Chapter 418: Connections

Lu Liang's face stiffened.

Liu Fu, however, burst out laughing.

"Yang Rong, your son is really not simple; this is about getting us to work for him for free."

Yang Qing chuckled.

"It's just preparing for a rainy day; having more industries is never a problem."

Liu Fu's eyes narrowed as he looked at Lu Liang and the others.

Lu Liang was no longer calm.

"Kid, do you know something?"

Yang Qing didn't stand on ceremony, squeezing into the crowd.

"As far as I know, they're up to something in the north; no one can say what Gangdao will become in the future."

"If we don't prepare now, it'll be too late to plan once things get serious."

"If something truly uncontrollable happens, will the Hong Fu just grab a bunch and run?"

Everyone listened, feeling uneasy in their hearts; the Star Ferry incident had been resolved, but the situation wasn't settled at all—it kept getting worse.

People's hearts were stirred up; nothing that happened would be surprising.

Li Zixiong pointed at Yang Qing.

"Kid, don't spread alarmist talk."

Liu Fu had already withdrawn, and his business skills were no small matter; he had long surpassed Gangdao.

So he wasn't worried.

Lu Liang and Lan Xiang were both about to retire, so they were the most worried—nothing could go wrong at this critical juncture.

"Kid, since you said that, if we few don't help you, it would look like we're not looking after you."

"We've taken charge of the big talk."

Yang Qing gave a hehe laugh.

"If the big boss is interested, Yingjiang can also be taken."

"As for their foundation, Yang Qing really lacks confidence; it'd be better to let this lot handle it."

"Given their dark background, it's easy to achieve something through underground forces."

So the two sides got along swimmingly.

After that, there was nothing more for Yang Rong to do in the schedule.

Yang Qing, sucking up, followed Liu Fu, Chen Chao, and Li Zixiong to meet some Yinglian people.

Having heard that Yang Qing was the boss of the Headline Daily and Many Stars, these Yinglian folks were still polite and got to know him a bit.

It wasn't until Dai Linzhi came out that this gathering finally ended.

Behaving like a little butterfly, chattering away, wandering back and forth, Yang Qing attracted his attention.

"Who is that?"

He asked his assistant.

The assistant looked at the person he pointed to and said,

"That's the boss of the Headline Daily, or the boss of Many Stars; he came along with Yang Rong."

Dai Linzhi wondered.

"He didn't send an invitation?"

The assistant nodded.

"Probably not."

Dai Linzhi said angrily.

"Negligent."

"How could such a person be overlooked?"

"From now on, we should interact with him more."

After Dai Linzhi said a few words, the ball officially began.

Yang Qing went back and found Chen Hong.

He pulled her to an inconspicuous spot and they just swayed.

Many people disappeared during that time.

Half a day later, Yang Rong returned.

Yang Qing came over.

"Old man, what's the situation?"

Yang Rong said.

"It's still about the Star Ferry; let's pay attention to the people below."

"He's in a hurry."

Yang Qing had anticipated it, so he wasn't too surprised.

"Our people won't have problems; it's those half‑human, half‑ghost sorts that are unpredictable."

Yang Rong nodded.

"We shouldn't meddle too much in this."

Who knows what the future will bring?

No matter who we pick, it's a disaster.

After the ball ended, Yang Qing went home.

This time's harvest was quite abundant.

The connections sprang up instantly.

Afterwards, just maintain it slowly.

With Hu Lianxi sorting things out beside us, the Qingyun Business Consulting Company can be counted as a pillar.

After washing up, Chen Hong Household Chores him.

"Don't think I didn't see it."

"Tell me, what relationship do you have with that woman?"

Yang Qing was Household Chores-ed, then realized what taboo he had broken.

"By heaven's conscience, I really didn't do anything!"

"Zhang Now we need to output lines: English is our fellow villager, so a bit of familiarity is inevitable."

"They got married, just last year."

Chen Hong said doubtfully.

"Really?"

Yang Qing replied firmly.

"Truly, truly."

Chen Hong chuckled.

"Fine, this time you pass the test."

Yang Qing wore a look of melancholy.

"Daughter-in-law, shouldn't you have said this beforehand? If you act like this, I can't even hold on for an hour."

Chen Hong flushed slightly, and said confidently.

"That's just how I am, what, do you have an objection?"

Yang Qing quickly shook his head.

Chen Hong pulled him into her arms and said.

"I'm preparing to train martial arts properly, so from now on we'll sleep in separate rooms."

Yang Qing sprang up and sat up.

"What?" Is there such a good thing?

Chen Hong immediately twisted his ear.

"Why do I see you looking so happy?"

Yang Qing instantly showed a sad expression and denied.

"How could that be? I'm sorrowful."

"The two of us are heaven-made, earth-placed, tightly bound, a match made by heaven."

"Without you, how could I live?"

Chen Hong, delighted, poked Yang Qing's forehead with a finger.

"You could go to Qin Huairu's house."

"She's so shy, not exactly to your liking."

Yang Qing scoffed.

"I'm not happy at all."

"You still don't know me, a refined little cannon; what level is Qin Huairu?"

"Relying on her would suffocate me."

Chen Hong finally smiled.

"No, bring Chen Xueru over too, the two of them…"

Yang Qing blocked her mouth.

"Alright, alright, I'm really not interested. If I were, would I have waited until now?"

Chen Hong chuckled.

"You're boring, she's been thinking of you for a long time."

Then she whispered again.

"Mother once made a call, not knowing who to tell, that the Yang Family's members are too few."

"With such a huge enterprise, how can it run without people?"

"I thought about it, indeed that's the case; your company is expanding more and more, father's age is there, after a decade or so, they should also rest."

"Then, who will inherit all these companies?"

"So our family must marry ten or so more people to stay stable."

Yang Qing sat up and looked at her.

"Who taught you all this?"

Chen Hong said.

"It was what those ladies said today."

"I think what they said makes a lot of sense."

Yang Qing drew a black line in his head, realizing this is Mom's masterpiece; otherwise who would tell you these things.

He said seriously.

"Have you never thought that other people's children, when grown, will vie for power with our children?"

Chen Hong was indifferent.

"Your family business is so huge; if you don't give it to them, who will you give it to?"

"Give it to Rou Dan? He can't handle it either, and besides I can see it—he lacks the talent. Letting him tinker is one thing; letting him run so many companies is enough to make me angry."

Yang Qing, after Chen Hong's words, also started to get a headache.

The eldest truly has his ambitions elsewhere.

The second brother is still young and hasn't shown what kind of character he is.

It seems the future educational focus needs to shift; no matter how much one manages, one must also learn.

If one can't manage oneself, one can hire a professional Manager; if one knows nothing at all, they'll eventually be swindled to death.

Since it's a family enterprise, it indeed requires manpower.

Population is the foundation of the family; that's unavoidable.

So, am I destined to become a playboy?
