Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 133 Just Keep Winning

Bi Guifen followed Ning Bishu out cautiously, and soon after, she followed him back into the shop. Upon entering this somewhat opulently decorated place, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

But Ning Bishu insisted on making her get used to this environment. Practice makes perfect, she wasn't worried about not being able to adapt. The real fear was that one day two people might meet and, before one could even speak, the other would already be bowing their head.

"This, this, this, this..."

"Sir, there are two of you, you can't eat this much."

"three people."

"Even three people can't finish it."

"Take away any leftovers."

Ning Bishu smiled faintly and handed the menu back to the waiter.

The waiter naturally had no objection. Judging from Ning Bishu's choice of dishes without considering the price or his demeanor, he was clearly not an ordinary nouveau riche.

As for the "old woman" next to her with a full head of white hair, a bitter face, and cheap clothes...

The waiter thought to himself, "It must be that the grandson is taking his grandmother out to show filial piety, and the old lady is worried about spending money."

This nouveau riche is actually a very nice person.

After the door to the private room closed, Ning Bishu poured Bi Guifen a cup of tea and said, "Mom, it seems like our family has never eaten at a hotel before, has it?"

Bi Guifen thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, it's only during Chinese New Year or someone's wedding that the whole family goes to a hotel for dinner. I haven't gone out for Chinese New Year in the past two years..."

She was referring to the fact that every year during the Lunar New Year, Ning Guorong and Ning Xiaohong would invite the whole family out for a meal and a New Year's Eve dinner. However, in the two years since Ning Guoqiang became paralyzed, she hasn't gone anymore. On the one hand, she used the excuse of taking care of Ning Guoqiang, and on the other hand, she felt that she couldn't hold her head up in public, so she simply didn't eat the meal.

Ning Bishu, on the other hand, is shameless. He rarely eats a good meal throughout the year, but during the Spring Festival, he would rather be shameless than let his mouth down. He eats every meal he is entitled to and never gives red envelopes to his elders!
The main idea is to eat and drink freely, and even take the leftovers home.

As for the cost, it's nothing more than having his tablemates ask him about his job, income, and whether he's found a girlfriend, providing some emotional value for everyone—but in the last two years, basically no one asks him anymore.

Seeing that he was hopeless and had no future, people went from asking him a question they already knew the answer to feeling sorry for him.

Who could have imagined...?

In the blink of an eye, this guy started cheating!

The uncles and great-uncles of Ning Bishu's grandmother's hometown in the past two days have been regretting it to the core. If they had known earlier, they would have introduced Ning Bishu to a vocational school girl who was working. Then, Ning Bishu's two hundred million would have been everyone's two hundred million.

But it was too late to regret it.

Besides, who the hell could have predicted such an incredible all-in bet?
Even Ning Bishu himself could only say...

“Mom, this is fate. It’s destiny that you can only enjoy the blessings of the second half of your life!” Ning Bishu patted Bi Guifen’s hand.

Bi Guifen looked at her son, her eyes filled with indescribable excitement.

After hardship comes happiness...

And it came so suddenly!
She was not prepared at all.

"From now on, you can eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want, as long as it's not airplanes, cannons, aircraft carriers, or acquiring other companies. Just tell me what you want, and if you don't have enough money, just ask me for more."

"Stop talking nonsense, what airplanes and cannons..." Bi Guifen was both laughing and crying. Her heartfelt gratitude was overwhelmed by Ning Bishu's rambling and she could no longer cry. She just nodded and said, "If you're really that rich, of course I'll live a good life! I'll eat delicious food every day, buy new clothes every year, and what's that house you mentioned? Where is it? What's it called, Garden?"

"Wangfu Jinxiu Jiayuan is located on XX Road."

"XX Road?"

Bi Guifen looked blankly at him. Her life had been confined to her own neighborhood for years. She had never even heard of the place Ning Bishu was talking about, let alone knew it.

However, after Ning Bishu explained it again, she immediately understood.

“It’s in the same neighborhood as my son, Ah Rong,” Ning Bishu said with a smile. “My third uncle bought a house in building 12, and I bought one for you in building 16. You’ll be next-door neighbors from now on!”

"Why are you buying with him?" Bi Guifen asked unhappily.

Ning Bishu laughed and said, "When he bought it, the same size and layout cost over 900 million, almost 1000 million. The one I bought for you only cost 400 million now. You know, from now on, when you go downstairs for a walk after dinner every day, he and his third aunt will also come down for a walk. Hey, every time he sees you, he'll be thinking, 'Damn it, I lost 600 million on this house, damn it, I lost 600 million on this house!' Mom, do you think he'll be angry?"

Bi Guifen couldn't help herself and patted Ning Bishu with a laugh, "How could you be so naughty!"

Now he was truly in a good mood, gloating.

"Who's bad?" Huang Qingqing walked in from outside the private room.

She was also holding her daughter.

As soon as they entered, Huang Qingqing greeted them warmly, telling her daughter to greet them: "Doubao, look, this is your uncle, and this is your great-aunt."

The little child opened his big eyes and called out obediently in a childish voice, "Daddy, Grandma."

"Oh, not Dad, it's Uncle!" Huang Qingqing corrected him with a grin, and as she sat down, her eyes lit up as she asked Ning Bishu, "Brother Bishu, did you just get back today? Did you finish everything outside?"

Ning Bishu nodded.

Huang Qingqing added, "Wow, you're amazing now! I saw you have over 200 million followers on Weibo. With all this social attention, it's like you've suddenly become a social celebrity."

"I wouldn't call myself a celebrity, just a lousy internet celebrity," Ning Bishu said modestly.

Outside, the waiters lined up and brought in their plates.

Several cold dishes were quickly served, followed by two hot dishes.

"Okay, let's eat." Ning Bishu wasn't in a hurry to talk to Huang Qingqing.

Huang Qingqing also clearly held back, refraining from asking about the extent of Ning Bishu's overnight wealth—mainly because Ning Bishu's assets are now basically transparent and public online.

Everyone on the internet knows that he made a fortune by ripping off 200 million yuan of retail investors in the A-share market with a single, effortless scheme.

"Aunt, you've worked so hard, so very hard. These past few years haven't been easy..."

Huang Qingqing didn't serve food to the child first, but instead put food in Bi Guifen's bowl first. She had helped Ning Bishu's family a few days ago and had interacted with Bi Guifen a few times, so sitting together now, she didn't feel too unfamiliar with her.

Bi Guifen thanked her, and Huang Qingqing turned around and asked Ning Bishu with a smile, "Brother Bishu, you called me for your first meal back. Is there something important you need to tell me?"

Ning Bishu didn't dawdle. He picked up a fried lobster ball from the cold dish, chewed it, poured himself some red wine, and slowly said, "It's nothing important. I just bought a house in Wangfu Jinxiu Jiayuan, next to my third uncle's house. The house doesn't have any furniture yet, so I was wondering if you'd be free tomorrow to go with my mom to buy some furniture so we can make do for now."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise. "Why did you buy over there? The price has plummeted!"

"The environment is nice and quiet," Ning Bishu replied casually.

Huang Qingqing quickly asked again, "How much did you pay for it?"

"400."

Ning Bishu held up two fingers, which startled Huang Qingqing. He then added, "400 million per unit, two units, one upstairs and one downstairs."

Bi Guifen was stunned. "Why are you buying two sets?"

Ning Bishu didn't hide anything and said calmly, "The other set is for a friend. Qingqing, when you buy furniture tomorrow, just buy two sets. Seat 16, A05, is for my friend, and A06 is for my mom. I'll give you the keys, and you can set up both of them together."

"no……"

Huang Qingqing was confused. "Brother, what kind of friend are you? You're buying a house for him? Don't let him scam you!"

"Whether she's lying or not is none of your concern," Ning Bishu said calmly. "This friend of mine is my lawyer. She's currently handling 315 cases for me. Tomorrow, she's going to the X Prefecture Public Security Bureau to gather some information. She's very busy, and so am I. On Sunday and the day after, I'm going back to Beijing with her to take care of another matter."

Huang Qingqing was stunned. "That doesn't warrant giving them 400 million... Are you that busy right now?"

"if not?"

Ning Bishu smiled and said, "How many assets, properties, and ownership rights do you, as a street office, have to manage? How many people do you have? Of course, my current capital can't compare to that of a street office, but I'm just one person, so isn't it normal for me to be busy?"

"I know you're rich..." Huang Qingqing said with a conflicted expression, "but isn't this a bit too extravagant?"

"That's right!"

Bi Guifen chimed in, "A-Shu, what kind of friend are you? You just gave him a house like that!" "Don't ask about these things. I have my own reasons."

Ning Bishu didn't want to delve into Mu Shanming's affairs. If he insisted on revealing something, he figured it wouldn't be too late to get the child out first. So he simply changed the subject, saying, "And about Tao Tao, I need to buy her a house in a while. Her family's house project is abandoned, and they're still renting. I plan to get engaged to her after she graduates."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qingqing immediately perked up.

He made a fortune and started keeping a high school girl as a mistress...

This man is really...

“Brother Bi, it seems like you're under a lot of financial pressure!” Huang Qingqing hit the nail on the head.

"It's alright," Ning Bishu said. "It's not a huge problem, but it's not a small one either. As for my dad, we're planning to move him to a different nursing home. I'm also thinking of finding someone to do some rehabilitation for him, to see if we can still try to save him. As for Tao Tao's family, they're not in a rush. She's still young, and she seems to be a few years away from the legal age for marriage. If she gets pregnant in the meantime, the expenses might be a bit higher."

So, if you calculate it that way, my parents together spend about a million yuan a year, Tao Tao and I spend about a million yuan a year, and Tao Tao's parents give us about four or five hundred thousand yuan a year, which should be enough. All in all… that's about it.”

Huang Qingqing smiled and said, "You've thought of everything."

Ning Bishu said, "Men can't help it."

Bi Guifen quickly interjected, asking, "A-Shu, can your dad still stand up?"

"I don't know, let's give it a try first," Ning Bishu said.

Huang Qingqing then asked, "So you're just spending money like this, don't you plan to do any business?" Ning Bishu immediately retorted, "There are only a few people in my family. Do you think I can eat my fill for a lifetime with the money I have right now?"

"Of course we can't finish eating..." Huang Qingqing had already calculated Ning Bishu's deposit interest, but she still couldn't help asking, "But are you really planning to just lie around like this from now on? Eating and drinking every day, waiting for... you know?"

Ning Bishu asked with a smile, "Then do you have a better suggestion?"

Huang Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "At least find something to do, like some small investment or small business..."

Ning Bishu casually asked, "Do you have any projects you'd like to recommend to me?"

"Of course I didn't..."

Huang Qingqing quickly tried to distance herself, but after a brief pause, a hint of expectation appeared on her face, her eyes gleaming, and she whispered, "But if you really want to make any investments, I can actually help you a bit."

There is still an entire floor of office space that is vacant in our neighborhood.

If you're thinking of starting a business, you can use this floor for free. It's 1200 square meters; you just need to pay a small monthly property management fee. It's on Binjiang Road, in the Kang'an Building!

Huang Qingqing poured out everything she wanted to say in one breath.

Ning Bishu chuckled and asked, "Director Huang, I think you had already planned to tell me this as soon as you left the house today, right?"

Huang Qingqing dropped the pretense and laid it all out: "The city has to attract investment every year, assigning quotas down the chain of command. Our street was allocated 3000 million this year. You know the current economic situation; half the office buildings along Binjiang Road are empty. People are leaving. Forget about attracting investment; we'd be lucky to even keep our staff. Brother Bi Shu, this is really tough for me…!"
Every morning when I comb my hair, clumps of it fall out! This year's hardest job has been this business development target. Getting any money out of those business owners is harder than climbing Mount Everest now!

"What about your dad? Isn't he going to ask Professor Huang for help?"

"He can't do anything about it. He can't exactly open some kind of research institute for me in the neighborhood, can he? Besides, he can't do it. He doesn't have the power or resources you think he does." Huang Qingqing said, looking annoyed.

Ning Bishu then asked with a smile, "How much were you assigned?"

"I'm alright, but I was only allocated 150 million..."

Huang Qingqing sighed, "Brother Bi Shu, why don't you open any kind of shop? You can open a restaurant, a board game shop, an escape room, a gym, a beauty salon, anything! After you register, you can run it for six months, then go bankrupt and run away, just to help me out..."

Ning Bishu looked at Huang Qingqing's pleading eyes.

In my heart, I didn't think that 150 million was excessive at all.

only……

"As for a company, I'm actually thinking of registering one," Ning Bishu said casually.

Huang Qingqing's eyes lit up immediately. "Great! When do you plan to register?"

Ning Bishu then slowly said, "But right now, there aren't any good projects. I don't think it's appropriate to just start a company on a whim and throw money down the drain. How about this, you keep an eye out for me, and if there are any projects in the coming period that I can lend a hand with, then you can let me know. As long as the project is suitable, I will definitely help you. What do you think?"

Huang Qingqing looked at Ning Bishu, and the excitement on her face faded away.

If there were any suitable and reliable projects, they would have been snapped up long ago.

Would it even be your turn?

Huang Qingqing was unwilling to give up on the funds for Ke Ningbishu so easily. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and nodded reluctantly, "Okay, then I'll take a look for you first."

Ning Bishu smiled and said, "Take your time with this, don't rush. I will definitely keep my word. But what's most important to me is that I hope you, as the local official, can take better care of my parents in the future. I won't necessarily be in X Prefecture every day. My daughter Tao Tao is studying in Nanjing, and I plan to go there first to spend some time with her."

Huang Qingqing said, "Don't worry, they are my own uncle and aunt, how could I not take care of them? Aunt, don't you think so?"

Bi Guifen grinned, thinking to herself, "You've been here for two years and still haven't gotten my family the minimum living allowance."

If you say so, then so be it...

"Ah Shu, when are you going to bring Tao Tao back so I can see her?"

Bi Guifen was still more interested in her daughter-in-law.

"Let's wait until summer vacation..." Ning Bishu said.

The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Several waiters then carried dishes into the private room.

Three other people followed behind the waiter.

Huang Daoxian, Ning Xiaohong, and Qi Zihao arrived unexpectedly.

Huang Qingqing must have sent them a message before she came.

As soon as Qi Zihao entered the door, without caring whether he knew her or not, he called out to Bi Guifen, "Auntie!" Turning around, he bent down and shook Ning Bishu's hand, smiling warmly as he said, "Brother Bishu, it's been so long!"

Ning Bishu couldn't help but admire his cousin-in-law. He'd only had a brief, less than two-second toast with Qi Zihao at Huang Qingqing's wedding over two years ago. He hadn't expected this guy to act so familiar upon meeting him.

However, Ning Bishu still gave Qi, the section chief, face.

He smiled and casually replied, "Long time no see."

She turned around and said to her aunt Ning Xiaohong and uncle Huang Daoxian, "Second Aunt, Second Uncle, why are you here too? I think I only called Qingqing."

"Of course I came here specifically to see you! I called Qingqing, but I didn't even invite me to have dinner with you!" Dean Ning complained frankly to Ning Bishu, then sat down opposite Ning Bishu and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, saying in a condescending tone, "It's different now, it really is different. Look at this man, once his career takes off, his whole demeanor changes."

Ning Bishu did not react to Ning Xiaohong's sarcastic remarks.

He didn't respond to that, nor did he pay any attention to him. Instead, he turned his head and exchanged a glance with Huang Daoxian.

Huang Daoxian had met Ning Bishu more than ten times before, and most of the time they sat at the same table.

However, the two of them had never exchanged more than ten sentences in total when they were face to face.

Even if they met on the street, neither of them would remember or recognize the other.

But at this moment, they were quite in sync when faced with Ning Xiaohong's words.

They exchanged a faint smile without prior arrangement.

It's a deep understanding of women that comes from a man who has had successful experiences.

All you need to do is win.

As long as you keep winning, they will love you forever.

I will always praise you.

They'll always give you a nice look.
