"I’ve heard that a kind of magical jade pendant has appeared in Hai City recently, selling like hotcakes. I’m planning to get one for the Chen Family to change their fortunes. Maybe then they won’t pursue the matter anymore!"
After Wang Hai’s ordeal, he not only avoided further scolding, but also received strong support from his father, who even gave him an extra sum of money.
"Indeed, I’ve recently heard about those jade pendants, and they indeed seem effective. You must buy one at any cost to give to the Chen Family as a gift!"
"This could be considered a case of ’no fight, no acquaintance.’ If we can use this opportunity to strengthen our relationship with the Chen Family, in the future, our Qianyang Corporation will be able to stride across Hai City!" ƒreewebɳovel.com
After hanging up the phone, Wang Hai found an extra sum of money in his account, sent by his father.
He was ecstatic, his father’s words stirring his emotions. He dreamt of becoming someone like Chen Feng, not just an ordinary rich second generation.
While he was happy, Xu Ling became even more frustrated.
In order to cheer her up, Wang Hai grabbed Xu Ling’s buttocks and said, "Alright, the issue is almost resolved, hurry up and take good care of me, and I’ll give you a big reward!"
...
After closing the door, Xu Lele felt a wave of guilt rising in her heart.
She had actually doubted Ye Ming, which was really inappropriate.
After much thought, Xu Lele still made a call to Ye Ming, telling him about what had just happened.
After listening, Ye Ming didn’t feel there was anything amiss. On the contrary, he comforted her, "It’s okay. Xu Ling is cunning and sly, with too many schemes. It’s inevitable you would be deceived by her due to your innocence and naivety."
"However, the fact that you still believe in me is very touching!"
Despite what Ye Ming said, Xu Lele kept apologizing, "From now on, I will believe in you unconditionally."
After finishing the conversation, Xu Lele continued her culinary research with Lin Bingqing.
Xia Ningning’s company had some issues today and couldn’t accompany her, which left Xu Lele feeling bored. That’s why she had come to Ye Ming’s villa alone, but it turned out that Ye Ming also had business to attend to, and only Lin Bingqing stayed with her.
And at that moment, Ye Ming was sitting in the most luxurious private room at the Garden Hotel.
On his left, Scarface was smiling, looking at him with an ingratiating gaze, and said, "Brother Ming, as you mentioned before, a Herbal Pill for two hundred thousand, there’s twenty million on this card, and I would like to reserve another hundred pills."
"You can set the supply time at your convenience, I have no objections," he added.
Ever since tasting success last time, Scarface had been in the process of saving money these days.
He had mobilized all his resources to gather twenty million, eagerly awaiting this day.
Ye Ming felt a wave of helplessness and said, "Scarface, I’ve told you before, the drug can’t be used repeatedly multiple times; are you planning on eating it like rice?"
Scratching his head sheepishly, Scarface said, "Brother Ming, I won’t lie to you. Ever since that fight with Li Dazhuang, my reputation has soared. I’ve been getting more and more people under me, so I need to stock up on more pills."
"Moreover, didn’t you say before that you wanted me to help you sell these Herbal Pills?"
Ye Ming said irritably, "With your demand so high, how am I supposed to sell them? Forget it."
After thinking it through, Ye Ming still accepted the money.
There’s a saying that fits well here: only a fool would turn down the chance to make money. The opportunity was clearly in front of him, and there was no way Ye Ming would just ignore it. However, he already had a rough idea in mind.
His production was simply too low; to market the Herbal Pills was extremely difficult. The internal consumption at Scarface’s was so great that supply couldn’t meet demand, let alone consider selling?
He was already calculating in his mind the need to establish a company for mass production. Even if it meant reducing the potency somewhat, his Herbal Pills would still be far more effective than the average medicine on the market.
To his right, Qin Tianyu was grinning as he updated Ye Ming on the recent developments.
The Jade Pendants blessed with magical power had been massively pursued—another case of supply falling short of demand.
This time, Qin Tianyu had picked out a few Jade Pendants with good appearance, hoping Ye Ming would continue to enhance them with his magic.
Ye Ming didn’t waste words. After a few enhancements, his technique had become much more proficient. He simply played with the pendants in his hand for a moment, and their quality changed as the True Qi was easily infused into them, now blessed with the magical power.
"Mr. Ye, as per the price you quoted, all these pendants have been sold, and I’ve transferred the entire sum to you!"
With that, Qin Tianyu transferred fifty million to Ye Ming.
These numbers shocked Ye Ming, and looking puzzled, he asked Qin Tianyu, "How come it’s so much?"
Qin Tianyu cheerfully explained, "Mr. Ye, here’s the thing—my father has instructed me several times to secure the business of enhancing these magical pendants with you, as a token of our sincerity."
In fact, after the incident involving the Chen Family, both Qin Tianyu and Old Master Qin were deeply moved and decided to curry favor with Ye Ming intentionally.
Business was only the superficial part; ultimately, the Qin Family wanted to bind themselves firmly together with Ye Ming.
With this in mind, they were no longer focused on short-term profits but were looking much farther ahead.
Ye Ming smiled and gladly accepted the offer.
He understood the situation but chose not to articulate it, saying only, "In that case, the Qin Family will need to put more effort into this business in the future."
"Of course, Mr. Ye, you really shouldn’t say such things!" Qin Tianyu said hurriedly.
Thus, Ye Ming’s influence began to take shape.
There was no need to say much about Scarface. After being disciplined by Ye Ming several times, he had completely submitted to him. As for the Qin Family, Ye Ming remained observant.
When the Qin Family didn’t intervene in the last incident, Ye Ming didn’t blame them, but he recognized their shrewdness. ’Better safe than sorry’—that’s why he maintained such an attitude.
After that matter concluded, Scarface brought up another issue, saying, "Brother Ming, I’ve recently received information. Several underworld leaders in Hai City have banded together and are looking for skilled fighters all over the place. They’re probably targeting you."
"Also, the banquet you mentioned before is in five days."
Ye Ming nodded. He could have guessed this without Scarface telling him.
Because he had begun to gain notice, attracting the attention of adversaries was inevitable. Moreover, due to this situation, even Scarface was affected to a certain extent.
So, Ye Ming had only one idea: to keep strengthening his own power. Only when you have a strong fist can you protect yourself.
After a rough estimate, Ye Ming already had a substantial amount of money on hand, but in his eyes, those were just a series of numbers.
