Chapter Sixty Further

  After comforting his mother, Ning Qingming went to bed very late. The next day, taking advantage of the opportunity, Ning Qingming made a phone call to Cheng Jianjun to arrange a time and then went to his office.

  "Good job, Xiao Ning!" Cheng Jianjun gave a thumbs up upon learning that Ning Qing had successfully transferred the entire office building, saying: "Not bad, you've got guts!"

  Ning Qing smiled humbly and asked Cheng Jianjun for his bank account number, planning to transfer the 15 million yuan that belonged to him.

  "Xiao Ning, with your courage, don't rush to transfer the money into my account. Why not continue our cooperation?" Cheng Jianjun smiled and let Ning Qingming sit down, taking out a document from his drawer and handing it to her: "This is an overview of the industries involved in our group's investments. The New Wangpai Shopping Mall is just one of many medium-sized investment projects."

  "It turned out that General Manager Cheng was the younger cousin of Chairman Cheng Dong of the Cheng Group!" Ning Qingming took a look at the materials, which included some group photos of members of the Cheng Group. Cheng Jianjun was among them, and he couldn't help but take a fright. The Cheng Group was a heavyweight in Southeast Asia, and in recent years, it had gradually shifted its industries to Asia. As for the Cheng Group, the new Wangpai Shopping Mall was indeed just a small project.

  Cheng Yuan, the founder of the Chengshi Group, is said to have married a wife in several countries and had over a dozen children. As for his nephew, Cheng Jianjun, he was just lukewarm about him, so Cheng Jianjun was not valued within the family. He wanted to start his own business independently, but unfortunately, he lacked sufficient funds, so he could only secretly accumulate wealth.

  "Xiao Ning, if you pay attention to financial news, you'll naturally know some information about our family. I won't hide it from you, my uncle's business, I can only watch and don't have anything to do with it. Now, I'm arranged to manage the new Wangpai shopping mall, although the profit is not much, but it's good that it's far away from the emperor, and I can take the opportunity to plan for myself."

  Cheng Jianjun looked at Ning Qingmian and smiled: "You're still a student, and you're not old, but you have a calm temperament that ordinary people don't have, which is enough for me to trust you. I've been abroad for a long time and only returned last year, there's no one here I can trust. Managing this shopping mall, nominally it's still someone from the Cheng Group, there are many things that aren't convenient to show up in person, if you can cooperate with me, I believe there will be unexpected surprises."

  "As a manager, I admit that I want to make money, but I want to get it through good means." Ning Qingming looked straight at Cheng Jianjun, implying that if the cooperation proposed by Cheng Jianjun was not legitimate, she would definitely refuse.

  "Haha......", Cheng Jianjun was taken aback, and couldn't help but laugh. "Xiao Ning, where did you think this was going? I'm talking about cooperation on some promising projects, just helping me to negotiate them."

  "Ah!" Ning Qing's face turned slightly red as she smiled and said: "I was thinking too much!"

  Cheng Jianjun made a casual gesture and smiled: "Didn't you buy a house recently?"

  "Yes. How did Manager Cheng know?" Ning Qingming was a little surprised. He hadn't publicized the matter of buying a house himself, so how did Cheng Jianjun find out?

  "This isn't hard to know!" Cheng Jianjun poured himself a glass of water, sat down and said: "You bought that small district. The second phase has been completed. It's estimated that it will be put up for sale after a while. Two rooms and one living room layout. The down payment should be around 1.5 million. Help me invest 15 million in the house there. Just enough for ten units."

  "Good!" Ning Qing replied briefly. He knew that the district would continue to appreciate in value and also wanted to buy a few more units. Now, adding on to Cheng Jianjun's plan to buy ten units, they could make a one-time purchase of so many units. He believed they could get a relatively discounted price.

  "When the time comes, I will use these ten down payment houses to take out a loan from the bank. Then, I will use the bank's money to buy twenty more down payment houses. For some that are not convenient for me to show up in person, I will just instruct you and it will be fine. After the deal is done, I will pay you a reasonable rebate. Of course, you can also use the information you learn from me to speculate on a few houses yourself and make extra money."

  "Take out a mortgage from the bank for a down payment on a house? Is that okay?" Ning Qingming's eyes widened. If it was against the law, she absolutely wouldn't do it.

  "Some things just don't work on the surface, but I have my ways!" Cheng Jianjun smiled mysteriously. "Xiao Ning, rest assured, I won't ask you to do anything illegal. After all, you're still young. Some things are not within your thinking scope."

  After talking to Cheng Jianjun for a while, Ning Qingming also understood that Cheng Jianjun had taken a liking to her and wanted to cooperate with her. He probably thought she was easy to control since she hadn't been in the industry for long. Moreover, a 20-year-old girl with such courage was rare, so he had a sympathetic heart and intentionally pulled her up.

  Back in the office, there were customers looking at samples and they finalized a few styles. After sending off the customers, Zhang Yu hastily said: "Boss, I'll go to the restroom for a bit, you take care of this, just as I was about to go to the restroom, more customers came in, I didn't even have time to go."

  "Go ahead! You alone are indeed busy. Rui Li also said that with only one person watching the first floor, it's not convenient to walk away sometimes. Let's take a look and see if there's a suitable one, we need to ask two more people."

  As business got better, she often had to take a taxi to deliver goods, sometimes even having to move the goods herself, and then go back and forth to customers' companies to pick up things like water signs. If she were to hire someone, it would be best to hire a boy. Ning Qing thought to herself.

  After work, Ning Qingming called Du Huajia's phone and made an appointment for dinner that night.

  "What's this? You've made some money and want to treat me to a big meal?" Du Huajia said with a smile, "I'm going to take you to a five-star hotel restaurant."

  "The location is up to you!" Ning Qing said with a smile: "Actually, there's something else I'd like to ask for your advice on."

  "Xiao Ning, you're getting more and more confident in your speech. Are you finally treating me as a true friend?"

  Ning Qing smiled and changed the subject, yes, in the past, facing Du Huo's family was always timid, not daring to make friends with them, but with the success of several businesses in recent days, confidence has increased, and naturally became more open-minded.

  In the evening, Ning Qingmin dressed up and rushed to the appointed wine tower. Du Hu's family had already arrived. Seeing Ning Qingmin wearing a simple silver-gray dress, her whole person was fresh and elegant, smiling and saying: "Little Ning, you are getting more and more radiant."

  "Thank you for the compliment!" Ning Qing sat down elegantly, and after ordering food with Du Huo's family, he brought up the topic of Cheng Jianjun wanting to collaborate with him and asked for their opinion.

  "Cheng Jianjun is a shrewd and capable person, handling matters with stability. Seeing him still staying at Xinwangpai Mall without setting up his own business, it's clear that he wants to rely on the influence of the Cheng Group to consolidate his strength. Rest assured, he won't fight a battle without confidence. Since he cooperated with you, naturally, he also values your ability. You should seize this opportunity to take yourself to a higher level. Don't limit yourself to being just an individual business owner."

  Du Huajia analyzed it again and Ning Qingming eliminated the doubts in his heart. Plus, he was familiar with what would happen in the next few years, so he should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
