Ning Yuan narrowed her big eyes: "Oh, really? You didn't do it."
Ning Bingyu leaned back in his chair, lazily took off his frameless glasses, and said into the phone, "Of course, even when I'm in the mainland, I still need my dear sister to help me mediate, don't I? Besides, I'm a law-abiding citizen, how could I do such a thing?"
Ning Yuan didn't speak for a while before saying coolly, "Ah, you're right. Actually, I came to tell you that I did this."
Ning Bingyu paused, then narrowed his eyes dangerously: "...You did this?"
That shamelessness!
Ning Yuan said matter-of-factly, "What else? You're unfamiliar with the place and people in the mainland, and you still need me, your younger sister, to mediate things. If I didn't take care of the cockroach, who would have done it?"
Brother Pigeon Sausage, you use people facing forward and don't use them facing backward, right?
She tapped the microphone and said coolly, "See how swift, decisive, and ruthless I am in dealing with cockroaches? You're missing one of the remaining nine containers. I'll immediately contact my friends in Beijing and invite the Zheng and Guo families to dinner to see if they're interested in entering the mainland market."
Ning Bingyu took a deep breath and sneered maliciously: "With your abilities, what can you possibly do to influence this matter? Rely on your man? Don't forget what kind of person Anan is. You can't control him for a single penny when it comes to these serious matters!"
Ning Yuan laughed too, drawing out her words: "Oh, really? Big brother, I used to find it really annoying to spend a damn summer in Beijing, but now I think it's not so bad. Besides meeting a bunch of scumbags in Beijing, I also met a lot of good people. After all, the mainland market is so big, there's no reason why only you can do it."
Ning Bingyu laughed angrily: "Have you forgotten your surname is Ning? If Mommy hadn't gone to Beijing to help you, who would you know? I got your man's medicine. If he had used those lousy drugs from the mainland, he wouldn't be out of the hospital right now!"
Ning Yuan laughed coolly: "Oh, so what? It's not like I can't have my surname Ning. I know people, not just through Mommy. Speaking of which, you dare to tell Mom you want to confiscate nine of my shipping containers?"
Ning Bingyu choked, gritting his teeth: "Ning Yuan... what else can you do besides threatening me?!"
"I just hope you'll be more careful in the future. It's dangerous to play those shady tricks of the Hong Kong government on the mainland. There was no death penalty in British Hong Kong, but there is on the mainland." Ning Yuan snorted.
What was the Hong Kong government like in the 1970s and 80s?
It's all a collusion between corrupt police and gangsters. If these upper-level businessmen didn't have some underhanded tactics, they would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even bones. She can understand that.
Even though the security situation in mainland China is chaotic right now, there are still some things you should avoid.
Ning Bingyu looked coldly at the setting sun outside the window: "I've already said I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm a law-abiding citizen in both the mainland and Hong Kong, but..."
He changed the subject, saying with a half-smile, "You'll be going to the Hong Kong government too. I'm glad you have your own insights into the Hong Kong government's way of doing things."
Ning Yuan: "..."
She paused, then chuckled lightly: "Whatever, but stop trying to test my obedience. I'm not Cha Meiling, nor am I one of those women around you who have designs on you. You've already managed to scare Cha Meiling away!"
The guy with the pink sausage always bounces back from time to time, trying to get her under his thumb. Is she really that easy to manipulate?
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Hearing the dial tone on the other end of the phone, Ning Bingyu slammed the receiver down in annoyance and sneered—
"It's only because she feels indebted to Mommy that this piece of char siu dares to be so arrogant. She's dreaming! What do you mean, 'my woman'? I would never look at a woman like her in my eighteen lifetimes!"
Tony was silent for a moment: "...I've already told you, young master, don't mess with Miss Seven. Every time you do, you end up getting angry yourself."
Ning Bingyu: "Hmph!"
He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sunset outside, and casually lit a cigarette.
"Tony, have you finished dealing with this matter?" Ning Bingyu slowly put on his glasses, as if his anger just now was just an illusion.
"Everything has been taken care of. We gave the girl a sum of money, enough for her only sister's future tuition and living expenses. She said she had no other regrets. Of course, everyone who contacted her has disappeared, and she can't say anything even if she wanted to, but..."
Tony paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully: "It seems that Shaw... is prepared to die."
"Well, it's good that there's nothing to regret. She chose this path herself, so she can't blame anyone else," Ning Bingyu said calmly, his tone completely unwavering, as if he were discussing the weather.
He tossed the lighter onto the table with a soft click, his tone laced with sarcasm: "When a woman gets carried away by her emotions, she's prone to bringing misfortune upon herself and her entire family."
Tony was silent for a moment, unsure who the young master was mocking, so he changed the subject to something more serious, "Young master, when Miss Chu came last time..."
"She came to make demands, and I agreed." A playful smile flashed across Ning Bingyu's handsome face.
Ning Bingyu stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, and the scene of Chu Hongyu's last visit to him came to mind.
A girl in a lilac-purple dress sat opposite him, the setting sun shining through the French windows, casting a hazy glow on her beautiful face.
Her eyes were clear and firm, without a trace of hesitation or fear.
“Young Master, I have thought it through. I am willing to accept your offer to be your assistant, and a full-time one at that.” Her tone was calm, but carried an undeniable determination.
"Oh?" Ning Bingyu merely raised an eyebrow, took a sip of his coffee, and asked without much surprise, "Not studying anymore?"
"Not really, I just feel that I might learn more by working under Mr. Ning, so I have two conditions." Chu Hongyu's lips curled into a faint smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes; instead, it revealed an indescribable sharpness.
"Oh? What are your conditions?" Ning Bingyu interlaced his fingers, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Chu Hongyu with interest, wanting to see if she had any other requests.
This girl may seem delicate, but deep down she has a strong, unyielding spirit. Having been cheated on by a man from a poor background, she probably won't believe any poor, pedantic scholar's nonsense again.
"First, I will only take half of the salary from the Hong Kong government, but please help me secure admission and tuition for the Department of Finance at the University of Hong Kong. Once you get the admission letter from the University of Hong Kong, I will withdraw from Fukuda University."
Chu Hongyu spoke calmly, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
Ning Bingyu raised an eyebrow, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, but his tone remained nonchalant.
"Dropped out of Fudan University? I heard that university students in mainland China are assigned jobs, not hired through application. Aren't you disappointed?"
"Besides, studying abroad in mainland China is now all government-sponsored. The first batch of people went to the United States on government-sponsored scholarships at the end of 1978, which is the end of the year before last. Isn't it a bit of a pipe dream for you to want to enroll in the University of Hong Kong now?"
Chu Hongyu looked at him and smiled, “I believe that for you, getting a degree at the University of Hong Kong is much easier than expanding into the mainland market.”
She was only responsible for setting the conditions; how to solve the problem was not her responsibility.
If the boss thinks she's worth it, he'll naturally resolve the matter.
