Hiss...
Jiang Zhonggen gasped, looking at Ye Chen in disbelief, incredibly shocked. He had considered countless possibilities, but never this one. Because this possibility was truly overwhelming. Although every man dreams of having his own ’Utopia,’ the chances of realizing it are as slim as plucking stars from the sky.
"You... are too bold!" Jiang Zhonggen exhaled slightly, but he still couldn’t believe this daring and audacious idea.
"There’s nothing bold or not bold about it!" Ye Chen chuckled lightly, "You live once; you can’t leave with regrets when you die. I believe you rember what Paul Korchagin said: One should spend their life in such a way that when recalling the past, they will not regret wasting their youth, nor feel sha for being idle; when dying, they can say: ’My entire life and all my energy have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world—the struggle for the liberation of mankind.’ I may not have such great aspirations as Paul, but when I am dying, I want to say that my entire life and all my energy have been devoted to my family, my friends, my true love."
"Well said!" Ye Chen’s words were enlightening to Jiang Zhonggen. He suddenly understood, even feeling a bit guilty, rembering how everyone has been young and dread, how dreams are too full but reality too harsh. When dreams et reality, everything seems like a vision through a fog. Jiang Zhonggen sighed, "Ye Chen, you are the only person I admire. Regarding Jiang Wei’s matter, I do not bla you, as this is the path he chose himself."
"I’m glad Secretary Jiang is generous and fair!" Ye Chen smiled.
Afterward, the two chatted in the study for a while about the Heavenly Reversal Gang, the Luo Sijue family, and Sunset City in Ottawa. Ye Chen’s plan was unfolding step by step, and his dream was coming to fruition step by step. The Heavenly Reversal Gang was also moving towards an international stage.
After leaving the Jiang family, the four wandered the streets, where citizens were everywhere strolling through alleys and lanes. Everyone wore brand-new clothes; the girls were dressed brightly, and the boys wore stylish coats. In contrast, Ye Chen still wore his slightly worn-out clothes. Soon, Dian Ling and Zhang Yantong were called away by a phone call. Zhang Yantong instructed Ye Chen to take good care of himself and to call her dad in the afternoon to send New Year’s greetings.
The two left, leaving Ye Chen and Liu Momo.
"Brother Chen, Momo wants to co back!" Liu Momo blinked her brilliant eyes at Ye Chen.
"Then co back!" Ye Chen nodded, saying, "Go to Si Yang Group and manage the company for , how about it?"
"Sure!" Liu Momo nodded and laughed, "However, I want to start from the ground up. I plan to begin as the chairman’s assistant and gradually familiarize myself with the company’s business before considering managing company affairs for you!"
"Hmm, nice idea!" Ye Chen nodded.
Unknowingly, the two walked towards University City, and at the entrance of a mall, a large crowd had gathered. People in China have a habit of watching the excitent, so Liu Momo pulled Ye Chen over to join them. Unexpectedly, the crowd was surrounding soone both of them knew—Li Wen. Li Wen was kneeling at the door with her one-year-old baby, a sign placed in front: The child is seriously ill, hoping kind-hearted people can lend a helping hand. I shall repay as best as I can!
"Hey, lass, if we save your baby, are you going to co with us?" A few thuggish-looking young n stood in front of Li Wen, smiling as they talked. Judging by their looks, they must have drunk quite a bit; having so drinks on New Year’s Day is typical.
"If you are willing to pay 300,000 for my child’s treatnt, I am willing to go with you!" Li Wen nodded.
"Damn, 300,000? It’s not worth it!" The young man with a ruddy nose imdiately shook his head, saying, "At most 100,000. If you’re willing, then co with us. Paying 300,000 for a girl like you is definitely a loss, even if we play with you for a while and then send you to a salon to serve custors. How many years would it take to earn it back? A woman, and a woman who’s had a child, how many years of youth could she offer? You’re letting us pay so much that we can’t even recoup the costs!"
"300,000, not a penny less!" Li Wen gritted her teeth.
Liu Momo couldn’t hold back, wanting to jump in, but she was forcibly pulled back by Ye Chen, who whispered to her, "Shh, observe quietly, see what these people really want to do!"
Only then did Liu Momo quiet down, though she was slightly impatient. The few young n scratched their heads, saying, "Make it less, 150,000 will do."
"No, 300,000!" Li Wen’s attitude was firm.
At this mont, the baby in her arms began to cry, and Li Wen, helpless, could only lift her shirt to nurse the child. The young n’s eyes beca fixated, staring at Li Wen’s tender chest, with the young man with a ruddy nose saying happily, "Damn, she has such tender breasts even after having a child? I guess the lower part is tender too?"
"Who knows, maybe it’s a black fungus down there!" another man quickly shook his head.
"200,000, will you accept it? If not, we’ll walk away!" The young man with a ruddy nose seed interested in Li Wen, raising the offer to 200,000!
"Add 50,000 and I’ll go with you!" Li Wen gritted her teeth, seemingly making a decision.
"Miss, I advise you not to act recklessly, if you go with them, your child’s illness may be cured, but your life will be ruined!" A white-haired old man advised. Li Wen sighed, saying, "If I don’t save my child, my life is ruined anyway. At least if I save the child, I have a reason to live!"
Hearing Li Wen’s words, the crowd watching sighed one after another. The elderly man reached into his pocket and pulled out a thousand yuan, saying, "This is all I can afford; buy sothing for the child to eat!"
"I can give 500!"
"I have 300!"
The crowd began donating money live, sothing Li Wen hadn’t anticipated. She experienced the warmth and coldness of society in China. She had traveled countless places, begged countless people, yet no one was willing to help. Hospitals, the Red Cross Society, the Children’s Charity Foundation... Too many to count, so many that she couldn’t keep track herself. If it weren’t a last resort, who would choose to sell themselves to save their child?
"I’ll give 300,000!" a heavy voice rang out. The crowd turned their heads to look, only to see a casually dressed man accompanied by a beautiful young woman walk up. The young man with a ruddy nose imdiately got angry, "Kid, don’t ss around, this girl belongs to for 250,000. Besides, you already have such a pretty girl, why fight with over a woman who’s had a child?"
Ye Chen ignored the young man with a ruddy nose and walked straight up, asking, "Li Wen, why didn’t you co to when you were in trouble?"
"Ye Chen... Momo, why is it you?" Li Wen was startled, looking at both of them. Suddenly, her nose turned red as she cried, "My child has congenital heart disease and needs surgery, which costs 300,000 yuan. I... I really didn’t have a choice!"
"Hey, hey, woman, I agreed to give you 250,000. You better co with us now!" The young man with the ruddy nose and three thugs walked up, and Ye Chen glanced at them, saying, "I advise you all to walk away now, or I will make you regret ever coming into this world!"
"Damn, you think you’re tough, huh?" The young man with the ruddy nose sneered coldly, "I’ll tell you, I’m well respected around the Fujian area, nicknad Diao. I brought several dozen little brothers back for the New Year. Kid, you better mind your own business, or I’ll make you regret it!"
"Alright then!" Ye Chen shrugged, saying, "Bring it on, let see how you plan to make regret it!"
"Damn, guys, get him, this kid’s looking for a fight!" The young man with the ruddy nose waved his hand. The three n behind him imdiately surrounded Ye Chen. Judging by their looks, they seed to be people from outside, or they wouldn’t fail to recognize Ye Chen. Even if they didn’t recognize Ye Chen, they should recognize Liu Momo, the gang princess known as a dream lover to many n in Jianghuai City.
Just as the three surrounded him, Ye Chen’s fists were already moving. His body flashed, a slight movent, and the three n were lying on the ground, vomiting large amounts of blood, cursing, "Damn, this hurts so much! Damned!"
"Damn, so powerful?" The young man with the ruddy nose was startled, retreating hurriedly, not expecting Ye Chen to be so formidable. He knew he couldn’t beat Ye Chen alone, so he threatened, "Kid, just wait here, I’ll bring the big team right back!"
"Don’t hurry off!" Ye Chen rushed forward and grabbed the man’s collar single-handedly before throwing him harshly. The young man with the ruddy nose was thrown several ters by Ye Chen, hitting the wall before coming to a stop. He was dizzy from the toss, and the three n ran over quickly to support him as they hurriedly fled.
Clap, clap...
The onlookers applauded, the white-haired old man fervently saying, "Young man, well done, people like this deserve to be hit, it’s good for society." The crowd praised Ye Chen’s actions, agreeing with his response which mirrored their thoughts. As for Ye Chen himself, surprisingly bashful, he hurried off dragging Li Wen. Ye Chen and Liu Momo took Li Wen’s child to the hospital for treatnt. The treatnt costs roughly 300,000 yuan. Shortly after birth, the child was diagnosed with congenital heart disease but needed to wait until one year old for the surgery.
