Chapter 1035: Negotiations Break Down!
When Hao Jian and Yuan Shanshan arrived at the mayor's office on the fifteenth floor, they saw Zhong Fei, full of pride, with a slightly scantily clad female secretary beside him, her lips moving as she softly whispered some reports.
"Haha, the esteemed guests have arrived."
Upon seeing Hao Jian and Yuan Shanshan, Zhong Fei waved towards the secretary, signaling her to step aside, only then did he leisurely lift his head and smile broadly.
"I've come here, I suppose you should know why?"
Hao Jian didn't care where this was, he walked over and settled on the sofa with Yuan Shanshan, casually picking up an apple, taking a bite, and speaking vaguely.
As for Yuan Shanshan, she calmly sat beside Hao Jian, slowly flipping through the files in her LV bag, influenced by Hao Jian's demeanor.
If Hao Jian wasn't bothered, why should she worry? After all, as Hao Jian said, those factories are just a part, even if they aren't retrieved, it's no big deal.
"Hao Jian, your factory has been shut down by the government for counterfeit and inferior products, and I've sold it to the trustworthy Nicholas Consortium. Isn't it inappropriate for you to come here now?"
Seeing Hao Jian behaving as if he owned the place, the veins on Zhong Fei's forehead gradually popped, and he said coldly, "Shu Ya Group's credibility really worries me!"
"You'd best leave now, or don't blame me if I revoke Shu Ya Group!"
"Zhong Fei, let's not beat around the bush. You know what you've done, and so do I..."
Frowning slightly, Hao Jian stared fiercely at the smug Zhong Fei as he spoke slowly.
"Haha! Do you know who stands behind me?! It's the Nicholas Consortium! You know their international influence, far surpassing yours. I'm surprised you'd still dare to confront me. The once-respected Hao Jian is now such a fool!"
There were only a few people in the office, so he didn't mind saying anything. Plus, he had already installed soundproof materials around it, so no matter how loudly he spoke, people outside wouldn't hear.
"Zhong Fei, I'm giving you face, don't take advantage of it!"
"Tch, since when does our mayor need anyone to give him face!?" At this moment, the secretary standing beside Zhong Fei looked at Hao Jian with disdain.
"Look at what you're wearing. Our mayor represents all of Hua City, and dressing like that shows no respect whatsoever, not to mention behaving so casually in the office, without noticing the hierarchy!"
The secretary seemed quiet, yet her words were sharp and scornful, like a shrew picking faults with a domineering tone.
"Haha! Well said, this guy is just cheap! No wonder there's a 'Jian' in his name!" Hearing the contemptuous words of his secretary, Zhong Fei felt quite pleased, subconsciously grabbing a handful of her backside, making her blush.
Witnessing this scene, Hao Jian's eyes grew colder, but his face still bore a smile, seemingly unaffected by the insults.
"Hao Jian..."
Yuan Shanshan, beside Hao Jian, seeing his composure, gently squeezed his hand, signaling him to stay calm.
The soft touch awoke Hao Jian, prompting him to smile tenderly at Yuan Shanshan, blink his eyes, then slowly stood up, casually picking up the set of documents Yuan Shanshan placed on the table and tossed them.
Infused with Hao Jian's clever force, the originally fragile papers sliced through the air resistance, shooting towards Zhong Fei with unstoppable momentum.
Seeing the documents flying towards him, Zhong Fei's face showed fear. Just when the documents were only ten centimeters from his head, they suddenly lost power and dropped vertically onto Zhong Fei's hands.
"When talking to me, you'd better drop your arrogance and pride. Regardless if you have Madison's backing, if I want to kill you, no one can save you..." Hao Jian glanced at Zhong Fei with a hint of disdain.
"Bastard!"
On his own turf, to be humiliated like this by Hao Jian, Zhong Fei's face turned grim while he regretted telling his bodyguards to leave the office!
"Hao Jian, do you really think I'd be afraid of you because of these words?!" Yet for Hao Jian's threat, Zhong Fei showed no concern, instead, a sinister look gradually spread across his face, he chuckled coldly and said, "I've already investigated your forces in Hua City!"
"With just one phone call, all your forces can be wiped out in no time! Do you believe it?!"
Hearing this, Hao Jian grinned, slowly raised a finger, and shook it slightly, saying, "I don't believe it!"
"Damn it!"......................
Upon receiving this response, Zhong Fei slammed the table in anger, coldly chuckled, and said, "Are you sure you want me to return the factory to you?!"
"You'd better return it to me. If not, I won't mind, but you'll bear the consequences..."
Glancing at Zhong Fei lightly, Hao Jian paid no heed to the fact that this was the mayor's office, his continuous threats made Zhong Fei unable to retort or dare to!
The only subordinate Madison could send to fight Hao Jian was that frail young man, and Madison also told him that if it was avoidable, never confront Hao Jian directly!
After all, if they fought against Hao Jian, they might lose. The only way to defeat him was their status and certain tactics!
However, Madison also told him not to worry. In four days, a batch of their subordinates would arrive in Hua City, and by then, they could compete with Hao Jian!
The only prerequisite was that Hao Jian wouldn't force him out of his position as mayor...
"It's not impossible to return the factory to you..."
Glancing at Yuan Shanshan, Zhong Fei's eyes suddenly revealed a hidden fervor, albeit fleeting, but Hao Jian caught it. Immediately, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Mayor!"
Hearing Zhong Fei actually relent, the secretary was a bit anxious. This kind of person, does the mayor have to submit to him?!
"No problem!"
Waving his hand, Zhong Fei glanced at Hao Jian and said, "Break one of your own legs, and I'll return a factory to you. Let this woman beside you accompany me for a month, and I'll return all your factories!"
"Say that again..."
Zhong Fei's words made Hao Jian's eyes abruptly turn icy, a faint killing intent lingering around him, then suddenly spreading throughout the entire office as if the whole office had entered the depths of winter!
"Zhong Fei, you're playing with fire, do you know that?!"
Hao Jian's words carried a chilling frost, piercing to the bone, directly stabbing into Zhong Fei's mind, causing his body to shudder. Yet he still gritted his teeth, a look of madness appearing on his face, laughing loudly: "Hao Jian! Do you know that seeing you so angry truly brings me joy! I never thought you'd have this day! Did you think about this day when you broke my precious son's leg?!"
"Heaven has eyes! To let me meet Mr. Madison, and to make revenge fall on you so swiftly!"
"Joyous!"
"Hahaha!"
The laughter continued to erupt from Zhong Fei's mouth. Suddenly, he clenched his hand, crushing the document in his hand into a paper ball, and then threw it fiercely at Hao Jian, laughing arrogantly!
He didn't look at a single word of the content of the document, or rather, he didn't care about Hao Jian's opinion at all. From start to finish, he was just looking for a chance to disgust Hao Jian.
Such disregard was also the best means to disgust Hao Jian. Couldn't he see Hao Jian's extremely gloomy face?! This was exactly what Zhong Fei wanted to see!
His precious son was lying in the hospital because of this guy, still not waking up. He had to tell his son the moment he woke up that his dad had avenged him!
Moreover, he wanted to tell all his colleagues that Hao Jian wasn't that scary; he was just a fool!
With Madison backing him, not everyone could have such support. Once he handled his relationship with Madison well and brought over some projects from him to Hua City, his achievements would surely rise every year!
By then, climbing higher would be much easier, but to achieve these goals, he had to first get rid of the obstacle standing in his way!
The obstacle was Hao Jian!
"Zhong Fei, you better remember what you've said!" Hearing Zhong Fei's words, instead of looking agitated, Hao Jian's face turned calm. He slightly moved his hand, holding Yuan Shanshan's small hand. Looking at Zhong Fei, he let out a cold laugh and said, "Everyone has to take responsibility for their words, not just you, even I am not an exception!"
"The responsibility for my words is to bring you down!"
"Enjoy the fleeting pleasure of your position! Soon, you'll taste the flavors of both Heaven and Hell!"
Saying this, without any hesitation, Hao Jian directly took Yuan Shanshan's hand and left the mayor's office.
"Hahaha! So satisfying!"
Seeing Hao Jian leave with his people dejectedly and also getting humiliated in front of him, Zhong Fei couldn't feel more thrilled. Previously, his colleagues either respected or feared Hao Jian!
But none of them had directly confronted Hao Jian like him! Now he wanted to tell those people, this is Hao Jian, this is the useless Hao Jian they were afraid of!
In his hands, Hao Jian couldn't turn the tides!
"Hey hey, beauty, the words you just said made me so happy!" After Hao Jian left, Zhong Fei suddenly looked at the secretary beside him, a lewd smile on his face.
