What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 194: Bowing with Frowning Eyes (6k)

"Do you hope that Alibaba wins in the end, or do you hope that Penguin wins? If you really sell the project to Alibaba."

On the way back to Jinling from Shencheng, the first thing Liu Wanying said after waking up from a nap was to ask Yu Xing what he thought.

Even though the communication happened the day before yesterday, the enthusiasm still made her reminisce and look forward to it. Today, she suddenly became curious because Boss Yu did not seem to have any inclination towards the final result.

Yu Xing, who was driving, replied nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter who wins. Anyway, we are a small business and we definitely can't win. So, first of all, I want to get the money. Second, I want to see rivers of blood. Well, I also want to see what kind of changes the little guy will cause to the giants."

Liu Wanying looked at the scenery outside the car window with a leisurely gaze. If the business that Penguin is proud of is shaken, it will not be a ripple effect, but a whole body impact.

I'm afraid that, as Boss Yu said, there will be new and interesting changes.

After a long time, Liu Wanying had only one thought, which was to see whether this project could achieve a small success.

On October 3rd, I returned to Jinling to visit my teacher.

However, when Yu Xing arrived home with the gifts, he did not see Liu Jingrong, but only his master's wife Yan Lirong and their ten-month-old daughter.

"Sister Rong is feeding the baby." Liu Wanying walked around the room.

Yu Xing wondered: "Where is the teacher?"

Liu Wanying glared at Yu Xing, feeling that this kind of address was awkward, but in fact, their teacher-student relationship was earlier than their lover relationship. She said helplessly, "Just like you, I went out to discuss business."

Yu Xing: “…”

That is a real dissection.

He poured two glasses of water, and suddenly asked with some embarrassment: "How should I call you teacher? Should I still call you teacher?"

Liu Wanying glared at Yu Xing.

Yu Xing spread his hands: "Call me brother?"

Liu Wanying was still staring.

Yu Xing pondered, "Then... combine the two and call him old... uh, teacher brother?"

Yan Lirong walked out of the room and just happened to hear the two people whispering, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yu Xing quickly turned around and greeted, "Hello, Master's Wife."

"You still call me Master's wife?" Yan Lirong asked with a smile.

Yu Xing simply thought for two seconds and asked tentatively: "Master's Wife?"

Liu Wanying: “…”

Yan Lirong laughed out loud, but soon stopped laughing for fear of disturbing her little daughter who had just fallen asleep in the room.

She couldn't help laughing as she walked around half of the living room, slapped Yu Xing on the shoulder, and agreed: "Okay, just shout like that, wait for your teacher, um... wait for your teacher brother to come back, and shout like that to him."

Liu Wanying raised her head and sighed, "What a mess."

It's been a while since we last met, so it's inevitable that we talk about our recent situation.

Yu Xing talked about the development of his company for a while, and suddenly heard a word of concern from his master's wife.

"I heard that your company received a lot of lawyers' letters and even lost a lawsuit. Will there be any problems in the future?" Yan Lirong asked with concern.

"It's okay. We haven't encountered any tough opponents yet." Yu Xing said with a smile, "There are two lawsuits. One is about a fraudulent company that is furious, and the other is about a company that has no clear legal support. There won't be any problems."

Yan Lirong nodded and said, "That's good."

Yu Xing didn't talk more about the company. Instead, he talked about his junior sister and asked where his junior sister Shanshan had gone.

"Auntie took her out to play." Yan Lirong said with a smile, "She should be back soon. You guys go out to eat tonight. I won't go out because I have to look after the child."

Liu Wanying yawned and said, "I am tired. Let Yu Xing cook and have a simple meal."

Yan Lirong looked at Liu Wanying's lazy appearance and suddenly asked, "Who was the one who made the first confession?"

Liu Wanying became alert and said "Hey" in an unpleasant tone.

Yu Xing said seriously: "That's right, it's just a natural thing, we are in tune with each other, it's just natural, I hold her hand, she doesn't say anything, I kiss her..."

Liu Wanying immediately stood up and interrupted, "Okay, okay, let's go out to eat, let's go out to eat, and go find Shanshan now."

Yu Xing shrugged.

Yan Lirong looked at the two of them, looked deeply at Yu Xing, and said seriously: "You have a dangerous heart. I don't think Xiaoying can hold you back. You two should be good."

Yu Xing said seriously: "Yes, Sister Master!"

Yan Lirong smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Have a good rest tonight. Your teacher is unpredictable. I don't know when he will be back, but he should be able to come back before the end of the holiday. If you can see him, then see him. If you can't, don't worry about him."

While they were talking here, Liu Wanying had already hurried out.

Yu Xing stood up and said goodbye, picked up the mobile phone on the table and ran out to tease Xiaoying.

However, he hadn't chatted for a few words outside when a strange phone call came in. The person on the other end introduced himself as Li Liang, the boss of PPG.

"Shhh."

Yu Xing gestured to Xiaoying, then smiled into the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Li. How can I help you?"

PPG is the goal that Vancl's vertical B2C wants to learn from and surpass, but recently, driven by the combined efforts of Letao.com and price comparison websites, it has shown signs of revival.

Li Liang on the phone was very polite: "Mr. Yu, thank you very much for the help your website has given us. I just found out yesterday that Bai Xiaosheng's company is in Shanghai. I am also in Shanghai. I thought I should treat Mr. Yu to a meal to express my gratitude."

"Mr. Li, you are too polite." Yu Xing said with a smile, "Our website is not specifically promoting PPG products. We just fetched and compared the prices on Letao.com. In other words, if PPG is sold on Taobao or somewhere else, we are the same. You don't need to thank me."

Li Liang still wanted to express his gratitude: "No, no, no, Mr. Yu, your promotion is a life-saving grace to PPG. You may feel the same, but I can't help but thank you."

"Mr. Li, you don't have to be like this. Come to think of it, I've seen Mr. Li's name on the Bai Xiaosheng forum before." Yu Xing was still laughing. "As long as Mr. Li doesn't run away, I think it's pretty good."

Li Liang's voice choked, and the words he had thought of before were stuck in his throat. You...you...

Why are you talking so harshly!

How can you reach out and hit someone who is smiling?!

He was embarrassed for several seconds before he reluctantly said, "Yes, yes, I, um, did make some mistakes, but no matter what, I would like to thank Mr. Yu for this time."

Li Liang didn't mention eating anymore.

Yu Xing said "Hmm" and encouraged: "Boss Li, keep going."

The call ends.

Liu Wanying, who was listening nearby, was puzzled. Why wasn't he allowed to run away?

She said, "Yu Xing, I just noticed one thing. Why is it that around you, I always hear about this scam or that fake? When I answer a phone call, I have to warn others to run away. Who is this person?"

Yu Xing told the other party's identity and purpose.

Liu Wanying remained silent.

After a moment, she said helplessly: "It's true that he is not honorable, but your words are really unpleasant..."

Yu Xing tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk: “I haven’t even started to say anything unpleasant.”

Liu Wanying looked at Yu Xing for a long time and nodded heavily: "Hey, it's hard not to trust you on this!"

"No matter how you live, you live. No matter how you make money, you make money. Why bother..." Yu Xing shrugged and changed his words before he finished speaking, "Either I dissect others, or others dissect me. That's it."

He reached out and held Xiaoying's hand.

Liu Wanying took two steps and suddenly exclaimed, pulling her hand back.

Yu Xing was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"You're too sharp." Liu Wanying pretended to be serious, "You pricked my hand."

Yu Xing smiled.

I haven't been back to Jinling for a long time. This time when I come back, I can't help but visit my alma mater. However, due to the National Day holiday, the campus is very deserted, and it seems that the past year or so has not painted any new colors on my hometown.

Everything is the same as before.

I can't help but think of Lu Xun's poem, hiding in a small building and becoming one with it, not caring about winter, summer, spring or autumn.

There is no need to care too much about the winter, summer, spring and autumn in the outside world. The days in the ivory tower are always simple and nostalgic.

On October 6, Brother Liu Jingrong returned from a cesarean section.

Since Yu Xing hadn't returned to Shencheng yet, he naturally had to come and pay a visit, and he even cooked a meal himself in the evening.

Liu Jingrong still didn't look very happy. He was affected by the cases he had witnessed on this trip, and he also felt that there was an inevitable awkwardness between his disciple and his sister.

"How did you say you were going to call him Lao Liu?" Yan Lirong joked during the meal and asked Yu Xing specifically.

Yu Xing said respectfully: "Of course it's teacher, forever teacher."

When Liu Jingrong heard this, his face turned sour again, and it was obvious that he had not said anything good before.

Yan Lirong looked at her husband's sour face, Xiaoying's helplessness, and Yu Xing's seriousness, and couldn't help but feel happy. She first established her own name: "Okay, anyway, you can call me Sister Rong from now on. It sounds younger this way."

Yu Xing immediately shouted, "Sister Rong!"

Liu Jingrong picked up a dish heavily, and the chopsticks and plate made a crisp sound.

At this time, Junior Sister Liu Zhishan said loudly: "I object!"

Seeing that her niece was still interfering, Liu Wanying angrily blocked her mouth with a chicken leg: "What the hell are you objecting to? What does it have to do with you?"

Liu Zhishan's objection disappeared.

The atmosphere of the dinner was generally pleasant, but Liu Jingrong didn't want to talk at all.

Near the end, Liu Wanying pointed at the TV and said, "Look, the stars are about to appear."

On the screen is Dragon TV, and the latest episode of "If You Are the One" is about to be broadcast.

Yan Lirong knew this program, but the feeling of having the guests on TV sitting right opposite her still amazed her.

She laughed and said, "I never thought that you guys, who run a company, could be on TV."

"It was also a coincidence." Yu Xing replied, "However, in this era, publicity is becoming more and more important. This program still saves our website a lot of trouble. The input-output effect is very good."

Yan Lirong asked curiously, "Will there be a script in advance? Do we need to rehearse?"

"There is no script, but some conflicts are edited," Yu Xing explained. "It usually takes about four hours to record each episode, but only one hour is broadcast in the end."

Liu Wanying pointed at the TV again and said with a smile: "Look, look, I'm in the audience!"

It was the first time for her to see herself on TV, and she felt fresh. Everyone's attention was attracted by the program.

Yu Xing didn't know how this episode would be edited, and apart from watching his own performance at the beginning, he actually stopped watching the show later. It was inevitable that he would relive the recording moments at this time.

Just like on September 9th, the first two job seekers were unsuccessful.

"This program cut out my speech about economic recovery and mobility..." Yu Xing felt disappointed when he saw the third collapsed job seeker.

Liu Wanying sneered, "The program team is focusing on this, so they don't have time to pay attention to your words."

Liu Jingrong and Yan Lirong heard some stories and paid more attention to watching TV, and saw the story of Yuan Qichen, a French student.

His performance was average but quite restrained. Despite being frequently interrupted, he still tried hard to answer questions from all directions.

However, my basic French skills were still exposed.

Yan Lirong was watching the show and wondered, "His French is not good. The boss speaks so fluently."

Neither Yu Xing nor Liu Wanying said anything, but it felt like the program crew really wanted to edit out the complete situation.

As expected, Yuan Qichen was questioned about his academic qualifications by his boss Miao Yue, and his figure staggered and fell down in front of the camera. The first reaction of the host next to him was "Are you acting?"

As Zhang Shaogang said this, he didn't even squat, but just grabbed the shoulders and clothes of the contestant who collapsed on the ground.

Liu Jingrong, who was watching this scene at the table, couldn't help but frowned. Then he saw a familiar figure jogging onto the stage, squatting down to check on and inquire about the contestants. Finally, he asked the program crew to bring up a chair.

The job applicant was not in any serious health condition, he was just too nervous and angry.

BOSS Yu Xing returned to his seat, host Zhang Shaogang stood on the stage, and contestant Yuan Qichen sat next to him.

The whole place was filled with an indescribable silence.

Then there was a question and answer session between Zhang Shaogang and Yu Xing.

——Mr. Yu, you are so excited. Have you found out anything?
The camera of the show gave a close-up of BOSS Yu Xing at this time.

——Unlike Teacher Zhang, I studied medicine and I can’t bear to see someone fall to the ground.

When Liu Jingrong in front of the screen heard this, he couldn't help but slam the table, which scared Yan Lirong next to him.

"What's going on now?" Yan Lirong complained.

Liu Jingrong was silent for a few seconds and said, "Get a bottle of wine."

Liu Wanying raised the corner of her mouth with a smile, signaling her sister-in-law not to get up, and went to get a bottle of wine from the cabinet.

Normally, since we all had such a hard time sitting together for a meal, we should have a drink to show our respect, but the brother just had a sour face, as if someone owed him a sister.

Now it’s okay. I knew this would kill you.

Liu Wanying felt a little proud in her heart. She took the wine and the glass and poured two more glasses.

The show is still going on, and surprisingly, although the performance is average, the job seeker's academic qualifications are real.

Seeing this, Liu Jingrong couldn't help but curse, then he raised his glass and said with a nasal tone, "Hmm."

Yu Xing quickly raised his cup and said with a smile, "Teacher, I toast to you."

Liu Jingrong drank it all in one gulp, and finally said with a sigh: "You have not wasted the years you spent studying medicine."

"I didn't think that much at the time." Yu Xing put down his wine glass and said, "I just couldn't bear it."

Liu Jingrong shook his head: "What does it mean to be a benevolent doctor? Sometimes it just means that you can't bear it, although not all doctors are like this, alas, alas."

He waved his hand for his sister to pour the wine.

"Hmm..." Yu Xing didn't know what the teacher was feeling, nor did he want to show off at this time, so he could only toast.

Liu Jingrong drank the glass of wine and suddenly said, "I've seen that website you created. It has indeed caused a lot of trouble since it went online. There are graduates, product counterfeiting, and illegal dismissals. With all this, you have received lawyers' letters and lost lawsuits. Can the website really last long?"

Yu Xing smiled and said, "We pursue relative control. Some things really cannot be said, but we can say what we can. After all, someone will benefit. Our own development has also benefited from this. Now we have opened up the revenue from recruitment. If the scale can be larger and we can go public in the future, our standards can actually be more relaxed."

Liu Jingrong nodded silently.

He drank another glass of wine, thinking about his disciple's behavior on the stage, and commented: "You are so cold and indifferent to the criticism of thousands of people, and you are willing to be a cow for the children."

The sharpness of the Bai Xiao Sheng website, its regular sharing of graduate information, and even the reluctance shown by the website's founder at a certain moment...

I accepted the lawyer's letter with a cold brow, and bowed my head only because I couldn't bear it.

Yu Xing shook his head and said, "Teacher, you are praising me too much. I am not that great. I am also thinking about how to make money."

Liu Jingrong said: "These are two different things."

He paused and sighed, "Forget it, Yu Xing, don't call me teacher anymore."

Yu Xing nodded and smoothly switched to: "Okay, brother."

Liu Jingrong couldn't help but look dark. He adjusted his mood for a few seconds before saying, "Drink!"

Drink, drink!
Drink...drinking will cause trouble.

After drinking several glasses of wine, Liu Jingrong's mood gradually became high. He made a small request, asking his former disciples whether they could still recite the oath they had taken when they entered school.

Yu Xing smiled and nodded, reciting the Medical Student Oath. He learned the 1991 version published by the Department of Higher Education.

"Health is at stake, life is entrusted to me. When I stepped into the sacred medical school..."

After finishing one bottle of wine, I start drinking the second one.

This time it was Liu Jingrong who enthusiastically recited the version he had learned abroad, from the Geneva Declaration.

After he finished reciting, he sat closer, put his arm around Yu Xing's shoulders, and said affectionately: "When you become a big boss in the future, don't forget to donate money to the school and the hospital."

Yan Lirong looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Old Liu, please stop using moral blackmail."

Liu Jingrong said dissatisfiedly: "What kidnapping? I mean, when I have the energy to spare, look at this brother Yu. He looks like he can do great things."

Everyone was stunned. Why did they start talking about Brother Yu?
Liu Jingrong said with emotion: "I originally had high hopes for Yu Xing, but now I think about it, one less insignificant pathologist and one more business tycoon who can donate money and do things, this is a great deal!"

Yu Xing also teased with a hint of drunkenness: "Even if I hook up with your sister?"

Liu Jingrong shook his head, his face flushed, and then he said things like "It's not something I can control", "You are free to love", "My sister likes it", "Brother Yu is good", etc., filling the restaurant with a happy atmosphere.

Yan Lirong had silently taken out her cell phone and started filming.

Yu Xing drank a lot of wine and began to sigh: "Old Liu, I actually want to be an ordinary doctor and live a quiet life..."

Liu Jingrong burped and interrupted, "Brother, please listen to my advice and don't waste your talent on medicine."

Yu Xing was speechless and raised his glass: "Lao Liu, cheers!"

Liu Jingrong only remembered one sentence, "Done it," and then he couldn't remember anything else.

It was the next day when he opened his eyes again. He lay in bed for a long time before getting up. He could not remember what he did yesterday. He only vaguely remembered drinking with Yu Xing.

Fortunately, Yan Lirong used her mobile phone to help me recall.

Liu Jingrong looked at himself and his disciples calling each other brothers, looked at the teasing look of his sister next to him, and saw that he had finally started to call Yu Xing "brother". He suddenly felt ashamed and wished he could end the rest of his life immediately.

"Of course, Lao Liu. We had a lot of fun drinking yesterday and even found a big brother." Yan Lirong laughed at her husband's embarrassed expression.

Liu Jingrong covered his face, and after a long while, a few words popped out from between his fingers: "If you drink again, you're a dog!"

Yan Lirong couldn't help laughing and made a few more sarcastic remarks.

Liu Jingrong felt ashamed, but still asked, "Where's Xiaoying?"

"You drank until you passed out yesterday, but Yu Xing was still able to move, so he went out to stay in a hotel." Yan Lirong said, "Xiaoying just went out to see him this morning. They will be back in Shanghai today, so we can have lunch together at noon."

Liu Jingrong was silent for a while, then said hesitantly, "Uh, well, I'll go to school at noon, you guys eat, you guys eat."

Yan Lirong was surprised and said, "How can that be possible? Brother Yu will regret not being able to see you, Brother Liu."

Liu Jingrong put on his clothes silently, covered his face and left.

Liu Wanying on the other side had already seen Yu Xing, but found that he was leisurely drinking porridge and browsing the computer.

"Are you sober now?" Liu Wanying asked teasingly, "Are you not crazy anymore?"

"I'm not crazy. I was just talking to Brother Rong from the bottom of my heart." Yu Xing said calmly, "The physical contact when we parted last night was just out of love. Xiaoying, if there is anything..."

Liu Wanying said "Pooh" and picked up the pillow and threw it over.

Yu Xing was stunned, and received the pillow accurately, then pointed at the notebook: "My Weibo followers have increased to more than 400,000... This program is really effective..."

Overnight, the number of Weibo fans doubled, which was already a considerable number considering that Sina had just launched the platform not long ago.

Liu Wanying came over to take a look and saw that there were many comments about "If You Are the One" in the comment section of Yu Xing's Weibo, including praises for him and criticisms of Zhang Shaogang. Some people even mentioned the "Hippocratic Oath."

Yu Xing browsed for a while and said in surprise, "Ah, some people are digging up Miao Yue's academic qualifications, saying that her academic qualifications are fake. In addition, they say that her French looks fluent, but in fact, many of her grammar is wrong."

Liu Wanying had not expected such a follow-up development. After watching for a while, she commented: "If this is the case, her mental quality is quite good... She is quite calm. How can she have the confidence to find fault with him?"

Yu Xing laughed dumbly: "The first episode of the show relied on the show effect of competing against Tang Jun. She still wants to do this. It's really... a little trick to make people happy."

The bold will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. Small scams are for pleasure, and big scams bring disaster.

The petty liar tried to make his presence felt, but his skills were inferior to others, so he might fade away from the scene.

The big swindler who has been exposed is still struggling and is still angry at the short sellers.

Just as Yu Xing and Liu Wanying were on their way back, a message from Chen Deyuan of Sino-Forest was seen.

"We are not a scam. We do have a tight capital chain. If it weren't for Guo Shanfeng's short selling, we wouldn't have any problems." Chen Deyuan said confidently, "Now there are many people supporting us. Guo Shanfeng is attacking Chinese concept stocks. It should be responsible for our losses and the losses of market investors!"

"Auditing the forestry business is not easy in itself. This is not something we do intentionally, but it is the nature of the industry."

Chen Deyuan also gave an example: "It's not just us. Even if you ask Huaxia Forest, which is also one of the leading private forestry companies in China, it is impossible for them to put every tree in the audit company. So, we asked PricewaterhouseCoopers to do an independent audit, which takes a long time."

Liu Wanying, who was sitting in the car, read the news and sighed, "What do you think Chen Deyuan is talking about Huaxia Forest? Is he hinting at us? Does he not want to see the good things of other scammers? Tsk."

Yu Xing drove for a while before answering: "Probably, this is the intuition of an old liar."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly asked, "Tell me, if we change our name, for example, send an email to Chen Deyuan as a reporter, asking him about Huaxia Forest, would he be willing to help find out the missing parts?"

Liu Wanying blinked and said hesitantly: "We have to wait until Huaxia Forest goes on the market and we have collected all the materials, but this... is too bad."

Yu Xing hummed, "Not bad, it's just the right way to make use of waste."

When a wild goose passes by, it leaves traces; when a wind blows by, it leaves sounds. When a liar comes, he will take advantage of you with a cold and aggressive look and sweep away everything.
