Chapter 9
Since Qin Sheng had nothing to do, so he sized up the decorations of the company . This old fogey was indeed lacking in morals . He must spend quite a lot of money to hire someone to arrange the company's feng shui . However, he still had the temperament of a nouveau riche, which could be noticed from the grandiose and vulgar decorations . He had definitely made quite a bit of money in the past few years .
"Wow, my little friend! I thought I misheard . It’s really you!" A man shouted as he came out . His hair was slicked back . He was not tall and was about 220 pounds . He had fat ears and head, his face full of meat .
This was the first time the two front desk beauties saw their big boss like this . They wanted to laugh but did not dare to . They could only hold it in, afraid that their boss would fire them .
Qin Sheng had been staring at the middle-aged man with a smile on his face . When the man ran towards Qin Sheng, preparing to give him an excited hug, Qin Sheng had already imagined that the ugly scene which might cause the two beauties to vomit out their last dinner . Thus he reached out his hand to stop the man, “Stop, you old fox . I know you're very happy to see me, but you need to calm down . "
"Kid, you've disappeared for so long . Now you're finally willing to appear . I thought you were already decapitated!" The middle-aged man laughed loudly .
Qin Sheng rolled his eyes, “Could you think of something good? Do you really want me to die? Even if I will die, you, the rich and powerful man with a lots of debts will definitely die ahead of me!"
"What the hell are you talking about in the middle of the day? Come, let's go to my office and have a nice chat!" The man spat before pulling Qin Sheng inside .
With a smile, Qin Sheng replied, "Your two beauties at the front desk are pretty good!"
“I can introduce them to you if you want . ”
Qin Sheng shook his head, "No . Leave them for yourself . I won’t take your love . "
“Fuck off!"
The middle-aged man was called Jiang Xianbang . He was mainly conducting import and export business . But at the same time, he was also a powerful broker . He had done some shady business during his early years, such as grave robbery and smuggling antiques . Later, he quitted the business and made a personal network with money . He encountered two sponsors and experienced several setbacks, some of which were even lethal, before obtaining a stable life .
One of his sponsor was Qin Sheng’s grandpa . That year, Jiang Xianbang lost everything . He had to go to Zhongnan Mountains to find an mentor to solve his doubts, and coincidentally met Qin Sheng’s grandpa . Seeing that he was not a bad person and had accumulated a lot of good karma for those years, the old man gave a few pointers and introduced him to the old Taoist from Louguan Pavillion, which helped him to avoid the crisis and walk on the right path .
When Qin Sheng went to Shanghai to study, Jiang Xianbang had always been taking care of him, so the two of them were very close . It was only because Qin Sheng’s grandpa enjoined him something that he had no other interactions with Jiang Xianbang .
Jiang Xianbang’s office was luxurious and grandiose . The huge ground window shew the whole sight of Pudong Finance District . The office was filled with purple sandalwood furnitures, as tacky as ever . Behind the desk, there was a wall of books, which were filled with Chinese historical records, classics, and biographies of famous people from around the world . However, these books were just facades . He probably had not read even a few of them .
“Xiao Li, bring my best Pu’er Tea from Tong Qing Hao . ” Jiang Xianbang called for the female secretary to prepare some tea . The secretary was even prettier than the two at the front desk, and when she walked, her butt was almost twisted into the air . Jiang Xianbang did not mind Qin Sheng being there . He slapped hard on the female secretary’s butt, while she reacted with her pout .
Qin Sheng knew that he had a lust for woman . After all, he was still not married or had any children . He said that he had done lots of bad things and didn't want the effects to fall on his wife or children, thus he better stayed single .
“Now tell me, when did you return to Shanghai? Are you looking down on a nouveau riche like me?" Jiang Xianbang had never treated Qin Sheng as an ordinary person . He had met countless people, and when he first saw Qin Sheng, he felt that the kid was filled with spirituality . Besides, the kid had the old man behind him, so he naturally dared not to underestimated him .
“I just came back for a few days and finished settled some matters . Then I came to you right away . I am just about to stay in your place for some free food for a few days," Qin Sheng giggled .
“Help yourself . I have nothing but money . I cannot take these money with me after I die, and I don’t have any children to inherit, so I have to spend it . " Jiang Xianbang lit up a cigar and laughed loudly . His lifestyle and attitude were extremely open-minded . He had long seen through everything .
"How about you call me dad and I'll leave all these things to you?" Jiang Xianbang's eyes suddenly flashed as he asked .
Qin Sheng blanked out for a moment before replying, "Hahaha, you want to take advantage of me? You won’t get me!”
With regards to Qin Sheng's tactful rejection, Jiang Xianbang did not mind at all . He had only mentioned it out of the blue . Actually, he did not think that he deserved to be Qin Sheng’s dad .
"How is the old man? I haven't seen him for many years . It's a pity that the old man doesn't allow me to visit him . " Jiang Xianbang sighed . He also knew that he was sinful .
Qin Sheng was a little disappointed as he slowly said, “my grandfather passed away two years ago!"
Jiang Xianbang was a little shocked when he heard that . He stared at Qin Sheng blankly . The cigar in his hand was almost extinguished, then he trembled and asked, “did you say that he passed away?"
Qin Sheng nodded without a word . He had grown up with his grandfather, and had long understood his grandfather's words about many things . Everything was doomed . Anyone would die, soon or later .
"If the old man had gone, what do you plan to do?" Jiang Xianbang owed the old man a favor after all, so he could only return this favor to Qin Sheng .
"I'll stay in Shanghai, and I may bother you a lot . I’ll need you to get me out of trouble if it’s neccesary . " Qin Sheng said half-jokingly .
Jiang Xianbang disapprovingly said, “Don’t be so courteous . It’s my duty to help you out of troubles . By the way, how about you come to work in my place? I can make you the general manager and introduce a girl to you . I won’t make the old man disappointed . ”
