Chapter 47: Cleverness May Overreach Itself

In the afternoon, Sun Mingzhi, the director of the investment department of Changkong Film, went to make amends with Su Wenshan for the adaptation of this work and then to reinvest.

Su Chen received a phone call from his mother about this. He was at school eating dinner with Lin Yumeng. When he heard the easy and happy tone in his mother’s words, his emotions became lighter.

“Chenchen, are you eating in the canteen listening to the sound around you? Are you with your girlfriend?” asked Wen Xia squeakily.

Su Chen slanted his head to glance at Lin Yumeng and said lightly, “No, Mom. I will hang up first.”

After he said that, he decisively hung up the phone.

“Hang on! Hello? Hello?”

Wen Xia heard the disconnect sound from the phone, and she threw her phone on the sofa in frustration. Then she stared at Su Wenshan angrily. “Darling, do you think that our son has grown up too much? The words of his old mother are not useful anymore. He even dared to hang up on me.”

Su Wenshan looked at “Drawing Sword” on the computer. He took a sip of hot tea from his cup and smiled. “The child is old enough to have a life of his own. Don’t keep bothering him. The more you are like that, the more he’ll keep secrets from you.”

“Hmph!”

Wen Xia snorted coldly. Thinking that her son had easily solved the company’s big trouble, she realized that her son had indeed grown up. At the same time, her heart felt a little empty.

At that moment, Su Wenshan’s mobile phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and looked at it. Then he answered the phone with a surprised look on his face.

“Hello? Old Li? What? That is very good. Okay, okay. I know. Thank you very much. Dinner together tonight? My treat. Okay. That’s good.”

Su Wenshan hung up the phone. His elegant face showed excitement that was hard to hide.

“What’s the matter? Why did Old Li call now? You had cooperated for more than ten years, and it was broken just like that. What kind of friend is that?” said Wen Xia with a cold face.

“I don’t blame him. Old Li had no choice. His company’s biggest business is from the Shen clan’s group.”

Su Wenshan smiled and said, “But everything is fine now. Old Li said everything is good, and he will deepen the cooperation with our company.”

“What is this about?” said Wen Xia, looking puzzled.

Su Wenshan shook his head. “I don’t know. I made an appointment with him to go to Junhao for dinner. I’ll ask the details later.”

As soon as the words were out, the phone rang again, and it was an old friend of his in business.

The phone rang continuously. Most were his friends who had been forced to break cooperation with the Chentian Media Culture because they were afraid of the Shen family and the Zhao family.

Then, Secretary Zhou Lan came into the office excitedly.

“President Su, a few companies called just now. They said they wanted to have long-term cooperation with our Chentian Media Culture Company. They are all powerful companies.”

Su Wenshan and Wen Xia looked at each other. Their eyes were full of happiness and excitement.

They didn’t know why, but they knew something.

The direction of the wind had changed!

No doubt being reborn is a skill.

Qin Yun settled the troubles for the Chentian Media Culture Company with a simple phone call. This would bring many profits for Chentian Media Culture Company too.

What had happened? Why were things like this?

***

In the president’s office of Chaoyang Media Culture, Xu Yuan’s facial expression was nasty. He roared angrily. His saliva, which mixed with his bad breath, sprinkled on his assistant, who brought him the news.

His assistant did not dare show his disgust. He hung his head and bore it. It was indeed gross.

***

Shen Tianze, Zhao Tai, and Fu Xuyang were inside a club in Magic City. Many young masters and young ladies of the big families in Magic City were there.

Zhao Tai’s face was gloomy. He motionlessly sat there, like a beast about to go wild. The raging aura around him made the people there nervous and afraid to go near him.

The atmosphere was oppressive, especially for Fu Xuyang, who was pale in the face. His body could not stop trembling from fear.

He did not expect that Su Chen had such power supporting him. The two families were defeated even though they had struck at the same time.

He was afraid of Su Chen’s revenge. He was also afraid that Zhao Tai would transfer his rage to him. After all, the cause of this thing was his cleverness in letting Zhao Tai and Su Chen become enemies. That is why they had lost their reputation.

“B*stards!”

With a sudden roar, Zhao Tai flapped several bottles of wine from the tea table and smashed them on the ground.

The people around them startled. Fu Xuyang almost peed in his pants.

Shen Tianze glanced at Zhao Tai, then sighed and said, “I did not expect this boy to have connections with the Qin family. There was nothing about this in the investigations I did before.”

The Qin family was the family at the top of the pyramid of Magic City. The market value of the Qin clan group was hundreds of billions of RMB. It had started with the real estate industry.

What’s more, the Qin family’s patriarch was still alive. When he was young, he was a powerful man. He had wide connections not only in business circles but also in other fields.

“What happened? Why did the Qin family help him?” questioned Zhao Tai as he stared at Shen Tianze with his eyes burning red.

Shen Tianze frowned slightly. He felt a little displeased to the tone of his query, but considered him at the edge of rage at the moment. “It seemed like the third young lady of the Qin family laid out her helping hands. How Su Chen got to know her is unknown.”

“The third young lady of the Qin Family. Didn’t she say that she had broken off relations with the Qin family after her husband died a few years ago?” One of the young men looked puzzled.

Shen Tianze glanced at the young man and said in a deep voice, “It is because of her husband’s death that the head of the Qin family felt guilty about his daughter. Even though she said she would leave the Qin family, could it be broken just like that? Who would dare to treat her as if she is not a part of the Qin family? Otherwise, how could Changkong Film have developed so quickly these past few years?”

“Indeed.” The young man nodded.

“Whatever! Su Chen will not be easy to defeat if he has the Qin family behind him,” said one of the young ladies.

“Not necessarily. It depends on how deep the relationship between the third young lady and him is. This is very likely just a return for some favor. The Qin family seemed to be unlikely to go against us with all they have.” said Shen Tianze with a deep voice.

“I don’t care who he has got. No one can stop me.”

Zhao Tai swept everyone in that room with a grim look in his eyes. Then he finally stopped at Shen Tianze. “Since your soft way is useless, then I’ll play hardball. He was the first who dared to hit me. He will pay the price no matter what.”

Shen Tianze rubbed between his eyebrows as he felt his headache. Then his cold eyes swept at Fu Xuyang, who was sitting at the corner.

“By the way, this whole mess is the result of this a**hole’s cleverness.”

Fu Xuyang noticed the chill in Shen Tianze’s eyes. He was instantly felt cold, got up, and said with a trembling voice, “I will try to find a way to check the relationship between the third young lady of the Qin family and Su Chen.”

After he finished his words, he left the private room as if he was trying to flee.

“What’s wrong with this guy?” asked someone curiously.

“This is the man who caused the trouble.”

Shen Tianze explained briefly the cause of the matter.

A group of young men and women were suddenly enlightened and shouted angrily.

“Very bold. He dared to set up both Brother Zhao and Brother Shen.”

“Getting into this trouble for nothing!”

“Brother Shen, do you want to find someone to teach this guy a lesson?”

“…”

“Just wait. If this doesn’t work out, we will put out the fire with his family,” said Shen Tianze as he looked at Zhao Tai.

“I thought he was your friend, and you helped him out.” Zhao Tai’s eyes showed anger too. He was losing his reputation to a small man, and he felt frustrated.

Shen Tianze’s face showed disdain, “He is not qualified enough to be my friend. It is just that his company helps us Shen Clan Group to sell some products. It is also my fault that I did not stop you at that time. I thought that Su Chen was nothing big.”

“When that b*stard pays, he will be next,” said Zhao Tai coldly.
