Chapter 545 - 537: Jealousy (Sixteen)
"Handsome, you’ve held Niannian and Fenfen captive, and I haven’t even settled that with you, but you start snubbing me first," said Charles.
This time Charles used Mandarin, which, aside from Korea, none of the attendees understood.
Only then did Ji Chicheng lazily turn his head and respond to Charles with a disdainful smile, "Mr. Charles, Fenfen is my daughter and I haven’t accused you of abduction yet."
He tilted his chin up slightly, maintaining his usual haughtiness.
Charles smiled and reached out to pat Ji Chicheng on the shoulder, but Ji Chicheng frowned and dodged with disdain.
And he gave him a warning look.
Charles’s hand hung in the air for a moment, and then he chuckled, "I have told you before, young man, don’t be so hot-tempered. Look at your old man, with such a temper, aging yet so full of ailments."
This old rival, Ji Chicheng, couldn’t bear to look at him for a minute. His gaze coldly shifted to Korea on the other side, "Korea, this is a high-level conference between our website and H.G, and I don’t recall seeing Mr. Charles’s name on the list of shareholders of H.G. I wonder what capacity Mr. Charles has used to gain entry."
"Charles..."
Just as Korea opened his mouth to respond, Charles interrupted him, "Yes, I just came to join in the fun, listen to what’s being discussed at your meeting."
"Sorry, but this is a business secret. Please leave," Ji Chicheng said and gestured to Charles to leave.
The people present were stunned by Ji Chicheng’s attitude toward Charles.
In their country, Charles was a symbol of power and aristocracy. This capable-sounding young man was so bold as to show such disrespect to Mr. Charles.
Some were ready to jump in and scold Ji Chicheng on behalf of Charles.
But Charles raised one hand, signaling for them not to speak, then he smiled and nodded at Ji Chicheng, "Alright... I’ll leave. Don’t be so quick to anger, young fellow."
He stood up and left the conference room while speaking.
Due to Charles’s interruption, the conference did not go smoothly and ended hastily.
Ji Chicheng, along with his people, left the conference room first; the group from H.G stayed to gossip about him, which he ignored.
"Handsome, it’s lunchtime. It would be a shame not to have a meal when you’re on my turf."
Ji Chicheng had just stepped out of the door when Charles blocked him. He ignored Charles and coldly walked past him.
"Do you believe that I could have someone take Niannian and Fenfen away right now?"
Charles’s threat came from behind.
Ji Chicheng’s steps halted, and he turned around without fear, "Mr. Charles, those arms you sold to SU were all legal, weren’t they?"
Upon hearing this, Charles’s expression changed drastically, but quickly returned to normal, and he chuckled, "It seems I underestimated you, youngster."
Ji Chicheng hated how Charles, no matter what, never showed anger — giving him the feeling like not dignifying him with a response, as if he wasn’t worth noticing at all.
This was the first outsider that had ever so irritated him...
He clenched his fists tightly, glaring at Charles with a warning, "If you dare touch my people again, I won’t just sit idly by."
Charles remained calm, "Does that include Niannian?"
Before Ji Chicheng could respond, Charles slowly raised an eyebrow, "Does it include your mother’s remains?"
Ji Chicheng’s face paled instantly, staring wide-eyed at the gradually fading smile on Charles’s face.
(Some say I am greedy, I charge but also ask for Monthly Ticket. Monthly Ticket is very important for a book, which is why I plead; you may choose not to vote. The Monthly Ticket is something you get automatically from buying the book, it doesn’t cost you extra money, and of course, you can vote if you wish, but I won’t force dear readers. It’s late-night updates; eight Chapters done today, now I’ll retire to the ’dark room.’ If the Monthly Tickets exceed one hundred, I’ll update more. Kisses...)
