Chapter 899: A Newborn Calf Is Not Afraid of a Tiger
Su Chi studied finance. He was the only person in the Su Family who did not dabble in academics. As an anomaly, he was criticized practically every day like Huo Ci, saying how he stank of money.
Everyone in the world of finance had heard of Jun Shiyan’s legend. He was a legend in the financial world. Even if one was not his fanatical worshipper, they would still definitely admire him.
Su Chi was one of them. He idolized Jun Shiyan, but more so, he treated him as a target he wanted to surpa.s.s. Now that he saw his target right in front of him, he had many questions he wanted to ask the person involved.
There were all kinds of rumors about Jun Shiyan in the capital. The wildest one was that he had been crippled, disfigured, and became impotent because of an accident.
However, when the real person appeared in front of him, all the rumors naturally collapsed on their own. If such features were considered disfigured, could he ask the heavens to disfigure him a few more times? Ahhhhh!
Ling Sheng could clearly feel that after the Third Master appeared, her younger brother had become a little excited. His eyes also carried several notes of fanaticism, as though he was a fan meeting his idol.
Huo Ci was in front, carrying Ling Xiaoqi and accompanying Huo Xiao and Su Xiyin.
Four of them—Ling Sheng, Jun Shiyan, Huo Xuanzhou, and Su Chi were behind them.
Su Chi hesitated for a long time before looking at Jun Shiyan. “Erm, Brother-in-Law, I have something to verify with you.”
The power of his address was quite powerful.
Huo Xuanzhou reacted before Ling Sheng and growled angrily. “F*ck, brat, who are you calling Brother-in-Law? Who allowed you to use this address blindly?”
Ling Sheng’s eyes widened abruptly, and she nearly choked on her own saliva. She had not expected that he had been hesitating for a long time over this address.
Jun Shiyan looked at Su Chi in utter satisfaction. This kid was not bad. He would definitely be promising in the future. As long as Huo Ci and Huo Xiao were not around, he did not have to care about anyone. He smiled and nodded. “Ask whatever you want.”
Upon seeing him ignore him like he was air, Huo Xuanzhou’s handsome face darkened in anger. “Ling Sheng, say something!”
Ling Sheng smiled and pretended to be dumb. “What did I say?”
Upon seeing that the three of them were in cahoots, Huo Xuanzhou said, “You stinky brat, you haven’t even gotten married, yet you’re already siding with an outsider! See if I’m not telling your father!”
“How old is Master Zhou?” Jun Shiyan smiled and asked, “Why do you still like to complain to your elders so much?”
Huo Xuanzhou held back a mouthful of blood in his throat and pointed at him angrily. “So what if I like to complain? Just you wait!”
Jun Shiyan smiled and asked, “Ah Chi, what did you call me just now?”
Su Chi understood immediately. “Mr. Jun.”
Huo Xuanzhou gritted his teeth and pointed at them angrily. “You guys are impressive!”
Su Chi looked at Huo Xuanzhou’s back view and turned to ask Ling Sheng, “Sister Sheng Sheng, what is he doing here?”
He was not a member of the Su Family anyway, so why had he come over? Huo Xuanzhou’s reputation was bad, and the elders at home did not really like him. He had never come here before in the past.
Ling Sheng knew very well why he had followed them here, but she could not tell him. Otherwise, Huo Xuanzhou would have his legs broken and he’d be thrown on the streets. “He’s my father’s chauffeur.”
Jun Shiyan took a look at the young lady and smiled knowingly. How could it be that simple? He had heard from Yu Zheng that Huo Xuanzhou had been asking about Su Yan recently. He had probably come for her.
Su Chi did not bother with Huo Xuanzhou either. In the Su Family, even if he had other motives, he would not be able to make waves. When he looked toward Jun Shiyan, he could not hide the excitement surging out of his heart anymore. “Brother-in-Law, back then, did you really compete against Wall Street alone to strive for vindication? Is this true?”
“Is this the version you guys heard?” Jun Shiyan raised his eyebrows slightly. Recalling that time, he said, “I was just young and frivolous. It’s nothing.”
Su Chi’s eyes were full of sparkling little stars. He was definitely a young fanboy, full of admiration. Look at the self-restraint of the richest man. He was too humble.
Back when China Communications had been suppressed and sanctioned in M Nation, the big shots of the financial world behind Wall Street had tried their best to prevent China Communications from being listed in M Nation.
Due to the increasing market share of Chinese enterprises, they had been discriminated against, suppressed, and sanctioned. At one point in time, the Chinese people had been so angry that their liver hurt. Even the politicians in power at that time had been helpless and could only negotiate.
He had single-handedly turned Wall Street upside down. The market was thrown into complete chaos and panic. Not only did they remove all the suppression and sanctions, but Wall Street had even begged for his company to be listed.
The Chinese people heaved a sigh of relief and applauded. However, other than the important figures of that time and the people from the financial and economic circles, few people knew that he had achieved this.
The man beside him was definitely an unprecedented G.o.d-like existence in the financial world of China. As his successors, their blood boiled with enthusiasm whenever they mentioned that incident!
When Ling Sheng heard this, she also felt her blood burn with righteous indignation. It turned out that the man beside her had been a chunnibyou[1], an angry youth. Whoever offends China will be punished, however far away they are!
Jun Shiyan smiled. In the prime of his youth back then, he had simply been bitter about the
Actually, there was another very important reason. During that period, China Communication had been in Second Brother’s hands. According to Second Brother’s temperament, he had wanted to take things slowly.
However, at that time, he had been like a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger. He had gone head to head with them. Neither had he expected that the news would spread and become so fantastical later on. Then, he also became a legend in the financial community.
Su Chi had more questions to ask. For example, after he had taken over the Gu Family, he had been jointly suppressed by the Chinese Commerce Alliance. Bearing the determination to fight to win or die, he had fought against the top families of China, the whole financial world, and the Ministry of Finance, leaving behind a legendary story.
He found it unbelievable even when he thought about it. A family, one that was not even as powerful as the current Gu Family, but a family that had not even been ranked in the top ten in China… They had fought with those giants and still won in the end.
When all was said and done, it was not the Gu Family either, but him. Without him, how could they have succeeded? How could they have resisted? If it had been someone else from the Gu Family, they would have been crushed long ago.
His ruthlessness, his vengeful nature, and his name as the King of h.e.l.l had also spread around since then.
However, no one could deny that his capabilities, talent, and intelligence were way above everyone else. He was the king of the business world.
Jun Shiyan spoke casually and modestly. He only said that everything he had done was for the sake of survival. The business world was also a dog-eat-dog place. If one did not think of all ways and means to survive, one would only be swallowed up and reduced to someone else’s food.
