My Life with Narration-Chapter 308 - 305: Wen Jingqi’s Shock

Meanwhile, in a private room of a star-rated restaurant, two men sat facing each other.

"Everything is going smoothly, Boss Wang, let’s toast!" said the slightly younger-looking man with a smile as he raised his glass.

The man wearing loose-fitting exercise clothes with a round figure also raised his glass: "This is indeed worth celebrating. We can’t miss this drink, haha!"

The two were none other than the eldest of the Wen Family, Wen Jingqi, and the chairman of West Building Jiaoyang Materials Company, Wang Zheng.

Logically, Wang Zheng was older and more experienced, so he should be the senior. But from the tone of their conversation, they seemed to be equals, with Wang Zheng even subtly acknowledging Wen Jingqi as the lead.

Primarily because the company Wen Jingqi took over was built by Wen Jingqi’s grandfather. He represented the old man, who was one of the pioneers in Jiang City’s real estate development. The connections amassed over the years are quite formidable, not to mention the wealth.

Especially the Wen Family. In terms of liquid assets, they might be ordinary compared to peers, but they have a lot of real estate.

From residential buildings, storefronts, to office buildings, commercial towers, and department stores, these real properties continuously provide them with funding. The conversion rate is far superior to banks, making it a guaranteed profitable venture.

The two clinked their glasses and took a sip. Then Wen Jingqi spoke, "It’s all thanks to Boss Wang stepping in and blocking Xu Feng’s supply. Otherwise, who knows, he might have escaped unscathed."

Wang Zheng waved his hand repeatedly: "It’s only right, this Xu Feng, I admit he has means, but he shouldn’t have tried to take advantage of my daughter. A million isn’t too much nor too little, but my silly daughter even signed an investment contract with him, and now she can’t get it back!"

"Indeed, but this is our first collaboration. We can’t let you lose out, right? Boss Wang, if you’re interested, you could take over Xu Feng’s company. I can get someone to work it out, and you should be able to acquire it at a reasonable price.

I’ve looked into this company. The equipment and systems are all well-established. It’s just the cash flow that’s broken. Boss Wang, just find someone knowledgeable to manage it," Wen Jingqi said with a smile.

The conversation between the two was quite interesting. It seemed like Wang Zheng was saying that Xu Feng took advantage of his daughter, so he had to retaliate. But in reality, he was hinting to Wen Jingqi that if Xu Feng’s company goes bankrupt, he’d be losing a million for nothing.

He was expressing his losses and expecting some compensation.

Although even if Xu Feng’s company didn’t go bankrupt, he knew he probably wouldn’t get his million back, at least not in the short term. But given the situation, he couldn’t both make an effort and lose money.

And Wen Jingqi, being an experienced businessman, naturally understood the implication and offered a solution.

Xu Feng’s company is indeed bound for bankruptcy, and Wang Zheng’s money was not going to be recuperated, but compensation could be sought elsewhere.

For example, taking over Xu Feng’s company and the factory in the suburbs. The equipment and properties inside are certainly valuable, enough to cover taxes and penalties.

Regarding the appropriate price, Xu Feng will certainly not be able to hold onto his company if he wants to plug the tax loophole. By then, Wen Jingqi could utilize his connections to press down the price. Getting it down by a million is nothing. Then with Wang Zheng injecting funds, the factory would become a profitable venture again.

Xu Feng’s cash flow issue isn’t really a problem for these two. The amount Xu Feng needs is trivial to them.

Xu Feng is only about thirty-five. No matter how capable, there should be a transition period in the real industry, right?

But the two at this meal have been in business for years. One took over his father’s business. Although Xu Feng may be outstanding among the younger generation, his company is merely a small factory in their eyes, at most a medium-sized one, never a large-scale factory.

If it were a large-scale factory, the equipment alone would surpass a small target. The total value wouldn’t dare claim to be less than a billion or eight hundred million.

"Alright, then I’ll trouble Boss Wen!" Wang Zheng was satisfied with this suggestion, as he had no other options.

Even though taking over the company means putting more money into it, that’s for himself. Turning an investment division into personal profit, how can that be the same?

"It’s nothing, just what needs to be done!" Wen Jingqi raised his glass with a smile.

Wang Zheng also raised his glass in acknowledgment, and the two exchanged smiles, understanding each other without words.

For those with wealth, maneuvering against opponents in business is so simple. Financial dominance, coupled with networking, allows them to play however they want.

Of course, that’s in the physical industry. The internet industry resists these tactics a bit more.

The internet lacks physical presence and focuses mainly on online-centric industries.

Moreover, comparatively, the internet doesn’t require accumulation like the physical industry. With the right opportunity, it’s possible to establish a billion or multi-billion-dollar corporation in a short time.

Making money online can be more lucratively quick than in the physical industry.

Putting down his glass, Wen Jingqi suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know Su Qing, Boss Wang?"

At these words, Wang Zheng was taken aback: "I’ve met once!"

"What’s your impression?"

"A bit hard to read!"

Hearing this, Wen Jingqi couldn’t help but be taken aback; he didn’t expect to hear such an evaluation from Wang Zheng.

After all, according to his sister, the other party was just a young man in his early twenties, practically a teenager, yet he could elude the perception of someone as seasoned as Wang Zheng, which was beyond his expectations.

"What do you mean?" Wen Jingqi asked.

In response, Wang Zheng took a deep breath and finally sighed, "To be honest, I’m quite ashamed. We’ve actually met once, but my understanding of him is trivial, while he seems to understand me thoroughly. He doesn’t just understand my background; he even seems to know what I’m thinking. In conversation, he always hits the key points and notices the essentials.

To put it this way, after chatting with him once, I felt completely seen through, as if he had held the upper hand the entire time, while I couldn’t see through him at all. He’s quite a remarkable young man, always possessing an inexplicable confidence and composure."

The reason Wang Zheng described Su Qing as having an inexplicable confidence and composure was because he still hadn’t discovered where Su Qing’s composure came from. He had a normal family background, a normal education, attended an ordinary university, so everything about him seemed ordinary.

If Su Qing were to hear this old fox evaluating him like this again, he would definitely laugh heartily. He had no confidence at all; he was clearly just minding his own business and staying indifferent.

Did this matter have anything to do with him? It was Shen Yi’s company that had issues. As a shareholder, the landlady naturally had an impact on her, but he was just an employee. Even if the deal fell through, what did it matter to him? It wasn’t his money on the line.

Moreover, the meeting with Wang Zheng happened after the landlady contacted his older brother. Under such circumstances, whether Wang Zheng could make the deal or not didn’t matter much. At most, it would spare Xu Feng from a terrible outcome, but that was about it.

He had initially gone out to enjoy some songs at a brothel, but ended up listening to two hours of opera instead.

Listening to Wang Zheng’s words, Wen Jingqi couldn’t help but gasp in amazement. How could there be such a person?

To be honest, if it was purely about experience and manipulation, he likely wasn’t as skilled as Wang Zheng right now. Wang Zheng had lived at least a dozen more years than he had, and now that Wang Xing spoke in this way, it couldn’t help but make him cautious.

Was someone like this being so close to his sister good or bad?

If what Wang Zheng said was true, with such scheming, his silly sister might end up counting money for him after being sold out. It seemed tomorrow’s meeting should be more cautious.

The next day, Su Qing quietly ate breakfast. Today, he didn’t go to work, nor did he go to the police station. Even Big Huang was unusually given a day off.

Perhaps Shen Yi felt ashamed, as she hadn’t come over to mooch a meal today, which was quite rare.

After all, in his living room hung a bloodstained bedsheet and a stained nightgown.

In order to embarrass Shen Yi, he deliberately took pictures and posted them to his Moments, showing them only to her. Ah, he was just playing.

And so Shen Yi ended up with insomnia, currently consulting with the landlady next door on her phone.

"What should I do? He posted in his Moments, my face is gone! Qing Jie, go take the sheet and the pajamas for me, please!" Shen Yi pleaded, shaking Wen Nanqing’s arm.

If it had been something else, she would have dealt with it alone long ago. But having done such a thing and been found out left Boss Wen embarrassed, feeling quite publicly shamed. At this moment, she didn’t dare go next door for fear that Su Qing would ridicule her face-to-face.

Seeing her expression, the landlady rolled her eyes, "That’s what you get; you should have been more careful during your period. Now you know how to feel ashamed.

I always knew you had some weird quirks, but I didn’t expect you to be this quirky. Sleeping in someone else’s bed and wearing someone else’s nightgown, yikes~~~ so creepy!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi’s face turned crimson, and she covered her face with both hands, stomping in place, "Stop saying that, I’m begging you, stop, I can’t even handle it myself. Qing Jie, please help me!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing shook her head decisively, "I’m also afraid of losing face! A divorced widow barging into a young bachelor boy’s room to steal a nightgown? Sorry, I still have some dignity. I can’t afford that embarrassment, and besides, I’m not as quirky as you!"

"Then what should I do? If this isn’t resolved, I’ll have no face anymore!"

Seeing this, the landlady took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and replied, "Actually, there is a way."

Then she took off the stockings from her leg and threw them to Shen Yi.

"Uh... Qing Jie, are you planning to seduce him?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.

But in the next second, she was tapped on the head.

"Nonsense, you go yourself!"

"Do I put these on and go seduce him?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Wen Nanqing: "The stockings are for you to put over your head, to prevent embarrassment!"

Shen Yi: ...
