Chapter 075 Mo Shaocong
Chapter 075 Mo Shaocong
Once upon a time, he had visited the home of the Provincial Secretary and had proposed the idea of opening a sauna in the provincial city, only to face the vehement opposition of the Secretary, who severely reprimanded him. At that time, the Provincial Secretary's eyes looked exactly like Xiao Han's.
It should be known that the Provincial Secretary had been a high-ranking official all his life, living in luxury and commanding respect from his high position for many years. Yet Xiao Han was just a young man; how could he possibly have that kind of look in his eyes?
After a tremble ran through his body, Liu Hao soon caught his breath. When he looked into Xiao Han's eyes again, he found them gentle, devoid of the initial cold sharpness. At that moment, Liu Hao felt as if he had been dreaming.
"Xiao Han, do you realize whom you have offended?" Director Li fiercely scolded from the side.
"I don't care who you are," Xiao Han retorted dismissively, then added, "You can look down on me or despise me. But if any of you think about harming Xiaoya with your crooked ideas, I'll be the first to disagree!"
Xiao Han's words were forceful and resonant, giving an impression of unquestionable authority.
Liu Hao sneered, "Xiao Han, it's wise to leave some leeway, so we can meet again in the future. Don't you even know that? You've offended everyone here; how will you manage in the provincial city from now on?"
"Young Master Liu, the provincial city is not just for a few of you to rule!" Xiao Han replied disdainfully.
Truly speaking, Liu Hao was just someone with a powerful father. Liu Hao's father was an insider in the Provincial Committee and had extensive connections in the provincial city. It was due to these connections that Liu Hao had been able to build a company worth hundreds of millions from scratch in just a few short years.
Without his father's influence, he might never have achieved what he did in his lifetime.
"Ha ha, lad, you really don't know who Young Master Liu is, do you?" said Director Li, bursting into laughter at that moment.
"Does it matter who he is?" Xiao Han replied disdainfully.
Then President Chen spoke up, "Xiao Han, you shouldn't be too sharp. Acting like this will only lead to your downfall eventually. Let me tell you, Young Master Liu is the son of Secretary Liu from the Provincial Political and Legal Committee. Now that you've offended Young Master Liu, I'm afraid you have no future in the provincial city."
Xiao Han's heart skipped a beat.
He looked at Liu Hao in disbelief; he had not expected that this young man, who seemed to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six, was the son of a Provincial Committee leader. That was simply incredible. Had he known this earlier, Xiao Han would definitely not have burned his bridges; but now, it seemed like there was no turning back.
"Lad, finally scared, are you?" said Director Li, smiling gleefully.
"Scared?" Xiao Han was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I, Xiao Han, have never known what fear is. What does it matter if Young Master Liu is the son of Secretary Liu? I haven't offended Secretary Liu. Besides, even if I had, what of it? I don't break the law, nor do I engage in politics. I'm just a businessman trying to do business honestly."
Ha ha ha...
The crowd burst into laughter.
Liu Hao also couldn't help but laugh. However, he looked up at Xiao Han and said, "I finally understand what they mean by 'a baby calf is not afraid of a tiger'."
Everyone stood up, seven or eight people, each looking eagerly at Young Master Mo.
With their backs to the door, Xiao Han and Li Xiaoya, Li Xiaoya was curious and turned her head to see what Young Master Mo looked like, but Xiao Han had no interest and just kept eating and drinking on his own. Young Master Mo walked in slowly, smiling, "Everyone, please sit, sit, no need to be so polite. As friends of Young Master Liu, you are friends of mine, Mo Shaocong!"
"Mo Shaocong?" Xiao Han heard the name, not only did it sound familiar, but the person also seemed very familiar.
Xiao Han quickly turned his head and immediately saw the elegant Mo Shaocong. Dashing and well-dressed in a sensible suit, wearing a wine-red tie, his hair impeccable, and his face bore a faint smile. It was clear that the smile was a practiced one, a habitual smile.
"Big brother?!" Xiao Han exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Mo Shaocong. No wonder the name sounded so familiar, it turned out... he was the Mo Shaocong he had met in the Macau casino. And the two had sworn brotherhood. They were indeed very good brothers.
Mo Shaocong was startled for a moment, his customary smile suddenly became warm, and his polite look changed instantly into one of eagerness. He strode towards Xiao Han, shaking his hand excitedly and said, "Xiao Han? What are you doing in the provincial city? You rascal, you came to the provincial city and didn't even tell me a word?
Don't you consider me a brother, ignoring your big brother like this?"
Clearly, Mo Shaocong's tone was genuine, and he was sincerely reproaching Xiao Han.
In the private room, the group appeared very shocked. Liu Hao was dumbfounded, President Chen's jaw almost dropped, and Boss Li, frightened, quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hurriedly reached for the wine on the table but accidentally knocked over a glass, spilling wine all over.
Li Xiaoya also appeared surprised, but her astonishment was different from that of Liu Hao and the others. Their eyes not only held shock and disbelief but also a hint of nervousness. They had just completely offended Xiao Han, and yet, Mo Shaocong, one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital, appeared to be quite familiar with Xiao Han, seemingly having a really good relationship.
"Young Master Mo... this..." Liu Hao looked puzzled at Mo Shaocong.
"Oh, let me introduce." Mo Shaocong smiled and said, "This is my sworn brother, Xiao Han. Don't be fooled by his young age, heh heh... he's pretty amazing."
Whoosh...
The crowd suddenly buzzed with noise, Mo Shaocong and Xiao Han were sworn brothers? Things had gone too far now.
If it were just a close friend or a business acquaintance, it wouldn't matter much if they were offended. After all, Liu Hao and Mo Shaocong also had some connections. But Xiao Han being Mo Shaocong's sworn brother was a big deal.
Liu Hao's expression immediately darkened, his face nearly turning ashen.
"Young Master Liu, what's with that look?" Liu Hao curiously asked.
"I...I'm just surprised," Liu Hao hastily mustered a smile and said, "It's nothing, just didn't expect Young Master Mo and this kid to be sworn brothers. Young Master Mo, your taste... heh heh..."
Saying this, Liu Hao chuckled mysteriously.
Mo Shaocong's expression darkened as he said, "Liu Hao, what do you mean by that?"
"I... I mean nothing!" Upon hearing this, Liu Hao startled. To offend Mo Shaocong was no small matter. He had just been probing a bit, and if Mo Shaocong had not reacted, he would have probed deeper. But unexpectedly, just touching the surface had already provoked Mo Shaocong, making Liu Hao realize that Mo Shaocong indeed regarded Xiao Han as a brother.
