Chapter 668: Career Development
It seemed that Chen Mengyan still didn’t believe that Yang Ming had met Shu Ya. However, Yang Ming was just teasing her. At least for now, Yang Ming didn’t have any special thoughts about Shu Ya.
Yang Ming was more interested in Shu Ya only because he thought Shu Ya had a secret! He could probably look for the secret of Su Ya from Shu Ya.
“My dad’s factory is hosting Shu Ya’s concert.” Yang Ming was depressed when Chen Mengyan didn’t believe him. Why do you have no confidence in your man? She is just a small celebrity. How am I not able to reach her? Also, in regards to personal net worth, I’m different from what I used to be!
Therefore, Yang Ming threw such a heavy bomb [1].
Sure enough, after Chen Mengyan heard it, her expression turned sour. “Is… what you said true?”
“Do I need to lie to you?” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Isn’t my dad’s factory restructured? Now it has become Song Jiang Ming Yang Heavy Industry Group. In order to be able to make a name, we decided to use the concert to build momentum.”
“Oh… it turned out to be like this…” Chen Mengyan said in embarra.s.sment. She didn’t expect her promise would take effect so soon, so she didn’t feel comfortable naturally deep down in her heart.
Even though the concert was undertaken, the chances of Yang Ming and Shu Ya coming into contact were slim, not to mention that there were so many concert organizers in the country. Who could really build a relations.h.i.+p with a celebrity?
But Chen Mengyan still felt a little uncomfortable. Isn’t this an opportunity for Yang Ming? It is even a chance that I acquiesced. However, Chen Mengyan wasn’t the kind of person who would go back on her words. She didn’t intend to take back what she said. She only replied in annoyance, “Then you have to work harder!”
“What do I need to work hard for?” Yang Ming shook his head helplessly. “You… you said that you’re not a small vinegar jar [2]. I think you’re an old vinegar jar!”
“When did I behave like that? I didn’t disagree with you contacting her!” Chen Mengyan was embarra.s.sed when Yang Ming had pointed it out.
“Hehe…” Yang Ming just smiled and didn’t reply.
“Stop it!” Chen Mengyan felt embarra.s.sed being laughed at by Yang Ming. She took a sip of the juice in her hand and pretended to forget the topic just now. “Oh ya, in a few days time, we will have our high school reunion, are you going?”
“High school reunion? Who organized it?” Yang Ming was surprised to hear of it.
“Liu Haiyan, our cla.s.s secretary gave me a call and told me about it. It should be she who organized it, right?” Chen Mengyan said.
Yang Ming was surprised. Just now, when Chen Mengyan mentioned the cla.s.s reunion, his first thought was w.a.n.g Zhitao. But now at this moment, did w.a.n.g Zhitao still have the heart to do these things?
“If you go, I will follow.” Yang Ming said indifferently, “When I was in high school, there were very few who had a good relations.h.i.+p with me anyway. It was only you and Zhang Bing.”
“Who told you to skip all the cla.s.ses?” Chen Mengyan thought about it. When Yang Ming was in high school, he really had no good friends.
“Then I will register for you,” said Chen Mengyan.
“Alright.” Yang Ming nodded. He didn’t know when it started. After a while, there would be a cla.s.s reunion, whether it was with junior high school cla.s.smates or high school cla.s.smates.
However, the nature of the cla.s.s reunion had become more and more tasteful. From the initial bonding, it had become a meeting to compare with each other currently.
Comparisons about the university, the family, the boyfriend, the girlfriend, in short, at this gathering of power, Yang Ming felt bored.
A group of familiar strangers sitting together and boasting about themselves. It was a waste of time to go. However, since it was with Chen Mengyan, it was no big deal when they could consider it as changing the place for a date.
After chatting with Chen Mengyan for a while about fun stuff in high school, it was already late. Yang Ming took her home and made an appointment to call.
Yang Ming felt that this was the busiest year in his life. He had never gone on a working streak without rest as he did right now.
Every Chinese New Year, uncle would organize a meal for the whole family. However, this year he was troubled by the Entertainment City matter. He had no time to treat a meal.
When Yang Dashan learned about the results from Bao Sanli, he was grateful to Yang Ming while feeling lucky. Yang Dashan knew it very well that if it wasn’t for Yang Ming’s relations.h.i.+p, even if he didn’t die, he would be beaten into a cripple.
After handing over the accounts and formalities, Yang Dashan happily went back to run his sand mining business. This time around, he probably wouldn’t dare to easily get involved in other unfamiliar areas.
Ming Yang’s strength was strong. With Yang Ming’s support, it was no longer a problem in terms of capital. Now it had annexed w.a.n.g’s Century Xiongfeng Group. The funds were abundant. They not only paid off the bank loan but also completely renovated and re-listed Tianjiao Entertainment City as the “Nightless Club Entertainment Carrier” to continue the business operation.
The Nightless Club was also a long-established brand in Song Jiang’s entertainment industry. So, when it was reopened, it attracted a lot of guests who heard about the famous name. The business was prosperous.
The long-awaited jewelry company of Yang Ming and Zhang Bing also entered the final preparatory period. The business street store was easily obtained from Wu Zhongjie’s relations.h.i.+p. After some renovations, they were at the final step to open for business.
A jewelry company wasn’t the same as those other companies. It required stable raw material supply channels and excellent jewelry designers. These were indispensable.
“Bro, where have you been all this time?” Zhang Bing complained in dissatisfaction. “You had disappeared ever since Chinese New Year.”
“I’m just getting the contact for our company supply!” Yang Ming said bluntly, “I got a diamond mine contract in South Africa. Our diamonds can be mined directly from there in the future!”
“F*ck!” Zhang Bing said, “Are you serious? Diamond mine? What a big scale!”
“Cr*p, diamonds are the most expensive items in jewelry. If we don’t have a good import channel, what kind of money can we make?” Yang Ming thought, Luckily I found such a reason to use, otherwise, Zhang Bing, this guy, would feel unbalanced.
Apparently, Zhang Bing didn’t have a good Chinese New Year as well. He was doing the followup for the jewelry company’s matters. From renovation to business opening preparation, he was running it alone.
“Right, when are you free, let’s go abroad together,” said Zhang Bing.
“Still going abroad?” Yang Ming was astounded. “Going abroad for what?”
“Didn’t your G.o.dfather help us to contact a few designers? He asked us to go to Europe and hire them. Let’s see whether they will come or not,” said Zhang Bing. “Otherwise, there is no unique selling point on our jewelry design!”
“Do we still need to go abroad personally?” Yang Ming shook his head. “I just came back from abroad!”
“I don’t want to go either, but the designer on their side won’t come over!” Zhang Bing said helplessly. “If we visit them personally, we still can see if there is a solution for it…”
“You wait. I will make a call.” Yang Ming suddenly thought of Old Buffon. Isn’t this guy quite influential in Europe? How about I ask him and see if he has a way to go about it?
As a result, Old Buffon promised to help Yang Ming to ask a few designers to come over. Old Buffon also said indifferently that there were several well-known designers who specialized in designing jewelry for his family. He could simply send a few of them.
Zhang Bing looked at Yang Ming in amazement. Yang Ming could solve the big problem with just a phone call. Zhang Bing was flabbergasted as he asked, “Who did you call?”
“My dad’s partner is a very powerful person in Europe.” Yang Ming explained casually.
Fortunately, Zhang Bing didn’t continue to ask.
There were few domestic reports on international news, especially those who weren’t related to the international situation. In newspapers and magazines, almost no reprinted foreign news could be seen.
Only occasionally on the internet could one find some international news. Yang Ming saw Dorsk’s mysterious death on Alice’s cruise on a mediocre website portal.
Interpol had confirmed the ident.i.ty of Dorsk, one of the most active drug lords in Europe. The cause of death was inexplicable. Dorsk died because of a nail hammered into his head.
Yang Ming searched for similar web pages on Google and Yahoo in English. The content of the news was similar. It seemed that this event was deliberately suppressed, and there was no hype to the news. Probably it was to Hosik’s credit. In short, this event was over. Interpol didn’t pursue the matter.
However, there was a person who was concerned about the death of Dorsk. This person was the son of Dorsk, little Dorsk. What he cared about wasn’t that the old man died, but where the old man’s money in the bank had gone! Tens of billions of euros in the Swiss bank had disappeared so inexplicably!
