Wild Man & His Crazy World

Chapter 28 The Actions Of Qin Ming

After Nie Haitang left, Qin Ming couldn't help but feel unsettled. It was as though Nie Haitang was hiding something from him. Especially when she looked back at him. From that glance, Qin Ming could tell she was leaving reluctantly. He immediately called Nie Haitang, but she rejected the call before it even went through. This caused Qin Ming to panic. She didn't reply his texts or pick up his calls. Qin Ming had an increasingly bad feeling about this. Qin Ming couldn't not ask Zhang Qingqing, “President, what in the world is going on?” “It is as you saw!” Zhang Qingqing rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Why? You wanna pay hero and save the Nie family? YOU? Stop daydreaming already.” Fang Jinsheng was curious too, “Tell us, president. Where did Haitang suddenly go? Surely someone like Qin Ming won't be able to help, but maybe we can.” The other club members chimed in, “Yeah, we're not like Qin Ming. We can help.” Zhang Qingqing was on fire. “Which one of you has tens of billions? If you're unable to part with that amount freely and help her out, then shut up!” Everyone gulped. Tens of billions? Was there such a person among them? Zhang Qingqing was livid. “I won't say much about Qin Ming, since he's just a broke toad lusting after a swan and does nothing but daydreaming all day. But you guys? I'm sure you're all well off, so aren't you aware of how reality is? Haitang's family business is a listed company that's now being taken over by force. It will soon belong to someone else, so of course they have to do something to raise their equity! But if you want to help them, there's no way you can unless you have tens of billions.” Everyone became silent. They came from decent backgrounds, but their monthly allowance averaged around 2,000. If they were to pool their money together, it wouldn't even reach 100 million, let alone tens of billions. Zhang Qingqing added, “Haitang is on her way to a blind date. The man is He Kun, son of the head of Hua Province's 18th Construction Bureau. It's his second marriage too; his previous wife fled because she couldn't stand his violent acts. Sigh... What can you guys do? The restaurant on top of Century Tower requires identity tickets to enter. There's no way any ordinary folk can get in there, so don't bother.” Century Tower - a Guang City landmark. Remembering this place, Qin Ming silently turned to leave.Seeing Qin Ming walk away, Zhang Qingqing called out, “Qin Ming, you're not thinking of causing some trouble there, are you? Haitang had told me not to tell you about this because she was worried you'd do something. If her blind date doesn't go well, her family will be beyond redemption, and it'll be your fault.” Fang Jinsheng hurriedly walked up to block Qin Ming's path, saying, “Qin Ming, causing trouble there means causing trouble for Nie Haitang.” “Yeah! Don't even mention tens of billions - you don't even have a few hundred.” Fang Jinsheng was furious, “You'd go around sticking at Haitang all day, yet you can't even help her now, but instead want to cause a scene there? If Haitang chose to go there, that means she's made up her mind. She could be the future Mrs. Kuo, but if you were to interfere and ruin their ties, Haitang would only suffer. Do you think everyone is born poor like you?” Qin Ming suddenly smiled as he gave Fang Jinsheng a playful glance. “Fang Jinsheng, I guess you like Haitang a lot too. I thought you'd be different from all those guys who secretly admired her - that you're the type to take charge. Yet, it's like you've lost your balls the moment you heard she needs tens of billions.” Fang Jinsheng face turned gloomy as he retaliated, “Then do you have tens of billions? Don't talk big here now. You're just a broke loser who's even much worse off than I am. There's no way you can save Nie Haitang. Letting go for love is what I'm doing.” “Hmph,” Qin Ming snorted coldly. What do you mean by 'letting go because of love'? Didn't you see Nie Haitang wiping her tears in the car? Qin Ming lied blatantly, “I'm just going to work. Don't block my way.” Fang Jinsheng froze, then he sneered, “Haha! All that big talk and you're not doing anything about it either. What a joke.” The others began to laugh and taunt too, “So he's going to earn money. From the way he talked, I thought he was going to crash into Century Tower on his own.” Zhang Qingqing merely shook her head and said to herself, Haitang, the man you care for so much doesn't even have the guts to enter Century Tower. What kind of expectations do you have for him? Marrying He Kun isn't too bad after all; at least you'd get to enjoy an infinite amount of wealth. Qin Ming walked directly out of the school gardens and made a call to Song Ying, “Song Ying, get someone to pick me up now. Also, help me look up the family business of my friend Nie Haitang, as well as the family background of Hua Province's 18th Construction Bureau's boss.” Within five minutes, an extended Rolls-Royce stopped outside the school gates. As usual, Song Ying was dressed in a full-black attire, with her curvy figure showing.Qin Ming got into the car and quickly looked through the information Song Ying had given him. The Nie family sold sanitary products, but the recently poor market conditions and turmoil in the stock market had caused large and small shareholders to sell their shares at a high price. Somebody now controlled more shares than the Nie family. It so happened that the He family possessed 11% of the shares, so as long as the Nie family could buy back 2% of it, the company would remain theirs. After looking at all the information, Qin Ming understood: Nie Haitang was going to sacrifice her own happiness to save her entire family. Qin Ming asked curiously, “These are all listed companies. I want to help the Nie family, but I'd have to spend quite some money. Will it have a huge impact on Huan Ning Century Corporation?” Song Ying smiled, “Don't worry, young master. According to your countrywide quarterly financial report, mere tens of billions is nothing compared to your annual income. I'm not compiling all your assets across Asia, which are conservatively estimated to be 100 billion. Qin Ming nodded lightly. He was being too conservative. But he couldn't be blamed. After all, he used to be so poor. He also didn't understand Chang Hongxi and Huan Ning Century Corporation well enough. Tens of billions would naturally be a crazy amount to him. Song Ying suggested, “If you'd like to help the Nie family, you don't have to buy the entire company. You just need to make sure the Nie family remains as the biggest shareholder, and it won't cost much to buy some shares from the He family. No, perhaps you won't even need to spend a single cent. Our team leader, Mr. Hou, has been negotiating with the government over a new urban reconstruction plan. The tender has been awarded, and the boss of the He family seems to want to be involved too. Surely he'd be happy to exchange a little share for a 100-billion project collaboration.” Deep down, Qin Ming was amazed. So that guy who was so polite to him was actually this remarkable?He could even nab government projects. Qin Ming suddenly felt so carefree as he leaned back on the leather seat of the Rolls-Royce. How great it is to be rich. So this is what it feels like to live such a life. I could easily toss out ten billion and easily let go of a hundred billion. This is really no joke. Qin Ming spoke with the authority of a king, “Alright then. Have Hou Qing get those shares over from the He family. Tell the Nie family that we're on their side with the 11% we have, and that they don't need to be afraid during the general shareholders' meeting. We won't sell the shares.” Song Ying immediately did as she was told. The Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Century Tower. The general manager, who had received the notice prior, hurriedly opened the car door and bowed, “Ms. Song, are you here to discuss business or just to take a look? Or...” Song Ying responded coldly, “Be quiet. Why do I need to tell you what I intend to do? Move aside. After you, young master. I forgot to tell you that Century Tower also belongs to you.”
