Having traveled through time, shouldn't you make a splash in your life?

Ning Dongyang, having blacked out from drinking, immediately began to suspect himself.

Did he bully Shangguan Qingke last night?

You can't just ask directly.

Don't panic, don't panic.

Oh, right, the Eye of Profound Understanding.

Name: Shangguan Qingke

Age: 22

【Height: 169】

【Favorites: 92】

Appearance rating: 95

Number of participants: 0

The number of people is still zero.

Ning Dongyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wow, the favorability rating is rising so fast! Before watching the movie last night, it was around 88 points. Watching a movie shouldn't have made it break 90, but it rose to 92 points.

He must have been eating a late-night snack... The key point is that he drank himself into oblivion.

It is said that drinking leads to trouble.

Seeing Ning Dongyang staring at her without saying a word for a long time, Shangguan Qingke reached out and pulled him to sit on the sofa: "Ning Dongyang."

"If someone tries to bully me, you'll protect me, right?"

Ning Dongyang nodded vigorously and said crisply, "Yes."

Based on the fact that Shangguan Qingke has a 92-point favorability rating towards him, he cannot hesitate for even a moment.

[Emotion +9.]

Shangguan Qing smiled and said, "Ning Dongyang, you're so kind."

Ning Dongyang patted his chest and said jokingly, "If anyone dares to bully my Qingke, I'll go up and put him in a sack and beat him up first, then I'll dig up his ancestral graves and scatter his great-grandmother and great-grandfather's ashes."

*Pfft*

Knowing that Ning Dongyang was trying to make her happy, Shangguan Qing was amused: "Those who bully me include members of the Shangguan family."

"My great-grandfather and great-grandmother were very good to me when I was little, and their ashes must not be scattered."

Ning Dongyang frowned slightly: "Is our own people bullying each other?"

Think about it.

In large families, members often commit murder without shedding blood for a little bit of profit.

Shangguan Qingke slowly explained to Ning Dongyang.

"Didn't I say that day that I have a marriage partner, someone from the Zhang family in Shanghai?"

"He followed me to Jiangcheng, but I ignored him."

"He's birds of a feather with my uncle's third son, and I don't know how he managed to bewitch my uncle. My uncle is the head of the Shangguan family group, and now he's completely on his side."

"He wants me to go to Hongshi Restaurant at noon today and have lunch with him. Lunch? This isn't lunch, it's pushing me into a fire pit."

"I said I wouldn't go, there's no future for us."

"My uncle threatened me that if I didn't go, he would have my agency, Xinghai Entertainment, freeze my career. So what if I'm frozen? It's no big deal. I don't have to be a star."

"What's most infuriating is that my uncle, in the name of the family, wants to buy back the shares I own in the family."

Ning Dongyang listened quietly.

Shangguan Qing explained in detail: "Did Sister Li Luo tell you that we people in the family group will own a certain number of shares?"

"These shares cannot be sold privately."

"After we reach adulthood, we will receive dividends every five years from the shares we own in the family group."

"Based on the Shangguan family group's market value of over 100 billion, and with dividends distributed every five years, I would probably receive 40 to 50 million, which would be enough to live comfortably."

These are the children of a large family.

No special skills are required; just a dividend every five years brings in 40 to 50 million, an amount many people could never earn in a lifetime.

As long as one doesn't get involved with certain things, a dividend of 40 to 50 million every five years, just as Shangguan Qingke said, is enough to ensure a worry-free life.

Shangguan Qingke smiled coldly and continued, "I've figured it out. Uncle's move was incredibly vicious."

"I agree to the family marriage and marry Zhang Hongyu from Shanghai. This will allow me to establish a close partnership with the Zhang family in Shanghai, and my uncle, the head of the group, will naturally not object."

"If I disagree with the family marriage, don't give my uncle face, and don't go to this treacherous banquet with Zhang Hongyu, my uncle will take the opportunity to take back my shares in the family group."

"For so-called large families like ours, if family strategy requires it, we can forcibly buy shares from our children, at a price almost the same as robbery."

Then, looking at Ning Dongyang, she asked, "Do you know how much money your uncle is planning to spend to buy back my family's shares?"

With dividends of 40 to 50 million every five years, and during normal acquisitions, multiplying that by 10 to 20 times, shouldn't be a problem?

Before Ning Dongyang could speak, Shangguan Qingke held up one finger: "Ten million."

"Haha, my uncle gave me ten million!!"

Ning Dongyang clenched his fist: "Your uncle is truly a good uncle."

"Qingke, where are your parents? Your uncle is going too far like this, aren't your parents standing up for him?"

"Even if there is an arranged marriage, your parents' opinion is the most important thing."

Shangguan Qingke's face fell: "They're gone."

They died when I was ten years old.

Ning Dongyang felt a lump in his throat.

A large family with a market value of hundreds of billions will have no shortage of direct and indirect descendants. In the back-and-forth calculations, it's like the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber, where only the two stone lions at the gate are clean, and even the cats and dogs are not clean.

Having lost her parents at the age of ten, and growing up in a family that appeared prosperous but was actually rife with intrigue, she still managed to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude.

These past few years have been very difficult for Shangguan Qing.

Ning Dongyang stretched out his arms and gently pulled Shangguan Qingke into his embrace, patting her back: "Qingke, you still have me."

[Emotion +9.]

[Emotion +9.]

Shangguan Qingke reached out and hugged Ning Dongyang tightly: "Brother-in-law, I'm prepared to ask for ten million."

Her choice of ten million meant that the family shares were reclaimed, and she would receive no more dividends.

Not only do they not enjoy the resources of their family, but as celebrities, they are also sidelined by their company.

It seems like a simple choice, but how many people can actually do it?

"I have about seven million in cash on hand, and I also have two endorsement deals I just signed. I could have made thirteen million a year, but if Xinghai Entertainment freezes my career, those two endorsements will be void."

"Seven million plus ten million, I have seventeen million. Saving it up and earning interest... that's enough."

"Ning Dongyang, you're starting a business, are you short of money? How about I give you all seventeen million?"

Ning Dongyang was deeply moved.

Shangguan Qing refused to follow his family's arranged marriage. He only had 17 million in assets. They had previously said they wanted to deposit the money in the bank to earn interest, but now they wanted him to start a business.

The meaning behind a woman's willingness to give you all her wealth is self-evident.

Ning Dongyang wouldn't take her money.

He earns millions a day now, and that will continue to increase; he's certainly not short of money.

However, his refusal and his willingness to give are two different things.

He freed one hand and pinched Shangguan Qingke's cheek: "What, you're giving me all the money to start a business? Aren't you afraid I'll lose everything? After all, I've been at home for three years and am somewhat out of touch with society. The risk of failing in a business is not small."

Shangguan Qing pressed his hand down and gently placed it on her face: "Don't be afraid."

"If you lose money, you lose money."

"Who can start a business with a smooth journey?"

"We're really broke. We're still able-bodied; we can deliver food or set up a street stall and we won't starve. Hey, Ning Dongyang, you're a great cook; your food stall would be a huge success."

Like a kitten, Shangguan Qingke rubbed her face against Ning Dongyang's hand: "I'll give you all the money, and you'll have to support me from now on."

"I'm easy to take care of."

"Are you willing?"
