As he gazed at the bustling scene outside the window, Tang Qing squinted his eyes. He had visited the Shanghai Stock Market in his previous life, but only toured a few famous attractions before hurriedly leaving, new as it was to him. But in this life. He plans to study in this city. How long he would stay, four years or more, he didn’t know. Perhaps he might even go on to further his studies. The future was uncertain, meant to face itself, but the likelihood of him continuing his studies was high. The reason being simple. He had become accustomed to being a hands-off boss, preferring to let professionals handle their respective fields. He knew his business acumen was practically non-existent, and he didn’t want to manage bureaucratic affairs daily. If that was the case. Why pressure himself under such heavy workload. To work? That would depend on his mood. An hour and a half later, the car arrived at a fairly large Sichuan restaurant. It was rush hour, and people were bustling about. After this car ride, Tang Qing was truly convinced that taking the metro was better. Punctual and fast. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦 Driving was indeed tiring, with the need to wait for traffic lights and feeling impatient when stuck in a jam. After parking the car. Shen Yi pointed to the big signboard not far away and introduced, "Brother Tang, this is the restaurant that I mentioned. I have already reserved a seat." To be honest, Shen Yi felt quite useless, extremely conflicted. He could’ve followed other second-generation kids, but he didn’t want to do business for making money, instead, he believed that sincerely doing what he wanted was more interesting. "It looks good; this meal is on you, come to my place to crash tonight." said Tang Qing, nodding. He didn’t mind taking advantage of Chai Ren’s wealth, since Chai Ren was wealthy, but Shen Yi, on the other hand, was a different story, there was no point in making life difficult for an honest man. "Your place?" Shen Yi asked, surprised. He didn’t know whether Tang Qing had booked a hotel or bought a house in Shanghai beforehand. "Yes, you’ll find out in a moment." Tang Qing nodded and smiled, not giving further details. Of course, he was referring to the villa that he had renovated. For convenience, he had arranged for the Villa to be taken over before he came to Shanghai, and it was tidied up nicely. Now, everything was ready. In a moment, he would reveal some things to Lin Jiaxue. With that, they entered the restaurant. Lin Jiaxue and Li Kai had no idea what Tang Qing’s riddles were about. They entered the private room and sat down in succession. Shen Yi handed over the menu, Tang Qing didn’t decline. He ordered a few dishes that he and Lin Jiaxue liked, then handed it to Li Kai. Li Kai, knowing his place, ordered one and handed the menu back to Shen Yi. Shen Yi swiftly ordered the remaining dishes to make up the volume, knowing that Tang Qing had a big appetite. The waiter took the menu with a respectful bow and went to get the food. "Brother Tang, sorry for the simple conditions, it can’t be compared to fancy hotels, please excuse us." Shen Yi apologised again, feeling awkward serving Tang Qing this meal considering his net worth. But he really couldn’t bear to show off and splurge. Fucking hell. He can’t possibly ask for money from home, right? "They all serve the same purpose, no need to be so courteous. How’s work? Are you satisfied?" Tang Qing waved his hand and laughed. "Very satisfied. I’m eagerly awaiting my chance to play a cameo in a film. I just don’t know which one it will be in the end." Shen Yi was enthusiastic when he started talking about this topic. It was almost the end of August, and it was unsure what the first film produced by the Comet Film and Television Company would be about. But as an investor and producer, it should be no problem for him to play a minor role. Tang Qing remained silent with a smile. Although Shen Yi was somewhat neglectful of his main duties, his passion for cinema was admirable. Not being passionate about one’s profession would be a problem. It wasn’t long before the dishes were served. Truth be told, the food at the restaurant Shen Yi recommended was really good. They eat and chatted, and Shen Yi outlined the plans for the next few days. There were things that he couldn’t say, so he kept them to himself. After the meal and some tea, they exited the restaurant. "Brother Tang, where are we going now?" Shen Yi asked. He had been wanting to ask since Tang Qing mentioned going to his place. "Just follow my car." Tang Qing gave a mysterious smile, looking at the roadside. Shen Yi was stunned, following Tang Qing’s gaze. "Your car?" Shen Yi saw a big Mercedes parked by the roadside, identical to the one he was driving. Tang Qing thought for travel purposes, the Mercedes model used by his second uncle was not bad. He didn’t like cars like Maybach or Rolls-Royce; they were too mature for his taste. Two burly men in black stood in front of the Mercedes, straight and mighty. Shen Yi swallowed hard, Could these be Tang Qing’s men? Had he already bought a house here beforehand? Shen Yi thought it more probable the more he thought about it. "Brother Shen, just follow me. Stay at my place tonight." Tang Qing told Shen Yi directly. "Ah, okay." Shen Yi answered immediately. Having said that, Tang Qing turned towards the somewhat confused Li Kai, "You will take Brother Shen’s car later. I have some things to talk to Jiaxue about." Regaining his senses, Li Kai immediately nodded and said, "Alright, I understand." The two quickly got into the car. Then, Tang Qing pulled the confused Lin Jiaxue into his Mercedes. Upon seeing this, Lin Jiaxue felt bewildered. What was happening? What did Tang Qing want to talk to her about? They got in the car. The car started slowly. Tang Qing, holding Lin Jiaxue’s hand, looking into her eyes, smiled slightly and said, "Jiaxue, are you wondering what I’m going to tell you? Well, let’s start with something easy to accept. This car is mine, and I also have a villa in the suburbs of Shanghai." After Tang Qing finished speaking, Lin Jiaxue immediately widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and asked, "Where did you get that? Did your uncle give it to you?" She immediately suspected wealthy Tang Kai. Tang Qing shook his head and said, "No, it’s mine. You know I have a mysterious friend, a really powerful one, who helped me make a lot of money. That’s how I got where I am today. The car you see and the villa we are about to arrive at are just a small part of what I own. I also have many companies, for example, Sheng Tang Group." Tang Qing once again mentioned a name that made Lin Jiaxue’s heart tremble. Sheng Tang Group. Now who doesn’t know how big Sheng Tang Group is, it’s always advertised on CCTV, and it’s the pride of Qingyan City. But Tang Qing said Sheng Tang Group is his, could it be true with the same surname ’Tang’? "Is Sheng Tang Group really yours?" Lin Jiaxue couldn’t help but ask. "Yes, I hold an absolute majority, with ninety-seven percent of the shares. It was the first company I set up. I also own others, like Sky Eye... " Tang Qing introduced all his businesses one by one, but he didn’t mention anything about the territories or the loan company, Fenghua Asset Management Company. All this information sounded like gibberish to Lin Jiaxue. The man she loved, her childhood sweetheart, had built such a large empire in such a short time. He was a big boss with thousands of employees. Lin Jiaxue felt she knew Tang Qing less and less. Remembering how Tang Qing never seemed to worry about money before, Lin Jiaxue started to believe him a bit. "So, you’re richer than my uncle?" Lin Jiaxue asked curiously. By company count alone, Tang Qing outclassed her uncle. Tang Qing shook his head, smiled, and said, "No, no, no, my assets are still a bit less than your uncle’s. His assets are estimated to be close to four billion RMB now. But my companies don’t make that much money. All together, they are worth less than two billion RMB." "..." Lin Jiaxue fell silent for a while. Her mind was in turmoil. What Tang Qing said tore down her perception of him. Tang Qing had achieved so much silently and in such excellent manner. Lin Jiaxue felt a bit flustered. With such an outstanding man like Tang Qing, could she... Seeing Lin Jiaxue’s uncertain expression, Tang Qing didn’t hesitate and held Lin Jiaxue in his arms. The two hugged tightly, feeling Tang Qing’s heartbeat. Lin Jiaxue gradually calmed down. "Jiaxue, remember, no matter how rich I am, you will definitely be my wife in the future. Got it?" Tang Qing said in a domineering tone. He was afraid Lin Jiaxue would overthink it. "Yes." Lin Jiaxue, being simple-minded, chose not to think too much. Knowing that Tang Qing would be her future husband was enough. Everything else didn’t matter. Seeing Lin Jiaxue accepting all these, Tang Qing finally felt relieved. On the way, Tang Qing explained in detail about every company he owned, picking out things he could talk about. This made Lin Jiaxue feel even more admiration for Tang Qing. Holding this man in her arms Lin Jiaxue made a vow in her heart: she must try hard, hard enough to be a good match for this man. An hour later. The car arrived at the villa complex built by Huang Qi. The place had changed significantly from before. When they arrived at the entrance of the villa. The car was stopped by the security guard. "Hello, please get off the car to register." The security guard saluted and spoke politely. The car in front had a pass, but it wasn’t the homeowner’s, so they had to register every time they came in and out. Tang Qing rolled down the car window, handed over a scenic card, and said, "I’m the homeowner of villa number three, you can check." The security guard was startled, then immediately remembered the situation of villa number three. He took the card and scanned it. Sure enough, Tang Qing was indeed the homeowner of villa number three. He immediately said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Tang, welcome home. Since the homeowner is here, there’s no need to register. Please." "Thank you." Tang Qing nodded and smiled. Watching the two cars enter, the security guard quickly tried to memorize Tang Qing’s face to avoid forgetting next time. Villa number three was kept by the major shareholder of the villa complex, and it was the largest one. Entered the villa complex. Arrived at the entrance of villa number three. The numbering of the villas wasn’t based on size, but location. Otherwise, Tang Qing’s villa would definitely be numbered one. In a short while, the car entered the spacious villa. Although it was night, the outline of the villa could be seen. There were four stories from top to bottom, and with the basement, there were five stories. The villa was surrounded by a tall fence, with thorny spikes on top. A huge courtyard had a fountain in the middle, dazzling under the neon lights. "It’s so big." Li Kai exclaimed. This is Tang Qing’s villa? Does he need to flaunt his wealth like this? He was totally unprepared, whereas Shen Yi was a bit better, his surprise only lasted for a moment. After parking the car in the underground garage, Tang Qing led the group into the grand living room. The huge chandelier made the living room as bright as day. The luxurious decorations and furnishings, carefully arranged, presented an outstanding beauty. At this time, there were already several servants lined up in the living room. To clean such a large villa every day required a lot of energy, so Tang Qing had exchanged many ordinary-looking male and female fighters, again. They could do the housework and also serve as bodyguards. Best of both worlds. "Jiaxue, this is our home in Shanghai." Tang Qing simply introduced.
