Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Eliminate the Black Sheep_1

Listening to this, Wang Wei suddenly blurted out an extremely unfriendly remark, "Sis, how do you still know him?"

"What’s wrong with knowing me?" Shen Dong, like a hedgehog whose spines had bristled, immediately shot back with a question.

Tang Yuchan’s arm stiffened as she glared at Shen Dong, "Sis, he gets into fights, smokes, and even leads other students astray..."

Yuchan burst into laughter, bending back and forth for at least thirty seconds, and with a teasing tone, pointed at Shen Dong, "Look at you, you’ve only been at school for a few days..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong thought of Mr. Hu’s words on the sports field.

He didn’t argue and, with a huff, crossed his arms and turned his head to look out of the window, "How much longer do we have to wait? Hurry up, I’m hungry."

"We won’t delay you, go ahead and have your meal," Wang Wei chimed in with another jab, effectively giving him the boot.

It has to be said that the young lady was sharp-tongued; she could insult someone without uttering a single crude word, infuriating a person with just a few remarks.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang said, "How did you come to Hai City"

He retired to the second line on the pretext of stepping down, handing the company over to the second echelon of the group, intending to find and fix shortcomings and weed out those who were harmful to the collective.

He personally came to Hai City to break new ground, firstly, to conceal his true intentions, creating the illusion of being down and out, and secondly, to launch an all-out foray into the real estate industry with the intent of breaking down to rebuild.

As for Shen Dong, he wasn’t too interested, but the mysterious scheme of ’creating a façade of decline’ made him smell a hint of conspiracy.

Taking advantage of being unattended, he checked the Wang Family Group’s stock and the uniform green columns made Shen Dong start to speculate.

He might never have tasted pork, but Shen Dong had watched TV dramas.

In the stock market, appearing weak to the enemy is often the start of a trap. Shen Dong wasn’t clear about what kind of trap it was, but stocks often revive from the brink after the schemers finish setting up, at the low point.

Compared to the long-term stock market investment that would take two or three years, this one would pay off a bit quicker.

Only, he had never heard of the Xiayun Group.

Shen Dong almost exhausted his memory, but couldn’t recall any information related to Xiayun Group, and before he knew it, they had arrived at Mr. Wang’s base in Hai City.

Different from Tang Tianze’s discreet luxury, Mr. Wang’s home boasted a European flair, with a half-arm Venus sculpture fountain in the middle of the hallway, which held several koi fish worth a fortune.

To Shen Dong, the fish were merely a matter of how tasty they were—if they were delicious, they were good.

He truly couldn’t comprehend why a fish could be worth millions of dollars.

"Uncle Wang is as always focused on so-called life," Yuchan complimented subtly and, with the admiration in her eyes, she aptly delivered the flattery.

Mr. Wang was very pleased and smiled in return, "Compared to work, I enjoy the process of spending money more. I don’t care what others say. Of course, I’m not as high-class as your dad—he plays with things that are really valuable."

Yuchan pursed her lips, unapologetically replying, "What he does isn’t ’playing.’ That’s living life, his is investing, but sadly, even with all his investments, he doesn’t do business as big as you."

"Ah, your dad is very capable. Half my success is due to family, chances, but your dad truly built his empire from scratch. It’s a realm he fought for bit by bit. He’s much stronger than I am," Mr. Wang lamented.

Shen Dong had been silent the whole time, simply browsing and listening.

After the elder and the youngster had chatted idly for half an hour, they remembered Shen Dong was there.

Mr. Wang looked surprised, and incredulously extended his hand, "I never imagined that such an amazing idea of doing student shipments from Dragon Country would come from a child; truly, Wang Wei!"

Wang Wei had been pretending to watch TV not far away, but when she heard her father call, she turned around, "Dad, what’s up?"

"Come over and see what it means to be peerless among your contemporaries!" Mr. Wang laughed heartily, giving a sense of security and solidity.

He looked at Wang Wei as she approached and said helplessly, "My daughter is a bit spoiled, quite proud—no, that’s wrong, she’s not modest at all."

"How am I not being modest?"

"Call him ’Uncle’."

With those words from Mr. Wang, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Tang Yuchan sneakily elbowed Shen Dong.

Shen Dong held back laughter.

But Wang Wei was utterly confused. She pointed at Shen Dong and said, "Dad, he’s about the same age as me. Do you want me to call him ’Uncle’?"

It seemed like Mr. Wang was doing it on purpose. He scratched his head and said, "That’s true, that would be difficult. Your father is going to work with him, so they’re certainly peers. If you call him ’Brother’, wouldn’t that mess up our family hierarchy?"

His dead-serious demeanor was simply too funny to resist.

Shen Dong was struggling to contain his laughter. With a grin, he said, "Uncle, don’t make it hard for the kid. It’s only appropriate for me to call you ’Uncle’."

"Who are you calling a kid!" Wang Wei, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed by Shen Dong’s words, retorted instantly.

Mr. Wang silently gave Shen Dong a thumbs-up, shaking his head helplessly, "Ah, the child is spoiled. Well then, go and pour your brother a glass of juice, would that be okay?"

"I..." Wang Wei wanted to argue back, but with a cunning glint in her eye, she smiled and said, "Sure, Bro, what would you like to drink? Cola maybe?"

Cough cough, Shen Dong cleared his throat, feeling a sudden release from the gloom that had built up in his heart, "Anything is fine, really."

"Alrighty!" As soon as she heard this, Wang Wei trotted off to the fridge.

She poured two glasses of cola, one of which she laced with a mix of salt, sugar, MSG, and several other condiments, thinking to herself, let’s see how I deal with you.

"Here you go."

It didn’t take long before Wang Wei came back with two highball glasses, one of which she handed to Tang Yuchan. The spiked one, she handed to Shen Dong, "Here you go, Bro."

Shen Dong, not suspecting anything, was about to drink when he suddenly noticed a fine white residue on the rim of the glass.

Not wanting to call her out, he frowned at Tang Yuchan, "Cola demineralizes the bones, right? Why don’t we drink juice instead?"

"What?"

"Let’s swap for juice, Bro," Shen Dong said with a smile, raising his glass to Wang Wei with a wink.

For some reason, seeing Wang Wei’s puffed-up, indignant face made Shen Dong really want to laugh.

Although Mr. Wang wasn’t quite sure what was happening, he guessed it had to do with his daughter’s temperament and sighed with resignation, "Okay, that little bit of smartness of yours is only good for tricking Wu Fengxia. Sit down and listen."

"Dad!" Wang Wei tried to act coy to get out of it, but conceded under her father’s firm gaze.

Gone was the cool, aloof demeanor she had at school. Now she was all girlish posturing, glaring at Shen Dong as if he were her mortal enemy.

Shen Dong deliberately looked at Wang Wei for three seconds. Under her somewhat threatening gaze, he turned to Mr. Wang, "Actually, there’s not much to say.

This is a path that’s never been trodden before. Even if I talk up the plan until it sounds wonderful, you might not believe me. Just give it three months. Look at it after three months. I like to use results to talk about benefits."

"Of course, if you don’t see any results, just think of me as someone who came to freeload a meal today. But if you do see results, I hope that as Huaxu expands that way, Mr. Wang’s logistics might expand in that direction too."

Shen Dong genuinely didn’t want to bully a little girl, but he hadn’t expected that Mr. Wang would still find a bright spot in his own words.

Mr. Wang pointed at Shen Dong and began to lecture in a serious tone, "At your age, little things and frictions like those worried over by little Wei are simply brushed off with a laugh, and you don’t even want to embarrass her. Do you see that, little Wei?"
