My Ares Son-in-Law
Chapter 5975 Worshiping the Wrong God
The day of the Prison Clan's revival is getting closer.
This sense of urgency made Xiao Chen feel a little anxious, but he also understood that anxiety could not solve the problem, only action could bring about change.
He raised his head and looked at the starry night sky outside the window, feeling powerless. His power was limited after all. Even if he was powerful, he could not fight against the entire Prison Clan alone.
At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting his thoughts. He glanced at the screen and found that the number was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it belonged to.
But he still answered the call. After all, in this world of complex information, every call may contain unexpected clues or opportunities.
He has many contacts, all kinds of people, covering all fields, and those names and faces are interwoven into a huge network in his mind. He can't remember them all, but among them, there may be key figures who hold key intelligence about the Prison Clan.
"Who?" Xiao Chen's voice was a little wary, yet still polite and distant.
"Xiao Chen, I'm Mr. Wang from the company. What are you busy with?" The voice from the other end of the phone sounded kind and enthusiastic, as if there was no rift between the two of them.
Wang Xiong? This name flashed through Xiao Chen's mind. He was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart. This Wang Xiong, he didn't have much interaction with him on weekdays, let alone any deep friendship. At this time, he suddenly called, and Xiao Chen's first reaction was to be alert.
Could it be that he knew that Wang Hao's death was related to him? This thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly denied this guess. After all, with Wang Xiong's character, if he really had such information, he would never call so casually.
He replied casually, with a barely perceptible coldness in his voice: "I'm busy with work. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiong did not seem to notice the subtle change in Xiao Chen's tone, and still said politely:
"Will you come over later? I'd like to ask for your help with something." His tone was full of sincerity and expectation, without any sign of hatred or hostility.
This surprised Xiao Chen. He had originally thought that given the relationship between the two, even if Wang Xiong wanted to ask for something, he would choose a more obscure or formal way.
Xiao Chen wondered in his heart, could it be that this guy really needs his help with something?
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen's mind gradually became clear that it could only be about Huang Yuandong.
He couldn't help but shook his head, muttering to himself:
Huang Yuandong actually asked Wang Xiong to be his lobbyist. This was really stupid. Didn't he know that there was always some subtle opposition between him and Wang Xiong? At this time, asking Wang Xiong to be his lobbyist would only add fuel to the fire.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, his eyes flashing with insight. He spoke slowly, with a hint of teasing in his voice: "Did Huang Yuandong ask you to come to me?"
When Wang Xiong heard this, his heart trembled violently. He didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so sharp and guess the reason at once.
For a moment, he felt extremely embarrassed, as if Xiao Chen had seen through everything. He recalled his previous attitude towards Xiao Chen, and then looked at the present. The contrast between before and after was so obvious that it could not be ignored.
Wang Xiong's face flushed with shame and embarrassment. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Xiao Chen's eyes, feeling annoyed.
He knew that his previous actions were indeed inappropriate, but now he had to ask for help and bow his head. This contradiction and struggle made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making him breathless.
But there is no way, he is the master of the martial arts world, the martial arts king Huang Yuandong!
Even a figure like Shadow King was respectful and polite to this person, so he, a small character, did not dare to offend him. He even often fantasized about having a chance to curry favor with this big guy.
If he was lucky enough to gain Huang Yuandong's favor and become his right-hand man, then wouldn't it be easy for him to take over the Lin Group?
At this moment, he was deliberately using all kinds of insidious and cunning means to try to snatch the precious shares from Lin Youya.
However, if there is a big shot like Huang Yuandong as a backer, then these dirty tricks and sinister schemes would be completely unnecessary.
As long as Huang Yuandong is willing to lend a helping hand and help him a little, Lin Youya, and even Lin Youya's grandfather, Lin Yue, the founder of the Lin Group, will obediently hand over their shares without any resistance.
For him, that would be like rising directly to the top in one step. From then on, he would be able to call the shots in the business world and be omnipotent.
Therefore, even though there have always been considerable conflicts between him and Xiao Chen and their relationship is not harmonious, he wants to grasp this opportunity firmly and not let it slip through his fingers.
He could never tolerate a weak woman like Lin Youya getting such a good opportunity, otherwise, he might fall into an irretrievable situation, be plagued by troubles and never have peace.
Wang Xiong deliberately put on the majestic posture of a superior, and his tone was unquestionably tough, as if he was issuing an order that could not be disobeyed:
"Yes, Huang Yuandong is visiting us right now, come here quickly. This is a great opportunity to bring honor to the company, you must not miss it.
As long as you do this job well, I will not only let you sit on the throne of sales manager, but also promise to give you a million-dollar annual salary and make your future bright. "
Huang Yuandong actually came to the Wang family in person? Xiao Chen couldn't help but think to himself, it seems that his previous guess was right, this old guy finally couldn't sit still anymore.
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Chen's lips, and a playful light flashed in his eyes.
As for Huang Yuandong, in fact, as long as he came in person, apologized sincerely and bowed his head, Xiao Chen was not the kind of heartless person who would watch the innocent patient suffer.
However, this old guy is so self-righteous that he thinks that by finding Wang Xiong, the so-called "boss", to put pressure on him, he will surrender and obey?
This idea is so naive and ridiculous.
Xiao Chen is not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others. He will not easily compromise because of threats or inducements from others.
Huang Yuandong was simply praying in the wrong temple and with the wrong person. He thought that he could make Xiao Chen surrender by relying on Wang Xiong's thin face, but he didn't know that Xiao Chen had already made up his mind and would never surrender easily. (End of this chapter)
