Chapter 470 Rushing to the Auction
Shi Menglu's beautiful eyes widened instantly, her face filled with horror.
To crush the Su family of Kyoto underfoot?
Heavens, the audacity of this man!
"Fine, you're arrogant enough, but you're not qualified to make the Su family move. You'll pay for your arrogance. Just you wait, I'll make you look bad, and I'll make your Huo's Cosmetics look bad too!"
With these parting words, Shi Menglu turned and jumped into her car. The engine roared like a wild beast as she sped away.
In the blink of an eye, her taillights had disappeared.
"Mr. Chen, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I'll treat you to a meal at the best hotel in the provincial capital another day."
Snakey said hurriedly. As he turned to leave, Chen Xuan stopped him.
"Mr. Chen, is there anything else?"
Snakey's forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he spoke cautiously.
Chen Xuan took out a business card and tossed it to Snakey.
Snakey looked at the card and frowned, "Ren Xin Medical Hall."
"This clinic specializes in treating falls and injuries, and it's very effective. Have these people go to Ren Xin Medical Hall to get checked," Chen Xuan said, glancing at Snakey's subordinates lying on the ground.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll have them go to Ren Xin Medical Hall shortly."
Snakey was incredibly grateful. He hadn't expected Mr. Chen to be so kind, to introduce them to a place to get treatment after beating them up.
Snakey glanced at Chen Xuan and said obsequiously, "Mr. Chen, do you have any other instructions?"
"Since you're here, don't let any of these people leave," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?" Snakey swallowed hard.
"My factory is in need of workers on the assembly line right now. Take your people and fill in the positions," Chen Xuan said with a half-smile.
"Ah?"
Snakey's eyes widened instantly.
"What, you're unwilling?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes. "Or should I call Master Bai? Let Master Bai come over?"
There was no need to call Master Bai. Someone who dared to challenge a behemoth like the Su family of Kyoto, how could Snakey dare to offend him?
"Ahem..."
Snakey almost choked, forcing out a smile. "Mr. Chen, what are you saying? We should help each other. I've caused so much trouble for Mr. Chen's factory, so it's only right that I compensate you. I don't need any wages, just provide me with one meal a day."
Snakey was clearly quite sensible.
And so, the notorious Snakey became a proud assembly line worker at Huo's Cosmetics.
Afterward, Chen Xuan took Snakey to Huo's Cosmetics.
A few minutes later, Huo Yuhao, who had received this news, was completely stunned.
Snakey was the boss of this area. Every time he came to Huo's Cosmetics, he would extort them, and even demand tributes. Today, he was actually made to work on the assembly line by Chen Xuan, and for free?
He looked at Chen Xuan and swallowed hard.
This was truly a remarkable man!
"Mr. Chen, is it okay for them to work on the assembly line?" Huo Yuhao was still a little worried.
"What's not good about it?"
Chen Xuan lit a cigarette and said faintly, "Furthermore, just treat them as ordinary workers. Don't be polite. If they dare to run away, call me."
Huo Yuhao immediately nodded. "Alright, I'll arrange for them to start working immediately."
Putting aside their identities, these people had arrived at the perfect time.
As Huo's Cosmetics' products won awards overseas, many distributors began placing orders with Huo Yuhao, naturally requiring them to ramp up production. With nearly a hundred people now here, they could open another production line.
After arranging everything, Huo Yuhao returned to his office.
He placed a list in front of Chen Xuan. "Mr. Chen, this is a list of celebrities we've compiled over the past two days who could endorse Huo's Cosmetics. Please take a look."
Chen Xuan took the list and glanced at it casually.
There were quite a few names on the list, and Chen Xuan had heard of some of them. However, because Chen Xuan was not familiar with the entertainment industry at all, he didn't even recognize what many of these stars looked like. He could only skim through it.
At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly saw a familiar name.
He Qiongshi.
He pointed to the name. "She's also an option?"
"Mr. Chen, to be frank, the celebrities on the right are the most suitable for Huo's Cosmetics, but they are either unavailable or unable to endorse Huo's Cosmetics for other reasons."
Upon seeing this name, Huo Yuhao said.
He Qiongshi's name was right at the top.
Chen Xuan then noticed the annotations.
Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile, "Mr. Chen, to be honest, Miss He Qiongshi is very popular right now. She's a first-tier celebrity, even more famous than Shi Menglu. However, Huo's Cosmetics doesn't have the financial strength to collaborate with her yet."
"I contacted her before, but I was directly rejected, hehe."
"She's very suitable?"
Chen Xuan saw He Qiongshi's name at the top and knew her importance.
"Both her appearance and temperament are a perfect match for our products."
After speaking, Huo Yuhao added, "More suitable than Shi Menglu."
"Then it's easy to handle. Let's go with her,"
Chen Xuan pointed to He Qiongshi's name and made a decisive choice.
"Ah?"
Huo Yuhao didn't know where Chen Xuan's confidence came from.
However, if Chen Xuan said it was possible, then it was naturally possible.
At this moment, Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, stared out the window, and said faintly, "He Qiongshi should be arriving in the provincial capital soon..."
"Ah?" Huo Yuhao was confused, not understanding why Chen Xuan was so confident.
"Yuhao, are you free tonight? Accompany me to an auction?" Chen Xuan said casually.
"I'm all alone, I can only guard my empty room every day. I have nothing to do tonight."
Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile, "Mr. Chen, I'll pick you up tonight then."
"Good!"
The two of them hit it off immediately.
...
Chen Xuan drove his car back to the Su family residence.
After dinner, Huo Yuhao drove to the Su family villa, parked on the side of the road, and sent Chen Xuan a message.
Soon, Chen Xuan walked out of the villa and got into Huo Yuhao's car.
Huo Yuhao drove, feeling both nervous and excited. Chen Xuan even asked him to accompany him to the auction, which made him feel like he was truly considered one of his own.
He secretly resolved that in the future, he would definitely work hard with Chen Xuan.
"Mr. Chen, are you also interested in auctions?"
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly. "There's something I want at the auction, so I'm going to take a look."
"I wonder what it is that Mr. Chen desires so much?"
Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
"The Yu family villa!"
Chen Xuan calmly uttered a few words. As expected, he saw Huo Yuhao's smile freeze, followed by his expression turning extremely grim.
"Mr. Chen, you're new here. You probably don't know the legend of that Yu family villa," Huo Yuhao blurted out.
"I know. Isn't it haunted?"
Chen Xuan calmly uttered a few words.
"Mr. Chen, you know and still want to buy it?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.
Chen Xuan remained silent.
He narrowed his eyes, staring at the brilliant lights under the elevated highway.
That was no haunted house. It was likely a dragon's eye location of a dragon脉, the best feng shui spot in the provincial capital. Perhaps only places like the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven in Kyoto could compare!
The feng shui was too good!
Chen Xuan even suspected that if his father, Chen Jianhua, hadn't turned the Yu family villa, such a feng shui treasure trove, into a place of Yin energy, Chen Xuan might not have been able to eliminate the Yu family.
Chen Xuan had always thought he was fighting alone, but when he looked back, his father had likely been watching him all along, providing him shelter and support.
Chen Xuan didn't know that when his father, Chen Jianhua, learned of this matter, he was so enraged that he almost massacred the Yu family. If it weren't for Su Qian stopping Chen Jianhua for fear of escalating the situation too much, the Yu family would have been destroyed long ago.
"Father, what were you searching for?"
"Father, what were you enduring?"
"Father, your son Chen Xuan is willing to bear it all with you!"
Chen Xuan clenched his fists, staring at the dazzling night scene, his eyes gradually welling up with tears.
