Chapter 558: Nouveau Riche Prelude! Marvelous Maneuver!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Qin Family had indeed declined, but a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. For the proud daughter of the Qin Family, a mere half a billion yuan was really nothing significant.

However, her decision was more or less influenced by her love for Ling Yun and her own personality. Had Qin Qiuyue been at home, she would definitely have forbidden that.

She wasn’t just doting on Ling Yun, she was spoiling him!

Ling Yun, like a miser, clutched the 500 million yuan check tightly for fear that it would suddenly fly away. For the longest time, he was in disbelief. He asked blankly, “Aunty, is this really for me?”

“Aunty doesn’t need the money. Moreover, you’re starting your own business venture, who else would I give the money to?”

Qin Dongxue’s giggle was exquisitely dainty and charming.

Had other ladies not been present in the house, Ling Yun would have embraced her and kissed her!

Even if it meant he would be slaughtered alive!

Such an aunty was generous, munificent, and overflowing with generosity!

“Haha, haha, that’s really nice of you Aunty! Long live Aunty!”

Ling Yun was one word away from proclaiming Qin Dongxue as the ruler of the nation!

Ning Lingyu, seeing this, was indescribably touched, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She knew that her brother didn’t need or really care about the 500 million yuan. She was simply glad for her brother and herself as she reminisced about the past.

Ling Yun had once said that he would help Ning Lingyu circumvent whatever she disliked doing, whether it was going to university, being a scholar, or learning pointless information that would never be used after she graduated.

Ling Yun kept his promise perfectly.

To Ning Lingyu, the world could never produce a brother like Ling Yun, for he was perfect in her eyes.

If only they weren’t bound by the brother-sister tie...

Although they had no biological ties, with her intelligence, Ning Lingyu could certainly tell that Ling Yun really treated her like a sister.

Ning Lingyu was immensely perplexed and could only sigh in her heart while being happy for Ling Yun.

“That’s enough, you should go back quickly...” Qin Dongxue acted casually, as though she had only given Ling Yun five yuan.

“Haha, then I’ll be heading back!”

Ling Yun smugly kissed the check, tapped it with his finger, and only rushed out of the house after he had heard the crisp sound of the check.

“Big Brother, slow down when driving...” Ning Lingyu came out hurriedly and reminded him.

“This brat!” Qin Dongxue stomped her feet after seeing Ling Yun kiss the check, though she still rushed out of the house together with Bai Xianer to send him off.

...

Ling Yun stored the check inside his spatial ring, but he retrieved it with telekinesis to make sure it was real. Only after that did he once again store it meticulously into the ring.

Five hundred million yuan!

Including Green Dragon, which Long Kun had given him with 300 million yuan, and the 200 million yuan loan from Tang Meng, Ling Yun’s assets barely totaled more than 600 million yuan.

A single gift from Qin Dongxue was 500 million yuan!

Staying under the apple tree was bound to yield some apples eventually!

Ling Yun didn’t think further. Actually, the “Young Master” that came from Aunt Mei was already representative of how the Qin Family regarded him!

Being the son of Qin Qiuyue meant, to some extent, that he was already the nouveau riche young master of the Qin Family! His status had been going through a silent transformation. It was just that he never realized it since he was too busy carving out his own career with his own abilities.

In other words, because Ling Yun’s surname wasn’t Qin, he subconsciously neglected the fact that he was a descendant of the Qin Family, even though he long knew that Qin Qiuyue was from the Qin Family.

To be fully accurate, neither was Ning Lingyu. Since her surname was Ning, the Qin Family could be considered her uncle’s family, meaning that she was technically not a descendant of the Qin Family.

However, Qin Qiuyue didn’t marry Ning Tianya. As long as she didn’t marry, she would still be a part of the Qin Family, and her kids would naturally be descendants of the Qin Family!

As long as the Qin Family didn’t mind, no one could make any claims regarding Ling Yun’s heritage.

Ling Yun was still exuberant over his luck and had forgotten Ning Lingyu’s advice. He flew the Land Rover at an extremely low altitude and returned to Mansion Number One in an instant.

“Tie Xiaohu, training like this is going to get you nowhere, follow me...” Ling Yun called Tie Xiaohu, who was still immersed in training, over and started imparting martial arts to him!

...

Inside the study room of Provincial Party Secretary Li Yifeng, the man in charge of Qingshui City.

“Elder Li, that kid Ling Yun’s clinic is opening tomorrow. Tang Meng has been working his a** off these days, while he has been having the time of his life. That worries me!”

Director Tang Tianhao of the Public Security Bureau in Qingshui City donned his director uniform and sat in front of Li Yifeng. With a face full of melancholy, he poured out his grievances to Li Yifeng.

Forty-nine-year-old Li Yifeng, whose hair was still carefully combed, and dressed in the same spotlessly white shirt, formal blue trousers, and straight pants, sat there with a smile and listened to his complaints.

“The grand opening of the clinic is tomorrow. What are you worried about?” Li Yifeng, smiling and beaming radiantly, bantered with Tang Tianhao.

“Of course I’m worried! I’ve been contemplating what gift to send him. Money seems a little vulgar, moreover, you know my uninspiring family background. I could send him other things, but I can’t bear to part with them. Surely I can’t just send him a congratulatory banner and hang it on the doors of the clinic!” Tang Tianhao was straightforwardly asking for Li Yifeng’s input.

“Haha, I knew it. Don’t worry, I have already decided on a gift. Let’s go together, and we’ll give it to him at the same time...” Li Yifeng said with a smile and his usual confidence.

“Really?” Tang Tianhao rose from his chair and grabbed Li Yifeng’s elbow, asking anxiously, “What is it?”

“Why are you acting like a child? Sit down first...” Li Yifeng sidestepped and said with a frown.

“Tell me, what exactly is it?” Tang Tianhao sat down immediately and asked eagerly.

“Do you remember the previous time I called for a meeting? Regarding the land in the eastern suburbs of Qingshui City.” Li Yifeng smiled slightly.

“You mean the one hundred acres of land in Linjiang District?” Tang Tianhao’s jaw dropped.

Qingshui City was planning to develop a new area in Linjiang District that connected the Qingshui Wharf to Qingshui City. Coupled with the strong economic advantage that Hudong City had, Qingshui City’s economic situation would only accelerate.

A hundred acres of land was 66666 square meters.

The one hundred acres of land was unequivocally and widely regarded as the land with the most potential and growth in the entirety of Qingshui City.

It was the most coveted piece of land in Qingshui city, with esteemed real estate developers all over the country trying to get their hands on it, by hook or by crook.

The raw price of the land was at least ten thousand yuan per square meter. Who knows how much the price would skyrocket after several rounds of auctioning!

Despite Tang Tianhao’s imaginative prowess, he would never have thought that was the land he was referring to.

Tang Tianhao was stunned for half a century before he muttered, “Then... what do you intend to do with it?”

“What a dumb question. Of course, I’ll give it to Ling Yun!” Li Yifeng said casually.

Tang Tianhao literally jumped upon hearing that. “Elder Li, are you delusional? That’s impossible!”

Either Li Yifeng wanted to ruin his political career, or he was delusional.

“See, you’re getting anxious again. Can’t you sit down and let me finish the sentence? I’m very clear-headed, far from delusional!”

Tang Tianhao, however, could no longer sit. Li Yifeng had piqued his curiosity so much that he wouldn’t sit until he knew exactly what Li Yifeng wanted to do.

Tang Tianhao was the Director of the Public Security Bureau, but he was also a man of integrity, and he didn’t want to see his brother commit a grave mistake because of a gift.

If Li Yifeng didn’t provide a good enough reason and solution to convince Tang Tianhao, then he would rather give a banner to Ling Yun.

Truth be told, he was oversimplifying matters. Li Yifeng wasn’t nearly as foolish as he made him out to be.

“To achieve greatness, you need a strong determination and the ability to keep calm...” Li Yifeng started off with a motto.

“We know about the superb position of those hundred acres of land. How many real estate companies around the nation would pay for this land, you and I both understand...”

“Get straight to the point!” Tang Tianhao exclaimed with furrowed eyebrows, putting their different statuses aside.

There were no statuses or hierarchy in the room anyways, only two brothers bonded by near-death experiences. There was no need for beating around the bush.

“But after the last meeting, it was a general consensus that the land was not open for sale!”

Tang Tianhao knew that the land wasn’t open for sale. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be offering it to Ling Yun. Furthermore, even if he sold it to Ling Yun now, it would still be out of his reach.

Without at least a trillion yuan, there would be no chance of getting the land.

“The Qingshui City Government has decided to turn the land into a large scale medical drug research and development center. Who do you think would be most suitable to helm the medical center?” Li Yifeng asked Tang Tianhao with a smile. After that, he took out a cigarette from Tang Tianhao’s cigarette box and struck it with a match.

Tang Tianhao was dumbfounded.

Truly a marvelous maneuver! Brilliant, what a brilliant move!

“Come on, Elder Li, what’s inside that brain? Who comes up with such ingenious ideas?”

Tang Tianhao almost kowtowed to Li Yifeng. Such a move left no trace or weakness!

It was the blessing of not just Qingshui City, but the entire Jiangnan Province!

Why? Once the medical drug research and development center finished construction, with Ling Yun’s unparalleled medical skills, all the top-tier healthcare professionals and the most affluent customers would flock here!
