My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

"How much do you want? Back then you said you only wanted 200 million. He already gave that to you."

"Well, that was then, and this is now. He didn't come to kill me back then, did he? Now he wants to get rid of me after I've outlived my usefulness. So, I hope your master can give me another billion. After all, the Wu family already hates me to my core. I have no way of returning to them. When he gives me another billion, I'll consider our deal settled."

The prison guard sneered in anger. "You really know how to take an inch then ask for a mile."

"Even though I'm an orphan, I've been the young master of the Wu family for over 20 years. One billion is not a lot to me."

The prison guard pointed at Wu Zongxu's nose for a long time before he put down his arm and said, "Just you wait."

Seeing that the prison guard was about to leave, Wu Zongxu said, "No need to be anxious. Take your time discussing this with your master. Just get the kitchen to cook for me first. You swept my food to the ground. How am I supposed to eat it now? Also, I don't like the weird smell in this room. Quickly go get someone to clean up around here."

The prison guard, "..."

Wu Zongxu was probably the most arrogant suspect he had ever seen.

Not long after the prison guard left, someone else came to deliver another meal. The meal was exactly the same as before, except for the fact that it had more meat this time.

Wu Zongxu's lips curled up into a determined smile.

They wanted to fight him?

Even though he might not be a businessman, he was no less scheming than any self-respecting politician.

He had evidence against Xu Binren and Lan Weisong. He did not believe that these people could do anything to him.

Looking at the comfortable single room he was in and the sumptuous meal in front of himself, Wu Zongxu praised his genius. He was a mere orphan, yet even without the support of the Wu family, even in prison, he was taken care of. Moreover, it was two governors who were doing it.

Thinking about the second half of his career, the corners of Wu Zongxu's lips curled up into a bigger smile.

It was Wu Jingzhong who had not wanted him to pursue a career as an official. It was Wu Jingzhong who had not wanted to give him the start-up capital to start his own company. It was Wu Jingzhong who let himself down, so Wu Zongxu should not be blamed for being ruthless and not caring about their father-son relationship.

Once he had one billion yuan, the company under his name would be able to go public soon. In addition to that, Lan Weisong had let him work in the administrative office before, so he could seek benefits for his company. After that, he would only need to hire a professional manager to take care of things, and then he wouldn't have to worry about anything else again.

He thought about how in the future, he would be able to become a member of the Shi family. Even though he would only be considered a lackey, the Shi family had deep roots, and it was much better than staying with the Wu family.

The Wu family made it look like they treated him well, and they were usually good to him, but they never gave him any treats or money. To put it bluntly, he was just a pet to them. They would play with him when they were in a good mood and ignore him when they were not.

They never really treated him like family. if they did, they would not have disregarded his future as they had. They would not have let Wu Zongyang become the vice president of the group, while he only become deputy manager of a branch company. They would not have barred him from entering the family business. They would not have discouraged him from starting up his own company.

He would rather be a dog in the Shi family than be the neglected son of the Wu family!

Being the dog of an emperor was better than being the patriarch of a middle-class family.

He wanted to stand out and stand above others. Since the Wu family was unkind to him, he could not be blamed for his actions now.
