Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Chairman of Shanshui Group

"He’s the chairman of Shanshui Group."

"Ah, now this will be quite the show to watch." Someone in the crowd commented as they saw Zheng Shan arrive, squinting their eyes.

"Oh?" The female companion by his side, curious after hearing this, perked up.

The man, also a wealthy boss, knew quite a bit more about the circles within as information traveled fast at the top; essentially, nothing remained a secret.

Feeling his female companion’s curious gaze, the boss couldn’t help but show off, "Hey, Shanshui Group started in real estate, but what you might not know is that Zheng Shan, the chairman of Shanshui Group, used to work for Century Group."

Upon hearing this, those nearby turned their heads to look.

"The chairman of Shanshui Group once worked for Century Group?" A woman nearby exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise, clearly finding the news explosive.

"Ah, don’t make it such a big deal; the old chairman of Century Group rose in the eighties, while Shanshui Group has only been around for about a decade. It’s only really gotten going in the last ten years."

"Century Real Estate, under Century Group, is an old-school real estate overlord in Sea City, one of the first batches. Powered by the grand development of Pudong, it was once unmatched in its heyday. At that time, Zheng Shan, now chairman of Shanshui Group, was just a demolition enforcer."

"Back in the day, I had a few encounters with Chairman Zheng. Afterward, he founded a third-party service company, which essentially hired a team to help with demolitions, earning his first pot of gold."

"Having been in the business for many years, he later ventured into real estate and boldly snatched a plot of land right from the jaws of Century Real Estate."

"Hey, because of this, the two companies had quite a fallout. Shanshui Group was nearly crushed out of existence by Century Real Estate. In the end, it seems the chairman had to kneel down and apologize to Century Group to get them to back off and spare him."

"Really? Such things happened?"

As the man recounted smoothly, those around clicked their tongues in astonishment, never expecting such animosity.

Shanshui Group is one of Sea City’s top ten real estate developers and has already made a name in the Southeast Five Provinces, ranking in the top hundred nationwide with assets worth over a hundred billion.

Of course, Shanshui Group is a notch below Century Group, which is a super conglomerate. Just one of its subsidiaries, Century Real Estate, can rival Shanshui Group. In front of Century Group, Shanshui Group is like a son.

However, that was during the era when Chen Qinian, the old chairman, was in charge at Century Group. After Chen Qinian left, the stock prices of Century Group’s major listed subsidiaries plummeted. At its peak, Century Group had over a trillion in assets, but now it is more than halved.

Moreover, Century Group now faces a significant problem — the heir to Century Group isn’t the Crown Prince Chen Muyang but a newly emerged brother, Li Feng, who is not yet thirty and to whom the old chairman has sworn allegiance.

When this news broke, Century Group’s stock price dropped significantly again.

Naturally, the internet is rife with conspiracy theories, the most widely accepted being that Li Feng is a puppet manipulated by the old chairman’s wife, a sycophantic pretty boy who climbed up by licking his way to the top.

So it seems that Li Feng is the chairman of Century Group, but comparing such a chairman, who ascended through dubious relations, to Zheng Shan, who built Shanshui Group from scratch with his own hands...

There’s a clear winner.

At least, those present had little respect for Chairman Li Feng and showed even more disdain and jealousy for his incredible luck.

And upon hearing this news, many people looking toward the two of them were filled with increased anticipation.

"Chairman Zheng."

Several people who had been hit saw Zheng Shan appear and immediately glared resentfully at Li Feng and the beautiful woman in a black dress beside him.

One person got up and directly complained to Zheng Shan, "Chairman Zheng, these two seem to have come here deliberately to cause trouble. Not only are they disrespectful in their speech, but they also dared to hit someone. They simply don’t regard you, Chairman Zheng, in their eyes."

"Yes, who doesn’t know that tonight’s banquet is hosted by you, Chairman Zheng? Yet these two deliberately came to pick a fight. Master Lin just came forward to exchange a few words of greeting when he instructed this woman to hit Master Lin. We couldn’t bear to watch and spoke up, but this woman was completely unreasonable and ended up hitting us as well."

These people complained to Zheng Shan all at once, and Lin Wanzhou, who had had his finger broken earlier, also stood up with a fierce expression.

"Zheng Shan, you must give me an explanation today."

Lin Wanzhou looked at Zheng Shan, disregarding seniority and respect, and actually ordered Zheng Shan around as if he were a servant.

A fierce light flashed in Zheng Shan’s eyes, but he lightly smiled and turned his head to look at Lin Wanzhou, "I wonder what kind of explanation Master Lin would like me to provide."

"These two despicable people must be arrested. I want to vent this anger myself," Lin Wanzhou seemed blinded by rage and did not catch the tone in Zheng Shan’s voice and spoke rudely.

The expressions of several people next to Lin Wanzhou also changed as they looked at him differently—had Master Lin’s head been kicked by a donkey?

Although they flattered Lin Wanzhou a bit, it was because Master Lin behind him had significant influence. But if he thought he was really somebody who could also scold the chairman of Shanshui, then he was utterly mistaken.

A few people subconsciously stepped back, distancing themselves from Lin Wanzhou.

It’s not the god-like opponent one should fear, but rather the pig-like teammate.

Zheng Shan turned around directly, his gaze fixed on Lin Wanzhou, and with a quick swing of his hand slapped Lin Wanzhou across the face, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

Lin Wanzhou was utterly dumbfounded.

"Zheng Shan, you dare to hit me."

Lin Wanzhou clutched his face, looking up at Zheng Shan with resentful eyes.

Zheng Shan looked coldly at Lin Wanzhou with a slight smile, "It seems like Master Lin has had too much to drink. Someone, please take Master Lin to the pool to sober up."

This was Mountain and Water Villa, Zheng Shan’s home ground. As soon as Zheng Shan spoke, the security guards who had heard the commotion immediately obeyed and stepped forward, escorting Lin Wanzhou away from each side.

"Zheng Shan, how dare you lay a hand on me, how dare you offend Longevity Tao Sect, you will regret this..."

Zheng Shan was indifferent to Lin Wanzhou’s threat, and after the man was dragged away, Zheng Shan turned to look at Li Feng and Yamada Sakura.

"Wow, this chairman of Shanshui is really something. That Master Lin is the son of Heavenly Master Lin, and still, he doesn’t give him any face. He just hit him and even threw him into the swimming pool."

"Pfft, that Master Lin really isn’t too bright, daring to order around the chairman of Shanshui. That guy really started from the bottom in this society; did he think he was some cultured person?"

Most of the people present were in the real estate business, daring enough to be in the field, who didn’t have some backing and skills.

But Lin Wanzhou was just a minor episode, the real drama was still to come.

This Chairman Zheng didn’t give face even to Master Lin, let alone the puppet chairman of Century Group.

Heh.
