"Haha, don't worry about me; I can handle this little amount of money." Xia Liu repeatedly declined their kind offers. One was a subordinate he hadn't seen in years, and the other was a hard-working female contractor; both had their difficulties, so how could he accept their money? Gu Fangxia and Knife Madman exchanged glances, both noticing the awkwardness in each other. After drinking several bottles of white wine with Xia Liu, Knife Madman left, reluctant, but with the beautiful Gu Fangxia there, he didn't want to disturb Xia Liu. Before leaving, he took Xia Liu's address, planning to visit Hejing County if there was a chance in the future. The atmosphere in the private room felt somewhat eerie with just the two of them left. Gu Fangxia was twenty-eight this year, slightly older than Xia Liu. "Sister Gu, when exactly will you be able to start the construction?" Lacking other topics, Xia Liu shifted the conversation to the construction project. "After I distribute the wages tomorrow, I'll give them a break to visit their families. With the site inspections and equipment setup, it won't take more than five days to begin," Gu Fangxia, with flushed cheeks from the alcohol, spoke with a bit of a slur. "Five days, huh…" Xia Liu murmured to himself, with the project nearly set and the wages still to be decided after Gu Fangxia's site inspection. The two of them chatted for a bit more, and by the end of it, Xia Liu hadn't expected Gu Fangxia to get drunk! She was leaning back now, her impressive figure prominently displayed, and her slit cheongsam subtly revealing a sliver of pale skin. Approaching her, Xia Liu could smell a fragrant scent. Xia Liu's head ached. How the hell was he supposed to handle this… Helplessly, he had to support Gu Fangxia to the car. After shaking her a few times without any response, he had no idea where she lived. It was late at night, so Xia Liu had to take Gu Fangxia to a hotel. Luckily, her handbag contained her ID. In a particular room, as soon as he helped Gu Fangxia through the door, she hugged Xia Liu: "Xia Liu, thank you for being here today. If it weren't for you, I might have been assaulted by Zhao Baoliang…." "No need to be formal, Sister Gu, it's very late. I'll help you rest," Xia Liu swallowed hard, realizing the close proximity intensified his urges as he observed her; any man would feel a strong impulse. Interestingly, she was wearing a cheongsam, exuding a strong Huaxia charm that could drive many men wild! Xia Liu clenched his teeth as he slowly assisted Gu Fangxia to the round bed, embarrassed. Wasn't it supposed to be a regular room? What the hell was with the round bed and those mood lights, and what's going on with that small room beside the bed! After settling Gu Fangxia down, Xia Liu repeatedly tugged at his hair, noticing in the small room beside the bed, there lay a special chair, a leather whip hung on the wall, along with handcuffs, candles, and such! Damn, it turned out to be a themed room! Xia Liu headed to the bathroom while invoking the Five Elements Mantra, knowing he had to control himself. If he dared touch Gu Fangxia, the project could be jeopardized. After showering, he lay down on the sofa. Even though Gu Fangxia was drunk and unconscious, he didn't dare make a move. Regrettably, Xia Liu didn't notice that Gu Fangxia on the bed hadn't closed her eyes, her face showing deep worry. She had thought that taking advantage of her drunken state, Xia Liu would seize the opportunity, but… Early in the morning before dawn, Xia Liu left the room. Right after he closed the door, Gu Fangxia got up as well. Neither of them had really slept. Gu Fangxia had been struggling with whether she should take the initiative, but just when she decided to, Xia Liu had already left. Well then… Gu Fangxia took a shower as daylight broke. When she went downstairs to check out, Xia Liu just happened to drive back. He bought some buns and soy milk, and couldn't help but laugh at Xia Liu's silly appearance. After breakfast, Xia Liu drove Gu Fangxia to the bank to withdraw three million in cash. Then they arrived at a certain square, which had already gathered quite a crowd. As soon as Xia Liu and Gu Fangxia appeared, it immediately provoked screams from everyone. Especially when Xia Liu was carrying two black bags, those were the bright red Huaxia currency! Brother Ming had already told everyone about last night's events before their arrival, and for this, Xia Liu instantly became an object of worship for everyone. Alone, he stormed into the Knife God Association, and with a word, he commanded Knife Madman to attack Zhao Baoliang. Not only did he beat Zhao Baoliang, but he also got the money, which had everyone clapping and cheering. "Good morning, everyone, our final payment is here, obtained by Xia Liu for us yesterday!" "Haha, thank Xia Liu!" As Gu Fangxia's words fell, over seventy people in the crowd immediately started chanting. "Zhao Baoliang not only paid up, but he also gave us a delay fee, a total of one and a half million in delay fees. When I call your name, come up and receive it!" As Gu Fangxia's voice fell, everyone at the scene burst into tears, fully aware of the situation. That one and a half million was not just a delay fee, it was clearly money Xia Liu had fought for. Seeing the situation, Gu Fangxia didn't seem to intend to keep the money for herself. "Thank you, Boss Xia Liu! Thank you, Sister Gu!" Enjoy more content from empire "Thank you, Boss Xia Liu! Thank you, Sister Gu!" The site stirred up once again, they felt fortunate to have kept going, fortunate to be following a good foreman. "Phew... finally done." After more than an hour of distributing money, Gu Fangxia finally finished. The workers at the site had also almost left, but they wouldn't forget, the project in Hejing County needed to get moving soon. "Sister Gu, did you distribute all three million?" Xia Liu had been observing from start to finish, and he realized that she had actually distributed all the three million earned yesterday, not leaving any backup for herself. "Yes, that's what they deserved to get. I have no burden, so I don't need much, just a few tens of thousands is enough." Gu Fangxia was easily content. The reason she became the foreman was so that she could receive projects and fight for more people to work and earn money. "Alright, I heard you sold your car; how about we go together to Hejing County?" "Really? That's so kind of you!" Gu Fangxia jumped up joyfully like a young girl upon hearing the news. Xia Liu gave a faint smile, his pupils reflecting the rapidly shaking objects, and he could imagine just how fierce that was. Following Gu Fangxia's directions, Xia Liu drove the car to a row of low-rent houses, and then followed her up to pack. An hour later, the BMW was already on its way back to Hejing County. Xia Liu's phone suddenly rang, and it was Fang Fei calling. "Xia Liu, did you handle everything well? Is that little b*tch still okay?" "Pfft!" Listening to Fang Fei's giggling voice, Xia Liu almost slammed his head on the steering wheel. What did she mean by 'is that little b*tch still okay'? Women's ways of talking were simply incredible!
