Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 141: Coming into Shape

KaiXuan Investments.

Chen Guanglei’s office.

“Hahaha, Xu Yang, oh Xu Yang, you’re really courting death by messing with Hua’an Film and Television like this!”

Chen Guanglei had been paying close attention to the news about Xu Yang and Hua’an Film and Television.

Obviously, all the negative news about Hua’an Film and Television was released by Xu Yang.

He didn’t know how Xu Yang managed to do it, but he knew that everything Xu Yang did was causing Hua’an Film and Television to suffer huge losses.

In his view, Xu Yang was simply seeking his own demise.

Shareholders of Hua’an Film and Television would certainly step forward to fight back.

In his subconscious, Xu Yang was still just a small fry, absolutely incapable of contending with the well-established big shots.

Thinking about Xu Yang being crushed under the counterattack of many big shots, leading Fengcai Guild and Jiang Di Lao to close down, made Chen Guanglei feel exceptionally good.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

Chen Guanglei put on a straight face, “Come in.”

The door opened and a young woman walked in, “Young Master Chen, President Chen is asking for you in his office.”

This young woman was the assistant to the president of KaiXuan Investments, which is to say, the assistant to Chen Guanglei’s father, Chen Ankang.

“Right now?” Chen Guanglei asked.

“Yes, right now,” the young woman nodded.

“Alright, I’ll head there immediately,” Chen Guanglei said as he got up.

Upon arriving at the President’s office, Chen Guanglei flopped down onto the sofa.

“Dad, what’s the matter?”

“Do you know that you’ve caused a huge disaster?” Chen Ankang’s face looked very grim.

“Dad, how have I caused a disaster? I haven’t done anything wrong,” Chen Guanglei felt utterly confused.

“Humph, you still say you’ve done nothing wrong,” Chen Ankang snorted, “Let me ask you, did you brazenly mock Xu Yang at the ‘War Panther’ celebration, saying that Xu Yang couldn’t invest in ‘War Panther 2,’ but Xingchen Film and Television could?”

“Yes, so what?” Chen Guanglei didn’t see anything wrong with his actions.

“Do you realize that because of your mockery, Xingchen Film and Television got kicked out and failed to invest in ‘War Panther 2’?” Chen Ankang scolded.

“What, Xingchen Film and Television got kicked out, and can’t invest in ‘War Panther 2’ anymore? What does this have to do with my mocking Xu Yang?” Chen Guanglei was both surprised and puzzled.

“Bi Guanghui called me just now, Xu Yang and Hua’an Film and Television have reconciled. One of Xu Yang’s conditions was to kick Xingchen Film and Television out of the deal, saying it’s because you acted like a buffoon at the ‘War Panther 2’ celebration, hopping around in front of him, wanting to teach you a lesson!” Chen Ankang said.

“What! They reconciled? How is that possible? Hua’an Film and Television must have suffered heavily, are they really just letting it go?” Chen Guanglei was shocked.

This was completely unlike what he had imagined.

Shouldn’t it be that Hua’an Film and Television’s shareholders would take action, strike back at Xu Yang, completely suppress him, and even cause Fengcai Guild and Jiang Di Lao to shut down?

How could they just reconcile?

The fact that both parties had settled was too shocking for him, and he had even overlooked the fact that Xu Yang had called him a jumping clown.

“What else can be done besides letting it go? With Xu Yang’s mysterious and unpredictable methods, if the fight continued, Hua’an Film and Television might even face closure.”

“Nobody knows how Xu Yang managed to get his hands on the dirty secrets of Hua’an Film and Television, which has made many in the film industry shiver with fear and regard Xu Yang as one of the most untouchable people in the circle.”

Chen Ankang did gather quite a lot of information, based on what he had just learned.

“How can this be? Could it be that the major shareholders behind Hua’an Film and Television don’t dare provoke Xu Yang?” Chen Guanglei’s face looked terrible.

“It’s not about not daring to provoke him, but rather that it’s not worth it. Moreover, in this case, it’s Hua’an Film and Television that’s in the wrong. Xu Yang is on the side of the law, and the issue has blown up already. If it escalates further, Hua’an Film and Television will definitely be at a disadvantage. It’s better to let it go. Having one more enemy is not as good as having one more friend,” Chen Ankang said.

“This Xu Yang, he has really become a force to be reckoned with,” Chen Guanglei said, his face looking even worse.

“Because of your actions, Starlight Film and Television missed the opportunity to invest in ‘War Panther 2.’ Everyone knows that ‘War Panther 2’ is bound to make money. The other shareholders of Starlight Film and Television have been calling me to express their dissatisfaction. They said that if I do not take action, they will never let the matter rest!” Chen Ankang said.

“How could they do this! Xu Yang is the real culprit here; how could they blame me, let alone blame you!” Chen Guanglei exclaimed.

“Do you still not recognize your own mistakes? I have told you before to befriend Xu Yang, yet not only did you not listen, you even went and offended him. He had no grudge against you. What’s the benefit of offending such a person, huh?” Chen Ankang said, frustrated.

“I just can’t stand him. He’s just a country bumpkin from a small country town. He’s only gotten this far by luck. How can he be compared to me!” Chen Guanglei said, his face ashen.

“A country bumpkin from a small town? I’m not a native of Jiang City either, and my background is even worse than his. At least he’s from a town, whereas I come from a rural area. Are you also annoyed by me, maybe even look down on me?”

Chen Ankang really felt like slapping his son.

“Dad, how can you compare yourself to him? You are a true hero, someone who’s gotten where he is through his own abilities, while he’s just been walking in dog’s luck!” Chen Guanglei argued.

Of course, he couldn’t possibly be annoyed with Chen Ankang.

Without Chen Ankang, he wouldn’t have the life he has today.

Just that, when looking down on others, he naturally didn’t think about his father’s background.

Besides, in his subconscious, he still believed that Xu Yang’s success was due to luck.

“If a person succeeds once or twice, it might be luck, but if every venture they undertake is a success, then that can’t possibly be just luck.”

“Based on what you told me, I did a simple search on Xu Yang’s experiences,” Chen Ankang continued.

“Whether it’s futures trading, picking up bargains in antiques, acquiring Fishing Fire renamed Jumbo Catch, taking over Fengcai Guild or investing in ‘War Panther.’

“And the acquisition of a South American aluminum mine, each venture has been successful, and he’s considered top talent in the investment world.”

“How can you say that such a person has gotten to where he is just on luck?”

“Also, stop calling others ‘country bumpkin.’ It only makes you the butt of the joke.”

“With just Jumbo Catch, his worth has exceeded mine. You’re mocking someone else, but it’s you who’s losing face,” said Chen Ankang, somewhat displeased.

Xu Yang was so successful, yet his son still thought Xu Yang got there by luck, which was purely self-deception.

“What, Jumbo Catch’s market value couldn’t be that high, could it?” Chen Guanglei was astonished.

“Jumbo Catch has already expanded to the top four first-tier cities. Once the stores in these cities open, they’re bound to be a huge hit. At that time, Jumbo Catch’s valuation could even reach tens of billions,” Chen Ankang said.

“What, a valuation of tens of billions!” Chen Guanglei cried out again, “Doesn’t that mean Xu Yang is set to become a billionaire?”

He could foresee how frightening the future of Jumbo Catch would be, but he thought it would be something years down the line.

He hadn’t expected it to come so soon, that just with the opening of stores in the four first-tier cities, the valuation could soar to tens of billions.

“Don’t be so surprised. Ten billion is a conservative estimate. According to some research institutes’ surveys and forecasts, as Jumbo Catch expands to the second and third-tier cities, its valuation could exceed a hundred billion, making Xu Yang a hundred billionaire!”

Once more, Chen Ankang dropped a bombshell, leaving Chen Guanglei’s head buzzing with shock.
