Chapter 175: Chapter 175

Ning Xiaoyue was taken aback.

The man on the rooftop quickly said, "Young Master Feng, I’m not selling this girl!"

Feng Tianming chuckled, "Who said I wanted to buy? I meant that when your company goes bankrupt, she can come to find me."

Upon hearing this, the man on the rooftop turned from despair to anger. It seemed that Feng Tianming definitely wouldn’t help him.

"Your Feng Family must really want to push me to death! Even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!" the man angrily said.

In his grief and despair, he looked ready to jump off the building.

At that moment, a voice rang out.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.

"Boss, I’m Xiaoyue’s friend. I want to say something: it’s better to live shamelessly than to die valiantly. Why seek a dead end?" Lin Fan said.

The man on the rooftop looked at Lin Fan and suddenly said, "Lin Fan, are you Lin Fan?"

Lin Fan was stunned. He hadn’t introduced himself yet, so how did this person recognize him?

Lin Fan said, "Do you know me?"

The man on the rooftop said joyfully, "Brother Fan, it’s me, Wang Xiangqian. Don’t you remember me?"

Lin Fan’s best buddy from middle school!

Later, Wang Xiangqian moved away and never contacted Lin Fan again.

Unexpectedly, they would meet again here!

With the help of the lights, Lin Fan managed to recognize him.

"Old Wang, it’s really you. Come down and we’ll talk," Lin Fan said.

"Brother Fan, wait for me. I’ll come down immediately!"

Wang Xiangqian said, deciding he didn’t want to die anymore upon seeing Lin Fan, and he hurriedly turned back.

The onlookers, seeing that there was nothing more to watch, gradually dispersed. Some who wanted to see the jump left, cursing as they went.

Feng Tianming looked at Lin Fan with cold eyes: "Lin Fan!"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "What, are you still looking for a fight with me?"

Recalling Lin Fan’s ruthlessness from the previous night, when he crippled Muay Thai Li San with one kick, Feng Tianming shivered a bit and felt like slipping away.

Wang Xiangqian excitedly ran down and stood in front of Lin Fan.

"Brother Fan, it really is you. It’s so good to see you!" Wang Xiangqian exclaimed joyfully.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Yes, we haven’t seen each other in many years, have we?"

Wang Xiangqian said, "Yes, that year my whole family moved, and I lost contact with you, Brother Fan. I never expected to see you again tonight, just before I was about to die!"

Lin Fan asked, "Old Wang, how did it get to the point where you wanted to commit suicide?"

Wang Xiangqian sighed deeply, "This is a long story..."

As it turned out, Wang Xiangqian was currently running an entertainment company, recruiting a group of girls to form a trainee girl group.

Unfortunately, the market was sluggish, and the company had been losing money, almost unable to operate any longer. He had to search everywhere for investment.

Initially, the Feng Family promised to invest. The Feng Family was a big player in Yun City, with a wide range of industries, including entertainment. With their investment, Wang Xiangqian’s company had hope of a turnaround.

However, today Feng Tianming suddenly came to say that the Feng Family had decided not to invest in his company anymore.

Wang Xiangqian became anxious and resorted to threatening with his own life.

He really didn’t want to lose, because if he lost again, he would be left with nothing. He couldn’t afford to lose.

But Feng Tianming didn’t care about him at all. If Lin Fan hadn’t appeared, Wang Xiangqian would have already jumped to his death.

Lin Fan curiously asked, "Young Master Feng, why is your Feng Family going back on its word?"

Feng Tianming snorted coldly, "Isn’t it simple? Why invest in a company with no future? Nobody’s money comes from thin air!"

Lin Fan uttered an ’oh’, "Really? Old Wang, how much did the Feng Family initially promise to invest?"

Wang Xiangqian said, "20 million."

Lin Fan uttered another ’oh’. This amount of money wasn’t much to him now.

"Old Wang, if you don’t mind me saying, do you really think it’s necessary to continue running this company?" Lin Fan asked.

Wang Xiangqian said, "This is my life’s work and my last chance to turn things around. I’ve poured all my assets into it, that’s one reason. Another reason I haven’t given up is because there’s still hope, and I want to give it a try. It’s not just for myself, but also for these girls under me."

Lin Fan uttered an ’oh’, "What hope?"

Wang Xiangqian said, "There’s a big national talent show coming up soon, and several girls from my company, including Xiaoyue, have been selected to participate. This is our last stand."

Lin Fan said, "If I’m not mistaken, the Feng Family initially agreed to invest because of this, right? Then why did they go back on it?"

Feng Tianming chuckled, "Because I’ve taken a liking to another more promising company and decided to switch our investment to them."

Wang Xiangqian said, "Without the investment, we’ll have to withdraw from the competition, and then there will be no hope."

Lin Fan looked at Ning Xiaoyue, seeing her head down and her emotions somewhat low.

"Xiaoyue, is there anything you want to say?" Lin Fan said.

Ning Xiaoyue said, "My family is poor. I went out to work right after I graduated from middle school. Without an education, all the jobs are mediocre. It took a lot of effort to get a chance to become a trainee. If the company goes bankrupt, I can only go back to doing odd jobs again."

Wang Xiangqian said, "Xiaoyue has great potential. During our group’s audition, she was the most popular. It would really be a shame to give up ."

Lin Fan nodded, "I also have high hopes for Xiaoyue. Here’s what, I’ll provide the 20 million."

Wang Xiangqian couldn’t believe it, "Brother Fan, what did you say? You’re going to invest? Are you that well-off now?"

Lin Fan said, "That’s right. But this money isn’t for nothing. I need to see a return."

Wang Xiangqian was overjoyed and fell to his knees, tears of gratitude streaming down as he raised his head, "Brother Fan, you’re my savior!"

Lin Fan felt a bit embarrassed and quickly helped him up.

Wang Xiangqian said, "Brother Fan, since you’re willing to invest, the company will be yours from now on. You’ll be the major shareholder, and I’ll work under you."

Lin Fan smiled, "I’m not familiar with the business, so you’ll still need to manage the daily operations."

Wang Xiangqian laughed, "Of course, Brother Fan pitches in with the money, and I’ll handle the work! Xiaoyue, aren’t you going to thank Brother Fan?"

Ning Xiaoyue was also delighted, "Thank you, Brother Lin."

Lin Fan said, "Xiaoyue, do your best. I hope you perform well."

Ning Xiaoyue said, "I will try my best."

Lin Fan said, "Old Wang, after you’ve sorted out the paperwork and such, just let me know to transfer the money."

Wang Xiangqian said, "Okay."

He was too overwhelmed. Initially, he was so desperate he almost jumped off the building, but then he met his benefactor. Brother Fan truly was his great benefactor in this life.

Lin Fan felt a bit emotional. Twenty million saved a company and also saved Old Wang’s life. If he didn’t have the money, he might have just been able to drink with Old Wang to drown their sorrows.

To be honest, with his current wealth, 20 million was nothing. He spent 100 million buying Blue Moon and 3 billion buying Yunding Manor, a small amount compared to a huge one.

So even if this money was lost, Lin Fan wouldn’t be heartbroken.

One has to admit, having money feels great!

But Feng Tianming sneered from the side, "Lin Fan, your judgment is too poor. Their company is not worth investing in at all. You might as well use your money to find a few more girls."

Lin Fan chuckled, "Is that so? Then how about we make a bet? My girl group versus your girl group, let’s see which one is better."

Feng Tianming became interested, "Since you want to embarrass yourself, I have no reason not to oblige. A bet it is, then. What’s the wager?"
