1006: Chapter 107: This is a Total Victory!
After so many years of marriage to Zhang Fei, as his wife, she had never seen him so desperate.
His eyes wore a gray expression, utterly lifeless.
“Old Zhang, don’t be like this!”
His wife cried.
“No, listen to me, I’ve come to understand, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down!”
Zhang Fei sighed and said, “Do those bastards think cutting ties with me is the end?
A bunch of stupid pigs, if the Zhang Family falls, do they think they will be unscathed?
Sooner or later, they will end up like me, no, they will only end up worse!”
“You’ve managed to see this much, at least you’re not completely foolish.”
Xiao Chen said with a smile as he walked in.
“What are you doing here!”
Zhang Fei’s face looked somewhat ugly, “I hate them, and I equally hate you.
If it wasn’t for you, how would my Zhang Family have fallen to this?
Just leave.
Even if I end up in prison, I will have nothing to do with you!”
“Old Zhang, Mr.
Xiao is a good man!”
Zhang Fei’s wife said.
“Has he bought you off too?”
Zhang Fei angrily said.
“How can you say such things?
Do you know how the people from Hao League treated us after you were caught?
Assassination!
Assassination, I tell you!
Many from the Zhang Family have already died.
If it weren’t for Mr.
Xiao, my child and I would have been killed too.
Wake up.
You made a mistake and got punished, but it also caused the whole family to suffer with you.
Does your conscience allow you to live with that?”
Zhang Fei’s wife was also furious and yelled.
“I—”
Zhang Fei slumped into his chair.
The Zhang Family once engaged in legitimate business, but he was envious, envious of others making a fortune from counterfeit goods, thus he set off on this point of no return.
“You are right to hate me, but you should hate those people more.
At least I never harmed your family; instead, I protected them.”
Xiao Chen said lightly, smiling, “Of course, I’m not that kind-hearted.
If you want your family to be safe and not pursued by the Hao League, you must eliminate the Hao League.
You know what I want from you.”
Zhang Fei sat there, head bowed in deep thought.
Xiao Chen didn’t disturb him further.
He also sat waiting.
After a long time, Zhang Fei finally lifted his head and said, “I’ve stored the item in a bank safe deposit box, the code is the last six digits of my wife’s phone number.
Let my wife take you, and you can retrieve it.”
“Rest assured, I’m a man of my word.
As long as the item you provide proves to be authentic, I guarantee your wife and child will be safe under my protection.
Of course, the premise is that they don’t turn bad or bear ill intentions towards me, otherwise I am not someone who shows mercy.”
Xiao Chen said lightly.
“Don’t worry, my son doesn’t have the guts.”
Zhang Fei said.
“That’s settled then, I’ll take my leave!”
Xiao Chen got what he wanted from the bank’s safe deposit box, which was Zhang Fei’s private vault.
Located within the World Unionpay, the safest place in the world.
Not just that, but also some confidential documents from the Hao League.
The main thing Xiao Chen wanted was these documents, to use them in the future to overthrow the Hao League.
Xiao Chen checked Zhang Fei’s private vault; this guy had definitely lined his own pockets, turning the Zhang Family’s money into his personal wealth.
Otherwise, how could his account possibly contain a whopping fifty billion US dollars.
And that’s in US dollars.
Xiao Chen thought for a moment, then took out all fifty billion.
This money, much of it ill-gotten by the Zhang Family.
Taken from the people, it naturally should be used for the people.
But how to use it, that was the question; you can’t just hand out money directly.
That would be too bizarre, and it would only encourage laziness.
So, Xiao Chen set aside a portion of funds to build welfare projects in Jincheng and Xiongcheng City.
These included dozens of communities.
The housing prices were even lower than those of the welfare projects, yet the quality was very high.
These houses were not intended for sale to the public, rather, they were to be sold to those who had been harmed by Zhang Family’s counterfeit drugs.
And those who had made outstanding contributions in various fields.
Xiao Chen preferred to aid those with ability and diligence rather than just give out poverty relief.
You can lack ability, but you cannot be lazy.
These were the people he truly wanted to help.
These dozens of communities were just a small part.
There were plans to build schools, establish scholarships, and more.
And, to develop the medical industry of Dragon Country,
Xiao Chen decided to increase Xinmeng Medical Prize’s prize money from the previous hundred million to one billion now.
Greatly rewarding those who struggled for the medical cause.
At the same time, an Intractable Diseases Research Laboratory was established within Xinmeng Group which might not generate any income.
It was all investment.
But Xiao Chen had seen too many people dying of diseases.
He wanted to do his modest part.
Besides, it wasn’t his money he was spending, so it didn’t pain him.
Even so, there was still a lot of money left.
He divided it into two parts, one donated to the government to improve infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for the people.
Of course, this money definitely had to be monitored.
The money he gave couldn’t be embezzled by some.
The other part was given to both Xinmeng Group’s Social Welfare Department and the Xiao Family Foundation.
To conduct systematic charity work.
He was too lazy to manage it himself.
He didn’t keep a single cent for himself.
But he did leave some for Zhang Fei’s wife and son, about ten million.
Enough for them to live comfortably for a lifetime, though they could not splurge as before.
This series of acts of kindness greatly boosted the reputation of Xinmeng Group and Jiangnan Xiao Family.
Wherever they went, they were the most welcomed by the common people on the streets and their products sold very well.
Not only medicines but also milk powder, cars, computer chips, etc., all saw significant increases.
It was a complete victory!
The bold actions of Xinmeng Group truly shocked the Capital Prefecture, indeed the entire north was stunned.
The Zhang Family just fell like that.
Although there was no evidence to prove it was Xinmeng Group’s doing, anyone with a brain could figure it out.
It must be Xinmeng Group and Jiangnan Xiao Family that took down the Zhang Family.
But were they really that powerful, or perhaps it was the hand behind them that started to take action?
At this time, in Capital City’s Xiao Family.
Xiao Enze and Ye Jianguo sat at a small table drinking alcohol.
Ye Jianguo did not look like a big boss at all, sitting on a small stool, his face flushed red with drink.
“How delightful, my good teacher was so impressive, so easily handling the arrogant Zhang Family whom even top Aristocratic Clans like ours didn’t want to bother with.”
Ye Jianguo remarked.
“You guys think too much, not as simple and direct as my son!”
Xiao Enze was very pleased.
Not only because his son was capable, but also because his son’s actions really made him incredibly proud.
“That’s true, we consider too much, too many constraints.”
Ye Jianguo lamented, “It should have been done like this long ago, the entanglements between interest groups have hurt the interests of the common people, yet no one took care of it.
Everyone maintained a tacit understanding, ‘You don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke you’, only Xiao Chen dared to commit the act of defiance against the world.”
