Qin Ming arrived back on campus. He had wanted to look for Nie Haitang at the badminton club, but was held up by the incident with Bai Yuchun. When he arrived at the badminton court, no one was playing. Instead, people were surrounding Nie Haitang. He walked closer to hear everyone comforting Nie Haitang. “Don't worry, Haitang. Your family is rich and you have so many connections. All this shall pass quickly.” “Yeah! No family is perfect, anyway.” “Don't worry too much about it. There's no point in being upset now. Come hang out with us instead.” “Yeah, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Nothing can get worse.” As he heard those words, it sounded as though something serious had happened to Nie Haitang's family. Fang Jinsheng was the first person to notice Qin Ming. “Yo, Qin Ming, you're actually here? What time is it already? You may as well not come. Can you even call yourself a badminton club member? Do you think you're some boss who can come and go whenever you please?” Zhang Qingqing folded her arms in dissatisfaction and reprimanded him, “What's with you nowadays, Qin Ming? Where have you been working every day? Do you know how tough it is when there's no one around to pick up the shuttlecocks? Do you know how time-consuming it is when there's no one to distribute water when everyone's thirsty?” The other girls chimed in, “Yeah, Qin Ming, how shameless can you be? The president is so kind to you, yet you're so ungrateful?” “Tsk, I was the one who had to pick up the shuttlecocks because you weren't here today. You'd better thank me for this, Qin Ming,” a guy said unhappily. Qin Ming was speechless. Are you all a bunch of babies?You're university students, but you're expecting me to do everything for you? Qin Ming ignored them. He had come to the badminton club just to see Nie Haitang. “Haitang, did something happen?” he asked. Fang Jinsheng was furious. He hated it most when Qin Ming cared so much about Nie Haitang. He's nothing but a broke loser who can only dream of having a trophy like Nie Haiting.And Nie Haitang is so easily bewitched by Qin Ming just because she's kind!He immediately taunted, “What can a loser like you do, anyway? Take a look at yourself.” Zhang Qingqing added, “This isn't something you need to know, Qin Ming. There's nothing a broke loser like you can do even if you knew.” The others chimed in, “Just focus on carrying the president's purse.” “Yeah. There's no use worrying about her unless you're a second-gen rich kid.” “Go clean up the court, Qin Ming. We're going off soon. I'm not helping you pick up shuttlecocks anymore.” Nie Haitang held onto her phone tightly as though she was waiting to receive an update. She turned to look at Qin Ming and said helplessly, “Qin Ming, my family... Oh, I shouldn't tell you. It'll only make you worry.” “Tell me. I'm listening,” Qin Ming said. Fang Jinsheng became increasingly mad. He reached out and grabbed Qin Ming, saying, “Are you extra dumb today, Qin Ming? I told you to clean up the court, but...” Fang Jinsheng's words came to an abrupt end, as Qin Ming had swiftly grabbed the guy's hand. With Qin Ming forcefully squeezing the cartilage on Fang Jinsheng's wrist, the latter's face distorted in pain. Qin Ming couldn't take it anymore. “From today onwards, I will no longer pick up shuttlecocks. Anyone who makes me do it will have to beat me in a fight first. I'll have you know that I've been fighting since elementary school all the way till senior high, and I'd take on more than ten people at once every time. Don't think you're all that just because you have a little money.” Bam! With a movement of his wrist, Qin Ming flung Fang Jinsheng to the ground. Fang Jinsheng landed with a cry and couldn't get up for a while because of the intense pain. Covered in sweat, Fang Jinsheng responded, “Qin Ming, y-you dare hit me? You wanna die? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a broke loser! I'll have people beat you up! President, h-he hit me!” “Serves you right. You got into a fight as a guy, but now you want a girl to get involved?” Zhang Qingqing answered coldly. She had no interest in Fang Jinsheng - perhaps even less than Qin Ming. Qin Ming would at least do everything as she instructed, but Fang Jinsheng here couldn't even acknowledge her presence before reprimanding Qin Ming. Do you guys think you can reprimand Qin Ming?Qin Ming is MY slave. Only I can reprimand him.Nie Haitang walked over and said, “Stop fighting, guys. Qin Ming... Truth be told, the stock market hasn't been good. My family's share has been acquired maliciously. Even some minor shareholders have sold their equity. My dad may be a major shareholder, but he still only owns 40% of the equity. Now that someone has bought 41% of the remaining equity, my dad's company is about to be snatched away. That buyer happens to be a person in the same business. He's taking my dad's company not because he wants the money. He just wants to mess things up. Previously, you helped me gain some money in the stock market. I gave it to my dad thinking it'd help, but it turned out to be in vain. I'm just so naïve.” Nie Haitang became increasingly upset as she explained. Tears couldn't help but trickle down her face. Hearing the story, Qin Ming felt it was all do dramatic. Such hostile takeovers would usually only occur on TV. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation in real life. It was no wonder Nie Haitang was so sad. Malicious merging and acquisition by a peer meant there was a lot of foul play going on. Once the Nie family lost its true power, they would be nothing but pie in the sky. They would be powerless against their company's ruins and damaged reputation. Unable to protect their company, they would eventually lose everything. In the end, the shares they had would be completely worthless. “Uhh, Haitang, I can...” Qin Ming felt like he had to help Nie Haitang in such a situation. Beep beep! A Mercedes-Maybach caught everyone's attention. Nie Haitang wiped her tears and said in surprise, “My brother is here.” The audience gulped. What a nice car! A girl said dreamily, “Is Haitang's brother married? I wonder if I have a chance.” Another girl said in disdain, “With that face full of acne? Don't even think about it.” A large group followed Nie Haitang to the car. Seeing his sister, Nie Zhengming said, “I'm taking you to do what dad had mentioned before.” Nie Haitang was shocked all of a sudden. She looked back at Qin Ming, but Qin Ming merely wore a confused expression on his face. What does it have to do with me? Nie Haitang said in defiance, “Brother, can't I not go?” Nie Zhengming clenched a fist as he lovingly caressed Nie Haitang's head and said, “If the young lady from the Mu family were interested in me, then you wouldn't have had to go. But she's not into me. Sorry, my sister.”Nie Haitang's expression dulled. Without a word, she got into the car. Zhang Qingqing rushed over to the window and asked, “Tang, do you really have to go?” Tears formed in Nie Haitang's once again as she said, “Yeah. I can't stand by and watch my family get into trouble. Don't worry, Qingqing. I'll be fine. By the way, don't tell Qin Ming about me being asked to attend blind dates.” The crowd watched Nie Haitang leave, not knowing what had happened. They came up to Zhang Qingqing to inquire. But Zhang Qingqing had a foul temper. She exploded, “Nothing's going on! Get back to practice. I'm in a bad mood now.” When Zhang Qingqing walked by Qin Ming, she scolded him, “You're so worthless. I don't even know what to say to you.” Qin Ming only became even more puzzled. He had no idea what was happening.
