Urban God-level Youth

He didn't give Zhengyuan Company any face, nor did he give Meng Hui any face either.

It was obvious that Meng Hui did not consider him important either.

If Meng Hui didn't respect him, why would he respect Meng Hui?

As expected, when Meng Hui heard his words, he struggled to maintain his dignity, especially with his female secretary and subordinates standing next to him.

If he didn't reclaim some dignity, he would probably be ridiculed when he got back.

Meng Hui's expression turned cold, and he indeed exuded a bit of authority, "Qin Hao, I advise you not to be ungrateful.

My Zhengyuan Company is an established business in Jiangshan City. You better consider the consequences of offending us."

Qin Hao snorted coldly, "You can go and ask around who Qin Hao has ever been afraid of? Calling you Mr. Meng is giving you face, without giving you face you are nothing to me, get lost."

Meng Hui's face went from green to white, and he nodded fiercely, "Fine, we'll see."

After he spoke, he stood up and left with his people, looking extremely upset.

After those people left, Kang Youyi hurriedly came over, "Hao, what happened?"

Qin Hao shook his head, "Nothing, just a bunch of people trying to take advantage of us, block them outside if they come again."

"Okay, sure Hao."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

...

A lot of people visit Qin Hao's company this day, mostly local businesses from Jiangshan City.

The talks mostly revolve around acquisitions and financing, these people are simply eyeing the potential of Jiangshan Roasted Duck, all wanting a piece of it.

Qin Hao refused, as the company was not in need of cash nor did he plan to raise funds.

He didn't know if those people would hold a grudge, but if anyone dared to play dirty, he was no pushover either.

August 26, one day before the university starts, he had already booked his ticket, for early morning at six tomorrow.

He didn't go to the company this day but stayed home packing.

In the morning, he called Du Wanrou, who was also leaving tomorrow, but her parents were flying her there.

Li Shujie didn't go to work; she stayed at home helping her son pack his things.

Mrs. Qin was still worried, "Xiao Hao, let your dad and me take you there tomorrow. What if you get deceived by someone in a place you're unfamiliar with?"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Mom, I'm already an adult, I can make my own decisions, please don't worry."

Mrs. Qin, "You're going to a strange city miles away, how could I not worry?"

Qin Hao, "It's okay mom, don't worry, I'll call you when I get to Jianghai City to let you know I'm safe."

Mrs. Qin hesitated for a moment then said, "Xiao Hao, this is your grandmother's number, if anything happens there, call your grandmother."

Qin Hao paused, grandmother? "Mom, will grandma help me?"

Mrs. Qin glared at him, "Of course she will help you, don't overthink it. Jianghai is a big city, full of powerful and wealthy people, a slight mistake could offend someone, your grandmother's family is quite influential there, look to your grandmother if you run into trouble."

Qin Hao nodded, "Got it mom."

When Qin Youguo came home that evening, he brought a Jiangshan Roasted Duck and also carried a bottle of white liquor.

He laughed and said, "My son is leaving tomorrow, let's have a drink tonight, just the two of us."

Qin Hao, "Okay dad, let's enjoy a good drink tonight."

Mrs. Qin reminded them, "Drink less, don't oversleep tomorrow."

...

For dinner, Mrs. Qin specially cooked a few dishes for them to enjoy with their drinks.

Mr. Qin spoke up, "Xiao Hao, you got into a good university, your dad is proud of you.

Now when I walk around the factory with my back straight, anyone who sees me says, 'Old Qin, you have a great son.'"

Qin Hao could tell that his dad meant it from the bottom of his heart, "I wasn't a good son before; I let you down too many times.

But it won't happen again. In college, I'll work even harder, and once I earn money, you can just enjoy your retirement at home."

Mr. Qin laughed happily and said, "Having heard that from my son, I feel very pleased; let's drink to that."

The two of them drank one cup after another; fortunately, these were small cups, not the large two-ounce shot glasses.

After more than half an hour, the two of them had finished off a bottle of liquor. Mr. Qin's cheeks were flushed, and he was slightly drunk.

Qin Hao, having an exceptional constitution, didn't feel drunk at all.

He helped his father to the bedroom, then had some food and went back to his room.

That night, Qin Hao had insomnia, and he thought about a lot of things.

What did he plan to do in the future? Should he just be content or should he strive forward courageously?

Qin Hao thought about his past life and secretly vowed never to live so insignificantly again.

Being mediocre would only make people look down on you. Anyone could easily trample on you.

That wasn't the life he wanted; he didn't want to be bullied by others in the future.

He wanted to provide a good life for his parents; he wanted to be with Du Wanrou forever.

All that had to be built on a foundation of strength.

He set a goal for himself.

He wanted to expand his roasted duck business across the entire Shuinan Province before the New Year.

He aimed to possess a force equal to or even surpassing that of Ounuo Company, so that nothing would stand in his way with Du Wanrou.

He woke up at five o'clock the next morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Qin were also up; they had a quick bite, and then drove him to the train station.

All the way there, Mrs. Qin kept instructing him to be careful while he was away and to call home if anything came up.

Mr. Qin parked the car and then walked him into the train station.

Qin Hao first collected his ticket, then entered the waiting hall. He had bought a high-speed train ticket, which would get him there in about five hours.

The waiting hall was crowded with people. These few days marked the peak of school starts, so there were many students traveling.

Moreover, many students were accompanied by their parents, making it even more crowded.

Qin Hao looked at his parents beside him and said, "Mom, Dad, you should head back. They're about to start checking tickets; I'll go in first."

Mrs. Qin said, "Why the rush? Mom hasn't had enough of seeing you yet. I don't know when I'll be able to see you again once you leave."

Qin Hao felt a pang of sorrow upon hearing his mom's words; this was his first time traveling far.

His emotions were complex, filled with excitement as well as reluctance and uncertainty.

At six fifteen,

the employees began checking tickets for Qin Hao's train, and he turned and said, "Mom, Dad, you should go back."

Mr. Qin said, "It's fine; we'll leave in a bit."

Qin Hao took a deep breath, pulled his suitcase, and headed to the ticket gate, not daring to look back. He was afraid of seeing his mom's teary eyes.

He was also afraid that he couldn't stop his own tears.

After waiting a few minutes, it was Qin Hao's turn; once the checker had inspected his ticket, he walked through the gate.

He couldn't help but look back; his parents were still standing there, watching in his direction.

Youguo saw him turn and waved at him.

Mrs. Qin was wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, her face breaking into a smile as she looked at him.

Qin Hao waved back, then turned and walked into the passageway, "I'm coming, Jianghai City!"
