Ning Ge gave Qi Xiaoqi a share certificate. Although it was only ten percent, Cheng Su knew that as long as Ning Ge’s business didn’t collapse, even ten percent would be enough for Qi Xiaoqi to live comfortably in the future.

And as long as Qi Xiaoqi wasn’t a dissolute scion, this ten percent would be enough for him to squander. Besides, would Ning Ge’s business really crash?

The Ning family and Cheng family, and there’s Zhou Jun involved too. Aren’t all of them connected to both the military and government? Especially the Ning family, with such connections, if their business still can’t flourish, then there’s nothing more to say—might as well go back home and live off their parents until death.

"... You’re really generous, seriously, this share is enough. It’s the thought that counts, saves others from getting jealous and complaining about you. After all, it’s not just your business," Cheng Su said.

Ning Ge shrugged indifferently: "What’s the big deal about this? Just between our three families, the Cheng family is a given. Xiao Qi is even their nephew. As for Zhou Jun? Don’t be fooled by his dissolute nature, he’s the third generation military, he has connections. Get acquainted now, so in the future Xiao Qi can easily do whatever he wants."

Cheng Su was speechless.

"As for this ten percent, I’m also paying for it, it’s not for free!" Ning Ge continued, even though he acted like a bit of a bandit, he still put in money.

"You always have an excuse for everything," Cheng Su scolded him.

Ning Ge laughed cheekily and said, "Actually, doing business, making money is secondary. The key is to establish good connections. Do you think Zhou Jun really cares about this money? The Cheng family wouldn’t either. It’s just a matter of combining interests from a few families; the relationships are there. In this era, although officialdom and business are not separate, in terms of ranking, officials come first. Power is always bigger than commerce."

Cheng Su agreed with this, so anyone in an official position tries hard to climb up.

"Just hold onto it for now, it’s just starting out," Ning Ge said.

"Then thank you on behalf of the kid," Cheng Su accepted and said to her son, "Make sure to thank your godfather, give him a peck, leave some slobber on him."

"No!" Ning Ge immediately handed the child back to her.

Cheng Su giggled and asked, "You’ve got the business going, but what about your love life? Have you wooed Miss Song yet?"

When Song Jiaying was mentioned, Ning Ge’s face darkened. He said, "Don’t bring her up. I got what I wanted, but she left!"

"Huh?" Cheng Su was gossipy. What did he mean by that?

Ning Ge was a bit embarrassed and said, "It’s just that. Now she says she’s gone abroad, no idea when she’ll return. Forget it, I wasn’t that into her anyway."

Cheng Su raised her eyebrows and said, "That sounds a bit like sour grapes. Actually, as a man, you should be proactive. Like I said, go chase after her! I think you two are a good match."

"I’ll think about it. I’m busy right now," Ning Ge scratched his head and checked the time. "I need to go, still have to head to Hucheng for some business."

"Oh!"

After seeing Ning Ge off, Cheng Su looked at the share certificate again, picked up her son to show him, and said, "You really hit the jackpot, born in the best time. You’re so young and your assets are almost more than mine."

Qi Xiaoqi reached out to grab the share certificate in his hand, babbling and smiling broadly.

"You really look happy, if it were me, I’d be smiling too—you’re a rich second generation," Cheng Su gently pinched his cheek and lifted him up. "Your dad’s been out for a few days now. Wonder if he completed his mission? Do you miss him?"

Qi Xiaoqi turned his head away with disdain—who misses him?
