"Remarkable? Let me tell you, a net worth of hundreds of billions is indeed remarkable. Even in the provincial capital, it's a prominent corporation!"
"However, it doesn't quite rank among global enterprises. But what about you? You merely own a small company, what right do you have to say such things?" Liu Mei said.
Sheng Tian Company, placed in the provincial capital, was indeed not a big deal.
Judging by the current trend, it would rapidly grow and expand.
Chen Jie smiled and asked, "May I ask, Brother Zhang, how long did it take for your company to grow to its current standing from scratch?"
Liu Mei's brow furrowed, but she still replied, "Ten years."
"Ten years to earn a hundred billion? Then do you know how long it took for my company to reach its current assets of two billion?" Chen Jie retorted.
Sheng Tian Company possessed the Hundred Illness Invincibility Pill and protective talismans. These two items alone were worth two billion.
And that was just on paper.
Chen Jie could create a permanent protective talisman at any time and sell it for over a hundred million at an auction.
He simply didn't wish to do so.
"One month!"
Before they could speak, Chen Jie declared, "In just one month, I've built my company to a valuation of two billion. And do you know how many people are willing to pay top dollar for my company's technology?"
"Some are offering hundreds of billions!"
"In the future, my company's asset growth will only accelerate. In less than a year, its assets will exceed one hundred billion."
"What comparison is there between the wealth you've accumulated over ten years and my assets from just one month?"
"Furthermore, I also possess the Yang family's industries! And the Su family's industries! These assets alone are worth over forty billion! What can you possibly compare with me?" Chen Jie said dismissively.
The twenty billion check he gave to the Yang family had already been returned.
The Yang family had assets of ten billion, and the annihilated Su family also had ten billion!
Chen Jie wasn't exaggerating at all.
"Hmph!"
Liu Mei snorted. Her argument indeed seemed to falter.
For a moment, she was unable to refute him.
Becoming enraged, she pointed at Chen Shu angrily, "You, you little brat! I say a couple of things to you, and you're not only not humble, but you dare to retort? Get out of here, my family doesn't welcome a poor boy like you with his head in the clouds!"
"Sister-in-law!" Zhang Xinyan cried out angrily.
"Do you think I want to be here? What Zhang Xinyan and I are is none of your business! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have come at all!"
"Zhang Xinyan, let's go! If your brother ever forces you to do anything, I'll help you resolve it."
Chen Jie said impolitely.
"Zhang Cheng, did you hear that? Your sister found such an ill-mannered man? It's a disgrace to the family, a disgrace! Hurry up and tell him to get out!" Liu Mei said furiously to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng remained silent throughout.
It seemed he tacitly agreed with Liu Mei's words.
Zhang Xinyan saw all of this.
"Fine, if you don't welcome us, then we'll leave!" Zhang Xinyan took Chen Jie's hand and moved to leave.
"Stop. Xinyan, I told him to leave, not you! What are you getting involved in this for?" Liu Mei said.
"Heh heh, Chen Jie is my boyfriend. Did you ask for my opinion before kicking my boyfriend out?" Zhang Xinyan said with a cold smile.
"Little sister..." Zhang Cheng called out.
"There's no need to say more. I won't do as you wish! Give up on that idea!" Zhang Xinyan said.
As the two were about to leave, a servant outside announced, "From the Liu family, Liu Feilong has arrived!"
At this moment, a young man in luxurious clothing, flanked by several bodyguards, entered.
This was the eldest young master of the Liu family, Liu Feilong.
"Ah, Feilong is here, we were all waiting for you." Upon seeing him, Liu Mei excitedly went to greet him.
"Sister, Brother-in-law, has the girlfriend you introduced to me arrived?" Liu Feilong looked around as soon as he entered.
Soon, his gaze fell upon Zhang Xinyan.
Liu Feilong's eyes immediately lit up.
He lecherously approached Zhang Xinyan, "You must be Brother-in-law's sister, right? I saw you in photos long ago, but I never expected you to be even more beautiful in person! I'm very satisfied with you, hahaha... When you marry me, our Liu and Zhang families will be even more closely connected!"
"Yes, I think Xinyan and my younger brother are simply a match made in heaven."
Liu Mei said with a smile, right in front of Chen Jie.
Chen Jie's expression turned cold.
They completely disregarded his status as Zhang Xinyan's boyfriend!
Although he was merely pretending to be Zhang Xinyan's boyfriend, he could not tolerate such blatant humiliation.
Thinking this, Chen Jie sneered, scooped up Zhang Xinyan, and kissed her red lips directly.
"Mmm..."
Zhang Xinyan was completely caught off guard by Chen Jie's actions and was stunned.
Then, Chen Jie released Zhang Xinyan and said, "Xinyan, who is this idiot? Knowing you have a boyfriend, he still wants to marry you?"
"Chen Jie..."
Zhang Xinyan's pretty face blushed. Suddenly, she felt all her unhappiness vanish.
"You brat, how dare you!" Liu Mei suddenly roared furiously.
"You damn..."
A rage surged through Liu Feilong's head. He pointed at Chen Jie's face, "Who the hell do you think you are, you scumbag! You garbage, how dare you kiss my fiancée! Who the hell gave you the guts! You're looking for death!"
He was so angry he felt like he was about to spit blood.
This wasn't just about losing face; the offense of having his fiancée stolen was akin to his parents being murdered. And worse, Chen Jie had kissed his most perfect fiancée right in front of him!
It was practically an open insult.
As Liu Mei's brother, he was destined to become a president with hundreds of billions in net worth. How could he be humiliated like this?
He immediately said angrily to Zhang Xinyan, "Xinyan, come here quickly! I'm going to kill this kid to avoid accidentally hurting you!"
"I think you're the one looking for death!"
Managing family businesses alone, Zhang Xinyan was not one to fear trouble.
She immediately retorted, "He's my boyfriend, what's wrong with him kissing me? You dare to threaten to kill him? You're the one looking for death!"
"You, what did you say? This penniless bum is your boyfriend?"
"That's right, he's my real fiancé!"
Saying this, Zhang Xinyan turned her head and kissed Chen Jie fiercely on the cheek.
Then she looked at Liu Feilong and said, "Who do you think you are, daring to have designs on me? I'd rather be played by Chen Jie till I'm worn out than give you a second glance!"
*Poof...*
Liu Feilong was struck as if by lightning.
It was one thing for Chen Jie to kiss his intended fiancée in front of him, but now his own fiancée was kissing another man in front of him.
If this were to get out, wouldn't he be laughed at?
"Given how perfect you look, I'll forgive your betrayal just this once, but I hope there won't be a next time! Attack! Beat this ignorant trash to death who dared to have designs on my wife!"
Liu Feilong immediately roared.
