Chapter 1418: Chapter 1419: There’s No Sincerity in the Apology at All!

The door to the office was suddenly pushed open.

Xiao Chen supported Shang Luoying, with Shang Qingcheng following beside, as they walked into the office.

“What are you doing here?”

Mr. Xiao frowned and asked.

He was an in-law of the Shang Clan, and the current clan leader’s cousin.

Xiao Renyi was quite proud of this, and even looked down on the branches of the Shang Clan.

“Xiao Renyi, don’t go too far! Dashang Group was built entirely by the Shang Family in Tonghua City!

We won’t let you do as you please!”

Shang Luoying was furious.

She had previously been forced to transfer her shares to Xiao Renyi for the sake of the Shang Family’s future in Tonghua City, but there was an agreement: Xiao Renyi would only take dividends and would not interfere in the operations of Dashang Group.

Yet Xiao Renyi broke his word.

“Heh, so what if you founded it? Don’t forget, you’re nothing now, not even holding a single share!”

Xiao Renyi sneered coldly. “You should take notes from your daughter Shang Qingyu—be obedient and work with us, rather than trust Shang Qingcheng! Supporting Shang Qingcheng!

Don’t you know the clan leader detests her?

The reason the Shang Family of Tonghua City is in this state today is all because of her!”

“Exactly, Mom. Now that the Shang Family has lost Dashang Group, it’s already completely degraded into a third-rate family. Years of efforts gone up in flames.

If you admit your mistake now and agree to cooperate with the clan leader while cutting ties with Shang Qingcheng, there’s still a chance for the family to recover.

Isn’t that right?”

Shang Qingyu sneered as well.

“Old woman, calling you ‘Grandmother’ in the past was me giving you face, but now you’re no better than me—you’re nothing but a poor beggar.

Let me tell you, when I succeed, you old hag, Shang Qingcheng, and that waste brat will all be finished.” Qu Sheng was even more blunt.

Xiao Chen glanced indifferently at Qu Sheng, suddenly stepping forward and lifting him from his seat.

Delivering two fierce slaps across his face, Xiao Chen spat out, “Watch your mouth, or I’ll kill you!”

“You dare hit my son!”

Shang Qingyu erupted with anger: “Who do you think you are to hit my son?! Get out! Get out now! Dashang Group has nothing to do with all of you anymore, so stop clinging here! Get out!”

“The ones who should leave are you!”

Xiao Chen glared coldly at Shang Qingyu and Qu Sheng.

“Hahaha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve heard.”

Xiao Renyi burst into laughter. “They are my people—why should they leave? But you lot, starting today, you’re all fired from Dashang Group!”

At that moment, Chen Simin pushed open the door and entered.

“Chairman, there’s also a woman named Liu Siyu who’s been absent for two days. Fire her as well.”

Chen Simin walked up to Xiao Renyi, flaunting her loyalty.

Her actions all along had been under orders from the Shang Clan.

Now that the Shang Clan had taken control of Dashang Group, she no longer needed to hide her true identity.

“Heh, Chen Simin, Manager Chen—is this your rebellion?”

Xiao Chen sneered.

“Rebellion? I’ve long stopped caring about serving you lot!”

Chen Simin scoffed coldly.

“You may treat me that way, but the Old Madam always esteemed and trusted you, assigning many company responsibilities to you.

Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Shang Qingcheng couldn’t help herself as she spoke.

“Heh, I’m not afraid to tell you the truth—I was planted in the company by the Shang Clan. Her regard for me? That’s just her stupidity—nothing more than the foolishness of an old senile woman!”

Chen Simin laughed coldly.

“Grandmother, did you hear that? Just moments ago, you were still pleading for this woman, hoping I would let her go. And now, look at her!”

Xiao Chen sighed and said, “This is the person you wanted mercy for.”

“Hahaha, what nonsense is this fool spouting? Mercy from you?

Maybe in the past I’d have feared you, but now, you have nothing—what’s there for me to be afraid of?”

Chen Simin laughed loudly.

Nearby, Qu Bi’er clung to Qu Zhenye’s arm, saying, “Young Master Qu, weren’t you about to discuss cooperation with Mr. Xiao? These irrelevant people are so annoying—kick them out.”

Qu Zhenye, utterly enamored with Qu Bi’er, was about to get up to reprimand them.

Suddenly, the secretary Zhi Xiaohong rushed in.

“Trouble! Trouble! Chang Zifa from the Tonghua City Chang Family is here with a group of people looking to cause problems. They even brought a cripple with them.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just an insignificant Gold Aristocratic Clan—let them in!”

Xiao Renyi replied coldly.

The door opened.

Chang Zifa entered with a group of people behind him.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen, Chang Zifa walked straight to him: “Mr. Xiao, I brought my brother, Chang Ziru, to apologize to you!”

His voice was loud enough for everyone in the office to hear.

Qu Zhenye and Xiao Renyi froze for a moment, confused.

Why was Chang Zifa addressing Xiao Chen in this manner?

The cripple lying on the stretcher was none other than the current family head of the Chang Family in Tonghua City, Chang Ziru.

Tonghua City’s Chang Family was a Gold Aristocratic Clan, and behind them stood the Capital City’s Chang Family—a Black Gold Aristocratic Clan, ranking just below the top ten aristocratic clans.

Now, Chang Zifa came to apologize?

And Chang Ziru had been beaten to this state—utterly perplexing.

“Please, Mr. Xiao, I dare not offend you again. I’ve caused trouble—do whatever you will, but I beg you to spare our Chang Family!”

Chang Ziru, lying on the stretcher, pleaded.

Xiao Chen smirked coldly.

Arrogant before, now coming to apologize.

Heh—do they really think a simple apology will solve everything?

“Young Master Chang, are you mistaken? The Mr. Xiao you’re looking for isn’t that waste brat—it’s this Mr. Xiao, right?”

Qu Sheng couldn’t help but speak.

“Shut up!”

Chang Zifa kicked Qu Sheng away. “Who the hell do you think you are to insult Mr. Xiao? Do you have a death wish?!”

Then Chang Zifa turned to Xiao Chen. “Mr. Xiao, our Chang Family is genuinely here with sincerity this time—please, I beg you to forgive us and give us a way forward!”

“If you want to apologize, have Chang Baishan come in person. I don’t see your sincerity, and frankly, I don’t have the time to deal with your little issues right now. Get out!”

Xiao Chen glanced coldly at Chang Zifa, his eyes filled with frosty killing intent.

Chang Zifa was momentarily stunned—Xiao Chen was truly difficult to handle.

But he couldn’t make any decisions now. He’d have to return and discuss matters with his father before proceeding.

With that thought, he obediently backed away. “Mr. Xiao, we’ll come back!”

Then Xiao Chen turned to Xiao Renyi. “You lot should leave too. Even though you have thirty percent of the shares, I am now the representative of Bai Group. Want to be chairman?

You don’t have the qualifications yet!”

“What if I don’t leave?”

Xiao Renyi challenged.

“Don’t leave? Don’t blame me for getting physical then!”

Xiao Chen responded coldly.

“Barbarian!”

Xiao Renyi was indeed somewhat afraid of Xiao Chen. He’d heard rumors about Xiao Chen’s combat skills.

With his control over Dashang Group still unstable, it was better to retreat for now.

After all, the Bai Group shares would eventually belong to them sooner or later.

“Just you wait! Let’s go!”

Xiao Renyi, Qu Zhenye, Shang Qingyu, Qu Sheng, and Qu Bi’er all left.

Leaving Chen Simin looking awkward.
