Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 100 Million

Liu Qing yearned for a life of idleness.

He wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally and count money until his hands cramped up.

He wanted to have plenty of free time and endless money

He wanted to buy things solely based on only his preferences and not the price.

He wanted to be able to go wherever he wished.

He wanted to choose the former option, but he hesitated before the words left his mouth.

Ding Yun’s meaning was obvious. He could only choose one of the two options. If he chose to be a good-for-nothing playboy, then he would have nothing more to do with Tianyuan Group and its assets worth tens of billions, and she would not give him another chance.

No one would be willing to support an aspiring playboy without ambitions to head a company. It was not an issue of wasting salary on a person. It was an issue of whether the entire company’s fortune would be squandered.

It would be a disaster when a company is run by an incapable person.

Even a company with hundreds of billions of assets could be wiped out quickly, what more a company with just tens of billions.

If he did not participate in the management of the company, he could just collect the dividends and splurge however he wanted. In any case, there would be dividends every year.

He wanted to live a leisurely life.

However, he also did not want to let his life go to waste just like that.

This made him a little conflicted.

Then, he thought of another question. What kind of person did Ding Yun want him to be?

That was actually the most important thing.

It could not be that she wanted him to be a good-for-nothing playboy?

The fact that she asked to meet him at the office already said it all.

He was an abandoned pawn that had only just been picked up again. He did not have a very good relationship with Ding Yun yet, so it would be better to follow her wishes.

He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

“Mom, I’m sure you know by now that I did not have much education. After I started work, all my jobs were very low-level jobs. I don’t have any management experience. To be honest, I don’t have any confidence in managing such a large company.”

Ding Yun acknowledged his reply and seemed a little disappointed when she looked at him.

Liu Qing then spoke again.

“Still, I’d like to try. I think people have to do something in their lives. They have to leave something behind and shouldn’t just be a freeloader.”

A smile appeared on Ding Yun’s face.

“So,” Liu Qing said as he looked at Ding Yun. “Mom, I want to try. I hope you can give me this chance.”

Ding Yun said, “You’re my son. You’re my only son. I’ll give you any chance that I can

give.”

There was a pause before she said, “But you have to understand that I don’t own this company alone. With your educational level and lack of management experience, I won’t be able to convince the board that you can run a company of this size. To be honest, I can’t even convince myself of that.”

Liu Qing nodded. “Yes, company decisions should not be made lightly.”

Ding Yun said, “As long as you’re willing to work hard, I’ll give you a chance. But that chance can’t be for you to take charge of this company immediately. Although I have that authority, I can’t take that risk. Do you understand?”

“I can understand that, mom,” Liu Qing said.

He began to wonder if Ding Yun meant to arrange a low-level management position for him in the company and let him slowly climb up the ranks.

As long as there was someone pulling him from above, it should be an easy climb up.

From the information he received from the receptionist, Su Qi also climbed up step by step until she reached the position of vice president.

Not only was she the chairman’s daughter, but she was also an Ivy League university graduate. She still had to start from the lower levels.

It would not be any different for him.

He believed that he could pass the test.

He did not have any talent for business, but he had the golden reputation of being the chairwoman’s son. It should be enough to attract talented people to gather around him and help him conquer the world.

That would be good enough.

“It’s good that you can understand,” Ding Yun said. “I originally wanted to arrange for you to get trained at the company headquarters. But then I thought about it, many staff at the company headquarters are under that girl. Your identity as the crown prince might hinder your progress and you might even be ostracized. So my idea is to give you some money and let you run one of the smaller companies to prove yourself. What do you think?” “No problem,” said Liu Qing.

He was not picky. He would take whatever he was given.

Ding Yun was satisfied with his answer and said, “You’ve been living in Pengcheng all these years, right? At the end of last year, that old thing invested in a company in Pengcheng with a registered capital of 10 million dollars. It’s some new media company. As the investment was done with the company’s money, it’s considered a company under Tianyuan Group. I don’t have much money on hand now, so I can only transfer 100 million dollars to you as your personal investment into that company. In the future, although that company is still part of the group, you’ll be the majority shareholder. It can even be considered your own company.”

Liu Qing’s heart almost skipped a beat when he heard the amount of 100 million dollars.

That should not be called not having much money. That was simply too much money.

Even for a company like Tianyuan Group with assets worth tens of billions, it was not that easy to get 100 million dollars in cash.

Assets were assets and cash was cash, they were not the same things.

It was still unknown whether he could eventually inherit the assets worth tens of billions of dollars.

If the 100 million dollars in cash could reach his bank account now, then that was something real and tangible.

With the amount of 100 million dollars, he would not have to worry about living a good life for the rest of his life.

He was so excited that his voice trembled when he spoke. “Mom, thank you for trusting me. I definitely won’t let you down!”

“It’s not that I trust you. I just want to see if my son has what it takes.”

Ding Yun sighed and said.

“The amount of 100 million dollars is almost all the money I can spare now. You can spend it however you want and I won’t interfere. But I hope you can make money so that I can trust you to run Tianyuan Group in the future. If you lose all that money and don’t make a single cent, I won’t blame you. If that happens, then I hope you can just enjoy life in the future, have more children, and don’t think about being a boss ever again.”

Liu Qing understood the meaning of having more children.

It meant that he would be considered useless and his only purpose was to be a tool to create and bring up the next generation. She would then see if there was a more outstanding person within the next generation that she could nurture.

After all, Ding Yun was only 50 years old. If she took good care of herself, she could still busk in the light of the next generation.

Come to think of it, that kind of life was not particularly bad. It would just be a little embarrassing

In order for the next generation to have better genes, Ding Yun probably would not arrange for an ugly partner for him, right?

The worst case scenario was not too bad at all, so why hesitate?

He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, mom. I won’t let you down!”

He could ignore everything else for the time being. He had to get that company and the 100-million-dollar funding first.
