Shen Lang and Shen Tianjun chatted at Wangbei Teahouse for an hour. The father and son were unfamiliar with each other, so their conversation revolved around Nan Guo Technology, with little emotional exchange.
An hour later, Shen Tianjun left with Su Rongrong. Shen Lang and Gu Qinghan also departed Wangbei Teahouse, but instead of returning to the villa, they headed to Baima Club.
"Brother Shen, you're a busy man these days. What brings you to Baima Club?" Yang Ce greeted him with a smile. "Are you here to see the Big Boss?"
Indeed, Wolong, who owned eighty percent of Baima Club's shares, was the Big Boss. Wolong had earned the respect of Yang Ce and others through his own capabilities. While Yang Ce excelled in fighting and the like, in business matters, even a hundred Yang Ces combined couldn't match Wolong. In such a short time under his leadership, Wolong had not only thoroughly organized Baima Club's accounts but also implemented bold reforms and expanded new projects, nearly tripling the club's turnover. Wolong was now the king of Baima Club; his word was law to Yang Ce and everyone else.
"Where is your Big Boss?" Shen Lang was not surprised by Yang Ce's attitude, knowing Wolong's formidable abilities. Wolong's talent in martial arts and medicine might not match Shen Lang's, but in business, Wolong could easily outshine Shen Lang by a hundred streets. It was precisely for this reason that Shen Lang trusted Wolong so implicitly, not only handing over Baima Club to him but also tasking him with helping him prepare for future challenges.
"Brother Shen, the Big Boss is in his office. I'll take you there." Yang Ce smiled and led Shen Lang into the elevator. They quickly reached the forty-ninth floor, where Yang Ce's former office had now become Wolong's. However, when Shen Lang and Yang Ce pushed the door open, they were stunned. Wolong was sitting in his office chair with a sweet-looking girl on his lap, his hands and mouth unrestrained.
"Senior Brother, you... how did you get here?" Wolong exclaimed, startled by Shen Lang's appearance. He quickly released the girl and stood up.
"Wolong, you're quite the player. Learned these tricks in just a few days," Shen Lang said, sinking onto the sofa opposite Wolong. "So, is this mutual affection or a transaction?"
"Haha, Senior Brother, of course, it's a relationship of mutual affection. How could it be a transaction?" Wolong pointed to the girl and smiled at Shen Lang. "Senior Brother, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Xie Lingjun." He then turned to the girl, "Lingjun, this is my Senior Brother, Shen Lang. Meet him."
"Hello—" The girl, blushing shyly, greeted Shen Lang.
"Hello—" Shen Lang replied with a smile.
"Alright, Lingjun, you go out for a bit. My Senior Brother and I need to discuss some important matters. I'll find you later." Wolong knew Shen Lang wouldn't come to Baima Club without a reason, so he waved his girlfriend away. Xie Lingjun, who appeared to be a gentle and obedient girl, smiled and soon left the office.
"Senior Brother, Sister-in-law, please have a seat. I'll make some tea." After Xie Lingjun left, Wolong smiled and approached Shen Lang and Gu Qinghan, intending to make tea.
"No need. You know I'm not here for tea. Let's talk business," Shen Lang stopped Wolong's actions. "Wolong, how are things progressing with what I asked you to do?"
"Senior Brother, even if you don't trust me, you should trust my family's foundation. What you asked me to do is as simple as drinking tea for me. I've already investigated everything." Wolong picked up a purple clay teapot from the table and took a swig. "Senior Brother, when do you want to hold the Nan Guo Technology shareholders' meeting? I'll join you and guarantee a surprise for everyone."
"Since you're so confident, there's no better day than today. The family banquet is in three hours. We'll catch Tang Jun off guard without notifying him," Shen Lang said, patting Wolong's shoulder. "We are brothers. Apart from our beloved women, there's nothing in this world we can't share. The shares of Nan Guo Technology, half for you and half for me. I'll transfer my half to you directly at the shareholders' meeting."
"What?" Not only Wolong but also Gu Qinghan looked incredulous. Neither of them had expected Shen Lang to be willing to give Wolong thirty-five percent of Nan Guo Technology's shares. Considering Nan Guo Technology's current market value of ten trillion, Shen Lang's seventy percent stake was worth seven trillion. Giving half to Wolong meant three and a half trillion. This wasn't just a windfall; it was an astronomical fortune, and Shen Lang gave it away without batting an eye. At that moment, Gu Qinghan truly understood how much Shen Lang valued Wolong. It seemed their nominal brotherhood was akin to that of blood brothers. No, to be precise, Shen Lang regarded Wolong as more than a blood brother, thus willing to share everything with him.
"Senior Brother, if you give it to me, I'll accept it. But you must also remember what I told you before: once I inherit the Black Dragon family, you will have half of my inheritance too." Wolong's background was extremely mysterious. He had mentioned more than once that he came from a hidden family called Black Dragon, the wealthiest family in the world, controlling two-thirds of global wealth. In fact, even Wolong didn't know the exact amount of money this family possessed, but no matter how much it was, he was willing to share it with his Senior Brother. Just as Shen Lang said, they were brothers, and apart from beloved women, everything else could be shared.
"Good. I'll await your inheritance. Give me a surprise then. But for now, let's settle the Nan Guo Technology matter," Shen Lang said with a smile. "Although we are nominally the largest shareholders, we probably can't even mobilize a cleaner in the company. We need to take control quickly."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. With me here, nothing is a problem," Wolong smiled and recited, "Let him be strong, let him be strong, the gentle breeze brushes the mountain slope. Let him be fierce, let him be fierce, the bright moon shines on the great river. He is cruel, he is wicked, I am sustained by a single breath."
