Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Niu Chunsheng sent the secretary away, leaned back in his office chair, and stared at the stomach-nourishing medicine he had just brought back from the Hospital, sinking into deep melancholy.

He suddenly realized that all these years it wasn't he who had been doing business; rather, business had been pushing him forward, giving him opportunities to Earn Money while stripping away his health.

At that moment, his Mobile Phone rang.

It was his wife Lin Xiaofang calling.

Niu Chunsheng gathered his scattered thoughts and answered the call.

"How did it go?"

Lin Xiaofang on the other end directly asked about the Doctor's visit.

Niu Chunsheng deliberately put on a Light-hearted tone and said:

"The Doctor said I won't die for A Moment, and there's a high probability I can live Exceed five years."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofang's nerves, taut these past few days, relaxed a little:

"That's good, that's good. Do you know you nearly scared me to death!"

Niu Chunsheng chuckled, not knowing what to Say, only feeling an indescribable sigh.

The Doctor indeed said he wouldn't die for A Moment, and said there was a high probability he could live past five years, but the premise was that he had to follow Doctor's Orders, watch his diet, and Quit Smoking and quit drinking.

But Niu Chunsheng had only just finished seeing the Doctor, and tonight he Had To attend a dinner engagement.

Lin Xiaofang suddenly Apologized:

"Husband, I'm sorry..."

Niu Chunsheng was Stunned:

"Why are you saying this to me?"

Lin Xiaofang sobbed:

"These days my Emotions have been bad. You had a health problem, and I shouldn't have Blamed you. I should have been more Tolerant, but I'm so Afraid. Can you understand my fear?"

Niu Chunsheng said:

"I understand."

Lin Xiaofang wiped her Tears and said:

"Come home early tonight for Dinner. I'll make your favorite braised spare ribs."

But Niu Chunsheng said:

"Wife, I'm afraid I can't have Dinner with you tonight."

Lin Xiaofang froze, Unhappy:

"Why?"

Niu Chunsheng Honestly explained:

"The boss of Lianqiang Building Materials invited me to dinner tonight. I can't not go."

Lin Xiaofang didn't understand:

"How can you not not go? It's just a matter of saying one Sentence to Refuse. You've got Stomach Cancer now. If you don't Consider yourself, you have to Consider your family!"

Niu Chunsheng patiently Explained:

"Lianqiang Building Materials controls the Building Materials Business of the entire County. My Company has a project about to launch. If Lianqiang Building Materials blocks me at this juncture, my business will be in a very difficult spot, and I might even Lose a lot of Money."

Lin Xiaofang, eyes red, made a concession:

"Then just eat. Don't Drink Alcohol."

Niu Chunsheng gave a bitter Laugh:

"I'm afraid that's Compare difficult..."

But Lin Xiaofang said:

"How is it difficult? You just tell them you have Stomach Cancer and can't Drink Alcohol anymore. I don't believe anyone would be so lacking in Tact as to still force you to drink!"

Niu Chunsheng didn't know how to Explain to Lin Xiaofang for a moment, so he could only tell a white lie:

"Alright then. I'll tell them tonight that I'm not drinking."

But in his heart he knew very clearly that this Alcohol, he would probably Have To drink.

As for his Condition, that absolutely could not be known to Outsiders.

Especially those he had Business dealings with!

If they knew Niu Chunsheng had Cancer and was dying soon, they'd rush to settle accounts, and Business Cooperation would be cut off at will. After all, once Niu Chunsheng died, Many Things could no longer be recovered.

Niu Chunsheng had struggled in the business world for so many years. How could he not be clear about human nature?

You tell an Outsider you're sick, and they may express sympathy and regret to your face, but the moment they turn around, they'll Absolutely hurry to do a Benefit separation.

If Niu Chunsheng had designated a Company successor, the situation might be better.

The problem is he hasn't chosen a Company successor yet.

His daughter is a hopeless good-for-nothing, and his son is too young.

Obviously neither has the ability to inherit his Company.

And handing it to an Outsider, he definitely wouldn't be at ease.

So anyone with sense can see at a glance: the moment Niu Chunsheng dies, his Company will inevitably plunge into internal strife, then rapidly decline, and rapidly be carved up by Outsiders.

In the business world, there's no talk of Sentiment.

If Niu Chunsheng died, who knew how many people would be eyeing his slice of the cake.

In the blink of an eye, it was seven o'clock in the evening.

Niu Chunsheng put on his suit, combed his hair, groomed himself until he looked radiant, and then went to attend Liu Lianqiang's dinner gathering.

With this spirit of his, this aura of his, probably no one would imagine that he was already a person with late-stage cancer.

"Niu Zong, long time no see, you actually look even younger!"

Liu Lianqiang was a man in his thirties-plus, hair slicked back, a little goatee on his chin, wearing glasses, dressed in a Tang suit, looking every bit the jianghu type.

But then he was half a jianghu man himself, and this getup indeed suited his temperament quite well.

Just with the business he did, back then even Huo Guoqiang, a building materials big shot in the city, couldn't get a foot in, and had to turn around and partner with Wang Erhai and Zhang Sheng to do renovation business instead — from this one could see how great his influence was on the county city side.

And the reason his influence was so great, a large part of it was because he had a good family background.

His fourth uncle Liu Xinwen was the shot-caller at the County Finance Bureau.

And Liu Xinwen was still someone with relatively later influence inside the Liu Family.

The Liu Family had even more powerful people who had long since put down roots in the city.

"No no, I'm old, practically about to be discarded by the times!" Niu Chungen wore a smile on his face, saying humble words to Liu Lianqiang: "It's still you who's impressive, Liu Zong. How does that saying go? The Yangtze's rear waves push the front waves, each generation produces its talents! Liu Zong, at such a young age you've built your business this big, truly makes one unable to help but admire!"

Liu Lianqiang smiled:

"All this is thanks to everyone willing to give face to me, Liu Lianqiang! I, Liu Lianqiang, have no other virtues, but I do have one: I know reciprocity! Others give me an inch of respect, I'll return them an inch! If someone steps on my foot, sorry, I'll step back eleven!"

Niu Chunsheng hehe-laughed:

"Liu Zong, a man of true character!"

Liu Lianqiang hurriedly put his arm around Niu Chunsheng's neck and said:

"Come come come, enough nonsense, hurry in and drink a few cups! Tonight no one leaves sober, whoever nurses their drink is not giving me, Liu Lianqiang, face, not giving me face is not giving my fourth uncle face, not giving the Liu Family face!"

Liu Lianqiang had put it like this, so what else could Niu Chunsheng do?

He could only go in and accompany the drinking.

And he even had to take the initiative to toast.

When the drinking was about done, Niu Chunsheng again felt his stomach extremely uncomfortable.

To the point that he had to clutch his belly tight with his left hand, head bowed, wearing a mask of pain.

At this moment Liu Lianqiang walked over and patted Niu Chunsheng's shoulder:

"Niu Zong, heard you and Zhang Zong, and that Wang Erhai, are together developing a real estate project in Shangang Town?"

Niu Chunsheng's face was already pale, yet he still forced himself to answer politely:

"Liu Zong's information is truly well-connected, we indeed plan to develop real estate in Shangang Town."

Liu Lianqiang couldn't help laughing out loud:

"That godforsaken mountain pass of a place, even if houses are built, would anyone buy them?"

Niu Chunsheng smiled weakly, did not answer.

Liu Lianqiang continued:

"But whether you can sell the houses once built, I don't care a whit. I have only one requirement: the building materials you use for construction, you must get from me!"

Niu Chunsheng then said:

"This I'm afraid I can't decide, have to ask Zhang Zong, he's the main shot-caller for this project."

Liu Lianqiang however said:

"I already asked Zhang Zong long ago, he said no problem, told me to come ask you, that's why I invited you for drinks tonight, right?"

Niu Chunsheng then said:

"I have no problem either, the projects I develop, haven't they always used Liu Zong's building materials?"

Liu Lianqiang at this point asked:

"Speaking of that Wang Erhai, I'm not too familiar with him, and he used to be partners with Huo Guoqiang, who's also in building materials — would he have any objections?"

Niu Chunsheng laughed dryly, his face already pale as paper, large beads of cold sweat seeping out on his forehead:

"He probably won't have any objections..."

Liu Lianqiang then said:

"Wang Erhai and you aren't very close? I heard you used to take care of his family a lot, why don't you help me go talk to Wang Erhai about this, that way our communication efficiency will be higher too."

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly nodded:

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Liu Lianqiang didn't go directly to negotiate with Wang Erhai, but had Niu Chunsheng go help put in a good word.

From this one point one could see, he wasn't a reckless fool, he had some tactics in business too.

That he could build his business this big at such a young age, a hard background was one aspect, his own ability not being weak was another.
