Chapter 616: Chapter 614: Knew Xue Yang Was Talented, But Didn’t Expect Him to Be This Talented

The first time, the call connected but went unanswered. Wang Doudou didn’t give up and dialed a second time. However, the ringing just echoed in the emptiness, and the other party never picked up.

Wang Doudou’s breathing grew slightly erratic. If it had been anyone else who hadn’t answered his call, he would have flown into a rage. But this person... Wang Doudou suppressed his explosive temper and dialed a third time.

This third time, just as the call was about to automatically disconnect, it finally connected.

An impatient voice from Ming Yue came through, "Wang Doudou, why are you calling me?"

A faint smile touched Wang Doudou’s lips as he replied in a deliberately casual tone, "What? Am I not allowed to call you?"

"At this hour, shouldn’t you be asleep over there?" Ming Yue’s voice held a note of curiosity and confusion, clearly surprised by Wang Doudou’s call.

"Ming Yue, I want to ask you, what exactly does Xue Yang intend to do with Yonghui Supermarket?"

Hearing this, Ming Yue’s brows furrowed deeply, a flicker of confusion in her eyes. "Why are you asking about this?"

Wang Doudou responded matter-of-factly, "You’re a member of the Wang Family, so of course you should contribute to the Wang Family, even if you don’t work for us anymore."

Ming Yue let out a soft scoff, her tone revealing an unshakeable resolve. "How dare you compare me to those unprincipled people? I have nothing to say about this matter. If there’s nothing else, I have important things to attend to. Goodbye."

"Wang Mingyue!" Wang Doudou couldn’t help but raise his voice, trying to stop her.

"Allow me to correct you, Wang Doudou," Ming Yue’s voice was calm and clear. "My given name is Ming Yue, and my surname is Ming, not Wang as you claim. This is my choice, and I’m sticking to it."

"Ming Yue," Wang Doudou took a deep breath, seemingly struggling to control his emotions. "No matter how much you resist, the fact that we’re connected by blood can’t be changed. You will always be a part of the Wang Family."

He tried to leverage their blood ties, hoping to persuade Ming Yue to reveal Xue Yang’s plans and use them as a weapon against him. Unfortunately, he had underestimated her determination and principles.

"Blood may be a part of my life, but it doesn’t control my will," Ming Yue’s voice resonated with irrefutable firmness. "Likewise, my choices and my loyalties are not for you to influence. I am loyal to Xue Yang. I will not leak his plans, and I certainly will not become a pawn in your game. Please respect my decision and understand that in the future, we should probably keep our distance."

With that, before Wang Doudou could respond, Ming Yue decisively hung up, leaving a hollow dial tone echoing in the air.

Wang Doudou wasn’t angry. He hadn’t really expected Ming Yue to tell him Xue Yang’s plans anyway. If she had been willing, she would have done so long ago without him needing to call. The only reason I called was to make her regret this later. She thinks she’s found such a great backer, but he’s nothing. By the time she realizes her mistake, it will be too late.

Wang Doudou’s mood was exceptionally bright, as if his heart were bathed in the warm spring sun. He immediately picked up his phone and dialed a familiar number. His father’s calm and kind voice came through.

"Doudou, calling so late? Are you in some kind of trouble? I’ll have someone get you another credit card."

Although Father Wang was a bit strict with Wang Doudou, his love for his son had never waned. It was simply the lack of proper guidance that had led to his currently spoiled and hedonistic nature.

"Dad, it’s not that. I have a money-making plan I want to explain to you in detail."

Hearing that his son was calling not to ask for money or for help with a problem, but rather to discuss a money-making plan, Father Wang felt his son had truly grown up.

If this plan really works, the Si Family might finally see him in a new light. Perhaps there’s still a chance to salvage the marriage with Si Wen. It’s just a shame we can’t form a marriage alliance with the Lin Family. Otherwise, our Wang Family could one day become the most powerful family in the world.

Wang Doudou briefly explained the plan to Father Wang. After listening, Father Wang’s eyes widened.

"Doudou, you’ve grown up. Dad is very happy. If this plan really works, our Wang Family will surely rise to the next level. However, no matter the outcome, you must remember that the future of our family requires both of us to build it together, step by step."

Hearing this, Wang Doudou’s gaze grew even more resolute. "Dad, don’t worry. I’ve made all the necessary preparations. This time, I’m not only going to make a fortune for the Wang Family, but I’m also going to make everyone respect us and prove our strength and value."

Seeing his son’s determination, Father Wang’s heart filled with relief and pride. He puffed out his chest and said grandly, "Good son, that’s the spirit! Don’t worry about the money. I’ll set a ’small’ goal for you to start: one hundred million in seed money. If you need more later, just ask. Dad will support you completely!"

One hundred million! This is fantastic!

With this one hundred million, Wang Doudou was confident he could get his venture off the ground. After hanging up, he still felt like he was in a daze. I can’t believe I got one hundred million so easily. I knew Xue Yang was talented, but I never imagined that a simple plan from him could make my father fork over one hundred million so easily.

With the funding secured, Wang Doudou wasted no time and immediately launched his money-making plan.

「Meanwhile,」

After a great deal of trouble, Su Guoqiang finally tracked down information on the new printing factory Xue Yang was partnering with. He eagerly called Wang Doudou, filled with anticipation of earning Young Master Wang’s favor and the promised investment.

However, the response from the other end was merely a flat "Hmm," which felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, instantly extinguishing Su Guoqiang’s enthusiasm.

His heart pounding with anxiety, he mustered his courage and cautiously brought up the investment. "Young Master Wang, about the investment I mentioned before..." Before he could even finish, his heart was already a knot of hope and tension.

Wang Doudou, however, deliberately played coy. "Investment? Oh, you mean that thing?" His tone was nonchalant, as if the matter was of no importance.

Su Guoqiang grew frantic and quickly reminded him, "Young Master Wang, you gave me your word that if I could find Xue Yang’s partner, you would invest in Qiangsheng." His voice was tinged with desperation and unease.

Hearing this, a sly smile crept onto Wang Doudou’s face. "Investment? I’ve already given it."

"You did?" Su Guoqiang asked, completely bewildered. "But, Young Master Wang, I haven’t received any investment funds."

Wang Doudou chuckled softly and explained, "I’ve already given the money to Su Jianqiang. He’s the general manager of Qiangsheng, and he’s also your brother. Giving it to him is the same as giving it to you, isn’t it?"
