Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 167 Street Thugs and Connections
Unlike little girls like Xiao Taotao, Mu Shanming already knew how to care for others. Thinking Ning Bishu needed to rely on medicine to get through the day, she only did a little cultivation with him that evening, and once their "public offering" (sexual intimacy) arrived along with their pleasure, she immediately let him go.

Ning Bishu finally had a chance to catch his breath. When he woke up the next morning, he was not dizzy or lightheaded, his legs were not weak, and his waist did not feel empty. He went to the balcony early in the morning and told Di Guofeng the good news.

Upon hearing that Ning Bishu's business was booming, Di Guofeng naturally offered his congratulations. After a few more polite words, Ning Bishu gave him the address of Wangfu Jinxiu Jiayuan, indicating that he was available anytime that day, and then they tacitly ended the call.

A short while later, Ning Bishu and Mu Shanming finished washing up and went downstairs together. They ran two laps around the neighborhood early in the morning. They came home drenched in sweat and took a refreshing shower. Mu Shanming threw Ning Bishu's dirty clothes into the washing machine and then took out clothes he had personally bought for Ning Bishu, making her change into them, effectively taking over some of the duties of Bi Guifen who lived upstairs.

Before 8 o'clock, the two arrived at the law firm downstairs.

Mu Shanming's rented office is about 80 square meters, much smaller than the one in Beijing. He just did a quick, simple renovation in the last couple of days, replacing the ceiling, moving in a few sets of tables and chairs, and redoing the reception area. Behind the reception area is still the He Chen Law Firm sign.

Ning Bishu walked into the office, looked around, and nodded slightly. "It's alright."

"It'll do," Mu Shanming replied casually, picking up his phone to order takeout. "After get off work tonight, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some things. I'll make breakfast for you from now on. All the takeout here is pre-made, so it's better to buy some and heat it up yourself. It saves time and is convenient, and you don't have to worry about the food being expired or unclean."

Ning Bishu laughed and said, "Then you can ask my mom to do it. She's got nothing else to do anyway."

Mu Shanming was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked up to ask, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

“You didn’t ask,” Ning Bishu said. “Maybe my mom is upstairs cooking right now.”

He glanced at the time, put his hands behind his back, and walked into the law firm.

The small law firm was divided into four small rooms. Mu Shanming and Ye Jingyang each had a room, there was also a small reception room that doubled as a tea room, and a tiny room that could only fit a table and chair.

"Whose small room is this?" Ning Bishu asked.

Mu Shanming glanced at it and replied, "It's from the finance department. I called them from Beijing."

"Oh~" Ning Bishu nodded, "Anyone else?"

"There's also a receptionist." As soon as Mu Shanming finished speaking, the young receptionist walked in.

Ning Bishu turned his head and saw that it really was the receptionist from BJ Hechen Law Firm.

"Good morning, Attorney Mu!" The receptionist greeted her with a smile. Turning her head, she saw Ning Bishu there as well, and a hint of gossip flickered in her eyes as she called out, "Hello, Mr. Ning."

"Hello." Ning Bishu smiled faintly, speaking in a familiar tone, "When did you arrive? Have you found a place to live?"

The receptionist said, "I found it. Lawyer Ye, Sister Du, and I share a small apartment in the neighborhood next door."

Ning Bishu asked, "Sister Du is your accountant, right?"

"Yes, yes! They start work at 9, so I have to come early," the receptionist explained, then chattered on, "We've been incredibly busy these past few days. In Beijing, we're handing over our work while packing and moving, and a lot of things are still on their way and haven't been shipped yet. There's also renovation work going on here, and we have to clean our own place too. Ugh, we're so busy we're completely overwhelmed."

"Haha."

Ning Bishu smiled and said, "Then let Attorney Ye do more work. He's got women on both sides now, he has to pay a price for it."

"No way, what do you mean by having women on both sides..." The receptionist was quite easily amused, and she gave a coquettish look.

Mu Shanming couldn't help but interrupt, "Ning Bishu, what nonsense are you talking about? Office romances aren't allowed in our law firm. There are only four of us. If another team forms, how will we get any work done?"

"It's okay, I'm here. Who would dare to bully you just because there are more of them? I'll back you up, honey."

Ning Bishu naturally put his arm around Mu Shanming's waist.

The receptionist was shocked, thinking to herself that even a strong woman like Attorney Mu had been conquered by President Ning.

This President Ning must have some extraordinary strengths.

She didn't dare look any longer and quickly sat down to pretend to be dead.

Ning Bishu didn't waste any resources and said directly to Mu Shanming, "Mingming, if you have time today, please draft a share transfer agreement for me later. I want to transfer my shares in Qianming Consulting from my personal account to Bishu Holdings."

Mu Shanming asked curiously, "Is it necessary?"

Ning Bishu said, "Once the company is established, it needs to be used."

“Okay…” Mu Shanming said, “I’ll ask Zhang Junjun later. If he says it’s no problem, I’ll get it done for you.”

Ning Bishu said, "He said it's no problem, so you're going to do it for me? That sounds a little strange."

Mu Shanming rolled his eyes at him.

I really wanted to complain, but I held back.

After all, if you scold your own man in front of your subordinates, isn't that the same as scolding yourself?
Mu Shanming still has that much sense of propriety.

Ning Bishu had nothing to do, so he went to the tea room.

He finished a game of TIMI in no time, and his takeout arrived. He ate a simple breakfast. Around 9:40, a middle-aged man in his thirties and a young man in his early twenties arrived at the law firm together.

He immediately said he was looking for Ning Bishu.

Ning Bishu then chuckled and ushered them into the tea room, explaining, "Our office is in the XX Building on Jiangbin Road, but the key is still with the Jiangbin Subdistrict Office. We'll need to clean and tidy it up a bit in the next couple of days, and do some minor renovations. But it's not a big problem, because for this project, we don't need the office for the next few days."

These two men, both in their early twenties, are Di Guofeng's nephews and are currently seniors in college, majoring in business administration. They had recently been interning in another subdistrict of the district as so-called "college student village officials."

The 30-year-old was XXX's nephew. He looked even more naive than Di Guofeng's nephew, with an arrogant expression. It was hard to tell whether he was there to work or to act like a big shot.

But that didn't matter, since Ning Bishu didn't need these two old men to do any work anyway. After explaining the situation, Ning Bishu asked XXX's nephew, "Friend, what's your name?"

XXX's nephew, as if returning home, leisurely lit a cigarette and said indifferently, "Zhan Zhao."

Ning Bishu blinked: "Friend, is this the Zhan Zhao I know?"

"Hmm." Zhan Zhao exhaled a puff of smoke. "When my mom gave birth to me, that TV series was all the rage, wasn't it..."

"How old are you, elder brother?"

"Three years? What happened?"

"Haha, you're a couple of years older than me." Ning Bishu immediately turned to Di Guofeng's nephew and asked, "Then you must be Gongsun Ce?"

"What Gongsun Ce?"

Di Guofeng's nephew looked puzzled, completely unaware of what Ning Bishu was talking about, and honestly replied, "My name is Ma Chao."

"Huh? Why not Ma Han?" "And what is Ma Han?"

"It's nothing... No, are you guys naming your kids this casually these days?"

"It wasn't entirely random," Ma Chao said. "Because my dad likes Ma Chao."

Zhan Zhao joked, "Your dad likes to drive at high speed, right?"

Ma Chao looked speechless: "Of course it's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, buddy!"

Zhan Zhao then asked, "Why do you like Ma Chao? Shouldn't a normal person like Zhao Yun?"

Ma Chao said, "Liking Zhao Yun is useless. I can't exactly change my name to Ma Yun, can I?"

"..." Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, that makes so much sense!"

Ning Bishu just watched these two guys talking nonsense.

Just then, the receptionist outside opened the door and brought in several cups of hot tea.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao turned to Ning Bishu and asked, "Little Ning, did you also open this law firm?"

“No, it’s my lawyer Mu Shanming’s.” Ning Bishu pointed to the next room.

Mu Shanming is currently on the phone with Zhang Junjun.

"Your home?" Zhan Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have a girlfriend?"

Ning Bishu laughed and said, "You know that too?"

"How could I not know?" Zhan Zhao said. "I've been watching you argue with people online for a month straight, and Guo Chen still hasn't eaten shit. I'm more anxious than you are. And Tao Tao... damn, Xiao Ning, you're awesome! Really awesome!"

He repeatedly gave Ning Bishu a thumbs-up.

Ning Bishu finally understood why this big shot's nephew was still unable to find a job even in his thirties.

Damn it, you didn't even think about bringing your brain with you when you went out!
"Personal matters shouldn't be discussed today." Ning Bishu thought for a moment and then asked Zhan Zhao directly, "Zhao, did you come here to do something, or is it just to lend your name?"

Zhan Zhao immediately replied, "Of course I have to do something! My uncle said you'd pay me 10,000 a month, I can't just take such a high salary for nothing, can I?"

When the hell did I ever say I'd give you ten thousand?
Ning Bishu stared wide-eyed, "XXX, you've gone a bit too far!"

Before Ning Bishu could retort, Zhan Zhao continued, "Little Ning, just tell me what you need to do for this project. To be honest, I may not have many other skills, but I'm quite good at finding people to help me."

"Look at my WeChat, I have over 2000 friends. I know everyone in every department in the city, down to the counties! My whole family, except for me, works in government offices. Just tell me what you want to do, and I'll find it for you right away!"

No, buddy, judging from your veteran unemployed demeanor, you seem quite proud of yourself?

Ning Bishu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm looking for someone to write an app for me for free. Can you find one?"

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao immediately revealed a face full of disdain.

"That's all? I thought it was something bigger..."

He had a cigarette in his mouth and started scrolling through his WeChat friend list.

After searching for a short while, I found someone and dialed their number directly.

"Hey, Professor Huang, it's me! Zhan Zhao! I met you two years ago, I'm XXX's nephew! Here's the thing, I have a big project here, money's no problem! I'd like to ask you for some technical support, to write an app, it's super easy! It's a piece of cake for you! Everyone knows your skills are top-notch in X Prefecture..."

Zhan Zhao blew on the phone for a while, then suddenly handed it to Ning Bishu, "Professor Huang, let my company's CEO Ning talk to you!"

Ning Bishu passively took the phone.

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the name on my phone.

"Uncle, it's me, Ashu! That guy was my new recruit... my company's public relations director, um, yes, XXX's nephew, introduced by Di Guofeng. Um, um, Qingqing told you? Yes, he just registered yesterday."

"Yes, we need to make an app now. It's all about the Internet+. If you don't make an app these days, you can't even call it a startup."

"Are you free now? Okay, I'll come to your place now. Are you at school?"

"Okay, okay, see you in a bit."

After Ning Bishu finished his call, he handed the phone back to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao's mind went blank. "Damn, Xiao Ning, this is amazing!"

“That’s why I’m your CEO Ning.” Ning Bishu patted Zhan Zhao on the shoulder.

He picked up his phone and called Zhang Long, "Brother Long, come to work."

“Okay!” Zhang Long immediately agreed.

Ning Bishu ignored Ma Chao and Zhan Zhao, walked out of the room, and went to the next room.

He pushed open the door to Mu Shanming's office and went inside, saying to her, "I'm going to XX University."

The small office room was practically soundproof; Mu Shanming could hear Ning Bishu and a few others talking next door in the morning.

She nodded and said crisply, "Okay. I asked Zhang Junjun, and he has no objections. I'll get the share transfer paperwork done for you today. Come home early for dinner tonight."

"Mmm." Ning Bishu smiled and leaned over.

Their lips touched.

Turning around again, I saw Zhan Zhao and Ma Chao standing outside the door.

Ning Bishu walked out calmly and closed the door behind him.

Zhan Zhao, his eyes filled with admiration, said to Ning Bishu, "Little Ning, you're awesome!"

Ma Chao nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying, "Boss! Teach me!"
