“Nephew, rules still need to be taught.” Hong-ge’s triangular eyes glanced at Shao Qian. “Especially for someone who only recognizes money and not people.”
“Uncle Hong is absolutely right.” Shao Qian looked at Uncle Hong, grinning. “I don’t have many hobbies in daily life, just lying in bed counting the zeros in my bank account.”
Yu Yang looked at Shao Qian with gentle eyes, then Shao Qian kissed his cheek. “Darling, you talk to Uncle Hong, I’ll give you a third of the money.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Yu Yang wanted to play a role, and Shao Qian played along. Besides, this Hong-ge exuded so much malice that he found it quite annoying.
Hong-ge observed their interaction and felt quite disgusted. Two grown men acting so affectionate—wasn’t it annoying?
“Nephew, since you’ve said that, let’s continue our discussion.” Hong-ge picked up and put down his cigar several times. Now he found it truly vexing to lower himself to negotiate with someone like Yu Yang.
“Uncle Hong, as my brother Yang mentioned earlier, the price you’re offering is indeed a bit low.” Shao Qian pretended to be troubled, counting on his fingers. “At this rate, it seems I won’t be able to save much pocket money.”
“You don’t understand. Five lines for fifty million is already much higher than the market price.” Hong-ge didn’t have a good temper for Shao Qian. “Kid, let me tell you, Uncle Hong is willing to talk to you, and you should be grateful.”
“Uncle Hong said this.” Shao Qian still said with a smile: “You haven’t talked to Boss Yu yet? Oh, does it also have something to do with status? Although my brother Yang has just joined the gang and is not familiar with these things yet. But you can’t forget that my brother Yang’s surname is Yu, and our gang’s surname is also Yu. Mr. Hong, what do you think about what I said? Is that right?”
Can Hong-ge say no? Of course not. With his ugly face, he slammed his cigar on the table: “I don’t think you are sincere in discussing business. In this case, are you teasing me by asking me out?”
“Uncle Hong, we all know some things. You know it. When Boss Yu gave you 30 million for a line, it was actually not a high price. After all, you can make back the money in two or three years, right?” Shao Qian picked up the tea cup and took a sip: “My brother Yang wants to sell these five lines, and I also want to win over the brothers in the gang. How can you say 10 million for each line?”
Ever since Hong-ge took this position, few people dared to speak to him like this. Bastard Yu hurt him a lot when he was still there, but he didn’t expect that a mere plaything would dare to talk to him like that now.
However, as long as these lines can be obtained, will these members of the Yu family also not fall into his hands in the future? When the time comes, they must be made to think that dying is better than living.
Hong-ge thought about it for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: “Boy, Uncle Hong underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to be knowledgeable. Since you understand the ins and outs, let’s be clear. One line, twenty million. Sell to me, or forget it.”
“Uncle Hong, you said before that there should be justice with every deal. right?” Shao Qian put down the tea cup and smiled. “If Uncle Hong can’t afford these lines, we can find other buyers. One line for thirty million; if you want all five, then twenty-five million each.”
Hong-ge’s face darkened upon hearing this. Leaning his elbows on his knees, he lowered his head, contemplating for a while. At present, his liquid funds were only one hundred and fifty million. If he spent so much at once…
“Uncle Hong, please consider it carefully. If we leave this door today, we’ll find other buyers.” Shao Qian didn’t give Hong-ge a chance to think. Moreover, he believed that this old fox wouldn’t miss the opportunity to dominate R City’s drug market.
“Young man, no need to be so hasty.” Hong-ge wanted a glass of cold water to calm himself down, but Shao Qian didn’t give him the chance, repeatedly approaching.
“Uncle Hong, it’s not that I’m anxious.” Shao Qian shook his head with a sigh. “My brother Yang is waiting to distribute money to the brothers in the gang.”
More like you’re waiting for the money to line your pockets. Hong-ge sneered in his heart, bowed his head in contemplation for a while, and finally nodded in agreement. “Alright, as you said. Five lines, one by one, twenty-five million each.”
“It’s settled then.” Shao Qian smiled at Hong-ge, then patted Yu Yang’s thigh. “Get up, collect the money.”
Yu Yang sat up, kissed Shao Qian lovingly, and said, “An’an is truly my lucky star.”
Hong-ge felt his teeth ache from witnessing the affection between the two. He picked up and put down his cigar several times, then pinched the fleshy part of his cheek. “The money will be delivered in three days, and when can we get the goods?”
In three days, I can make sure you have nowhere to turn. If you want my money, let’s see if you have the capability.
“Following the rules of the trade, we exchange money for goods.” Yu Yang pulled Shao Qian up. “Uncle Hong, we’ll meet here in three days.”
“Fine, I’ll be waiting for Nephew then.” Hong-ge stayed seated, watching the two leave.
“Hong-ge, over a hundred and twenty million isn’t a small amount. Can we really obtain it within three days?” After all, the banks weren’t run by them, and in these few days, who knew how many banks they would have to visit to collect such a large sum of money.
“Let the brothers run around, and once we get in touch with the contact for these lines…” Hong-ge made a throat-slitting gesture. Yu Yang didn’t even consider his own capabilities. If he wanted to challenge him, he should check whether he had the skills.
“Baby, feeling tired?” Yu Yang felt distressed; his baby hadn’t slept much. Working hard to negotiate ‘business’ like this was truly admirable.
“Not tired.” After leaving, Shao Qian shook off Yu Yang’s hand and released his soul power to observe his surroundings, afraid of snipers or other threats.
Yu Yang was a bit unhappy about having his hand shaken off. Did his baby not want to hold hands?
“An’an…” The tone made it sound so pitiful that it couldn’t be tolerated. “My hand is a bit cold. Can you warm it up for me?”
How can you say such coquettish words with a clear-cut handsome face? But Shao Qian truly loved this shameless demeanor, and he didn’t think it was shameful at all.
After getting into the car, Yu Yang sat quietly with his head down, not saying a word. Shao Qian, on the other hand, was busy observing outside, paying little attention to him.
Yu Yang felt a bit moody. His declared partner, who was so close last night, suddenly distanced himself after getting out of bed. How to deal with this situation? Waiting online. Quite Urgent.
“An’an, you’re ignoring me.” The tone carried a hint of grievance, making it hard to resist goosebumps.
Their driver, Zhang Yin, wanted to cover his face. Wasn’t the boss supposed to be imposing and malicious? How did he transform from a fierce wolf to a gentle husky?
Shao Qian, who had been staring out the car window, turned his head and couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Yu Yang’s slightly aggrieved expression. “If I’m ignoring you, could we have shared a bed last night?”
Hearing this, Yu Yang’s ears turned a bit red. His left hand hesitated, caressing and tracing, until it touched Shao Qian’s fingers…
Shao Qian decisively took Yu Yang’s left hand and played with it in his own palm. Yu Yang’s hand was thick and broad, enveloped by Shao Qian’s hands, giving a sense of inexplicable security. He held this large palm, fingers drawing the lines in his palm. “Why do I feel uneasy?”
The uneasy one should be me. I can meet you in every world, but at the end of each world, I worry about not meeting you again. So, I cherish every minute we spend together.
Shao Qian was afraid. He was afraid that in the next world, he wouldn’t meet this person, and at that time, he didn’t know if he would collapse, if he would ruin that little world.
Yu Yang fell into silence for a while. He raised the partition with the driver’s seat and sighed, holding Shao Qian in his arms. “I don’t know why I feel uneasy. Clearly, I won’t lose you, but there’s always this feeling that you’ll disappear, that you’ll leave my life. It makes me feel a bit anxious.”
Shao Qian, with his body slightly tilted, hugged Yu Yang’s neck and said, “Once I’ve decided on you, there won’t be any changes. But your uneasiness will also give me the same feeling.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yang’s mind seemed to sway a bit. He felt that this statement was very familiar, as if someone had said such words to him before. However, he couldn’t recall his actions clearly.
Yu Yang frowned, trying to connect the missing pieces, but a sudden sharp pain in his head and then complete blankness followed.
