Magic City!
Huanyu Group!
After signing documents while handling business, Ma Jun leaned back to rest for a moment and couldn't help but mutter: "As expected! Women's stuff just lacks a little something; my energy levels simply can't keep up now. It seems I need to find more carriers and cultivate them in advance! Otherwise, it won't be easy to manage at critical moments."
Although he was arrogant, he knew that it was the 21st century and the situation in the country was different; forced actions shouldn't be taken unless necessary. Therefore, to ensure his own safety, hospital resources were one aspect, but he also needed enough carriers. He had to cultivate those carriers so that, at critical moments, there would be people willing to save him.
Knock! Knock!
The secretary knocked on the door and entered to collect the documents:
"Chairman Ma!"
Ma Jun: "How is the information I asked you to investigate coming along..."
Secretary: "Huanyu Group has already gone through multiple rounds of recruitment and has conducted medical examinations for at least 10,000 people. Currently, there are six who preliminarily meet the criteria. These six still need further testing to determine if they truly qualify. I will keep following up!"
Ma Jun: "Hmm! Benefits and compensation are not an issue... I only have one requirement: make them feel grateful to me!"
Secretary: "Understood!"
After organizing the documents, he handed a file to Ma Jun: "Chairman Ma, this is the information that came from the Pu Region yesterday!"
Ma Jun looked at the content of the information; it was the situation on the cruise ship auction.
Secretary: "At this cruise ship auction, that Qin Jiang spent a huge sum to buy the bamboo slip recording the Longevity Technique of the Qin Dynasty. Chairman Ma! Do you think something is wrong with this Qin Jiang? Logically, someone of his age shouldn't be so yearning for longevity..."
"Could it be that he doesn't understand that anything an auction house puts up for auction definitely has no value?"
He highly suspected that there was something wrong with Qin Jiang's body.
It was hard not to be suspicious of a young big shot traveling thousands of miles to the Pu Region to auction a bamboo slip recording the Longevity Technique.
Ma Jun: "That is indeed possible... Send someone to Songjiang Hospital to investigate and see if his body has any issues."
Secretary: "Yes! Also, just received news: Qin Jiang and the others have already boarded a plane back to the mainland and will be transiting through Magic City..."
"The plane lands at about twelve o'clock!"
Ma Jun's eyes brightened slightly: "Finally back, are they! Good! Very good! Go contact Captain Yu immediately!"
"No! I will contact him personally..."
He took out his phone and called Captain Yu directly.
A moment later, he hung up and said with an icy expression: "Qin Jiang! No matter how arrogant you are, let's see how you can stir up trouble this time!"
...
Secretary: "Chairman Ma! Should we go and watch the spectacle?"
Ma Jun: "Go prepare the car! Let's go and meet him face-to-face!"
Secretary: "Yes!"
After the secretary left.
Ma Jun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a complex expression: "Qin Jiang, oh Qin Jiang! You really are an existence that no one can see through. How can you stumble upon every good thing?" Ever since this Qin Jiang headed to the Pu Region, he had sent people to keep a constant watch, knowing his every move like the back of his hand.
Befriending the Ning Family!
Destroying the top junket agent in the Pu Region!
Obtaining the third gambling license!
...
Every single one of these was an incredibly shocking event, yet all these things happened to one person, and even occurred within just two days.
How could one not be shocked?
Especially that gambling license; it was something countless forces dreamed of: billions in annual revenue, it was purely a golden goose that laid eggs. Even for Huanyu Group, it was a very important asset; obtaining it could increase the group's market value by at least hundreds of billions.
This was just the benefit on paper.
There were also countless invisible benefits: the tens of thousands of employees gained out of thin air, the economic contribution to the Pu Region, the expansion of the group's business scope, increasing the group's influence... and so on!
These benefits simply could not be measured by money!
But what was the result!
Qin Jiang obtained all this in just a few days of going to the Pu Region; it was enough to make people envious to the point of madness.
It could be said that as the news of Qin Jiang obtaining the gambling license spread back to the mainland, big shots from countless forces were incredibly regretful.
They regretted why they hadn't gone to the Pu Region at that time; perhaps if they had gone, that opportunity would have been theirs.
Regret!
Envy!
If they were like this, how much more so for Ma Jun, who already had a grudge against the Black Dragon Group; he hadn't slept all night.
He cursed Qin Jiang all night!
But he couldn't do anything about the other party!
Fortunately...
The opportunity had arrived!
He learned that Qin Jiang had developed a feud with the Zhou Family due to destroying Rong Xing and obtaining the gambling license, so he contacted the head of the Zhou Family.
The goal was simple:
To ensure Qin Jiang couldn't land directly in the North when he returned, and it would be even better if he landed in Magic City.
The Zhou Family had done it!
Ma Jun: "If you had returned directly to the North, I might not have had many ways to deal with you, but now... hehe... if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending the Zhou Family. Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined: when you obtained the gambling license, you had to accept the karma."
"This time, I want you to have no possibility of turning things around..."
"This time, I want you to know my, Ma Jun's, capabilities..."
"In the North, you are a big shot, but in Magic City... you won't make it..."
...
On the plane.
Qin Jiang looked at the scenery outside and frowned slightly.
Zhao Shanhe: "Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"
Qin Jiang: "Nothing!"
Ning Hua was full of excitement and would laugh every now and then: "Hehe... hehe..."
Si Jiu: "Why are you laughing like a big fool..."
Ning Hua: "Brother Si Jiu! I'm so happy, I'm so excited, I simply can't suppress myself. Do you know? My dad told me he wants to transfer a portion of the group's shares to me, and then, in the name of the Ning Family, directly propose marriage to the Leng Family for me!"
"Propose marriage? In the past, never mind proposing, they even obstructed my marriage and wanted to arrange a political marriage for me."
"Now I can finally be myself again..."
"Don't you think I have reason to be happy? I'm so excited right now that I want to jump up on the spot..."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Qin Jiang: "Brother Jiang! I know all of this is your credit. Without you! My family would never have given me shares or proposed marriage for me. Everything I have now was given by Brother Jiang... Brother Jiang! From now on, I am your most loyal little brother. Whether it's climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, just say the word, Brother Jiang."
He spoke with utmost sincerity.
Once upon a time, kneeling before Qin Jiang was completely a helpless act. Although Qin Jiang had helped him save face at the time, he still didn't feel that comfortable. When had he, the dignified Third Young Master of the Ning Family, ever been a lackey for someone else? This sentiment only slowly changed after Qin Jiang later sent people to help him pursue Leng Tong.
This time, when Qin Jiang came to the Pu Region, he originally thought it was his home turf and that he should fulfill the duties of a host.
He never expected that it would be Qin Jiang fighting for his face, letting him, the obscure Third Young Master in the Ning Family, leap to become a core descendant of the Ning Family, with shares, a say, and the right to choose his spouse... All of this was brought to him by Qin Jiang...
He was even glad that his kneeling back then had been seen by everyone, thus leading to him being taken in as a little brother by Qin Jiang.
At this moment:
He only wanted to say that he was Brother Jiang's most loyal little brother!
