Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 181 No Inheritance
Dog Brother, a man of the underworld, is unlikely to stay home even when he has free time, unless someone invites him to dinner. Moreover, Ning Bishu is no ordinary person now.

So Ning Bishu made a phone call, and Dog Brother booked a table in no time. When Ning Bishu entered the hotel's VIP room, Dog Brother and Wang Chao had already downed a bottle of beer each and were laughing heartily.

"Brother Gou, it's Boss Wang!"

"President Ning, you're here! Hahaha... Brother Long, Brother Hu! Have a seat!"

The small private room had only five people.

The boss and driver sat at the same table, and the atmosphere was hundreds of times more relaxed than when they had just chatted with those two young nobles in the tea room. As soon as Ning Bishu sat down, he thanked Gou Xiaofei: "Brother Gou, I have to thank you again this time. The interest on that ten million was even lower than that of the bank."

Gou Xiaofei laughed and said, "President Ning, don't be so polite with me. What we do is steal business from banks! If you support our business, we'll support yours. It's mutually beneficial between us. Why let those bastards at the banks make money? Right?"

"Brother Gou is right!" Ning Bishu laughed and agreed, poured himself a glass, and clinked glasses with Gou Xiaofei.

Gou Xiaofei suddenly asked again, "President Ning, what kind of business are you involved in now? How come we haven't heard anything about it?"

"Sigh~ The company was just registered the day before yesterday. The office is still under renovation, we haven't even found enough staff, and the project isn't even at the beginning. You could say that apart from the evil of money and my own great talent and ambition, we have nothing else. What kind of news could we possibly have?" Ning Bishu had no intention of dragging Gou Xiaofei into it, so he casually brushed it off.

Gou Xiaofei was a reasonable person, so he didn't press the matter further. He laughed and joked, "President Ning, I really can't learn your style of being both humble and shameless! If every educated person were like you, the future of our nation would be so promising."

Ning Bishu immediately reciprocated, "Brother Gou, you flatter me. You're just as good! If all those kids who voluntarily participate in the workforce early could be as hardworking and indomitable as you, Brother Gou, and grow up with your broad mind and vision, how could our country not become prosperous and strong?"

"Good, good, good! President Ning, for the sake of the nation!"

"Brother Dog, for the country!"

Ning Bishu and Gou Ge clinked glasses. Before long, Gou Ge was flushed with drink and started shouting that he would take Ning Bishu to experience the charm of "Heaven on Earth 2.0" for the second round, in order to support the development of multi-ethnic characteristic service industries.

Ning Bishu readily agreed, and he and Dog Brother chatted idly over drinks. Dog Brother then moved on to the domestic and international economic situation, from the economic situation to the Taliban's proposed tariffs, and then to the Russia-Ukraine war, the third season, and gold as a store of value...

Clearly, they watch a lot of news regularly.

Half an hour later, Gou Xiaofei drunkenly said to Ning Bishu, "It's really not easy for us ordinary people. Even if we know so much, what's the use? If you buy too much gold, you can't hold onto it. If you buy too little, what's the difference between having nothing and not having any? If a fight breaks out, at most you can wear two gold rings on your hand. If you wear too many, someone will cut you with one knife, and snap, the rings are gone, and your hand is gone too."

"Brother Dog, don't think so much, it's pointless... hiccup~~~" Ning Bishu also hiccuped from drinking, his tongue tied in knots, "Damn it, everyone who lives in this world will die sooner or later. Who the hell can say what will happen in the future?"

As a person, just live in the present. If you think something is right, do it. It's okay if you're wrong; just correct it. The worst that can happen is death. This life is meant to be used, so why not make the most of it?

If you do it right, that's even better. Being right means winning, and winning brings happiness. Isn't the point of life to be happy? If someone makes you unhappy, you should at least consider whether eliminating them is worthwhile.

"Hey, Mr. Ning, your thinking is too dangerous..."

"What kind of danger is this? Some idiots can't even get into a junior college, but their families can get them into Tsinghua or Peking University with some connections. With a little more manipulation, they can make tens or hundreds of billions of yuan from some worthless project. Even if they lose money, tens of millions of people across the country will foot the bill for them."

Isn't this far more dangerous than our little ideas?
"They're not afraid even if they do it openly, so what do we law-abiding citizens have to be afraid of? You're just an ordinary person, and you don't even have the courage to risk your life? You still want to get rich? You still want to be on equal footing with those people? You still want to live a happy life?"

"Hiccup!" Gou Xiaofei, who was half-drunk, suddenly hiccuped when he heard this, and his eyes instantly became clearer.

He stared blankly at Ning Bishu, then shook his head and sighed, "President Ning, I'm truly impressed. No wonder you managed to make two hundred million in one go!"

"Otherwise what? Hahahaha..." Ning Bishu laughed loudly, throwing his head back.

"I'm not going to say it anymore, I'm afraid the walls will be overheard and I'll get arrested..." Brother Gou waved his hand, "I'm so weak from listening to this, all my ethnic charm won't work in the future."

Ning Bishu rubbed his forehead and said drunkenly, "Oh dear, it's a pity my Tao Tao hasn't graduated yet, otherwise I could have her by my side every day. Just thinking about it makes me so happy." As he spoke, he took out a packet of Chinese medicine from his pocket and gulped it down with the beer he was full of.

Gou Xiaofei's lips twitched as he looked on, and he asked, "President Ning, what are you doing now?"

Ning Bishu downed the medicine in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said with blurry, drunken eyes, "For the revolution, to strengthen the body."

"Okay, I see now..."

Gou Xiaofei turned his head speechlessly and asked Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, "Does your boss usually only drink three bottles of beer?"

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu exchanged glances, and Zhao Hu replied somewhat uncertainly, "He seems to behave a little better when he drinks red wine."

"Never mind, never mind," Gou Xiaofei sighed. "President Ning, let me take you back to get some sleep first."

Ning Bishu shouted, "No! Fight until dawn! Let's go into the canyon!"

"Wang Chao, go pay the bill."

Gou Xiaofei gave Wang Chao a word, then immediately helped Ning Bishu up, laughing, "President Ning, let's drink again tomorrow. I was wondering why you suddenly had such a big attitude, daring to change the world. So, after drinking, you think the world belongs to you?"

Ning Bishu shouted, "Even if we don't drink, the world belongs to all the people of the world! I'll only take one big bite at most!"

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu quickly got up and took Ning Bishu from Gou Xiaofei.

The five people filed out.

At the other end of the VIP box, four or five young people walked towards them.

As the two groups brushed past each other, someone in the other group suddenly shouted, "Ning Bishu!"

Ning Bishu looked over in a daze, thinking to himself, "What a small world!"

But I have to say, after drinking, this girl seems to be much prettier than before.

"Wow, Officer Liang, what a coincidence! What advice do you have for me?"

Ning Bishu pushed away Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, who were supporting him.

Seeing Ning Bishu's completely drunk state, Liang Shishi's face was full of disdain, and she cursed, "You scoundrel!"

After hurling insults, he left, leaving Ning Bishu completely bewildered.

The men and women accompanying Liang Shishi also looked at Ning Bishu with curiosity, as if he were an animal. One of the young men, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, quickly caught up with Liang Shishi, his face full of curiosity, and asked loudly, "Shishi, who is your grandson?"

Liang Shishi said irritably, "It's the one that's going to sue me."

"Oh? It's him?"

The group turned around, only to see that Ning Bishu and his companions had already walked away.

The man, who was Liang Shishi's suitor, hurriedly asked with concern, "Didn't you ask Zhang Junjun to mediate?"

“Hmm.” Liang Shishi frowned and nodded. “But he still wants me to apologize to him online.”

"Damn, how can he be so clueless? Doesn't he know what your family does?"

The young man spoke with an air of pride, then shook his head and sighed disdainfully, "These people are really something. They've just got a few coins in their pockets and they think they're something special. Zhang Junjun can't even handle this simple matter..."

"Alright, stop pretending. Zhang Junjun is old enough to be your grandpa. He at least owns a hotel. How many coins do you have in your own pocket?" Liang Shishi was extremely annoyed and hated this kind of talkative person the most.

Her family is a good match for her in terms of social standing, but what good is it if she has no money?

The young man was indignant and immediately retorted, "Shishi, you're wrong. What kind of family do we come from? Making some money is easy for us. I'm only holding back because of my status now. But if I find an opportunity to get a project later, making some money will be a piece of cake."

Liang Shishi immediately said irritably, "Ning Bishu just told Zhang Junjun that he plans to start a chain of gyms. Why don't you just join in and do it together?"

The young man scoffed, "Gyms these days? That's ancient history! Beijing is full of gyms, the national market is saturated. What's the difference between that and starting a food delivery business now? Isn't that just suicide?"

"I told you, money earned by luck will eventually be lost through hard work. Shishi, just you wait and see, this Ning Bishu will be dead within a year. I think you don't need to pay any attention to him anymore. Even if he had 200 million, let alone 200 million, he's just an ant in my eyes. He's just got a little bit of money, look how smug he is, thanking 'Friend A' every day."

"Oh my, you're acting like you've never seen the world before. If I had two hundred million, I'd be embarrassed to even tell people. What can you do with that little bit of money? Who can afford to spend it?"

The young man got more and more excited as he talked.

Liang Shishi couldn't help but interrupt: "Deng Jiguo, shut up, okay? Who was it that lost some money in the A-shares market a few days ago and has been playing the victim on social media for days on end? Wasn't it you?"

“Shishi, I’m sharing the joys and sorrows of the people! You have no idea how many farmers I have in my WeChat Moments. I have to maintain my down-to-earth persona, right? I can’t let the common people always think that we young cadres from leadership families are high and mighty and unapproachable, can I? I still want to be a successor to socialism in the future.”

"You are so beautiful, especially considering your terrible exam scores before..."

"I graduated several years ago, why bother with academic achievements? Now we look at overall qualities."

"Your manners are also quite poor."

But I have a heart that loves you.

"Ugh!" Liang Shishi made a disgusted face.

The others also burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter and conversation, no one remembered what they had just been discussing.

They released Ning Bishu as easily as farting.

Meanwhile, Gou Xiaofei escorted him to his hotel room. On the way, he inquired about Guo Chen's situation with Ning Bishu, saying that Guo Chen owed him 30 yuan and had now disappeared without a trace.

Ning Bishu, of course, knew nothing about it and didn't care.

He went back to his room, closed the door, and, half-drunk and half-awake, went into the bathroom and washed his face.

Then I sat down blankly, letting my mind wander.

It took him a while to realize where this emptiness came from.

Tonight...

I'll have to sleep alone now.

Well, let's just consider it a chance to rest and recuperate...

He yawned, just about to lie down and go to sleep, when his phone rang again.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was Chen Tingting calling, so he answered immediately. On the other end, Chen Tingting's soft, delicate voice came through: "Honey, I went to the hospital today to have my blood drawn and did a paternity test."

"Ok??"

"The report confirms the child is yours; I've sent it to you."

Ning Bishu immediately sat up in bed, quickly swiped the screen to WeChat, then opened the picture sent by Chen Tingting and zoomed in. After flipping through the pages, he remained silent for a long time before asking in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

Without hesitation, Chen Tingting replied, "I want you."

Ning Bishu thought for a moment, then transferred 5 yuan to him, saying, "You rest well at home, I'll come see you in a few days."

"Okay." Chen Tingting accepted the money and said gently, "Then I'll wait for you."

Ning Bishu hung up the phone and then fell back down in freefall.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, his eyes lost in thought.

After a long while, she suddenly turned over and opened the ticket booking app.

I booked three bullet train tickets to Nanjing for tomorrow...
