Chapter 253: Ning Qing, How Much Have You Made In The Past Six Months?
“Miss Ning, I’ve read your information. You’ve risen very fast in the entertainment industry this year. The “City of Love” has gotten you on the Forbes Rich List. To be honest, although I like your potential very much, you are too young after all. Now that Young Master Lu has introduced you, I’ll chip in an buy some shares. We open an entertainment company together.”
Ning Qing laughed and tucked a wisp of silky hair from her cheek behind her ear with her fair little hand. She raised her eyebrow and said, “President Song, I don’t want to open an entertainment company with you.”
Since his time was precious, she went straight to the topic.
“Oh?” Song Jin showed some interest. “Miss Ning, you are the first person to refuse me in these years. Why?”
“To quote President Song, although I am very optimistic about President Song’s overall strength, Song Zong is too old-fashioned after all. I am afraid to be tricked by you and make less money by opening an entertainment company with you.”
“…” Song Jin paused, and then laughed, he looked directly at Ning Qing, “How does Miss Ning know that I will trick you?”
Ning Qing’s pair of autumn eyes sparkled, “Opening an entertainment company, with my status and influence in the entertainment industry now, it would inevitably be famous and popular, President Song always wants to use my fame, but still said that it’s because of Young Master Lu, you rely on your age to bully the younger generation, if this is not tricking me, what is it?”
Song Jin sat there and looked at Ning Qing thoroughly. “It’s a bit interesting! What is the purpose of Miss Ning’s arrival today?”
“President Song, I want to follow you in financial investment, stock speculation.”
Song Jin laughed and took a sip of tea from the cup on the tea table, carelessly saying, “Miss Ning’s wishful thinking is really good. Everyone knows that I am a god of wealth in investing and speculating stocks. Wherever I invest, the company would surely be profitable, but you know nothing about investing and speculating stocks, how do you want to cooperate with me?”
“President Song, do you know Yin Muchen?”
Song Jin put down his teacup. “Of course I know.”
Ning Qing nodded. She leaned her delicate back into the sofa chair, her eyes aggressive. “I have a good friendship with Big Brother Yin. If I want to invest in stocks, I can just follow him, but I prefer to look for you, because Big Brother Yin specializes in the business industry, while President Song invests in the entertainment industry. Since it is the entertainment industry, how can President Song just say that I don’t know anything about it?”
“I have invested in Huang Cheng Cinematics. With my personal fame and the big sale of “City of Love”, President Song can estimate how much the price of Huan Cheng has risen. Just imagine how much you can earn if President Song knew about it in advance, or if I had disclosed the news to President Song before investing in any movie? There must be a professional investment and financial management team behind God of Wealth President Song, but how can they be better than my insiders’ news? I can give President Song first-hand information as long as my fame is still there.”
This was a typical case of turning fame in the industry into rolling profits behind the scenes. As long as they had tacit understanding while cooperating, it would be a win-win situation.
Song Jin was no longer laughing. He looked at Ning Qing thoughtfully. After 30 seconds of silence, he asked, “Miss Ning, why do you want to invest in stocks with me?”
“It’s very simple. I want money.”
“Ha…haha…” Song Jin was in a good mood. “Miss Ning has grown rapidly and steadily ever since entering the entertainment industry. Your vision is both accurate and far-reaching. As long as we cooperate, your status will certainly rise to a new level.”
“No such thing, President Song makes the big money. I pick up bits and pieces after you. I wish that President Song can become the Buddha earlier here.”
Not God of Wealth, but Buddha.
Song Jin was very comfortable to be flattered by this flatterer. He patted the tea table and said, “OK, deal.”
Ning Qing flashed a warm smile. “President Song, I will send a lawyer to finalize the contract with you tomorrow. I hope we can cooperate happily.”
Ning Qing stretched out her little hand.
Song Jin slowly shook hands with her. “Miss Ning, very few women have shaken hands with me. You are the first one who is so young.”
“Oh, really? Thank you for your praise.” Ning Qing laughed.
Just then, a knock on the door sounded and a handsome figure came in. Lu Shaoming had arrived.
“Shaoming, you’re here?” Ning Qing got up and went to meet him.
Lu Shaoming took Ning Qing’s little hand and looked at the Song Jin. He called out, “Uncle.”
Ning Qing’s eyes widened. “What, un…Uncle?” Ning Qing was really surprised. She suddenly thought that her mother-in-law was also surnamed Song. She asked a very silly question, “Is, is he your biological relative?”
Lu Shaoming reached out and caressed her hair, but did not reply.
Song Jin laughed and said, “Ning Qing, I’m indeed his uncle, your mother-in-law’s biological brother. Shaoming, you have a good eye when picking your wife.”
Song Jin gave Lu Shaoming a thumbs up.
Ning Qing was immediately embarrassed. She looked down shyly and mumbled. “Uncle, I was talking nonsense just now, otherwise… Shall I open an entertainment company with you?”
After saying this, she felt that it had sounded wrong. It sounded like she was giving Song Jin a chance to make a fortune.
This time Song Jin laughed even louder. Lu Shaoming hugged her little shoulder and hugged the girl whose face had turned lobster red in his arms.
“Shaoming, Ning Qing, I still have dinner, so I’ll go first.”
“OK, uncle, go slowly.” They sent Song Jin away.
…
After the Song Jin left, Ning Qing roused up her little pink fist and hammered the man. “Shaoming, why didn’t you tell me earlier and caused me to offend him?”
“If I had said it earlier, would you have let it go? It’s about business. There’s no need to worry too much. Besides, “Lu Shaoming kissed her beautiful hair.” Doesn’t uncle like you very much?
Ning Qing was a little proud. She hummed and lifted her little chin proudly. “That’s right. Who’s your wife?”
“Stop looking so pleased! Lift your chin any higher and you’re going to rise to the sky.” The man’s coarse fingers rubbed her tiny jaw.
Then a waiter came over and Ning Qing pushed him away in a panic. “What are you doing? Not even looking at where we are.”
Lu Shaoming saw that she looked shy like a little white rabbit. She was so cute that he took her little fragrant shoulder and sat down at the table with her. “You’ve been clamoring to come out and eat, what do you want to eat now?”
Ning Qing’s eyes shone brightly. Could she come out and eat?
When eating at home, mother and Auntie Yang had prepared the recipes for her, all those health soup and nourishing soup came round after round, she was tired of having them.
The waiter handed him the menu. Ning Qing pushed it directly to him. She said softly, “Hubby, can I have a bowl of hot and sour noodles and crayfish?”
Lu Shaoming’s handsome eyebrows frowned as his sharp gaze swept towards her.
Not nutritious.
Ning Qing’s fair little fingers quietly tugged at his shirt while biting her pink lips, giving him a pitiful look.
Lu Shaoming cleared his throat and averted his gaze, “Alright”
He had said alright.
If it weren’t for the waiter, Ning Qing would have really given him a big hug. She realized the good points about the man after he had lost his memory. That is, he had no principles.
He had just said no previously but with little coquettish words from her. He would listen to her.
In the past, Lu Shaoming would not spoil her so much.
Hah.
Lu Shaoming ordered a few more dishes. In a few minutes, the waiter served them all up.
Ning Qing took a mouthful of hot and sour soup with a small spoon, and it was so delicious tears were almost running down her cheeks. “Hubby, do you want to eat it?”
“No.” The man put on gloves and peeled the crayfish for her, and then put the peeled crayfish meat on the rice.
Looking at the girl’s appetite for hot and sour noodles, Lu Shaoming indulgently asked, “Ning Qing, what do you want to make so much money for?”
“Hubby, who in the world hates money?” Ning Qing’s pearly white teeth took a bite of the hot and sour noodles delicately.
“Come on, have some rice.” Lu Shaoming took a mouthful of rice with a spoon and handed it to her mouth.
Ning Qing opened her mouth and ate the rice obediently. Her delicate cheeks were stuffed full. Her pink mouth chewed the rice with relish and went on to eat the noodles.
Lu Shaoming wiped her mouth with a bowl in one hand and a paper towel in the other. “I have money and can support you.”
Ning Qing turned to eat the rice that the man had fed her. “That’s different. I’ve thought about it carefully. During the past six months, I’ve directed plays, opened studios, invested in film and television companies, and made movies. These have reached my own expectations, and they are all good.”
“Hubby, I’ve married you. Mom doesn’t like me to work hard in the entertainment industry either. In the future, when Little Master Lu is born, and I will give you a second child. So my focus will be on the family. I want to leave the studio to Xiao Zhou to manage later. I will retire behind the scenes and control the operation. I want to really start my own business.”
“Alright,” said the man with a smile on his lips, feeding her a spoonful of rice. “Isn’t the entertainment industry your career? Ning Qing, tell me, where do you want to expand your career towards?”
“Heh,” Ning Qing’s beautiful autumn pupil blossomed with bright and dazzling light, she said softly, “no matter how much money I earn in the entertainment industry, I wouldn’t be able to enter mother’s eyes. Actually, I’m didn’t go into the entertainment industry because it was my passion. I just liked it because I was in it. People can’t be self-confident, they can only conform to society and life and not be eliminated, Hubby, Now that I am Mrs. Lu, I will really enter the noble life in the future.”
Lu Shaoming raised his sharp brows. “So you…”
“So I haven’t decided what to do yet. I’m trying to make money now. Only when I have the material foundation can I talk about my ideas.”
Xiao Zhou had asked her which step she wanted to go up to, it was not that she didn’t want to answer, but that she hadn’t thought of it.
Lu Shaoming’s handsome facial contours were soaked in soft light, he put down the bowl, put a strong arm on the back of her chair, and his long body approached her. He asked in a low voice as if he was very interested, “Ning Qing, how much money have you made in the past six months?”
They were husband and wife, all the household expenses were paid by him, she wasn’t pretentious, but her career was split clearly from him, she hadn’t gotten a single penny from him, so naturally, he did not know how much she earned.
To tell you the truth, he hadn’t thought much of her income.
But now he wanted to know.
Ning Qing laid down her chopsticks, leaned over and faced him. “Hubby, do you really want to know?”
