The Crazy Son-In-Law

After Xiao Shun finished his opening statement, the private room fell silent.

The Harrow Chamber of Commerce, in its early days under Tan Haohan’s leadership, was just a small and inconspicuous organization, with only a few members.

But after Tan Haohan’s diligent efforts over the past decade, it had grown to become the largest chamber of commerce in Harrow, with well over a hundred members, all of whom were prominent businesspeople!

Now, Xiao Shun wanted to pluck this ripe peach, which was like cutting off the roots of the Tan family!

Just when everyone thought Tan Guangqi was about to lose his temper, his reaction defied all expectations as he simply smiled nonchalantly.

“Hehe, Mr. Xiao’s proposal is excellent, and the Tan family supports this approach.”

As soon as he said this, the big shots in the room were dumbfounded!

What’s going on, is he showing weakness?

At this moment, Xiao Shun’s eyes playfully looked at Tan Guangqi, who remained calm and composed.

His reaction also caught Xiao Shun off guard.

Before this, Xiao Shun had thought that the Tan family would go into hysterics because of his actions, giving him an opportunity to make a big deal out of it. But now…

“The Tan family has worked hard to develop the Chamber of Commerce to where it is today. Although I haven’t experienced the hardships of our predecessors, I understand the challenges. Mr. Xiao’s abilities are evident to all, and I believe that under the leadership of his wife, the Chamber of Commerce will reach new heights!”

With that, Tan Guangqi raised his glass in a toast to everyone.

Then he drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp, stood up, and slowly said, “The Tan family has made a decision. The rest is up to you to discuss!”

With that, he put down his glass, turned around, and left.

Fatty was standing at the door at that moment, and as Tan Guangqi left the room, he caught a glimpse of a sly smile on his face.

While everyone was still perplexed, Mr. Niu suddenly stood up and shared his opinion.

“Since the Tan family has agreed to this matter, I, Niu Dachun, have no objections!”

Niu Dachun always looked up to the Tan family as a leader, so how could he object? After all, the big boss had set an example.

“Zhongtian Technology withdraws from the Harrow Chamber of Commerce!”

“Southern Trade withdraws from the Harrow Chamber of Commerce!”

“Chuhan Industries withdraws from the Harrow Chamber of Commerce!”

…

With a crash, more than a dozen big shots seemed to have made a pact and directly withdrew from the Chamber of Commerce.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

These were the pillars of the Chamber of Commerce, and as a local businessman, Fatty knew the capital behind these companies. He couldn’t help but fume, “You guys…”

Xiao Shun reached out to pull him over, shook his head, and gestured for him to remain calm.

After calming down Fatty, he addressed those who had chosen to leave, “Are you afraid that I will take advantage of my position as chairman, cannibalize or even short your businesses?”

“Isn’t that what Starline is already doing now?”

“Indeed, with Mr. Tan’s hard work to develop the Chamber, it is unlikely that he would willingly hand over the reins to an outsider like you. Isn’t this a threat from you?” one person criticized.

“No matter how grand your words today, we have made up our minds to leave the Chamber of Commerce. Instead of lingering under your leadership, it’s better to stand on our own feet!” Another person said angrily.

“Exactly, even if the ten of us brothers establish a new chamber of commerce, we can just invite Mr. Tan to be the chairman!”

These words sparked numerous agreements, and half of the people in the room left.

The remaining individuals looked uneasy, sometimes glancing at the unpredictable Mr. Niu and the expressionless Xiao Shun.

“To stay or to leave is entirely up to you, but I need to make one thing clear in advance. If you want to stand on your own, I won’t stop you. But don’t get any ideas about going against me, or Persimmon Commercial’s fate will be your future!”

Xiao Shun said calmly, then left the room with Fatty.

Today’s banquet was a far cry from what he had envisioned, all because Tan Guangqi had thrown a curveball.

After leaving the hotel, Fatty spoke bitterly.

“Boss, Tan Guangqi’s move was truly ruthless, openly trying to incite the anger of the Chamber’s other members through apparent concessions to Starline, then shifting the conflict towards us!”

His words hit the mark, even more so than Xiao Shun had realized.

This showed the man’s talent in the business world.

“Tan Guangqi is even more difficult to deal with than Tan Haohan.”

Xiao Shun assessed.

Upon hearing this, Fatty nodded in agreement.

“That’s for sure, Tan Haohan was completely powerless under our suppression, but Tan Guangqi made a move that caught us off guard, and it was done without our prior knowledge. His on-the-spot reaction is truly terrifying!”

Xiao Shun smiled faintly, “As terrifying as he may be, they still have a vulnerability in my hands. Overthrowing them will be a piece of cake!”

As Xiao Shun’s confidant, Fatty knew exactly what that “vulnerability” referred to, so he couldn’t help but remind him.

“Boss, while that ledger is incredibly useful, using it to scare people is one thing, but if it’s made public, many people will try to stop you. After all, there are too many people involved in this matter!”

Xiao Shun understood the situation but nodded, saying, “I know. I won’t use this tactic unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Suddenly, with a hopeful look in his eyes, Fatty begged, “Boss, how about letting me handle this? Facing a formidable opponent like Tan Guangqi truly excites me, especially if Miss Yao is on board. While I may seem like a party animal on the surface, I’ve actually been behind the scenes advising my father on business matters for years!”

With that, Fatty proudly smiled, exuding unwavering confidence.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Shun’s lips curled into a smile. Since Fatty was so eager, he decided to give him the opportunity. After all, he had to take his next trip to Cliffside with the Ning Zhiyuan master and disciple.
