The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 254: Support

Wei Wendong stood up at this moment, looking dignified as he said, “Although this is not a formal auction, we welcome all voluntary donations. However, twenty billion is indeed not a small sum. I think we need to verify if Mr. Xiao really has such capability.”

Once he finished, a few people below immediately echoed his sentiment.

“Twenty billion in cash, which company would keep that much in the bank? That’s a joke.”

“We should indeed verify. What if he’s a madman just here to cause trouble?”

Xiao Shun twitched his mouth, “Fine. If you want to verify, let’s all verify together. Let’s also verify whether the Wei family has 11 billion in cash.”

“How can you compare yourself with the Wei family? Who here doesn’t know about the power of the Wei family? There’s no need to question it.”

“Moreover, Chairman Wei is the head of the Wei family. Can’t he make this decision?”

At this moment, He Guangji took a sip of wine and loudly said, “Love Media is willing to vouch for Mr. Xiao. If Mr. Xiao can’t come up with the twenty billion, we will cover it for him!”

As soon as he finished, all eyes turned to He Guangji.

“What? Don’t trust me, or don’t think my Love Media can’t come up with twenty billion in cash?”

“Is Mr. He going against my Wei family?”

“I simply can’t stand watching someone bully others with his power. Besides, Mr. Xiao is my friend. I’m willing to go to great lengths for a friend,” He Guangji said. He was a cunning man. He knew that with Xiao Shun’s abilities, earning two hundred billion would be easy, let alone twenty billion. He was stepping forward to build a relationship with Xiao Shun.

As for the Wei family, as mentioned before, Love Media is a national company, a single Wei family couldn’t suppress him. He was attending out of respect for the government, not the Wei family.

“If you think Mr. He can’t come up with twenty billion, then we at Golden Holding will also vouch for Mr. Xiao,” Kou Zhengqing said.

Laughable indeed, Xiao Shun could mobilize all resources of the Old School Society as the branch head. Twenty billion; as soon as he spoke, the group would immediately prepare the funds.

“Kumi Group is also in!” Tang Shishi followed the crowd.

“We can also vouch for Mr. Xiao!”

“So can Poly Investment!”

“…”

Hearing Kou Zhengqing, the heads of several companies under the Old School Society, although not fully understanding the situation, followed suit and offered their guarantees. There was no harm in shouting along, after all, it wouldn’t really come down to them having to pay.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nearly half of the companies came forward to support Xiao Shun. The Wei family finally realized that they had lost from the start. These companies combined could easily come up with twenty billion – or even two hundred billion. What could the Wei family use to compete?

They never expected such a powerful figure to emerge from Oakland. Young and not well-known, but with such incredible energy, he could make so many famous companies prefer to offend the Wei family in order to support him.

“Let’s go!”

Wei Lun got up abruptly with a green face and walked straight out. The younger members of the Wei family followed him with faces full of dust.

Wei Wendong was filled with mixed feelings, unsure if he had won or lost.

Professionally, he had raised over twenty billion in donations, dozens of times more than previous years. But as the head of the Wei family, they had lost terribly. His nephew was humiliated, even his father was insulted. The Wei family had truly lost face.

Except for a few who knew what was going on, most people were still baffled, not knowing what had happened.

How could so many people stand by the side of a young outsider, even at the risk of offending the Wei family, deeply rooted in Harrow? Including Yao Cen, Tang Shishi, and Ding Yue.

Yao Cen only knew about Xiao Shun’s relationship with Kumi Group and probably with Love Media as well, but these were not enough reasons for such strong support. After all, there was no need to offend one family for the sake of another.

Tang Shishi looked at Xiao Shun with a touch of admiration.

His original identity had already aroused considerable interest in him; a son-in-law who came to the door, a doctor, a chairman, a boss…

Now, witnessing this scene, she suddenly realized that she had underestimated him.

Twenty billion would require careful consideration even in the Tang family, but this guy threw it out without even blinking…

Ding Yue was a bit more composed. She trusted her intuition and from their interactions over the last couple of days, she got a sense that Mr. Xiao was not a simpleman.

The auctioneer on stage was still stunned, hesitating to drop the hammer.

Auctioning off a piece of stone for twenty billion would be a notable highlight in his career. Who would believe it when he told the story?

It wasn’t until Wei Wendong signaled him that he continued to announce with a trembling voice, “Twenty billion once!”

“Twenty billion twice!”

“Twenty billion thrice!”

Bang!

“Sold!”

When the dust settled, Xiao Shun also breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, there were no experts here; otherwise, he would have been in trouble.

He had nearly thirty billion on his account now, given by Yuxu. After paying the Sikong family, he still had over twenty billion, so he didn’t need to touch the money from Yao Cen yet.

The money he could use at most was fifty billion now. Although he could use the money from He Guangji, or even from the Old School Society, it wasn’t his own, which made him feel indebted.

It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to make some quick money again. If he encountered something good and didn’t have money to buy it, it would be awkward.

“Ding, go get the stone I bought,” Xiao Shun said with a grin.

After Ding Yue agreed and ran to get the stone, Yao Cen gave him a white look, “I don’t understand you, so happy to buy a stone for twenty billion.”

“You women also want to buy nice bags when you see them, right?” Xiao Shun laughed.

“Is there a bag worth twenty billion?” Yao Cen retorted.

Tang Shishi was admiring Yao Cen a little.

If it were any other woman, their man spending twenty billion on a stone would at least lead to a quarrel, if not a fight.

Yao Cen just lightly complained, indeed, birds of a feather flock together.

Little did she know, Yao Cen’s demeanor was also due to her past thrilling experiences.

At this time, He Guangji and Kou Zhengqing came over, one after the other.

The auction had now ended, marking the completion of the event. Most of the other people at the table had left, and the few who remained gave up their seats to the two big figures and moved to the side.

“Mr. Xiao, what a spirit you have,” He Guangji smiled.

Kou Zhengqing was a bit more formal, “Mr. Xiao.”
