Chapter 400 - Intoxicated
Chapter 400 Intoxicated
The course of the matter was clear. The surveillance camera in the club had faithfully recorded all the details of the matter. With a filthy expression, William secretly put a drug in Ding Qianlie’s wine when she didn’t pay attention to him. He also exchanged looks with Chairman Zhu and gave a meaningful and understanding smile.
When William woke up again, he did not know he had fall into big trouble and shouted at Charles, asking him to arrest the people, but Charles gritted his teeth and slapped him hard, making him feel confused and lost.
Holman could deter Charles but could not deter Zhu Chang’an, who cried, called his brother-in-law, twisted the fact, and accused Purple Star Pavilion Club of bullying him and breaking his legs.
After hanging up, Zhu Chang’an pointed at Bai Qing arrogantly. “Wait, when my brother-in-law comes, I will break your limbs.”
“Okay, I’m waiting for your backers. Don’t complain I haven’t given all of you the chance. Now you can call anyone you want, and ask all the rescuers who you think can come to come!”
Bai Qing stood with his hands behind his back in a knot and sneered.
Looking at Bai Qing’s smiling appearance, the result of extreme anger, Ding Ning mourned Zhu Chang’an’s brother-in-law silently. “Others trap their father, but Zhu Chang’an traps his brother-in-law.”
After venting her anger, Ding Qianlie stood beside Ding Ning and whispered resentfully, “This is the result of leaving your sister alone. Will you dare to do this again next time?”
“Sister, I was wrong. I promise to stay with you next time, but then again, sister, why did you choose to attend this charity party? You don’t like such events, do you?”
Ding Ning smiled flatteringly and repeatedly promised that he would never make the mistake anymore. Then, he changed the topic and asked the question that confused him.
“This was caused by the development project of Fuxing Road Old Area. Initially, there was no such capital investment plan this year. Most of the group’s funds had been invested in other projects. After Hongda Real Estate collapsed, I thought that it was a good opportunity to make money, so I took it over. In the beginning, I thought that with the idle funds of the group and a loan that I could get from the bank, I could complete the project successfully, but I never expected that when Hongda Real Estate was developing the project of Fuxing Road Old Area, no one went to take its profit, but when we took it over, these Ninghai local real estate businesspeople came over like the hyenas who smelled the blood, and people of all kinds wanted to take profits from it. Although our Longteng Group was a giant, we are a Mi Country business. With the idea of earning a little less and winning public praise, I also intended to reach a preliminary cooperation agreement with these real estate builders and building material dealers.”
Ding Qianlie sighed quietly, with her tone full of resentment. “But I didn’t expect these people to be so greedy that they provided me with unqualified building materials to make profits. Out of anger, I stopped the agreement, and then these people joined hands. Led by Chairman Zhu, a title that doesn’t make sense to me, they carried out a comprehensive suppression of the development project of Fuxing Road Old Area. Nobody dared to provide us with building materials throughout Ninghai, and even all the banks were bribed by them, unwilling to provide us with a loan, by using the tension between Shenzhou and Mi Country as their excuse. Only William of Zhada Bank did not reject me thoroughly, and then I came to the party with a fluke...”
After hearing her sister’s detailed explanation, Ding Ning understood why her sister appeared here and blamed her unhappily, “Sister, why didn’t you tell me about the company’s problem? How much do you need now? Let me see if I have enough money.”
“Humph, you don’t want the shares of my company, so why do I want me to accept your money?”
Ding Qianlie said with resentment.
Ding Ning was shocked and said helplessly, “We are sister and brother, and we don’t need to tell what is yours or what is mine. Sister, yours is mine, and mine is yours.”
Ding Qianlie rolled her eyes alluringly at him and muttered jealously, “Someone speaks nicely, but he may not think so. He doesn’t want to accept Longteng Group I give him. This proves that he doesn’t want to share things with his sister, fearing that I will take his family property in the future.”
“Sister, I was wrong. Is it okay? Just let me off. It’s not that I don’t want it, but that I think I’m a man. How can I accept something that you have been working hard to get?”
Before Ding Ning finished his words, Ding Qianlie interrupted him with a straight face. “Don’t tell me so many reasons. You just don’t regard me as your sister. Since you don’t take Longteng seriously, I don’t need you to help solve the problem, which I will solve myself.”
“I... hey, sister, I accept it. Is it okay? Tomorrow, you can add my name to the shareholder list of Longteng Group. Is this okay?”
Ding Ning gave a wry smile and raised his hand to surrender because he did not know how to deal with this stubborn sister.
“Okay, this is what you said. Tomorrow morning, let’s go to the law firm to handle the equity transfer formalities.”
Ding Qianlie was afraid that he would regret and said instantly, with her eyes glinting with slyness.
“Okay, let’s do as you say. Tell me, how much money does the company need?”
Ding Ning accepted the offer helplessly.
“Because the Fuxing Road Old Area Project is a municipal project and also the one we took over from Hongda Real Estate, so the construction period is relatively short. If we want to reach the expected progress, we will need to fully construct the project at the same time, so the money we need is much. I’ve transferred the group’s money we can, but we still need about eight billion, and I can only take money from other projects by as early as March of next year.”
Speaking of serious business, Ding Qianlie’s expression also became serious. Eight billion were usually nothing to Longteng Group, but when large sums of money were invested in other projects, this amount has become an astronomical figure. She knew that Ding Ning was rich, but she didn’t think he could provide eight billion.
“Are eight billion enough?”
Ding Ning took out the bank cards that Halidan and Hengli gave him and handed them to his sister. “There are one billion Mi dollars in this card, and the current exchange rate is about 1 to 6.4, so this is about 6.4 billion Shenzhou currency. There is a total of 600 million pounds in the two cards, and the exchange rate is about 1 to 8.5, so this is about 5.1 billion Shenzhou currency. In total, there are 11.5 billion in the three cards. Is this enough?”
Ding Qianlie slightly opened her small, pink, tender mouth and looked at him, stunned for a while. She didn’t know where Ding Ning got so much money.
Seeing that her elder sister was silent, Ding Ning thought that the money was not enough and instantly took out his bank card. “There are about 1.8 billion yuan in this card, and you can take the money. If that is not enough, I can think about other ways.”
“Enough. Enough. You don’t have to. Take these cards back.”
Ding Qianlie came back to her senses and pushed his cards back instantly. Her beautiful eyes glinted with a different color, and a strange feeling came spontaneously.
Since three years ago when she used the one million Shenzhou currency given to her by her godmother as her start-up fund, earned her first pot of gold, and returned to her homeland to start a business, she had been working hard alone and had never relied on anyone.
In the business world, she was an invincible business goddess who could make successful business deals by devising strategies, but who knew how much pressure she endured behind the scenes for her splendid career?
The business world was like a battlefield. On this battlefield without gunpowder, every time she made a major business decision, she looked confident and calm.
But no one knew that in the first few days when she made every major decision that concerned the fate of the group, she would have sleepless nights, repeatedly calculate things in her mind to take into account all possible consequences, and make corresponding emergency plans.
It was easy to know that numerous brain cells and energy would be consumed, and the nervousness and the fear that she seemed to tread on thin ice made her physically and mentally exhausted and miserable.
But she had to repay the kindness of her godmother to her and must not fail the expectations of her godmother, so she never allowed herself to make any mistakes.
This time, taking over the Fuxing Road Development Project was her impulsive radical choice. The reason was very simple: She wanted to give Ding Ning a gift—building a villa in Fuxing Road Old Area where he lived for five years.
When evaluating if this project was feasible, the Intellectual Brain members gave such a result: “Disagree, this project is too risky.”
However, stubbornly driven by her strong will, the Intellectual Brain members finally compromised. With efforts made and a price paid, she got the project successfully.
The price of being impulsive was that the risks that the Intellectual Brain confirmed through assessment occurred frequently. Not only did the local developers, builders, and material suppliers collectively resist the project, but its capital chain also had signs of getting broken, and banks took this opportunity to do further harm: They used the tension between Shenzhou and Mi Country as the reason to refuse to provide a loan; a few other banks took this opportunity to urge her to repay the unexpired loans.
The group’s projects were too many. Once its capital chain was broken, the chain reaction would cause the entire Longteng Group to collapse instantly, and all the efforts Ding Qianlie had made would be in vain.
This was why the business goddess who had been domineering knew that William had a bad intension, but she had to come with the last trace of fluke and negotiate to reach a peace deal with the Industry Association.
No one knew how desperate Ding Qianlie felt with the last trace of sobriety when she fell into William’s arms under the influence of the drug.
But when she saw Ding Ning who seemed to descend from heaven, made William fly backward, and held her in his arms, she fainted with a smile in her mind.
After waking up, she broke the manhood of William and his partners, but she knew that she had offended the Real Estate Industry Association and it was not possible for her to get the loan anymore. Therefore, she had been mentally prepared to break the contract and compensate the government by selling all the coveted great projects of Longteng Group she had.
However, she did not expect that the funding problem that made her sleepless and restless was easily solved by the sunny and handsome little man in front of her.
At this moment, the business goddess, who had always been strong and arbitrary, suddenly had a feeling of reliance. She had not been sure about her feelings, but now she was sure.
Staring at Ding Ning’s straight figure and the slightly flattering warm smile on his handsome face, she could not help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth, and her cold heart had begun to soften as it became warm.
She thought proudly, “This is my man, the man who can protect me from rain and wind when I need to rely on him most.”
The funding problem had been solved, but the troubles caused by breaking Zhu Chang’an’s reproduction organ would appear one after another. She had to admit that the f*cking fatty was a b*stard, but he was a popular figure in Ninghai’s real estate industry, and it was not easy to face his revenge.
Ding Qianlie knitted her beautiful eyebrows, feeling a little regret that she was too impulsive just now. If she had not broken his organ, there might have been room for negotiation, but now she had great trouble.
“Sister, don’t worry. I can deal with everything. He is only a small vice-chairman of the industry, and he can’t control everything.”
Ding Ning seemed to see her worry, took out his mobile phone, walked aside, and made two calls.
“Whom did you call?”
Ding Qianlie’s eyes glittered with radiance. She suddenly realized that she could not see through the little man.
But Ding Ning smiled mysteriously and did not answer her question directly. “You just wait and see. In this world, no one can bully my sister, including the most powerful person.”
When Ding Qianlie heard his confident, domineering declaration, a trace of deep intoxication appeared and vanished in her eyes, and she thought shyly, “The little man looks really handsome now.”
Xiao Nuo came earlier than Zhu Chang’an’s brother-in-law. She stormed in with a crowd of policemen, went straight to Ding Ning, and asked with a frown, “What happened?”
But her eyes turned intentionally or unintentionally to the stunning Ding Qianlie, giving off faint and light hostility.
