Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Double Legs 11-way

"It’s over, what on earth did you go off to do? Why are you only coming back now?"

Hearing this, Liu Mengting stared at Tang Ming angrily, "This is about the ownership of the Chen Group, if we lose, what’s going to happen to little Cang Cang?"

"Yeah, yeah, I was still planning to sleep in the presidential suite of the Jun Tianhao Hotel, looks like that’s ruined now."

Li Xiaoli shook her head continuously, her face full of disappointment.

"Heh, I couldn’t help it, something came up that I absolutely had to attend to."

Tang Ming shrugged, as this related to his background, even if it turned out to be a misunderstanding, he still had to investigate given the situation at the time.

"Then, Brother Ming, do you still have the confidence to beat Mo Hongsheng?"

Zhou Dahai asked Tang Ming nervously.

"I really can’t say for sure."

Tang Ming shook his head and sighed helplessly, "I missed the twenty points from the listening section, could only guess, and there wasn’t enough time for the essay and passages, those thirty points are definitely gone."

"We’re done for."

Upon hearing this, everyone despaired, for even with perfect scores in the remaining subjects and Tang Ming’s previous three, the total would only be seven hundred, and given Mo Hongsheng’s previous performance, they were bound to lose.

"Heh, young master, let’s go."

Seeing Liu Mengting and the others with their dejected expressions, Xiao Wen grinned and pulled Mo Hongsheng, who seemed to want to say something, towards the exit.

After the exam ended and school was out, a group of people walked out of the school with drooping heads.

"Chen Cang, don’t be too upset, if we really lose the Chen Group, I will gift twenty percent of Tangming Group’s shares to the Chen Family, ensuring the Chen Family will not decline."

Tang Ming looked at Chen Cang, who was being supported by Zhou Dafu, and promised solemnly; he felt responsible for Chen Cang’s losses due to his own exam delay.

"Brother Ming, the loss of the Chen Group is a minor issue; what we are really forfeiting here is the chance to absorb Jun Tianhao Hotel."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang’s mood immediately improved, but then he adopted a regretful expression.

The Tangming Group was now a super-corporation known domestically and abroad; twenty percent of its shares were worth far more than the entire earnings of the Chen Group. Knowing that the Ma Family, Li Family, and Zhou Family together only held forty percent of the shares, averaging less than fifteen percent each, if the Chen Family really acquired twenty percent, they would become the second-largest shareholder of Tangming Group, which was clearly more beneficial than harmful.

But Chen Cang understood that Tang Ming was using his own benefits to compensate the Chen Family, while Mo Hongsheng had simply picked up the Chen Group for nothing, making the whole situation feel extremely suffocating no matter how he thought about it.

"There’s nothing we can do about it."

Tang Ming gave a faint smile, but in his heart, he was much concerned about the news from Mo Hong; money can be re-earned, but information that might help him restore his cultivation was another matter entirely.

"Mm-hmm, let’s not be too pessimistic; the results haven’t been announced yet!"

Seeing everyone feeling down, Li Xiaoli shouted energetically, "Anyway, the final exams are finally over, maybe Mo Hongsheng had a bad day, maybe Brother Tang Ming’s scores are enough to crush him, all these things are uncertain. Let’s not worry ourselves with wild guesses and find somewhere to have fun instead?"

"Xiaoli, do you think I’m in the mood to have fun right now?"

Chen Cang looked at Li Xiaoli with a despondent face, "Even if Brother Tang Ming is willing to compensate me with shares of Tangming Group, it’s still his loss in the end, and that bastard ends up benefitting from it, it’s really frustrating."

"Now that things have come to this, we can only accept reality."

Liu Mengting looked at Chen Cang with sympathy, then glared fiercely at Tang Ming, "We’ll invite Chen Cang out to eat, then go shopping and have a good time, after all, winter vacation has officially started."

"Yay, yay! Tang Ming brother, where’s my car?"

Li Xiaoli cheered, excitedly reaching out to Tang Ming for the car keys.

"The car... I left your car in the North Suburb, I’ll call someone to retrieve it right now."

Tang Ming had just remembered the car, hurriedly calling Ma Benyue and instructing someone to take gasoline and retrieve the car, since the keys were in the car and it could be driven away as long as there was fuel.

"North Suburb?"

Hearing this, the group looked at Tang Ming with puzzlement.

"The North Suburb is more than a hundred kilometers away from here. How did you get back after leaving the car there?"

Xia Wei’er couldn’t help but ask, "Where were you and what were you doing?"

"Exactly, exactly, such a long distance, even by car, would take at least two to three hours round trip!"

Li Xiaoli was also completely baffled.

"Heh, I took bus number 11 to come back," Tang Ming said with a bitter smile.

"Impossible, the number 11 bus doesn’t even go to the North Suburb. Plus, if you took the bus, it would be even slower, and it’s even less likely you made it back before the end of the test."

Xia Wei’er, who was very familiar with the bus routes of Songlan City, immediately refuted this.

"I ran back."

Tang Ming touched his nose, "My legs, my ’bus number 11’."

In reality, with the normal speed of a Six-star Martial Master, there was no way he could have made it back in that distance, but when he was in the orphanage, he ate crazily, concentrating the energy in his body into his legs. With the aid of his movement technique, he was able to burst forth with extraordinary speed, enabling him to return twenty minutes before the exam.

This was also because he could convert the energy from food into energy, enabling him to achieve such a feat; otherwise, even a Seven-star Martial Master couldn’t have managed to run back in the given time.

The moment they heard Tang Ming had run back, everyone was shocked. Although Tang Ming being late had serious consequences, the fact that he ran all that way back for the exam proved he was really putting in the effort.

Then Xia Wei’er enthusiastically invited everyone to the snack street’s cold drink shop to eat, and the group continued to stroll on the snack street.

Once the shopping started, the three girls instantly threw all their worries out of their mind and entered into a frenzied shopping spree, while Tang Ming followed the three girls as calmly as usual.

In contrast, Zhou Dafu and Chen Cang looked as if they had lost a loved one, dejectedly trailing behind Tang Ming.

This matter didn’t really concern Zhou Dafu, but Tang Ming had said that if he lost the match, he would have to give twenty percent of his company’s shares to Chen Cang, a thought that caused Zhou Dafu great pain.

As an existing shareholder of Tangming Group, Zhou Dafu knew all too well what that twenty percent represented. Those shares could easily buy out the Chen Group, but now those shares were being given away for nothing, and Zhou Dafu felt the loss on behalf of Tang Ming.

Chen Cang shared a similar sentiment. Although he would receive compensation from Tang Ming, the thought of Mo Hongsheng benefiting for nothing and Tang Ming suffering a loss made him feel guilty.
