161: Chapter 159: More Shares Given Away?
“Chen Hai, it’s , Li Dajiang!”
“I can tell, first thing in the morning, Brother Li, you paged , what’s up?”
“It’s like this, Old Zhang and I are currently…”
…
Given Li Dajiang’s current situation, he definitely didn’t have the ti or the leisure to exchange pleasantries with Chen Hai.
In less than a minute, he had roughly explained the situation he and Zhang Zhongxiao found themselves in to Chen Hai, and then the line on the other end was abruptly disconnected.
“These two guys, went out to have fun and ended up there…”
Chen Hai, putting the phone down, was at a loss for words.
Frowning, he sat gloomily for quite so ti.
Li Dajiang had called to seek help from him, and if it wasn’t too difficult a favor to grant, he would definitely have to lend a hand.
After all, they were business partners, and Li Dajiang’s business successes were also beneficial to him, Chen Hai.
But exactly how to help, that was a bit of a dilemma in his mind.
Glancing at Ye Qingqing beside him, he had thought about asking her directly for help.
But considering he had only just given her a chance to try dating him,
and now in just a short while, he was already turning to her for help, it made Chen Hai feel a bit uncomfortable.
“Chen Hai, what’s wrong?
Did sothing happen that you need my help with?”
Clever enough to get into Tsinghua University, Ye Qingqing was no fool, and noticing Chen Hai’s expression, she quickly guessed sothing and promptly inquired.
“My two business partners ran into a bit of trouble and ended up in the police station.”
“That last call, it was from them.
They’re asking for my help, hoping I can smooth things over for them.” Hesitant at first, Chen Hai finally responded.
“You talk about dating ?
Do you even consider your girlfriend?”
“For such a small matter, just tell directly.
As long as your friends haven’t committed so serious cri, getting them out should be easy!”
Pouting, Ye Qingqing murmured her dissatisfaction.
“It’s nothing serious.
My two friends, from Tai Island, got arrested during a crackdown on vice!”
“Okay, I’ll make a call to find so help right away.
By the way, what are the nas of those two?
Where are they being held?”
“One is Li Dajiang, the other is Zhang Zhongxiao.
I think they’re being held in the West District…
…
After getting the gist of the situation from Chen Hai, Ye Qingqing imdiately picked up the landline phone from the bedside table and started dialing.
Her mobile phone, as big as a brick, was left in her guest room, not carried with her.
After all, it was cumberso and inconvenient to carry around.
Moreover, the notorious problem of poor reception with mobile phones always bothered people; in places with even slightly weaker signals, you’d be saying hello over and over, and the other end wouldn’t hear a thing.
Generally speaking, given the presence of a landline, a normal person would choose that over flaunting a mobile unless they were trying to show off.
Ye Qingqing’s call was to a woman known as Sister Fang.
From the way they spoke, Ye Qingqing and Sister Fang seed to be quite familiar with each other.
After telling Sister Fang about the situation of Li Dajiang and Zhang Zhongxiao, Sister Fang readily took responsibility for the matter.
When she heard that Ye Qingqing was in Haizhu City, Sister Fang was even more enthusiastic, offering to extend her hospitality and inviting her out to dinner.
“Okay, Chen Hai, your two friends should be out in no ti!”
Hanging up the phone, Ye Qingqing sat down next to Chen Hai, continuing, “Sister Fang said she’d treat to dinner tonight, and I accepted!”
“How about it?
You’ll accompany tonight, right?”
It seed that she was truly ready to make so changes for Chen Hai; now, anything involving Chen Hai, she wouldn’t decide on her own, instead she would first ask for Chen Hai’s opinion.
“Sure!
If you think it’s okay for to go with you, then let’s et Sister Fang together!”
Nodding, Chen Hai added, “Since Sister Fang is willing to help with my friends’ situation, I should be the one treating her to dinner…”
He trailed off there.
Because he suddenly rembered that he seed to have only a few yuan in his pocket.
That little amount might just be enough to treat soone to a fast-food lunch box.
“Right!
We should indeed treat Sister Fang to dinner!” Agreeing with Chen Hai, Ye Qingqing nodded.
Seeing Chen Hai looking sowhat embarrassed, she quickly asked, “What’s wrong?
Did sothing co up, and you don’t want to go et Sister Fang with ?”
“If you really can’t go, it’s okay, I can go by myself!”
Her understanding deanor was palpable, Ye Qingqing sighed; she was truly ready to be a supportive partner, a qualified girlfriend.
She even contemplated whether she should dig up and study those traditional virtues of won’s obedience and propriety from the past.
“No, it’s just that I suddenly rembered I don’t have the money to treat Sister Fang to dinner!” Scratching the back of his head, Chen Hai explained.
“Is that all?
I thought it was sothing serious!” Covering her mouth to stifle a giggle, Ye Qingqing said, “I have money; I’ll pay with my card for dinner tonight.”
“Don’t be a stranger; I’m your girlfriend, what’s mine is yours…”
“Qingqing, this isn’t right, I have money, I just don’t have any cash on !” Chen Hai felt incredibly awkward, shaking his head like a bobblehead.
He fished out the cash check from his pocket and slapped it in front of Ye Qingqing.
“Look, I still have over two hundred thousand.
Taking Sister Fangfang out for a al, this much money is definitely enough!”
“I’ll go out in a bit and withdraw the money…” pointing at the check, Chen Hai said.
“Gee, I had no idea my boyfriend was so wealthy!”
“Then later on, when I’m short on spending money, you’ll have to buy tasty food and drinks!” Ye Qingqing giggled behind her hand, jokingly.
With her family background, a sum of a hundred and so thousand naturally ant nothing to her.
She was just saying these words to satisfy that trace of masculine pride in Chen Hai.
“Sure!
Whatever you want to eat, I’ll go buy it right now!” deliberately thumping his chest, Chen Hai laughed.
Inside this guest room, the two chatted casually for a while, and soon, the beeping of the pager went off again.
“Chen Hai, Brother Li and I have been released!”
“That’s great.
I just made so calls to pull strings; it hasn’t even been half an hour since I did, and you’re already out.
That person works efficiently!”
“Yes!
Both Brother Li and I never thought we’d get out so fast.
You really are aweso, with a wide network of powerful contacts!”
“Oh, it’s nothing, it’s nothing, the two brothers are too kind!”
“Chen Hai, where are you now?
Still at New Beauty Hotel?
Elder Zhang wants to thank you properly, so we’ll give you a surprise.
Wait for us in your hotel room; we’re coming right over!”
…
Naturally, the person paging Chen Hai was that guy, Li Dajiang.
After a brief chat, they hung up.
“My friends have been released, Qingqing, thank you!” Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Hai smiled and inford Ye Qingqing.
“You’re being distant again…”
Rolling her eyes at Chen Hai, Ye Qingqing stood up: “Your friends are coming over soon?
I need to quickly touch up my makeup, or it’ll be embarrassing for you if they see my tear-streaked face!”
Perhaps she felt a little nervous at the thought of eting Chen Hai’s friends for the first ti.
Before Chen Hai could react, she had hurriedly left the guest room and went to her own room next door.
Girls love to look beautiful; it’s their nature.
Already pretty, Ye Qingqing, after half an hour of reapplying her makeup and changing clothes, seed to look even more attractive.
Considering that Li Dajiang and Zhang Zhongxiao were coming to visit, Chen Hai hadn’t closed the door to his guest room, but left it ajar.
‘Knock knock knock…’
After Ye Qingqing had finished touching up her makeup and had chatted briefly with Chen Hai, the knock finally ca.
Then, with a creak, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Li Dajiang and Zhang Zhongxiao strode in.
“Younger Brother Chen…” Li Dajiang had a beaming smile, while Zhang Zhongxiao looked sowhat listless behind him.
Seeing Chen Hai was expected.
But when they saw Ye Qingqing by Chen Hai’s side, both of them paused in unison.
“My girlfriend, Ye Qingqing!”
“Here, Qingqing, let introduce you.
This is Brother Li, Li Dajiang, and this is Boss Zhang, Zhang Zhongxiao!”
With a smile, Chen Hai stood up and introduced Ye Qingqing and Li Dajiang to each other.
“Ye Qingqing…” Zhang Zhongxiao just nodded slightly in response, but Li Dajiang’s eyes lit up when he heard the na.
He vaguely rembered that a couple of days ago, when he had just t with Chen Hai, he had ntioned that the daughter of Ye Rongzhong and Ms.
Song Ling was called Ye Qingqing.
“Miss Ye, hello, hello, I’ve heard about you several tis from Younger Brother Chen!”
“But I really didn’t expect you to be even more beautiful and dignified in person than Chen has described…”
Li Dajiang’s face was alight with enthusiasm as he piled on the complints.
“Cough cough cough…” Zhang Zhongxiao, visibly dissatisfied at the side, coughed several tis as a hint before Li Dajiang finally stopped speaking.
“Chen Hai, I’ve told you before, Brother Li and I ca here to express our gratitude!”
Finally turning the conversation to the main topic, Li Dajiang smiled and turned to Zhang Zhongxiao: “Elder Zhang, bring out the thing!”
“Chen Hai, I, Zhang, don’t like owing favors.
Here’s a share transfer docunt; have a look!”
“If you think this gift compensates for the favor you did for , just sign your na on it.”
“Take the shares, and from now on, we’ll be even.”
Stirred up by Li Dajiang to use shares as a gesture of gratitude, Zhang Zhongxiao agreed, but he seed to have a lingering resentnt.
Throwing the docunt that he had just printed and already signed in front of Chen Hai, he got straight to the point.
“More shares for ?” Chen Hai was stunned.
He didn’t take Zhang Zhongxiao’s attitude to heart.
“Tai Island Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd.?
Abbreviated as TSMC…” Casually picking up the docunt, Chen Hai began to skim through it.
