Chapter 1035: Chu Xiaoran was a Fat Pig
Chu Xiaoran’s company monopolized several industries and Chu Xiaoran pretty much decided the prices of all these products. Chu Xiaoran’s company set their prices rather high, which was why the higher ups wanted them to adjust those prices.
“Chairman Chu, I hope that the next time I come, the prices are already adjusted.” Ning Shu ignored Chu Xiaoran’s poor facial color and said, “Chairman Chu, please adjust the prices according to the suggested prices.”
Chu Xiaoran took the suggestion documents and glanced through them before tossing them aside. He clearly wasn’t planning to take it seriously.
Ning Shu took this in with a faint smile without saying anything. It was up to Chu Xiaoran what he wanted to do with this.
Chu Xiaoran’s act of committing tax evasion was once again publicized by the media. Chu Xiaoran’s company wasn’t the only one, other small companies were discussed as well. However, they were all very insignificant companies that didn’t attract attention, so people were more concerned about Chu Xiaoran’s company. After all, it was such a huge company.
The newspapers even requested that Chu Xiaoran adjusted the prices of several of the company’s products, especially the costs of the basic necessities.
Chu Xiaoran acted to try to stop this news from spreading, but it didn’t really work. The media continued to broadcast the news for several days before stopping.
Chu Xiaoran’s facial color was dark as he watched the news that was being played on the liquid crystal screen. He directly picked up the remote control and threw it towards the TV, making a huge crack on the screen. Xia Xiaoman who was sitting next to him was startled and asked, “Chu Xiaoran, what’s wrong?”
Chu Xiaoran turned to look at Xia Xiaoman. The dark anger in his eyes hadn’t dissipated yet. As he looked at Xia Xiaoman, he seemed abnormally demonic but also had a bewitching charm. Xia Xiaoman was frightened by his gaze.
“Humph! Of course it’s because of your old lover. He thinks that he has strong backing now and insists on competing against me.” Chu Xiaoran’s face contained contempt. “He’s trying to get revenge on me.”
Xia Xiaoman bit her lips. What was she supposed to say? She saw that Chu Xiaoran’s gaze was dark and there was a ridiculing smile on his lips.
Xia Xiaoman suddenly felt very tired. She felt like Chu Xiaoran was blaming her, but she was completely innocent. Chu Xiaoran had secretly taken pictures of her while she was unaware, then threatened her with the pictures. Due to this, she left Big Brother Wenlang who has always treated her well and endured everything.
Chu Xiaoran blamed her, Big Brother Wenlang blamed her, and her parents said that she was a disgrace. She had lost her purity and was staying by Chu Xiaoran’s side without any dignity.
Xia Xiaoman felt very tired, so she turned to go upstairs, but Chu Xiaoran abruptly stood up and walked in front of her. He towered over her as he said sharply, “What? Now that your ex-boyfriend has managed to recover, you want to go back to his side?”
Xia Xiaoman’s expression became filled with even more pain and her voice trembled as she said, “You know that this isn’t possible, so why are you still saying these things? Chu Xiaoran, can’t you stop hurting me already?”
Chu Xiaoran pressed his lips together and hugged Xia Xiaoman. He moved closed to her ear and said darkly, “If I find that you’re still longing for Xu Wenlang, I’ll kill Xu Wenlang. Xu Wenlang will die because of you.”
Xia Xiaoman trembled. She lifted her head and looked at Chu Xiaoran in shock. “Chu Xiaoran, why are you so despicable? When have I longed for Big Brother Wenlang?”
“Big Brother Wenlang? You sure call him in an intimate way,” said Chu Xiaoran coldly, then he picked Xia Xiaoman up.
Xia Xiaoman hit Chu Xiaoran in alarm. “Chu Xiaoran, you beast!”
“I must not have satisfied you enough for you to always be thinking of other things, to be thinking of other men. I’ll make sure you know who your man is, who you belong to,” said Chu Xiaoran coldly.
Xia Xiaoman’s face was so flushed that it almost looked like she had a fever. When Chu Xiaoran saw how bashful Xia Xiaoman was, a trace of gentleness flashed through his eyes, then he got started.
Ning Shu had been keeping an eye on Chu Xiaoran’s movements, but Chu Xiaoran hadn’t made any moves since she had given him the price suggestion documents. She also didn’t see him send out any instructions to adjust the price of the products.
She was a bit surprised. Did Chu Xiaoran really not care, or did he have some card up his sleeve?
Ning Shu called Chu Xiaoran to have him hurry and start working on adjusting the prices.
Chu Xiaoran directly blocked Ning Shu’s phone number so that she couldn’t get through.
Ning Shu wasn’t angry about this at all. She was waiting to see who’d win.
Chu Xiaoran didn’t make any moves, but Ning Shu wasn’t worried. In any case, all the pressure was on Chu Xiaoran. No matter what Chu Xiaoran did, his arrogance would still take a hit. Lowering the prices would definitely hurt his profits, but if he didn’t do so, that’d be challenging T City’s government.
Right now, Chu Xiaoran was a fat pig. He was fat enough and looked about to jump over the pen, so what else would the government do if not slaughter him?
Soon, Chu Xiaoran convened a press conference. At the press conference, Chu Xiaoran directly said that his company wouldn’t be producing some of the products anymore because the capital required was too high. If they adjusted the prices, the adjusted price would be too low, so they had no choice but to stop producing.
