My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 806 806: What a Scheming Young Man!

Watching Chen Xuan smile without speaking and not providing a clear response, Zhang Jun and Zhang Dehou felt uneasy.

They were afraid of making Chen Xuan unhappy, bringing disaster upon the Zhang Family.

"Chen Xuan, if you don't agree, just pretend I didn't say anything." Zhang Jun forced a smile and hurriedly said.

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Since Uncle Zhang has brought it up, how could I refuse?"

"Whether considering the past friendship between our families or the familial ties with Wanxi, I can't just turn it down."

"Here's the deal, I'm sure you've heard about the Sun Family's downfall, which I orchestrated! The remaining assets of the Sun Family can be taken over by the Zhang Family."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun was instantly ecstatic, "Chen Xuan, I really can't thank you enough, I don't even know what to say."

"I toast to you! You are truly a great benefactor to the Zhang Family!"

Zhang Dehou also wore a beaming smile, feeling extraordinarily excited inside.

The Sun Family, like the Zhang Family, was also a third-tier family.

Absorbing the Sun Family's assets is tantamount to merging the Zhang and Sun families together.

Although they still couldn't compare to a second-tier family, in terms of overall strength, they would certainly be the top of the third-tier families.

Zhang Xiangyang and Zhang Yan were also quite excited; as the Zhang Family's status rose, so would theirs.

Especially Zhang Xiangyang, as the eldest son of the Zhang Family, when he went out in the future,

Young masters from third-tier families would have to greet him respectfully.

No longer able to treat him as an equal.

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "Old Master Zhang, don't get too excited just yet, I haven't finished talking."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch, and pies don't just fall from the sky. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Dehou couldn't possibly not understand the implication, he quickly said, "Whatever you want the Zhang Family to do, just say it."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "Hmm, I like dealing with smart people, so I'll be straightforward."

"Maoyuan Company has been forced to close down, but its core technology originally comes from my father's research materials."

"They are now in my hands. If your Zhang Family wants to rise to the ranks of a second-tier family, it depends on whether you have the courage to take it on."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun were both taken aback.

They didn't respond immediately but fell into deep thought.

Neither father nor son was foolish; they could naturally discern the importance of this matter.

If they took on these core technologies, the Zhang Family would undoubtedly develop rapidly, joining the ranks of second-tier families would be just around the corner.

There was no doubt about it.

But they also had to face another problem, which was that they might attract the attention of the Xu Family.

If it drew the Xu Family's attention, they might take action against the Zhang Family.

If it came to that, without any external intervention, the Zhang Family would have no way out!

On one side was the temptation of second-tier family profits, on the other was the potential threat from the Xu Family.

Neither Zhang Dehou nor Zhang Jun dared to make a decision lightly.

They had to weigh the pros and cons to avoid making a mistake that would ruin the Zhang Family.

Zhang Jun forced another smile and said, "Chen Xuan, we dare to try, but the problem is... the potential threat of the Xu Family isn't easy to handle!"

Chen Xuan sneered, "To gain benefits, you must also face crises and challenges. This is the so-called coexistence of opportunity and risk."

"If you have the guts to take it on, then be prepared to bear the risks. If you're not willing to take that risk, then don't bother talking to me about future development."

"Just keep things as they are!"

Zhang Jun bitterly smiled inwardly, cautiously asking, "Chen Xuan, let me ask you one last thing, if the Xu Family really causes trouble for the Zhang Family, you won't just sit back and watch, will you?"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "I can give you a promise: if the Xu Family takes action against you, I won't confront them directly, but I will secretly help you defend against them."

"As for whether you want to proceed with this, that's up to you. I won't force you."

Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun exchanged glances, and eventually, the father and son decided.

"Fortune favors the bold, we agree!" Zhang Jun nodded solemnly in response.

"Good."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "Tomorrow, go and reclaim the Sun Family's assets, and then I will hand over the relevant core technology information to you."

After dinner, Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi left the Zhang Family.

Lin Wanxi remained silent throughout and didn't interfere with the 'transaction' between Chen Xuan and the Zhang Family; she only acted as an observer.

She understood Chen Xuan's intention, "You're using the Zhang Family as a pawn!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "The Zhang Family's desire for greater benefits happens to provide me with convenient conditions."

"Using the Zhang Family to test the Xu Family, if necessary, stirring up the waters of Jiangnan City allows me to fish in troubled waters, hiding myself effectively."

Lin Wanxi grinned, "You're really a scheming young man!"

It wasn't meant as an insult, but rather as a compliment to Chen Xuan's very clever mind.

Next, it would be up to him to secretly manipulate the Zhang Family and stir the waters of Jiangnan City…
