Chapter 849 – Glooming a powerful assistan
With all the dispute resolved, the ward returned to silent. However, everyone had different feelings.
Su Mu’s emotions were fluctuating. She initially wanted Su Tao’s help in treating her cousin. But not only did Su Tao treat her cousin, but he even stood up for her cousin against Zhang Kun.
As for Tian Xinxin, she was grateful for Su Tao’s help. Just a moment ago, she heard that Zhang Kun would compensate her with ¥500,000 tomorrow. Although money couldn’t quell the pain in her heart, it could make her feel balanced. So it turned out that there was justice in the world, and you will be punished for what you did.
On the other hand, Dai Liang felt helpless. He wanted to help Tian Xinxin, but he was still too weak. After all, Su Tao had merely used a few words to make Zhang Kun lower his head. If he wanted to protect someone he loves, he needed strength other than courage!
Today’s incident was a lesson to him.
Ye Sheng did not leave with his friends as he invited Su Tao to a nearby restaurant. Su Tao requested Ni Jingqiu to ask Ye Sheng and Ye Ling out to discuss life with Ye Sheng. Now that he found an opportunity to talk to him privately, Su Tao had no reason to refuse.
After sitting down on his seat, Su Tao smiled, “Thank you for resolving this matter for me, so I should be treating you to this meal. Don’t fight with me for the bill or I’ll be unhappy.”
Ye Sheng was stunned by Su Tao’s words. He was completely surprised by the drastic change in Su Tao’s attitude. At the same time, he was also satisfied. After all, he had given Su Tao face today in the hospital.
The restaurant had just opened recently, and there weren’t many customers. So the owner was incredibly meticulous in welcoming his customers. After Ye Sheng made his order, the owner immediately got the chef to start cooking.
“There’s something that I’ll like to ask you. You have to be honest with me on this one.” Ye Sheng smiled.
“What is it?” Su Tao smiled. “I will never lie to my friends.”
Su Tao was pondering if Ye Sheng was trying to get secrets of his patients in the National Healer Team. Even if Ye Sheng asked him about it, Su Tao would naturally not reveal them. After all, it would be a violation of his medical ethics and principles.
“Are you interested in my sister?” Ye Sheng gave a mysterious smile.
As Su Tao laughed, he immediately figured out what made Ye Sheng think that way. Ye Sheng must have misunderstood that Su Tao was trying to woo his sister by asking them out on a meal.
Looking at Su Tao’s reaction, Ye Sheng thought that he had guessed it correctly and smiled, “Actually, you can just ask my sister out if you want. If you require my help, I can ask her out on your behalf. If you’re getting Ni Jingqiu to ask them out, it will only make things complicated.”
“Your sister is truly gorgeous, but I’m not compatible with her. I’m asking her out for something else.” Su Tao shook his head.
“You don’t have to undervalue yourself. My sister has a favourable opinion about you. Who knows if you can get her if you’re hardworking enough. My sister might be aloof, but I can feel what she’s feeling as her twin brother. Since I have a favourable impression of you, I’m sure that she will not reject you.” Ye Sheng replied in disdain with his brow raised.
Since young, Ye Sheng was already used to seeing people trying to woo her sister. But Ye Sheng had a favourable opinion of Su Tao. So if Su Tao wanted to woo her sister, Ye Sheng wouldn’t mess things up, and he might even help the two of them to get together.
Su Tao might not be a local in Beijing, but everyone in Beijing had acknowledged his deeds. It was especially when Qin Jingyu had his wings clipped by Su Tao. It felt satisfying when Ye Sheng heard about it. Qin Jingyu was too arrogant, and there weren’t many people who could suppress him.
Seeing Ye Sheng trying to incite him into wooing his sister, Su Tao smiled bitterly. When the waiters served the dishes, Su Tao gave a mysterious smile, “I’m actually more interested in you.”
“AH?!” Ye Sheng was shocked by Su Tao’s words and dropped his chopsticks. His face turned pale with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
“Not the kind of ‘interest’ that you’re thinking.” Su Tao smiled bitterly. “I think that we can cooperate.”
“Damn, you scared the shit out of me.” Ye Sheng laughed as he placed a piece of barbequed pork in his mouth and asked, “What do you mean by cooperating?”
“Are you interested in firearm business?” Su Tao lowered his voice.
Ye Sheng was stunned by Su Tao’s words. His facial expression had turned solemn with a glow in his eyes.
Ye Yilong was in his study room. The lights in his room were lit even at midnight as he had to manage the Ye Family’s affairs as the patriarch.
His study room was exquisitely decorated. Aside from his office desk, there was also a set of table and chairs. He had famous paintings and calligraphies hung on the wall. Even the decorations on his desk cost at least in the millions.
As drizzling rain smacked onto the window, Ye Yilong stretched himself and turned to his advisor, “It’s getting late. You should get some rest.”
His advisor nodded towards Ye Yilong and left the room. Shortly after, the door was knocked as Ye Sheng’s voice rang out, “Dad, there’s something that I will like to talk with you.”
“Come in.” Ye Yilong sighed. His son was all brawl and no brains. Compared to his twin sister, he still lacked the temperament of a young patriarch.
When Ye Sheng entered the room, he was cautious before his father. Compared to Ye Ling, Ye Yilong was stricter when it came to educating his son. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have trained Ye Sheng from a young age and even send him to fight in underground arenas.
“What is it?” Ye Yilong pointed at the chair, signalling for Ye Sheng to sit down as well.
However, Ye Sheng did not sit down as he looked at Ye Yilong, “Dad, I would like to discuss something with you. I want to do something great.”
“Something great?” Ye Yilong laughed sourly in sarcasm. “May I ask what can you even do?”
Ye Sheng was fuming when he heard the disdain in his father’s tone. His father had always been this way since young, thinking that he had no future prospects. This was the reason why Ye Sheng had been training himself with all his might to make himself stronger. But even after he had an accomplishment in martial arts, his father’s evaluation of him was all brawls with no brains.
Ye Sheng yearned for his father’s acknowledgement. “I met Su Tao today, and he provided me with a business opportunity. He can connect me with Hamza. If I can clear up some relationship and possess the qualification to sell firearms, I will be able to walk into this industry.”
When Ye Yilong heard Ye Sheng’s words, he was somewhat shocked, “You intend to do something as dangerous as Qin Jingyu?”
“Since Qin Jingyu can do it, I believe that I can do it as well.” Ye Sheng nodded his head.
“This is a dangerous industry. The reason why Qin Jingyu could do so well wasn’t only because of the support of the Qin Family, but the Dragon Group as well.” Ye Yilong reminded.
“Nothing starts easy. You once told me that I could only know the result after trying. Regardless if I succeed or fail, at least I’ve tried.” Ye Sheng was firm.
Ye Yilong gave a conflicted look at Ye Sheng. Firearms dealing were dangerous, but it was also filled with opportunities. China had changed drastically compared to the past. Many descendants of influential families have gone out to compete in the international platform, that includes the gold mines in South Africa. It was a layout for the family to gain a footing in the global platform. Ye Yilong never imagined that the prodigal Ye Sheng would have such ambitions. Although he was filled with hesitations, he was also filled with emotions.
It was a dangerous path, and Ye Sheng might face life-threatening dangers.
“Do you best since you’ve made your decision.” Ye Yilong ultimately agreed with his son. “I’ll bring you around to meet a few elders tomorrow. Before going into this industry, you need to have your research done.”
Ye Sheng knew what Ye Yilong wanted to do. He was trying to teach him more knowledge about the firearms industry. The Ye Family might be influential in Beijing, but they couldn’t receive support from just words alone.
Since Ye Sheng wanted to go into this industry, then he would have to convince those elders.
Then again, Ye Sheng was brimming with confidence. When he ate with Su Tao, the latter had already introduced him to the business process. And with Hamza as a powerful backing, Ye Sheng was confident of convincing them.
Shortly after, the news of Ye Yilong bringing Ye Sheng around houses got to Qin Jingyu. Qin Jingyu’s face was pale as he gulped down a mouthful of liquor. He had never felt such a setback in his life.
“Young Master Qin, don’t drink too much.” Tong Zuoqing sighed. This was the first time he had seen in Qin Jingyu quelling his sorrow with alcohol.
“Just a little.” Qin Jingyu sneered as he slammed the glass on the table.
“I never expected that Su Tao would be so sly. He fooled us by meeting with Li Anbo and Wang Xuan, misleading us that they were going to help Shu Haonan to rise. You even made preparations to mess with their goods. But it turns out to be a deception from Su Tao. The person that he wanted to support was Ye Sheng.” Tong Zuoqing smiled bitterly.
Qin Jingyu wasn’t a pushover. When he heard that Shu Haonan wanted to enter the firearms industry, he schemed to mess with the goods. If the goods were sent to the customers, it would definitely create a huge incident. At the same time, Shu Haonan would be blacklisted.
However, Qin Jingyu was shocked that Su Tao wasn’t trying to support Shu Haonan, but Ye Sheng.
Looking at Qin Jingyu’s grim expression, Tong Zuoqing consoled, “Ye Sheng is all brawls without brains. He won’t be able to accomplish anything, and he will not be a concern for us.”
“Ye Sheng might not be a concern, but Su Tao had introduced him to Hamza! Hamza only had to throw out a few orders for Ye Sheng to gain a stable footing in this industry.” Qin Jingyu sighed.
After Qin Jingyu threw his temper, he slowly calmed down. He had to admit that he had lost entirely in this confrontation.
Not only was his wings flipped by Su Tao, but his firearms business was even threatened. By supporting Ye Sheng into the industry, calling it smart wasn’t enough to describe Su Tao’s scheme.
