Chapter 298 So simple!
As Peng Ming's words fell, the atmosphere in the bedroom instantly quieted down, marked by a fair share of awkwardness and repression.
Ling Fan was a bit curious; seeing Peng Ming's attitude, he seemed to have a notable disdain for this fellow, and couldn't help but take a closer look at Qiu Xu.
Upon noticing this, Qi Xueping couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. These two always looked at each other with displeasure, with Peng Ming ridiculing Qiu Xu every time they met.
Qiu Xu, of course, also disliked Peng Ming, but due to his status, he didn't dare show it openly.
"You little brat, can't you speak properly!" Peng Xiong chided his son without good humor.
But it was just a scolding remark after all, because he knew that this youngster Qiu Xu had pursued Qi Xueping in secret, and his heart naturally sided with his son.
As the chairman of the Tianlong Business Association, there were many things he simply turned a blind eye to; how could he be completely oblivious, as if he knew nothing!
The moment Qiu Xu stepped through the door, he was mocked and ridiculed by Peng Ming, immediately stoking a fire in his heart, especially upon hearing Peng Ming's scornful remarks about him being a third-generation "Family Slave," which was a thorn in his heart and his greatest taboo.
Qiu Xu suppressed the fury in his heart, a cold glint flickered in the depths of his eyes, but he smiled and said, "Young Master, you are biased against me. I came here sincerely to see you, but if you dislike it, I will leave first and let you recover in peace!"
Saying this, he greeted Peng Xiong with a nod, "Chairman, I won't irritate the Young Master any further; there are still matters to attend to in the Association, I will take my leave now!"
Peng Xiong nodded and comforted him, "Alright, this little brat is just like this; don't take it to heart!"
Qiu Xu smiled and then left the room.
"Pah, a mere servant thinking he can turn over a new leaf and wear the dragon robe, truly damn wishful thinking!
Damn it, I tell you, as long as I, Peng Ming, am here, you can forget about your grand delusions!" Peng Ming cursed irritably.
Qiu Xu, who was at the door, suddenly paused, his eyes flashing with venomous spite, then he disappeared from the doorway.
Ling Fan shook his head inwardly. Even if Peng Ming looked down on the other party, he shouldn't insult him like that!
If it's an enemy, it would be better to just kill them directly. Such actions would only bury a deeper hatred in the other party's heart.

But this was the Tianlong Business Association's family affair, and as an outsider, he shouldn't get too involved. He simply reminded Peng Ming with a word of caution, "You've been with me for quite a while, don't end up capsizing in the gutter. If you can't handle it, keep your head down; I can't help you for your whole life!"
Peng Xiong was startled upon hearing this. Peng Ming's friend was truly not simple!
Qi Xueping's heart skipped a beat as well, sensing a hidden meaning in Ling Fan's words, as if he also had a certain distaste for Qiu Xu.
Where would she know that before Qiu Xu left, the flicker of vindictiveness in his eyes did not escape Ling Fan's notice.
Peng Ming took a deep breath and said sheepishly, "Boss, don't worry, I'm aware of what's at stake!"
"Hmm, as long as you're aware, that's good. I'm returning to Binzhou tomorrow. Pay more attention, and if there's anything you can't resolve, give me a call!
Also, if things go well, the Central Sea business that your sister-in-law is handling will be given to you to manage, no problems, right?" Ling Fan pondered for a moment before speaking out.
After pondering for a while, he thought that it would be better to entrust it to Peng Ming, which would also help to stabilize his position in the Association. The business in Central Sea would surely not be minor in the future.
Upon hearing this, Peng Ming was immediately excited, "Boss, don't worry. Wherever sister-in-law points, I'll strike, and I'll ensure everything's handled smoothly!"
Afterward, Ling Fan and Peng Xiong left the room and returned to the living room.
Upon seeing Ling Fan's return, Xiao Chubing inwardly breathed a sigh of relief; if he hadn't come back, she would have felt overwhelmed, as Hu Mengqiu was just too enthusiastic!
One moment she was asking if they were married, the next she was inquiring when they would have children, and even went on to impart her experience in childcare, leaving Xiao Chubing somewhat at a loss!
Seeing Ling Fan's return, she felt as though she had seen a savior and quickly said, "Peng Ming is alright, isn't he!"
"He's fine; tough as nails, not so easy to kill! By the way, you should talk to Chairman Peng about the Central Sea business.
If possible, consider cooperating with the Tianlong Business Association, but I have one condition: all specific matters should be handled by Peng Ming, I don't trust anyone else!" Ling Fan emphasized again.
When they arrived, Ling Fan had already discussed this with her, and naturally, Xiao Chubing had no objections. It didn't matter who she cooperated with, Ling Fan's network was so extensive, and being able to cooperate with the Tianlong Business Association certainly saved her a lot of trouble, which she welcomed with open arms!
Hu Mengqiu stood by, slightly astonished, not expecting to encounter such good fortune, especially upon learning that Ling Fan intended to let that youngster Peng Ming take charge, she felt truly grateful.
Xiao Chubing didn't hesitate; she immediately began discussing the general direction of the cooperation and related matters with Peng Xiong, with Hu Mengqiu occasionally nodding in agreement.
In this partnership, Tian Yun would take the leading position, holding onto the decisive stake and say on Ling Fan's side, with the Tianlong Business Association mainly contributing manpower and effort, which was also a way to look after and help Xiao Chubing.
Ling Fan felt grateful. He couldn't let others invest money while he reaped the benefits for free. There would be a huge debt of gratitude if he did all the work and took all the good fortune for himself.
Tian Yun was primarily short of manpower at the moment, and the Tianlong Business Association's willingness to assist was already giving him considerable face, considering that, in terms of commercial might, Tian Yun still couldn't compare to them.
Before long, the two sides had agreed on the general framework of the partnership, with the Tianlong Business Association holding a share of the stakes. A detailed contract would be drawn up later for further negotiation.
In the end, Peng Xiong slapped his thigh, "Young Master Ling, Miss Xiao, there's no need for complexity. As long as we don't touch the capital, I can decide on everything!
No need to worry about others in the Association; we're just contributing effort, without involving the interests of others, so nobody will care. Especially since we're letting Peng Ming lead, there are probably many waiting to see him fail!
However you arrange it, I agree to all. No need to check the documents, just let me know when to sign; I trust you both!"
Xiao Chubing was stunned upon hearing this. It was her first time encountering such trust!
"How about you send a lawyer then? I think it's still better to have a look!" Xiao Chubing cautiously said.
"Heh, with Young Master Ling's status, there's no need to deceive us, it doesn't matter. I'll send a lawyer just for formality!" Peng Xiong was in high spirits.
Xiao Chubing looked at Ling Fan, nodded, and wondered why everything seemed so simple with Ling Fan by her side!
