a look of grievance on her face, but she was helpless. This was all she could do to help Chen Fan.
Chen Fan hadn’t expected Liu Chong to be so unreasonable. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Chairman Liu, are you sure you want to be so stubborn? If you insist on helping Mu Guangping, I’m sure you will regret it."
Liu Chong said with a cold face, "I am just doing what I think is right, not being headstrong. And... regret? Do you think you are qualified to say that to me?"
Mu Guangping scoffed, "Chen Fan, you are indeed not weak, but in the business world, you’re still too green. You might as well hurry back to the Mu Family and discuss what to do after bankruptcy."
Chen Fan’s gaze grew profound, and then he said calmly, "Fine, then please remember what you’re saying now. We’ll see."
Liu Chong glanced at Liu Yunxi, "Yunxi, see the guest out."
He didn’t even want to speak another word to Chen Fan.
Then he picked up the phone and called his secretary, "Bring me the accounts for the office buildings that the commerce chamber needs to renew next year."
Mu Guangping looked at Liu Chong with a smile, "Chairman Liu, is it time for your office buildings to renew their lease as well? Our company’s office building lease is almost up, too. You see, we look splendid on the surface, but when it comes to paying the rent, it really hurts. No wonder everyone envies the King of Towers."
The two of them completely ignored Chen Fan and started chatting.
Liu Yunxi walked over to Chen Fan, gently tapped him, and cautiously said, "Let’s... go."
Chen Fan nodded, turning to walk out of the office.
Once in the hallway outside, Liu Yunxi said with a touch of apology, "I’m sorry, I couldn’t be of any help. My father really favors boys over girls, and I have no say at home."
Chen Fan chuckled and said, "It’s okay, just bringing me to see your father was the biggest help you could have given me."
Liu Yunxi quickly added, "Let me make it clear, the reason I spoke up for you is entirely because of you as a person. In my heart, I am very unwilling to help the Mu Family, let alone help that woman you love."
Chen Fan gave a wry smile and said, "When I have the chance, I’ll introduce you to a boyfriend, guaranteed to your satisfaction."
Liu Yunxi glared at him, "Who needs you to introduce me to a boyfriend, crazy!"
Chen Fan didn’t stay any longer; since Liu Chong was being so unreasonable, there was no need for him to be polite anymore.
Indeed, he was somewhat inexperienced in the business world, but that didn’t mean he had no way to deal with Tianyuan Commerce Chamber and Mu Guangping.
Having overheard the conversation between Liu Chong and Mu Guangping about the lease renewals, he already knew how to make these two regret their actions.
Who made him so lucky to accidentally become the new King of Towers!
After leaving the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber building, Chen Fan took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the head of Zhong’s Investment that Zhong Xinyao had given him before.
