Chapter 866 Celebration?
However, Zheng Tianpeng betrayed Grandpa Zheng and almost killed him. He had always thought that Grandpa Zheng disliked him for not being his biological son, which was why he refused to give him the position of family head. But he was completely wrong!
It wasn't that Grandpa Zheng refused to hand over the Zheng family to Zheng Tianpeng, but that Zheng Tianpeng's character was flawed.
*Plop!*
Zheng Tianpeng's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground. He kowtowed to Grandpa Zheng while slapping himself, shouting, "I was wrong! I was terribly wrong!"
Grandpa Zheng looked at Zheng Tianpeng and sighed deeply, his face etched with sorrow.
Grandpa Zheng would not allow someone who had tried to kill him to take over the Zheng family. In principle, killing him would be no loss, but out of consideration for their years of relationship, he ordered Zheng Tianpeng to be imprisoned. After all, even a dog, after so many years of companionship, would evoke some feelings.
This matter finally came to a close!
"Chen Xuan, if it weren't for you, this old bone of mine would be gone. Thank you!"
After finishing his business, Grandpa Zheng expressed his gratitude to Chen Xuan again.
Grandpa Zheng looked much older now than before.
It was understandable; being nearly murdered by one's own son was a pain akin to losing a child in middle age.
"Grandpa Zheng, you are too kind. It's what a junior should do."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, not seeking credit.
Grandpa Zheng suddenly looked around and frowned, "Chen Xuan, why are you alone? Where is Yunxi?"
"Yunxi is at the hotel..." Chen Xuan replied slowly.
"Oh..."
Grandpa Zheng nodded. "Chen Xuan, do you and Yunxi have any business in Hong Kong?"
Chen Xuan gave a wry smile and did not hide anything. He then told Grandpa Zheng about the difficulties the Su family was facing.
"How utterly disgraceful, to be so ungrateful!"
Grandpa Zheng was furious.
How could Zheng Tianpeng disregard his relationship with the Su family for a threefold profit?
Moreover, the rare earth was first ordered by the Su family!
"Chen Xuan, don't worry. From now on, all the rare earth in Hong Kong will be supplied to the Su family at a low price!"
Grandpa Zheng stated without hesitation.
Chen Xuan looked at Grandpa Zheng in surprise.
Chen Xuan had been worried that Grandpa Zheng might hesitate, after all, it was a threefold price increase.
If it were something worth one dollar, and someone offered three dollars, perhaps an honest merchant wouldn't break their word. But the total value of the rare earth they needed exceeded tens of billions, and a threefold price increase was terrifying!
Yet, Grandpa Zheng agreed without batting an eye. It was clear that Su Yunxi had not misjudged him.
"Then I thank you on behalf of the Su family and Yunxi, Grandpa Zheng."
Chen Xuan expressed his gratitude.
Grandpa Zheng then had someone sign a long-term rare earth supply agreement, and the Su family's shortage of rare earth was resolved.
Afterward, Chen Xuan did not linger and left the Li family.
As soon as he stepped outside, Chen Xuan was about to take out his phone to call Su Yunxi. Just then, his phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID on his phone screen, Chen Xuan smiled, "A meeting of minds!"
It was Su Yunxi calling!
He answered the phone, and Su Yunxi's concerned voice immediately came through, "Chen Xuan, did you get the contract from the Li family in Hong Kong? If you didn't get it, it's fine. We can think of other ways! You must not get hurt!"
Su Yunxi had checked into the hotel, but she was constantly worried. She couldn't help but call Chen Xuan.
"Yunxi, do you have so little faith in the man you chose?"
Chen Xuan stroked his chin, pretending to be annoyed.
Su Yunxi's expression faltered, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Chen Xuan... did you get the contract?"
"Of course, and I got a big one!"
"What big contract?"
"A two-billion-dollar contract!"
Su Yunxi was startled.
She had called everyone she knew at the hotel, but everyone she asked had no way to deal with the Li family in Hong Kong, who dominated the rubber industry and disallowed any interference. Su Yunxi was already disheartened. But seeing that Chen Xuan hadn't called, she decided to call him.
She never expected Chen Xuan to have secured a contract worth two billion dollars!
That was double the amount promised to Zheng Tianpeng.
"Is that true?"
"Of course, it's true. Yunxi, you don't believe me again?"
Chen Xuan rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
Hearing Chen Xuan's tone, Su Yunxi knew he wasn't lying. Her heart filled with joy, but then she suddenly remembered something, and her happiness vanished. "Such a good deal is going to be given to that hateful Zheng Tianpeng for nothing..."
That was a business worth two billion dollars, and it was in the rubber industry. With such a deal, the Su family could establish a foothold in Hong Kong.
She had no objections to this contract saving Grandpa Zheng, but giving it away for free to a beast like Zheng Tianpeng still made her unhappy.
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Yunxi, why would we give it to Zheng Tianpeng?"
Su Yunxi was stunned and said solemnly, "Chen Xuan, although this contract is very good, we still need to save Grandpa Zheng first."
"Yunxi, Grandpa Zheng has been saved. Why do we still need to give Zheng Tianpeng the contract?" Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"Ah? What? Grandpa Zheng is saved?"
Su Yunxi screamed in disbelief.
How was that possible?
So, Chen Xuan recounted everything that had happened to Su Yunxi.
Chen Xuan saved Grandpa Zheng?
Zheng Tianpeng was imprisoned?
Grandpa Zheng signed a rare earth supply contract with the Su family?
One piece of news after another stunned Su Yunxi.
It was too astonishing!
Su Yunxi said hatefully, "That beast Zheng Tianpeng truly deserved it! Not only did he not get the family fortune, but he's also imprisoned!"
"Who's to say otherwise? If Zheng Tianpeng had held on for a few more days, he might have been in charge of the Zheng family," Chen Xuan also sighed.
"Chen Xuan, hurry back. Let's celebrate getting the contract!"
Su Yunxi blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Mhm, I'll be back right away!"
"Be careful on the road!"
After speaking, Su Yunxi hung up the phone.
Her expression flickered as she pondered something, muttering, "No wonder the arrogant Qiu Yingying and Murong Meng both fancied Chen Xuan..."
From dealing with the Li family for the contract to fighting Zheng Tianpeng, Chen Xuan had handled everything on his own. It could be said that without Chen Xuan, she wouldn't have gotten the contract at all.
She had never met such an outstanding man, even in Kyoto.
It was not surprising then that Qiu Yingying and Murong Meng had taken a liking to Chen Xuan.
She pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision and solidified her resolve.
Instantly, a blush spread across her pretty face, making it even redder, as if it could drip blood...
Meanwhile!
"Celebrate? It's indeed worth celebrating!"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, a smile gracing his face.
With the two-billion-dollar rubber contract, the Su family could fully establish itself in Hong Kong. With the rare earth contract, the Su family could break through Su Ning's blockade and officially invest in the research of new lithography machines. If they truly succeeded in developing a new lithography machine, even the Su family in Kyoto wouldn't dare to underestimate the Su family in the provincial capital.
Such a bright future, wasn't that worth celebrating?
