Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Mysterious Merchant As Xia Liu was about to enter the door, he heard Zhang Xiaoman say that and couldn’t help but turn around to smoke at the distant railing. Having just sent away the headache-inducing Liu Lanxin, Zhang Xiaoman might be giving him another headache. About half an hour later, Xia Liu finally entered the villa. By then, Huang Xue and Zhang Qing had both come down from upstairs. The four girls were sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing merrily. Xia Liu listened carefully for a while and felt nothing amiss, he even had some illusions; could it be that Xue’er and the others hadn’t told Zhang Xiaoman about the matter? ... That shouldn’t be the case, with Zhang Xiaoman’s intelligence, could she possibly know everything and be plotting something? “Brother Xia Liu!” Seeing Xia Liu enter, Zhang Xiaoman called out. Along with Zhang Xiaoman’s call were the gazes of Zhang Xiaoxue, Huang Xue, and Zhang Qing. The looks from the three women seemed to tell Xia Liu, you know what’s going on… Xia Liu, brimming with a smile, walked over to the sofa. “Xiaoman, now your Sister Xiaoxue and Sister Zhang have both started cultivating. Are you interested?” “Cultivation? What is that?” Zhang Xiaoman’s interest was instantly piqued by Xia Liu. “Xiaoman, let me tell you, we’re all cultivators now,” Zhang Xiaoxue said excitedly, holding Zhang Xiaoman’s hand. “Cultivators? Sister Xiaoxue, tell me quick, what is it?” Zhang Xiaoman had forgotten everything else, now only wanting to understand what cultivation and cultivators were all about. Seeing the excited Zhang Xiaoman, Xia Liu smiled slightly, finally diverting her attention, otherwise it would have been awkward later. As for explaining, it wasn’t Xia Liu’s turn to do so now. Zhang Xiaoxue, Huang Xue, and Zhang Qing each said a bit, and soon Zhang Xiaoman completely understood. “Wow! You three sisters are amazing! Can you now take on ten people each?” After understanding what cultivation was, Zhang Xiaoman said enviously. “I suppose so,” the three women said somewhat awkwardly. Although they felt their strength was overwhelming now, without testing, they really didn’t know to what extent they could reach. “Brother Xia Liu, can we take on ten people each?” Zhang Xiaoxue, uncertain, looked at Xia Liu, hoping the teacher could provide an answer. “If you practice your energy well and master the martial arts skills Lili taught you, don’t talk about ten people, even a hundred, a thousand ordinary strong men would be no match for you,” Xia Liu said confidently. “Wow! That’s really incredible!” “Is this for real!” “I’ve decided, starting today, I am going to seriously cultivate martial arts skills and cultivation techniques!” All four girls were excited, the idea of being able to defeat a hundred strong men was unimaginable before, now they were almost there! “Brother Xia Liu! I want to cultivate too! I want to become a cultivator!” Zhang Xiaoman said with a dour face. She felt a bit regretful; just missing school for two or three months, her friends had all become so powerful. She couldn’t fall behind, she must strive to blend into this sisterhood, otherwise she would truly regret it later. “Alright, alright, let Xiaoxue and Xue’er teach you to understand the cultivation techniques first. Cultivation is all about moderation, one step at a time; you can’t be too hasty, otherwise it will all be in vain in the end.” “Yes! I will definitely listen to Brother Xia Liu’s teachings,” Zhang Xiaoman said with eyes brimming with intense hope. She believed that she could also reach the same heights as her sisters. As the three women began to teach Zhang Xiaoman, Xia Liu left to visit the company. It was still early, and after checking the company, he could even spend a few hours playfully sparring with the girls before returning to cook. Upon arriving at Osmanthus Group, Xia Liu was respected by all employees. Even employees who had just joined the company revered Xia Liu immensely. Nowadays, in Hejing county, there was hardly anyone who did not know Xia Liu. Not to mention Osmanthus Group, where the first thing for new employees was to remember Xia Liu’s face. If they could not remember it, they would use his photo as their computer wallpaper, to see it every day, and if they still couldn’t remember Xia Liu’s face, then they would resign on their own. Arriving at the top-floor office, Xia Liu found the girls busy at work. Even Rose, a special girl, was doing clerical work. Seeing Xia Liu arrive, Fang Fei immediately stopped her work and said with a grin, “How come you are back so soon this time?” “Xia Liu is back!” “This time he even came back early, which is really great.” Gu Fangxia and Li Qianqian also looked at Xia Liu happily and greeted him. “Yes, nothing strange happened, so I returned quite quickly. How is everything going at the company?” “Great God Red Dragon Shadow, you really are carefree, leaving the company to your wives and letting them work themselves to exhaustion. This is the first time I’ve heard you ask about the company,” said Rose, looking seriously at Xia Liu with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. “Heh, truly sorry to my wives, I will definitely stay at the company more from now on and work alongside you all,” Xia Liu said, rubbing his head. Rose was right; he needed to work more, otherwise the girls would be too exhausted. “Hehe, Xia Liu, you don’t need to do that; there’s not much going on at the company, and we handle it quite easily. Remember, you have six strong wives to back you up,” Gu Fangxia said cheerfully. “Exactly, we’re much tougher than you might think,” Li Qianqian said, nodding. “I think you should travel more and bring back some sisters for us, hehe…” Fang Fei, grinning, glanced at Rose as she spoke. “Ahem… Sister Fang, wasn’t there a mysterious investor coming to invest these days? Now that Great God Red Dragon Shadow is back, it’s time to handle this matter,” Rose coughed twice, then brought up the significant change concerning the industrial area. “Oh right! I almost forgot,” Fang Fei said, light striking her forehead. If not for Rose’s reminder, she might have forgotten this matter again. “What happened? Who is this mysterious investor?” Xia Liu frowned slightly, looking at Rose and Fang Fei, sensing this topic might be quite significant. “Xia Liu, it’s like this, a few days ago an out-of-province investor called us, saying they wanted to invest, but they would only make a decision after discussing it with you,” Fang Fei explained briefly. “They want to discuss it with me?” “Yes, they mentioned investing about a hundred billion, so they must meet with the real person in charge of Osmanthus Group.” “A hundred billion!” Xia Liu was somewhat surprised. Such an amount of money invested in Hejing could change the entire county. “Did they specifically ask to meet me?” Xia Liu asked, puzzled. This mysterious investor’s sudden approach was too abrupt, and Xia Liu knew that the person must have researched Osmanthus Group and knew he was here. COMMENT 0 comment Vote 3 left SEND GIFT
