For over a week, the relationship between the two had rapidly intensified. They spoke on the phone almost every day. Zheng Yifan had no ulterior motives; he simply had no friends to talk to.
The brothers in the dorm were so busy that they hardly had time to sleep. Their company was slowly growing, expanding from Zheng Yifan's own orders to now having numerous clients and an increasingly vast network of information and supply sales channels.
Li Jun was now gaining more attention from his father. With a slight smirk, he was riding the waves of success, unimpeded by anyone.
Last night, Berry had already called and held a meeting. The main purpose was to discuss the embryonic form of the investment fund securities company in France, which was taking shape. The most crucial part, the Clean Room, had been debugged and was just waiting for the Supercomputer to be installed. Following Zheng Yifan's instructions, security measures outside the Clean Room had been rearranged and tightened. Compared to those national military strongholds, it was certainly lacking, but it was believed that ordinary thieves would not be able to get in, and international thieves would likely not be interested in such a small company.
Around eight in the morning, Zheng Yifan picked up the phone to book a first-class ticket to France. However, before he could dial, the phone rang unexpectedly.
"Hello, Mengni, what’s going on?" Zheng Yifan replied in surprise; she should be in class at this hour.
"Yifan, you have to help me! My mom has gone completely crazy!" Huang Mengni's voice was frantic, her words choked with emotion.
"Calm down, take it slow. Don’t rush," Zheng Yifan said.
Perhaps his words had an effect; Huang Mengni gradually began to calm down.
It turned out that her family had once been a prominent wealthy clan for three generations. Due to political affiliations during that special era, they had only lost some wealth.
Five years ago, their family was still one of the top tycoons in the area, possessing billions in assets, with over a dozen factories and two companies along with several office buildings.
This made them a significant Rich Tycoon anywhere in the country. However, ever since her parents became addicted to gambling five years ago, everything changed for them.
Their wealth gradually disappeared without them noticing; one factory after another was mortgaged and then sold off entirely. Eventually, their office buildings vanished as well. When they were left with only one office building and a few factories, disaster struck. They were unable to clear their gambling debts incurred over the years and ended up losing almost all their assets within just a few years. Most of what they owned had changed hands.
Now, all that remained was a small plastic products processing factory and a house just over one hundred square meters.
This house had been purchased specifically for Huang Mengni’s schooling back when she was studying.
Now, it had become a family's residence, which was undeniably bittersweet. Her father had turned over a new leaf, working tirelessly in the factory, determined to rebuild the family business. Meanwhile, her mother remained trapped in the memories of past luxuries, unable to recover.
Initially, under her father's restructuring and development efforts, the factory had already generated a net income of seven to eight hundred thousand a year. In a few years, it might have been possible to achieve great success again. However, compared to their previous life, the difference was still vast. At this time, Mother Huang began to entertain dubious thoughts and, through a friend's introduction, met the current Young Master Yin.
The son of the Boss of one of the top hundred enterprises in the country was far superior to their family in every aspect. Not to mention that several recent large projects were thriving, with hopes of breaking into the national top ten.
At this moment, Young Master Yin wanted Huang Mengni, the former school beauty and goddess from an international school, to be his lover to fulfill a long-held desire. Naturally, Mother Huang's head was filled with excitement. With her blood boiling, she agreed and immediately began pressuring her daughter.
It had been three hours. Zheng Yifan did not know what kind of torment Huang Mengni had endured during that time, but he knew that she was now in trouble.
Because Mother Huang had crazily decided to send her daughter to Young Master Yin's bed.
Zheng Yifan was truly astonished. How could there be such parents in this world? In the Apocalyptic World, there was Han Rui who would never abandon his daughter; even in death, he would die before her. Yet now there were those who would sell their daughters for glory.
The contrast could not be more stark.
"What do you plan to do now?" Zheng Yifan asked.
"My dad is already helping me with my visa. He used to support some officials; although they have turned their backs on him now, there are still some willing to help out for a small favor. He just called and told me to hurry up and buy a plane ticket," Huang Mengni replied.
Then she seemed a bit embarrassed: "My dad is processing a tourist visa for France."
Then as if making a firm decision, she gritted her teeth and said, "Can you accompany me? After all, I’m unfamiliar with the place. I’m not traveling with a tour group either; besides, the time spent with them is too short."
Zheng Yifan replied, "No problem. I happen to need to go to France as well. Send me your ID number; I'll have someone book your ticket."
Huang Mengni spoke hurriedly, and Zheng Yifan understood completely. After all, this was such a significant matter, and her mother was constantly pressuring her. If she couldn’t escape this calamity, she truly didn’t know how she would face her mother again.
In an instant, it felt like everything had collapsed around her. In her confusion, there were only two people in her heart: one was her father and the other was this man she had known for just over a week.
For reasons unknown, perhaps a moment of impulse or some inexplicable feeling, she could only make this choice. Others could not care for her during the journey, and going alone to an unfamiliar place was daunting.
Just imagine how helpless that would be, especially since it wasn't even within the country; she didn't even know how she would survive.
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Yifan called the Xingye Bank Manager, whose name he still didn't know, asking him to change his flight to the earliest possible departure and to book a neighboring seat for Huang Mengni as well.
The manager readily agreed. Zheng Yifan had gradually become one of their major clients, primarily due to the astonishingly large Solar Photovoltaic Power Station project, making him one of the biggest clients they had access to.
A massive patent barrier was slowly forming. What originally required years to apply for was being tackled at a breakneck speed under Berry's leadership, as they relentlessly approached patent offices in various countries. Efficiency is life; this was Berry's motto.
And he truly lived by it.
Now, aside from Jessica and the butler, the entire team seemed energized as if they had been injected with enthusiasm. The team was slowly expanding, but their ten positions remained unshakeable.
Changing into casual clothes bought in France, he placed his documents in Storage Space. It felt like going out for a picnic as Zheng Yifan took a taxi to the airport.
After some time, the manager who still couldn't remember his name worked tirelessly to secure two tickets for Zhang Tou and himself.
Upon seeing Zheng Yifan, the manager excitedly handed over the tickets. This was the future Wealth God; getting on this fast track would surely boost his standing in the company and lead to skyrocketing performance.
He had never imagined that someone would dare to independently establish such a large Solar Photovoltaic Power Station. Even banks were unwilling to apply for loans for it.
Before long, Zheng Yifan received a call from Huang Mengni. In the lobby, he met both of them.
Huang Mengni's father appeared to be a rather refined middle-aged man. If one only looked at his face, they might think he was under forty; only the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes revealed his true age.
"Young man, you must be Mengni's boyfriend. Truly a talented young man," Huang Mengni's father said as he shook hands with Zheng Yifan and then praised him.
After some grooming, Zheng Yifan's robust physique and increasingly handsome features due to genetic evolution added to his appeal. Moreover, he had stepped up during Huang Mengni's most challenging times; it seemed he wasn't a bad person after all.
Unfortunately, he did not know. His daughter had told him a kind lie; Zheng Yifan and she were not in a romantic relationship.
"Uncle, you are the one who exudes charisma. I'm just a young man with a bit of luck," Zheng Yifan exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Huang Mengni's Father before time pressed them to the counter to check in for their flight.
At that moment, Huang Mengni's Father also proceeded to check in, but his destination was different from Huang Mengni's. He was heading to the United States, where an elder of their family resided, and he needed to go there to hide for a while.
Huang Mengni's whereabouts could not be known to Mother Huang; otherwise, she would pressure her daughter again. However, he did not care. Even if she found out where he was, that elder could still shelter him.
As for Huang Mengni, she clearly could not avoid Mother Huang's relentless nagging and the pull of familial ties. He feared that his daughter might impulsively make a foolish decision.
In the first-class lounge, Zheng Yifan quietly listened to Huang Mengni's murmured self-talk as they waited for their flight.
Just then, a figure burst in. The luxurious clothing was already showing signs of tearing, and both eyes were bloodshot, glaring intensely at Huang Mengni and Zheng Yifan as if they could shoot flames. The person lunged onto the sofa in front of Huang Mengni and shouted loudly.
"Mengni! You can't go with this wild man! What does he have to offer? Young Master Yin promised that if you stay with him, your father's factory will be overwhelmed with orders. He'll even give you a seaside villa and treat you like a legitimate wife! What more do you want? Do you need your mother to kneel before you to agree? This is our family's only way out! Are you really going to follow this poor guy into hardship? You bought this first-class ticket for him, didn't you?" Mother Huang screamed as if she had gone mad, causing those nearby to frown. Two security personnel approached to try and pull Mother Huang away.
However, they were stopped by several bodyguards. These were bodyguards sent by Young Master Yin, and once their identities were revealed, the security personnel found themselves at a loss.
"You shameless woman! You'd abandon your own daughter for money? Have you no shame? How could I have been so blinded by greed to marry someone like you, worse than an animal! When we get back, I will file for divorce!" Huang Mengni's Father slapped Mother Huang hard across the face, leaving five deep finger marks filled with his heart-wrenching anger as tears of unwillingness streamed down his face.
