Chapter 480 - 450 Huang Weicheng

Xu Yang returned to the hospital.

He knew that Wei Yongxiong was only waiting to die.

When the time came, he could have Huayang Real Estate take over all of Wei Yongxiong’s projects.

Although the cost of poaching talent was a bit high,

snatching Wei Yongxiong’s projects would ensure they didn’t lose money.

Moreover, by purchasing all the building materials in the province and booking next year’s supply, the market price was bound to rise; this kind of hoarding could potentially turn a huge profit.

The next day.

Xu Yang continued to keep Zhao Yuxin company in the hospital.

Even though Zhao Yuxin still hadn’t woken up, Xu Yang stayed with her whenever he was free.

Before long, the doctor came for a round of visits.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After examining her, he said Zhao Yuxin could wake up tomorrow.

Hearing this news, Xu Yang and his parents were very happy.

The doctor gave a few more instructions and left.

Xu Yang called his father-in-law to share the good news.

The day passed in the hospital.

Just before dinner, Ma Yangrong called.

"What’s going on?" Xu Yang stepped outside the ward to answer the call.

"President Xu, we’ve discovered that Wei Yongxiong is making moves," Ma Yangrong said.

"Oh? He still hasn’t given up? Does he want to struggle on his deathbed?" Xu Yang’s eyebrows lifted.

He had always instructed Ma Yangrong to keep an eye on Wei Yongxiong’s actions and to report to him if there were any developments.

"Yes, he’s been looking for people to help him all day," Ma Yangrong said.

"Did he find anyone?" Xu Yang asked.

"He approached many people in Jiangcheng, but hearing that they’d be opposing you, none were willing to help him. Later, he reached out to a tycoon in the provincial city," Ma Yangrong reported.

"Who is it?" Xu Yang squinted.

"His name is Huang Weicheng. He’s the third richest man in the provincial city. You’ve probably heard of him, right?" Ma Yangrong said.

"I’ve heard of him. Is this Huang Weicheng willing to help Wei Yongxiong? How does he plan to help?" Xu Yang inquired.

"Probably wants to mediate; if nothing goes wrong, Huang Weicheng should give you a call very soon," Ma Yangrong said.

"Okay, I’ll wait for it. Let’s see what he has to say." Xu Yang said.

The two talked a little more and then ended the call.

As soon as he hung up, his phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number, and it was from the provincial city.

"Is it Huang Weicheng calling?" Xu Yang muttered and answered the phone, "Hello?"

"President Xu, hello. I’m Huang Weicheng from the provincial city," Huang Weicheng introduced himself.

"So, it’s President Huang. What can I do for you?" Xu Yang asked indifferently.

"President Xu, what are you saying? Can’t I call you if there’s no business?"

"I have an immense admiration for your capabilities."

"In just a short year, you became a billionaire, truly an unprecedented achievement."

"I’m extremely pleased that our province has produced such an outstanding young talent like you," Huang Weicheng lavished praise in a businesslike manner.

"President Huang, you’re making me feel rather embarrassed," Xu Yang said.

"President Xu, I’m just telling the truth. Now when people speak of your renown, everyone gives a thumbs up," Huang Weicheng said.

"President Huang, I have some things to take care of. If you don’t have anything else, I’ll hang up," Xu Yang said, not wanting to listen to Huang Weicheng’s flattery.

"President Xu, I actually do have something," Huang Weicheng said.

"Go ahead," Xu Yang said.

"It’s like this, I heard that you have some conflict with Wei Yongxiong from Jiangcheng, and Wei Yongxiong has found me wanting to mediate, to talk to you and see if we can resolve the conflict between you two."

"This is what I think: we are all in the business world, where it is better to resolve enmities than to create them. If possible, I hope that you can put aside your grudges and shake hands in friendship,"

"That would be beneficial not just for you, but also for Wei Yongxiong and the business community of our province."

Huang Weicheng, seeing that Xu Yang was about to hang up the phone, stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"Mr. Huang, the issue between me and Wei Yongxiong originated from Wei Yongxiong provoking me, the root cause lies with him. The situation has escalated to a point where there is no possibility of reconciliation," Xu Yang said.

"Mr. Xu, no matter how far things have developed, there is always a possibility for reconciliation. It all depends on whether you are willing," Huang Weicheng said.

"Well, I’m not willing. Since Wei Yongxiong has done what he did, he needs to take the corresponding responsibility. If it weren’t for my capabilities, my company would probably have gone bankrupt," Xu Yang stated bluntly.

"Mr. Xu, I still hope you can consider my suggestion," Huang Weicheng’s tone was no longer as amiable.

"Mr. Huang, sorry, I really can’t consider your suggestion," Xu Yang said indifferently.

"So you mean to say you’re not giving me face?"

Huang Weicheng, being the third-richest person in the province, rarely encountered anyone who did not show him respect when he spoke.

He had mediated situations like this before, and people would always give him face.

Originally, he thought this would be an easy task.

Settling this matter would earn him a twenty percent share in Wei Yongxiong’s company.

Given the size of Wei Yongxiong’s company, a twenty percent stake was worth four billion.

This was the mediation fee Wei Yongxiong had agreed to pay him.

But unexpectedly, Xu Yang had refused.

This was tantamount to denying him a chance to make money.

Not only that, it was also a direct refusal to show him respect.

"Mr. Huang, we didn’t know each other before, and with just a phone call, you expect me to show you respect and accept a settlement. I really can’t do that. He wants to crush my real estate company, and I crush his company—it’s only fair," Xu Yang said.

"Fair, but now that I’ve intervened, let’s just let this matter go," Huang Weicheng said.

"Sorry, I can’t just let it go," Xu Yang shook his head.

"It seems you’re truly not giving me face. Do you know what the consequences of not giving me face are?" Huang Weicheng’s eyes flashed with a cold glint.

"What consequences?" Xu Yang asked with a cold laugh.

He was not afraid of Huang Weicheng, even if he was among the top three richest in the provincial city.

If Huang got involved on behalf of Wei Yongxiong, Xu Yang would not be courteous in return.

"Just wait and see, you’ll know soon enough!"

Huang Weicheng let out a cold laugh and hung up the phone.

Afterward, he immediately called Wei Yongxiong.

"Mr. Huang, how did it go? Is Xu Yang willing to reconcile?" Wei Yongxiong asked, full of hope.

If they could not reconcile, he was truly doomed.

This is also why he was willing to give Huang Weicheng twenty percent of his company shares.

In comparison with being ruined, giving away twenty percent of the shares seemed insignificant.

"He’s not willing!" Huang Weicheng said irritably.

"What, not willing? Does that mean I’m finished?" Wei Yongxiong’s head buzzed.

Today, he had been on the phone constantly, seeking help, but none of those he found were willing to lend a hand.

In the end, only Huang Weicheng was willing to help.

He had thought that with Huang Weicheng, the third-richest man in the provincial city intervening, he would be able to reconcile with Xu Yang.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang was unwilling to reconcile.

Then he really had no other option.

"Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t have any problems!" Huang Weicheng said.

"Mr. Huang, you mean..." Wei Yongxiong’s spirit was lifted.

"Hmph, that boy Xu Yang dares to refuse me, he really doesn’t know his place. If I don’t teach him a lesson, I may as well not call myself the third richest person in this city. I will make him suffer until he agrees to reconcile with you," Huang Weicheng snorted.

By doing this, he intended to get the twenty percent share of Wei Yongxiong’s company, but also to vent the frustration of being refused by Xu Yang.

"Mr. Huang, if you take action, you will definitely be able to bring Xu Yang to his knees!" Wei Yongxiong said excitedly.

It seems seeking help from Huang Weicheng was indeed the right choice.
