Super Tycoon: I Beg You, Stop Pulling Stunts

Chen Yuanxing’s tone was joking. He was complaining, but he didn’t sound miserable. It was more like he was making the best of a bad situation, showing off his “unyielding spirit.”

The project was shelved, and there had been no word from Lin Chu. Given the current domestic financing environment, securing other funding was impossible. All he could do was hold on and wait for the skies to clear.

So, when he received this call, Chen Yuanxing was absolutely thrilled.

‘The big boss’s call. I finally got it.’

He had been following Lin Chu’s every move.

Although there was so much he wanted to say, he didn’t say anything out of place. He waited for Lin Chu to get to the point.

“So busy… Am I interrupting you?”

Lin Chu teased with a laugh.

“Hahaha, I wish you’d call me every day! And I wish I could bother you every day, but I was afraid of being a nuisance… Is this about the low-altitude aircraft? Have you made some progress?”

Seeing that Lin Chu was still making small talk, Chen Yuanxing decided to cut to the chase, asking tentatively with a laugh.

‘If you have a lead, let’s get started right away!’

‘I’ve been waiting for ages!’

‘I’ve been wishing on every star!’

“Yes. Come to Dubai. As soon as you can.”

“I’ve bought a plot of land here, and I’ve already sorted out the policies and paperwork. Finding talent and technology, and setting up the supply chain, will be a bit of a challenge, but it’s much less of a headache than it would be back home. We can build everything from scratch.”

“Get here as soon as you can. I’ve already got the money ready for you.”

“Figure out what you need for the preliminary stage. You haven’t been slacking off during this time, have you?”

Hearing this, Chen Yuanxing felt his heart pound, ready to leap out of his throat.

As long as the policies and money were in place, nothing else was a problem.

“No, not at all. I’ll start packing now. I can be there by tomorrow. Everything that can be prepared is more or less ready.”

‘What more could I possibly ask for?!’

‘Let’s get this show on the road!’

“Good. I’ll be waiting.”

After hanging up, Lin Chu made several more calls, speaking with the relevant personnel and summoning them all to Dubai.

Once that was done, he gazed out at the city lights, a sense of satisfaction and wild ambition stirring within him.

‘So many things truly do move forward through a series of twists and turns.’

‘Taking the long way around.’

‘As long as you never truly leave the game, you’ll eventually make an impact.’

「In the guest room.」

You Shaoqiang and Kang Hao were talking. They had had a little to drink tonight, but not much. At least, You Shaoqiang was still sober. Kang Hao, on the other hand, was clearly a bit tipsy, his eyes bloodshot.

The scale of the event tonight had been shocking, even for two people who were used to grand occasions.

It was just too much.

It was honestly just absurd.

A moment ago, You Shaoqiang had described parts of the party to his father. His dad hadn’t said much in response, but You Shaoqiang got the feeling he was regretting something.

His own mind was a whirlwind of thoughts as well.

Kang Hao was also in low spirits, though it certainly had nothing to do with business.

All night, he’d been distracted and fidgety, his eyes darting toward An Yunzhi like a thief’s.

For certain reasons, An Yunzhi hadn’t spent much time at the party itself, and she had specifically avoided the envoys from back home. Instead, she was engrossed in conversation with the female relatives of several Princes. Every expression on her face was poised and graceful.

It was just… her elegance and aura… felt worlds away from his own now.

“Still thinking about her? Look at you, all pathetic and moping. Is it worth it?”

“If you were really a man, you’d go and steal her from him. I’d even back you up… but you don’t have the guts, do you?”

You Shaoqiang decided it was time for some tough love. For years, the kid had been his sidekick, almost like a younger brother. It wasn’t the first time he’d taken this kind of chiding tone with him.

Kang Hao glanced at You Shaoqiang. His lips twitched, but he just lowered his head again in silence.

“If you don’t have the guts, then forget about it.”

“The world’s treasures are reserved for the bold. She wasn’t interested in you before, so you can forget about it now. Besides, you’re about to get married yourself. Don’t be so shameless,” You Shaoqiang added.

Kang Hao was, once again, left speechless.

After a deep sigh, his lips moved as he couldn’t stop himself from asking, “How did he do it?”

You Shaoqiang was rendered speechless and could only scoff.

‘What a fucking stupid question.’

He answered with forced patience. “He couldn’t do it before because he wasn’t powerful enough. Now, the balance of power has shifted. How do you *think* he did it? You really think it was for love? Wake up… If your dad had ten times the assets, you could’ve done it a long time ago.”

“Do you know what I’m thinking about right now?” You Shaoqiang asked, quietly changing the subject.

“Hm?”

Kang Hao looked at him in confusion.

“I’m thinking about how to mend this connection before it breaks completely. People can make mistakes, but they can’t keep making the same one.”

Kang Hao’s eyes widened in shock. He was taken aback by this “fickleness,” thinking, ‘It’s not that serious. It’s really not… It’s not like we absolutely have to beg him for anything.’

You Shaoqiang could see what he was thinking but didn’t bother to explain.

For a mature businessman, things like face and dignity were no longer part of the equation. This world only respected power and intelligence.

While he hadn’t offended Lin Chu, and his family’s business had no strong ties to him, You Shaoqiang had an almost primal intuition that this was an opportunity he couldn’t afford to miss. The thought was becoming an insistent itch he couldn’t scratch.
