Guo Pincheng quickly extended his hand to shake Tang Xuewen's and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao's friends are my friends. Hello, Brother Tang."

The group entered the office, where two other people were already present.

At this moment, these two individuals had their eyes widened in shock as Ye Xiao and Tang Xuewen walked into the office.

"Mr. Cao, President Wu, long time no see!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, looking at Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen seated on the sofa.

At this time, both Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen had faces filled with anger, yet it was a kind of helpless anger!

"Cao, Wu, why not greet Brother Xiao? Such behavior is extremely impolite!" Guo Pincheng immediately scolded Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen with a glare.

Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen exchanged glances but ultimately said nothing.

At this moment, they were about to surrender the fruits of their lifelong struggles into someone else's hands. How could they possibly be cheerful? To be honest, the fact that they weren't already weeping was a testament to their strength.

"Mr. Cao and President Wu must be somewhat reluctant to see me," said Ye Xiao with a chuckle. "However, I'm here today at the invitation of the Hengzhiyuan Group. If you don't want me here, I can very well leave right now!"

Guo Pincheng, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately stared at Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen.

These two looked back at Guo Pincheng. Even though their hearts were filled with utter helplessness, they were powerless against him—at least, that was the case at this moment.

As Zhou Hao had said, Guo Pincheng was indeed a very ruthless man. At present, Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen's families were all under Guo Pincheng's control. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sitting there so obediently.

Therefore, when Guo Pincheng glared at them like that, Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen shuddered.

Cao Zhongfa hurriedly turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, we've lost, and you've won. Now all our shares are yours. If you don't want to waste time, we can sign the share transfer agreement right now."

When Cao Zhongfa spoke these words, Tang Xuewen was immediately taken aback, as he could never have imagined that Ye Xiao's business involved transferring shares.

What were shares? How could Tang Xuewen not know?

And where was this place? It was the headquarters of the Heng Zhiyuan Group—Mr. Cao, President Wu, Mr. Guo!

As a citizen of Minghai City, Tang Xuewen naturally knew who these figures were.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, at least I won't harm you!"

At Ye Xiao's words, Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen sighed. They truly had fallen into dire straits.

The share transfer agreement was already prepared, so Guo Pincheng immediately presented it with a smile to Ye Xiao. "Brother Xiao, this share transfer agreement has already been signed by them. Once you sign, it will be effective."

Ye Xiao took the share transfer agreement, gave a slight smile. It wasn't just a simple few sheets of paper; it represented the supreme authority of the Hengzhiyuan Group. Should Ye Xiao sign his name, he would then possess absolute control within the Hengzhiyuan Group, no one else could alter his decisions, for he would be the largest shareholder.

At this moment, Wu Quanen looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, now you can let my son go, right?"

"Your son?" Ye Xiao, upon hearing Wu Quanen's words, chuckled and replied, "I'm not aware of your son's whereabouts, oh right, you should ask Guo Pincheng about that, shouldn't you?"

Guo Pincheng quickly said, "Wu, did I ever say your son was with Brother Xiao? If you want to see your son, then you'd better stay in line."

Wu Quanen's shoulders immediately slumped, and he fell silent.

Ye Xiao casually skimmed through the share transfer agreement and, in a surprise gesture, handed it to Tang Xuewen who stood beside him.

Originally, Tang Xuewen thought that Ye Xiao had brought him along just to see the world—when else would he have the opportunity to witness such a scene?

After all, as the heads of the Hengzhiyuan Group, they were generally hard to approach for the average person.

But now, Ye Xiao was handing over that very share transfer agreement to him, Tang Xuewen.

"Brother Xiao?" Tang Xuewen didn't immediately take it but looked at Ye Xiao with a puzzled expression.

In fact, not only was Tang Xuewen surprised, everyone else was as well, considering the significance of the share transfer agreement.

"Sign your name!" Ye Xiao said to Tang Xuewen with a smile.

"Huh?" Tang Xuewen was genuinely startled by Ye Xiao's words. "You... are you joking?"

At this moment, Guo Pincheng also looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, this is no joking matter!"

"Hehe, why do you all feel like I'm joking? Xuewen, I hate to be troubled, so you go ahead and look after these company shares for me," said Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao said it with such ease, but everyone present, including Tang Xuewen, found it hard to accept. After all, these were shares worth over a billion yuan. Was this really something you could casually ask someone to 'look after'?

"Brother Xiao!" Tang Xuewen didn't know what to say at this point, or rather, he didn't know what to do.

Ye Xiao said, "Are you not planning to listen to me?"

"Of course, I am listening!" Tang Xuewen said.

Ye Xiao pointed to the pen on the table and said, "Sign your name. From now on, Mr. Guo will take care of the affairs of Hengzhiyuan Group. You don't need to manage it; just continue with your current work."

Tang Xuewen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and picked up the pen.

"Brother Xiao, have you really decided?" Guo Pincheng reminded Ye Xiao once again.

Ye Xiao replied, "Use people without doubt, and dispense with those you doubt. Without even that much trust, do I still deserve the title 'Brother Xiao'? Sign!"

Ye Xiao's words were indeed heavy, leaving Tang Xuewen with nothing to say. At this moment, Tang Xuewen was deeply moved; he never thought that he would be in charge of shares worth over a billion yuan so soon, let alone that managing them would mean taking over the once unattainable Hengzhiyuan Group.

Tang Xuewen knew that these shares were given to him to manage by Ye Xiao, not that they were now his. However, Ye Xiao's trust in him was still astonishing to Tang Xuewen.

Tang Xuewen wrote his name on the share transfer agreement.

Ye Xiao chuckled and then announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce someone. His name is Tang Xuewen, and he is currently the largest shareholder of Hengzhiyuan Group. I think you should call him 'Mr. Tang.'"

Tang Xuewen's heart raced, but since Ye Xiao had already warned him not to show weakness in front of others, he managed to appear quite composed.

Guo Pincheng had never expected Ye Xiao to let such a green youngster like Tang Xuewen manage so many shares; it was utterly inconceivable.

Nevertheless, Guo Pincheng quickly put on a smile and said to Tang Xuewen, "Mr. Tang, I will need your support in the future."

Guo Pincheng's words conveyed a subtle disdain, which both Ye Xiao and Tang Xuewen noticed.

Ye Xiao did not speak because he knew that Tang Xuewen would need to stand on his own in the future and could not rely on Ye Xiao to handle everything for him. So despite Guo Pincheng looking down on Tang Xuewen, Ye Xiao only smiled without speaking.

However, Tang Xuewen spoke up.

"Hehe, Mr. Guo, you jest. Hengzhiyuan Group is still under your control; I'm just helping Brother Xiao take care of these shares for the time being. I'm still a green youngster, Mr. Guo. You will have to teach me more in the future." Tang Xuewen's voice was steady, showing a nascent sense of authority.

Guo Pincheng, having seen much of the world, knew from listening to Tang Xuewen's words that this youngster would not be easy to deal with.

Guo Pincheng quickly replied, "Mr. Tang, you're too kind. We are all working for Brother Xiao after all."

Just then, Wu Quanen's eyes widened as he pointed at Guo Pincheng and said, "Guo Pincheng, the share agreement has been signed; you can let my son go now."

Guo Pincheng slowly turned his head to look at Wu Quanen, smiled faintly, and with a squint said, "Brother Wu, don't be in such a hurry. Wu Feng is my nephew, and I'll take good care of him. You don't need to worry. Look, Brother Xiao is here too. I propose we get a bottle of wine to celebrate the reforms of Hengzhiyuan Group."

It was clear that Guo Pincheng was doing this on purpose.

For Guo Pincheng, Ye Xiao, and Tang Xuewen, this was indeed a cause for celebration, but what about for Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen? For them, there was no reason to celebrate at all.

A lifetime's effort had, in an instant, become someone else's. It felt just like they had been robbed.

"Guo Pincheng, don't go too far!" Cao Zhongfa had always been the de facto leader among the four old bosses of Heng Zhiyuan, and he could not stand Guo Pincheng's gloating.

Guo Pincheng hadn't even reacted when Ye Xiao had already begun to speak with a smile.

"Mr. Guo, there's nothing left for us here. Take good care of Hengzhiyuan Group in the future. We have other matters and will be leaving now."

Immediately, Guo Pincheng said, "Brother Xiao, that wine..."

Ye Xiao looked at Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen and said, "Gentlemen, I know you've always wanted me dead. Unfortunately, heaven didn't comply with your wishes, and I am still alive, and well at that. To celebrate my being alive right now, you two drink the wine."

After speaking, Ye Xiao turned around and left the office, and naturally, Tang Xuewen followed close behind.

Ye Xiao didn't know what would happen next in this office, but one thing he did know: Cao Zhongfa and Wu Quanen, if they stayed, would only be a source of trouble.
