"Fatty Huang, are you damn tired of living, offending someone you shouldn't?!"
As soon as Huang Peng picked up the phone, he heard an angry voice.
"Mr. Qian, what's the matter?"
Huang Peng almost dropped his phone as he shakily asked.
Actually, he only owned 20% of that mine; the majority stake belonged to Mr. Qian. Without Mr. Qian's power and connections, he couldn't exploit it.
Mr. Qian was his immediate superior. Besides that, Mr. Qian owned other mines, an entity he couldn't afford to offend.
"Who did you offend?"
Looking around the room, Huang Peng finally focused his gaze on Chu Chen.
"I previously fought over a villa with a young punk and might've threatened him a bit?"
Huang Peng feebly answered Mr. Qian.
"You bastard!"
Mr. Qian cursed, having just received a call from a big shot who told him that Huang Peng had offended someone untouchable.
Hearing this, Mr. Qian immediately understood and hurriedly called Huang Peng.
"You never accomplish anything useful, always causing trouble for me."
Mr. Qian harshly scolded Huang Peng over the phone.
"If that young man doesn't forgive you today, I'll make sure you, Huang Peng, become Huang 'Friend!'"
"Ah?"
Huang Peng broke into a cold sweat. Mr. Qian never went back on his word, and those who crossed him usually met a terrible fate.
He'd been in trouble before, and Mr. Qian had said the same thing. He naturally understood what Mr. Qian meant.
"Mr... Mr. Chu... I... I'm sorry."
The next second, Huang Peng directly kneeled in front of Chu Chen, trembling as he spoke.
"Everything is my fault. Please, be magnanimous and don't hold a grudge against a lowly person like me."
Huang Peng hurriedly apologized to Chu Chen, terrified to the core.
Seeing this scene, Huang Peng's bodyguards stood in shock.
It was the first time they had seen their boss like this.
In their impression, the boss was an omnipotent figure, now kneeling in front of a young man.
With their boss kneeling, what could they do? The bodyguards also kneeled and apologized one after another.
"All kneeling?"
Seeing this, two staff members from Eastern Hanhai were deeply shocked. They never expected this outcome.
Although they knew Chu Chen's background was extraordinary, Huang Peng wasn't from Jiangzhou, much less Tiannan Province.
A single phone call made Huang Peng willingly kneel and apologize; the connections of this No. 1 villa owner were terrifying.
"This..."
Nuonuo and Meng Yao were also stunned.
Just a moment ago, Huang Peng's bodyguards had them worried for Chu Chen, but now, the situation had reversed so dramatically they couldn't react.
"Brother is amazing!"
"Bastard, let me speak to Mr. Chu."
Mr. Qian's voice came from Huang Peng's phone. Mr. Qian knew Huang Peng was useless and that he had to personally step in to calm Mr. Chu.
"Mr. Chu."
Huang Peng shakily handed the phone to Chu Chen.
"Who is this?"
Taking the phone, Chu Chen asked.
"Mr. Chu, I am Huang Peng's boss. It was all his fault earlier; he didn't recognize Mount Tai in front of him. Please don't stoop to his level."
Mr. Qian spoke very politely.
Owning several mines, Mr. Qian was a master of diplomacy, never easily offending anyone.
"To show my apology, I'll give you 5% of Xingyuan Coal Mine's shares, worth roughly two to three hundred million. It's not much, but please accept it."
Mr. Qian said.
"Alright."
Chu Chen glanced at Huang Peng, who was kneeling on the ground, shaking as if he might wet himself any second, and nodded.
Hearing this, Mr. Qian on the other end of the phone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Chu, you are indeed magnanimous. I, Qian, admire you. If Mr. Chu is willing, I would like to make friends with you."
Mr. Qian continued.
"The share transfer contract will soon be delivered to your residence. When I have the opportunity, I'll personally visit to apologize."
Tossing the phone back to Huang Peng, Chu Chen got into Nuonuo's car and left.
Chu Chen and Su Chuqing's car led the way, with Sun Dian following, heading to the nearest upscale restaurant.
Watching Chu Chen leave, Huang Peng let out a breath.
"What, that 5% of shares has to come from me?"
Picking up the phone, hearing Mr. Qian's words, Huang Peng jumped up.
He only had 20% of the shares, and now he had to give away a quarter!
"I can't live like this."
This was practically killing Huang Peng.
...
In the car.
"Brother, who exactly are you, so amazing."
"Yeah, brother, you really scared me earlier. Huang Peng looked so fierce."
"I never thought a single phone call would make him kneel and apologize. It's unbelievable."
"Brother, how are you so incredible?"
In the car, Nuonuo and Meng Yao asked with admiration and curiosity.
"Why?"
Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled mysteriously.
"Maybe because I have money power."
Superpower?
Hearing this, not just Meng Yao and Nuonuo, even Su Chuqing was stunned.
Was there really someone with superpowers in the world?
"What's your superpower, brother?"
"Yeah, yeah."
The curious eyes of the three girls all turned to Chu Chen.
"Can't be revealed, can't be revealed."
Chu Chen replied mysteriously.
The more Chu Chen didn't say, the more curious they became, wanting to explore and see his true self.
They had set out early, yet Huang Peng delayed them, coinciding with the evening rush hour.
Jiangzhou's evening rush hour was famous throughout Tiannan Province, sometimes lasting an hour or two.
Their car was soon stuck in traffic.
Shortly after, another bad news came.
According to reports, there was an accident ahead, combined with the rush hour, meaning it would take at least an hour before they could move.
Many drivers got out of their cars to get some fresh air.
Chu Chen and his group also stepped out of their car.
Surrounded by Su Chuqing, Nuonuo, and the others, Chu Chen chatted warmly.
In an instant, Chu Chen became the center of attention.
One man with three stunning beauties drew countless envious stares!
"Why do three goddesses surround one man?"
"Just because he's handsome, he gets three goddesses?"
"Driving a luxury car, accompanied by three beauties, this is the life."
People looked at Chu Chen with extreme envy.
"Hmph, what's the use of having beauties and luxury cars if you're stuck here like the rest of us?"
"Exactly, we're all stuck here, rich or not."
Some were so jealous they started mocking Chu Chen to find comfort.
"So what if he's handsome and rich, he still has to wait here like an idiot."
