"I won't." Wei Zhao sounded a little helpless.
"Fine, then. I'll let you off for now!" Only then did Feng Xiaoxiao hang up, satisfied. But no sooner had she put down the phone than she pumped her fist in excitement. "Yes! Once we're back at school, I'm making you treat me to beef noodles — that'll drive Tang Yun crazy!"
In Songshan City, inside the finest private room of the Starlight Splendor Hotel, Li Cihua stood attentively at a young man's side, filled his glass to the brim, and said, "Young Master Bing, I wonder — has the boss given any new instructions?"
"Oh, my dad didn't say much. He just told you to cooperate with me on this." Zhao Qibing waved a hand carelessly, as though he did not regard Li Cihua — a gang boss whose single stamp of the foot could shake all of Songshan City — as worth a second glance.
Li Cihua, however, took no offense. He knew his place: in the eyes of the man behind the curtain, he was nothing but a dog. Zhao Qibing might be the boss's bastard son, but he was still the young master. Fail to serve him well, and what good end could he expect?
"Of course. Whatever you command, Young Master Bing, I'll do it!" Li Cihua said respectfully.
"How's the real estate company I asked for? I hear there's money in real estate. Have you got the company sorted out?" Zhao Qibing asked bluntly.
"It's already been established. All the paperwork is in order. I've notified Jin Gubang; he'll be here shortly." Li Cihua said hurriedly. "The only thing missing is a name — you'll have to give the company a name, Young Master Bing!"
"Jin Gubang? Is he chairman of the Gu Group yet?" Zhao Qibing clearly had some impression of the name.
"Still no match for that old fox Gu Pengzhan — the old fox had him purged from the company!" Li Cihua said. "But it doesn't matter; it won't hold up your company, Young Master Bing. Jin Gubang put up the money himself and opened a real estate company for you!"
"Oh, at least he has some sense!" Li Cihua nodded in satisfaction. "Since he funded it entirely out of his own pocket, then give him twenty percent of the shares in a little while, and make him general manager. He can manage the company for me."
"When Jin Gubang hears that, he'll be overflowing with gratitude and serve you with utter devotion, Young Master Bing!" Li Cihua flattered.
As they were speaking, there came a knock at the door of the private room. Li Cihua called out, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Jin Gubang." Jin Gubang's voice came from outside.
"Come in," Li Cihua said indifferently.
At that, Jin Gubang pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Li Cihua standing deferentially beside a young man, he was momentarily startled — then it struck him: this must be the legendary Young Master Bing. He hurriedly put on a fawning smile. "Young Master Bing! Brother Cihua!"
"So you're Jin Gubang? Sit. Tell me about the real estate company." Young Master Bing nodded and gestured to the seat opposite.
"Thank you, Young Master Bing!" Though his heart was bleeding, Jin Gubang had no choice. His earlier gambit had been a double loss — not only had he failed to take the chairmanship of the Gu Group, he had been purged from the company. Now every last asset in his hands had gone into founding this real estate company; the moment he walked out of this private room, he would be penniless.
"Cihua, tell him what I just said, so he knows where he stands," Zhao Qibing ordered Li Cihua.
Li Cihua nodded. "Old Jin, Young Master Bing is a good master. He'll never treat loyal subordinates like us shabbily!"
"Yes! Yes!" Jin Gubang answered aloud, but inwardly he smiled bitterly. That's true enough for you — he won't treat you shabbily. You swindled a real estate company out of me as a gift for him; of course he'd be pleased enough to reward you. But what about me? I gave you the company, and I have nothing left!
