Chapter 13 Big Boss
- The LED screen in Tian Cheng Securities was completely filled with depressing green figures.
- Ms. Fang shrieked inside the VIP room. “When will this Guo An Biotech Group stop dropping in share price? I'm so frustrated now! The price went up for 3 days and fell for 2 weeks in a row now, before I could even cut my loss. I have two million trapped inside this stock.”
- Ms. Fang slammed her fists on the tabletop out of annoyance. She walked out of the room to take a breather.
- The woman walked towards the lobby. She saw Qin Ming and Nie Haitang looking at the LED screen atop their heads. Ms. Fang felt angrier looking at Nie Haitang that was prettier than her on top of her own frustration. She despised girls that're prettier than her the most.
- Ms. Fang walked over and said, “Hmph! What a brazen loser wishing to get rich overnight. Hey, what stock did you buy?”
- Qin Ming ignored Ms. Fang. Nie Haitang was unwilling to bother the lady with perfume smell stinging her nose as well. She pinched her nose and stepped away from the woman.
- That was the first time Ms. Fang was being completely disregarded. She looked that the couple in disbelief. How dare they ignored me?!
- Fang Meixia gritted her teeth in anger. She mumbled. “Li, which stock did they invest in?”
- The female manager used the search function on her tablet and quickly located Nie Haitang's account. She whispered in Fang Meixia's ear. “Century Resources Group. This share stopped dropping yesterday. The price dropped again after rising slightly when the market opened today. Investors could not even sell their shares at 2.98, so the price might keep dropping. These two are really a couple of fools.”
- Fang Meixia let out her laugh after looking at the depressing figures for Century Resources Group's share price. She was glad that the fools are going to lose their money as her own money was trapped as well.
- Fang Meixia spoke in an arrogant manner. “Pfft, you think that you can survive in this share market after reading a few books? Hahaha, I hope that you're happy for losing all your money now. Idiots!”
- The female manager, Li fanned the flames as well. “Do you need our firm to loan you 10 to take the public transport back to where you came from? We did promise to provide our customers with the best services after all.”
- Nie Haitang had faith in Qin Ming's decision initially, but her palms turned sweaty when she saw the dreadful figures on the LED screen. The girl asked nervously, “Qin Ming, are we doing okay? Is there really a chance for us to earn some money now?”
- Qin Ming spoke with confidence. “Don't worry. This share alone will rebound against the market's trend later. Trust me.”
- Fang Meixia spoke to the couple from on high like a professor. “Hahaha, what meaningless sweet talk. Young lady, I should tell you that it's better to give up on a guy like him that only knows how to bluff. It's already an undesirable fact that he's poor, but this guy doesn't stand on his own feet either. Now he had lost all your money in the share market. I would dump him right away if I'm in your shoes.”
- Qin Ming frowned. Is she crazy? Why is she targeting me all the time? She really thinks that she can just walk all over me?
- He was about to get mad when the short and fat middle-aged man was seen to be rushing downstairs with a phone beside his ear. That man shouted as he ran. “Attention everyone! The big boss is here, get into the formation now!”
- Fang Meixia was delighted. “Ha, the big boss is here. What are you looking at, you loser? Do you think that the big boss is someone that you'll ever get acquainted with in your entire life? A poor loser like you only deserved to admire someone of such high social standing from afar.”
- Qin Ming was really angered now. He said to Nie Haitang, “Haitang, please wait for me here. I'm going to the washroom.”
- Fang Meixia had her arms around the middle-aged man, Dai Gao as they stood at the building's entrance. “Eh? There are two cars parked in front, a Rolls-Royce and a Mercedes Benz. There's a man and a woman in each car. Who's the big boss? Is that woman the big boss's girlfriend?”
- “Slap!” Dai Gao slapped Fang Meixia. He rebuked. “What are you chattering for? We do not gossip about the big boss's matters. Do you want him to hear you and suffer the consequences?”
- Fang Meixia was slapped by her man for no apparent reason. She felt resentful but was unable to act up. That man was her sponsor after all.
- Dai Gao walked forward with a smile and bowed deeply. “Chairman Hou, welcome.”
- Hou Qing waved Dai Gao off and scolded him. “You're blocking my way, get lost now. Why did you arrange all the employees to block the entrance? Young master does not like such high profile treatment. Ask them to retreat right away!”
- Dai Gao dared not to refute Hou Qing's orders. He quickly moved away and waved the employees off after realizing that his deliberate arrangement did not fulfil his bootlicking intention. “Go back to your own positions and continue your work.”
- Hou Qing bent forward to open the door for Song Ying after he scolded Dai Gao. He put on a smile and said, “Ms. Song, is the young master coming in a separate car?”
- Song Ying extended her slender legs and got out of the car. She was dressed in a professional attire with her lustrous black hair tied up neatly. Her perfect facial features were beautiful like a goddess, but the girl's sharp eyes hinted an unwelcoming vibe to ward off anyone that dared to make a move on her.
- Song Ying carried a tablet in her arm and spoke as she walked. “Young master had already arrived. He's waiting for us inside the building.”
- Hou Qing held his breath. He spoke nervously. “What? How is that possible.... Damn it. It's my mistake for being late. Can you please explain to young master that I did not arrive late on purpose, Ms. Song?”
- Song Ying said in a nonchalant manner, “That's alright. Young master arrived earlier because he wanted to inspect this branch office.”
- Dai Gao, Fang Meixia as well as the manager, Li was confounded by Song Ying's words. They expected Song Ying to be the person behind Hou Qing, but the pretty girl was only the young master's secretary. What surprised them the most was that Song Ying mentioned that her young master had already arrived.
- But they did not see anyone that resembled a young and rich person that visited the securities firm since early morning.
- Everyone's mind wandered to Qin Ming, but they quickly dismissed that thought. They feel that the idea was so ridiculous, they could not even bear to say that out loud. That guy was wearing such cheap outfits and using a Huawei phone that cost a few thousand. He's just a lame and poor nobody.
- Everyone escorted Song Ying to the office, but was met with Qin Ming that was already seated inside the room.
- Dai Gao saw Qin Ming. He thought to himself. Is he crazy? Dai Gao chastised loudly. “Are you crazy? How did you enter in the office? Get out now! Security. Secu......”
- “Slap!” Hou Qing slapped Dai Gao forcefully.
- Hou Qing scolded. “What's the matter with you, Dai Gao? Do you think you're qualified enough to even speak to the young master, let alone reprimand him? Are you planning to quit your job now? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself simply because you're the boss of this securities firm?”
- Hou Qing walked forward and bowed deeply at Qin Ming after he spoke. “Please forgive me for being late, young master.”
- WHAT?!
- Dai Gao, Fang Meixia and the manager, Li were all dumbfounded. This youngster dressed in such lame outfit is their big boss's sponsor? How is that possible? He came to the securities firm by taking a cab. And there's only a hundred thousand in the broker account that he registered.
- Colors drained from Dai Gao's face. That man was covered in cold sweats as his legs gave out. The middle-aged man slumped onto the floor into a kneeling position.
- Fang Meixia was caught up in her utter disbelief. “Big boss, you must have made a mistake. This guy is just a stinking loser.”
- “Slap!” Song Ying slapped Fang Meixia as soon as the words left her mouth. The girl's slap was packed with unexpected power. Fang Meixia fell backwards onto the floor as 3 teeth fell out of her jaws. Her mouth was covered in blood and her hair was messed up. Fang Meixia looked like a tramp on the streets.
- Song Ying frowned. “Is this person one of the employees here? Why is she not dressed in our uniform?”
- Dai Gao stammered. “She.... she.... Chairman Hou, please save me...”
- Hou Qing did not know what happened to Dai Gao, but he gained clarity after listening to Dai Gao's begging for mercy. This stupid man must have displayed his arrogance in front of the young master when he arrived earlier. Now that Dai Gao realized young master's identity, he's regretting his actions. But it's all too late now.
- Hou Qing scolded Dai Gao to himself. This moron! He's trying to drag me into his own mess.
- Hou Qing chose his words carefully. “Young master......”
- Qin Ming raised his palm and spoke casually. “Do as I say and boost up the share price for Century Resources Group right away. You can hand in your resignation letter if you fail to complete this task.”
- Hou Qing gulped. Fear washed over him. He knew that all his wealth and social standing depended on this young man in front of him.
