Free Web NovelChapter 247: Chapter 247 Not Taking Me Along for the Fight
Qin Xi was not foolish; he knew that Wang Hao’s actions today were clearly meant to support Chen Hongying. This way, the entire Chicheng County herbal medicine market would be under the control of just Chen Hongying and Wang Hao.
After that, Qin Xi would have no standing in Chicheng County at all!
"Wang Hao, just you wait, don’t get smug too soon. I’m going to find my friends in Zao City right now. If I don’t come back and take you down, I am not a Qin!"
Qin Xi’s face changed in an instant, and after throwing down these words, he ran out of Chen Hongying’s company faster than a rabbit.
Wang Hao didn’t take Qin Xi’s words to heart because he believed that his relationship with Wen Yonglin was definitely stronger than Qin Xi’s.
After leaving his bank card with Chen Hongying, he quietly left.
It was only after Chen Hongying had finished registering the information of those people that she realized Wang Hao had already left, but his bank card was still in the card reader.
Chen Hongying was not only astute but also very clever, understanding why Wang Hao would confidently leave his bank card there: he surely intended for her to take care of finalizing the acquisition of the shares.
However, what Chen Hongying couldn’t figure out was that this move was not very beneficial to Wang Hao at all, so what exactly was his purpose?
"Could it really just be to help me?"
Actually, Chen Hongying herself hardly believed it when she voiced this thought.
But in fact, Wang Hao did just that, indeed helping Chen Hongying without asking for anything in return, which made Chen Hongying—who had always been troubling Wang Hao—feel very guilty.
However, Wang Hao didn’t think he had suffered much of a loss.
Back in the village, he had already expanded nearly a thousand mu of land, preparing to build greenhouses on all of it. With the effect of the Longchi Spring, their herbal medicine supply would definitely be abundant and uninterrupted in the future.
If he continued to have this kind of stalemate with Chen Hongying, she would inevitably obstruct him, making Wang Hao’s business increasingly difficult.
But now, with the alliance of the herbal medicine companies in Chicheng County all under Wang Hao’s control, the resources in Chen Hongying’s hands would also be in his grasp.
Thus, if herbal medicine buyers from other places came to Chicheng County, the only seller they could find would be Wang Hao.
This way, Wang Hao would no longer worry about not being able to sell his herbal medicines!
This was what they called economic monopoly.
Back at the company, Xia Xue had left to help Wang Hao sign land lease contracts with the villagers and went to Chen Village, with Su Lin also returning with her, leaving only Qi Shihan in Chicheng County.
"Big brother Hao, my university admission notice has arrived!" ƒrēewebnovel.com
As soon as she entered the house, Qi Shihan started showing off her admission notice to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao took it for a closer look—Xiangtan University, Department of Classical Literature and Archaeology?
"Why would you choose a university in Zao City, and why such a... such an obscure major?"
Wang Hao couldn’t understand and twitched the corner of his eye involuntarily.
"Because it’s close to home, and this major has very few courses, plus I can travel all over the place!"
Qi Shihan spoke full of anticipation.
Wang Hao was genuinely taken aback by this naïve little girl’s thinking—she was basically treating her education as a joke, without giving a single thought to her future life, just wanting to play around all the time!
But he couldn’t entirely blame her since her family’s conditions had always been very good, her father was rarely at home, and everyone in the family doted on her like a little princess.
So how could she think about her future livelihood now?
Wang Hao glanced at the time, noting that school would start soon.
"Alright then, as long as you’re happy with it. I’ll come back to see you off on your first day of school," he said.
After saying that, Wang Hao went to change into clean clothes, and once he was neatly dressed, he prepared to leave. Before departing, he greeted Qi Shihan.
"Where are you going? You haven’t given me my reward yet!"
Seeing Wang Hao about to leave, Qi Shihan immediately appeared unhappy.
"Xiangtan University is just a third-tier university, right? You want a reward for getting into that?"
Wang Hao’s face turned dark.
"I don’t care; I got into university, and you promised me before—I want my reward!"
Qi Shihan shouted angrily, it seemed that today, without that reward, she wouldn’t let Wang Hao leave.
"Okay, okay, in a few days I’ll give you whatever you want, alright? But right now, I have an urgent matter to attend to, can you please let me go?"
Wang Hao then affectionately slid his finger down Qi Shihan’s nose and said.
"Our little princess is the best!"
After saying that, Wang Hao walked out the door.
Qi Shihan still pouted as Wang Hao closed the door, at that moment, she pulled out a report card from her pocket, which had her test score on it.
points!
This score already far exceeded the first-tier university threshold, and even aiming for a prestigious university in the capital wouldn’t be a problem.
But Qi Shihan only filled in Xiangtan University on her application, and anyone could see why.
She didn’t want to leave Wang Hao!
"Idiot! Moron! Blockhead!"
Qi Shihan cursed several times, tears of grievance swirling in her eyes.
Originally, she had specifically stayed in Chicheng County today, thinking that it would be just her and Wang Hao, and she planned to tell him during dinner about her test score and confess her feelings.
But to her surprise, Wang Hao had hurried out the door.
She was incredibly disappointed.
In fact, Wang Hao really wanted to have a good talk with Qi Shihan alone, but the underground boxing match was about to take place, and he definitely had to fight on behalf of the Sun Family’s three brothers.
When Wang Hao arrived at the underground betting booth, the Sun Family’s three brothers had been waiting there for a while.
"Wang Hao, I’ve been thinking about it and still find this match too risky, maybe we should..."
"Risks are not taken on behalf of others. Third brother, stop worrying, just get ready and let’s go!"
Wang Hao cut off third brother Sun’s words, but just as he said they should get ready to leave, he noticed the Sun Family’s three brothers and another twenty or thirty followers also moving to depart with them.
"Just me and third brother, and we’ll take one junior with us, he can help take care of third brother on the way, everyone else should stay here, there’s no need to go!"
Wang Hao said to the others.
"But, wouldn’t it be too risky if Wild Bear tries to pull dirty tricks behind the scenes? Wouldn’t we be safer with more people to look out for each other?"
Second brother Sun was adamant about not letting just the three of them go. freēwebnovel.com
"Have you considered that the venue is in Wild Bear’s territory? What difference would it make if we go as three or thirty?"
Wang Hao retorted.
"But..."
Second brother Sun was at a loss for words.
Wang Hao was right, the boxing match was organized by Wild Bear and held on his turf. If Wild Bear really wanted to harm them, even if they went all out, they might not all make it back.
"Second brother, there’s no need to worry. This boxing match is organized by Wild Bear, the more participants, the more it benefits his publicity. Even if he wants to hurt us, he would wait until after the match is over."
Wang Hao confidently stated.
Second brother Sun still felt uneasy and remained reluctant to agree.
"Wang Hao is right!"
Third brother Sun thought carefully before addressing second brother Sun.
"We’ve just taken over Chicheng County, and our influence here isn’t fully established yet. We need people to look after the betting booth. You all stay here and keep guard."
It was easy to convince Elder Gao, but not taking second brother Sun to the fight made him quite unhappy, and he turned his face away in a huff.
"Hmph, not letting me go to a fight!"
