One Useless Rebirth-Chapter 199: Qiu (1)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Time went by uneventfully for the two love birds. March was approaching, Huangdu, thanks to the joint efforts of Di Bian and Qin Li, was now taking a turn for the better, they somehow secured a huge amount of investments from an overseas company, their collapsing stock was stabilized by this cash flow.

Paparazzo took photos of Qin Li visiting Di Bian, according to them, this woman moved back to Di Mansion. Di Xiasong, who laid low for a long time now had involved in Huangdu, rumors had it that after the farce with Jin Qunya, Di Bian realized his blood Di Xiasong and his ex-wife Qin Li were the reliable, he decided to remarry Qin Li and entrust Di Xiasong to take over Huangdu.

Meanwhile the movie now officially entered publicity period, teasers and fun snaps on the setting were posted on the official Weibo account every day, the movie had been heatedly discussed by netizen.

Xing Shaofeng, who had recovered by now had officially taken his job, the first thing he had done was hiring several body guards for Di Qiuhe and He Bai, he planned to organize a whole team for Di Qiuhe in no time.

It looked like every one was on the right track, everyone started to focus on no one else but themselves.

However, what was underlying this was invisible wave.

“The company that invested in Huangdu is called Zhonglian, it is under Zeng Peizhong’s name.” Di Qiuhe leaned on the sofa, he rubbed his head which was a bit itchy from the costume wigs he had wore recently, he then went on explaining, “It is true that Zeng Peizhong was diagnosed with cancer, he doesn’t have long to live, but Qin Li doesn’t know the whole picture, she was kept in the dark about the fact that after Zeng Peizhong was diagnosed with cancer last year when he had a fall out with Qin Li, he went abroad and had a surrogate baby.

Rip.

He Bai was so taken aback that he ripped the magazine in his hand, he asked Di Qiuhe on the other side of the phone in shock, “He had a surrogate baby? Wait, wait, let me do the math, we met Zeng Peizhong last October, he went abroad and got it done after that, which means his baby now is….

“Four month pregnancy, due in five months and a bit. The doctor says Zeng Peizhong is suffering terminal cancer, he’s only got six months or so to live.” Di Qiuhe answered straightforwardly, he thought about when he contacted Zeng Peizhong lately, Zeng Peizhong sounded so lifeless and he got emotional, then he added, “Zeng told me he would try his best to live to the day when his baby is born and he will get everything arranged for his baby.”

Hearing that, He Bai also went silent, recalling last time when he accidentally overheard Zeng Peizhong in the villa, his voice was already oddly hoarse, He Bai sighed and asked with concern, “What on earth is his plan? Why did he surrogate a baby at this point? He is still married with Qin Li, after he died, wouldn’t his baby be in danger?”

Di Qiuhe shook his head on the other side of the phone, he was also worried for the unborn little baby, “I have no idea about his plan about the baby to be honest, but at the moment he wants Qin Li to be actively involved in Huangdu, when the company is fully within Qin Li’s control, he would destroy it in person, he wants Qin Li to be devastated, he need to avenge. I figure he will divorce Qin Li and make his unborn baby the only inherit to his assets.”

He Bai frowned. A baby, or more accurately, an orphan baby with a huge amount of assets, such an easy target, unless Zeng Peizhong had other plans for it, it was no difference than a lamb stepped into a wolves cave, it remained a question mark whether the baby would grow up.

What made it more complicated was…

“Now that Zeng Peizhong and Qin Li had already got marriage certificate, they are legally husband and wife now, no way she could remarry Di Bian that easily, how can she take over Huangdu then? Is Di Bian stupid? Will he just stand and watch that happen? A shrewd and suspicious person Di Bian is, it’s gonna be hard for Qin Li to really take control of Huangdu.”

Di Qiuhe couldn’t help but crack a smile listening to the tone of his puppy, he could picture puppy’s face now, concern written all over his face, he comforted He Bai gently, “Qiuhe, Huangdu is founded by your grandfather after all, it’s heartbreaking seeing your grandfather’s hard work going through all this…”

“Huading is the real spirit of Huangdu, the Huangdu my grandfather would like to see.” Di Qiuhe appreciated He Bai’s thoughts, he continued to explain, “Grandfather told me before, he meant to name Huangdu Huading in the beginning, but back then grandmother thought the name Huading was a bit basic, and she was superstitious, so they named the company Huangdu at last. Hmm, as time advances, we’d better abandon those superstitious thoughts.”

He Bai did not know about this, now he was rest assured, he leaned on the sofa comfortably, said in a delighted tone, “I agree, let’s grab some popcorn and watch some drama then.”

The drama which was on stage since last generation now finally about to finish at this generation.

Zhonglian, the new investor of Huangdu, suddenly became petty after the first round of capital injection, which tied Di Bian and Qin Li in this matter, they were so busy negotiating with Zhonglia that they didn’t have energy deal with any other business.

While Huading, had already on the track of transformation when Huangdu was in deep trouble, they integrated their departments and made their teams more specific, and step by step they shifted their development focus on show business, and they poached several celebrities from Huangdu when the company suffered scandals. What was more, they cooperated with the TV station and they were about to sponsor a talent show.

After all those big moves, Huading also bought over several copyrights of famous novels and games, they were considering created hype using those big IP for the celebrities of their own company.

And March passed by, a month looked uneventful but actually invisible waves kept rolling beneath the peace on the surface.

Soon He Bai got the notification that his work made it to the quarter-final in “International Art Festival for Uni Students” just as everyone had expected, and his work ranked the first among all the works made the cut.
