"So, how about it? Interested in working for me?"
"Young Master Ma is joking. President Kun trusts me so much, I can't let him down." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "I'll visit you sometime."
“Okay, I definitely have to go, haha.” Ma Chenglong laughed heartily, then said, “It seems that you held back in the fight between you and my subordinate before. If you really went all out, Gerson would never be your match.
Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying: "Young Master Ma, it's getting dark, and this place is dangerous at night. Let's go back quickly and see what President Kun has thought about it."
"Okay, let's go back." Ma Chenglong had a great day and was in a very good mood. The group took the rope they had used to get out of the valley and then drove back to Liu Kun's territory.
As soon as they arrived at the club, Liu Kun had someone call Ye Xingchen over, seemingly to discuss something with her.
Besides Ye Xingchen, Sang Qing was also present.
Sang Qing is Huang Tai's man, so he must be present for any major decisions.
Seeing Ye Xingchen come in, Sang Qing said, "Alright, Brother Kun, everyone's here. Let's start discussing what to do."
The current Sang Qing doesn't harbor as much hostility towards Ye Xingchen as before. Firstly, Ye Xingchen saved his life, and secondly, it seems that the matter he went back to investigate has yielded results.
"Alright, Brother Ye, how was it at Savage Valley this afternoon?" Liu Kun asked.
"Fortunately, there was a slight accident, but Young Master Ma had a lot of fun." Ye Xingchen smiled and briefly recounted what happened in Savage Valley that afternoon.
"Is that so?" Liu Kun was taken aback. He said with lingering fear, "It's fortunate that Brother Ye was here. Otherwise, Young Master Ma would have been in grave danger today. If something had really happened to him, this route through Nanshi would have been completely cut off."
"It's alright, it's all in the past. Brother Kun, let's talk about serious matters. You should have already spoken with Young Master Huang about what he meant by Young Master Ma's request," Ye Xingchen asked.
"Young Master Huang didn't give me any clear instructions, and told me to decide based on the situation," Liu Kun said. "That's why I'm a bit undecided, and that's why I'm here to discuss it with you two."
“What’s there to discuss?” Sang Qing glanced at Liu Kun: “Given your personality, you’re cautious and careful. Giving him 40% of the share would definitely make you tremble with fear. Moreover, the risks involved are too great. If anything goes wrong, no one can afford to suffer the consequences.”
"So what do you mean?" Liu Kun asked.
“I don’t mean anything by it. Anyway, you’re in charge of everything here, and I can’t control the overall situation.” Sang Qing spread his hands: “After losing the Sanka line, we’ve recently had overcapacity and a lot of goods piling up, so I think our top priority is to find a new partner.”
“Brother Qing is right.” Ye Xingchen pondered for a moment and said, “I haven’t been here long, so I can only offer my own opinion on this matter.”
"Young Master Huang's goal is to open up a route from the Iron Triangle area. Once this route is successful, the sales channels for our goods will open up significantly. In terms of the current market in China, our business will expand by at least two times."
"Currently, the Ma family in Nanshi is the most suitable. If we use this place as a breakthrough point and succeed, that would be the best outcome."
“If it doesn’t work, we won’t lose anything, right?” Liu Kun suddenly realized: “Anyway, the rule in our business is that money is exchanged for goods.”
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean." Ye Xingchen said, "As long as we hand the goods over to Ma Chenglong, whether we succeed or fail is none of our business."
“It’s not that simple,” Liu Kun sighed. “Ma Chenglong will require us to transport it to their southern city and deliver it to a designated location.”
"This kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, even better than his dad," Sang Qing said resentfully. "So we're supposed to be bodyguards for him?"
"Brother Kun, how about this? I can take care of the delivery. I guarantee there won't be any problems on the way, but the condition is that his money is in place before we leave." Ye Xingchen pondered for a moment.
“You need to understand that although the journey from Xuancheng to Nanshi isn’t too far, there are patrols coming from time to time. Although these patrols are scheduled and we can avoid them, no one can guarantee that nothing will go wrong.” Liu Kun stared at Ye Xingchen: “If something goes wrong, it could be fatal.”
“I know, that’s why I went in person. I saved Ma Chenglong’s life today, so getting him to make the payment first shouldn’t be a problem,” Ye Xingchen said. “Besides, I personally accompanied him on the delivery to ensure there wouldn’t be any issues on the way.”
"Like this?" Liu Kun paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, still somewhat undecided.
“Brother Kun, you need to have some faith in your brother Ye.” Sang Qing grinned. “I think he can handle this little thing.”
Liu Kun stopped and glanced at Sang Qing, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Sang Qing to speak up for Ye Xingchen.
Although he and Ye Xingchen weren't exactly sworn enemies before, they did have some friction. What happened this time?
“You’re right, I should have some faith in my brother Ye.” Liu Kun nodded slowly, then turned to look at Ye Xingchen: “Alright, it’s settled then, I’ll go talk to him.”
"Okay." Ye Xingchen nodded.
Ye Xingchen and Sang Qing left the room together, and Sang Qing called out to Ye Xingchen.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xingchen asked, turning around.
“Today I sent my most trusted brother to my hometown. She’s still here… and has an eighteen-year-old son,” Sang Qing said. “Although I didn’t have a DNA test done, judging from the photos my brother sent back, his face does look somewhat like mine…”
"Congratulations then." Ye Xingchen smiled. He finally understood why Sang Qing had spoken up for him tonight.
"Thank you for saying I've found a reason to live." Sang Qing paused, then said, "My heart condition..."
"You must quit drinking, smoke less, and absolutely avoid things like ecstasy and marijuana," Ye Xingchen said. "If you do these things, I can cure your illness. If you can't, don't come looking for me. I can save you once or twice, but not for a lifetime. Besides, someone who's courting death isn't worth my time."
"Okay, okay, I'll quit. I'll listen to you." Sang Qing nodded, looking somewhat helpless. "My lifestyle has been too bad over the years. It's time to change. I used to have no hope and felt that there was no meaning in living in this world. But it's different now."
“Things are definitely different now.” Ye Xingchen glanced at him and said, “You’ve found hope to live now. When I get back from Nanshi, I’ll help you cure your heart disease.”
“Okay…” Sang Qing nodded, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said, “Thank you.”
