Qin Ming had been having a great couple of days.

Not only because he had finally managed to find the Richard watch he had been searching for, but also because... after his cousin had beaten him up, she eventually let him off the hook.

This allowed him to go out and have fun again after a couple of days of recuperation.

So, with his status as the nephew of Qin Island's wealthiest man, coupled with his decent looks, he easily hooked up with another pretty girl.

After some unspeakable fun with this girl, being a somewhat conscientious player, Qin Ming naturally took her out shopping the next day, splurging on her as a way of "compensation."

They had a stroll nearby when she asked after they finished shopping.

And while walking, they found themselves in front of the Qin Island Fenghua Building.

Qin Ming was about to brag to the pretty girl about knowing the young master of the Fenghua Group, but before he could start boasting, he heard a man and a woman talking about buying the building.

When he heard the man had bought two floors of the building, Qin Ming was a bit skeptical: Fenghua Building, being the face and headquarters of the Fenghua Group, was always leased, never sold.

Someone claiming they had bought two floors?

That was complete nonsense!

Looking at the two people's backs, one male and one female.

Qin Ming immediately realized... this guy was showing off in front of this woman!

He opened his mouth, wanting to expose the man's lie, "In all of Southern City District, only I, Young Master Qin, can show off like this, how dare you steal my thunder!"

So, he directly scoffed, "Fenghua Building only leases, not sells, don't you know? To say you bought two floors is just..."

But as he was speaking, the boasting man turned around.

Seeing the man's side profile, Qin Ming found it somewhat familiar.

And when the man fully turned around, Qin Ming suddenly realized: wasn't this... the mysterious young master who had bought a watch worth tens of millions at the Richard store?!

Qin Ming's gaze fell involuntarily on the man's wrist.

Indeed, the watch he had envied so much, worth sixteen million, was quietly sitting on the man's wrist.

Qin Ming's eye twitched, and he quickly swallowed back his half-spoken words: he liked to maintain his image and always boasted and bragged, but he never messed with genuinely wealthy and influential people.

It's okay to mess with ordinary folks, but with this one, who casually buys a sixteen million-dollar watch and whose background was unknown, it was obviously much better to be friends than enemies...

...

Meanwhile, turning around and seeing Qin Ming, whom he recognized, Chen Yan was also quite surprised.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and then looked at Qin Ming, curious to see how he would "rate" him.

What he did not expect was that this young man, who claimed to be the son of Qin Island's richest man, would completely change his tune. He coughed and said, "...if you could really buy it, that would mean you must really be well-connected!"

An astonished yet amused expression appeared on Chen Yan's face.

Both the pretty girl standing beside Qin Ming and Yu Qiao Qiao were also looking at him weirdly.

After all, Qin Ming's previous mocking tone was all too apparent, and now he had shifted gears so quickly... that was just too funny.

Yet Qin Ming was thick-skinned and didn't care about others' opinions. He chuckled and stepped forward, casually addressing Chen Yan, "Hey, I was wondering who it was. I didn't expect it to be you here, bro."

"What a coincidence!"

You don't hit a smiling face, so Chen Yan gave Qin Ming a look, smiled back, and retorted, "Not scolding me anymore?"

Qin Ming looked serious, "I wasn't scolding you, I was praising you!"

After saying this, he smiled sheepishly and muttered, "Though, I did think Fenghua Building was only for lease, never imagined it had changed."

From the information the system provided, Chen Yan already knew the reason Fenghua Building had sold two floors to him.

He looked up at the building, then mentioned offhandedly, "Fenghua Group has run into some difficulties recently, gathering funds, otherwise they wouldn't have given me such a deal."

Hearing this, Qin Ming was taken aback.

'Fenghua Group in trouble?'

'Gathering funds?'

'How come I haven't heard anything about this?'

Qin Ming wanted to inquire further, but when he looked up, he found Chen Yan wasn't paying attention to him. After dropping that remark, Chen Yan and the girl beside him walked toward Fenghua Building.

Qin Ming was about to follow, but the pretty girl beside him tugged at his clothes, asking softly, "Young Master Qin~ Who is that guy? You seem quite scared of him?"

Turning to her, Qin Ming smiled and said, "Meng Meng, I've got something to do. I'll catch up with you later."

Picking up the girl's hand, he pulled some red bills from his pocket, handed them to her, and said, "Alright, we'll catch up over WeChat!"

With that, he left the girl behind and hurried after Chen Yan.

But the girl holding the money stood still, watching his retreating figure and called out after a long while, "Young Master Qin! My name isn't Meng Meng! It's Meng Meng!"

Qin Ming didn't even turn back, waving his hand dismissively, "Okay, Neng Neng!"

Meng Meng: ??

...

For Chen Yan, Qin Ming's ordeal was just a minor episode, and after a brief chat, he moved on, holding Yu Qiao Qiao's hand and entering Fenghua Building.

After showing the access pass the system had provided, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao walked inside.

Fenghua Building was enormous, with eight elevators leading directly upstairs, divided into two elevator halls.

Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao headed to the elevator on the east side, pressed the button, and patiently waited for the elevator to arrive.

But before the elevator came, a panting Qin Ming arrived.

He must have jogged over. Upon arriving, he chuckled at Chen Yan, "Bro, no need to rush."

"We've met twice already."

"Meeting is fate. So... maybe we should get to know each other?"

Having been pursued by this young man several times, Yu Qiao Qiao looked curiously.

Chen Yan, however, was utterly uninterested. He glanced at the elevator floor number and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested in getting to know the same sex."

Yu Qiao Qiao looked up at Chen Yan.

Noticing her gaze, Chen Yan coughed awkwardly.

Hearing Chen Yan say this, Qin Ming chuckled, "Bro! In other things, I may not be able to help! But when it comes to knowing the opposite sex, I'm very capable!"

"Tell me what you want!"

"Whether it's lolitas, housewives, flight attendants, students—I can introduce them all to you!"

"Even... if you want someone who is a little violent, I know one! And she's a wealthy lady!"

"Other than liking to beat people up, everything about her is perfect—looks, figure, personality, family background!"

"You just need to be able to take a beating, and you're set for life eating soft rice!"

Chen Yan: ??

Are you a broker or a trafficker?

How do you know all kinds of women?

Hearing Qin Ming's description, Yu Qiao Qiao looked at him warily, immediately branding him a "bad person."

Thus, Yu Qiao Qiao looked up at Chen Yan and whispered softly, "Chen Yan, let's go to the side. He's too noisy."

Chen Yan nodded, smiling, and followed Yu Qiao Qiao to the side.

The elevator arrived, and Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao got in; Qin Ming also followed in, sticking like glue.

Yu Qiao Qiao looked at him warily again and pulled Chen Yan to a corner.

Qin Ming, unconcerned with his thick skin, stood aside, then as if talking to the elevator door said, "Bro. What's your name? My name's Qin Ming. Qin as in the Qin dynasty, Ming as in 'tomorrow.'"

Chen Yan initially didn't want to respond, but hearing him speak, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you He Ruifeng's son from the Qin Island Administration? Why is your surname Qin?"

Qin Ming hadn't expected to slip up. He laughed awkwardly, "Actually... I'm not his son. I'm his nephew."

"But, I grew up in his house, and I only have one cousin. So he raised me like a son."

"I guess you could say it's not entirely incorrect."

Chen Yan just "oh"ed. He wasn't convinced. He suspected the person before him was just a con artist...

When they reached the 17th floor, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao got off, beginning their exploration of what was now their territory.

The entire 17th floor had been emptied, leaving office rooms and several workspaces.

Chen Yan walked through them, noticing a significant amount of dust had settled on the floor, and although the workspaces were fully renovated, they lacked furniture and office supplies.

This wasn't a bad thing because it gave Chen Yan another reason to invest funds into his film and television company.

Having viewed the 17th floor, Chen Yan then checked the 18th floor; it was similar to the 17th, luxuriously renovated but without furniture and appliances, needing a fresh setup.

The procurement cost for the game company would have to come out of his own pocket, though.

After accompanying Chen Yan through these two floors, Qin Ming gradually started to believe perhaps Chen Yan really had purchased these two floors.

After all, he remembered previous visits to Fenghua Building when every floor was bustling and crowded. These two floors being so empty was definitely unusual.

But then... that raised the question.

Just like last time when purchasing the Richard watch, if, as this man in front of him claimed, he really had bought Fenghua Building... then who exactly was he?
