THE BLIND LOVER

Chapter 123: Delight

Although he looked down on this group of people who came up to him to strike up a conversation, Shi Yong enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people trying to curry favor with him.

He restrained his smile and raised his wrist to look at his watch, then, he said, “I’ve been quite busy recently. How about this? Whoever would like to discuss business with me, just contact my secretary after the banquet. I’ll have to go now for I still need to iron out the details of the merger with the people from Glory World.”

Shi Yong pulled away from the crowd. He still felt dizzy from the compliments and praises. He took two steps forward and saw Zhao Jian walking over.

“Mr. Shi, several companies have contacted us and with the intention for collaboration. They’ve all placed large orders. Our company urgently needs money now. If the factory has enough funds to invest, we can work overtime to start production. What do you think…”

Shi Yong hurriedly asked, “What did the bank say?”

“They’ve agreed to a loan. However, the amount you asked for is too much. They said that we can only borrow with collateral.”

“Hmph, we are joining Glory World soon. These banks don’t know what they’re doing. That’s all the money they’re willing to borrow?”

Shi Yong patted his full stomach and said lazily, “Then mortgage all properties under my ownership to the banks. Let’s take in a few big businesses now. When the factory starts production, we’ll make up for the financial chain that was broken before. Do not allow the people from Glory World to check our accounts. This way, when we finally negotiate with them, I can also ask for a higher price.”

Glory World had taken a fancy to Shi Yong’s small company. Initially, he found it hard to believe and even felt flattered. After all, Glory World was a large company that had rapidly risen to become a leader in their industry in recent years. Even in M City, the Shi Corporation was nothing but a tiny privately-owned business.

However, after a few days of emotional roller coaster ride, he felt that he could do it again. He was even prepared to sign a few big deals before the merger with Glory World. When the time came to negotiate the contract, he would have more confidence in negotiating the terms.

Although the company underwent huge losses, it did not matter. The company had much potential. Glory World must have taken a liking to Shi Corporation’s development potential and his outstanding entrepreneurial mind, only then did they have the foresight to merge with Shi Corporation… Shi Yong thought proudly.

Moreover, he still had Qin Yu’s hundreds of millions of betrothal money and the inheritance left behind by her parents. Although he had not gotten it yet, he had raised Qin Yu for so many years. He was her only family left in the world. Who else could she give this money to if not him?

How much money could a fool spend? The Ning family would just feed her for the rest of her life. This money could also be considered as her repayment for all the hard work he had put in raising her for so many years. This was what he deserved.

The more Shi Yong thought about it, the more he felt relaxed. However, when he was about to arrive at his house, he suddenly remembered that his biological daughter, Shi Xiao, had yet to be found.

Qu Li had been quarreling with him all these days, and she had almost gotten into a fight with him.

“You’re so heartless. Your daughter has been missing for so many days, and you’re thinking about your lousy company? Don’t you feel sorry for Xiaoxiao? I was really blind back then. How could I have gotten together with you! Get lost!”

Every time he went home, he would be taught a good lesson by Qu Li.

But what could he do? He had already called the police and posted a missing person notice. He just could not find her!

The more Shi Yong thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He instructed the driver, “Go to the hair salon!”

He had gone to Xinxin Hair Salon with a client previously. It wasn’t merely a hair salon, but also contained a bathhouse, a spa, a massage parlor, and various other services.

But the client mysteriously told him that the “service” at Xinxin was the best.

At first, Shi Yong didn’t quite understand what “service” meant. It wasn’t until he went in and a few scantily-clad women approached him that he finally understood.

Of course, Shi Yong refused at first. He wanted to leave immediately, but the client stopped him and said that if he didn’t want to enjoy it, he could simply go for a hair wash.

Then, the client hugged a sexy, curvy shampoo girl and went into the other room.

Shi Yong watched the door close and felt a strange feeling in his heart, but then he reminded himself that he was a man with a family.

The salon arranged for Shi Yong to have a younger woman. The little girl looked to be in her early twenties, and she looked very naive, unlike other women who dressed up quite fancily.

Only then did Shi Yong feel a little more comfortable. He lay on the bed and was about to close his eyes to enjoy the service when he felt the hands of the young lady shaking.

“What happened?” Shi Yong asked in confusion.

“I… I’m new here. The Lady Boss said that if I don’t perform well, I won’t have to come tomorrow.” As the young lady spoke, she started crying.
