He arrived at Xia Ningning’s house and placed a whole bucket of Spirit Spring Water on her car.
He had promised before to give Xu Lele so Spirit Spring Water but had accidentally forgotten.
As the Martial Arts Convention was about to start, Ye Ming was even more pressed for ti, and now he couldn’t go looking for Xu Lele anymore; the first person he thought of was Xia Ningning.
After doing all of this, Xia Ningning said with a sour tone, "President Ye is a busy man now. You had promised sothing before and only rembered it now! If you hadn’t co, I would have believed that you forgot about our Le Le!"
Ye Ming’s face turned red with sha as he said, "Indeed, I’ve been entangled with so matters recently, but I have never forgotten, and besides, there is a share for you here too."
Xia Ningning pursed her lips and said no more; after all, it was not good to say too much when receiving a favor.
So, she changed the subject and asked Ye Ming, "What was that distribution conference you held before all about? Do you realize that it’s a very dangerous thing?."
"Money must be made, but you are too eager for success, even if you say that you are only acting as an agent."
"Exposing your identity could have serious consequences."
Ye Ming didn’t quite understand and asked, "What do you an by that?"
He didn’t think he had done anything wrong and found Xia Ningning’s words very strange.
Xia Ningning let out a sigh and said, "Why don’t you understand such an obvious principle? The effects of Spirit Spring Water have far exceeded everyone’s expectations, it is indeed a very good thing, but there will be many who covet it!"
"It’s like soone suddenly got special powers and was exposed to the public eye, there would be people who want to capture him for research. What you’re doing now has a similar effect to the plots in movies."
"I had already thought about this," Ye Ming said calmly. "I considered this issue before holding the distribution conference."
Xia Ningning said irritably, "Then why do you still do it, are you stupid?"
"By exposing your identity, you are placing yourself in the open, while a group of enemies are watching you from the shadows, ready to strike at any mont, to catch you off-guard. If you aren’t prepared, the loss could be imasurable!"
Xia Ningning’s thoughts were not wrong; having been in business for many years, she understood these principles all too well.
Spirit Spring Water was essentially a business secret, with incalculable value. Whoever got it could make a fortune, and would not have to worry for the latter half of his life. Those who wanted to compete for it were not just business tycoons and martial experts, even ordinary people wanted to get involved.
But Ye Ming’s approach was tantamount to putting the business secret out in the open, just waiting for people to grab it.
Ye Ming was not panicked at all, he said calmly, "I still do it this way after consideration, naturally I have my reasons. I have always disliked hiding in the shadows; business should be done openly and honorably."
"If soone covets it, let them co, I naturally won’t just stand by, I will teach them the most painful lesson, to rember for a lifeti!"
"I won’t change my principles of doing things out of fear. In a world where the strong prey upon the weak, having a strong fist is the hard truth."
At this point, Ye Ming’s deanor gradually relaxed, and he began to lecture Xia Ningning.
"Miss Xia, what you said before was not entirely correct. Whether it’s business competition or the struggle for territory amongst underground forces, the principle is the sa; if you are not strong enough, you can only be bullied by your enemies."
"Whether I hide in the shadows or stand in the open, those who covet Spirit Spring Water will eventually find out about my existence, and they will attack at all costs. What I need to do is to respond with my fists. If one cos, I’ll kill one, it’s as simple as that."
"The simplest way to avoid being targeted by enemies is to beat them down."
When Ye Ming spoke these words, his tone was extrely calm, but the aura emanating from his body was imnsely powerful.
Standing beside him, Xia Ningning felt it most acutely, even experiencing a sense of inferiority.
At that mont, she was sowhat dazed, sowhat astonished.
With a bewildered expression, she said, "The person you’ve beco now, it’s as if you’re soone else, it feels...sowhat strange!"
She began to wonder, to ponder deeply, but, no matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn’t understand how Ye Ming could change so quickly.
Being born into a wealthy family, she had seen many big storms and too many successful individuals, yet no matter how she compared them, Ye Ming exceeded her understanding.
When she had co to break off their engagent, Ye Ming was still a pitiful loser, living on the fringes of society. Xia Ningning’s contempt for him had reached an extre, and normally, she wouldn’t even give him the ti of day.
However, in just a short ti, Ye Ming had transford completely, as if reborn, rising from the bottom of society to the pinnacle of Hai City’s pyramid.
All the major families in Hai City had been dealt with by him, either bowing down to him or being destroyed both ho and person by his actions.
The underground forces of Hai City had been completely subdued by him, with no one daring to object.
It could be said that Ye Ming was now the ceiling, unbeatable by anyone.
When she recalled the fate of those who had opposed him, how tragic their ends were.
How could this possibly be the sa man who had been cuckolded by his girlfriend?
At that mont, she finally understood why her family’s patriarch had arranged such a marriage for her in the first place.
And why so many noble families had been eager to enter into an engagent with him.
Could it be, this was the embodint of the saying, "The golden-scaled carp is not a creature of the pond, but becos a dragon in the face of a storm?"
Seeing Xia Ningning’s amazed look, Ye Ming pursed his lips into a smile and said, "Miss Xia, I am still the Ye Ming from before, it’s just that I have walked out of my setbacks. You say I have shed my old self, and that’s not incorrect."
"However, one thing is certain, the old is completely in the past!"
Thinking back on his past struggles, Ye Ming also felt a bit emotional.
His transformation was entirely due to his grandfather’s legacy, which was also what had allowed him to reinvent himself.
In the future, he would only beco stronger, and the Ye Ming who once could be easily bullied was gone forever.
Xia Ningning took a deep breath and quickly changed the subject, "The Spirit Spring Water you gave , I will pass it on to Le Le."
"I am glad to see the changes in you now."
After saying those words, Xia Ningning herself was surprised. She couldn’t understand why she had, as if possessed, praised Ye Ming. Perhaps it was because Ye Ming’s transformation was so astonishing it had put pressure on her.
Just as she was about to leave, sothing occurred to Xia Ningning, and she asked Ye Ming, "I’ve heard that you’ll be attending the Martial Artist Conference in a few days, is that right?"
