Chapter 40 The Challenger Comes So Quickly
Li Jiajia's face turned pale, and she choked back a sob, whispering to Chen Xuan, "I... I know I was wrong!"
Chen Xuan was expressionless.
Meanwhile, Xu Shijie quickly took out the pills he had prepared and said sheepishly, "Brother Chen Xuan, congratulations on your promotion to President of Yishen Pharmaceutical. We will be colleagues from now on. This is a pill I specifically bought for eighty million at the auction. I'm giving it to you today to celebrate your promotion. I hope you can overlook my past transgressions."
At this moment, Yang Tianhu, standing nearby, eyed the pill in Xu Shijie's hands with suspicion, confirming it was the same inferior pill he had sold.
As he listened to Xu Shijie's words, he couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
Chen Xuan said coldly, "What you consider precious means nothing to me. As for you two, in my eyes, you are not even worth a fart."
Xu Shijie's face instantly turned a shade of purple.
Li Jiajia gritted her teeth and glared at Chen Xuan, unable to contain herself. "Chen Xuan, you're pushing too hard! We spent all our savings, eight million, to buy this. Have you ever seen eight million?"
Chen Xuan was too lazy to listen to such nonsense and said decisively, "Take your things and get out!"
Li Jiajia still wanted to argue, but at this moment, Hei Hu couldn't hold back any longer and let out a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha, so it was you idiot who bought this piece of trash! You're actually giving this thing to Mr. Chen? Are you an imbecile?"
Hei Hu roared with laughter, looking at Xu Shijie as if he were an utter fool.
A hint of displeasure flickered across Li Jiajia's face, and she glared at Hei Hu indignantly, shouting, "Who are you? This pill is a hot item for eight million! Can you afford it?"
Hei Hu was angered by Li Jiajia and his eyes widened in fury. "Where did this foul-mouthed woman come from, daring to speak to me like that?"
He wanted to say that the pills you sold were all taken from Mr. Chen by me, but recalling Chen Xuan's instructions, he managed to swallow the words back.
Hei Hu, while flattering Chen Xuan, belittled Li Jiajia. "What hot item? In Mr. Chen's eyes, this is just dog shit! With a casual wave of Mr. Chen's hand, he can produce countless pills!"
Li Jiajia's beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she glared at Hei Hu, too furious to speak.
Hei Hu glanced at Li Jiajia and said coldly, "Didn't you hear Mr. Chen tell you to get lost? Hurry up and leave, or do you believe I'll have someone throw you out right now?"
Xu Shijie, having seen the world, recognized Hei Hu's identity. His face turned pale, and he abruptly covered Li Jiajia's mouth, shouting in a low voice, "Shut up, this is the renowned Hei Hu!"
Hearing Hei Hu's name, Li Jiajia's small face turned ashen, and she stammered, "We... we're leaving now!"
Xu Shijie quickly cupped his hands towards Chen Xuan and said, "Chen Xuan, Jiajia and I are not even worth a fart. You will surely let us go like passing gas. Thank you."
Finding a way to save face, Xu Shijie grabbed Li Jiajia and fled as if pursued.
Walking a short distance away, Li Jiajia gave Chen Xuan a dirty look from afar and angrily said, "What's so great about you? You're just sucking up to important people, you're still just a small security guard!"
Xu Shijie's expression turned cold, and he said sternly, "Li Jiajia, don't provoke him anymore! He's not a small security guard anymore; he's the President of Yishen Pharmaceutical!"
Li Jiajia's expression changed, and she said unwillingly, "But there's still the mysterious person, maybe..."
Xu Shijie quickly covered Li Jiajia's mouth and warned, "Shut up! Don't you know where we are? What if someone hears?"
Li Jiajia's pupils contracted. She also knew that this matter absolutely could not be leaked.
Xu Shijie knew that the mysterious person was very capable, but compared to Miss Su, he couldn't be sure who was more powerful at this moment.
This feeling of uncertainty was what supported Xu Shijie's confidence in remaining at the banquet.
...
"Mr. Chen, do you want me to teach those two clueless things a lesson?"
Hei Hu stared at Xu Shijie and Li Jiajia as they walked back into the crowd, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Never mind, they're just a couple of clowns," Chen Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
Hei Hu nodded. "Mr. Chen is truly magnanimous. Then I won't disturb you further. I'll go have a few drinks."
With that, Hei Hu turned and left.
Following suit, many wealthy and noble individuals came to toast Chen Xuan, wanting to get to know him.
Chen Xuan remained composed and responded to each of them, engaging in pleasant conversation, truly basking in his moment of glory.
Su Yunxi's eyes, however, flashed with a hint of worry as she reminded him, "Chen Xuan, you'll have to be careful from now on. Although the gift you received today is significant, you will face many challenges in the future."
Chen Xuan nodded faintly. "I know."
Su Yunxi frowned. "You know?"
Chen Xuan nodded again. "Your status and your position dictate that your life cannot be solely your own to consider. Only by being sufficiently outstanding will I be qualified to hold your hand tightly! And I am ready to accept any challenge!"
At this moment, Su Yunxi's expression shifted slightly, and she asked somewhat excitedly, "Aren't you afraid?"
"If I miss you because of fear, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly. "Besides, there is nothing in this world that I should fear!"
Just then, a cold laugh rang out. "Heh, I've seen what it means to be eloquent today!"
Chen Xuan was slightly startled and turned his head to look.
The speaker was a young man sitting next to Zhou Changping. He was wearing a branded suit, his gaze arrogant, and he kept glancing at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan clearly felt the young man's hostility and couldn't help but frown, saying, "I don't remember offending you anywhere."
"You haven't offended me, but you've deceived Yunxi. Now, confess honestly!" the arrogant young man said coldly.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Chen Xuan's face, but he suppressed it and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
At this moment, Su Yunxi's pretty face turned cold, and she said sternly, "Qian Shaokang, what are you doing?!"
The arrogant young man looked at Su Yunxi, his sharp gaze instantly turning extremely gentle, and he chuckled, "Yunxi, you are so outstanding, how can you consider someone like this as a potential son-in-law? As a classmate, I must help you vet him. Besides, you know my feelings. How am I inferior to this guy in any way?"
His name was Qian Shaokang. He was Su Yunxi's university classmate, and although young, he had already taken over most of the Qian family's assets.
When Su Yunxi was studying in Kyoto, he was already a suitor.
After Su Yunxi came to Jiangzhou, he pursued her relentlessly.
Chen Xuan smiled wryly, instantly understanding what was happening. He hadn't expected the first challenger to arrive so quickly.
After speaking, Qian Shaokang stared at Chen Xuan again with disdain. "Chen Xuan, right? You might be able to deceive Yunxi, but you can't deceive me. Let me tell you, all those lofty promises of yours are just your means to curry favor with Yunxi. Aren't you just trying to leap over the dragon gate and save thirty years of hard work?"
Qian Shaokang provocatively said, "You are worthless, while I am the head of the Qian family with a net worth of ten billion! What qualifications do you have to be worthy of Yunxi?"
Chen Xuan clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arm. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, "Don't push your luck too far!"
