Chapter 381 If One is Poached from Me, I Lose
Jiang Yuheng glanced at him and sneered, "We're talking here, so why didn't your Uncle Hai listen to you and go mess with Xu Yang's Valor Combat Club?"
Suddenly, Pan Junbin's smile stiffened, and then he said fiercely, "Don't be smug, just wait until my brother Yang gets here, then you'll have plenty to cry about!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Jiang Yuheng's face froze.
He knew that Pan Junbin was referring to Yang Yaowen, and he was aware of Yang's impressive influence.
Coming back to his senses, he couldn't help saying, "What are you joking about? How would someone like Young Master Yang get involved in your affairs?"
Pan Junbin was very pleased with Jiang Yuheng's reaction, and said with a chuckle, "Sorry, but I'm quite close with Brother Yang. When I'm bullied, Brother Yang will take it upon himself to make the offender pay."
By the end of his statement, his gaze fell upon Xu Yang's face, intending to see the latter look scared and fearful.
After all, that was Yang Yaowen, the son of one of the eight great families in the provincial city, and the one who could chat and laugh with the older generation effortlessly.
Xu Yang listened, could he not be afraid?
However, the situation Pan Junbin hoped for did not occur.
Far from showing any fear or panic, Xu Yang even revealed a faint smile.
At this moment, Pan Junbin couldn't hold back anymore, "What does that smile mean? Are you looking down on my Brother Yang?"
Jiang Yuheng, thinking Xu Yang was unaware of who Yang Yaowen was, whispered from the side, "Xu Yang, this Yang Yaowen is really formidable; the Yang family is one of provincial city's eight great families, and he himself is highly capable. He practically controls half of the Yang family now, very different from other family heirs."
Xu Yang still smiled faintly and said, "It's fine."
"Alright, then." Jiang Yuheng didn't know what else to say.
Truth be told, he didn't understand where Xu Yang's confidence came from.
At this moment, a voice echoed from above, "I've heard that the owner of Bottom of the River has arrived and has even had a conflict with Pan Junbin. What a surprise."
Looking up, Xu Yang saw a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed in a refined casual suit, holding a glass of champagne in his right hand, looking down at the crowd with a light smile, as if he were a ruler.
Jiang Yuheng quickly poked Xu Yang's arm and whispered, "That's Yang Yaowen."
Xu Yang nodded and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Yang Yaowen smiled slightly, "I've heard your investment returns are astonishing, and you never lose. I'd like to make friends with you, maybe have a chat upstairs?"
After a moment of thought, Xu Yang nodded and headed to the second floor.
But as he was about to reach the second floor, two towering hulk-like men blocked his way at the staircase.
Seeing this, Yang Yaowen showed no intention of telling the hulks to make way, instead he watched Xu Yang with a mocking expression.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Now Xu Yang obviously wouldn't be able to get up there.
If he simply walked back downstairs, he would definitely lose face completely.
Xu Yang hadn't expected Yang Yaowen to play such a move on him.
Witnessing this scene, Pan Junbin burst into laughter, "Hahaha, what a joke! You don't even take a look at what status you have. Do you think you're worthy to go upstairs and chat with my Brother Yang? Even if he allowed you upstairs, you couldn't make it, hahaha!"
He laughed wildly, unrestrainedly.
In this moment, he felt that all the humiliation Xu Yang had dealt him with those two slaps had been washed away.
Xu Yang looked towards Yang Yaowen and said, "Are these your men?"
Yang Yaowen smiled, "Yes, but they hardly ever listen. Hey, you guys, move aside, let him come up."
The two hulks didn't move an inch.
Obviously, this was Yang Yaowen's deliberate plan, just to make Xu Yang lose face.
"Hahaha, Xu Yang, why the hell don't you go up? In front of my Brother Yang, you're nothing. Get down here and kneel before me, give yourself two hundred slaps, and maybe I'll put in a good word for you, letting Brother Yang let you go upstairs, hahaha!" Pan Junbin laughed wildly once again, without any inhibitions.
Xu Yang disregarded Pan Junbin, and continued to look at Yang Yaowen, suddenly revealing a smile, "Since they don't listen to you, from now on, they are no longer your men."
Yang Yaowen's eyebrows raised, "What, you want to poach them? Alright, go ahead and try. If you manage to take even one, I'll concede defeat!"
These two hulks were bodyguards he had hired, both former special forces operators.
He paid them handsomely, three million a year for each.

Moreover, when signing contracts, it's always for ten years, totaling seventy-two million.
And such people have their own principles and are very loyal.
Poaching them won't be easy, I fear even doubling the price wouldn't work.
In Yang Yaowen's eyes, no matter what method Xu Yang used, poaching them was out of the question.
Xu Yang turned to the two towering bodyguards and said, "You probably don't want to be bodyguards for others your whole lives, do you?"
The two men didn't speak.
Xu Yang continued, "You know about Fengyun Fighting, right?"
The two men were taken aback.
Of course, they knew about Fengyun Fighting.
It is a nationwide fighting brand, the organizer and sponsor of major domestic fighting competitions, and the company with the most contracted fighters in the country.
Almost every boxing industry agent in the country has some sort of relationship with Fengyun Fighting, be it big or small.
They were retired special forces soldiers, and their first thought after retirement was to start boxing and become professional boxers.
After all, people like them find it hard to adapt to a regular office life.
They still preferred a life of fighting and combat.
They also successfully entered Fengyun Fighting, dreaming of becoming boxers and making a name for themselves.
But after joining, they found that Fengyun Fighting wouldn't nurture them; they saw no hope of standing out.
Having no choice, they had to leave Fengyun Fighting and work as bodyguards outside, planning to do so for a decade, save some money, and then start a small business to spend the rest of their lives.
Xu Yang saw what they were thinking and suddenly laughed, "If you go to Fengyun Fighting now, I guarantee they will focus on developing you. As long as you have real skills, you can become boxing champions of Huaxia, and they might even push you to international levels to spar with international boxers."
One towering bodyguard said, "How do we know what you're saying is true and not just a scam to fool us?"
Clearly, they were tempted, otherwise, they wouldn't have asked such a question.
It's said that to inquire is to show intent to purchase, and this saying applies here as well.
This question is also necessary.
They wouldn't just leave based on Xu Yang's word and go to Fengyun Fighting.
Who knew if Xu Yang was deceiving them?
It's true that they wanted to box and spar with international boxers.
But they weren't fools and wouldn't make an impulsive decision based on Xu Yang's word to rush to Fengyun Fighting.
"I can prove it," Xu Yang took out his phone and dialed a number.
Soon the call connected.
"President Xu, hello," the person on the other end of the line was Han Zhenlin, the president of Fengyun Fighting.
By acquiring Ding Dashan's shares, Xu Yang had become a shareholder of both the Brave Fighters Club and Fengyun Fighting.
As the president of Fengyun Fighting, it was natural to be aware of the shareholders.
About Xu Yang's status, Han Zhenlin reported to the Western Gambling Company, which held control over Fengyun Fighting.
The Western Gambling Company's bigwigs were very pleased with Xu Yang becoming a shareholder of Fengyun Fighting.
After all, Xu Yang was someone who might become the richest man in Huaxia or even the world.
This was highly beneficial for them in tapping into the Huaxia market.
Thus, they instructed the president of Fengyun Fighting to form a good relationship with Xu Yang and to do well in managing Fengyun Fighting's affairs.
Therefore, the president of Fengyun Fighting dared not slight Xu Yang in any way.
He called Xu Yang right away and the two had a long chat.
He also planned to find time to visit Xu Yang in Jiang City personally.
