My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 814: Serving the Monarch Is Like Serving a Tiger

Chen Xuan flicked his ash and chuckled lightly. "It's simple. It just depends on whether you've got the guts to do it."

Zhang Jun couldn't wait to speak. "Chen Xuan, just say it. What do you want us to do?"

"You're coming with me to the Xu Family at noon today."

Chen Xuan said softly, "I'll tell you what to do. Do you dare go to the Xu Family?"

Zhang Jun's eyes flickered. He hesitated for three seconds, then made up his mind. "There's nothing I don't dare!"

"I'll go to the Xu Family with you, no problem!"

"Good, then I'll give you a quick rundown. We'll head to the Xu Family in a bit."

Chen Xuan roughly explained the plan. "Got it memorized?"

Zhang Jun nodded solemnly. "I've got it all down. I guarantee there won't be any problems."

Chen Xuan checked the time. It was just after nine, not even ten yet, so there was no rush to go to the Xu Family right now.

"Oh right, didn't you call me two days ago saying you wanted Zhang Yan to marry Zhu Feng? How are things progressing between them now?"

Chen Xuan asked in a low voice.

Zhang Jun gave a dry laugh. "I haven't really asked about the details. Yan'Er should have gotten back in touch with Zhu Feng."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly. "I won't interfere too much in this matter. If the two of them have no objections, so much the better."

"If Zhang Yan no longer has eyes for Zhu Feng now, that's fine too. As long as this matter is done properly, I can consider finding her a better family."

Hearing this, Zhang Jun immediately cupped his hands in thanks. "Chen Xuan, I really don't know how to thank you. I don't even know what to say."

Chen Xuan waved his hand with a smile. "No need to thank me. I'm only doing this as part of a deal with your Zhang Family."

"You work for me, and I should give you the corresponding reward. The better you perform, the higher the reward will be."

At this point, his tone suddenly shifted, and he sneered. "By the same token, if your performance isn't good enough, or something goes wrong in the middle…"

"You won't just get nothing—you'll have to pay the price for it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Jun gave a dry smile. "I understand, I understand. I'll do my utmost. I don't dare slack off in the slightest."

Zhang Dehou could only laugh bitterly to himself. Working with Chen Xuan was truly like serving a monarch—like serving a tiger.

Even the slightest mistake, and the Zhang Family would be doomed forever.

They couldn't afford to let their guard down!

After a few casual exchanges, it was already past ten.

"That's about it. Let's head over to the Xu Family now." Chen Xuan crushed out his cigarette, stood up, and walked outside.

Zhang Jun hurriedly followed, and the two of them left the Zhang Family compound one after the other.

Before long, they arrived at the gate of the Xu Family.

This time, Zhang Jun had come with the intent to seek peace. Chen Xuan was acting as Zhang Jun's bodyguard to conceal his identity.

"Remember, don't slip up." Chen Xuan gave a final reminder.

Zhang Jun nodded solemnly, walked up to the Xu Family gate, and handed over his visiting card.

The servant immediately delivered it to Housekeeper Xu, who took the card and went to the main hall.

"Master, the Zhang Family's eldest young master, Zhang Jun, has come to pay his respects." Housekeeper Xu reported.

Xu Cailiang gave a cold, mirthless smile. "It's definitely Zhang Dehou who sent him over to beg our Xu Family for mercy."

"If we don't give them a bit of color to see, they'll never know how formidable our Xu Family is!"

Xu Jinglong waved his hand lightly. "Let him in. Let's see what he wants to say."

"Yes, sir." Housekeeper Xu withdrew from the hall.

Very soon, Zhang Jun walked into the hall, with Chen Xuan following behind him in silence.

"Greetings, Patriarch Xu, Young Master Xu." Zhang Jun bowed and offered his respects.

Xu Jinglong's face was expressionless, and he didn't even offer him a seat. He asked coldly, "What exactly have you come to my Xu Family for this time?"

Zhang Jun forced a dry smile. "Master Xu, I came specially to explain the misunderstanding to you."

"That technical data was indeed given to me by Chen Tiangong. It wasn't taken from Maoyuan Company. Please, Master Xu, see this clearly."

Xu Jinglong let out a disdainful cold laugh. "I don't care how that technical data in your hands came about. I have only one thing to say."

"Stop using it, and voluntarily hand over the technical data to the Xu Family, and we can spare your Zhang Family this once."

Xu Cailiang immediately added, "But if you don't know what's good for you and refuse to comply, then your Zhang Family has only one path left—death!"
