Chapter 283: Chapter 288: Meng Ping is Back
Meng Ping had returned. He had spent the most time in Hong Kong and reaped the greatest rewards. Without stepping out, he wouldn’t have known how much the world outside had developed; many money-making methods had completely astonished him.
Especially the control and manipulation of the capital market had intrigued him. Even though the Mainland was just starting to develop and the capital market was still non-existent, he believed that he, Meng Ping, would definitely become the godfather of the capital market.
Sheng Railway Station was swarming with people. Little fat man, leading a gang of childhood friends, held up a huge banner that almost covered half the platform.
The railway police had warned them several times.
“Comrade, you can’t occupy such a large space,” the railway police warned. “Put away your banner immediately. You people are taking up such a large space, how are the other comrades supposed to greet anyone?”
“Are you looking for a beating?” Little fat man said with a sneer, “I’m picking up my brother, is it any of your business?”
“How can you be so unreasonable?” The railway police was a young kid, probably new on the job, meeting such an unreasonable person for the first time, he instantly became somewhat less imposing.
“How am I being unreasonable? I’m the most reasonable!” Little fat man puffed out his chest, looking very proud of himself.
“Hahaha… Brother Fat is the most reasonable,” the others joined in, heckling.
Their behavior had long incited the ordinary people’s anger, and now seeing their arrogance, someone immediately stood up to criticize.
“These people really lack manners!”
“Why is it that scum can be found everywhere…”
“Police, throw them out…”
“Exactly, throw them out, throw them out, throw them out…”
“I think detention is more appropriate!”
Upon hearing that detention was being mentioned, little fat man instantly became furious and walked up to the person who spoke, grabbing them by the collar.
“Are you asking for death? Do you believe I can beat you so bad you’ll be scrambling on the ground looking for your teeth?”
The others were too scared to speak any further, and the railway police were also panicked and were about to call for backup to catch this group of hooligans.
Just as a battle seemed imminent, suddenly a pleasant voice rang out through the crowd.
“Little fat man, not seeing you for such a short time and you’ve already become so majestic? Want me to let you take over as the boss?”
Upon hearing this, little fat man immediately let go of the person’s collar, turned around with a smile on his face, and sure enough, there stood Meng Ping right behind him.
The others were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
Little fat man glared fiercely at everyone, a bunch of heartless guys, none of them had thought to give him a heads up.
“Eldest brother, you look stunning in those clothes, is that a suit? That cashmere coat must be damn expensive, huh?” little fat man’s eyes gleamed, “Oh my goodness, I wouldn’t have recognized you if you didn’t speak!”
Meng Ping was carrying a suitcase, clad in a black suit with a long black cashmere coat over it. Although he wasn’t wearing a tie, it was evident that the suit was well-cut and made of fine material, just like those seen in old Shanghai Beach magazines.
“Enough with the nonsense!” Meng Ping stood there feeling embarrassed, guessing it wouldn’t be long before today’s glorious deeds reached his father.
That little fat man just didn’t know how to cause less trouble.
The group hurriedly left the railway station, Meng Ping asking about the significant events that had happened during his absence.
The focus was on Sheng Ning.
“Eldest brother…” Little fat man was hesitant.
“Speak frankly,” Meng Ping’s eyes widened, bearing a sharp and aggressive aura somewhat similar to Meng Xingzhi.
