Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Tattling
Staring at the young man’s photo on the contract, Wang Shoufu couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
’Mr. Fang... judging by this photo, he must be about the sa age as my son. I never would have guessed... I never imagined that the mysterious major shareholder who owns ten percent of my Baida Group would be so young. Truly an accomplished young man!’
Just as he was muttering to himself, his phone on the desk suddenly chid. He tapped the screen open and saw it was a ssage from the bodyguard he had assigned to his son.
But when he saw the content of the ssage, he was stunned.
’What’s going on? My son isn’t this impulsive. Huh? Why does this person look so familiar? This is... Mr. Fang?!’
Mumbling in confusion, he looked at the photo the bodyguard had sent. His eyes automatically skipped over his son and locked onto the young man standing before him, the one in a casual suit holding a woven bag.
He glanced at the young man in the picture, then back at the photo of the mysterious shareholder still displayed on his computer screen.
The two images began to rge in his mind. The more he looked, the more they seed like the sa person, even though the photo from the bodyguard was a bit blurry and the angle wasn’t great.
To confirm his suspicion, Wang Shoufu didn’t ask about his son. Instead, he sent a direct ssage to the bodyguard, telling him to take a close-up photo of the young man with the woven bag.
A mont later, a new photo, several tis clearer than the last, arrived on Wang Shoufu’s phone. Before, he was eighty percent sure. Now, after comparing them, Wang Shoufu was one hundred percent certain: this was his company’s mysterious major shareholder.
But when his eyes fell on the money scattered all over the floor and the two figures facing off in the photo, Wang Shoufu was completely baffled. ’What the hell? The person my son is fighting with... is this mysterious shareholder?’
He picked up his phone and quickly asked the bodyguard for the details. In less than half a minute, he had the full story.
After learning what had happened, Wang Shoufu didn’t dare to delay. He quickly found his son’s number and called him.
As the call connected, he muttered bitterly to himself.
’That damn kid... he’s usually so smart. How could he be so stupid today? Doing this to an ordinary person would be one thing, but how did he, of all people, manage to pick a fight with our group’s mysterious shareholder, whose identity we just uncovered?’
Forget everything else. Just the fact that he bought ten percent of Baida Group’s shares with a massive, one-ti paynt during the company’s peak... that alone ant he had to be incredibly wealthy.
What’s more, after this mysterious tycoon beca the group’s third-largest shareholder, he had never once attended a board eting.
Not only that, but even he, the chairman, didn’t know the man’s na. Only now had the first piece of this mysterious shareholder’s identity—the tip of the iceberg—been revealed.
While Wang Shoufu was worrying, Principal Wang was staring arrogantly at Fang Chenyi. ’Are you kidding ? You want to compete with
in wealth? You’ve got a long way to go.’
Beside him, the young man Fang Chenyi had kicked over earlier had already scrambled back to his feet. He rushed to Principal Wang’s side, grabbing his arm and trying to talk him down.
"Principal Wang, don’t! Don’t be rash! It’s just a dog! He’s not worth getting worked up over, really!"
’This was no joke!’ he thought. ’Our fathers are all part of this mall’s managent. If Principal Wang really trades the mall for a dog... just based on the fact that I smashed that guy’s car, not only will my life be hell, but my dad will probably get dragged into it too!’
"Fuck, you think you’re so great because your family has a little money? Let
tell you, I’ve got plenty of money too. And another thing—you think I give a damn about your stupid mall? I’m telling you now, na your price. I’m buying that dog!"
Hearing the other man refuse, Principal Wang actually breathed a small sigh of relief. He had regretted offering to trade Baida for the dog the mont he said it, but with so many people watching, he couldn’t take it back.
Now, seeing the man’s defiant attitude, Principal Wang sneered. "You talk a big ga. I’m really curious—where does a pathetic scrap collector like you get the nerve to compete with
over money?"
"Heh," Fang Chenyi laughed. "To be honest, with the money I make from collecting scraps, I could buy more than just this one Baida Mall. I could buy all of your family’s assets. Would you believe that? Oh, right. I heard your dad has been losing money lately. How much was it? Twenty billion? Thirty billion? Why don’t I do you a favor, buy out your family’s company, and help you pay off your debts?"
Of course, Fang Chenyi’s words were incredibly domineering, but he was just bluffing. While his "scrap collecting" was indeed profitable, pulling out tens of billions on short notice was still impossible. Then again, if he had a year or two, it wouldn’t be that difficult.
"PFFT. Hahaha! I love how this guy can bullshit with such a straight face!"
"Buy the entire Baida Group by collecting scraps? Holy shit, if that’s true, I’m gonna sell my company and start collecting scraps too!"
As soon as Fang Chenyi spoke, the entire crowd erupted in laughter. It seed he had taken his bluffing a little too far.
RING RING RING...
But just then, as Principal Wang was struggling to get a read on the man before him, his phone started to ring.
He frowned, pulled it out, and saw it was his father.
He took a few steps to the side before answering.
"Hey, Dad, what’s up? I’m in the middle of sothing."
After Principal Wang spoke, Wang Shoufu’s voice ca through the phone.
"Oh? ’In the middle of sothing,’ are you? I hear you t soone recently. That you got into a fight with him. And that you want to buy his dog."
Hearing this, Principal Wang rolled his eyes in frustration and shot an angry glare at the bodyguard in the crowd. ’He must have snitched,’ he thought.
But since his father already knew, there was no point in hiding it. However, before he could explain what happened, Wang Shoufu spoke again.
"Heh... Son, do you have any idea who that man is?"
Principal Wang froze. "Who? You know him?"
"Know him? Heh... Son, do you rember when ten percent of our group’s shares were bought out by a mysterious individual?"
"What?! Dad, are you saying he’s *that* person?"
