At this time, Ren HongDe’s cell phone rang. He was the chairman of Qing Zi Education Group, so he was naturally always busy.
When he went aside to answer the phone, I thought carefully about his proposal.
I don’t have to unilaterally surrender to Ai ShuQiao, he would step in and negotiate with Ai ShuQiao and use the shares of Qing Zi Education Group as leverage.
Would Ai ShuQiao agree to give up her custody of Ai Mi and me (i.e. stop manipulating and playing with us)?
“Ai ShuQiao doesn’t want to limit herself to being only an entertainment management company. She sold her financial company during the subprime mortgage crisis and decisively switched careers, so if the entertainment business enters a slump, she will also immediately change course.”
Ren HongDe helped me a.n.a.lyze the possibility of Ai ShuQiao agreeing to our terms.
“It’s rumored that her medical department is so large that she might get involved in pharmaceuticals next, there are even rumors that she is in contact with Russian arms dealers…”
d.a.m.n… pharmaceuticals and firearms are both two very profitable industries. If you’re already planning on entering those industries, why do you still force Ai Mi to work every day? I don’t think you’re lacking in the small amount of money Ai Mi earns. Maybe it’s because Ai Mi spends too much money, so you want her to support herself?
“Ai ShuQiao is also very interested in all the private schools that have sprung up all over China, so I think that the possibility of her accepting the group’s shares and letting go of you two siblings is very high.”
I think Ren HongDe was a little too optimistic.
He was looking at Ai ShuQiao with the eyes of a “businessman” and “capitalist”, but he ignored the part of Ai ShuQiao that “does as she pleases”.
The only thing that matters to Ai ShuQiao in this world was her “interest” which can change at any time. If she hasn’t lost interest in Ai Mi and me, then she won’t give us freedom.
But in the current situation, it’s still worth a try.
In case the toxin in my body can not be dispelled, then in a few days, I will vomit blood and die. At that time, Ren HongDe’s negotiations is the last chance to save my sister.
At least let Ai Mi be free from Ai ShuQiao’s control! Let her live the life a 12-year-old girl should live, at least let her away from all the lolicons and perverts!
Ren HongDe told me to get well first. He will go back to review the situation of the group, once the information is ready, then he would try to contact Ai ShuQiao.
Then he went to look for his own father, gramps Ren, and Xiao Qin. The three of them entered the hospital again, I’m not sure what they were going to say to Auntie Ren.
“Cousin, I have a very important question…”
Winnie said to Ren Peng, who was standing across from her.
“Since your father is the chairman of such a large group, then are you richer, or…” she pointed to Ai Mi, “or is Miss Ai Mi richer?”
“I told you several times, I’m not your cousin.”
“Don’t be like that~” Winnie had $ signs in both her eyes and pulled Ren Peng’s arm, “Rich man, it’s not like you will lose anything by being my cousin…”
Winnie, that’s enough, don’t learn how to act cute from Xiao Qin. If you really want to get close to a rich person, you should never mention money. If the first thing you ask is who’s richer between Ren Peng and Ai Mi, then everyone would know your intentions!
Since Ren Peng was in college, the 14-year-old Winnie and 12-year-old Ai Mi were the same to him, they were both lolis and neither of them fell in his strike zone since he was not a lolicon.
It seems that once when Ren Peng was playing LOL, he said that the game’s mature heroine, LeBlanc, was the object of his heart.
Winnie kept pestering him, Ren Peng looked at Ai Mi who was “jealous” and sighed.
“If I had money, why wouldn’t I just organize my own team, instead of suffering here.”
“Although I do get a bit more allowance than my university cla.s.smates, but if I don’t get enough credits, a large part of it would get deducted! I failed too many subjects in my freshman year, so there was a period of time I had to borrow money from cla.s.smates to eat!”
“Tsk, I thought you were a rich kid, but it turns out you’re a poor loser like me.” Winnie immediately stopped acting cute with Ren Peng, “A waste of my feelings.”
“Hey.” Ren Peng was dissatisfied, “You just called me cousin, can you stop changing faces so fast?”
“Shoo.” Winnie made a shooing action towards Ren Peng, “You have no money, so who would recognize you as their cousin.”
She said as she went over to grab Ai Mi’s arm and say with devotion, “Miss Ai Mi is still the best.”
Ai Mi heard that although Ren Peng was a rich kid, but because of his father’s strict control, money was very tight. She turned her eyes and asked like she was a leader:
“Ren Peng, I heard that since you joined the team, you have never taken the monthly salary of ¥5,000.”
“Yes.” Ren Peng replied with a proud look.
“So you still don’t want to take it now?” A very evil smile appeared at the corner of Ai Mi’s mouth.
“I… I don’t want it.” Ren Peng gritted his teeth and said, “I didn’t join the team for money…”
I can see that Ren Peng slightly regretted it. When he first joined the team, he refused the generous salary to put on airs and only took the duties of the captain.
He was addicted to gaming all day long, so I’m afraid that he also failed several exams in his second year. I don’t know how much will be deducted from his allowance now.
The more Ren Peng was in a predicament, the more pleased Ai Mi became. She shook her left index finger in front of her nose.
“It would be stupid not to take the money. Besides, you’re the captain of my team, so you would be considered my employee. If other people found out my employees had to borrow money to eat, I would be humiliated.”
“Then, then what do you want.” Ren Peng asked with a red face.
“Hehe…” Ai Mi did not return a good-natured smile, “Remember Peng TouSi once said that if our team, like other professional teams, also manages to get advertising revenue and tournament prizes, it will be split with the players…”
“So, Ren Peng, you just need to work hard to bring the team to a professional level to partic.i.p.ate in professional compet.i.tions. Then you get a share of the tournament prize money, you would also get a share of the advertising endors.e.m.e.nt fees.”
Ai Mi said as if it was something that would happen soon.
Ren Peng’s face darkened, “Do we also need to take you to the professional compet.i.tion?”
“Of course.” Ai Mi said, “That’s the whole point for the existence of the ‘Golden Lightning’ team.”
She said as she touched her twin ponytails, making her two pretty golden ponytails sway slightly.
“What did you think ‘Golden Lightning’ refers to?”
“Is it referring to your twin ponytails? I thought it was the double lightning bolt symbol that originated from the Schutzstaffel. I was wondering why you, an American, would like n.a.z.i symbols.”
“Also, how would we win, if we have to take you to pro games? Do we send the SS over there and physically wipe out our opponents?”
Hm, my cousin is pretty good at roasting. Maybe anyone who was beaten by Xiao Qin in childhood will be great at roasting others.
“Don’t bark like a defeated dog.” Ai Mi used a contemptuous gaze to make Ren Peng quiet down, “You haven’t even tried, so how do you know that you can’t win? Although my skills are a bit… unpredictable, but if you can win with a player with such a distinctive play-style, it would be proof of your abilities.”
“…..”
Ren Peng did not speak for a long time.
Huh, was he actually convinced by Ai Mi’s fallacious reasoning? Don’t tell me to prove his skills, he would not hesitate to bring Ai Mi to a professional tournament?
“Ah, I have another important question.” Winnie suddenly said, “While the Brush Prince is a bit poor right now…”
Hey hey, she didn’t call Ren Peng “cousin”, nor did she call him “expert”, but she began to call him directly by his game ID.
“But, but the Brush Emperor is the chairman of the education group, so he must be super rich, right? So who has more money between the Brush Emperor and Miss Ai Mi?”
Who is the Brush Emperor? If you give the game loathing Ren HongDe a nickname, he will be angry when he finds out.
I walked over and joined the discussion.
“Princ.i.p.al Ren is very benevolent and enthusiastic about charities. In terms of a.s.sets, he is definitely richer than Ai Mi, but I’m afraid he won’t be a spendthrift like Ai Mi who spends her money w.i.l.l.y-nilly…”
“Okay, I have decided to follow Miss Ai Mi for the rest of my life.” Winnie vowed aloud.
So Winnie, the target for your allegiance, is a spendthrift friend who’s generous with money, it makes you look like you have no integrity…
Under Peng TouSi’s arrangement, I could not go home for the next week, but had to live in Ai Mi’s VIP building under Dr. Yu’s medical observation.
Of course I went home once to get some things, including my phone charger. Although the confession text message was already deleted by the cla.s.s leader, so the charger isn’t very useful anymore…
Auntie Ren was transferred to the hospital attached to Qing Zi Academy by Ren HongDe. Compared to the hospital attached to the special education school, this hospital was larger than many other small hospitals. Auntie Ren enjoyed a single room, there were also special medical staff to look after her treatment.
So my dad was temporarily sent home. After Auntie Ren was a little more energetic, she felt that it was inappropriate to have my dad accompany her (she had been misunderstood several times by the staff, thinking that my dad was Auntie Ren’s husband).
Dad still visits Auntie Ren every now and then, but at other times, he either comes to visit me or goes home to run his online store.
During this period of time, he has not touched a drop of alcohol, which made me very happy.
But he was still a bit puzzled about my physical condition.
“Xiao Lin, how come you’re recovering so slow? I noticed you have to be very careful even when you squat…. should we go to a large hospital to take a look?”
