Chapter 522: 430
"Boss Wei, long time no see, how have you been recently?" Tang Qing sat down and laughed, recalling the first time he shot a gun and killed someone to save Wei Jun. The memory was still fresh.
Seeing that the two knew each other, Tang Kai wasn’t surprised. Tang Qing was the second largest shareholder of Dream Melody Group, and Wei Jun used to be one of the suppliers of the group. It wasn’t strange for them to know each other.
"Boss Tang, thanks to your second uncle, my business has been decent recently." Wei Jun said with a bitter smile. In the past, he was the one helping Tang Kai and giving him opportunities. Now the tables have turned. While he had accepted this reality, the psychological gap wasn’t easy to bridge. It would take time.
However, what surprised him was where Tang Kai found enough money to let Tang Qing buy shares in the Dream Melody Group.
"That’s good. Second Uncle, I’ll go upstairs to check on Jiaxue. You guys continue chatting." Tang Qing was worried about Lin Jiaxue, who was losing blood. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
"Alright, you go." Tang Kai said.
After finishing speaking, Tang Qing quickly ran upstairs.
Seeing Tang Qing leave, Wei Jun slowly sat down and took a sip from his teacup.
"Xiao Jun, there’s no problem with our cooperation. Given our relationship, I’ll definitely save some good stuff for you. We can negotiate the price. You just need to focus on running your Jewelry Company and revitalizing the Wei Family. If you need any help, just let me know. After all, I watched you grow up. I owe a lot to your father’s care over so many years." Tang Kai reminisced.
Tang Kai was a man of gratitude. He had an unbreakable bond with Wei Jun’s father, Wei Xiong. Without Wei Xiong, Tang Kai wouldn’t be where he is today. Without the previous transactions, there wouldn’t be the ’transaction inertia’ triggered by Leader Ling.
Most of his wealth could be attributed to the Wei family.
He hoped that the Wei family could continue to develop well, and that Wei Jun could achieve success.
"Thank you, Uncle Tang. I won’t let you down." Wei Jun said firmly. To make a career for himself and to honor his father, he must strive for success.
Seeing this, Tang Kai nodded his head satisfactorily. He truly regarded Wei Jun as a younger generation, hoping that he could do well and become successful.
"Uncle Tang, how is....it over there now?" Wei Jun suddenly asked.
Tang Kai was momentarily stunned, then realized what Wei Jun meant, "It’s pretty good over there. Naidan is dead, turned to dust. Your father’s revenge has been avenged. Now it’s occupied by a leader with strong power. The soldiers are strong and the people live in peace. Public security is also very good."
The last sentence was to prevent Wei Jun from thinking about making a comeback in his former territory. To Tang Kai, that was simply suicidal. Even Wei Jun and Mara had been sent to the underworld by Leader Ling so quickly, it was horrifying. Without a foundation, Wei Jun wouldn’t stand a chance.
Tang Kai didn’t know how many soldiers were in the territory, but he could guess that the number of soldiers under Leader Ling, who had consolidated several forces, would definitely not be less than 5,000. Perhaps even more. In their heyday, the entire Wei Family only had a ragtag group of about a thousand or so. If Wei Jun harbored any thoughts, he would undoubtedly die.
Upon hearing this,
Wei Jun didn’t catch Tang Kai’s meaning, but asked expectantly, "Uncle Tang, can I go back and take a look?"
"That’s...probably possible. There shouldn’t be a big problem. What do you want to do when you go back?" Tang Kai asked, secretly puzzling over whether Wei Jun was really that naive.
Wei Jun’s face darkened.
"Nothing much, I just spent so many years over there and I don’t know what the old house is like now. Whether it’s intact, whether anyone lives there... After all, all the memories from my past life are attached to that place. I kind of...miss ’home’." Wei Jun lowered his head and sighed. It’s only been half a year since he left home, but everything seems really final. He was really not used to it.
Even though he had returned to civilized society.
Returned to his motherland.
Saw many skyscrapers, bustling traffic, and bustling night life.
But Wei Jun believed that none of these could compare to the simple lifestyle he once had, with the smoke from the kitchen chimney curling up into the sky, and the peace and tranquility of the land.
He really wanted to go back and see what his ’home’ had become. At the very least, he could take some photos. If possible, he hoped to be able to buy it back so he could visit from time to time.
Hearing these words,
Tang Kai looked at Wei Jun with admiration.
He had assumed that Wei Jun wanted to go back and make trouble. He even thought about ’stealing business’. But it turned out that Wei Jun just wanted to go back and see home. With such sentiment and righteousness, he felt his judgment was correct.
"Alright, I’m going to receive some goods in a few days. I’ll bring you there to take a look. It’s very safe over there now. Maybe I can see if they can preserve your old house." Tang Kai said.
Although he didn’t talk much with Leader Ling every time, only a few words about business, he felt that Leader Ling was not a difficult person to deal with. Facing Wei Jun, the ’previous lord’s’ son who posed no threat, the mysterious Leader Ling wouldn’t care.
"Thank you, Uncle Tang." Wei Jun expressed his gratitude.
"What’s all the fuss about? Things over there have changed a lot. Don’t be surprised when you see it, ha-ha." Tang Kai laughed heartily.
"I will be intruding for these few days then." Wei Jun nodded.
"Xiao Jun, you’re being too polite, aren’t you? What is the talk about intrusion? Whenever I used to visit your place, I would stay there for a whole week enjoying your hospitality. I’ll be mad if you continue to be so formal." Tang Kai pretentiously displayed an angry expression, the relationship between him and Wei Jun’s family was really deep, otherwise, they wouldn’t have worked together for so many years.
"Yes, yes, it’s my bad." Wei Jun quickly responded, feeling fortunate that his father didn’t choose the wrong person to help in the past. If it were any other person, the fact that you may be in a desperate situation and are looking for my help, they would at best treat you with a cold response.
"That’s more like it, let’s have a good drink tonight."
"Sure."
In the evening.
Weijun had dinner at his uncle’s place before leaving.
Upon learning that his Uncle was going to purchase more goods from the territory in a few days, Tang Qing eagerly volunteered to join him. Even though he had seen the development of the territory many times in videos, being there in person was far more real. This time he could go and have a look, he would teleport directly there next time.
He used to think that one teleportation node wasn’t enough and two would be fine. But now, even with two, it still felt inadequate. There was nothing Tang Qing could do about it, the system did not sell these, and he could only get one for free each time he leveled up.
The next level, would probably take another month or two.
That wasn’t too long.
After thinking about it, Tang Kai agreed. Tang Qing was a man of high net worth, not just some young lad. Taking him along wouldn’t be a problem, it would broaden his horizon. Consequently, Feng Sen and Li Kai, the two ’hindrances’, were also ’packed’ along.
Second Aunt and Lin Jiaxue were left at home. The journey was long, they had business matters to handle, and the area wasn’t absolutely safe. It was not a vacation trip, Tang Kai felt it was better not to bring too many people to avoid trouble in case anything happened.
On June 24.
In the morning.
Everyone got up before dawn, freshened up and packed. The drive from here to the port takes more than half a day. Setting off early would ensure they arrive sooner, maybe even in time for dinner on the other side.
After an affectionate farewell.
The group got into the car. This time, apart from Wei Jun and Tang Liang, there was also the man, Wang Bo, whom Tang Qing had rescued before. When he heard that Wei Jun was going back to his "home", he, who was originally overseeing the company domestically, also excitedly flew over for a get-together.
Once everyone was present.
They started off.
Four cars ahead, three Mercedes-Benz, all of them Tang Kai’s, and a BMW of Tang Liang’s.
Followed by two container trucks. The main purpose of this trip for Tang Kai was to maintain relationships, so he was not prepared to purchase a lot. Otherwise, two container trucks would not be enough.
Leaving Bangkok City.
The car sped along, to tell you the truth, the scenery along the way was beautiful with picturesque landscapes. The cityscape of Bangkok was unimpressive, characterized by low-rise buildings. But the countryside scenery was charming. Tang Qing rolled down the window, letting the breeze in, and took in the faint fragrance of flowers.
Tang Qing felt really good.
Upon seeing the scenery.
Li Kai and Feng Sen couldn’t help but snap photos.
However, the novelty slowly faded and they lost interest, eventually, they fell asleep.
