He didn''t give Zhengyuan Company any face, nor did he give Meng Hui any face either.


    It was obvious that Meng Hui did not consider him important either.


    If Meng Hui didn''t respect him, why would he respect Meng Hui?


    As expected, when Meng Hui heard his words, he struggled to maintain his dignity, especially with his female secretary and subordinates standing next to him.


    If he didn''t reclaim some dignity, he would probably be ridiculed when he got back.


    Meng Hui''s expression turned cold, and he indeed exuded a bit of authority, "Qin Hao, I advise you not to be ungrateful.


    My Zhengyuan Company is an established business in Jiangshan City. You better consider the consequences of offending us."


    Qin Hao snorted coldly, "You can go and ask around who Qin Hao has ever been afraid of? Calling you Mr. Meng is giving you face, without giving you face you are nothing to me, get lost."


    Meng Hui''s face went from green to white, and he nodded fiercely, "Fine, we''ll see."


    After he spoke, he stood up and left with his people, looking extremely upset.


    After those people left, Kang Youyi hurriedly came over, "Hao, what happened?"


    Qin Hao shook his head, "Nothing, just a bunch of people trying to take advantage of us, block them outside if they come again."


    "Okay, sure Hao."


    ...


    A lot of people visit Qin Hao''s company this day, mostly local businesses from Jiangshan City.


    The talks mostly revolve around acquisitions and financing, these people are simply eyeing the potential of Jiangshan Roasted Duck, all wanting a piece of it.


    Qin Hao refused, as the company was not in need of cash nor did he plan to raise funds.


    He didn''t know if those people would hold a grudge, but if anyone dared to play dirty, he was no pushover either.


    August 26, one day before the university starts, he had already booked his ticket, for early morning at six tomorrow.


    He didn''t go to the company this day but stayed home packing.


    In the morning, he called Du Wanrou, who was also leaving tomorrow, but her parents were flying her there.


    Li Shujie didn''t go to work; she stayed at home helping her son pack his things.


    Mrs. Qin was still worried, "Xiao Hao, let your dad and me take you there tomorrow. What if you get deceived by someone in a place you''re unfamiliar with?"


    Qin Hao smiled and said, "Mom, I''m already an adult, I can make my own decisions, please don''t worry."


    Mrs. Qin, "You''re going to a strange city miles away, how could I not worry?"


    All that had to be built on a foundation of strength.


    He set a goal for himself.


    He wanted to expand his roasted duck business across the entire Shuinan Province before the New Year.


    He aimed to possess a force equal to or even surpassing that of Ounuo Company, so that nothing would stand in his way with Du Wanrou.


    He woke up at five o''clock the next morning.


    Mr. and Mrs. Qin were also up; they had a quick bite, and then drove him to the train station.


    All the way there, Mrs. Qin kept instructing him to be careful while he was away and to call home if anything came up.


    Mr. Qin parked the car and then walked him into the train station.


    Qin Hao first collected his ticket, then entered the waiting hall. He had bought a high-speed train ticket, which would get him there in about five hours.


    The waiting hall was crowded with people. These few days marked the peak of school starts, so there were many students traveling.


    Moreover, many students were accompanied by their parents, making it even more crowded.


    Qin Hao looked at his parents beside him and said, "Mom, Dad, you should head back. They''re about to start checking tickets; I''ll go in first."


    Mrs. Qin said, "Why the rush? Mom hasn''t had enough of seeing you yet. I don''t know when I''ll be able to see you again once you leave."


    Qin Hao felt a pang of sorrow upon hearing his mom''s words; this was his first time traveling far.


    His emotions were complex, filled with excitement as well as reluctance and uncertainty.


    At six fifteen,


    the employees began checking tickets for Qin Hao''s train, and he turned and said, "Mom, Dad, you should go back."


    Mr. Qin said, "It''s fine; we''ll leave in a bit."


    Qin Hao took a deep breath, pulled his suitcase, and headed to the ticket gate, not daring to look back. He was afraid of seeing his mom''s teary eyes.


    He was also afraid that he couldn''t stop his own tears.


    After waiting a few minutes, it was Qin Hao''s turn; once the checker had inspected his ticket, he walked through the gate.


    He couldn''t help but look back; his parents were still standing there, watching in his direction.


    Youguo saw him turn and waved at him.


    Mrs. Qin was wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, her face breaking into a smile as she looked at him.


    Qin Hao waved back, then turned and walked into the passageway, "I''m coming, Jianghai City!"
