The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

After hesitating for a moment, I shook the hand that the slightly chubby man in front of me had warmly extended.

It's very greasy.

They parted ways immediately and took their seats separately.

Wu Xiuyan apologized and left the private room to serve the dishes.

Let them talk alone.

"I am Kim Sung-hyun. I am in the same industry as President Oh. Our venues are not far apart. President Jung, please take care of me in the future."

Kim Sung-hyun, with a smile on his face, took the lead in introducing himself.

However, what he meant was that he knew about the relationship between Ding Xin and Wu Xiuyan.

Ding Xin nodded, indicating that he understood.

Without saying a word, he simply picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

He was simply too lazy to exchange pleasantries.

He didn't even need to introduce himself; they had already arranged for someone to meet him. How could he not know who Ding Xin was?

That's ridiculous.

Kim Sung-hyun didn't mind at all, and just smiled and picked up his teacup, taking a sip.

The private room fell silent immediately.

"I heard you're a judo professor at Beijing Forestry University?"

As he spoke, Ding Xin took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Kim Sung-hyun immediately took out a lighter, lit it for him, and said with a smile, "What professor? He's just a figurehead."

"A nominal appointment?" Ding Xin raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I had my glory days when I was young. I won an international judo gold medal and was given an honorary title at Beijing Forestry University. I'm usually busy with my own things."

After a pause, Kim Sung-hyun became polite again: "Please forgive me for this abrupt invitation..."

Ding Xin waved his hand, exhaled a puff of smoke, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I can't stand all that formality. Be casual. What do you want to see me about?"

Kim Sung-hyun chuckled twice and then fell silent.

It's like organizing your thoughts.

Ding Xin didn't rush him, but instead leisurely observed Professor Jin, trying to figure out who he was.

The characters are very familiar; I often saw them on screen when watching Korean movies in my past life.

This is also what troubles Ding Xin the most.

I've watched so many South Korean movies in my past life, and many famous actors appear repeatedly.

This also meant that he couldn't determine which movie it was based on the face alone.

As for judging through the system...

Sorry, the system didn't provide any notification.

This is also to be expected.

Just like Ding Qing and Li Zicheng before, they are clearly characters in the movie "New World".

However, the system has not yet indicated that any plot has been detected.

Ding Xin did have some of his own guesses.

If the movie's plot hasn't officially started yet, the system won't give any reminders or issue any tasks.

So it's very likely that the Professor Jin in front of you is also a character from a movie, but the plot hasn't officially started yet.

Therefore, Ding Xin could only try to find out if it was the movie he remembered through subsequent interactions...

Chapter 65: Another Case of Giving Away Money

"I heard that President Ding and President Wu are cooperating by exchanging shares, is that right?" Kim Sung-hyun asked tentatively.

Ding Xin glanced at him indifferently and nodded.

This is no secret; the original purpose of collaborating with Wu Xiuyan was to thwart the covetousness of the Fuqing faction.

Of course, we have to let the news out.

Although the statement only announced the news of the collaboration between the two, it did not reveal the specific details of the collaboration.

However, this couldn't escape the inquiries of those who were interested, since it wasn't exactly a trade secret.

Seeing Ding Xin's calm expression, Jin Chengxian's spirits lifted somewhat.

At least Ding Xin's attitude shows that he was not particularly averse to Ding Xin inquiring about the two of them.

This is a good beginning.

"I wonder if President Ding is interested in these small businesses I own?"

Ding Xin was delighted upon hearing this.

How?

Are they here to give away money again?

Ding Xin finally mustered some enthusiasm and asked, "So what if I'm interested? So what if I'm not?"

Kim Sung-hyun pondered for a moment and said carefully, "Although my businesses are not as good as President Wu's, the profits are still quite considerable."

What he said was true.

His massage parlors are actually quite old; both their interior decoration and operating area are only average.

Of course, it can't compare to Wu Xiuyan's group.

But who can blame him for having such a good location for his massage parlor?

Seocho-gu is a well-known affluent area in Seoul. Even an ordinary shop there will generate significantly higher profits compared to those in poorer areas.

"If President Ding is interested, I am willing to cross-share with President Ding in the same way and operate the business together. What do you think?"

After a pause, Kim Sung-hyun added, "I came with sincerity!"

Ding Xin raised his eyebrows, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and laughed, "What sincerity? Tell me."

Is this what it means to be interested?

Kim Sung-hyun perked up and hurriedly explained, "I own a total of 4 massage parlors and 3 hotels in Seocho and Dongjak districts of Seoul, with a monthly profit of at least 4 million won."

He then held up three fingers: "I am willing to give up 30% of it to exchange for the same proportion of industrial shares with President Ding."

"Of course, we don't need to exchange the ones from Jiangnan; we only need the ones from the Gali Peak side."

laugh!

I want to eat fart!

Ding Xin immediately lost interest.

It turns out he wasn't there to give money; it was his mother who wanted to take advantage of him.

The venues at Garibong Cave don't seem to be generating much revenue right now, but there are plans for their future.

Wu Xiuyan's plan is all ready.

It was about to start, but because of Ding Qing's situation, we're temporarily putting it on hold because we don't have the money right now.

Once we have the money, we'll start immediately.

According to Wu Xiuyan, once things are back on track, revenue will increase by at least 30%.

Isn't it obvious that we'll be at a disadvantage if we exchange shares with Kim Sung-hyun now?

Kim Sung-hyun felt a bit nervous at this moment, since the man in front of him didn't give any reaction after he finished speaking.

No, his reaction was written all over his face; he looked very disgusted...

Kim Sung-hyun suddenly realized.

This is unsatisfactory!

Gritting his teeth, he could only come up with his own alternative plan.

"If President Ding is not satisfied with this plan, how about we change to another cooperation method? Would that be acceptable to you?"

“That way we won’t need to cross-shareholdings. I’ll give you 20% of my own assets, Mr. Ding.”

If Kim Sung-hyun's previous mention of cross-shareholding was a form of cooperation, then the cooperation method he mentioned later was simply a different kind of protection fee.

Oh? Giving away money for free?

This is interesting!

Ding Xin straightened up, a half-smile on his face, and said, "What, you're planning to give me money for free? Is there really such a good thing?"

Kim Sung-hyun chuckled twice: "It's just to make friends with President Ding, after all, we hit it off immediately..."

It was like meeting an old friend at first sight!
