King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"Tingting, Daddy's downstairs! What's wrong?" I asked anxiously, holding the phone.

“Wuwu!”

Tingting cried on the phone, "My biological dad came and won't leave the living room, sob sob! Two teachers from school are here too, sob sob! They're all trying to persuade my mom and dad to remarry, sob sob! The aunt he married died in the hospital last night after failing to respond to treatment... sob sob!"

"Tingting, don't cry! Daddy's coming upstairs right away!"

......

After hanging up the hands-free call, Xu Meijuan and I immediately got out of the car, entered the building, and took the elevator.

"Damn it! I've never seen such a heartless bastard! He left his own daughter to die without helping, and his new wife's body is barely cold before he's trying to get back together with his ex-wife!"

I'm utterly speechless about Wang Hai! It's truly a case of "The most righteous are often the lowly butchers, the most ruthless are often the scholars!"

"Um!"

Xu Meijuan frowned, her eyes darting around. "This reminds me that we still need to assign someone to protect this bastard... If he 'accidentally' dies, Teacher Sun's daughter will be doomed!"

"Yes! This time, Song Guolong invested in the agricultural project and even changed the group's name. Xu Shaokun is disgusted by this, and he might retaliate..."

.....

When I arrived at my house, I unlocked the door with my key.

Inside the house, Wang Hai knelt in the living room, his face streaked with tears and looking utterly miserable. Two people sat on the sofa: Zhou Fuhai, the dean of our College of Animal Science, and... well, that was my mentor, Professor Zhao Huiping!

Teacher Sun was sitting on a single sofa with a bandage on her head, her face turned to the side, refusing to look at Wang Hai's cowardly appearance!

Upon seeing me, my mentor, Professor Zhao, was completely stunned: "Xiao Song? What brings you here?"

"Well......"

Before I could give an awkward reply, Ms. Sun immediately stood up, walked to my side, and took my arm.

This scene left the three doctoral supervisors and top animal science experts completely dumbfounded!

Wang Hai stood up in astonishment! His eyes were filled with disbelief!

I guess he thought yesterday... that I was just an ordinary student taught by Teacher Sun.

Or perhaps, it was also a patient visiting an ophthalmologist...

Because I spent most of my time in the pigsty during my graduate studies, he didn't know me very well.

But now Teacher Sun is holding my arm and pressing her body tightly against me, looking like a wronged little wife. What else can I say?

"Uh... Teacher Zhao!"

I avoided Wang Hai's shocked and angry gaze and explained to my bewildered mentor, "Professor Sun Fangfang is now my fiancée, and we're getting married soon..."

The three old men's eyes widened in disbelief!

Wang Hai yelled even louder, "You're a student at the Agricultural University? Old Zhao! Is this the person you're mentoring?"

"Tsk! Oh dear!"

Teacher Zhao clicked her tongue in frustration, her face contorted with disbelief: "Little Song! How could you...? Are you kidding me! Dean Wang is my senior! Teacher Sun is your aunt, how could you be with your aunt? Oh dear! This is ridiculous!"

"Fangfang? How can you still be fooling around with students?" Wang Hai asked in shock.

"Dean Wang!"

I frowned and said, "Isn't that most fitting for you? Feng Caiping, isn't she also your student?"

Wang Hai's face turned green with anger!

"Tsk! Little Song!"

Teacher Zhao also sided with Wang Hai, frowning and scolding me: "How dare you speak to Dean Wang like that? You have no manners at all!"

"Dean Zhou, you saw it..."

Wang Hai trembled with rage: "Is this the kind of graduate student our school produces? Seducing a professor's wife? Morally depraved? The degree evaluation committee should revoke his degree!"

When Dean Zhou is seen at the school, he always appears as a kind, approachable, and refined scholar.

Now, he looks at me with cold disdain... as if I had ruined his daughter.

As expected... the vulnerable will always be the vulnerable!

In their eyes, I will always be that poor graduate student who can be driven around and exploited at will.

"Dean Zhou!"

Professor Sun turned her face to Dean Zhou with a serious expression and said, "I'm divorced! Who I marry is my own business! National law doesn't say I can't marry my student, does it? Besides, the degree evaluation has nothing to do with who this student marries, does it?"

"Teacher Sun!"

Dean Zhou frowned and pondered, "What you say makes sense, but what is legal is not necessarily reasonable, and what is reasonable is not necessarily ethical. You are a female teacher, an outstanding teacher in our school, a recipient of the March 8th Red Banner Award, and a May 1st Labor Medal. Marrying your own student... If this gets out in the school, it will indeed have a very bad influence! Of course!"

He then changed the subject, saying, "Wang Hai's mistake is even bigger! I'm not defending him! But the problem is, he already knows he's wrong and is prepared to change. We can't just compound his mistakes, can we? You and Lao Wang have been married for ten years. Even if you hate him, you don't have to resort to this method, do you? We always advise reconciliation, not separation. Giving the child a complete family is better for the child's mental and physical health, don't you agree?"

Wow! He really is a top-notch doctoral supervisor!

This sophistry left both me and Teacher Sun speechless!

"Dean Zhou..."

Just as I was about to speak, Xu Meijuan stopped me, walked forward with a smile, and shook hands with Dean Zhou: "Dean Zhou, hello!"

Dean Zhou was taken aback, then reluctantly shook hands with Xu Meijuan while sitting, frowning: "And you are?"

"Giggle giggle!"

Xu Meijuan laughed and said, "You really have a bad memory! I'm Xu Meijuan from Hengdai Real Estate. We've met before. That year, at the Science and Technology Bureau's banquet for promoting agricultural innovation, you even toasted Lao Gao..."

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Dean Zhou, realizing what was happening, trembled and quickly stood up. "It's Boss Xu! Oh my! What brings you here? I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry to have troubled you today! Oh my! This... this...? So embarrassing! Mayor Gao must be quite busy lately, I haven't seen him in a long time..."

There's an old saying that goes, "Humans are base, and excrement is stinky," and that's true for all time!

The way Dean Zhou looked at me was like he was looking at a lame dog eating garbage in a garbage dump, his eyes full of disdain and indifference.

But at this moment, facing Xu Meijuan, he was like a naive child who had met a high-ranking leader and didn't know where to put his hands...

Mayor's wife, are you joking?

In Dean Zhou's eyes, if I, Song Cheng, am a brick in the latrine of the Agricultural University, then Xu Meijuan is the bright sky above Dean Zhou's head!

Gao Kai is the vice mayor in charge of education, sports, healthcare, and people's livelihood.

Zhou Fuhai could be crushed with a single finger.

The mayor's wife's impression of you is even more terrifying than the mayor's attitude!

After all, women are petty and narrow-minded. If you offend them... the hatred will last forever!

What's more, Gao Kai is a fiercely protective husband!

My advisor, Zhao Huiping, was also quite adept at handling things. He quickly got off the sofa to make room for Xu Meijuan, while Dean Zhou stood obediently, not daring to sit down.

"Giggle giggle!"

Xu Meijuan smiled elegantly and said, "Sit down, sit down and let's talk..."

After hearing Xu Meijuan's words, the two old men nervously and awkwardly sat on other chairs in the living room, not daring to sit on the same sofa as Xu Meijuan.

"First of all..."

Xu Meijuan smiled and said, "I want to thank Dean Zhou and Professor Zhao. Thank you to our Agricultural University for cultivating such an outstanding graduate as Song Cheng for our group. He is now my assistant, with an annual salary of 60 yuan... his rank is equivalent to that of a branch general manager."

"Really!"

Dean Zhou looked at me with surprise, his face beaming: "Little Song, work hard under Boss Xu! I've actually known you for a while, and I even talked to your advisor about you. You're sure to be successful in the future! Right? Old Zhao, Little Song even published an SCI paper, didn't he?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

My mentor, Zhao Huiping, nodded repeatedly: "This kid is incredibly hardworking! He's been rooted in the breeding base for months on end, not leaving the pig farm at all."

At that moment, I looked at Wang Hai, and saw that in his evasive eyes, besides nervousness... there was even more fear!

I don't know how Xu Shaokun managed to control him.

But I know for sure that in his heart, Xu Shaokun's older sister is definitely more terrifying than Xu Shaokun!

"Giggle..."

Xu Meijuan crossed her legs and said, "Secondly, I think that as a civilized city, Jiangcheng should have at least some respect for women, right? Women's freedom of marriage is written into the law. Who Teacher Sun wants to marry is her freedom, isn't it? It should be respected, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Dean Zhou nodded his head vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's not just that we deserve respect, it's the standard of a civilized society!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

My advisor nodded repeatedly: "If you don't even respect this much, wouldn't you become like the local tyrants, bullies, and bandits of the old society?"

"Giggle giggle!"

Xu Meijuan smiled and said, "You are all great scholars and cultured people; you know more than I do..."

"No, no!"

"Boss Xu, please stop joking with us. We're just a bunch of pig farmers."

......

"Giggle giggle!"

Xu Meijuan laughed and said, "Raising pigs is great! Our group is thinking of cooperating with your agricultural university to develop and expand the breeding industry... Oh, by the way! The name of the 130 billion yuan agricultural project we invested in in the Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone is named after Song Cheng, it's called Dingcheng Group."

"Huh? Really?" Dean Zhou's eyes trembled with surprise.

My supervisor was both so surprised he couldn't close his mouth, and his eyes were full of joy!

Wang Hai, on the other hand, kept his head down in a state of high tension... his calves were trembling slightly.

"Little Song! No! Assistant Song!"

Dean Zhou, his face beaming with obsequious kindness, said, "You're the pride of our Agricultural University! Having such an outstanding graduate like you makes the entire College of Animal Science so proud! Old Zhao, you're amazing! No wonder Professor Sun wanted to marry Xiao Song!"

Needless to say, he showered my advisor with all sorts of flattering praise, and his nauseatingly sweet words made my anus itch!

"Okay!"

Xu Meijuan smiled and said, "Since everyone has no objections, let's not disturb Teacher Sun's rest any longer, shall we? After all, Teacher Sun is still injured... I heard it was Dean Wang's current wife who beat him up."

"Okay, okay! Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Xu, let's go! Teacher Sun, you should get some rest!"

"Mr. Xu, we're leaving now. Please give our regards to Mayor Gao!"

......

The two old guys immediately made their escape, and Wang Hai also wanted to slink away, but Xu Meijuan stopped him!

"Wang Hai, wait a minute!"

Xu Meijuan's words startled Wang Hai so much that he almost knelt down before her, turning to look at her with a miserable expression.

"Mr. Xu... what are your orders?"

"If you dare to harass Teacher Sun again, I'll break your legs!" Xu Meijuan warned with a look of disgust.

"I won't do it again! I won't do it again! I really won't do it again!"

"roll!"

......

Wang Hai slunk away from Teacher Sun's house. Teacher Sun could no longer hold back her emotions and threw herself into my arms, bursting into tears!

"Waaaah! Honey! Waaah!"

"It's alright, it's alright!"

I gently patted Ms. Sun's back, comforting her continuously.

Xu Meijuan then got up and came to our side, took Teacher Sun's hand, and hugged her again.

"My dear sister! Let's go inside, I want to whisper something to you..." Xu Meijuan said softly.

"Um!"

Although Ms. Sun did not understand what Xu Meijuan meant, she obediently nodded and then looked at me with a sorrowful expression, as if asking for my opinion.

"Okay! Go ahead!" I smiled at her.

Xu Meijuan took Teacher Sun's hand and led her into the master bedroom. Then she turned back and smiled at me, saying, "Don't eavesdrop! We're going to have a little private chat between sisters."

"Okay, okay!"

After Xu Meijuan closed the door to the master bedroom, I felt the urge to smoke, so I went out onto the balcony, opened the window, and lit a cigarette...

Just then, my phone rang. I saw it was my mom calling and answered it immediately.

"Feed? Mom!"

"Song Cheng, right!"

A strange man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
