Chapter 600 (2/2)

The Yao Family had collapsed, and the strength exposed by the Tang Family finally made all the families realize that even though the Tang Family had been in decline all these years, they didn’t know how really powerful they were. This family could be said to be the in the top five among the domestic prominent families.

Therefore, Tang Wei’s status among the scions’ circle in the capital was also elevated along with the rise of his family. In just this n half a month, there were more than ten scions who disguisedly showed him amiable faces and goodwill. These people merely wanted to exploit an opportunity with his presence, whereas those who couldn’t get close to him were all stretching their necks, waiting anxiously to make a move.

Like this Qin Shaoyang. This fella was already rich, and his family even more. His father had been in the real estate development business for more than 20 years. He earned himself a full pot of fortune with his strong business sense, acumen, and schemes. Added with the wealth of his family that also became a major stockholder in several large logistic businesses in the country, some people even calculated that the total assets of Qin Shaoyang’s family if not more than 50 billion, it was probably not far away from that number.

Unfortunately, the Qin Family only had a few members. Qin Shaoyang himself had an uncle, a black sheep, the prodigal son of the family who was always indulging himself in disgusting orgies, drinking, gambling, and frequenting brothels—a typical silk pants lifestyle. The most important of all was that he had not been married until now and had no fixed, serious girlfriends.

Qin Shaoyang was the youngest of two brothers. His big brother entered the Ministry of Public Security system on account of his father, who secretly removed the obstructions for him. Contrary to what one might expect, he was now prospering there, yet no one knew what his future held. Qin Shaoyang was very smart and also received an excellent education in the capital since childhood. He had made acquaintances with a group of scions and young masters in Beijing in his school fraternity, and only had a slight attitude of a typical silk pants. He imitated his father’s style when he entered society, creating personal connections by currying favor with those in authority for personal gains. He reached perfection in that aspect.

The reason he found Tang Wei this time was that he hoped that he could establish a connection with him and build a bridge to the Tang Family in extension. Therefore, he proposed a joint venture to set up an entertainment media company that integrated services such as an online literature section, game development, film and television production and their marketing, as well as a web broadcast platform and other types to be incorporated into a large entertainment media company.

The total investment was 4 billion yuan. According to his share proposal, Tang Wei would have 30% shares of the company by investing 200 million yuan, whereas he would hold 70% of the company’s shares with a 3.7 billion yuan investment. It could be said that this proposal was no different than giving money away.

“Contrary to one might expect, you are willing to sacrifice your hard-earned money, Shaoyang.” Tang Wei secretly heaved a sigh of relief as his serious expression disappeared and was replaced with a teasing smile.

“I have no other ways around it. Who made me want to hold on to your thigh in the first place,” said Qin Shaoyang while shrugging his shoulders.

Tang Wei couldn’t help but burst into laughter and then said, “You turn out to be this direct, eh?”

“Will you even look at me in the eyes if I acted artificial and hypocritical?” Replied Qin Shaoyang smilingly.

Showing a faint smile in response, Tang Wei then took the red wine glass handed over by the beautiful bikini girl beside him. After gulping it down, he then sighed, “If it stands to reason, your proposal is great and I shouldn’t refuse it. But my younger brother has talked to me, hoping that I would take part in politics and become a government official. Though I haven’t fully made up my mind yet, it’s almost a done deal! I’ll talk to my grandfather when I have considered it clearly. He should be very supportive and approve it.”

Taking part in politics and the government?

Qin Shaoyang stared blankly for a moment and immediately furrowed his brows.

He was aware of the law that politicians were forbidden from doing business in private. If Tang Wei was really to enter the political arena, his opportunity to hold onto his thigh was probably as good as gone already. There may be other members of the Tang Family, but Tang Wei was the only suitable one.

Tang Wei’s expression suddenly moved as a trace of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, “Shaoyang, that ‘Knight XV’ car seems to have arrived in your garage, right? I heard that this younger brother of mine likes cars so much that Auntie Tang Min recently gifted him another limited edition luxury sports car.”

His younger brother?

With a moved expression, Qin Shaoyang’s eyes suddenly lit up as if he had realized something. He then replied without a shred of hesitation, “If that brother of yours likes it, I’ll deliver it to him! But of course, he will definitely refuse it if I’m the one who’s giving it to him for free like this, though.”

Tang Wei was grinning ear to ear as he said, “Then, I thank you my brother’s behalf first. If anything, he just called me saying that he happened to be in the capital, too. Shall we go look for him?”

Qin Shaoyang immediately stood up and said with all seriousness, “Then I’d like to ask Brother Wei to recommend me. Tang Xiu… is simply my idol.”

“Ah, it seems that this younger brother of mine is very famous!” Commented Tang Wei smilingly.

“He’s more than famous.” Qin Shaoyang praised in a sigh, “His name is virtually like a roar of thunder that pierces one’s ears. Just based on what he did today, I’m afraid all the silk pants all over the country won’t even dare to speak up any words to challenge him.”

Tang Wei was taken aback. He slept until noon today and then received a phone call from Qin Shaoyang when he got up, thus driving here. He was simply oblivious to whatever happened today! After hesitating, he then asked with a confused expression, “What exactly did Tang Xiu do today?”

With a strange expression plastered his face, Qin Shaoyang replied, “Don’t you know that Tang Xiu just trashed Zhao Yundi today? It seems that Zhao Yundi turned into a pig’s head after getting beaten. After his father went there, not only did he not blame Tang Xiu, he even thanked him and took it as a debt of gratitude… Simply put, Zhao Qingfeng kind of regarded Tang Xiu as the life-saving benefactor of his son!”

Tang Wei gulped down, as he forced a smile and said, “Among all the young men under 30 all over the country, I’m afraid that only this brother of mine would dare to beat up that lunatic Zhao Yundi in such aboveboard and straightforward manner.”
