Everyone in the Group is a Main Character, Except Me Who's the Villain

211: Chapter 211 Nangong Ling: I want to cooperate with youGraceful and charming with a powerful aura—that was Fang Ming’s first impression of Nangong Ling.

Among the beautiful women he knew, Shen Wanyin was also a mature woman, but she wasn’t as mature as Nangong Ling, and her aura felt somewhat weaker.

”Nangong Ling? Shangguan Group?? The richest woman in Xia Country??” Fang Ming stood up to greet her, his face filled with doubt.

Lu Chenzhou was the Crown Prince of the Beijing Circle, but the Crown Prince of the Beijing Circle was only the most powerful in Yanjing. On a national scale, the wealthiest family was still the Shangguan Family of Modu.

But... when did he ever get involved with the Shangguan Family??

”Yes, I’m very sorry for disturbing you at dinner time!” Nangong Ling was very polite.

Fang Ming didn’t dare to be neglectful and quickly invited the two to the living room’s reception area. After they were seated, he spoke up and asked.

”Do we know each other from before??”

Nangong Ling was concise: ”Yakang Expressway, rolls-royce.”

”Uh...”

Hearing this, Fang Ming immediately reacted: ”So it was you that night? What do you want from me?”

No wonder that rolls-royce had such a high safety factor back then; it turned out the wife of the richest man was sitting inside??

”Thank you for saving my life...”

Nangong Ling was straightforward. After speaking, she took a bank card from her assistant, placed it on the coffee table, and gently pushed it toward Fang Ming.

”There are fifty million in this card. The password is six zeros.”

Fifty million?

Fang Ming’s gaze fell on the bank card on the coffee table. He paused for two seconds and then looked up at Nangong Ling.

This wife of the richest man was indeed generous, giving away fifty million just like that??

But thinking about it, from Nangong Ling’s perspective, if he hadn’t happened to pass by that night, they would likely be lying in a funeral parlor by now.

Although fifty million was an astronomical figure for ordinary people, for the family of the richest man, it was just the amount of an ordinary investment.

”Madam Nangong is too polite.” Fang Ming’s tone was flat, and he didn’t touch the card. ”I was just passing by that night and lent a hand.”

Nangong Ling sat opposite him, a section of her fair calf visible through the slit of her qipao. Her hands were folded on her knees, her posture dignified, and her face expressionless.

”Regardless of the reason, the result is that I am still alive. Therefore, please be sure to accept this thank-you gift.”

”Fine.” Fang Ming wasn’t pretentious, but he still wasn’t in a hurry to take the card. ”Then I’ll take it. However, Madam made a special trip here; it probably wasn’t just to deliver money, right?”

Nangong Ling looked at Fang Ming, a hint of scrutiny appearing in her gaze.

This young man was sharper than she had imagined.

”Mr. Fang is indeed clever.” She didn’t deny it. ”Giving the money is only the first thing; there is also a second thing.”

Fang Ming leaned back and made a gesture for her to speak.

Nangong Ling was silent for two seconds. When she spoke again, her tone deepened a bit: ”The gunmen that night were not ordinary robbers.”

”After my husband passed away, I held the shares of the Shangguan Group on his behalf. But he has a younger brother named Shangguan Hong who has always wanted to seize control from me. I usually endure his little tricks, but this time he clearly couldn’t wait any longer. Those gunmen should have been hired by him.”

”You saved me and ruined his plan. He certainly won’t let you off.”

Fang Ming raised an eyebrow: ”You mean...”

”I want to cooperate with you.”

Nangong Ling spoke directly: ”I am alone in the group. Facing those old foxes, I find myself lacking the strength for some things. You were able to take out those gunmen under those circumstances, proving that your ability and background are not weak. If you are willing, we can join forces.”

After she said this, she didn’t continue, but just looked at Fang Ming, waiting for his answer.

Fang Ming pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke: ”If I don’t agree to cooperate with you, what will you do?”

Nangong Ling’s eyes didn’t flicker at all.

”If you don’t cooperate, I won’t blame you. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you; I’m the one who dragged you in. As for Shangguan Hong... I will try my best to help mediate for you.”

She spoke very sincerely, without a hint of falsehood.

Fang Ming couldn’t read minds, so he didn’t know if what she said was true or false, but at least on the surface, she had no reason to lie.

After a few seconds of silence, Fang Ming went over the whole thing in his mind.

Shangguan Hong, the brother of the richest man, powerful and influential, certainly wouldn’t lack experts under his command. Offending such a person was indeed troublesome.

But then again, had he offended few people? Zhao Ruilong, the Lu family—which one wasn’t powerful and influential?

Moreover, he was now a Grandmaster, had the Chat Group, and had brothers like Ye Tian and Chu Feng as his backing. If they really started fighting, he would definitely have the advantage.

”I’ll take the money. Fifty million isn’t expensive for the life of the richest man’s wife. But as for the cooperation, I still need to think about it.”

Going head-to-head with the brother of the richest man was, after all, no small matter. It wasn’t realistic for him to make a decision in a short time.

Nangong Ling’s face remained expressionless, she just nodded slightly.

”As you should. Whenever Mr. Fang has made up his mind, contact me anytime.”

As she spoke, she took another business card from her assistant, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it toward Fang Ming.

The business card was very plain, with only a name and a string of numbers—no title, no logo.

Fang Ming picked up the business card, glanced at it, and casually tucked it into his pocket: ”Alright!”

”Then I won’t disturb Mr. Fang’s dinner anymore.”

Nangong Ling stood up, straightened the hem of her qipao, and left with her assistant.

Fang Ming also stood up, having no intention of asking them to stay, and saw them to the door.

Only after Nangong Ling had completely gotten into the car and driven away did he close the door, return to the living room, and pick up the bank card on the coffee table to look at it.

”Fifty million? Shangguan Hong? Cooperation?”

He was just worrying about not having money to buy stocks, and someone really delivered a pillow just as he was getting sleepy. Fifty million... was enough to buy nearly half of Deep Blue. Why would he even need to use leverage?

However...

”Money is enough as long as it’s sufficient. Using this stock information to gain some die-hard fans might be more suitable for me.”

Fang Ming muttered to himself.

After tossing the bank card into his Storage Ring and finishing his meal, he went straight back to his bedroom and sent a message to Chen Liang.

”Tomorrow is Friday. Go to a securities firm and open an account. I’ll take you to make a wave of money. Remember to bring Mengzi along.”

”Securities firm? Trading stocks?”

”Yes!”

”Okay, I’ll go tomorrow.”

After the chat ended, he sent another one to Chen Qian.

[Ming]: ”I have some insider information on a stock recently. Do you want to follow?”

[Qianqian Little Princess]: ”Stock insider information?? Given by Young Master Qin?”

[Ming]: ”You’ve been in the Qin Family for so long; what insider information has he ever given you??”

[Qianqian Little Princess]: ”He hasn’t! (Awkward face jpg)”

[Ming]: ”Exactly!!”

[Qianqian Little Princess]: ”Is the information reliable?”

[Ming]: ”I think it’s reliable. You can invest a bit and see...”

[Qianqian Little Princess]: ”This... alright then, but I don’t have much money on me.”
