Chapter 902: Chapter 892: You Still Have a Part in This?

They say plans can’t keep up with changes, and there’s truly no mistake in that saying.

Originally, Wang Xing had already spent 6,000 yuan on a cram school, but now he’s totally messed up. Take the civil service exam? That’s bullshit!

He’s feeling utterly chaotic right now; studying seems impossible!

Three days passed in a flash, and it was already the 29th of the month, practically the end of it.

"This Killer Is Not Very Calm" had grossed over 2.6 billion at the box office, which is quite good. However, due to the substantial investment and Wang Xing and Wen Jingqi each investing only 50 million, the profit share wasn’t as big as the previous two movies.

"Blindly Arrogant" also performed quite well; though it was released online, the earnings from the box office nearly reached 40 million. After deducting the investment of 10 million, a net profit of about 30 million was made, which is considered quite successful.

Most importantly, the reputation was excellent. Although it was released for only one month, netizens have already hailed it as the purest martial arts film of recent years, which is no small praise.

Over the past couple of days, Wen Jingqi couldn’t be happier. After all, this is what investment means—quick returns and high rewards, feeling like the money was just picked up!

Consequently, he’s filled with confidence about this investment; even if he loses, it won’t be a loss. The returns this time are enough for him to invest in several projects.

In the evening, at a food stall on a pedestrian street not far from the company, Su Qing, Ding Qiang, Wang Xing, and Lin Miaomiao gathered together.

"You’re quite something, pulling off a big surprise quietly like this. Already going to be a dad, huh?" Ding Qiang rushed over as soon as he got the news.

After all, now that there’s a kid, the wedding is definitely happening; that’s beyond doubt.

"Hehe, keep it low-key, keep it low-key, all skill, no need to make a fuss!" Wang Xing chuckled.

At that, Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Wang Xing, gave him a punch, while her other hand occasionally touched her abdomen, lost in thought.

"Alright, you’ve called us here today, do you have some news to announce? Speak up, what’s the situation now?" Su Qing asked, taking a sip of beer to wash down the barbecue.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing straightened his posture, raised a thumb and said, "You really can’t hide anything from you.

I’ve told my family about Miaomiao’s pregnancy. My mom wants us to get married, and both of them want me to bring Miaomiao home to meet them, then discuss the engagement with her family, striving to finalize the wedding soon and get married without delay.

Miaomiao has also informed her family. They agreed, but the betrothal gifts and such still need to be discussed.

I’ve been house-hunting these days because we’re getting married and can’t keep renting anymore."

Hearing this, Su Qing and Ding Qiang both nodded in agreement.

"Is there enough money to buy a house? I can pitch in 100,000 right now—consider it from me. Anyway, our business is ours, you don’t need to rush to repay; pay back whenever you can!" Ding Qiang said.

Though he certainly has more than 100,000 in hand right now, in business, it’s crucial to keep funds on hand. The two of them continue to pour the rest into rolling the business forward. This 100,000 was taken from Ding Qiang’s personal pocket.

"For the remainder, I’ll cover it. If we can pay the house in full, we should, so you two will have less pressure after marriage. And when the baby comes, formula and diapers aren’t a minor expense." Su Qing said.

Wang Xing has some savings, even though he’s invested most of it in business with Ding Qiang, he still has some.

Plus, his family can come up with at least a few hundred thousand, which isn’t too bad. As long as it’s not a house in the city center or in relatively prosperous locations, the housing prices in Jiang City aren’t too outrageous.

It’s definitely cheaper than the capital; if you buy a bit further out, prices can even be under 10,000, with new developments at 6,000 to 7,000.

If it’s a hundred square meters, a two-bedroom and living room apartment, a few hundred thousand should suffice. With Ding Qiang providing 100,000, and Wang Xing’s personal and family contributions, it leaves very little needed, which he can cover. After marriage, the pressure on Wang Xing will be much less.

As for the car, Wang Xing’s current second-hand car can still be driven for a few years, so there’s no rush.

Why not cover everything himself? Because he had to give Ding Qiang a chance; after all, Wang Xing had provided Ding Qiang with money before, and favors needed reciprocating.

On hearing this, Wang Xing was about to object when Ding Qiang waved him off, interrupting, "Alright, no more nonsense, it’s settled. If you were Qingzi, I wouldn’t even bother with wedding gifts. Weddings aren’t like other things; they require money for everything—buying a house, renovation, hosting banquets, having kids—which of these doesn’t cost money?

I’m currently single, without your kinds of pressure. Qingzi has plenty of money and doesn’t need it either, but you’re in a hurry, so just take it!"

With the conversation reaching this point, Wang Xing couldn’t bring himself to say any more, having to keep their kindness in his heart, since these are the only few friends left over the years, truly not easy to come by.

"Alright, let’s do that. Deduct Qingzi and your money from our business later on; you shouldn’t refuse. Consider it a loan I’ll repay slowly!" Wang Xing said.

He naturally understood the rules and knew he couldn’t really repay it at just any time.

"Alright, let’s go with that then. By the way, when are you guys planning to meet the parents and have them meet each other?" Su Qing asked.

"Tomorrow Miaomiao’s going to my place, and the day after I’ll go to hers. My family thinks since Miaomiao’s pregnant, our parents should meet quickly, preferably have the engagement immediately, and by next month, at most August, we should get married!"

As he spoke, Wang Xing looked at his girlfriend with affectionate eyes.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing and Ding Qiang thought the timeline was tight but soon felt relieved considering the pregnancy.

After all, Lin Miaomiao’s belly doesn’t wait for anyone.

"True, then do it quickly, don’t drag it on!"

At that moment, Su Qing suddenly noticed the expressions of Ding Qiang and Wang Xing had changed, not replying and looking surprised.

"Have you two been frozen in time? Lost in thought?"

Just then, Wang Xing and Ding Qiang kept winking at him, when a familiar voice came from behind.

"Hi, everyone long time no see, Su Qing, what a coincidence!"

Upon hearing, Su Qing turned around to find someone familiar.

"Why are you here? You even have a part?"

The visitor was their high school classmate Ning Tong, who married the rich second-generation classmate Zhang Chao last year. At the beginning of the year, they had some conflicts, and she should have gone back to the county homeland with Zhang Chao by now?

"I... I got divorced from Zhang Chao, so I came back! Didn’t expect to bump into you here!"

Su Qing:...
