Chapter 551 - : Shocked
Chapter 551: Shocked
In fact, Su Yang had only been there three times. All three times, he went there to meet Jiang Yan.
Su Yang’s first visit was when he was still very weak. At that time, Wang Dong had been fired. Hence, in order to help him regain his job, Su Yang used [Fruit-Loving Pen] and looked painstakingly for an entire day before he found Jiang Yan’s location. Then, he personally went to persuade her.
The result was, of course, Jiang Yan’s rebuttal. In the end, Su Yang was met with defeat although he was very confident when he went there.
However, it was precisely because of this that Su Yang, in a fit of anger, pulled Wang Dong along to start a business and embarked on the current development path Su Yang was on.
The second time was a few months after Su Yang sent Jiang Yan’s girlfriend, Qiao Anna, to jail.
After sending Qiao Anna to jail, Su Yang had been paying attention to Jiang Yan’s every move. He wanted to see if the daughter of the most powerful family in China would seek revenge on him and if she would use her connections to get Qiao Anna out of jail.
Later, he realized that even though the woman had a problem with her sexual orientation, she was still an open and honest person. Even though she was always depressed, she did not make any moves.
Hence, Su Yang took the initiative to meet her, testing her while he was at it.
Su Yang thought that since the two of them had such a past, Jiang Yan would most likely not be interested to want to have anything to do with him. In the end, he realized that he was mistaken. Other than accepting her defeat, Jiang Yan had no other emotions.
Thus, this caused Su Yang to decide he would befriend her.
Su Yang’s third visit was after Sanque’s oral serum was produced. Su Yang visited the bar and gave Jiang Yan a box of it. Jiang Yan accepted it indifferently and did not say anything. However, from her actions, it seemed like she had dropped her hostility towards Su Yang and considered him a friend.
‘Come to think of it, Jiang Yan can actually be considered as my benefactor. Our first conflict led me on the path of self-improvement, while the second conflict gave me a medium-sized company for free, allowing me to gain a foundation for my career.
‘However, in all seriousness, both conflicts actually had nothing to do with the both of us. The first conflict was between Wang Dong and her and the second was between myself and Qiao Anna.
‘In the end, I even benefited from it.
‘Since the other party doesn’t care about these things anymore, there’s no need for me to keep harping on it. After all, I’m the one who has the upper hand.
‘Furthermore, through my interactions with Jiang Yan and Young Master Ying, my enmity with Zhao Xiao and the tactics the Fengs have used against me this time have made me feel that the children of those who stand at the top of the country are mostly young talents.
‘For example, the second generations who would cause trouble everywhere in novels and movies were either right at the bottom of the power chain, or those who deliberately made things ugly for the commoners.
‘It’s obvious that their parents were the cornerstones of the country. They had received the best education and had the most experience. Other than those useless people, most of them were talented people. Hence, how could they possibly make such a humiliation of themselves?
Therefore, even though I have had the upper hand in a few of my confrontations, I would never underestimate these people. If I could gain a friend, then I would rather have one less enemy. Of course… If they are my enemies, I’ll kill them! I won’t give them a chance to even breathe!’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang entered Lamoda Bar.
Lamoda Bar was still the same as always. There were fresh flowers everywhere, exuding the fragrance of the flowers. Also, the bar was filled with cartoonish decorations under the warm atmosphere. Lastly, there were beautiful foreign paintings and gorgeous chandeliers. All of the above made it look more like a flower shop than a bar.
Jiang Yan, as always, was standing at the bar counter, so Su Yang walked over towards her.
She had cut her hair short and was wearing a black leather jacket and pants. She looked valiant and handsome as she leaned against the bar to quietly drink.
Su Yang sat down beside Jiang Yan and knocked on the table. “A 10 yuan cup of water. Thank you.”
The first time Su Yang visited that bar, he had ordered this. At that time, he was so heartbroken.
Jiang Yan also clearly remembered that matter, hence she couldn’t help but smile. She raised her glass and took a sip before she calmly asked, “Is something the matter for you to see me today?”
Su Yang nodded and went straight into the topic. “Do you miss Qiao Anna?”
The moment Qiao Anna’s name was mentioned, Jiang Yan’s face darkened.
As a person with a red blood flowing in her veins, especially since her grandfather had been leading the country for more than ten years, Jiang Yan’s family background could be said to be at the peak, hence explaining her extremely high tastes.
When Qiao Anna and Su Yang were enemies, Su Yang used a scheme to force her into the battle. He forced Qiao Anna into a backstab which led her to jail. To Jiang Yan, that was definitely a humiliation.
Other than the humiliation, Jiang Yan also started to investigate Su Yang and Qiao Anna. She wanted to know what was going on between them and what kind of person Su Yang was.
After she found out that it was Qiao Anna’s fault, Jiang Yan felt less disgusted with Su Yang. However, in the blink of an eye, she realized that while she was investigating him, Su Yang had already grown up unbeknownst.
‘Ever since Su Yang received my compensation, Su Yang’s development rate could only be described as a rocket. He’s involved in online films, while also managing a management agency, a film company and a health supplements company. Also, he has invested in developing artificial intelligence and was praised by the country. Now, he’s bought a piece of land and is making a cinema film.
‘Su Yang’s each and every step was both fast and steady. It’s like he’s cheating.
‘However, aside from being shocked, I think he’s a really capable person. He isn’t a shameless person who relies on petty tricks.’ At that thought, Jiang Yan gradually acknowledged Su Yang.
Therefore, when Su Yang tried to test her, she took the initiative to express her intention of becoming friends instead of enemies.
However, that was the end of it. The two of them were not friends who could talk about anything, nor were they best friends who would insult each other.
Therefore, when Su Yang “mocked” her to her face and tore open her scars, Jiang Yan, who had a bad temper since she was young, instantly became unhappy.
She slammed the glass on the bar counter and said in an unpleasant tone, “Did you call me just to provoke me?”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Anger], [Anger], [Restraint]…
Looking at the notification of his Silver Ability, Su Yang, who was deeply experienced, merely smiled. He did not seem to mind at all as he shook his head. “No, I’m here to discuss a collaboration.”
Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Yang, waiting for his explanation.
The bartender brought over a glass of ice water. Su Yang took it and took a sip before saying to Jiang Yan, “Although I feel that Qiao Anna went overboard back then, I have already achieved my goal of punishing her and my anger has dissipated. Therefore, I feel that turning hostility into friendship would be good for everyone.”
Jiang Yan’s eyes lit up. Then she calmed herself down and asked, “What are the conditions?”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Doubtful], [Excited], [Happy]…
Su Yang curled his fingers and gently tapped on the bar. “The Fengs has filed a report that I bribed a few related departments and broke the rules to obtain land and loans.”
Before Su Yang could finish, Jiang Yan shook her head. “I can’t help you with this.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Disappointed]…
Su Yang said, “Hold on, listen to what I have to say first.”
After that, Su Yang told her about the Fengs’s scheme and how he came up with a solution. Su Yang hoped that Jiang Yan could send a message to the city through her family to request for the city’s big shot to investigate the other big shot. However, she had to clearly state Su Yang’s circumstances.
After all, Su Yang had received special approval at that time. There was a meeting in the city as well, hence it was completely legal and there was no bribery involved at all which would be very easy to prove.
After hearing Su Yang’s words, Jiang Yan pondered for a good five minutes. She took a sip of wine and shook her head. “Not enough.”
Su Yang asked, “What’s not enough?”
Jiang Yan said, “Conditions. Your conditions are not enough.
Su Yang smiled and said, “Your girlfriend is priceless.”
Jiang Yan shook her head firmly. “Qiao Anna isn’t worth this much. Besides, I’m the one who has to personally save her.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Serious]…
Su Yang cleared his throat. “I could help you fish her out as well. It’ll definitely be discrete.”
Jiang Yan glanced at him and didn’t wish to respond to his meaningless statement.
Then, she took a sip of wine and put down her glass. “100 million yuan for 10% of your company’s shares.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Testing]…
Su Yang was stunned for a moment. ‘100 million yuan? 10%? This means that my company is valued at one billion yuan? It’s already a unicorn company.
‘Jiang Yan really thinks highly of me even before the value of my company has become apparent…’
However, Su Yang shook his head without hesitation. “No.”
Jiang Yan said, “Name a price then.”
Su Yang shook his head again. “I won’t sell it regardless of the price.”
Jiang Yan did not understand Su Yang’s persistence. She glanced at Su Yang.
“Do you know how short of funds you are at the moment? I’m giving you money to help you.”
“Others might suspect that you have a powerful background, but I know that you don’t. You have relied on yourself to grow to where you are now. This has also led to your foundation to be extremely weak.”
“You may have been developing very fast now and you’ve been investing in all kinds of projects for the past few months, but do you have any money left? Even if I help you get through this matter, the Fengs can use other methods to break your financial chain.
“Then, what are you going to do then?”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Sincere]…
Su Yang chuckled and took out his phone from his pocket. Unlocking it, he opened the stocks he had on WeChat and pushed his phone to Jiang Yan.
When Su Yang took out his glass phone, Jiang Yan’s eyes lit up.
When Su Yang pushed the phone over, she picked it up and examined it carefully. She realized that the “phone” was completely transparent. ‘This looks like a piece of glass without any electronic components at all. So how does it operate?
‘Could this be Su Yang’s new product?
‘How is this possible?
‘The cell phone industry isn’t just about the software, it includes the hardware as well!
‘Could Su Yang have developed a new type of material and used it to create a cell phone?
‘If this is true, then the value of Su Yang’s company would far exceed my imagination.
‘I’m a little shocked.
‘I feel that I may have underestimated Su Yang.
‘How did this person in front of me do it? Within just one year, he’s developed the best artificial intelligence in the country and even… Developed a new concept phone?
‘While the other cell phone manufacturers are still studying about foldable screens, cameras and fingerprint recognition, Su Yang has already completely developed a glass phone?
‘Although I don’t know how effective it is, just this concept alone will allow him to have a ten year lead ahead of the rest of the world.
‘I have no doubt that if this phone is sold on the market, it would revolutionize the industry like how Apple 3G was first introduced. In fact, it might even affect the world for more than ten years.’
While feeling shocked, Jiang Yan picked up the phone. ‘This isn’t heavy at all, it’s so light.’
On the screen was the internal browser of WeChat, and at the top was written [WeChat Stock Exchange].
‘This isn’t even a prototype? It can actually have WeChat installed as well?
‘The functionality of this phone is much higher than I guessed.’
Just as Jiang Yan was thinking that, her eyes finally fell on the screen.
The screen was very bright and had very vibrant colors. On the page, there was an even more “gorgeous” number.
[Today’s Profit/Loss: + 31,477,200 yuan]
[Shareholding Profit/Loss: +271,250,000 yuan]
[Shareholding Total Market Value: 346,250,000 yuan]
Jiang Yan was stunned.
Then, her pupils slowly widened.
She took another look at the page in disbelief. After making sure that she did not see wrongly, she could no longer maintain her composure. Her mouth slowly opened, and for the first time, she gasped in shock before Su Yang. “What the…”
