Chapter 729: A Strange Dream
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Why scold you? It’s not your fault. It’s me who needs to be scolded,” said Yang Ming.
She was still fine when her parents were around. When Lin Zhiyun returned to the bedroom, she began to panic. When they were doing it, although there were concerns, in that case, they didn’t think too much. Only afterward did she felt regret. Lin Zhiyun felt like a thief who had stolen something that belonged to Chen Mengyan and it made her very uneasy.
Although Yang Ming kept comforting her that Chen Mengyan already knew about it, since Lin Zhiyun hadn’t personally heard Chen Mengyan’s forgiveness, there would still be some fear and trepidation.
From another perspective, Lin Zhiyun was also a woman. If the things that belonged to her were taken away by others, she would certainly feel uncomfortable.
In this case, it would be strange if she could sleep peacefully. Lin Zhiyun looked at the time, and it had almost been twelve hours. She quickly ate the rest of the pills. Then, she sat on the bed waiting for Yang Ming to send a text message.
She thought that as long as she gritted her teeth, she could give up her attachment to Yang Ming. But with this relations.h.i.+p, Lin Zhiyun really didn’t want to leave Yang Ming.
Thus, facing Chen Mengyan had become a problem that must be considered.
Seeing the message that Yang Ming replied to her, Lin Zhiyun laughed. She thought, It is true. It was Yang Ming’s fault. He provoked w.a.n.g Zhitao for nothing, and the result had implicated me.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyun felt better. She replied to Yang Ming with a “good night,” and only then did she gradually fall asleep. She had a strange dream. She dreamt that after many years, she lived with Yang Ming in a big house with Chen Mengyan and several other women. As for the details, Lin Zhiyun was in a blur about it.
The only thing she remembered was that she actually gave birth to a child for Yang Ming… This made Lin Zhiyun feel embarra.s.sed after she woke up, but she was very longing for it. Will this dream become a reality?
Yang Ming called Bao Sanli and asked him to keep an eye on Shu Ya’s safety. He couldn’t put his guard down. Although Yang Ming didn’t think Edward would come back to confront head to head after suffering a loss this time, Yang Ming shouldn’t rule out accidents.
In addition, Yang Ming asked Bao Sanli to find out if Song Jiang had a more powerful planning company to plan Shu Ya’s jewel endors.e.m.e.nt. Time was tight. Yang Ming couldn’t look for each company one by one, so he could only rely on Bao Sanli to handle this.
Although it was already in the middle of the night, Bao Sanli wasn’t sleepy at all, but rather he was excited. The more things Yang Ming handed to Bao Sanli meant that Yang Ming was looking favorably on him. This was a good phenomenon.
With the establishment of Li Qiang’s secret force, Bao Sanli began to be more and more afraid of Yang Ming. Before, Li Qiang’s skills were very powerful, but they were only at par with Hou Zhenhan. Now, he didn’t know how Yang Ming trained them. Anyone on Li Qiang’s team could put down Hou Zhenhan in a few moves.
In short, in the eyes of Bao Sanli, Yang Ming was a powerful man. No matter how much power Bao Sanli had behind him, it was difficult for Bao Sanli to deal with Yang Ming alone.
Therefore, in order to continue to maintain his current status and survive in the underworld of Song Jiang, he could only follow Yang Ming faithfully. Only then would he have a future.
As a result, Zhang Dejun, the boss of Song Jiang’s largest advertising company, was called from Xiao Mi’s bed. Zhang Dejun was also a reputable person. In the middle of the night, he was being disturbed. It was inevitable that there would be grievances in his heart. He picked up the phone and just when he wanted to curse, he heard the other person say, “Is it Zhang Dejun, President Zhang? This is Bao Sanli.”
Bao Sanli? Zhang Dejun was stunned. Which Bao Sanli? Think about it. The only Bao Sanli that I have heard of is the underworld boss of Song Jiang. Zhang Dejun’s mind immediately awoke, and his voice became humble. “Brother Bao of the Nightless Club?”
Although Bao Sanli was the vice president of Ming Yang Entertainment, everyone was still accustomed to calling him, ‘Brother Bao of the Nightless Club.’ This was also because of his early work at the Nightless Club.
“It’s me.” Bao Sanli said, “I have something to trouble President Zhang with.”
When Zhang Dejun received a phone call from Bao Sanli in the middle of the night, he was so scared that he had a cold chill. Zhang Dejun didn’t usually deal with Bao Sanli. Because Bao Sanli called at such an hour, Zhang Dejun suspected that he had offended someone, and this person was related to Bao Sanli, so Bao Sanli called to find fault with Zhang Dejun.
However, when he heard that Bao Sanli had something to ask from him, he was relieved immediately. He quickly said, “What troubles? Brother Bao, you can just tell me if you need my help!”
“President Zhang, are you free now? This matter is a little urgent,” said Bao Sanli.
“Yes, I’m free. Yes. Where is Brother Bao? I’ll go right now.” Zhang Dejun said quickly.
“How about this? I’m at the Nightless Club. When you arrive at the door, one of my underlings will naturally pick you up,” said Bao Sanli.
Zhang Dejun quickly said okay and hung up the phone. He called his driver to come over and pick him up.
When Zhang Dejun’s Xiao Mi was awakened by the phone, she was showing a displeased expression. “Who is it? So annoying. A call in the middle of the night. Why didn’t you scold him!?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! I don’t want to die!” Zhang Dejun glared and said, “You just go back to sleep. Maybe this time is an opportunity. I will prosper in the future!”
“Are you not prosperous now? You are already the boss of Song Jiang’s advertising industry!” said Xiao Mi, baffled.
“The boss of the advertising industry?” Zhang Dejun snorted. “Do you know who called me just now? The boss of Song Jiang’s underworld! In the eyes of others, what am I? This time, it isn’t easy for Brother Bao to have things to trouble me. How can I miss this good opportunity?”
“Ah!” Xiao Mi was shocked and said, “Underworld’s boss? He looked for you at midnight. Could this be a feast at Hong Gate [1]? Can you not go? I’m afraid…”
“Woman, you need to be sensible. What do you know? Brother Bao’s reputation in the underworld is good. If he says one then it’s one; if he says two then it’s two. Did you think that if he wanted to screw me up, he will still call me politely? He would have brought his underlings and looked for me here!” Zhang Dejun said disdainfully.
“Oh… then you go. Be careful,” said Xiao Mi.
“Okay, I know. You just wait and see. If I can build a connection with Brother Bao, you can go be a bad*ss in Song Jiang in the future!” Zhang Dejun said proudly.
“Really?!” Xiao Mi wasn’t sleepy at all. Now she felt that she was bad*ss enough. If she could be more bad*ss then it was naturally good. She could brag to her sisters.
He went downstairs hastily. The driver had come over. Zhang Dejun rushed to the Nightless Club in his Audi A6.
Bao Sanli was looking for Zhang Dejun to do things, so his att.i.tude toward Zhang Dejun was polite. Since Yang Ming had given him a task, he would do it well.
Bao Sanli asked his underling to bring Zhang Dejun to the upstairs VIP room. When Bao Sanli saw them coming in, he stood up and said, “President Zhang, welcome. Sorry for troubling you at night. I really feel sorry about it!”
“Brother Bao is too polite. If I can do things for Brother Bao, isn’t that my honor?” Zhang Dejun’s face was filled with a charming smile, and he said this with respect. For Bao Sanli to be so polite, he was really not used to it.
“Please sit down and serve President Zhang some tea!” Bao Sanli waved his hand to the underling and commanded.
Zhang Dejun didn’t dare to sit down. He only sat on half an *ss. He leaned forward to look at Bao Sanli. He said, “Brother Bao, you’re looking for me…”
“This is the case. We have a jewelry company, Liu Weishan Jewelry. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it?” Bao Sanli laughed.
“Liu Weishan Jewelry… I heard that it just opened not long ago, but the name is huge. I didn’t expect it to be Brother Bao’s business.” Zhang Dejun nodded and said.
“It isn’t really my business. I just work for Ming Yang.” Bao Sanli waved his hand. “This time, I asked you to come because I want you to help us plan an advertis.e.m.e.nt.”
Zhang Dejun listened to Bao Sanli saying that he was just staff, but he didn’t care much. He thought Bao Sanli was just modest or casually perfunctory. He didn’t go deeper. “Advertis.e.m.e.nt? That’s fine!”
“You’re forthright!” Bao Sanli smiled. “The price is good. The key is that it needs to be done in a hurry. I need you to come up with a plan in these two days. We will launch it before Valentine’s Day on February 14.”
If someone else said this, probably Zhang Dejun would be delighted. This was a fat piece of meat next to the mouth [2]. He could ask for a good price! However, for Bao Sanli, he didn’t dare to ask for the price. Although Bao Sanli said that the price was good, Zhang Dejun wasn’t stupid. Would he ask for a high price from the underworld boss? Was he courting death?
Therefore, not only could he not charge at a higher price, it was best for him to not collect any money! This was a good opportunity to build a relations.h.i.+p with Bao Sanli. If he let Bao Sanli feel that he was a friend and being forthright. That was the biggest gain!
Thinking of this, Zhang Dejun quickly said, “The price doesn’t matter. Our advertising price is clearly stated. If Brother Bao wants to do business with me, I need to give a discount. Let us study the advertising plan!”
“Good! I love to hear this.” Bao Sanli was also afraid that others would say that he was bullying them due to his power, but Zhang Dejun’s words made him feel very comfortable. Giving a discount, that was the benefit between friends. It had nothing to do with bullying with power. “You are really generous. If you do this well, I, Bao Sanli, will be your friend. If there is any problem that can’t be solved, you can ask for help!”
“Then I need to thank Brother Bao!” Zhang Dejun heard the thing he wanted. He was very excited. As for the advertising fee, it was good to say that it was between friends, so it wasn’t appropriate to ask for money. After this matter was settled, Zhang Dejun decided to do this errand.
