Chapter 48: There is a Big Shot Protecting Him

After the two finished discussing the cooperation matters.

Hao Zude called down two young men with quite sharp and fierce auras from a black business car behind him, and said:

"Both of them are scouts who retired from ace troops. They are proficient in tracking and counter-tracking, grappling and fighting, wilderness survival, and so on. Their various tactical skills are all top-tier. If you are satisfied, they will be your bodyguards from now on."

"Of course, you still have to pay their wages. According to their comprehensive abilities, the monthly salary for a bodyguard of this level is usually twenty thousand to fifty thousand. Given your current net worth, you aren't short of this bit of money. I hope you won't treat these two heroes poorly."

Su Xin nodded:

"No problem. Then I will hire them at a monthly salary of fifty thousand. There will be bonuses for holidays and festivals, and all kinds of benefits will not be lacking either."

Hao Zude introduced the two sides to each other. Of the two, the taller and stronger one was named Xiang Lianyun, and the slightly thinner and shorter one was named Wang Zhao.

After Hao Zude left with Di Yuan, Su Xin was escorted by the two bodyguards to the company to handle the onboarding procedures for them.

At this time, in a hotel private room.

Chen Congnan, President of the Business Development Department of Penguin Group, was clinking glasses with a pot-bellied middle-aged man, a scene of harmony and joy.

At a certain moment.

Chen Congnan suddenly said without any warning:

"By the way, President Xu, I heard that Tianqi Technology is in the Yonghui Building under your name, right?"

This pot-bellied middle-aged man was none other than the owner of Yonghui Building, Xu Tiande.

He was the boss of a real estate company, mainly operating commercial real estate. He owned several buildings including Yonghui Building. Although he had a considerable net worth and lived a very comfortable life, he was not actually considered a big shot in the business world.

In terms of status, he was even less than Chen Congnan, who was a Vice President of Penguin Group.

Suddenly receiving an invitation from Chen Congnan today, he was originally confused. After all, he and the other party were complete strangers, and their company businesses had nothing to do with each other; there was basically no possibility of cooperation.

Now hearing the other party mention Tianqi Technology, Xu Tiande suddenly understood in his heart.

He smiled calmly: "That's right, Tianqi Technology is indeed my client. I personally received them when they rented a floor back then."

Chen Congnan put down his wine glass, his expression becoming serious: "I won't hide anything anymore. Today, I mainly have a favor to ask. I would like to ask President Xu to drive Tianqi Technology out of Yonghui Building, and it must be done today. As for the breach of contract penalty, our Penguin Group will bear it in full for you."

Xu Tiande shook his head: "President Chen, doing business is about integrity, and it's not just a matter of the breach of contract penalty. If I drive Tianqi Technology out today, what will other clients think? Will anyone dare to rent the real estate under my name in the future? You are asking me to cut myself off from the business world."

"I understand your difficulties."

Chen Congnan said seriously: "But don't worry, of course it's impossible to let you drive others away for no reason. I will arrange for a company to propose renting three consecutive floors in Yonghui Building from you in the name of an emergency move-in. But most of the floors in Yonghui Building have already been rented out, so this company will keep raising the price, and finally, you will be forced to drive out one of the companies to make room for it, and the company that gets driven out will happen to be Tianqi Technology."

"Although such a plan will also affect your reputation and doesn't sound very good, it will never have any impact on your future business. After all, this is a special situation, and everyone knows it's impossible for it to happen often, so other tenants won't have too many misgivings because of this."

Xu Tiande still shook his head, and this time, his tone was much firmer:

"President Chen! I cannot agree to this!"

Chen Congnan's face gradually sank, and he said indifferently: "Since President Xu is unwilling, then I won't force it."

"By the way, I heard that your Huihuang Real Estate hasn't been doing well lately. It seems the business situation isn't great, and you've encountered problems with capital turnover. At a time like this, the slightest carelessness could lead to a collapse of the capital chain, and then the problem will be huge. President Xu, you must not be careless."

Chen Congnan's seemingly well-intentioned reminder made Xu Tiande frown.

His real estate company was not listed, and most of the equity was held in his own hands. Even if Penguin Group's financial resources were strong, it was impossible to directly suppress him. But this didn't mean the other party had no way to deal with him. After all, most real estate companies used bank loans to leverage for rapid development.

He was no exception.

Now that his Huihuang Real Estate had encountered capital difficulties, if Penguin Group secretly made trouble, causing his capital turnover to be further obstructed, and then mobilized their connections at the banks to keep urging for debt repayment, it would very likely cause his capital chain to collapse, leading to the company's bankruptcy.

In business, capital is often omnipotent. Unless his real estate company could be like Su Xin's Tianqi Technology—not listed, not seeking financing, not taking loans, and not even having any indispensable suppliers or clients—otherwise, capital would always have ways to manipulate him.

At this moment, he truly began to envy Su Xin's Tianqi Technology. The other party's company possessed cutting-edge technology, the business situation was incredibly good, and they didn't need to look at anyone's face, let alone worry about any commercial suppression.

Even a behemoth like Penguin Group could only use such near-shameless little tricks to deal with Tianqi Technology.

This just showed that Penguin Group was helpless against Tianqi Technology, and it also showed how bright Tianqi Technology's future prospects were.

Thinking of this, Xu Tiande took a deep breath, and his eyes turned cold:

"Use whatever means you have. I, Xu Tiande, have never been threatened by anyone!"

"Don't think your Penguin Group is so remarkable. You only know how to speculate, monopolize operations, and throw money around. You are just hooligans and scoundrels in the industry, a bunch of unscrupulous merchants who make no contribution to society. With your level of magnanimity and style, I don't think you'll live for another ten years."

"And Tianqi Technology is the future star of technology for Long Country. Su Xin is the future leader of Long Country's Artificial Intelligence industry. Even if I, Xu, am obsessed with money, I will never harm a company that studies technology and brings glory to the country!"

"I'll say it here today: even if Huihuang Real Estate is suppressed by you to the point of bankruptcy, I will never do anything detrimental to Tianqi Technology!"

After speaking, Xu Tiande stood up in a rage, turned around, and strode out of the private room.

Chen Congnan's face turned blue and then white, his heart full of displeasure and anger.

Tomorrow is June 12th.

It is the day Su Xin announced that Tiantian Assistant would have a major update.

He rushed to meet Xu Tiande today and demanded that the other party immediately drive Tianqi Technology out of Yonghui Building, just to completely disrupt the other party's plans, and then take the opportunity to create all kinds of public opinion, using a series of means to suppress Tianqi Technology, not leaving the other party a moment to catch their breath.

Of course, besides driving Tianqi Technology out of Yonghui Building, he had also prepared other means, so it wasn't considered a complete failure of the plan at this moment.

At this time.

His mobile phone suddenly rang.

Chen Congnan took a look and answered immediately.

But before he could speak, he heard a slightly urgent voice coming from the receiver:

"President Chen, tomorrow's operation is cancelled. There is a big shot above protecting him, and I dare not act rashly. Also, I'll give you a warning: it's best not to touch him, otherwise you might also get into trouble."

After speaking, the phone was hung up directly.
