Chapter 745 (2/2)
Fifth-year!
The ever-increasing income of the Senyuan Group did not stop and could be said to be soaring, as they acquisition a lot of plots of lands and developing residential areas everywhere, selling commercial buildings…
In the eighth year, the total assets of the Senyuan Group had increased tenfold, while Chen Zixue had also become a famous real estate tycoon with a resounding name.
Ring, ring, ring…
The ringtone of his mobile dragged his mind back, causing Chen Zixue’s expression to change. He quickly accepted the call and said in a deep voice, “Have you found it?”
“I have…”
After a while, Chen Zixue hung up and then dialed another cell number.
****
Bluestar Villa Complex.
Tang Xiu had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by the buzzing noise of his mobile’s ringtone. He glanced at Kang Xia who was still sound asleep, leaving him with no choice but to grab his phone. He saw that it was a call from an unfamiliar number, thus he hesitated for a while before accepting it, and then said, “Tang Xiu speaking, who is this?”
“I’m really sorry for disturbing you this late at night, Mr. Tang. I’m Chen Zixue of the Senyuan Group.”
“Just tell me what you wanna say.”
Tang Xiu’s tone was a bit rude. After all, he just had a “workout” and was a bit tired, while he also just fell asleep before getting awakened by the noise, making his mood quite bad.
“I’m really sorry for disturbing you this late at night, Mr. Tang. I know it’s improper and I have no rights to do so, but I have no other choice left. Could you spare some time to meet me?”
“Now? Are you kidding me?”
Tang Xiu looked at the time and saw that it was half past two in the morning.
Chen Zixue forced a smile and replied, “I’m afraid I’ll be kicked out of the tender if I were to wait until tomorrow.”
Tomorrow?
Tang Xiu then remembered that tomorrow was the tender for the project. He also recalled that Kang Xia had listed the top ten domestic construction companies. The Senyuan Group was one of them and the real helmsman of the company, its CEO, was Chen Zixue.
However, it was late at night. Did he want to go through the back door to obtain the project that was about to be tendered?
Tang Xiu pondered for several seconds before answering, “Where are you now?”
“I’m at the hotel on Wenge Avenue.”
“I don’t know where that is. Go to Shanghai University within an hour if you want to see me. I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance.”
40 minutes later, at the entrance of the Shanghai University campus.
Tang Xiu was neatly dressed as he waited inside his car while quietly flipping through the information he just found online. It was all about Chen Zixue’s resumés and portfolios. The content was short but with a lot of highlights. After reading it, he even had the illusion that this Chen Zixue could be compared to him. He was someone who had his personality and nature greatly transformed overnight, the likes of someone who had crossed planes and returned back.
“The HQ just sent another information, Boss.”
Mo Awu, who stood outside the window, handed his tablet to Tang Xiu.
After receiving and seriously reading it, Tang Xiu’s expression turned extremely serious. He did not expect that the Everlasting Feast Hall really had information regarding Chen Zixue. The information was very detailed, and it was clear that the record had some matters that were unknown to the public.
“Pure Yang Constitution, as well as gifted and genius!”
The final note on the document echoed inside Tang Xiu’s mind, while the one who wrote that note was Gu Xiaoxue.
Tang Xiu hesitated for a while before he dialed Gu Xiaoxue’s number. Then, he asked, “Why is there information about Chen Zixue? And why didn’t you recruit him into the Everlasting Feast Hall?”
“It was Master who met him by chance when he was a child, Grand Master,” answered Gu Xiaoxue. “She ordered us to keep an eye of Chen Zixue’s situation. But then, Master stayed inside the exquisite pagoda all the year round, while I was responsible for sending people to investigate him. I finally found that he had a problematic personality, hence ordered the men who gathered his information to not recruit him into the Everlasting Feast Hall.”
A problem with his personality?
Tang Xiu looked at the document again and there was a comment written by Gu Xiaoxue there: Enigmatic and impossible to predict mind; hard to tame wild nature and unruliness beneath the surface; ruthless and vicious when handling problems; and likes to resorts to unconventional gambits.
Tang Xiu hung up and gave back the tablet to Mo Awu. Then, he muttered to himself, “He’s quite a good talent. A pity that he was actually born here.”
“Do you wish to subdue him, by chance, Boss?” Mo Awu, who looked at his expression, asked.
Tang Xiu fell silent for a while as he suddenly smiled and said, “I want him to be under more observation and scrutiny. Few people can pique my interest nowadays. If there is a pleasant surprise… maybe I will!”
