Chapter 874: Chapter 875: Today You Will Regret It

Song Xiaodong ignored Ma Lili’s mother and smiled at Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Xiaoqiang, we’ve played together since we were kids. When I was around, you and Gangzi took great care of my sister. But during this period, I haven’t really been able to help you guys much. It’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but I thought it was also nice for you to lead a simple life."

Li Gang immediately said, "Dongzi, you’re being too modest. Your sister is like our sister too."

Song Xiaodong put his arms around their shoulders and said, "Gangzi’s right, my sister is your sister too, and you guys are my brothers. How can I endure wealth alone while letting you suffer such humiliation? If they humiliate you, it’s as if they’re humiliating me."

"Dongzi, I..." Wang Xiaoqiang stammered.

Song Xiaodong cut off Wang Xiaoqiang’s words, saying, "I just want to ask you guys one question, are you willing to join me in my endeavor?"

Li Gang immediately said without reservation, "Do you even have to ask? I’ve been waiting for you to say that."

Wang Xiaoqiang clenched his fists and said, "I’m willing! I don’t want to suffer this kind of humiliation anymore, I will work hard. I won’t let people look down on me again."

"That’s the spirit. It’s fine to lack ability, but one must never lack the drive to move forward. With effort after the fact, you can make up for what you lack innately."

Song Xiaodong slightly smiled and said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, Li Gang, I now officially appoint you both as the vice-presidents of Minghe Shengya Company, and each of you will also hold twenty percent of the company’s shares."

"Vice-president?" Wang Xiaoqiang stuttered, "Isn’t that a bit too much? We have no experience at all."

Song Xiaodong said, "So what? Experience is something you gain along the way. I’m not asking you to manage the company directly yet; this is for you to train and develop."

Li Gang grinned excitedly and said, "Damn, just being a vice-president is awesome, and to actually get shares too—I gotta ask, how much are these shares worth?"

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Shengya Company’s assets are roughly around five billion, you do the math."

"Five billion, twenty percent—I’ve got a billion?" Li Gang’s mouth twitched, and then he said with a beaming smile, "Can I actually cash that out and spend it?"

Song Xiaodong laughingly said, "Look at how small your aspirations are."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Ma Lili’s mother sneered at that moment, saying sarcastically, "You sure talk like it’s real, playing vice-president, holding a billion. With the wind this big, aren’t you afraid of twisting your tongues? That’s not the way to boast."

Song Xiaodong looked at this shameless old woman and smiled faintly, saying, "You may not believe it, but there is something I will do that will make you believe. By the way, what was that company of Wang Shenlong called?"

Wang Shenlong raised his chin proudly and said, "Pinglong Company! What about it?"

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Alright, if you were truly just in love with this woman and came to snatch her away in marriage, then you could be considered a man. But it didn’t stop there; you had the audacity to insult my brothers without any shame, and I cannot tolerate that."

"What can you do if you can’t tolerate it?" Wang Shening said with disdain.

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "If I can’t tolerate it, naturally I won’t let you off easily." With that, he took out his phone.

Wang Shening laughed out loud and said, "I really wanted to leave, but since you’re putting on such airs, I really want to see just what you can do about it."

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and without saying anything, made a phone call. As soon as it connected, an excited voice on the other line said, "Brother Dong!"

Song Xiaodong said, "Zi Xu, it’s been a long time."

"Brother Dong, are you in Tiannan? I’d love to have a drink with you."

"I’m attending a classmate’s wedding right now, at the Fuhua Hotel."

"Then I’m very close by, I’ll be right there."

"Wait, first help me check out a company called Pinglong Company, see who their clients are, and tell them to stop doing business with this company."

"Got it! I understand, I’ll arrange for someone to handle it right away. Anyone who dares to upset Brother Dong will be taken good care of by me."

After hanging up the phone, Song Xiaodong directly called Ding Shanyue from the Ding family.

"This is Song Xiaodong. Please look into Pinglong Company for me, check if they have any issues with tax evasion or avoidance, and if so, deal with it accordingly. If not, just let it slide."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shanyue immediately understood and hurriedly said, "Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to handle it right away. Mr. Song, I was actually hoping to meet with you, may I know if you have the time?"

"I’m currently at the Fuhua Hotel attending a classmate’s wedding, you can come by."

"Great! I’ll be there immediately."

Song Xiaodong hung up the phone, then turned to Wang Shening with a smile, "Just a reminder, although you may not go bankrupt right away, continuing to be as glamorous as before will be very difficult."

Wang Shening felt a chill in his heart and said, "Who are you trying to scare? You think you can take down my company just by making a few calls? You think I’m so easily frightened?"

"Then just wait and see," Song Xiaodong said with a faint smile.

Ma Lili’s mother snorted, "Psh! Pretending to be all serious; it’s ridiculous. Even a real father wouldn’t be this generous. You keep acting, just be careful not to overdo it, or you’ll end up unable to get off the stage."

What Song Xiaodong least wanted to deal with was this kind of mean person. He looked toward Wang Xiaoqiang and Xiao Cao and said, "So do you two want to continue with the wedding today? What do you think?"

Xiao Cao blushed, looking at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang also looked at Xiao Cao, suddenly feeling that Xiao Cao had become much more beautiful, a beauty that emanated from within. He had never noticed it before and couldn’t help but say with a lump in his throat, "Xiao Cao, are you really willing to marry me?"

"I... I am willing," Xiao Cao said shyly, still meeting Wang Xiaoqiang’s gaze.

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, "You can’t be this hasty, even if Xiao Cao doesn’t have a wedding dress, the ceremony still needs to be formal. Where’s the officiant? Continue with the ceremony."

The officiant was completely bewildered, but since someone was now in charge of the situation, he naturally toughened up and continued to officiate the wedding.

Just as the wedding ceremony ended, Chen Zixu hurried over. Song Xiaodong greeted him, "Zi Xu, you’ve arrived."

"Yeah, Brother Dong, I’m here to join in the fun," Chen Zixu said with a cheerful smile.

"Ah! Chen Zixu!" Wang Shenlong suddenly cried out loud.

He had overheard Song Xiaodong’s phone call earlier but hadn’t paid much attention at first, so he hadn’t caught the part where Song Xiaodong mentioned Zi Xu.

But he definitely knew Chen Zixu, knew who he was, and knew the extent of his current power. And here was Chen Zixu, so enthusiastic upon seeing Song Xiaodong, even directly calling him Brother Dong.

To be called ’brother’, among the young people, Chen Zixu calling someone brother would mean that person couldn’t possibly be ordinary, could they?
