chapter 25 Hitting walls everywhere

After the Robert Song family saw the news of Nine-marked Dragon being caught, everyone was dumbfounded. Soon, Theodore Song called and found out the truth of the matter through his connections. After he finished the phone call, he said with a wry smile to Robert Song and others: "Dad, they said that a chief recently led the troops to conduct an anti-terrorism exercise in Zhonghai. Brother Dragon and the others happened to be in the muzzle of the gun this time, and they were all arrested.” Robert Song's family looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Ray Song suddenly realized: "I wonder how Pauline Song and her family could have such great ability to call special service soldiers to deal with Brother Dragon and the others. It turns out that Brother Dragon and the others were unlucky and happened to run into this matter.” Robert Song's face was full of reluctance: "Pauline Song's little bitch family is really blessed and lucky this time!" Theodore Song said: "Dad, I think we need to put pressure on Pauline Song again." Robert Song frowned and said: "Nine-marked Dragon Ivan Hu and his gang have been arrested and imprisoned. Is there any other way you can force Pauline Song to give us the project?" Theodore Song said with a smile: "Kent Cao, the president of Zhongsheng Group, has always been interested in the Crabapple Shopping Plaza project." "We can ask him to cooperate and let him be responsible for putting pressure on Pauline Song." Robert Song's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Zhongsheng Group is very powerful. If Kent Cao uses some tricks, Pauline Song's Ningda Company will be destroyed. After she is in trouble, she will definitely be forced to come to us to ask for help. When the time comes, the Crabapple Shopping Plaza project will surely fall back into our hands." Theodore Song nodded and said, "Yes, we can choose to cooperate with Zhongsheng Group to complete this project. I guarantee that by then, we will be able to establish a marriage with the Cao family and be protected by them." Robert Song was stunned: "What does that mean?" Theodore Song said with a wicked smile: "Dad, Kent Cao is actually very interested in Pauline Song." Robert Song and others were a little stunned when they heard Theodore Song's words. Kent Cao was fifty years old this year. He had married three wives, all of whom had died. Now he was a widower. But he was the president of Zhongsheng Group, a well-known rich man in China's upper class society. Robert Song frowned and said, "Pauline Song gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and she is still going out with that loser named Noah Chen. Boss Cao has great wealth and extraordinary status. Will he like Pauline Song?" Theodore Song said with a smile: "Dad, you don't need to worry about this. Boss Cao doesn't like young girls, he only likes mature women, just like Pauline Song." Robert Song felt relieved after hearing this: "That's good. If Boss Cao really falls in love with Pauline Song, it will be a blessing for that little bitch." … In the next few days, Pauline Song's Ningda Company officially demolished the old buildings in Haitang City Village. As the saying went, there would be a lot of money spent when the excavator worked. After the construction team started working, Ningda Company spent money like running water. When Pauline Song established Ningda Company, she took 5 million start-up capital from Noah Chen. When construction just started, Noah Chen added another 20 million yuan. But Ningda Company was still very tight on funds. Pauline Song began to worry about funds, but she didn't tell Noah Chen. After all, in her opinion, Noah Chen had bought a car and a house. Noah Chen also spent money twice for Ningda Company. She estimated that Noah Chen's money had been almost spent, and she was too embarrassed to use Noah Chen's money anymore. However, the Crabapple Shopping Plaza project had just begun, and they were burning money to do a lot of things, and many places required advance funding. Pauline Song thought about it and felt that the only way now was to attract investment. Therefore, she actively contacted several powerful consortium companies in the past two days, and brought the investment plan she prepared to attract investment everywhere. As a result, she met with setbacks everywhere. Basically all the consortium bosses thought that Crabapple Shopping Plaza was a good project. But Pauline Song was too young and didn't have qualifications, and her Ningda Company was weak. They were not optimistic about Pauline Song and Ningda Company, so they refused to invest. In the evening, Pauline Song carried her briefcase and dragged her exhausted body back home. At home, Xavier Song and Lydia Ma had just prepared a sumptuous dinner, while Noah Chen and their daughter were playing happily on the sofa. When their daughter saw Pauline Song, she immediately ran over and giggled: "Mom, you are back, come and play games with us." Pauline Song bent over and kissed her daughter dotingly, and said softly: "Mom is too tired from work, can I wait until the weekend to play with you?" Stella Song nodded obediently: "Well, mom, sit down, dad and I will massage your feet and back." Pauline Song was pulled by her daughter to sit down on the sofa. Her daughter pressed her shoulders. At the same time, she also told Noah Chen: "Dad, I'm going to press mom's shoulders. You press mom's feet. Mom works hard to make money to support the family." Pauline Song's pretty face turned red, and she said to Noah Chen in embarrassment: "No, don't listen to the child." But Noah Chen had already reached out to pick up her high-heeled feet and took off her stilettos without any explanation. He put her feet on his legs, gently pressed her feet through the stockings, and said with a smile: "Stella is right, mom has worked hard, and dad must serve mom well." Pauline Song's pretty face turned red in embarrassment. She struggled twice but couldn't break free. She was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, after a while, Lydia Ma came over from the dining room and shouted, "What are you doing? Get ready to eat." Pauline Song was frightened and forcibly moved her feet away from Noah Chen's legs. She put on her high heels in a panic and said, "Okay, let's eat." With an ambiguous smile on her face, Lydia Ma pretended not to see anything, then hugged her granddaughter and walked towards the dining room first. Pauline Song put on her shoes and whispered to Noah Chen in embarrassment: "It's all your fault. Mom is laughing." Noah Chen smiled and did not answer Pauline Song. He only asked lightly: "I see that you seem to be very busy these days, and you are still looking sad. Did the company encounter any problems again? Can you tell me?" Pauline Song shook her head: "No problem. I just wanted to attract a few investors recently, but no one is optimistic about Ningda Company and everyone is unwilling to invest." After hearing this, Noah Chen said meaningfully: "Don't worry, I guarantee that in a few days, they will cry and beg you to let them invest." Pauline Song didn't know how to react to him: "Noah Chen, you really have a beautiful wish." The family sat down to have dinner, and the food was exquisite. However, Pauline Song had just taken a few bites when her cell phone rang suddenly. She took her cell phone and walked to the balcony to answer the call. She came back a few minutes later with a slightly abnormal expression. Noah Chen asked calmly: "What's wrong?" Pauline Song said: "It was a call from Kent Cao, the president of Zhongsheng Group. He said he wanted to invest in the Crabapple Shopping Plaza project and asked me to go to the Junan Hotel to meet him now." Noah Chen said calmly: "Aren't you looking for investment? It's a good thing that someone is willing to invest, but why do you seem a little hesitant?" Pauline Song smiled bitterly and said: "Zhongsheng Group is very powerful, and the Cao family is also a top wealthy family in Zhonghai. It's a good thing that Boss Cao wants to invest in our project. But what I'm wondering about is that I didn't ask him to invest, so how did he know about me? He even took the initiative to contact me.” She hesitated and then added: "In addition, I heard that Kent Cao is a bit immoral in his private life, so I am hesitant about meeting him." Noah Chen said calmly: "In that case, let me drive you there to see if he is sincere about the investment?" In fact, Pauline Song's statement that Kent Cao was immoral in his private life was already a very euphemistic way of saying it. Many people knew that Kent Cao was an old pervert, and many businesswomen were afraid of doing business with him. When she heard that Noah Chen would accompany her to meet Kent Cao, she felt much relieved, then nodded and said, "That's good, but you have to control your impulsive temper and don't hit people casually." Noah Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't hit anyone casually, but when I hit anyone, it won't be casual either." Qianqian
