Chapter 485: 481. Looking Forward to the Day of Recognition (Seeking subscriptions, monthly tickets!)

"Very well, since Elder Wang has said so, then I shall shamelessly accept it," Zhang Ran finally said.

Immediately, the two chatted for a few moments before returning to their respective rooms to rest.

They were both tired.

As for Fan Hong and the others, they seemed to have been forgotten, but they dared not leave, nor did they dare to do anything; they could only stand obediently in the living room and wait.

Once they returned to the room, Wang Yicheng said, "Dad, since Zhang Ran already said he didn't want it, and you participated in this gambling match specifically for his sake, even staking your own reputation as the Gambling King, you could have completely withheld it."

That was one billion!

Although Wang Chen said it lightly, it was not a small sum.

Wang Chen smiled faintly: "Do you think Zhang Ran's favor is more important now, or this one billion?"

Wang Yicheng opened his mouth but had nothing to say.

If it were before, he would have said without hesitation that the one billion was more important, but now he had seen through some things, so he did not know how to respond.

"Remember, sometimes favors are more important than money. Haven't you seen Zhang Ran's influence yet? Take these people like Fan Hong, for instance—if we let our family handle it, would we have found them so smoothly?" Wang Chen said.

Wang Yicheng shook his head honestly; this was something their Wang Family truly could not do.

"Don't be limited by what you have always seen. Starting from today, I will step behind the scenes, and you can begin to slowly take over our family's industries," Wang Chen said.

Wang Yicheng felt a bit excited upon hearing this, but also somewhat worried. In the past, no matter what happened, his father was always there to back him up, but now that he had to take charge, he felt a bit insecure.

"It's fine. I have also reflected on some of my past actions; perhaps I was a bit too worried. Take it slow, and besides, don't we still have outside help? This favor is more useful than me at critical moments," Wang Chen said with a smile.

Qiu Qianyang and Mu Jinyuan met again. As soon as they met, Qiu Qianyang questioned him: "Mr. Mu, tell me what we should do now."

Mu Jinyuan was somewhat silent; it seemed he was the one in the wrong now.

"Did you really have no other choice at the time?" Mu Jinyuan still managed to say this.

Qiu Qianyang glared at him instantly and said, "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, just wanted to ask," Mu Jinyuan said after taking a deep breath.

Qiu Qianyang said coldly, "Of course I had a way."

Mu Jinyuan frowned, but before he could question him further, Qiu Qianyang continued: "But that would have required staking all of my current casino businesses. Has Mr. Mu forgotten? Chairman Wang was watching from the sidelines the whole time. Did you really think my gambling skills far exceeded his, and that I could swap cards without him noticing a thing?"

"Or is Mr. Mu blaming me?" Qiu Qianyang sneered.

Mu Jinyuan stopped talking and just fell silent, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

"Mr. Mu, don't forget, if you hadn't given me a look just now, I wouldn't have participated. But now that we've lost, you owe me an explanation, don't you?" Qiu Qianyang said coldly.

Yes, in the end, it was Mu Jinyuan who gave Qiu Qianyang a look, prompting him to join in.

Although Zhang Ran had already agreed in advance, if Qiu Qianyang had not participated, it was highly likely Zhang Ran would not have followed suit.

He had also prepared to return Qiu Qianyang's money after winning, but now they had lost, and lost so miserably—it was just a hair's breadth away.

"After some time, I will convene another board meeting and will cede a portion of the interests in Galaxy Capital," Mu Jinyuan said, taking a deep breath.

He knew that at this moment, he could not act as if he knew nothing; he had to give Qiu Qianyang an explanation.

Qiu Qianyang's face immediately lit up with joy: "I knew Mr. Mu wouldn't let me suffer a loss. However, I want to enter the board of directors, the core level."

Although Qiu Qianyang was a director of Galaxy Capital before, because he joined a bit late, he was only on the periphery. He could not see many of the deep-seated things within Galaxy Capital, especially the things he wanted, which were hidden tightly by Mu Jinyuan. Over these many years, he had only gained a tiny bit.

Now this opportunity was perfect, so he took the chance to put forward his request.

Mu Jinyuan also knew that Qiu Qianyang had always wanted to enter the true core level. He had many excuses to refuse in the past, but at this moment, it was truly difficult for him to refuse.

"Very well, I will propose it when the time comes," Mu Jinyuan said.

Even now, he did not doubt Qiu Qianyang in the slightest, because although they lost this time, it had little to do with Qiu Qianyang; it was his own overconfidence, believing that his hand could absolutely not lose.

The two talked for a long time. After Mu Jinyuan left, Qiu Qianyang also departed, a faint smile on his face, though he did not appear overly happy.

However, once he returned to his own residence, the joy on his face could finally no longer be hidden, and he could not help but burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha." After all these years, his long-cherished wish was finally about to be realized. Once he entered the core level, he could do many things, including searching for evidence from back then.

This had been his pursuit all along, so at this moment, Qiu Qianyang laughed very heartily.

He had clearly just wanted to find an excuse to give some money to Zhang Ran, but now, not only had he delivered the money to Zhang Ran, the amount far exceeded his previous imagination.

He knew that Zhang Ran must be very short on cash right now, and he also knew that Zhang Ran was about to go to war with the Huamei side.

So he had found an excuse, just wanting to send some money to Zhang Ran; he hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

Furthermore, he could finally enter the core level of Galaxy Capital.

Lin Huiqin was initially a bit worried; she had also heard about the gambling match, but she discovered that her husband was not angry at all, but instead appeared very happy.

Was this too much of a shock?

Had he gone crazy?

Lin Huiqin said worriedly: "What is wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Seeing his wife, Qiu Qianyang laughed, picked her up, and kissed her on the cheek, "It's nothing, your husband is happy today, hahaha."

As he spoke, he could not help but laugh out loud again; it was clear that he was truly happy.

Lin Huiqin was also made somewhat shy by this sudden attack, as Qiu Qianyang had never been like this before.

All along, Qiu Qianyang had been suppressing his emotions and rarely had moments of great emotional fluctuation.

It had only been slightly better in this past year.

But the current Qiu Qianyang was somewhat uncomposed. She had never seen such a Qiu Qianyang before, yet Lin Huiqin was very happy, because she could see that her husband was happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Did you encounter some good news?" Lin Huiqin said with a smile.

"Yes, good news, a massive piece of good news," Qiu Qianyang muttered to himself in reply, then looked into the distance, in the direction of Wang Chen Manor.

"I believe Big Brother Zhang must have guessed something, right?" Qiu Qianyang said to himself in his heart, then he touched his cheek, feeling a trace of melancholy, but even more so, excitement!

Ever since he learned last year that Zhang Ran was not dead, his long-suppressed emotions had finally found some release.

And now that he had the possibility of helping Zhang Ran, his mood was very good and he was very excited; it wouldn't be long before they should recognize each other.

Qiu Qianyang was looking forward to it, or rather, Xiao Long was looking forward to it!
