Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Ye Mingzhu’s Insignificance

The woman standing under the streetlight felt aggrieved. ”My name is Ye Mingzhu, not ’some woman.’ You didn’t even ask for my name.”

Qin Tianxuan thought for a moment. ”You know the inner workings of the Black Dragon Bank like the back of your hand. Perhaps you could be of use.”

Really?

Ye Mingzhu puffed out her chest, a sudden feeling of excitement washing over her. ’I’m useful to him!’

She subconsciously moved to get closer to him, but a look from Qin Tianxuan stopped her in her tracks.

”Do you understand finance?”

Ye Mingzhu was deeply insulted. ”Of course I do! I graduated from the Overseas Finance Academy. I was supposed to be a rising star in the financial world. If it weren’t... if it weren’t for that Jin Longhai setting his sights on me, I wouldn’t have fallen this low!”

Qin Tianxuan unlocked his phone and typed Ye Mingzhu’s name into the Intelligence Hall’s system.

Her file was pulled up instantly.

It was incredibly detailed.

She hadn’t been lying. She had graduated from a top international finance academy and had work experience at a multinational corporation. After returning to Jinling, a failed investment deal led to her being targeted by several bigwigs in the financial sector. Desperate, she had turned to Jin Longhai to sort out the mess.

The result? Jin Longhai helped her fix the botched deal, but in return, he kept her firmly under his thumb!

It was a sad story.

But from beginning to end, Ye Mingzhu had simply accepted her fate, never once thinking to resist her tragic destiny.

Because she lacked the courage.

Despite her status as an elite overseas returnee and a prodigy of the financial world, she was terrified of her failed deal being exposed. Even more, she feared Jin Longhai’s terrifying methods!

She was a perfect example of the saying: pitiful people have their loathsome aspects.

Qin Tianxuan put down his phone. ”From now on, you work for me! I have three rules. Memorize them!”

Ye Mingzhu shuddered. ’What... what does he mean?’

”First: obey all orders!”

”Second: be loyal to me!”

”Third: no questions allowed!”

’What kind of rules are these? This is practically a contract for indentured servitude.’

Ye Mingzhu’s face flushed red. ”Mr. Qin, you’re looking for a slave, not a partner!”

Qin Tianxuan’s eyes were cold. ”If you’re not willing, then get lost!”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Ye Mingzhu stood shivering on the cold street for a long moment. Gritting her teeth, she rushed forward and continued to follow him.

”Mr. Qin, what exactly do you want me to do?”

”Did you forget the third rule?”

The third rule?

No questions allowed!

Ye Mingzhu bit her lip and helplessly continued to follow his steps.

Suddenly, the roar of an engine echoed through the street.

A silver luxury car pulled up elegantly by the roadside.

Still in a daze, Ye Mingzhu looked up, and her eyes immediately widened in astonishment!

’My God, is that... is that a Koenigsegg SAG?’

A custom silver model!

Ye Mingzhu knew of such supercars, but she had only ever seen one in a brochure.

There was a saying among wealthy car enthusiasts: one Koenigsegg is worth ten Rolls-Royces.

’This car alone... must be worth tens of millions, right?’

While she was still lost in thought, a stunningly handsome man with the air of an aristocrat stepped out of the car. He bowed deeply to Qin Tianxuan. ”Sir, it was a bit rushed, but I found this car in the Jinling garage. Will it do?”

The man who had arrived was Prince.

Qin Tianxuan gave it a casual glance. ”I don’t like it. Get another one.”

Ye Mingzhu nearly had a heart attack.

’This car isn’t good enough?’

She had just remembered—this silver Koenigsegg was the first custom model to enter Da Xia, with a starting price of at least sixty million!

’And this Qin Tianxuan... he actually... he actually said he doesn’t like it?’

Over on the side, Prince immediately pulled out his phone. ”Open the Sir’s garage. I will accompany him to pick out a car later. Then, organize the twelve investment consortiums in Jinling. Also, have the Dongshen Financial Group prepare to allocate thirty percent of its resources for the operation plan here in Jinling!”

’An operation... an operation plan?’

Ye Mingzhu was dumbfounded once again.

’It sounds like they’re preparing for war.’

They say business is like a battlefield, but this was too much.

’Wait, what did that handsome man just say?’

’Dongshen Financial Group?’

’Dongshen, the number one financial group in Jiangnan?’

But what happened next shocked Ye Mingzhu even more.

When she found herself standing in the largest private estate in Jinling, staring at the spacious open-air garage in the back garden, she felt like she was about to faint.

Lined up before her were rows upon rows of top-tier luxury cars.

Ferrari 458s, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Maybachs.

Over there was a whole collection of Alfa concept cars.

Not to mention a black, Batmobile-esque vehicle!

’This... this isn’t a garage!’

’This is a supercar exhibition hall.’

Prince and Qin Tianxuan stood before the garage, discussing business strategies, seemingly oblivious to the incredible cars around them.

Ye Mingzhu stood there, stunned, feeling her own insignificance for the first time.

Compared to Qin Tianxuan, every other tycoon in the vast Jinling City seemed as laughable as a beggar.

For the first time, Ye Mingzhu understood the meaning of ”wealth that could rival a nation”!

All these cars together had to be worth at least a billion!

Just then, Qin Tianxuan pointed to a black car. ”Let’s take that one.”

”Understood. I’ll have the team here service it. This domestically-produced Zhanqi hasn’t been driven in a long time.”

Qin Tianxuan’s tone was still indifferent. ”I just prefer domestic cars. Hmm. After it’s serviced, have Ye Mingzhu drive. We’ll begin the Longyue Plan at dawn!”

When dawn broke, Ye Mingzhu drove the Zhanqi out of the estate with Qin Tianxuan as her passenger.

She had so many questions she wanted to ask.

But with the rules fresh in her mind, she didn’t dare to speak.

Following Qin Tianxuan’s directions, she drove all the way to the Jinling International Hotel, where a huge sign had been erected.

On it was a line of large, golden words: ”Celebrating Longyue Group’s New Chapter in Jinling!”

’Just now, Qin Tianxuan mentioned a ”Longyue Plan.” Could this be his operation plan?’
