Chapter 698: Chapter 689: Wang Xing Ecstatic

There’s a type of pain only men understand, and Shen Yi, that girl, hits really hard. Knowing she’s not as strong, she resorts to physical attacks.

Su Qing ended up not only not gaining the upper hand but getting beaten severely. Who knew Shen Yi had learned Monkey Fist from somewhere.

While others complain about being bored to death, he was genuinely in pain!

The next day, in a restaurant at East City University City.

"Hiss~~ ah~~~" Su Qing grimaced, clutching his stomach.

"What’s up, Qingzi? Got kidney stones?" Wang Xing sat across from him, smiling as he spoke.

Although he looked a bit tired, and his clothes weren’t as clean as usual, his spirit was exceptionally good, radiating excitement.

"No big deal, just got a little hurt!" Su Qing waved him off.

Wang Xing: "Hurt?"

"Yeah, got bitten by a mosquito!"

"Mosquito? You must be joking. It’s not mosquito season now!"

"I say there are, so there are. Why are you arguing? So, why do you have time to treat me to a meal today?" Su Qing glanced at him.

Last night, Shen Yi’s Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were all aimed at the vital spots, incredibly fast, flying up and down, even leaving afterimages. After the whole set, he was a wreck, seriously injured.

Not only did he suffer external injuries, but also internal ones. This morning, he felt cold in his hands and feet, weak limbs, aching waist and legs, and even his kidneys were throbbing painfully.

"Well, Du Qiang and I have been doing well lately, so we wanted to especially thank you. But Du Qiang’s over in Xining and couldn’t make it, so only I could treat this important patron. Order whatever you like, it’s on me today!"

"You’re treating? That’s great, waiter! Let’s order!"

"Hello, sir!"

"Start with two skewers of kidney, twenty oysters, sea cucumber, and a pot of soft-shelled turtle soup!"

Wang Xing: ...

Waiter: ...

"What are you staring at? These are what I’m ordering, sound good enough? You can handle the rest!"

Hearing this, Wang Xing gave him a meaningful look, ordered a few more things, and after the waiter left, he couldn’t help but laugh, "Dude, you seem a bit... drained? How about... trying some Liuwei Dihuang pills?"

"Get lost, I’m not drained, I’m just injured and need some nourishment!"

"Yeah, yeah, it counts as an injury, but the way that waiter looked at you wasn’t quite right, you know? Now that you’re a bit of a celebrity, you wouldn’t want rumors of a certain millionaire internet star being weak, right?

Goodness, you’re ordering kidneys, oysters, sea cucumber, turtle soup, Qingzi, seems like you’re really depleted this time, take care of yourself!"

Su Qing: ...

"Mind your own business, my health is great, you won’t get drained before I do! I’m genuinely injured and need some boosting!"

"Got it, got it, don’t worry. If it’s not enough, we can order more, my treat today."

Have to say, that’s Wang Xing for you, still cheeky, making you want to hit him.

Today being a Sunday, Shen Yi had a rare day off and was sleeping in at home, so Su Qing didn’t call her. As a boss, he had much less rest time than his employees.

After all, as a boss, there’s no such thing as a fixed holiday.

"So you’re saying you and Du Qiang are doing well over there?" Su Qing took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked.

At this moment, Wang Xing, although looking a bit haggard, with some dust on his clothes, was in very high spirits.

"Of course, with you backing us, Du Qiang and I have gotten to know Brother Qu and others a lot better recently. Du Qiang handles sourcing, while I’m here in Jiang City. After calculating, subtracting the transport costs and capital, we’re making quite a lot. The only downside is our capital isn’t much, so the discounts we get from suppliers aren’t great. But fortunately, Brother Qu helps us, so at least we don’t have to worry about final payments. We’ve made thirteen or fourteen thousand in this period."

Hearing this, Su Qing smiled. It hasn’t been long, yet they managed to achieve such results. Not bad, his efforts weren’t in vain.

However, although it seemed like they earned a lot, what’s left wasn’t much, since Du Qiang set up a small shop in Xining, which is all capital. But at least they didn’t lose money.

For some, making money is easy, for others, it’s hard. For Du Qiang and Wang Xing in this business, most people wouldn’t even have the connections, but once you have them, it’s much easier to make money.

As for how much profit they can get, that’s up to them to figure out; outsiders can’t help.

"Not bad, I’m part of this project too. From what I know, it should last at least a year. Work hard during this time, you might save up a decent sum, but remember, it’s not a long-term plan. Once the project finishes, that’s when the challenge begins for you two," Su Qing said.

How could he not know that Wang Xing and Du Qiang’s opportunity was given by Qu Hongfei on his behalf, and Wen Jingqi surely knows. Even if he hasn’t mentioned it, they definitely have a tacit understanding.

After all, Wen Jingqi is Qu Hongfei’s boss, how could this be kept from him?

"We’ll figure it out then. I’m planning to take the civil service exam this year, and as for Du Qiang, he’s so energetic now that I think he can manage.

After the exam, if I don’t pass, I won’t go to work anymore. If I don’t get in, I’ll partner with Du Qiang, and with the money saved, we won’t starve."

"As long as you have a plan. As for Du Qiang... if you have time, drive up to Xining to check on him. I’m worried that kid’s pushing himself too hard, he’s already so thin, even a strong man can’t keep up like that," Su Qing said, thinking of Du Qiang.

"Alright, I’ll visit when I have time."

"Not just him, you too, be careful. You haven’t been in great shape lately either. Money isn’t everything. Don’t work yourself to death!" Su Qing said, looking at Wang Xing.

[Wang Xing has been in a state of excitement recently, and with his own job, his energy is limited. He’s almost at his limit, showing signs of mild nervous exhaustion, being obviously tired but unable to sleep. He’s getting less than four hours of sleep a night.]

The narration notes Wang Xing’s current state wasn’t great.

In fact, he’d been through this too, last October, when he started borrowing money to trade stocks, he went through a few days like this.

Even though his body was exhausted, and he was tired, he was too excited to sleep. It wasn’t until Shen Yi noticed his condition and made him drink till he passed out.

Simply put, he was getting dizzy with money, red-eyed from the excitement.

"I know, but I just want to marry Miaomiao this year!"

Su Qing: "You’re also getting married this year?"

Wang Xing: "Why did you say also?"
