âYou don't have to be worried. I thought you want to mess up Pengzhan Industries?â Qibing smiled nonchalantly. âActually, I want to mess him up too!â
âHuh?â Gubang blinked. He didnât understand.
âPengzhanâs daughter, she's a beauty. I've wanted to mess around with her for ages, but I don't have the opportunity to do so since Pengzhan is always there. It wasnât easy for me to make a move!â Qibing chuckled. âIf you can mess his company up, I don't mind messing with his girl!â
âOh, OK! Master Bing, rest assured. Under your leadership, I'll fuck him up sooner or later!â promised Gubang. He was relieved and thumped his chest.
âAlright, moving on, tell me, how can our real estate company make money?â Qibing didnât need money, but he did want to achieve something out of the company, even though he was managing the company for fun.
Although he was an illegitimate son, Qibing wanted to be recognized, to be acknowledged by his forefathers!
âCurrently, the best and the most profitable area is the slums. If we can get the authority to rebuild the slums, our company will shoot to fame in no tim,â Gubang said. âCihua and I have discussed this before.â
âOh? If things are as good as you describe, real estate investors should be fighting over it, shouldnât they?â Qibing wasnât stupid. He knew something was wrong.
âTroublemakers! There are too many troublemakers!â Gubang explained. âPengzhan Industries wanted to invest in that area, but the people in the slums started to gang up and demanded high kickbacks to leave. It wasnât worth it at all. Besides, Pengzhan is a stubborn man. He refused to cut down on the cost of the materials, so there was no profit in investing, so he gave up. It was the same for the other real estate investors.â
âOh? Then what makes you think that we can turn a profit?â Qibing asked.
âWeâve got Brother Cihua here. He can easily handle the troublemakers, can't he? He can use his lackeys to intimidate them!â Gubang gave a lopsided smile. âWe can even earn money from the cost of the materials; the houses donât have to be good quality. Earning as much as possible is our priorityâ¦.â
âNo complaints are allowed. We have to make sure itâs quality. I heard that our country has recently come out a new regulation: the contractor has full responsibility of the house they built for life. It will bring about aftereffects if we donât handle it properly,â Qibing said with a wave of his hand: âBut we can ignore the troublemakers. Let's make a profit off them!â
âAlright!â Gubang realized that Master Bing wasnât an idiot. His thinking was different; he knew what he was capable and incapable of.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf you have time these days, let's explore the shanties together,â Qibing said. âGet the permit as soon as possible.â
âThatâs easy, that areaâs ready to be rebuilt. Itâs just that no one was taking that job. I'll finish the documentation tomorrow,â Gubang said. âThatâs right, Master Bing, what do you think the name of the company should be?
âName, huh? Just call it Qibing Real Estate,â Qibing said.

Pinliang felt great these past two days. He felt that his luck was starting to change! The most hated person of his life, Lin Yi, was absent for a few days at school. He could proceed with his plan smoothly without Lin Yi around.
âXiaofu, are you ready?â Pinliang asked.
âLiang Bro, the cave is safe to enter!â Xiaofu said with a laugh. âI've installed a security door in the cave. Even if Mengyao wanted to run, sheâll never escape!â
âNot bad! Your idea is creative, better than most kidnappers by a lot. You were born to be a criminal!â Pinliang was delighted.
âHehe, youâre my boss after all! How else could I think of such a good idea!â They had planned to kidnap Mengyao, and he was afraid that Mengyao would run away or get into an accident!
It was hard to say in the wild. There might be a beast roaming around, after all! So Xiaogu used his creativity and thought of installing a security door! No one could open it without a key.
âAre there things to eat and do inside? Pinliang asked.
âOf course, it's all prepared!â Xiaofu nodded. âItâs up to you now, Liang Bro, as to how you want to trick Mengyao over there!â
âWatch me. I already have a plan in mind!â Pinliang puffed out his chest and said, âI know Mengyao very well, I can handle it myself!â
Before the night study session, Pinliang sneaked over to Mengyao and Yushu and whispered, âYaoyao, I have something important to ask you.â
Mengyao looked up and saw Pinliang and frowned. âI told you not to call me Yaoyao, you can call me Yaoyao Sis or my full name. Is your memory really that bad?â
âYeah, Yaoyao Sis, I think that Liâl Liang has to eat some brain meds for his underdeveloped brain!â Yushu nodded.
Pinliang wasn't angry. In fact, he said seriously, âOk, I'll call you Mengyao then. I have something serious to talk about. I don't mind how I address you.â
âWhat is it?â Mengyao asked, annoyed. She was about to buy some snacks with Yushu but was prevented by Pinliang.
âUm⦠Shu, can you give us some privacy?â Pinliang looked at Yushu cautiously.
âOh?â Yushu was startled. Pinliang never asked her to leave when it came to chasing Mengyao. He would even ask her to help. What was wrong with this guy today?
âAhem⦠The thing today is a little private, itâs about Mengyao, soâ¦â Pinliang said tactfully.
âSpit it out, Pinliang. If there's nothing important, I'm gonna go buy stuff with Yushu!â Mengyaoâs patience ran out. âYushu is my best friend, Iâve got nothing to hide from her!â
âOK⦠I'll tell you!â Pinliang didnât really want to involve Yushu in this, because he feared the nature of Yushuâs background.
âDo you have anything to say?â Mengyao glared at Pinliang.
âYes⦠Mengyao, youâre the only child, right?â Pinliang asked carefully.
âOnly child?â Mengyao blinked. âWhat do you mean?â
âUh⦠in another words, Uncle Chu only has one child right?â Pinliang explained quickly.
âIsn't that nonsense? What are you trying to say?â Mengyao thought that Pinliang was trying to waste her time.
