Zhao Yang was obviously as confident as ever. He didn’t appear wary despite knowing Fang Rou’s identity.
“This is an orphanage. You can purchase the land but you should respect the director’s wishes. If he isn’t willing, don’t you think it’s unreasonable to force the sale?”
“No, no. Why would it be unreasonable? We’ve offered a huge price, that old man won’t be able to spend it all in his lifetime and our company will send the kids excellent teaching resources to further their studies. All costs will be on us. Of course, the teachers here can also work for our company as staff since we need talent who are generous givers like these teachers.”
“Nonsense, you just want the kids to enroll into the schools you build so you can train them to work for you!” The director had done his research. There were many children who studied in their schools, and indeed there were some very successful graduates, so it was easy to access the information.
“Hehe, what’s so bad about that? These kids will still have to leave when they age out of the system, and with the current state of society, it’s probably okay if they just become scammers or thieves... but what if they murder someone? They’d just be a menace to society. So at least we’re giving them a job, right?”
Grandpa Director slammed his bamboo walking stick, his beard flaring in anger.
“And?”
“Mm? And you are?”
“I’m just an orphan who left this orphanage a few years ago.”
“Oh, so why’re you talking? Shut up and step aside!” Zhao Yang frowned in contempt. Fang Rou furrowed her brows, wanting to say something, but Xiang Ning pulled her back.
“You say you’re an agent for dimensional ring sales?” Xiang Ning smirked.
“Hmph, can he represent your means?” Zhao Yang was treating Xiang Ning as one of the ‘important people’s’ friends or subordinates, not taking him seriously at all. But then he saw the teenager stop the young lady of the Fang family from saying something, so he must have a certain status here. It was safer to ask first.
“Yes, he can.”
“Alright then. I don’t have a problem talking to you. We obtained the exclusive right to sell through legitimate means, and this is a project supported by the Marsh City government. Buying this land is only a means to ensure the success of this important project, don’t you think?” Zhao Yang smirked.
“So if you guys are no longer the agent, the orphanage won’t have to move?” asked Xiang Ning.
Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment, then dramatically cupped his hand on his ear and leaned toward Xiang Ning. “What did you say? I didn’t hear it, can you repeat what you said?”
“I said, if you guys no longer have the right to sell, the orphanage won’t have to move, right?”
“Hahaha, yes, you’re right. If we weren't agents, we wouldn’t be looking to buy this place because we wouldn’t have any use for it. Hahaha,” laughed Zhao Yang. He felt that Xiang Ning was an idiot. Did this idiot think he could decide who the right of sale went to? Dream on!
“Oh. Alright,” replied Xiang Ning. Grandpa Director was slightly disappointed. He’d thought Xiang Ning had an idea but.… Well, he would still hold on, he would never let the children get chased out of their home!
“Alright? Hahaha, why? Are you gonna send a plea to the government to take our rights away? My child, aren’t you a little too naive?”
“Hey, how’d you know?” Xiang Ning chuckled.
Even Grandpa Director could no longer stand to listen to the conversation, and the teachers were hopeless.
“Hey, are you playing me right now?” Zhao Yang’s brows furrowed. He had initially been entertained, but now Xiang Ning didn’t look like he had good intentions.
“Shhh.” Xiang Ning placed a finger on his lips, then made a call on his phone. “Master, did a company called Denrow win the rights to sell dimensional rings?”
“Oh… I just don’t think they’re suitable. Mmhmm, I understand. We can’t force things like that. Alright, I’ll ask again.” As he spoke, he covered his phone and asked, “Mr Zhao, are you sure you aren’t open to negotiation?”
“Negotiation? Why’re you wasting my time here? Do you know how much money is involved in this? The profits?” Zhao Yang had lost all patience. He was a successful man, so why should he discuss nonsense with a troublemaker? Even though the young lady of the Fang family was here, he was still confident enough to stand up for himself because he was also from a strong background.
One must know that obtaining the rights to sell dimensional rings was difficult. Denrow Corporation had only won because there was someone powerful backing them, and it was only for a small city like Marsh City. But it was easy to imagine that such a convenient product would usher in a new era. The commercial potential was unfathomable; even the head honcho of the Fang family didn’t dare act recklessly regarding the manufacture and sales of the rings. Yet this young teenager, whose breath still stank of milk, had shown no remorse in wasting his time and insulting him.
“Alright, I understand. Who do you want to give the rights to then? Think carefully. You have this authority because you’re one of the main researchers who worked on the dimensional ring development team, but similarly, you have to name a company and bear any consequences that come in the future if something happens,” said Mr Dong. Dimensional technology had its pros and cons. Although there were more pros, the cons couldn’t be overlooked.
“Mm.” Xiang Ning nodded, then whispered. “Actually, I’d like to give it to my friend’s company. His name is Wang Zhe, a student from my school. Could you help me check, Mr Dong? See if he’s a good choice.” Xiang Ning already had intentions to pass it to Fatty Wang. He trusted him, but didn’t know the Wang family, so he had to ask for more information.
“You punk, you didn’t even have to ask for that. Meteorite Constructions isn’t a bad choice at all. The rights were initially supposed to be given to them but Denrow won them at the last minute.”
“Alright, I understand, Master!” Xiang Ning chuckled.
Mr Dong nodded, then hung up. He stared at his phone for five seconds with a grin. “Whatever, I’ll treat it as a chance for the kid to build his connections.” He dialed another number. “Old Jin, your grandson was bullied by Denrow Corporation. What do you have to say?”
“Fuck them up!” cussed Old Jin vulgarly. This man had spent his prime years in research, remaining childless and partnerless throughout his life. Although Xiang Ning hadn’t been with them for long, he treated the kid as his own grandson and loved him very much. Anyone who dared touch Xiang Ning will face the wrath of Old Jin!
“Alright!” Dong Qianyi laughed.
