Chapter 81 Following Me, You're Not Qualified
South City, Chen Family.
Chen Jun sat on the sofa, looking at the stack of documents in front of him, his brows furrowed in worry.
The document contained several eye-catching words: Letter of Intent to Acquire.
This is an acquisition plan for the Chen family's company, which comes from Jiahua Company, controlled by the Xiao family.
"President Chen, there are so many unfair terms on this document. It's clearly an attempt to force a takeover. If we sign it, the losses to our company will be immeasurable!" the secretary standing next to him said angrily.
"Of course I don't want to sign," Chen Jun said helplessly.
Xiao Yiyi, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, wants to acquire them at a very low price. Who would be willing to do that?
"The Xiao family is too powerful. I don't know where they get so much money. Recently, they have been frantically acquiring many companies and businesses in Nancheng. Anyone who dares to resist will be severely punished and end up in a miserable state..." Chen Jun said with a sullen face.
"Xiao Yiyi has used various means to make our company's operation difficult. This time, she even said that if we don't sign the contract, she will bankrupt us completely within a week!"
Chen Jun was very distressed.
He was utterly powerless in the face of Jia Hua's offensive.
Now we are faced with two paths: either swallow our pride and be acquired at a low price, or go bankrupt and lose everything...
"Dad, look who I've invited!" Chen Shuyi's voice suddenly rang out from outside.
Chen Jun glanced at it with little interest, then immediately perked up.
A young man followed behind Yang Ming and Chen Shuyi.
"This... must be Mr. Xiao Chen?" Chen Jun immediately stood up, rushed over to shake hands with Xiao Chen, and looked extremely respectful.
The secretary was quite surprised.
Even when facing the Xiao family, President Chen never behaved like this.
Who is this young man?
"Mr. Xiao, your presence is an honor to my humble abode! Please...please have a seat!" Chen Jun said with a beaming smile.
Chen Shuyi and Yang Ming looked on in astonishment.
But thinking about it, it's acceptable.
Xiao Chen's mysterious background commands respect from anyone in Nancheng who knows the truth.
"Go and brew Mr. Xiao a pot of the best tea right away!" Chen Jun instructed his secretary.
"Mr. Chen, is there something you need to see me about?" Xiao Chen asked with a faint smile.
"If it weren't for Mr. Xiao's rescue, Shuyi would have met with misfortune long ago. I must thank you in person for your kindness!" Chen Jun said sincerely.
"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning," Xiao Chen said noncommittally.
Chen Jun insisted on expressing his gratitude formally.
Then, he asked Chen Shuyi to personally serve Xiao Chen a cup of tea as a way of expressing his gratitude.
"Although the Chen family's capabilities are limited, if Mr. Xiao ever needs anything in the future, just say the word, and the Chen family will do everything in its power!" Chen Jun promised.
Then, he began to prepare a banquet to entertain Xiao Chen.
"I don't like beating around the bush. If there's anything, just say it directly," Xiao Chen said, waving his hand.
Chen Jun paused for a moment, his expression turning serious.
“My Chen family…is willing to follow Mr. Xiao!” he said emphatically.
Xiao Chen gave him a meaningful look but didn't say anything.
"Right now, the Xiao family is aggressively acquiring commercial power in the southern part of the city, showing a strong tendency to dominate the city. They are using any means necessary, which is outrageous!" Chen Jun said indignantly.
“Our Chen family is weak and powerless, unable to fight against the Xiao family. The eldest daughter of the Xiao family has issued an ultimatum: if we do not agree to the low-price acquisition, we will be bankrupted!”
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. My Chen family is willing to follow Mr. Xiao and fight against the Xiao family together!"
After Chen Jun finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Xiao Chen.
"Brother Xiao Chen, my dad is a man of his word. Please help us, okay?" Chen Shuyi pleaded pitifully.
“Mr. Xiao, the Chen family has considerable influence in Nancheng. If you agree, it will be a great help to you. This is a win-win situation!” Yang Ming advised.
Xiao Chen shook his head upon hearing this.
"I think you've misunderstood something. There has never been the word 'confrontation' between me and the Xiao family," he said calmly.
The three looked at each other, not understanding his meaning, and thought he didn't want to fall out with the Xiao family.
"Furthermore, not just anyone is qualified to follow me," Xiao Chen added.
Chen Jun was stunned, Chen Shuyi lowered her head, and Yang Ming showed resentment.
"Young friend Xiao Chen, I know you have a powerful background, but such words seem rather arrogant. The Chen family is, after all, a prominent family in Nancheng..."
Xiao Chen remained expressionless and did not intend to explain.
The King of the Underworld is so revered that following him is tantamount to joining the Underworld.
However, the Underworld Palace is not so easy to enter; it doesn't accept just anyone. The Chen family, for example, is indeed not qualified.
"Yang Ming, stop talking," Chen Jun interrupted, not angry.
“I believe Mr. Xiao is telling the truth and did not mean to belittle us. I was indeed being presumptuous.”
Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"I'll leave the matter of following you aside for now. It's not that I can't help you, but you must obey my orders in everything you do. If you disobey, you'd better watch out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jun and Chen Shuyi's faces lit up with joy.
"Rest assured, Mr. Xiao, the Chen family will obey your orders without question!"
Xiao Chen nodded.
He wasn't simply helping the Chen family.
Since the Heavenly King Palace hasn't made any major moves, he'll add fuel to the fire.
Let's push the Xiao family to the brink and see if they can still stand idly by.
……
Jiahua Company, President's Office.
Xiao Yiyi sat in the swivel chair, quite pleased with herself.
Just now, two more small companies called, succumbing to the Xiao family's tyranny and willing to be acquired at a low price.
"The Xiao family's dominance is now a fact. With my personal planning, Xiao Yiyi, the entire southern city will be under the control of the Xiao family!" she said confidently.
Just then, the assistant knocked on the door and came in, placing a document on the table.
"Mr. Xiao, the letter of intent for acquisition sent to the Chen family has been returned."
One sentence instantly brought Xiao Yiyi back to reality.
"What?" She frowned deeply, her face turning cold.
So far, no company has ever dared to return the letter of intent to acquire the company.
"Does this Chen family intend to fight to the bitter end? How utterly foolish! It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely overestimating their own strength!" Xiao Yiyi said unhappily.
“We bribed Chen Jun’s secretary. According to her, the Chen family has sided with Xiao Chen and is prepared to fight Jia Hua to the end,” the assistant said.
"Huh? Join forces with Xiao Chen?" Xiao Yiyi seemed to have heard something extremely funny.
"Is the Chen family desperate? They actually turned to that Xiao Chen? What can he do to help? Does he even deserve to oppose the Xiao family?" Xiao Yiyi found it more and more ridiculous as she spoke, her face full of disdain.
"You're all in cahoots, banding together for warmth, huh? Very well, then I'll make them suffer a crushing defeat!" it sneered.
"Have Chen Jun's secretary keep a close eye on things. Report any movements immediately. I'm going to slowly torture them to death!"
