Jiang Ning stepped forward, walking along the corridor, and as he passed the nurse’s station, several nurses cast curious glances.
The little nurse wanted to say sothing, but an older nurse beside her whispered, "Evergreen Liquid."
The little nurse instantly understood. Her parents used to say that if she could marry soone working at Evergreen Liquid, they would be at ease.
Jiang Ning lifted his leg and stepped into the ward, spotting the honest Huang Guan standing by the bedside. He was Huang Yuzhu’s father.
Huang Guan, upon seeing Zhao Shuang’s suit, was montarily stunned. He had worked for Evergreen Liquid before and knew that was its trademark.
Then, he recognized Jiang Ning, just about to greet him when an auntie suddenly scread, "Little bastard, you still dare to co!"
She was almost going crazy with anger; she had never suffered such a big loss before.
"I want you to pay up, you’ll end up penniless, you dog..."
In the commotion, Zhao Shuang made a gesture, indicating to Huang Guan and his wife, "Hello, would you two care to co out with for a mont?"
Being honest and straightforward, Huang Guan dared not defy Evergreen Liquid, hurriedly stepping out with Zhao Shuang to avoid the tense situation.
With fewer people in the ward, it still wasn’t quiet because soone was arguing.
Jiang Ning watched the ranting Sweater Aunt and asked Ding Shuyan, "She wants money—do you think I should pay?"
Ding Shuyan couldn’t quite grasp Jiang Ning’s thoughts, although she knew his identity; she never forgot that this man’s essence was brutal and bloodthirsty.
Ding Shuyan said, "You should pay."
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll pay you ten billion."
After saying this, he made a grabbing motion in the void, and an invisible giant hand clutched Sweater Aunt’s neck, instantly choking off her tirade.
The ward fell into complete silence.
After a while, Jiang Ning walked out of the ward, and Zhao Shuang quickly approached him.
Jiang Ning instructed, "Once it’s handled, go to Heaven and Earth Bank and find a hundred-billion-dollar bill to burn for her."
After saying that, he left with Ding Shuyan.
After listening, Zhao Shuang walked into the ward and saw that the Sweater Aunt no longer had any breath.
Her eyelids twitched, finally understanding why President Shao had sent her to handle this.
In just two or three minutes, a life was gone.
This wasn’t about handling the situation; it was about making an allegiance.
’Isn’t this allegiance a bit too severe?’ she thought.
Gradually, Zhao Shuang cald down. Evergreen Liquid was too big; even in the entire Hui Province, it was a giant. In a regular prefecture-level city, it was almost all-powerful, so there would be no consequences.
Without further hesitation, Zhao Shuang picked up her phone and began dialing.
The Huang Guan couple was still waiting outside when they suddenly saw several white-coated doctors coming down the corridor.
The Huang Guan couple followed the doctors into the ward, hoping to ask if there was any way to avoid being blackmailed.
But after the doctors examined the Sweater Aunt’s condition, they all turned around, placed their hands in front of them, and regretfully said to the Huang Guan couple, "Please accept our condolences."
Huang Guan’s parents were puzzled, "What do you an?"
...
Ding Shuyan once again witnessed Jiang Ning taking a life.
Compared to the last ti, this ti was slower and even more shocking. He walked boldly into the hospital and then, without fear, took action, a complete upheaval of the existing rules.
Absolute power and absolute force combined seamlessly.
Ding Shuyan liked this kind of power.
"Where to next?"
Jiang Ning calculated the ti; there was still a long way to go before evening self-study ended. He said, "Let’s go to Sister Ma’s Barbecue, you can treat to dinner."
Ding Shuyan replied, "Okay."
The night had completely enveloped Yuzhou. Sister Ma’s Barbecue was doing well, with large areas of space in front filled with clusters of diners enjoying the barbecue, exuding a lively atmosphere.
"How many of you?"
"Two."
"Alright, please sit here; our house specialty is lamb skewers made from fresh lamb of the day!" The cheerful waitress eagerly introduced them.
It’s evening self-study ti, but if Pei Yujing were the waitress, the service would inevitably be cold.
’Useless at everything, but tops the exam rankings.’ Jiang Ning internally sneered at her.
Jiang Ning chose a secluded table to sit at, Ding Shuyan in a black dress. The weather was nice today, not too cold.
Sister Ma noticed and recognized Jiang Ning.
At first, she was surprised because, last ti, Pei Yujing misspoke, making her think her daughter was carrying Jiang Ning’s child.
Later, she learned that Jiang Ning taught her daughter to reject those with ill intentions. By all ans, she should be grateful to Jiang Ning, who, while wild, was a good young man.
However, Sister Ma glanced at the girl sitting opposite Jiang Ning. The girl drove a rcedes and had an air that clearly indicated she ca from a wealthy family.
She dismissed the thought.
Jiang Ning ordered so skewers, while Ding Shuyan was observing the restaurant, comnting, "The business seems quite good, yet it’s not on any review site."
"You even know about review sites?" Jiang Ning ate a broad bean pod.
"I’ve been paying attention to this area lately."
Jiang Ning asked, "Oh, so do you look up restaurants on ituan too?"
Ding Shuyan replied, "No, I’m following ituan’s D-round financing to see if there’s any opportunity to get involved."
Jiang Ning: "..."
Ding Shuyan, noticing the pause, quickly said, "ituan’s D round has just finished; the real competition is about to begin."
Jiang Ning nodded; she was indeed correct. Next, it would be the fight between ituan and Dazhong Dianping.
Jiang Ning asked, "Is your family planning to get involved?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Shuyan slightly shook her head, "It’s unbeatable. Didi and Kuaidi fought for over ten months, and more than 2 billion US Dollars vanished. Who can afford such a fight?"
Her father’s Lin Zhongsheng Group, at most, could throw its weight around within the province.
"This year is a big year for reform; many state-owned enterprises are encouraged to bring in private enterprises. That path is where our family excels," Ding Shuyan explained.
"Hmm," Jiang Ning agreed. Though not as glamorous as internet companies, the path they took was steadier.
Ding Shuyan added, "But my family’s elder brother is interested in starting a financial venture."
Jiang Ning asked, "P2P?"
He rembered that this era saw the rise and rapid expansion of online lending, with many alarmingly high interest rates.
Ding Shuyan replied, "We considered P2P, but I think B2B is better. We have a physical industry chain, making us better suited for supply chain finance."
The barbecue was served, and Ding Shuyan tried a lamb skewer—it was indeed fresh lamb.
The two chatted while eating barbecue. Occasionally, diners nearby would glance over, but despite Ding Shuyan wearing a duckbill hat, her figure and aura were unmistakable.
Yet, because Jiang Ning was there, and the rcedes G-Class was parked on the roadside, no one dared to approach.
Ding Shuyan took a sip of Coke, "It’s been ages since I last had a late-night snack by the roadside."
She actually quite liked going out alone at night, but after hearing about Lin Zida and Zhuang Jianhui, she decided against it.
The charcoal grill on the table burned, and the dripping oil from the lamb made a sizzling sound.
"Milk tea, anyone want milk tea?"
A plainly dressed young couple walked over. The man was carrying a foam box, smiling, and the young woman was enthusiastic: "We’ve made this milk tea ourselves. It’s cheap, and we only use imported pearls."
Jiang Ning preferred Coke with his barbecue over milk tea, but after hesitating for a mont, he bought a cup of milk tea.
After making a couple of rounds, the young couple sold only two cups of milk tea. As they walked farther away, the young woman said, "We made six bucks and only have ten more cups to sell!"
The voice reached Jiang Ning’s ears, and he said, "Not bad."
Ding Shuyan, also having heard, comnted while holding an iron skewer, "Actually, if they sold separately, they might make twelve bucks."
Jiang Ning chuckled, "On the bright side, spending six bucks to accompany her boyfriend—doesn’t that seem more worthwhile?"
Ding Shuyan was slightly surprised, giving Jiang Ning a second look.
In her understanding, what exactly is Transcendent? It’s the disruption of order. If ancient soldiers broke through an enemy’s city, what would they do?
If she were Transcendent, of course, she’d do whatever she pleased.
But Jiang Ning was different.
Actually, Ding Shuyan found her impression of Jiang Ning to be quite peculiar. Clearly, he was a Transcendent, yet he remained low-key.
In that instant, she suddenly felt she understood him a bit more.
