Chapter 2256 - 2457: Don't Go Too Far!!!

However, the land was already bought, and at this time, Zhang Hu came out to create trouble, using some unknown means, and then offering a high price to buy that piece of land. The land was originally not very useful, not very valuable, but Shu Ya bought it.

Since Shu Ya bought it, its value naturally doubled, because this piece of land is not just used to build a sizeable mall, it also won't lack surrounding supporting facilities, or more specifically, this place was initially barren land without much value.

However, as long as one or two years are spent, Shu Ya can transform it into a bustling commercial area attracting a large flow of people, and by then, not only will commerce be flourishing, the crowds will be huge, whether it be market prospects or commercial value, they will all go up.

Yet at this moment, Zhang Hu came out to buy the most crucial piece of land at a high price. This means the other land Shu Ya bought is essentially useless, otherwise developing it would be paving the way for Zhang Hu, making it that the Jiangshan they built with much effort ends up being for someone else's wedding gown.

Originally meant for the development of their own company group, but now with Zhang Hu having bought it, even if the surrounding supporting facilities are developed, it will be merely a backdrop for Zhang Hu, a tool for him to earn money. Don't be tricked by Zhang Hu's brutish appearance, as he has an extremely sharp business sense when it comes to this.

This news hasn't even spread yet, only buying such a large piece of land attracted a lot of attention and spread. Unexpectedly, he sensed the business opportunity within and carried out such an unethical act.

No wonder Shu Ya was so angry, she rushed over, furious after receiving the call, to confront Zhang Hu. But Zhang Hu himself is a brute, not inclined to reason, stating the land was bought at a high price and refusing to transfer it to her.

Although Zhang Hu's company hasn't been founded for long, fortunately, it's growing rapidly, and under his leadership, it became a prominent enterprise in Huaxia within a few years. It's enough to rival the Shu Ya Group's division in Huaxia. Of course, it's still not comparable to the Shu Ya Group.

But here, after all, it's just a branch, plus the main company is in Huaxia, where the sky is high and the Emperor far away, intending to intimidate Zhang Hu is impossible. Zhang Hu stood firm with his momentum that wasn't inferior to Shu Ya Group's Huaxia division, and he looked down on Shu Ya. Shu Ya naturally wasn't having it, not intimidated.

If she hadn't brought few people, given her temperament, she would've wrecked here. But she came hastily after receiving the call, so she wasn't prepared, only coming along with Zhang Ting. The momentum gradually rose as they talked, neither side yielding.

Zhang Hu, occupying his territory, wasn't afraid, summoning a large group of security guards, saying he would teach Shu Ya a lesson.

Although seemingly security guards, everyone knows what Zhang Hu raises them for, given how he develops and climbs ranks, everyone has witnessed it, so they generally know what's going on. If ordered to attack, they certainly wouldn't hold back.

Zhang Hu has done such things many times, wielding his fists to intimidate countless people.

Earlier, Feng Xiao had sensed the situation wasn't right and immediately left the crowd to call Hao Jian for help. With tensions high, if anything erupts, Shu Ya's side will likely suffer, hence waiting for Hao Jian.

Calling Hao Jian was a secret only known to Feng Xiao; he couldn't tell Shu Ya in front of so many people, and Shu Ya didn't know Hao Jian had arrived.

Because of this matter, Shu Ya was very angry, known for not admitting defeat, especially considering Zhang Hu's stance, having cornered her severely, she wouldn't back down, showing even less fear. Having followed Hao Jian for such a long time, she's witnessed all sorts of situations, much greater ones too, naturally indifferent to such a small scene, wearing an unconcerned expression.

"Zhang Hu! Let me repeat, don't go too far as some things might be beyond what you can bear," Shu Ya said with a strong presence.

Zhang Hu, entirely dismissive, sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, wearing a gold necklace on his neck. Others might wear fake ones, but his was genuine, making him feel superior, mighty, difficult for ordinary people to gain his favor.

He dismissively said, "I bought the land at a higher price. If you can offer more, go ahead. Business has its rules, what's excessive, you came rushing here asking for land without offering a dime, isn't that more excessive?"

His words were blunt, making Shu Ya feel uncomfortable. Clearly trying to extort money from her, either by buying the land back at a higher price, though he's unlikely to lower it, making it impractical, as the company needs to focus on profitability.

Otherwise, he occupies that land while Shu Ya Group's division becomes his profit tool. A win-win, his strategy ensured profit without loss, while Shu Ya Group incurs losses, demonstrating a brilliant move.

Shu Ya wouldn't compromise or let him gain a penny, keeping her ground led to this confrontation. Her visit aimed for Zhang Hu to return the land to her, but naturally, Zhang Hu wouldn't give up easily.

Shu Ya suddenly turned to Zhang Ting, asking, "Zhang Ting, how much shares do we hold in their company?"

Upon hearing, Zhang Ting quickly checked her tablet, saying, "President Shu, about twenty percent."

Zhang Hu heard and frowned, unaware twenty percent of his listed company's shares were held by Shu Ya, without any indication, leaving him shocked.

Realizing Shu Ya had some cards up her sleeve, surprising him with her strength. Though he remained composed, aware of Shu Ya Group's international influence and the project's potential profit, which was why he faced off with such a big international company.

The stakes were ample enough for him to take this risk despite the twenty percent shares. Calmly, he directly stated, "President Shu, you don't think twenty percent shares can make me retreat, right? Though owning twenty percent, you can't shake me, but I can make you…"

His words trailed off there. With her experiences, Shu Ya remained calm instead of lashing out. Zhang Ting and Feng Xiao's expressions darkened, having accompanied Shu Ya to Huaxia, aware she aimed to complete the project, otherwise, she wouldn't personally oversee things given her position as the company's Chairman and General Manager.

They witnessed Shu Ya working late, busy and tired, deeply empathetic knowing her anger equated to their anger.

Feng Xiao pointed at Zhang Hu, saying, "You're going too far!"

Zhang Hu disregarded Feng Xiao, dismissively saying, "Adults are talking, kid, don't interrupt, or I'll beat you!"

Feng Xiao showed no fear, glaring angrily at him.

At that moment, Shu Ya raised her hand to intervene, standing up, drawing everyone's attention, curious and puzzled about her intent, Zhang Hu included.

Shu Ya gradually stood, picked up untouched champagne from the table, carrying it to Zhang Hu. Before the crowd, she lifted the glass and splashed the champagne on Zhang Hu, soaking his face and clothes.

The entire crowd, initially stunned, then reacted with shock.

Nobody expected Shu Ya's actions, splashing champagne on Zhang Hu, signifying complete fallout, disregarding Zhang Hu entirely.

Indeed, if truth be told, Shu Ya was Shu Ya Group's leader, Zhang Hu didn't qualify for business talks with her, and if Zhang Hu hadn't strangled her this time, he wouldn't have the chance to converse with her.

Yet now, she exuded nobility and an untouchable presence.

Calmly, she opened her mouth, imposing as she said, "This splash is merely to wake you up, you're not qualified to challenge me!"

"Haha…" Zhang Hu laughed unexpectedly.

When the champagne splashed on him, he didn't immediately react, and after realizing, it had already happened, his expression turned grim as he laughed.
