Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The Richest Person in the Magic Capital Changes!
The transfer of stock ownership in Ye Corporation caused quite a stir in Magic Capital; no one had envisioned that such a venerable enterprise would be taken over by someone acquiring a 51% stake. Wasn't that essentially the same as handing over the group to someone else?
But when they found out that the person who took over the shares was Song Yun, everyone backed off.
It was a joke—the two were essentially family! How was this different from moving money from the left pocket to the right pocket?
Now, what people were most interested in was just how much Song Yun's net worth was.
The Hua Country rich list followed suit, estimating Song Yun's current fortune and posted a message, confirming that the title of Magic Capital's richest had changed hands, now held by Song Yun!
People weren't surprised, only lamenting how Ye father had been boldly forging ahead in his youth and in his middle age, he had a good son-in-law to take his place. Ah, why couldn't their own daughters be more competitive!!!
At the Ye family residence.
After Song Yun and Ye Qingqing discussed what had just happened in the house, Ye Qingqing wasn't as disheartened as expected; instead, she was quite excited.
She leapt onto Song Yun's back and exclaimed, "Husband, you're so awesome!"
"You're not mad about me trading money for shares?"
"Of course not." Ye Qingqing kissed Song Yun's cheek and said with a giggly smile, "Who in this world gets a free lunch? You didn't lend Dad 50 billion with the intention of making a profit, and Dad didn't take advantage of you, isn't this the brilliance of human nature?"
"Is that really what you think?"
"Yeah! Otherwise, what? I'm not like some people who prioritize their parental home over their own marriage. To me, once you're married, of course the first thing you consider is how to better manage our home, and as for helping out the parental home, it's okay, but not for free!"
Song Yun chuckled and said, "Aren't you afraid your in-laws will know what you said and beat you up?"
"I'm not afraid at all, my husband's fortune is now surely that of Magic Capital's richest man—I am the wife of the richest man!"
The couple fooled around for a while before they went downstairs to get ready for dinner.
But just then, a crowd had gathered at the intersection ahead, completely blocking the already narrow road.
Bao Ding's vigilance rose immediately. He slowly pulled the car over to the side, furrowed his brows, and said, "Don't get out of the car, no matter what. I'll go check what's happening! Lock the car doors after I get out, and don't open them unless I come back!"
He carefully opened the car door, and once he heard the sound of it locking from the inside, he walked towards the crowd with peace of mind.
About ten minutes later, Bao Ding came back and knocked on the window, telling Song Yun, "President Song, there was a car that hit an elderly man up ahead, and they're still squabbling about it. It's not getting resolved any time soon."
Song Yun unlocked the car, and after Bao Ding got in, he said, "Taking a detour would take us over an hour. I suggest we wait here for a bit; someone might come to solve the problem soon."
Song Yun nodded and asked, "Is anyone injured up ahead?"
"No serious injuries. It was just a luxury car that hit an elderly man who dashed out into the road. The old man was carrying a sack full of empty mineral water bottles, looking quite destitute, and he's a bit out of it. The driver of the luxury car has a big scratch on the front of his car and is fretting over it," Bao Ding explained.
While the three of them were chatting inside the car, traffic police arrived and began directing the flow of vehicles. The traffic slowly started moving again.
As they drove past the scene, Song Yun glanced at the bewildered elderly man sitting on the ground and suddenly demanded to stop the car.
He frantically opened the car door and ran toward the elderly man.
Bao Ding was startled by Song Yun's action; he unbuckled his seatbelt and quickly followed, scanning the surrounding crowd vigilantly, fearing someone with ill intentions might emerge.
The scene had been cordoned off by the traffic police with a few traffic cones, and the owner of the luxury car stood by his vehicle, sighing dejectedly. He hadn't done anything to deserve this; his new car, which he had only had for a month, was now damaged in an accident. To make matters worse, the elder who was responsible for his heavy loss seemed to be a simpleton.
Damn, his luck was just too bad!
"Old man, stop sitting there pretending to be pitiful! Get your family here to talk about compensation. I'm telling you, this won't settle for anything less than thirty or fifty thousand!"
The owner of the luxury car lightly kicked the elder sitting on the ground, his tone dissatisfied.
But the old man just stared, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Damn it, are you a mute or something? I'm talking to you!"
