Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Courting

Dong Xing was truly infuriated. Ye Fan’s previous slap had severely humiliated him. Aware that he couldn’t afford to offend Ye Fan, Dong Xing directed all his rage toward Li Feng.

"Hmm, feasible. The stock price of Century Group dropped significantly a while back due to the death of that old man Chen Qinian. Although it has stabilized for the moment, the market remains sensitive. Just a little stir, heh heh."

"By the way, I know the son of Century Group’s major shareholder, Dongfang Ding. The Dongfang Family has always wanted to take control of Century Group. They hold a significant amount of stock in several listed companies under Century. If he helps us dump the stock..."

Clearly, the young masters present were no fools and at least had their wits about them.

"Now that you mention it, I remember there’s a guy who’s been trying to cozy up to me. He seems to be a minor shareholder of Century Group, last name Ma. Since we’re playing, let’s play big."

One of the young masters recalled something similar and sneered as he spoke.

Dong Xing looked over at the two men: "Can you get him over here?"

Both nodded without hesitation, picked up their phones, and made calls to two people.

"It’s set, he’ll be here soon."

"Heh heh, the same here, and there’s an added bonus. The small shareholders Ma Chusheng hangs out with are all here. I might as well have them come over together."

"Good."

Dong Xing nodded. Liu Yan, watching this scene, was utterly astonished. Compared to these men, his own company was insignificant.

When would he also be able to wield such influence?

Before the person arrived, Dong Xing shifted his attention to Liu Yan: "Are you Li Feng’s rival in love?"

As Dong Xing spoke, everyone’s eyes turned to Liu Yan, one of them leering lasciviously.

"Heh heh, I heard that the chairman’s wife of Century is an absolute stunner, a beauty that even tempted the old man of Century to marry her despite his age."

"Moreover, there are rumors online that Chen Qinian didn’t die from cerebral hemorrhage but from an accident during a tryst, dying on top of this woman."

"But this woman leads a secluded life, shrouded in mystery. Do you have her photo, or even better, a video? Let us have a look."

As this young master spoke, the others also became interested.

"Come on, share it with us. She must be quite the looker. I’m curious to see what she looks like, to see if she’s to my taste."

"Hey, regardless, just because she was Century’s former chairman’s wife."

As they started talking, the conversation focused on Han Xue. After all, with Century Group going down, what could one woman matter?

Liu Yan watched these ravenous young masters, took a deep breath, and didn’t dare reveal that his conflict with Li Feng wasn’t over Century’s former chairman’s wife but over his younger female apprentice. He feared these men might target her.

Given his apprentice’s beauty, if these people took notice, it would not end well.

Liu Yan tried to deflect, his face showing embarrassment.

"You guys, enough is enough. Look how scared you’ve made everyone," Dong Xing waved his hand to cut off the discussion and looked at Liu Yan.

"Why don’t you talk about your situation?"

Dong Xing assumed that Liu Yan and Li Feng were both paramours of Century’s former chairman’s wife; otherwise, why would he dare to denounce Li Feng so boldly and even with disdain?

That’s not foolishness; it’s because they know Li Feng well, and as the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. It’s normal for these two to be fighting for favor.

Liu Yan, no longer lost for words, forthrightly stated that he had started a company with promising prospects and began pitching it to the young masters.

Dong Xing, listening to Liu Yan’s eloquence, didn’t expect him to have such substance, realizing he was not just a pretty face and could be of use.

While they were talking, the private room door opened, and Ma Chusheng and others walked in timidly.

"They’re here."

Ma Chusheng and his group looked visibly restrained. Compared to these influential young masters, they clearly were a notch lower.

"Let me introduce you, this is Dong Xing, and these two are Bai Zixu and Lan Tianfang. You know them, right?"

The young master who stood up gave a brief introduction.

"Yes, yes."

Ma Chusheng quickly nodded and bowed, trying to blend into this circle. Even if they hadn’t met these people in person, it was crucial to know them.

These individuals were famously prominent in the circle, including Dong Xing, not only a major figure in the Dong Family but also one of the leading young masters of Sea City.

They were people Ma Chusheng and his peers usually couldn’t even curry favor with, let alone Bai Zixu and Lan Tianfang, who also hailed from influential families, far surpassing these upstarts relying on Century Group.

"Have a seat."

Dong Xing waved his hand, making Ma Chusheng and the others take seats in a corner of the sofa, too nervous to settle comfortably, anxious about the sudden summons.

They hadn’t waited long before Dongfang Ding also rushed in, pushing the door open.

"Now that everyone’s here, let’s cut to the chase," Dong Xing didn’t beat around the bush and laid out his intentions.

"I asked you here for one thing, to take down Century Group, and incidentally, to carve it up."

Dongfang Ding, Ma Chusheng, and the others looked shocked, the topic obviously oversized.

Dongfang Ding swallowed and looked at Dong Xing: "Young Master Dong, you aren’t joking, right? Take down Century Group?"

His family was a major shareholder of Century Group, and discussing this in his presence felt inappropriate.

Dong Xing scoffed.

"Do I look like I’m joking? Let me make it clear to you, Century Group is going down sooner or later. It’s just a matter of who finishes it. Li Feng has already calculated a good price to sell Century Group."

"You shareholders are probably still in the dark."

"Ah!"

Ma Chusheng and the others were also taken aback: "He’s selling Century Group, for real?"

"Heh, do we need to lie to you? Li Feng has contacted a group of people from the Jin City Circle, who are now in Sea City discussing how to fetch a good price for it. We got the news; Century is part of our Sea City, even if it’s doomed, it should remain in the hands of our people, not sold off cheaply to outsiders."

"We called you here to give you a heads-up, lest you get sold off without even knowing it."
