Chapter 942: 0942 listed! (Second update)
Longjia has gone public!
This is groundbreaking news for Zhongshan City. After all, Longjia is the first company in Zhongshan City to go public. Its future developnt will undoubtedly beco a pillar industry for the city.
The business scene in Zhongshan City exploded with chatter. Whether it was Hengye Group or Rongda Group, they had all been decisively surpassed by Longjia.
Many enterprises in Zhongshan City began discussing the major event of Longjia’s IPO.
“Who would have thought that the dream Shen Tianlong couldn’t complete would be realized by his daughter? Now he can rest in peace beneath the earth, can’t he?”
“I thought Longjia’s IPO would take much longer. At the very least, it wouldn’t be this soon.”
“Don’t you know? Longjia released a brand-new product—a liquid dication called Spiritual Liquid. It’s said to be miraculous, priced at a hundred thousand dollars for one small bottle. Tsk-tsk… Who would’ve expected Longjia to reach this level in the pharmaceutical industry?”
When the topic of Longjia’s Spiritual Liquid ca up, most people were deeply curious. After all, Longjia hadn’t achieved much in the dical field before, and suddenly developing such a miraculous drug truly shocked everyone.
“I saw that video—such a long cut on the skin could instantly heal. This kind of dication is indeed incredible. It’s said that drinking one bottle makes a person immune to all diseases. Forget about immortality; living a hundred years wouldn’t be a problem,” comnted soone.
“If you ask , Longjia may not have such great capabilities on its own. It’s all thanks to that young man—both Shen ngchen’s bodyguard and a company executive handpicked by Shen Tianlong. The speed at which Longjia went public is inseparable from him. He’s truly an extraordinary person!” soone ntioned Ye Qiu.
In fact, within the business world, most people were unfamiliar with Ye Qiu. Even though Ye Qiu had attended a few comrcial gatherings in the past, he hadn’t made any significant achievents. Besides, Longjia’s growth was mostly attributed to Shen ngchen’s efforts. No one knew how much Ye Qiu had contributed to Longjia.
Among the chatter of small-scale businesses, Hengye, a large corporation that had once been on par with Longjia, felt particularly emotional. This was especially true for Hengye’s chairman, Wang Jiahao, who had personally witnessed how Longjia grew bit by bit in Shen ngchen’s hands.
Sitting on the sofa with his son Wang Kun, watching the television broadcast of Longjia’s IPO, Wang Jiahao sighed deeply, “Generations of talent replace one another. A wave of newcors overtaking the old! Shen Tianlong, you and I once stood stalemated in the business field. Who would’ve thought, in the end, I’d lose to your daughter?”
Wang Kun didn’t listen closely to his father’s lant. His eyes were fixed entirely on the man standing beside Shen ngchen on the screen, his lips curved in a faint smile.
Wang Kun would never forget Ye Qiu in his lifeti. This man had left too deep an impression on him, to the point he was sowhat afraid to even et Ye Qiu.
In the chairman’s office at Rongda, Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao were also glued to the TV, watching Longjia’s IPO—especially Ye Qiu’s figure present on-screen. Both of them couldn’t help but feel that their past efforts in improving relations with Longjia had been the wisest decision they’d made. This strengthened their resolve to maintain a friendly attitude toward Longjia in the future, at least for as long as Ye Qiu was alive; they wouldn’t change their stance.
On the street, Wang Jianguo—once a senior employee at Longjia Group—had lost his forr status and glory. Now completely destitute, he was forced to set up a stall by the roadside to make ends et. Often driven away by city managent, he had fallen from a life of prominence to one of anonymity. He now looked much older as he gazed at Zhongshan City’s constantly replayed major news about Longjia’s IPO, his feelings a complex mixture of sorrow and regret.
If he hadn’t acted the way he did back then and had chosen to support Shen ngchen, perhaps today he would also have played a role in Longjia’s IPO. But now, Longjia had grown into a corporate titan, far beyond what he could dream of avenging. He was rely a small figure, thoroughly relegated to the bottom rung of society.
At the Chu household, Chu Yao’s mother prepared a lavish dinner for Chu Yao and Gao Ming. Regarding Gao Ming as a future son-in-law, Chu’s mother approved of him. Chu Yao and Gao Ming had been together for quite so ti, and her mother felt that after graduation, her daughter could marry him.
“Now bringing you today’s news updates.”
“At 11 a.m. this morning, Longjia Group officially went public, with the company’s chairwoman Shen ngchen delivering a pre-IPO speech.”
The news broadcast continued as the three of them ate, listening idly to the news. They had already heard about Longjia’s IPO. However, as the news presenter ntioned Ye Qiu’s na, a subtle change flickered across Chu Yao’s expression.
“Mr. Ye Qiu, the developer of Spiritual Liquid, can you comnt on the pricing at $100,000 per bottle? Is it perhaps excessive, given that not everyone can afford it?”
“Spiritual Liquid was created through a fusion of traditional Chinese dicine and boasts extraordinary efficacy. Naturally, it’s true that many people wouldn’t be able to afford it. However, Longjia Group intends to sell it globally while also reserving a portion of Spiritual Liquid within China to distribute freely to those genuinely in need of life-saving treatnt,” Ye Qiu said. Dressed in a tailored suit, he appeared refreshingly polished and poised before the cara, speaking comfortably.
Chu’s mother imdiately switched off the TV just as Ye Qiu finished speaking. She turned to Chu Yao and said, “Co on, eat, eat.”
Chu Yao’s emotions clearly shifted, sothing her mother and Gao Ming both noticed.
Seeing Ye Qiu on TV just now, Chu’s mother felt a slight pang of regret. If she hadn’t insisted on keeping Chu Yao away from Ye Qiu at the ti, maybe things wouldn’t have turned out like this. But who could’ve imagined that even a re bodyguard could have such a dazzling day?
“I don’t feel like eating. I’m not hungry. You two go ahead,” Chu Yao said, putting down her chopsticks and retreating to her room.
She picked up her phone and sent a text to her best friend and confidant, Zhang Qinqin: “Did I make the wrong choice? I should’ve followed my heart back then and ignored my mom’s advice.”
Ma Qinqin quickly replied: “If you missed your chance, then choose to bless them. So people, so things, once lost, can never be reclaid.”
Tears silently stread down Chu Yao’s face.
…
After the IPO ceremony, Shen ngchen was completely exhausted and rushed back to the hotel to catch up on sleep.
Ye Qiu, anwhile, arrived at the gates of Grenoble University and dialed a phone number. Before long, Shangguan Hong appeared before him.
“You’re leaving, aren’t you?” Shangguan Hong asked softly.
“Yep. Didn’t expect you’d guess it,” Ye Qiu replied with a smile, scratching the back of his head.
The man standing before her, like a neighbor’s cheerful boy next door, bore a charm in his smile Shangguan Hong hadn’t seen for a long ti.
“Are you here to say goodbye to ?”
“Yeah.” Ye Qiu nodded. “Seeing you chasing your dreams here makes happy for you.”
Shangguan Hong was silent. The atmosphere grew quiet—a mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity, as if ti apart had rendered even close acquaintances sowhat distant.
“Well, I should go back now. You need to work hard,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Shangguan Hong nodded slightly.
Ye Qiu walked a few steps, suddenly turning back to say, “Oh, there’s sothing I’ve never told you before—I ca to France mainly just to see you.”
“Alright then. That’s all I wanted to say. I’m leaving now.” Ye Qiu turned around, not looking back as he waved to Shangguan Hong.
As Ye Qiu walked farther and farther away, Shangguan Hong abruptly chased after him and from behind, hugged him tightly.
“Thank you!” Shangguan Hong couldn’t hold it back; tears slid from the corners of her eyes as she whispered this near Ye Qiu’s ear before letting go and running away.
Ye Qiu stood still for a few seconds before continuing to walk slowly, disappearing down the street corner.
