As Ning Bingyu listened to the phone call, hearing the clicking sounds coming from inside, he could instantly imagine Ning Yuan's gloating expression.
A vein bulged on his forehead, and he opened his mouth to curse, "Your char siu is truly a piece of 'Kan Jiafu'..."
He swallowed the word "expensive" back down his throat.
Damn it! He forgot that this girl with char siu (barbecued pork) shares the same blood as him. Cursing her whole family to die is the same as cursing his own whole family to die.
"Tsk, what does Big Brother want to say? Come on, tell me, and I promise I won't tell Mommy you cursed her to die!"
Ning Yuan ate a sweet watermelon on the other end of the phone, smiling broadly, and her mood improved even more.
Even through the phone, I could picture Ning Bingyu's gloomy face!
Ning Bingyu took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "Don't be so smug. Let me tell you frankly, if someone else were to become the president of Ning's Group, you and Mommy wouldn't be living as easily as you are now, understand?"
Ning Yuan lazily spat out a few watermelon seeds: "Oh, Young Master Ning, I'm just an outsider. If the Ning family gives me wealth, I'll accept it. If they don't, I can still get to where I am today on my own."
It's foolish not to take advantage of a bargain, but even if she doesn't get one, she can still rely on herself.
Ning Bingyu paused, his shrewd and sharp eyes behind his glasses deepening.
Indeed—the reason he couldn't control Char Siu Girl and couldn't send her to a marriage alliance as originally planned with his uncle was because she was different from the other members of the Ning family.
She can thrive in the mainland without relying on the Ning family at all, which is the source of her confidence that she didn't give him any face from the very first meeting.
In fact... he still needs her help in some situations.
Ning Yuan squinted her big eyes and took a bite of the sweet watermelon: "As for Mommy, after she stuffed the jade chili pepper that belonged to you, the future heir, into my worthless daughter's hands, she was still able to sit firmly on the throne of the Ning family's matriarch. That shows that she is even more difficult to control."
Her older brother's rhetoric couldn't fool her.
Ning Bingyu gazed out the window for a long time, then suddenly lit a cigar and said calmly—
"Heh... alright, you don't need to pay me for this batch of goods. If you're willing to help me, I can provide you with ten containers of goods. Whatever products you want, as long as they're not drugs or weapons, you can pick them."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan immediately laughed and sat cross-legged on the octagonal chair: "Oh dear, you should have said so earlier, brother. Look how much more sincere you are now."
She casually tossed the watermelon rind into the trash can: "But... you're suddenly being so willing to spend so much, is there some bad news coming from the Ning Group headquarters?"
Ning Bingyu looked at the burning cigar in his hand, made no attempt to hide anything, and succinctly recounted the matter of the Hong Kong government's board of directors impeaching him.
Ning Yuan is no longer the naive girl she was in her previous life. Perhaps it is because of her years of hard work and experience that she has developed a much sharper business acumen.
She immediately understood: "Is the board of directors impeaching you on behalf of your eldest cousin Ning Man'an, or on behalf of Chairman Ning Zhengkun?"
Ning Bingyu exhaled a puff of smoke, his expression indifferent: "Is there a difference? Even if they disagree, they are still father and daughter. My uncle is still observing the situation, but I must secure my position as CEO of Ning's Group."
This was the second time he had discussed business with Ning Yuan; there weren't many people qualified to do business directly with him.
Ning Yuan thought for a moment: "You need my help, but I can only ask around. I won't interfere with any decisions made by the 'mainland guests'. I can't interfere with their decisions either. Think carefully about whether you want these ten containers or not."
Now, besides the Ning family, the Zheng family and the Guo family are also in contact with mainland guests.
Therefore, Ning Bingyu said that the mainland market is very important now, or rather, the attitude of 'mainland customers' is very important.
Ning Bingyu readily agreed: "Deal. The first container I'll prepare for you will be electronic products. Based on the development of the mainland, the main categories will be various radios, tape recorders, and cassette tapes."
Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Big brother is indeed the best. He's so savvy."
Doing business with Cheap Brother is so convenient. He knows that CEOs like him have valuable time and there's no need to waste time on petty gains. Efficiency is the top priority!
"I'll go back to school right away and find out why Hongyu is no longer in charge of handling scholarship matters with Ning's Group. Once you get your plane ticket, I'll fly to Beijing and let you know as soon as I have any news." Ning Yuan was very sincere.
In business, you have to be sensible. If you're sincere, I'll be sincere too.
Ning Bingyu chuckled lightly: "Alright."
After finishing his business, he was about to hang up.
"Hey, wait a minute, you haven't told us what Lu Jingui did yet!" Ning Yuan immediately stopped her.
She had finished negotiating the business with the cheap older brother, but she hadn't heard any gossip about Young Master Ning yet!
Ning Bingyu's eyes turned cold. He was about to say something to Ning Yuan when a rude knocking sound came from outside the door: "Knock knock knock."
His brow furrowed, and before he could even have someone open the door, it was suddenly pushed open.
"Mr. Ning, don't you think you've gone too far?" A cold, slightly hoarse female voice rang out loudly at the door.
Then came a slender figure, wearing a dark blue electric silk cheongsam that reached her calves, with curly hair falling to her waist, and a plum blossom watch on her delicate wrist.
In the blink of an eye, it looked like a beautiful woman from the Republican era standing at the door.
Well, that's assuming you don't look at this "Republic of China beauty's" face, where the nasolabial folds and crow's feet are made more pronounced by the thick layer of white foundation she's wearing.
Ning Bingyu ignored her and instead turned his gaze to Mark and David standing beside her.
Mark and David's sleeves and collars had clearly been pulled, making them look rather disheveled.
Ning Bingyu lightly adjusted his glasses and asked coldly, "Have you forgotten the rule that no one is allowed to enter my office without permission?"
They looked at each other guiltily: "Young Master, it was our negligence..."
Lu Jingui interrupted them coldly and rudely: "Mr. Ning, why are you putting on airs here? You personally agreed to the interview and the article request. But I've been here for a week, and you've never personally received me, let alone agreed to an interview!"
As she spoke, she pointed at Mark and David, her eyes blazing with anger: "You're just sending these penniless youngsters to deal with me? Do you look down on me, or on my writing? No matter what, I'm a student at Fudan University, and a contributing writer for the Evening News!"
Mark and David, who were both penniless, instantly turned pale.
Comparing their educational backgrounds? One graduated from MIT and worked with Ning for five years, while the other graduated from UCL. David is younger, but he has been working at Ning's for three years!
