Leveling Up With My Pet

As Liu Yong observed Bawang's situation, the office door opened softly, and Ding Wen walked with a cheerful smile.

Ding Wen was one of the few people who could enter Liu Yong's office without knocking on the door. "Hello Brother Yong!" he greeted warmly.

"You boy, why are you here today when you're free?" Liu Yong asked curiously.

"I skipped class today, so I stopped by your place to take a look," Ding Wen replied with a playful grin. Without waiting for an invitation, he helped himself to coffee and sat on the sofa.

"You kid, what have you been busy with lately?" Liu Yong inquired, noticing that he had not seen Ding Wen much since school started.

"I want to start a business. I can't just sit around and do nothing. I asked my dad for 200 million yuan, and I am registering a cultural company," Ding Wen shared excitedly.

"A cultural company? Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry?" Liu Yong asked, intrigued.

"No, no. My cultural company is mainly engaged in the exchange, appraisal, and dissemination of antique collection culture. If there are good collections, I will buy them at a low price and then sell them at a high price. I also plan to organize some auctions," Ding Wen explained, his passion for antique collection evident in his voice.

"Auctions are one of the main profit methods of our company. It would be great if one day our company's auctions can be compared to those held by famous auction houses such as Christie's," Ding Wen added with a hopeful tone.

Liu Yong nodded in agreement, "Not bad, you have ambition and ideals, I think you will succeed."

The antique collection was Ding Wen's passion, and he had significant professional knowledge. He could be regarded as a professional counterpart in this field.

"Brother Yong, you support my business!" Ding Wen exclaimed, grateful for Liu Yong's encouragement.

"Of course I support it. This is a good thing. You should really find something to do, but the premise is that you don't delay your studies," Liu Yong cautioned, always looking out for Ding Wen's best interests.

"There will be no delay. My academic requirements are not high. As long as I don't fail a subject and graduate smoothly," Ding Wen assured him.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ding Wen humbly requested, "Brother Yong, I'm ready to start a business. You don't want to support me, such as investing a little money."

Liu Yong hesitated momentarily, "Don't you already have a start-up capital of 200 million? It should be enough."

"This start-up capital, of course, the more the better, how about you invest one or two hundred million," Ding Wen asked hopefully, looking at Liu Yong with a pleading expression.

Liu Yong smiled, "Brother, I have no plans in this regard for the time being. All my money will be used to buy ships. I will first expand my ocean shipping business."

Ding Wen wasn't ready to give up just yet, "Stop, Brother Yong, I need your investment," he begged, looking pitiful.

Liu Yong softened his heart, "Okay, I can't stand others begging me, so I'll vote 100 million."

Ding Wen's face lit up joyfully, "That's great, Brother Yong, you are so kind. I have 200 million, and you contribute 100 million. The new company will have a start-up capital of 300 million. How about you taking 35% of the shares?"

Liu Yong agreed, "Yes, it doesn't matter how many shares you want. I declare in advance that I will not participate in the management of the company. If I make a profit, I can pay dividends according to this share ratio."

"Of course, of course." Ding Wen was pleased.

The primary purpose of his coming here was to raise funds. He had achieved his goal here with Liu Yong and left happily, thanking him repeatedly.

The following day, Liu Yong arrived at the company premises just before nine in the morning.

He interviewed the elite talents shortlisted by the headhunting agency. After conducting the interviews, Liu Yong was particularly impressed with a candidate named Ren Wei.

Ren Wei, a 37-year-old doctor who had returned from overseas, had worked as a management manager in a major multinational company for several years. What set Ren Wei apart was his experience in the overseas ocean shipping group, where he had spent over three years working in the industry.

Liu Yong appointed Ren Wei as the deputy general manager of Universal, a position ranking just below Hu Shijun, and he would also be involved in the company's ocean transportation business management.

With Qiu Yang, Hu Shijun, and Ren Wei on board, Universal finally had three senior executives. Liu Yong's workload would be significantly reduced, allowing him to adopt a more hands-off approach to the company's management.

He would not need to involve himself in the company's day-to-day affairs, only significant decisions and the overall direction of the company's development.

Liu Yong told his newly appointed team, "I have great faith in your abilities, and I am confident you will take this company to greater heights. As senior executives of Universal, you must work together to ensure the company's success. I trust that you will make the right decisions and lead us to prosperity."

After a few days...

After spending a few days in the Huahai City Hospital, Liu Hongfu made a remarkable recovery and met the discharge standard. Chen Hu drove the car while Liu Yong accompanied his father to go through the discharge procedures in person.

As Liu Hongfu left the hospital, he said: "No, I can walk without your help."

Liu Yong smiled slightly, "It's okay, Dad. I know you can walk alone now, but let me help you anyway." He knew his father's current situation, and it wouldn't hurt to provide him with some assistance.

After leaving the hospital, they headed straight to the villa.

As soon as they walked in, Liu Hongfu was amazed at sight before him. It was his first time coming to this villa. Though he had heard Liu Yong, Liu Lan, or Zhou Xiuying briefly talk about it, he still couldn't believe his eyes.

"This is the stacked villa you bought, Xiaoyong? It's so big and luxurious, it feels like a dream!" Liu Hongfu exclaimed.

Liu Yong replied, "Yes, Dad. This is the house I bought in Huahai City. It has three floors. The third floor has a sun room and a large terrace. If the weather is fine, you can drink tea and bask in the sun."

Liu Yong then took them to the bedroom, saying, "Come on, I'll take you there. You and Mom will live in this room. How about it? Do you like it?"

Liu Hongfu had never seen such a good bedroom in his life and repeatedly nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay, yes, this place must be comfortable to live in."

Liu Yong introduced the basic situation of this main bedroom, "Dad, Liu Lan also comes back to live occasionally, and her bedroom is also on this floor."

Liu Hongfu happily replied, "Good, good." He was in high spirits at the moment.

On this floor was a large living room, a main bedroom, two secondary bedrooms, a small study room, and a lovely reception room.

In addition to primary and two secondary bedrooms, the second floor featured a large study room much larger than the first.

In addition, there was a large gym on this floor.

Liu Hongfu looked around the place, satisfaction and joy written on his face. He never dreamed that his son was so successful that he could buy such a good house in Huahai City.
