Chapter 230: Chapter 230: New Opponent
"Zhang Guoping wants to pursue Zhao Xiao’an!" Wang Chenning didn’t hide anything and explained the key points to the two women. "He was secretly involved in my previous conflict with Li Mingchao and the Lin Annian siblings. Luo Yuqing has wanted to deal with him for a while now. Now that we have the chance today, do you think I’d let him off the hook?"
Wang Chenning’s two simple sentences left Yang Xiaomi, who didn’t know the full story, still confused.
Zheng Qiuhang, who knew much of the backstory, had a general idea of what was going on, but she still had many questions.
After a moment of thought, she turned and instructed Yang Xiaomi, "Miss Yang, could you please go to the manager on duty and ask for another fruit platter for me? Any fruit rich in vitamin C will be fine."
Yang Xiaomi paused for a second, understanding Zheng Qiuhang’s intention. She agreed and immediately walked out.
After Yang Xiaomi left, Zheng Qiuhang leaned close to Wang Chenning and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ning, are you getting ready to take down Zhang Guoping?"
Wang Chenning then briefly explained the situation with Bai Qianxun. After speaking, he added, "Bai Qianxun and Zhang Guoping have always been very close. I’m guessing they’ll team up to deal with me. Since I’m already planning to take care of Bai Qianxun, there’s no way Zhang Guoping can avoid it.
"Because of Zhao Xiao’an, Zhang Guoping won’t let me off. He’ll definitely make a move against me, especially after finding out that Zhao Xiao’an’s grandfather appreciates me and has made me his personal physician.
"Since the opportunity presented itself today, I’ll give him a little taste of what’s to come and let him know that I’m the type of person who repays every slight."
Zheng Qiuhang nodded and asked, "Li Mingchao seemed a bit off today. I think he was trying to stir up trouble."
"He definitely wants me and Zhang Guoping to clash so he can reap the benefits. After I left the Li family’s old residence tonight, Li Baoguo probably had a long talk with the brothers, and they wouldn’t dare disobey him. Li Mingchao might have already realized that cooperating with me is far more profitable than opposing me. Besides, the poison I gave him hasn’t been fully neutralized yet!"
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Qiuhang asked again, "Brother Ning, are you really planning to make Zhao Xiao’an your girlfriend?"
"What if I said I want to have several girlfriends?" Wang Chenning looked at Zheng Qiuhang with a playful expression. "Would you call me a scumbag?"
"Huh?" Zheng Qiuhang was a little slow to react.
Wang Chenning continued, "To be honest with you, I’m a very greedy person. I want to have a lot of everything, no matter what it is. So, anyone who thinks I’m a scumbag can stay away from me."
Zheng Qiuhang froze for a moment, then immediately understood what Wang Chenning meant. Her heart suddenly started beating much faster.
Wang Chenning ignored Zheng Qiuhang’s reaction and went on, "You’ll see, the number of businesses under my name will just keep growing. I’ll start with the traditional medicine industry. I already have a certain standing and a voice in this field, and in the future, my status will only get higher, my words will carry more weight, and the profits will grow larger and larger."
Zheng Qiuhang immediately flattered him, "Brother Ning, you’re amazing! All those descendants of famous masters actually took you as their teacher. I’m so proud of you!"
Wang Chenning smiled and continued, "You’ve been performing well. I certainly recognize your abilities, and I’ve seen your loyalty. If you don’t have other plans, then just keep working for me. In any case, I definitely won’t treat you unfairly. As long as you’re capable enough, all the other businesses I acquire will be placed under your management."
Wang Chenning waved his hand, signaling for Zheng Qiuhang not to interrupt. "And don’t get any dirty ideas. I value you because of your ability, and because I believe you’ll be loyal to me. As for anything else, that wasn’t on my mind when I decided to use your talents. As long as your ability and loyalty are sufficient, I will continue to trust you."
"Brother Ning, I feel like a knight willing to die for a lord who understands them!" Zheng Qiuhang was very moved.
Wang Chenning smiled and continued, "The way things are with Li Mingchao, I’ll most likely have him join our team in the future. When that happens, he’ll probably send a representative to help with management. If he sends someone over, they’ll be under your authority too. I have a lot of major collaborations with Luo Yuqing and Yang Xiaofei. Once things are formally settled, I’ll have you participate as well. As for you, you need to keep improving yourself, both in your ability to get things done and in your decisiveness. You have to make everyone recognize and trust you. Otherwise, your job will be very tiring."
After a pause, he added another reminder, "You also need to maintain good relationships with them—whether it’s Luo Yuqing, Yang Xiaofei, or Zhao Xiao’an."
"I understand!" Zheng Qiuhang understood what Wang Chenning was implying and immediately nodded in agreement. "Brother Ning, I definitely won’t let you down!"
Wang Chenning then brought up Yang Xiaomi. "Yang Xiaomi has a good following. I’m planning to recruit her to work for me. Li Mingchao will definitely get Blue Light Film and Television for me, and it will also be under your management. With Yang Xiaomi as a pillar, and if we pick a few other somewhat famous celebrities, we should be able to get a proper show on the road."
"Brother Ning, don’t worry. Even if I have to work day and night without eating or sleeping, I will get all of this done!" Zheng Qiuhang also shared her own thoughts. "If the number of departments I’m managing increases, then I’ll stop managing the day-to-day operations of these clubs and hand them over to the newly appointed managers."
"Of course, that’s the way to do it!" Wang Chenning reached out and pinched Zheng Qiuhang’s cheek, smiling. "You’re so capable, that’s why I don’t really meddle in the affairs over here!"
"But you have to come see me often!" Zheng Qiuhang looked at Wang Chenning, her pretty face slightly flushed. "If you don’t visit for a long time, I’ll miss you!"
"I won’t help you with your ’treatment’ today. We’ll see if I have time tomorrow. I’m heading out of town the day after tomorrow and won’t be back for several days." Wang Chenning smiled, then asked Zheng Qiuhang to call Yang Xiaomi back in.
After Yang Xiaomi came back in, Wang Chenning spoke bluntly. "I’m sure you know that after what happened tonight, if you don’t work for me, you’ll probably be blacklisted across the entire internet. I’ve obtained shares in Blue Light Film and Television and will definitely be the controlling shareholder. So, do you want to join us, or continue with your previous plans?"
"I’m willing to work for Teacher Wang!" During the time she was out of the room, Yang Xiaomi had thought things over and made a new decision.
The last time she saw Wang Chenning bullying Lin Annian, Yang Xiaomi had actually already considered this possibility, but at that time, Wang Chenning and his friends had ignored her.
Now that Wang Chenning was paying attention to her, she certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
’Besides,’ she thought subconsciously, ’Wang Chenning is taking me in because he definitely has improper designs on me.’
’I probably wouldn’t refuse if Wang Chenning wanted to use the ’casting couch’ on me.’
’The man isn’t just handsome; he’s incredibly powerful. If I can latch onto a man like this, I’ll have nothing to worry about in the future.’
Little did she know, Wang Chenning only saw her as a pawn—not a very important one, but the opening move in his challenge against Zhang Guoping.
What Yang Xiaomi knew even less was that at this very moment, Zhang Guoping was also planning to use her to deal a heavy blow to Wang Chenning...
