High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 369 - 181: Someone Offended Him

Indeed, standing with the merchants is understandable, but consumers will vote for themselves. If your mall shuts down, you deserve it!

Li Yang wants to emulate a model like JD.com; he’s not doing it for profit.

In a few years, during the major domestic deflation, economic liquidity will be the trump card.

As long as he can keep money flowing, he will always have the upper hand. No matter how the market changes, he will remain invincible.

Green Water Group naturally has this foundation, and there’s a certain level of trust from both the official and unofficial sectors in the nearby county towns.

As long as it’s executed properly, establishing the brand won’t be difficult.

For Li Yang, this is a tremendous opportunity and a long-term goal for which he will invest a significant amount of money.

This is the clearest collision between money and power.

But it’s not about how much money one holds, rather how much money can be kept in circulation.

If he misses this moment, trying to make it work later will be very difficult. The money Li Yang has in hand wouldn’t be nearly enough to cover compensation.

He actually doesn’t have much money.

Previously, he never thought about doing any of this, only about saving some money to live on his own.

But after the Cen Family started their machinations, he reflected for several days.

Eventually, he made a decision: he had to make himself stronger.

Pure money draws everyone’s urge to trample on you, though it might not hurt, it’s truly disgusting.

Anyway, Jiang Banxia would take care of him; Master Jiang wouldn’t stand seeing him suffer.

Even if all his investments fail, and he is heavily in debt, he can still stay in Master Jiang’s villa and drive Master Jiang’s luxury cars.

If no one really supports him, he will simply return home next week!

The Green Water Group project is one he plans to invest in, although it’s not the most central.

His core plan is to wait and see what other tactics the Cen Family might employ before making his move.

This time, he plans to completely ruin the Cen Family and label himself with ’Don’t mess with me.’

Bai Qing cannot understand this.

But she knows that Li Yang would definitely not be wrong.

That afternoon, she met with Ye Bingcheng alongside Li Yang, and they talked for over an hour.

Ye Bingcheng is busy now, but he reaffirmed the promises he made earlier, realizing his promotion was pure luck.

Li Yang is determined to avenge Bai Qing, and Bai Qing is also betting everything on it; the biggest benefits have landed upon him.

It’s like cultivating, escaping three, even five years of arduous practice overnight, a stroke of incredible luck.

...

Jiang Yaoting didn’t leave his house all day.

He’d been talking with Jiang Banxia, but Jiang Banxia’s attitude showed no signs of budging.

He was on the brink of anger.

Jiang Banxia appeared very calm, even leisurely watching videos.

"Xiaxia, it’s been a day. I’m tired of repeating myself..."

"Dad, I’m tired of listening too."

"So what are you really thinking? If you have any demands from the family, just say them. In short, I do not agree with your decision to drop out!"

To Jiang Yaoting, Jiang Banxia was being capricious.

Who would willingly choose to drop out of Jing University?

Jiang Banxia is fully capable of studying at Jing University.

Moreover, Jiang Banxia currently lacks nothing; she should focus on her studies without distractions.

Jiang Banxia helplessly said, "I don’t have any demands from the family; things are fine as they are now. I only have demands on myself; I hope to do something more meaningful rather than waste the most energetic years in college."

"How is attending college a waste? It’s an indispensable process in life."

"But I don’t want to experience it; I’ve had romances, passed exams, studied in classrooms for a long time... University life has no attraction for me at all."

Jiang Yaoting angrily exclaimed, "I see you’re just floating! Thinking you’ve got some money, you’re starting to feel inflated. You earned that money with your talent, and now you’re dismissing everyone! Right now, you should concentrate on your studies to safeguard your wealth, and yet you want to drop out? Do you even know your own worth?"

It’s his first time criticizing Jiang Banxia; in the past, no matter what happened, he was always patient.

Today, his patience was truly exhausted.

Dou Ying quickly intervened to stop Jiang Yaoting, saying to Jiang Banxia, "Xiaxia, is Li Yang also considering dropping out?"

"No, he absolutely plans to complete his studies."

Jiang Yaoting got even more furious upon hearing this, "Is Li Yang that bastard persuading you to drop out? I’m going to confront him right now!"

Then he made as if to leave.

One would have expected Jiang Banxia to stop him, but as he reached the doorway, he realized Jiang Banxia was utterly indifferent.

He couldn’t help but glance back, realizing Jiang Banxia couldn’t care less.

How could he truly confront Li Yang? Aside from this matter not being confirmed, it wouldn’t be fair to peg him with blame without cause. Even if confirmed that Li Yang did induce it, they would only be able to educate their daughter and find ways to change her decision.

Dou Ying noticed his awkwardness and quickly took his hand, advising, "Yaoting, we haven’t figured things out yet; it’s not too late to confront Li Yang once we do."

These words gave Jiang Yaoting a necessary respite.

He returned, continuing to question, "Xiaxia, your reasons failed to persuade me. Give me a reason that convinces me!"

This time, Jiang Banxia took it seriously.

After talking all day, tolerances on both sides had diminished greatly.

If she’d revealed her true reasons at the start, her parents certainly wouldn’t have agreed.

Much like business negotiations, revealing the bottom line upfront leads to losses, greatly reducing the chances of a successful negotiation.

"Fine, I’ll be straightforward. There are two reasons. The first is I practically missed all classes for the last semester of my sophomore year, too much to catch up on, and I’m reluctant to make up for it. The second reason is... Li Yang is facing difficulties now, and I want to help him."

Jiang Yaoting promptly dismissed the first reason: missing studies? No problem, it can be made up later.

But the second reason...

"We understand your feelings for Li Yang; you want to help him, and we have no objections. You can even lend him all your money, even give it to him. But deciding to do public fundraising, how does that help him? Public funds barely earn commission annually. Even if you invest all your money, in the current market downturn, how much can you really make? Are the tens of billions you hold not enough to help Li Yang?"

Jiang Banxia explained, "Li Yang doesn’t lack money; what he lacks is support. Support doesn’t need to be extremely wealthy but must have the ability to manage money. Dad, you should understand this better than me... Was your recent promotion due to your skills and talents? My mother’s stain abroad is an indelible mark for you for life..."

Jiang Yaoting was stunned.

He certainly knew the reason for his promotion and it was because of Jiang Banxia.

At this moment, Jiang Banxia stood as a symbol of fame and strength anywhere in the nation.

The principle of one person attaining enlightenment leading to the elevation of all around, albeit harsh, but he indeed is that creature reaping benefits from his daughter’s glory.

Because Jiang Banxia is exceptionally outstanding, the organization can overlook the blemish he carries.

Even without Jiang Banxia providing a penny of benefit yet, the sheer presence of someone affluent like Jiang Banxia is ample for imagination.

Jiang Yaoting asked, "What troubles is Li Yang facing?"

He wished to see if he could assist, while taking the chance to sway his daughter from dropping out.

"Hmm... it’s all minor troubles. If only Li Yang had a father-in-law who commands respect in the Capital City, those minor troubles would vanish... How about you give it a go?"

Jiang Yaoting: "..."

Give it a go my foot!

Who knows if he’ll ever be able to step out of this county?

To hold sway in the Capital City? If he had that ability, would he really be here wasting his breath all day?

"Did he offend someone?"

Jiang Banxia resolutely replied, "No, someone offended him!"
