Back to Chapter List
On the 12th floor of the shopping mall, Zhang Yuping is interested in everything—she buys almost anything she sees. This isn’t because she doesn’t already own these items, but rather because she’s a classic shopping enthusiast. Moreover, with her exceptional husband by her side, she’s been wildly enthusiastic about everything from fashion apparel and cosmetics to household essentials and study supplies. Gao Liang has taken on two responsibilities: handling the ATM and carrying shopping bags. Nevertheless, Gao Liang has genuinely enjoyed himself, even though accompanying Zhang Yuping through the mall is physically tiring—there’s a certain joy in the spending itself. Many people have been drawn to them, watching as they purchase items at first sight and collect premium pieces, marveling at how a Chinese person with a yellow complexion and black eyes can be so affluent. George, the owner of a small American business, who is carrying his wife, Laine—a beautiful and elegant woman—by the hand, looks crestfallen and says, “Please, don’t let me break the bank!” The global economy is currently sluggish—unless companies tighten their belts, many are likely to go under! "Hmph! I truly regret marrying you, this unambitious fellow. Look at those Chinese young men who go to great lengths for a beautiful woman—don’t you think they must have substantial wealth? Surely, they’re in debt, right? My goodness! They’re actually swiping their cards—swiping wildly! It seems they don’t even mind the cost!" Laine, her beautiful and graceful wife, watched Huang Gao continuously swiping his card at the payment terminal, utterly stunned. "Even a rising wealthy family wouldn’t amass such a fortune overnight. Is he really the son of one of America’s top ten industrial magnates?" George stared at Huang Gao, his face filled with disbelief. "Look at that Chinese lady—how fortunate she must feel!" "Lin was in awe. At that moment, Zhang Yупing was eyeing several high-end fashion pieces, but being very busy, she couldn't try them all on one by one, as a courteous sales associate from the jewelry counter had kindly invited her to take a look at various fine jewelry items. "Miss, could you please help me try on these fashion pieces?" Zhang Yупing asked Lin. "Oh! Oh!" Lin's eyes sparkled—these garments had never been worn by him before, and he hadn't even had enough time to fully appreciate them. Excitedly, he nodded enthusiastically, "Yes! Yes!" Meanwhile, Zhang Yупing was being escorted to view the luxury jewelry by the jewelry merchant. Gao Liang has also started spending lavishly. Goodness, the old guy has finally made it! The old guy has plenty of money, and he's spending it just as hard as anyone else, making all these poor folks envy him. Though he used to be the son of a laid-off worker from Hanzhai City, back in the early days of the Huaxia nation, now that he's successful, he has everything—money, beautiful women, luxury cars. He's truly risen to the top. He wants to spend, he wants to live it up. Old Li wanted to buy everything in the entire shopping mall, but his card had only one million dollars. If Old Li became a U.S. industrial magnate, he’d open upscale shopping malls all over the United States, and his business would spread worldwide. "Come here! Try on this Rolex gold watch for me!" said Gao Liang, speaking to the small business owner who was drooling in admiration. "Great! Great!" George beamed and went to try on the watch. Wow! This watch was truly excellent—pure gold! "I’d love to one day be as impressive as this Chinese young man," George murmured to himself, only to have his head gently tapped: "You! Stop dreaming!" Looking up, George saw Ryan arriving in a stunning, fashionable suit, and was utterly amazed, exclaiming, "What a beauty!" Ryan was delighted, yet a bit disappointed, saying, "I’ll probably have to wait until the next life to afford this kind of outfit!" "How much is it? I’ll pay!" "George wanted to buy it, but when he heard the server announce the price, he collapsed to the ground, murmuring, '100,000 dollars! My goodness! Even my company's annual net profit—my entire business—doesn't reach that amount! I'm operating on debt!' 'For 100,000 dollars, the others don't even blink,' Ryan said. 'If you don't have the ability, then buy your watch right now!' However, the price the server quoted left them stunned. They repeated, 'What? Thirty thousand? No, no—we'd go without food or drink for a year and still couldn't afford it!' As they hesitated, looking at the gold watch and the clothing, a young, handsome man approached a beautiful woman, smiling brightly under the sunshine, and said, 'If you like it, here's the gold watch—free of charge!' George and Lain observed that it was precisely the most distinguished guests of the day, Mr. Gao Liang and Miss Zhang Yuaping, who, at the very moment they were hesitant to believe it was true, Miss Zhang turned to her beautiful and attractive wife and said, "That dress fits you perfectly—there's no need to take it off!" "Wow! Miss Zhang Yuaping! You're absolutely wonderful! You've found such a wonderful husband!" The beautiful and attractive wife, deeply moved, grasped Miss Zhang's hand tightly, pointing to the exquisite, world-famous dress that Miss Zhang wore and exclaimed, "My goodness! This is the Italian royal dress I've only seen in my dreams! And your jewelry—also from the Italian royal collection! Oh! Esteemed Miss Zhang Yuaping!" George also rushed over to Mr. Gao, filled with excitement. He noticed that Mr. Gao was wearing another Swiss gold watch, which he admired greatly—this was truly a one-of-a-kind timepiece! He had even seen the promotional advertisement for this watch on the poster before entering the mall—it was priced at a premium, at 3 million US dollars. My goodness! Facing these two noble benefactors, both George and Lane were ready to kneel and express their deepest gratitude. But Hou said, "Remember—this isn't all free! Just now, from your wife, I learned that your business is struggling. Is that correct?" George nodded. Upon further elaborating with his wife, it came to light that they had founded a company named Boiling Point Pharmaceutical Research, specializing in developing new drugs, in the University of San Francisco's industrial park. While medicine is well-developed in the U.S., they had failed to attract top talent—not because they couldn't find qualified people, but because they simply couldn't afford to hire them. As a result, they lacked the talent needed to develop competitive products. Zhang Yuping listened intently to the word "pharmaceuticals," her eyes wide open, and turned to Hou, saying, "Husband, I have a proposal. Would you consider it?" Wow! What a thoughtful wife! "Excellent, Ping'er! Go on!" "As soon as Gao Liang spoke, Zhang Yu Ping paused and then looked directly into his eyes, saying, 'Husband! Our Yu Cheng Shen Group and Shenlong Group already employ tens of thousands of employees. Their health is a major concern. I believe we should establish a pharmaceutical company—this way, we can both export and meet internal demand.' 'Excellent! Indeed, Ping'er has a clear vision! I fully support!' Gao Liang clapped his hands. 'Just like our Yu Cheng Shen Scholarship, let's call it Yu Cheng Shen Pharmaceutical!' Zhang Yu Ping had already settled on the name. Gao Liang gently brushed her small juniper nose with his little finger and said, 'All these matters—delegate them entirely to you! For funding, simply apply directly to me. I'll then present the proposal to the board.' 'Yes, Husband!' Zhang Yu Ping smiled warmly, as if already envisioning the bright future of Yu Cheng Shen Pharmaceutical. 'Let's collaborate! We'll work together!" George, the small business owner, grasped Huang's hand with eager urgency, as if clutching a lifeline, and spoke with great excitement. However, Huang proposed conditions: His desired pharmaceutical company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Desired Group, and all major decisions are made by the Desired Group's board of directors. George and Lane, as executive managers, must comply with all directives and arrangements from the board. The Desired Group holds over 90% of the controlling stake in the pharmaceutical company. George readily agreed, as the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, and acquisition and restructuring by a large group was undoubtedly the best path forward. Lane, George's beautiful and attractive wife, tightly held Zhang Yупing's hand and said, "With the support of Mr. Huang and Miss Zhang, our company is undergoing a complete transformation and poised for great growth—this is truly a revival! Excellent! Let's sign the agreement right away!"
