[Fantasy] A Harem Journey Through the Mortal World of Desire (Complete) - 7-9

Chapter 51 Iceberg and Blazing Flame

Dongfang Chaoyang ran to his brother Dongfang Chaohui's office and said, "Big brother, I heard the company is holding an extraordinary shareholders' meeting tomorrow, is that right?"

Dongfang Chaohui replied, "Yes, I was just about to inform you."

Dongfang Qian had already transferred some of his shares to his two sons, so both sons attended the shareholders' meeting. The shares he still retained were also represented by his eldest son.

Dongfang Chaoyang asked, "What's the matter? Why did you only inform me today about something so big?"

Dongfang Chaohui replied, "It's not like I wanted to convene this meeting. I only just found out myself. It was Mr. Zhang from the Long Group headquarters who requested it."

Dongfang Chaoyang was taken aback. "Zhang Chumin? Why did he think of convening a shareholders' meeting?"

Dongfang Chaohui nodded. "How would I know? There shouldn't be anything wrong. The Long Group wouldn't be interested in Huadong Media. If they were, they wouldn't have waited until today."

Dongfang Chaoyang nodded. "I think so too. Let's not speculate. When will Zhou Zixuan's matter be handled?" Dongfang Chaohui sneered. "She's made a lot of money these past few years. A few tens of millions won't bankrupt her. It doesn't matter if the compensation demand is high. Let the lawsuit drag on for a few years." "There's no need to kick her out of the company. Just keep her in the cold and watch her die."

Dongfang Chaoyang clapped his hands and said, "Big brother is brilliant. I'll go talk to the lawyer right away."

Dongfang Chaohui said, "Wait, organize the materials and handling opinions for Zhou Zixuan's case and bring them to the general meeting for public discussion tomorrow, so that Zhang Chumin won't have anything to say later."

Dongfang Chaoyang nodded and walked out of his brother's office.

Zhou Zixuan returned to the villa in his newly acquired Hongqi car. Although he knew it would scare his two best friends, Liang Jiali and Zhang Xin, he figured he'd announce his appointment as chairman of the East China Media Group tomorrow, and he might as well give them a heads-up tonight to avoid them blaming him for not being a good friend.

Sitting in this top-of-the-line Hongqi felt like being in his living room at home. The comfortable seats felt even more spacious and comfortable than his sofa at home. There was a folding table, a small bar, a video system, a computer, and even a bathroom. The table, TV, and computer could disappear with the touch of a button, making the interior even more spacious. The seats could even be folded into a comfortable bed. The control panel had many buttons, and Zhou Zixuan couldn't immediately figure out all the functions. As

soon as the car entered the city, several police cars surrounded it, escorting it. This wasn't intentional; the police didn't know who was in the car, but seeing such a top-of-the-line Hongqi would prompt them to report to the command center. They reported this to the authorities and arranged for a police escort. Because such vehicles are extremely rare, and the owners are of very high status, they couldn't afford to take responsibility if anything happened to anyone inside within their jurisdiction. Therefore, without prior notice, the police would automatically come to protect them, escorting them all the way to Zhou Zixuan's villa and only leaving after watching it drive into the yard.

In the villa's living room, Liang Jiali and the others were feeding Liu Xiaohai, one bite at a time. Liu Xiaohai's hands were wrapped in a blanket, preventing him from eating by himself, so they had to feed him. The food prepared by the Dai sisters was indeed excellent, and Liu Xiaohai was also hungry. At first, he ate with relish. But then things changed. Even after Liu Xiaohai was full, the four of them wouldn't let him go, insisting he keep eating. If anyone didn't eat a bite, they'd be accused of favoritism, especially Liang Jiali, who even threatened to tear off the blanket covering him.

When the top-of-the-line Hongqi, escorted by police cars, drove into the villa's courtyard, they were all stunned. Seeing Zhou Zixuan get out of the car, they couldn't believe it, standing there with their mouths agape.

Zhou Zixuan was also taken aback when he saw Liu Xiaohai wrapped in the blanket, then burst into laughter, "What happened to you? You didn't...you weren't raped by them, were you?"

Liu Xiaohai blushed and explained, "No, Sister Zhang washed my clothes, and I had nothing to wear, that's why I'm like this."

Liang Jiali couldn't help but ask, "You...why did you come back in this car?"

Zhou Zixuan smiled, "What do you think of my new car?"

Liang Jiali's eyes widened in surprise, "Your car?" "

Zhang Xin threatened, "Tell me what happened, or I won't give your treasure back!"

Zhou Zixuan laughed, "Want to know?... I'll tell you when we get upstairs."

She then pulled Liu Xiaohai from the sofa and went upstairs. Since she had only just met the Dai Jingjing sisters and didn't know them well, and they were young, she decided not to tell them yet.

Dai Jingjing and Dai Shasha were quite obedient, saying, "Sister Liang, Sister Zhang, you go upstairs. We'll take care of things here."

Liang Jiali and Zhang Xin didn't stand on ceremony and rushed upstairs.

Liu Xiaohai went into the bedroom, threw off the blanket, and crawled into bed. Liang Jiali and Zhang Xin followed, pestering Zhou Zixuan to explain.

Zhou Zixuan smiled without speaking, took a box and a document from her bag, and handed them to them, saying, "Take a look yourselves." They opened the box first, revealing a diamond

necklace set with hundreds of tiny diamonds, each the size of a soybean, dazzling under the light, all of top quality. The most striking was the pendant, a gigantic diamond larger than a thumb, almost the size of an egg, more dazzling and piercing than any of the other diamonds on the necklace, with a faint yellowish glow.

Zhang Xin, panting, asked, "This...this isn't the legendary 'Iceberg Blaze'?"

Liang Jiali grunted, covering her nose with her hand, and cried out, "Quick...get me some tissues...my nose is bleeding!"

Liu Xiaohai, hiding under the covers, couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't expected Liang Jiali to bleed from a nosebleed upon seeing a giant diamond; it was similar to Lin Hongwei seeing a beautiful woman.

Zhou Zixuan chuckled and handed Liang Jiali a pack of tissues, saying, "That's right, it's 'Iceberg Blaze.' Now take a look at that document." After quickly glancing at the document

, the two were speechless. If they hadn't witnessed Zhou Zixuan returning in a top-of-the-line Hongqi sedan and the 'Iceberg Flame' in the box, they certainly wouldn't have believed the document described granting Zhou Zixuan, who had no experience in this area, 51% of the shares in the East China Media Group, a company with a market value approaching 10 billion, with no conditions whatsoever—it was like giving it to her to play with.

Zhou Zixuan said, "Now you understand why I told you not to worry, right? Didn't the Dongfang brothers want to mess with me? I'm already being kind by not messing with them now."

Zhang Xin said, "I understand that now, but I still don't understand why the Long family would authorize you with 51% of the shares. Did Zhang Chumin take a liking to you?" "

That's all they could think. Zhang Chumin could afford to give her that necklace, but the 51% stake in East China Media belongs to the Long family. He wouldn't dare use his boss's assets to pick up girls. And that top-of-the-line Hongqi downstairs isn't something money can buy; Zhang Chumin himself isn't even qualified to ride in it.

" Zhou Zixuan laughed, "Did you see Zhang Chumin showing interest in me at the party that day? Was he trying to pick me up?"

Liang Jiali had long found Zhang Chumin's attitude towards Zhou Zixuan strange and blurted out, "No, I think it's like he's flattering you, and not the kind of flattery you give a girlfriend. It's like you're his boss... Ah! I understand, it's Long Hanhai who's taken a liking to you."

Zhou Zixuan blushed and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! Is Mr. Long that kind of person?"

Zhang Xin also said, "Long Hanhai and his wife's relationship hasn't changed in decades. They're both over 80 now, how could he possibly try to pick up a celebrity like others? But Long Hanhai also has a grandson... Could it be that he's taken a liking to Sister Zhou?"

I heard that Long Hanhai's grandson is named Long Xiaohai, only 17 years old. He lives with his grandmother in Hanhai Villa and has never left. Few people have seen him. But judging from Zhou Zixuan's attitude towards Liu Xiaohai these past few days, it doesn't seem like he's fallen for someone else... Wait... Liu Xiaohai... Long Xiaohai... 17 years old... Oh my god! Zhang Xin turned to look at Liu Xiaohai lying on the bed. Sure enough, his features resembled Long Hanhai's...

Zhou Zixuan smiled and said, "Yes, that's his grandson."

Liang Jiali was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said angrily, "You, Zhou Zixuan, you've really taken a fancy to a rich man. What about Liu Xiaohai? You... don't you think you've gone too far..."

Although she hadn't spent much time with Liu Xiaohai, only about a day, she had developed feelings for this innocent boy. Seeing Zhou Zixuan's change of heart, she couldn't help but curse him.

Zhang Xin laughed and said, "You're so silly."

Liang Jiali retorted, "Fine... you're all so smart, I never thought you were all like this."

Zhou Zixuan knew Zhang Xin had already guessed, and laughed, "Tell this little fool, she won't be able to guess."

Zhang Xin nodded to Liang Jiali and said, "Do you know what the young master of the Long family is called?"

Liang Jiali was stunned and said, "His name is Long Xiaohai, everyone on Earth knows that."

Zhang Xin continued to ask, "Then how old is Long Xiaohai this year?"

Liang Jiali said, "17 years old, I guess. Do you really think I'm an idiot, asking such questions?"

Zhang Xin pointed to Liu Xiaohai on the bed and said, "Then do you see any differences between him and Long Xiaohai?"

Liang Jiali was stunned for a moment, thinking about the differences between the two. Apart from the different surnames, their names and ages were the same. She remembered what Zhou Zixuan had told them yesterday... Liang Jiali suddenly rushed over, jumped onto the bed, and straddled... Liang Jiali suddenly rushed over, jumped onto the bed, straddled Liu Xiaohai, grabbed his neck with both hands, and shouted fiercely, "Tell me... what's your surname?" Liu Xiaohai said somewhat awkwardly, "Right now... right now... temporarily surnamed Liu." Liang Jiali was not about to give up, and said angrily

, " I 'm asking what your original surname was?" When Liu Xiaohai saw Zhou Zixuan return in a Hongqi car, he knew he couldn't hide it today, so he could only confess, "My surname is Long... my original surname was Long." Although Liang Jiali and Zhang Xin had guessed it, they were still very surprised and excited to hear Liu Xiaohai admit it himself. They never expected that the boy they had wrapped up like a "dumpling" and bullied all day was actually Long Xiaohai. Liang Jiali stuck out her tongue and asked, "We've wrapped you up like a dumpling today, you won't seek revenge later, will you?" Liu Xiaohai quickly replied, "Of course not. I hope you won't blame me for hiding my identity. I changed my surname to Liu to study, not to deceive anyone." Liang Jiali thought for a moment and said, "Alright... we won't blame you then. It seems being the young master of the Long family isn't easy." Liu Xiaohai nodded vigorously, agreeing with her. Zhou Zixuan said, "So, I didn't lie to you yesterday, did I? Have you made your decision now?" Zhang Xin and Liang Jiali, of course, knew that Zhou Zixuan was referring to becoming Liu Xiaohai's girlfriend. They had already made their decision yesterday, but now that they knew Liu Xiaohai was actually the legendary Long Xiaohai, they didn't know what to do. Although not many people had seen Long Xiaohai and didn't know if he was handsome or ugly, Long Xiaohai's status as the sole heir of Long Hanhai was undoubtedly the dream lover of most girls. Now that Long Xiaohai was right in front of them, seemingly within reach, they hesitated because he was even more perfect than they had imagined. Could they really have him? Zhou Zixuan, seeing their expressions, asked in surprise, "Yesterday you two looked like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, but today you seem hesitant." Liang Jiali retorted, "You're the one pouncing on your prey! I've decided not to be his girlfriend, but of course I won't let him go... I want to be your mistress." The last sentence was directed at Liu Xiaohai. Zhou Zixuan asked, puzzled, "What... what's the difference?" Liang Jiali said smugly, "Of course there's a difference. Now I believe what you said yesterday, that this guy will definitely have many wives in the future, and even if I marry him, I'll be a concubine. I'm not as pretty as Sister Zixuan, who knows if he'll still think of me after he has many wives, and I'll have to put up with the other wives' tempers. So I want to be his mistress, it's called 'the wildflower smells better than the garden flower.'" Zhou Zixuan was both amused and annoyed by her reasoning, and turned to Zhang Xin with a smile, asking, "What about you? What do you think, garden flower or wildflower?" Zhang Xin smiled and said, "Jiali's idea is good, I think it suits me too." Zhou Zixuan thought to herself that this was no different from being a girlfriend, and said nothing more, seeing Liang... Jiali remained perched on top of Liu Xiaohai, showing no intention of getting off. Knowing Liang Jiali had to travel out of town for a performance the next day, and wanting to accommodate her, Zhou Zixuan stood up and said, "I need to prepare for tomorrow's work tonight, so I'll sleep in the study. You can do whatever you want." Zhang Xin understood Zhou Zixuan's meaning, but she wasn't open-minded enough to share a bed with three people, so she also stood up and said, "I'm not going to join her. Zixuan, I'll go keep you company." Zhou Zixuan knew Zhang Xin was perceptive and experienced, much better than herself, and hoped she could help her in the future, so she happily said, "Okay, I really need your help in the future." The two ignored Liang Jiali, took their documents, and left the bedroom, closing the door behind them. Liu Xiaohai, seeing that they had decided whether to be his girlfriend or lover without consulting him, couldn't tell whether he felt joy or helplessness. If it were really up to him to make the decision, they really wouldn't know what to do. Perhaps they understood Liu Xiaohai's personality and didn't ask him. Anyway, they just wanted to stay by Liu Xiaohai's side and didn't want him to make any promises to them. Seeing Zhou Zixuan and Zhang Xin leave, Liang Jiali finally stopped riding on Liu Xiaohai and, without being polite to him, lifted the covers and crawled inside. Liang Jiali's hand slowly moved to Liu Xiaohai's waist, grasping his already hard lower body. She breathed hot air from her lips and said in a coquettish voice, "You little pervert, why did you take all your clothes off so early? Are you trying to bully me?" Liu Xiaohai almost fainted from anger again. They were the ones who washed his clothes today, leaving him naked all day, and now they were turning around and accusing him. He remembered his grandmother's teachings about how terrifying women were when he was little; now he realized how true they were. He really hadn't listened to his elders, and now he was suffering the consequences. However, he knew he couldn't argue with her; he wouldn't win anyway. Regardless of who bullied whom, they were both doomed. So he stopped talking, reached out and wrapped his arm around Liang Jiali's slender waist, flipping her over and pinning her beneath him. In the months since leaving Hanhai Manor, Liu Xiaohai had matured most quickly in matters of the flesh. While not exactly an expert, he possessed spiritual power, allowing him to clearly sense the needs of his partners, knowing how to arouse them, how to satisfy them, and even how to make them beg for mercy… Being wrapped up like a "dumpling" all day had ignited his desire to conquer. He had already forgotten his earlier promise not to seek revenge; he wanted her to beg for mercy beneath him. And he was determined that even if she begged, he wouldn't let her off. Liang Jiali, of course, didn't realize Liu Xiaohai's scheme. Seeing him become so proactive, she was overjoyed. She tightened her grip on his neck, and their lips immediately met in a tight kiss. Her other hand, gripping his genitals, didn't stop either, kneading them forcefully.

Liu Xiaohai slipped his hands inside Liang Jiali's clothes, probing and teasing her body in various ways. Using his mental power to sense her reactions, he quickly found the method that would most arouse her. Soon, the room was filled with Liang Jiali's soft moans and gasps.

Liang Jiali hadn't expected Liu Xiaohai's methods to be so powerful. His hands seemed to possess magic; wherever he touched, that spot became unbearably itchy, causing her whole body to tremble. She herself hadn't known these areas of her body were so sensitive. Before long, her desire was completely aroused, and she couldn't help but want him. But he showed no intention of giving in immediately, continuing to use his hands on her body in ways she both loved and hated, and it was becoming increasingly unbearable.

Liang Jiali now hated him so much she wanted to bite him to death, but she had no strength left. Even the hands that had been teasing Liu Xiaohai fell limply to their sides. She could only plead, "Xiaohai... I... I want..."

Before she could finish, Liu Xiaohai silenced her with a kiss, his hands continuing their work inside her clothes. Suddenly, Liang Jiali's moans turned into screams. Her limp hands seemed to regain their strength, and she clung to him tightly. Her legs kicked wildly, and her whole body trembled violently as she reached orgasm. Liu Xiaohai, however, did not stop. He knew that if he wanted revenge, this was the most crucial moment. His hands moved even further, determined to completely conquer her body.

With each further movement, Liang Jiali's screams grew louder, even becoming somewhat pitiful. She couldn't believe that she had reached orgasm in Liu Xiaohai's hands without even taking off her clothes. It was truly unbelievable. Now, besides being able to scream, she had no strength left to do anything else. Those hateful hands continued to tease her, her body trembling and convulsing in waves, as if she were dying of excitement. This continued for several minutes before the feeling gradually subsided, but she was like a lump of mud, her entire body soaked in sweat.

Liu Xiaohai, ultimately inexperienced, looked at Liang Jiali, now a limp mess under his hands, and, remembering how he'd finally gotten his revenge for being wrapped up like a "dumpling" all day, couldn't help but laugh smugly.

Liang Jiali, seeing his sly grin, immediately understood he was doing it on purpose, and gritted her teeth, saying, "You little rascal, you're really wicked...you just wait and see."

Liu Xiaohai quickly explained, "I just wanted to make you happy..."

Liang Jiali said hatefully, "You don't really want to touch me...if you don't like me, I'll just leave."

The more she thought about it, the more this seemed to happen, and her eyes reddened, on the verge of tears.

Liu Xiaohai hadn't expected his plan to backfire, causing Liang Jiali to misunderstand. Knowing that explaining was useless, he reached out and pulled Liang Jiali close, beginning to undress her.

Liang Jiali trembled, "You...what are you doing...I can't take it anymore, can you wait a bit..."

Liu Xiaohai didn't speak, gently removing Liang Jiali's already soaked clothes, then held her tightly, using his spiritual power to help her regain her strength.

Soon, Liang Jiali was radiant and her desire was aroused. Unlike Zhou Zixuan, who was completely ignorant in this area, she asked in surprise, "How did you do that? How did I recover so quickly..."

Liu Xiaohai thought for a moment and explained in a way she could accept, "This is our Long family's ancestral qigong, which can restore physical strength."

Liang Jiali didn't doubt his words, especially since she had now rekindled her desire and regained her strength, and launched a counterattack against Liu Xiaohai...

Lifting the blanket, Liang Jiali saw the huge penis between Liu Xiaohai's legs, which was covered with a terrifying purplish-red color. She asked breathlessly, "It's so big, is Sister Zixuan feeling very comfortable?"

Liu Xiaohai chuckled, "Whether she feels comfortable or not, I say it does. Do you believe me? Just experience it for yourself."

Liang Jiali blushed and grasped the huge penis, stroking it up and down a few times. She spread her legs and slowly brought her vagina closer to Liu Xiaohai's penis, first rubbing it against the outside.

"Oh... um... so comfortable... so comfortable..."

"You haven't gone in yet,"

Liu Xiaohai reminded her.

Liang Jiali blushed and argued, "It will hurt if I go in now, I need to get wet first."

Even as she said this, Liang Jiali was already impatient and almost couldn't wait any longer. Shaking her snow-white breasts, she straddled him, guided Liu Xiaohai's penis to her honeypot, and slowly lowered herself down.

With a "plop," Liang Jiali frowned, not daring to continue lowering herself. At her age, it was already so large; the satisfaction was self-evident.

Liu Xiaohai, however, was also impatient. She had piqued his interest, and he thought this woman was as eager as Zixuan, but seemed incredibly inexperienced. Fearing the passion wouldn't be enough, Liu Xiaohai thrust his hips forward, plunging his entire penis into Liang Jiali's honeypot.

"Ah...it hurts...it's so full...you little devil...um...don't thrust so hard...ah...I'm not...ready yet...oh oh..."

Liang Jiali quickly grabbed her sides with both hands, her buttocks rising and falling with each thrust. Liu Xiaohai's motor-like thrusting made her speech incoherent.

The sounds of slapping and slapping were incessant. Liang Jiali kept moaning and groaning, her two large breasts held in Liu Xiaohai's hands, gently rubbing and kneading them. Before long, she suddenly spasmed and tightened, experiencing a second orgasm.

"Um...it feels so good, Xiaohai...you're so amazing...I'm tired...let me rest for a bit, okay..."

Liang Jiali lay on top of Liu Xiaohai, her breath sweet against his ear.

Liu Xiaohai didn't give her time to rest. He used his spiritual power again, restoring Liang Jiali to her state. Feeling the enormous size inside her, Liang Jiali was full of energy again, but this time it was Liu Xiaohai's turn to take the initiative.

Positioning herself in a "push-the-cart" position, Liu Xiaohai penetrated her from behind. Watching his enormous penis thrust in and out of her honeyed hole, Liu Xiaohai became even more frenzied.

"Oh... um... ah. Thrust... it feels so good... thrust faster... thrust harder..."

Liang Jiali swayed her long hair, moaning and groaning, shaking her snowy buttocks to match Liu Xiaohai's thrusting movements.

What Liu Xiaohai didn't expect was that after experiencing the effects of this "qigong," Liang Jiali became unusually excited. Every time she was exhausted after the passion, she would ask Liu Xiaohai to help her recover her strength. Finally, as dawn approached, Liu Xiaohai had to feign that this "qigong" shouldn't be used too much, as it was harmful to the body, before she finally stopped.

After resting for a while, Liang Jiali, feeling extremely satisfied, lay on top of Liu Xiaohai, gazing at him with adoration, and asked, "You're so amazing. When you have many women in the future, will you still not want me?"

Liu Xiaohai, confused by her question, replied, "Of course not."

Liang Jiali lightly kissed him and said, "You men are all liars. I don't believe you. You're only 17 now, maybe later...maybe you'll dislike me."

Liu Xiaohai quickly added, "Really, I won't."

But he didn't know how to convince her.

Liang Jiali said, "How about this, you promise to write three songs for me. Once you write the third song and give it to me, it means you don't like me anymore, and you don't need to chase me away, I'll just leave..."

Liu Xiaohai interrupted, "Then I'll only give you two songs, never a third."

Liang Jiali laughed, "If you dare give me a third song, I'll...I'll bite you to death."

Liu Xiaohai: "..."

Chapter 53 Meeting

It was noon when Liu Xiaohai and Liang Jiali finally got up. After showering, they went downstairs together. Zhou Zixuan, Zhang Xin, and Dai Jingjing were all having lunch when they saw them come downstairs, and their gazes were a little strange.

Liang Jiali exclaimed, "You guys are really good friends, you didn't even invite us to lunch."

Zhang Xin scolded, "Who knows if you'll get up or not? You were noisy all night, and I didn't get a good night's sleep."

Dai Shasha said, "Yeah, you guys were so loud last night, like you were slaughtering a pig."

She then giggled with her sister, Dai Jingjing.

Liu Xiaohai, of course, blushed and couldn't speak. Liang Jiali ignored their teasing, pinched Dai Shasha, and said, "What do you know? This is an adult matter. What do you mean by 'slaughtering a pig'?"

Dai Jingjing retorted, "Tch! We know what you two are doing, it's just...it's just..." She blushed and couldn't continue, lowering her head and laughing, occasionally glancing at Liu Xiaohai.

Liang Jiali laughed, "I didn't realize you two little ones were so precocious. You'll both be there someday, then we'll have a contest. I don't believe your voices are any softer than mine."

Dai Jingjing and Dai Shasha both said at the same time, "Let's compete! Who's afraid of who?"

Zhou Zixuan couldn't stand it anymore and stopped them, saying, "Stop it! Don't corrupt the children."

She had listened to Liang Jiali's moaning all night, and she felt incredibly uncomfortable. After all, it was in her home, her bedroom, and with her sweetheart. Although it was her own choice, it was impossible for her not to care.

Liang Jiali experienced unprecedented joy that night and felt grateful to Zhou Zixuan. Seeing that Zhou Zixuan had spoken, she didn't dare say anything more and changed the subject, saying, "I'm going out of town soon, I really don't want to leave everyone."

Zhang Xin laughed, "You don't really want to leave everyone, I think you just don't want to leave one particular person."

Zhou Zixuan remembered she also had things to do, checked the time, and hurriedly said, "It's all your fault, I have important things to do later, I almost missed it, I'm not eating anymore, I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

She hurriedly put down her chopsticks and ran upstairs to get her things, then hurriedly ran back down, waved to everyone, and ran out.

************************************************** In the largest conference room at the headquarters of Huadong Media Group, the staff had already prepared the venue, but none of the shareholders attending the meeting had entered. They were all waiting at the main entrance for the people from Long's headquarters.

Suddenly, the sound of a helicopter's rotors rang out in the sky, getting closer and closer. Everyone looked up and saw a helicopter heading towards their office building, then stopping on the roof.

Dongfang Zhaohui hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, hurry to the rooftop! Mr. Zhang is here!"

He rushed through the door and headed for the elevator, and everyone else followed immediately. Fortunately, the building had four elevators, and because the group's major shareholders were all on the first floor welcoming Zhang Chumin, three of the elevators were guarded and not allowed to be used by others, which allowed all the shareholders to squeeze in.

As Dongfang Zhaohui led his group out of the elevator on the top floor, they saw Zhang Chumin and his group of four coming down from the rooftop passage. He hurriedly went to greet them, saying, "Mr. Zhang, you've arrived! We were waiting in the wrong place; we were waiting for you downstairs, haha."

Zhang Chumin waved his hand, saying, "Brother Dongfang, you're too kind. We're all family; there's no need for such formality."

Dongfang Zhaohui noticed Xiao Zhennan next to Zhang Chumin and asked in surprise, "Why is President Xiao here too?"

Zhang Chumin stepped in front, saying, "I invited Mr. Xiao. Let's go to the conference room first; we can't all have a meeting standing here."

Xiao Zhennan recognized Dongfang Zhaohui, but they weren't particularly close. They had only met a few times on important occasions, and Dongfang Zhaohui was always arrogant and dismissive of others.

Dongfang Zhaohui hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, let's go to the conference room and chat."

Although he was smiling, he was quite surprised by Xiao Zhennan's appearance. He wondered what the Long family wanted with him. Was they going to arrange for him to come to East China? The conference room was on the ground floor. Because there were several extra people, those who couldn't squeeze into the elevator went downstairs. Once inside the conference room, Dongfang Zhaohui invited Zhang Zhaohui to sit in the chairman's seat. Zhang Chumin smiled and sat down next to the chairman. Of course, he wanted Zhou Zixuan to sit there. Dongfang Zhaohui thought that Zhang Chumin wanted him, the president, to sit there, since he was the current president of the company and the chairman was his father. However, he didn't dare to sit there and instead sat down next to Zhang Chumin.

After everyone was seated, Dongfang Zhaohui turned to Zhang Chumin and asked, "Shall we begin now?"

Zhang Chumin replied, "No rush, someone else is coming soon. Let's chat for a bit."

Dongfang Zhaohui didn't dare ask any more questions and nodded, saying, "Alright, I have something I'd like to discuss with Mr. Zhang, otherwise I wouldn't dare make the decision."

Zhang Chumin asked curiously, "Is that so? You know I never concern myself with management matters in East China. Is it a personal matter?"

Dongfang Zhaohui quickly said, "It's not a personal matter. A few days ago, a singer at my brother's record company violated the contract. If it's not dealt with, it will have a huge impact on the company's management."

Zhang Chumin immediately understood that he was referring to Zhou Zixuan. Pretending not to know, he asked, "Do you need to ask me about this?"

Dongfang Zhaohui smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang's time is so precious, how could we dare to bother you with such a small matter?" "When you came to our house for the last gathering, I noticed you seemed quite familiar with Zhou Zixuan. If you and she are friends, we would certainly let it go for your sake."

Zhang Chumin pretended to suddenly understand and said, "Oh, you mean Miss Zhou? I met Miss Zhou for the first time when I visited your residence last time."

Dongfang Zhaohui asked happily, "Then what is your relationship with her?" Zhang Chumin thought to himself, "She's my boss's wife, but I can't tell you for now," and smiled, "Miss Zhou's singing is so beautiful and melodious, I dare not presume to be worthy of her."

Dongfang Zhaohui said reassuredly, "Then I will handle it according to company regulations."

Zhang Chumin smiled and said, "You don't need to ask me about management matters; you can decide for yourselves at the meeting later."

Dongfang Zhaohui nodded hurriedly and asked his younger brother, Dongfang Zhaoyang, to distribute the prepared materials about Zhou Zixuan and the handling plan to everyone. Normally, an artist's matter wouldn't need to be discussed at this board meeting, but Zhou Zixuan was a top-tier artist, arguably the company's number one female artist. Banning her would cause significant losses to the company, so the Dongfang brothers dared not handle it directly.

As expected, many shareholders objected after reviewing the materials. Although the materials demanded 100 million RMB in compensation, even if the company received this amount, it wouldn't suffer any significant loss; the company's profit from Zhou Zixuan would be limited to that. However, demanding compensation and actually receiving it are not the same thing. The demanded amount was unreasonable and impossible to obtain. Moreover, Zhou Zixuan's actions weren't particularly egregious, and litigation would consume the company's financial and human resources. They suggested resolving the matter privately, prioritizing education.

The Dongfang brothers, of course, insisted on handling the matter, arguing that neglecting it would affect the company's management of other artists. In reality, many shareholders knew that the Dongfang brothers were settling a personal score, but out of respect for their father, Dongfang Qian, they remained silent.

Seeing that Old Liu, who had been closest to his father, remained silent—and that this man, a company veteran, sometimes carried more weight than he did—Dongfang Zhaohui wanted him to say a few words on his behalf, so he asked, "Old Liu, why don't you share your opinion?"

Old Liu smiled and said, "I'm no longer qualified to offer my opinion. I'm here today to say goodbye. I've already sold my shares to the Long family."

The two men beside Old Liu also smiled and said, "Our purpose today is the same as Old Liu's—to say goodbye to everyone."

Dongfang Zhaohui asked, "You've all sold your shares?"

Old Liu, representing the two men, said, "We've all sold our shares to the Long family. We're old bones and don't want to run around anymore. I believe that selling the shares to the Long family will only benefit all the shareholders, so I didn't inform you beforehand; it was my own decision."

Everyone readily agreed, saying it was great. Although the Long family had previously held shares in East China Media, they had never interfered. Now, they had acquired the shares of these three individuals, bringing their total to over 51%, effectively giving them control. This indicated that the Long family had developed an interest in East China Media or the media industry in general. This was fantastic news for them. They had always been just shareholders, and it didn't matter who was in charge. Now, with the Long family as a powerful backer, they couldn't have asked for anything better.

Zhang Chumin also spoke up, standing up and saying, "The reason I've gathered everyone for this extraordinary shareholders' meeting today is to announce this: the Long family now holds a 51% controlling stake in East China Media Group. Therefore, the Long family will send a dedicated team to take over East China Media Group. We hope to have a pleasant cooperation with everyone in the future."

Everyone applauded and cheered loudly, except for the Dongfang brothers. They didn't care whether the Dongfang brothers could handle it or not; frankly, they were already dissatisfied with the work Dongfang Zhaohui had done over the past two years.

Dongfang Zhaohui could only applaud along, saying against his will, "It's a great thing that Mr. Zhang is personally managing East China. I'm finally relieved of this heavy responsibility."

Zhang Chumin shook his head and said, "It's not me who's coming to East China. As for who it is, you'll all see soon enough."

Dongfang Zhaohui then realized that Zhang Chumin wasn't sitting in the chairman's seat because the person coming later was the main character of the day, and the chairman's seat was given to him. Xiao Zhennan was also here for this reason. Obviously, the Long family arranged for him to hold an important position, perhaps to replace him as president.

Chapter 54 East China Change of Chairman

The door to the conference room opened, and Zhou Zixuan appeared at the door with a smile, followed by his two bodyguards, Second Sister and Ninth Sister. The secretary standing guard at the door panicked and said uneasily to Dongfang Zhaohui, "I'm so sorry, I couldn't stop her. They forced their way in."

Dongfang Zhaohui was already in a bad mood, and said to Zhou Zixuan with a stern face, "What are you doing here? This is a shareholders' meeting. Is this a place where you can just barge in?"

Dongfang Chaoyang, the CEO of Zhou Zixuan's company, also stood up and shouted, "Get out! We were just discussing your violation of company rules. Everyone saw it, right? This person is completely disregarding company rules. She even dares to barge into the company's senior management meeting place. We can't let this go unpunished."

Zhou Zixuan walked in with a smile and said, "Since you're going to deal with me, I'd like to hear it."

At this moment, the secretary at the door had already called the company security. Four or five security guards rushed in to try to pull Zhou Zixuan away, but with Ermei and Jiumei by her side, how could they get close to Zhou Zixuan? They were subdued in a few moves, unable to move, and pushed against the wall.

The shareholders present were all very surprised. They didn't expect Zhou Zixuan to be so bold as to barge in when the company was about to deal with her. The two bodyguards behind her also surprised them; bodyguards with such skills weren't easy to find, especially two women.

Dongfang Zhaohui couldn't contain himself any longer and was about to call security again, but what he saw stunned him. Not only him, but everyone in the hall was speechless with disbelief. Zhang Chumin personally stood up and pulled out the chairman's chair, and Zhou Zixuan walked to the chairman's seat and sat down.

Standing beside Zhou Zixuan, Zhang Chumin announced loudly, "I think Brother Dongfang has misunderstood. Miss Zhou is here to attend this meeting. Now, on behalf of the Long family, I announce that Miss Zhou Zixuan has accepted the Long family's entrustment and will act as the full agent for the Long family's 51% stake in Huadong Media. Miss Zhou Zixuan was originally an employee of one of our Huadong Media's subsidiaries, so I don't think I need to introduce her, right?"

Amid everyone's surprised expressions, Zhou Zixuan stood up, nodded to everyone, and said, "I hope that all of you seniors will support and help me. I will do my best to repay everyone with the company's performance."

As everyone gradually recovered from their surprise, the shareholders who had initially opposed the handling of Zhou Zixuan's case applauded first, thinking that it was fortunate that they had argued their case and had not agreed to the Dong brothers' proposal, otherwise they would have offended the Long family, or even Long Hanhai himself.

Astute individuals had already discerned that the Long family had deliberately acquired a 51% controlling stake in East China Media for Zhou Zixuan, not because they valued her management abilities. If they did, any of Long's subsidiaries would be far larger than East China Media, making it unnecessary to acquire a company Long had previously neglected for management. As for the underlying relationship, they dared not speculate.

Then, Zhang Chumin announced that he would serve as Zhou Zixuan's assistant, participating in the management of East China Media. This further solidified everyone's earlier suspicions, eliciting prolonged applause and cheers. This effectively demonstrated Zhou Zixuan's status within the Long family. Zhang Chumin also held a significant position at Long's headquarters, overseeing several massive subsidiaries far exceeding those of East China Media. Previously, he had managed East China Media, rarely even bothering with it. Now, he was assisting Zhou Zixuan in managing the company, highlighting the close relationship between her and the Long family.

The Dongfang brothers were already pale and sweating profusely, unsure whether from fear or anger, but they could only clap along with everyone else. Dongfang Zhaohui thought to himself that his days at Huadong Media were over. He wanted to apologize, but the situation was too ironic. Just moments ago, he had publicly demanded a serious punishment for Zhou Zixuan. He had been incredibly foolish. At the last gathering at home, Zhang Chumin's attitude towards Zhou Zixuan should have been enough to tell, but he had assumed Zhang Chumin simply liked Zhou Zixuan's songs. Recalling how Zhang Chumin had pretended not to know Zhou Zixuan when he asked him about her relationship with Zhang Chumin, a surge of resentment rose within him.

Seeing Dongfang Zhaohui's expression, Zhang Chumin guessed his thoughts and stepped forward, saying softly, "Brother Dongfang just asked if Miss Zhou and I were friends. I didn't lie to you. Miss Zhou is currently my superior. How could I dare to call myself Miss Zhou's friend? It seems I just told you I wouldn't dare to presume upon her, right? You can't blame me."

Dongfang Zhaohui, seeing Zhang Chumin's seemingly innocent smile, almost choked, quickly saying, "No, no, how could I blame you? I didn't understand. If I knew Miss Zhou's identity, I wouldn't dare bring this up. I hope Mr. Zhang can put in a good word for me and ask Chairman Zhou not to take offense. I'm doing this for the company."

Zhang Chumin didn't know what Zhou Zixuan was thinking. Thinking about it, but not daring to guarantee anything, he was about to find an excuse to decline when Zhou Zixuan smiled and said, "Mr. Dongfang, I won't blame you. I know you're doing this for the company's sake. As for the losses I caused, I will give everyone an explanation."

Zhou Zixuan had actually changed her mind and didn't want to pursue the Dongfang brothers too much. The Dongfang brothers hadn't actually carried out any revenge against Zhou Zixuan, and she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Liu Xiaohai's grandparents because of this. Of course, she couldn't continue to rely on the Dongfang brothers. Putting aside their abilities, their character was extremely bad, especially Dongfang Chaoyang, who had ruined countless innocent girls with dreams of becoming stars by abusing his power.

Dongfang Chaohui hurriedly said, "Not at all, not at all. There's no need to explain anything. The Long Group values Chairman Zhou so much, how could it cause losses to the company? Chaoyang must have made a mistake. I'll have him give you a deep apology."

He couldn't care less about anything else now; he had to sell out Dongfang Chaoyang first.

Zhou Zixuan ignored him and addressed all the shareholders, saying, "As you all know, I used to be an artist at the group's record company, and my contract hadn't expired. But now that I've taken over the group, for everyone's benefit, I naturally don't have time to perform anymore, causing considerable losses to the company. I will provide reasonable compensation to the company according to the contract, and I hope to gain everyone's understanding."

The shareholders hurriedly shook their heads, saying that no compensation was needed, and that Zhou Zixuan was only thinking of the company, so how could she be made to pay compensation?

Zhou Zixuan stood up and said, "I am very grateful for everyone's tolerance, but I am not only thinking of the seniors present, but also of the interests of thousands of small shareholders. Since there is a contract, it must be followed according to the contract. We cannot blur the lines between public and private matters, as this also relates to the company's image. I hope everyone supports my decision."

Upon hearing Zhou Zixuan's words, the shareholders quickly expressed their agreement, praising her selflessness and expressing great optimism about the company's future. Some, seeing how ruthless Zhou Zixuan was even to themselves, were secretly alarmed and decided to immediately clean up their past misdeeds and make amends to avoid being implicated by her initial actions.

Zhang Chumin was also surprised by Zhou Zixuan's actions and was very impressed, feeling relieved.

At the meeting, Zhang Chumin announced some personnel changes: Xiao Zhennan would assume the position of group president; Dongfang Zhaohui would temporarily serve as Xiao Zhennan's assistant until the handover was complete; Wang Meiqin would become Zhou Zixuan's secretary, and he himself would become Zhou Zixuan's special assistant; other senior management personnel would remain unchanged for the time being.

The Dongfang brothers knew their glory days were over, and Dongfang Zhaohui, too ashamed to ask Zhou Zixuan for any further positions, secretly decided to resign after the handover and become shareholders, waiting for company dividends. Dongfang Chaoyang also wanted to resign, but he wasn't exactly clean, and there were many loopholes in his record company that needed to be fixed quickly. Although Zhou Zixuan said she wouldn't pursue the matter between the two of them, she was referring to personal matters. If she found out he had embezzled company property or used his position for personal gain, she certainly wouldn't let him off easily, as evidenced by how she handled her own affairs.

Next, the new president, Xiao Zhennan, gave a speech, mainly explaining his future work to the shareholders and making some promises regarding everyone's interests and the company's development. Zhou Zixuan didn't quite understand it yet, so she ignored it and secretly observed the expressions on the Dongfang brothers' faces.

************************************************** After lunch, Liang Jiali hurriedly drove away in Zhou Zixuan's car, and Zhang Xin also returned to the TV station.

Liu Xiaohai hadn't been back to school for several days and was thinking about his three brothers and Sun Meng, so he set off for school after lunch. However, he wasn't going back alone; the Dai sisters, Jingjing and Shasha, insisted on going with him, no matter how much she tried to persuade them. They had already fallen deeply in love with Liu Xiaohai, who had saved them. Seeing him leave to return to school, they were naturally anxious, not knowing when they would see him again. After all, they were only temporarily staying at Zhou Zixuan's villa, and they didn't know how long Zhou Zixuan would allow them to stay.

Liang Jiali's boldness greatly inspired the Dai sisters, Jingjing and Shasha. They had met Liu Xiaohai around the same time as Liang Jiali, and Liang Jiali had developed a very intimate relationship with him in just one day—how could they not envy her? So they decided to follow Liang Jiali's example and take the initiative to pursue Liu Xiaohai.

Liu Xiaohai originally didn't want to take them to school; there was nowhere to stay there, and he didn't know what Sun Meng would think. But the Dai sisters weren't about to let him off the hook. They had also discovered that Liu Xiaohai was even more shy and naive than they were, and they needed to be forceful with him. So they threatened that if they didn't take them, he wouldn't be allowed to return to school.

Left with no other choice, Liu Xiaohai had to agree. The Dai sisters excitedly shouted and ran to either side of Liu Xiaohai, wrapping their arms around his hands, clearly not giving him a chance to back out. They even gave him two sweet kisses, one on each side, instantly turning all three of their faces bright red. Although they had decided to boldly and actively pursue Liu Xiaohai, they were still young girls after all. Their first kisses on the cheeks of the boy they liked made them blush even more intensely than Liu Xiaohai's.

Looking at the two almost identical, charming faces, Liu Xiaohai was also greatly moved. For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, forgetting everything else, only their increasingly heavy and rapid breathing could be heard. However, Liu Xiaohai was no longer the little boy he once was. After being exposed to three stunning beauties, his self-control had improved. Knowing that continuing to look at each other like this would inevitably lead to "incidents," he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."

Dai Jingjing and Dai Shasha suddenly snapped out of their daze, whispering "okay," but a hint of disappointment flashed in their eyes. They each took Liu Xiaohai's hand and walked out of the villa.

Chapter 55 Bringing Beauties Back to School

Liu Xiaohai and the Dai sisters, Jingjing and Shasha, took a taxi to school. Although Liu Xiaohai had learned to drive, he hadn't gotten his license yet. Liu Xuemei didn't want him to drive himself, fearing it was unsafe. Besides, he didn't have a car to drive. Zhou Zixuan had two cars; one was given to Sun Meng, and after getting the top-of-the-line Hongqi, the other was taken by Liang Jiali.

The Dai sisters held Liu Xiaohai's hands tightly the whole way. Each stood on one side, one hand interlacing with Liu Xiaohai's fingers, the other gripping his arm—it looked like they were escorting prisoners. If it weren't for the deep affection and admiration the sisters showed for Liu Xiaohai, people would have thought they had just caught a thief and were about to take him to the police station.

Liu Xiaohai's two fights in the Fujin Garden, his amazing performance at the party, and the fact that the school beauty Sun Meng was pursuing him were all major news stories rarely seen at Fujin University in recent years, making him a celebrity. Almost everyone knew him, so seeing him return to school with two stunningly beautiful girls was a huge surprise, sparking much discussion. Liu Xiaohai and Sun Meng's relationship was already common knowledge across the university, so seeing him bring other girls back was naturally strange. The way the two beauties clung to him clearly indicated they were deeply in love with him, leading to speculation that Liu Xiaohai had broken up with Sun Meng.

The boys were incredibly envious of Liu Xiaohai's good fortune with women. Not only was the school beauty pursuing him, but the Dai sisters beside him were also incredibly beautiful, with figures and looks comparable to Sun Meng, and they even looked exactly alike—clearly twins, a truly adorable pair. They drooled, complaining that fate was unfair.

Fortunately, it was still class time, and there weren't many students outside. Liu Xiaohai hurriedly led the two sisters back to his dormitory, almost with his head down. Rushing into the dorm, I was startled by how lively it was. Not only were my three brothers there, but Liu Shida and Ji Jie were also there, playing cards with great enthusiasm. A pretty girl was leaning against Liu Shida; she seemed to be his girlfriend. However, he had mentioned changing girlfriends frequently, so I wondered how long this girl would stay by his side.

Everyone was also surprised to see Liu Xiaohai suddenly return with two extremely beautiful and lovely girls. They weren't surprised that Liu Xiaohai was back at school, but rather that these two girls were not only just as beautiful as Sun Meng, but also identical twin sisters. They couldn't understand how he had found them, and judging from their expressions and how tightly they clung to Liu Xiaohai, their relationship might already be more than just ordinary.

Ji Jie wasn't surprised; it was easy for her to find out Liu Xiaohai's whereabouts. She smiled and said, "I thought you were having too much fun in your honeymoon and didn't want to come back."

Liu Xiaohai blushed and said, "You...you're all here? Didn't you go to class?"

Ji Jie scolded, "Then why aren't you in class? You're allowed to have your fun outside, but we can't even play cards? Do you think we're in the way?"

Liu Xiaohai hurriedly said, "No, no," and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside. He sat down on his bed. The Dai sisters still clung to him, sitting on either side of him, imitating the girl who leaned on Liu Shida, leaning against Liu Xiaohai.

Lin Hongwei couldn't take this anymore and almost cried, "Brother Liu! Master Liu! I beg you, please don't always bring back such stunning beauties to provoke me, okay? You even brought a pair this time! Are you trying to drive me crazy?" The Dai sisters were overjoyed to hear Lin Hongwei call them stunning beauties in front of Liu Xiaohai and gave him a smile. Lin Hongwei's heart sank. He quickly covered his nose with his hand, leaned back on the bed, and took deep breaths to avoid another nosebleed in front of everyone.

Liu Shida looked at the girl beside him, then at the two sisters next to Liu Xiaohai, and sighed inwardly, realizing there was no comparison. He had been a little resentful about Sun Meng's situation, thinking that Liu Xiaohai was just lucky because he played the piano well. Now, of course, he had nothing to say but admiration and envy. They didn't know about Zhou Zixuan, Liang Jiali, and Zhang Xin's situation; otherwise, they would have fainted. Zhou Zixuan, of course, was a superstar of diva caliber, the dream girl of countless people. Liang Jiali was an idol-type beautiful singer and actress with a huge influence among teenagers. Zhang Xin was a famous beautiful host in Shanghai. If it were revealed that these three were all in love with the same man, it would definitely be the most sensational gossip news of the year. Of course, if everyone knew that the man was Long Xiaohai, it wouldn't be surprising.

Liu Xiaohai suddenly heard familiar footsteps approaching. Although he was somewhat prepared, he still tensed up. Sure enough, Sun Meng walked in and sat down on the bed opposite Liu Xiaohai without saying a word. She had probably heard that Liu Xiaohai had brought two beautiful girls back to school and had come to confront him.

Now, those who had previously envied Liu Xiaohai began to feel sorry for him, thinking that he was in trouble and wondering how he would handle it. Although the Dai sisters had heard Zhou Zixuan mention that Liu Xiaohai had a girlfriend, they had never seen her and did not know that the person opposite them was Sun Meng. They remained close to Liu Xiaohai.

Ji Jie stood up and said, "Go to class, this card game is boring."

As she spoke, she winked at Lin Hongwei and the others.

Liu Shida and the others quickly threw down their cards, saying "It really is boring," and hurriedly left. Lin Hongwei was still considering whether to stay and help when Ji Jie pulled him up and kicked him out.

Seeing everyone leave, Liu Xiaohai blushed and asked, "Sister Sun, don't you have class today?"

Sun Meng snorted, "Don't you want me to come see you?"

Liu Xiaohai quickly replied, "No, of course not."

Although the Dai sisters were also quite naive, they immediately realized that the beautiful woman opposite them was the girl Zhou Zixuan had mentioned, Liu Xiaohai's girlfriend at school. They were so frightened that they quickly let go of Liu Xiaohai's arm, blushing and lowering their heads.

Seeing their reaction, Sun Meng felt much better, as they were finally being respected. She said to Liu Xiaohai, "You can go out too."

Liu Xiaohai asked in surprise, "Me?"

Sun Meng scolded, "Nonsense, I need to talk to these two sisters."

Liu Xiaohai asked somewhat worriedly, "What are you going to talk about?"

Seeing Liu Xiaohai's silly look, Sun Meng chuckled and said, "You seem quite worried about your two little beauties. Don't worry, I won't bully them. You wait for us downstairs."

With that, she pushed Liu Xiaohai out and closed the door.

Liu Xiaohai was still worried, but knowing Sun Meng's personality, he knew they wouldn't really fight. He went downstairs to the apartment building and saw Ji Jie and Lin Hongwei there. He went over and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to class?"

Ji Jie laughed, "Why do you believe everything people say? Don't you even know what time it is? The last class is almost over, why go to class?"

Lin Hongwei stepped forward, acting very loyal, and said, "How could we abandon you? We were planning to come and rescue you if we heard you screaming for help. By the way, how did you get down here? You seem perfectly fine. Did you suffer any internal injuries?" He was

about to come up and check on him.

Liu Xiaohai was in no mood for arguing and dodged him, saying, "Sun Meng kicked me out, saying she wanted to chat with them."

Liu Shida, who had some experience in this area and often had girls vying for his attention, analyzed from the side, "They're definitely negotiating, deciding who Liu Xiaohai will belong to in the future."

Lin Hongwei sighed, "Having many women is a hassle," but his tone was full of envy.

Chapter 56 Back to the Villa

Liu Xiaohai and the others waited downstairs at the apartment building for about half an hour. To their surprise, the Dai sisters, Jingjing and Shasha, walked out of the student apartment, each supporting Sun Meng's arm. The three were unusually affectionate. The Dai sisters even looked joyful and excited.

Lin Hongwei rubbed his eyes and said to Liu Shida, "Is this a hallucination...?"

Liu Shida was also rubbing his eyes and said, "I was just about to ask you that."

Lin Hongwei slapped his forehead, as if he had figured it out, and said, "I understand. These sisters must have fallen for Sun Meng instead of Xiaohai. Look how affectionate they are."

Ji Jie scolded, "You're such an idiot."

Lin Hongwei was unconvinced and wanted to retort, but seeing Gao Han, Liu Shida, and the others looking at him with disdain, clearly thinking he was an idiot, he had to swallow his words.

However, they also found it unbelievable. Even if Sun Meng and the sisters had negotiated and agreed on who Liu Xiaohai would belong to, they shouldn't be so happy, right? Someone has to be heartbroken, right?

Liu Xiaohai felt relieved, knowing that Sun Meng had definitely accepted the twins, just like she had accepted Zhou Zixuan before. He was also very happy; the twins were so adorable, how could he not love them? He felt infinitely grateful to Sun Meng. He believed that if Sun Meng hadn't allowed him to have other women, he would have done the same, and perhaps Zhou Zixuan wouldn't be in his current relationship with him. Of course, Sun Meng's selfless love for him also made Liu Xiaohai feel a little guilty and ashamed towards her.

Sun Meng and the Dai sisters walked up to the stunned crowd, hugging and embracing, and asked with a smile, "Weren't you supposed to be in class? What are you all doing here?"

Ji Jie laughed, "We thought it was getting late, almost time for class to end, so we didn't go."

Sun Meng knew they had deliberately avoided her earlier, and laughed, "Come on, you just wanted to wait here and see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"

Lin Hongwei was most curious about the reason and asked, "Sister Sun, why are you walking down so affectionately..."

Sun Meng laughed and asked, "Then how are we supposed to get down? Do you want to see us fight our way down?"

Lin Hongwei said awkwardly, "How could I? I know Sister Sun is incredibly capable, there's nothing she can't handle. You easily dealt with those two little rivals. What method did you use to stop them from stealing your boyfriend? Tell me so I can learn something."

Sun Meng laughed, "You misunderstood, I agreed to be Xiao Hai's girlfriend with both of them."

Lin Hongwei exclaimed in surprise, "You... you just gave your boyfriend away like that?"

The others were also surprised to hear Sun Meng say this, wondering why she would do this without showing any sadness.

Sun Meng shook her head and said, "Who said I gave my boyfriend to them?"

Lin Hongwei was already confused and asked, "Then..."

Dai Shasha, standing next to Sun Meng, said, "Let's all be his girlfriends."

"Ah!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Lin Hongwei asked somewhat incredulously, "The three of you are all Xiao Hai's girlfriends?"

Dai Jingjing, standing on the other side, said, "What's so strange about that? It's not just the three of us anymore."

"Ah!"

Everyone exclaimed again, giving Liu Xiaohai, who looked embarrassed, strange looks.

Sun Meng knew that this matter couldn't be explained, so it was better to leave as soon as possible. She said to the Dai sisters beside her, "Go and bring your boyfriends over, let's go home."

The Dai sisters happily agreed and ran over to pull Liu Xiaohai to Sun Meng's side. This time, they didn't hold Liu Xiaohai on either side, but gave Sun Meng the other side of Liu Xiaohai.

Sun Meng took Liu Xiaohai's other arm and asked, "Are you satisfied now? Let's go."

Liu Xiaohai blushed and didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say; saying he was satisfied or dissatisfied wouldn't be appropriate.

Liu Shida watched their retreating figures, swallowed hard, and said, "Damn... such a thing actually happens... Even the legendary Young Master Long isn't as attractive to girls as Liu Xiaohai..."

According to some bored people's surveys, the Young Master Long is the most popular man among women in the world. Although no one has ever seen him, at least hundreds of millions of women consider him their dream lover.

Lin Hongwei, standing beside him, agreed, "What's so special about that Young Master Long? He's just rich, that's all. Besides being born into a wealthy family, how can he compare to our Liu Xiaohai?"

Taking the opportunity, Liu Shida lectured the girl beside him, "See? That's a good girl. She's much prettier than you and so sensible. Learn from her. If you keep getting jealous, I'll dump you right now."

Liu Xiaohai heard Lin Hongwei's words and felt a pang of sadness, letting out a soft sigh.

Sun Meng, who was next to him, immediately sensed this and whispered in Liu Xiaohai's ear, "Don't listen to his nonsense. We don't like you because of that."

Liu Xiaohai nodded. He believed that the girls who liked him didn't know his true identity when they fell for him, like the Dai sisters, who still didn't know. But that wasn't what he was thinking about. He came to school to experience the life of an ordinary person. He longed for that kind of life, but he hadn't truly experienced it yet.

Although few people at school knew he was Long Xiaohai, he was protected by thousands of guards who knew his identity, which was no different from being at Hanhai Villa. School life also bored him because there wasn't much to learn, and he spent his days wasting time in the library.

Was he just going to waste a few years in school and then go home to inherit his grandfather's business?

If he inherited his grandfather's business, he would never have the chance to live a normal life again. He would be like his grandfather, with everyone in the world recognizing his face, and he wouldn't have time to do anything else, just as busy as his grandfather.

Liu Xiaohai no longer wanted to study. What he really wanted was to try his luck as an ordinary person. He didn't want to build a huge career, because there was no need for that. He just wanted to see if he could stand on his own two feet in society and support himself.

Time was running out. He heard from Zhang Chumin that his grandfather wanted him to leave school as soon as possible to familiarize himself with the company's business so he could take over his position. It seemed he should ask his grandfather one more time. His grandfather knew he had special abilities and wouldn't be in any danger even without protection, so maybe he would agree to let him try his luck in the world on his own, even if it was just for a year or even half a year.

Liu Xiaohai and his three companions arrived at Sun Meng's building but didn't go up. Instead, they got into the car Zhou Zixuan had given Sun Meng and went to Zhou Zixuan's villa. Sun Meng's house only has two rooms, and her cousin lives there too, so it can't accommodate all four of them unless they squeeze into one bed, which Sun Meng can't manage.

Sun Meng doesn't usually use this car; she walks to school, which isn't far anyway. Besides, suddenly driving such an expensive sports car to school would inevitably arouse suspicion, so she only uses it when she needs to go to Zhou Zixuan's place. Liu Xiaohai never imagined that he would just take a quick trip to the school today and return to the villa without doing anything else.

When they arrived at the villa, the Hongqi car was already parked at the door. Zhou Zixuan had arrived home earlier than them. Seeing the four of them return together, she smiled and said to Sun Meng, "It's good that you brought these three little ones back. I thought I was going to be alone all day. Shall we go out for dinner or eat at home?"

Sun Meng didn't want to go out again and said, "Let's eat at home. I'll cook."

The Dai sisters quickly said, "Sister Sun, you rest. We'll cook."

Sun Meng looked at the two adorable little girls and asked in surprise, "You can cook?"

Watching the Dai sisters run into the kitchen, Zhou Zixuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, they can cook. Xiao Hai has already eaten, right, Xiao Hai? Wasn't it delicious? It was made with love." "Food."

Liu Xiaohai said, blushing, "It's...not bad."

Sun Meng pinched Liu Xiaohai with a resentful look and asked, "Is it better than what I make?" Liu Xiaohai

quickly replied, "No, it's all delicious...equally delicious."

Zhou Zixuan felt a little guilty towards Sun Meng, now that Liu Xiaohai had four more women around him. Seeing Sun Meng's expression, he wanted them to have some time alone, so he pushed them to the stairs and said, "Go upstairs and rest for a while. It's still early for dinner. I have some documents to read, so I won't keep you company."

Sun Meng knew what Zhou Zixuan meant. She hadn't been with Liu Xiaohai for several days and missed him. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still pulled Liu Xiaohai, who was even more embarrassed than her, upstairs and into the bedroom.

Once inside, Sun Meng closed the door, her face flushed as she looked at Liu Xiaohai, her eyes seemingly about to overflow with tears. Liu Xiaohai knew exactly what Sun Meng wanted: his love. He wanted it too, because she was his first girlfriend, the one who made him a man. For both men and women, the first time is always the most unforgettable, making Sun Meng the most attractive to Liu Xiaohai.

Of all the women he'd been with, Sun Meng was the only one who made him feel guilty. He wanted to make it up to her. He reached out and picked her up, carried her to the bed, and laid her flat.

Sun Meng was already aroused. As Liu Xiaohai bent down to put her on the bed, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. They instantly became entangled, frantically caressing, kneading, and sucking at each other. Liu Xiaohai was no longer passive; he expressed his love for Sun Meng in the most proactive way. Sun Meng's clothes were gradually removed under his hands as he kissed her entire body, including her most private parts.

"Oh… be gentle, Xiaohai…"

Sun Meng was frightened because Liu Xiaohai was gently biting her vaginal walls with his teeth. The sensation was stimulating, but it also made her heart race.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Sun Meng enjoyed Liu Xiaohai's services, her heart filled with ecstasy. For the first time, amidst Liu Xiaohai's indiscriminate licking and kissing, she felt important to him, that he would do anything for her. Each time Liu Xiaohai licked her private parts, her whole body trembled, filled with a strong sense of accomplishment, moving her to tears of joy. She wanted to repay him in the same way, so she frantically tore off Liu Xiaohai's clothes, straddled him, and lowered her head to take his already erect penis into her mouth. Without any guidance, they naturally adopted the classic 69 position.

His enormous penis filled Sun Meng's small mouth, but she didn't back down at all. With a sudden, forceful thrust, she swallowed deeply, only to cough violently a few seconds later.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Xiaohai withdrew his lips from licking Sun Meng's vulva and said loudly, "Sister Meng, isn't it very uncomfortable?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm not used to it. I've only ever tasted your penis. Do you think my mouth is a public bus?"

Sun Meng said coquettishly, lowering her head and continuing to suck, while using her tongue to sweep across the meatus of Liu Xiaohai's glans.

However, they couldn't bear such a stimulating way of making love. After a few moments, Sun Meng screamed and couldn't help but turn around, combining with Liu Xiaohai in the proper way, lowering her head to kiss Liu Xiaohai's face, which was covered with her bodily fluids. Only in this way could they find the feeling of truly possessing each other.

“Mmm… thrust… fuck me harder, sister… you philandering bastard, you must fuck other women harder than this…”

“Sister Meng, you are my first woman, I swear, I treat all women equally.”

“Is their hole tighter, or mine… oh… deeper… mmm…”

At this moment, Liu Xiaohai had no time to answer Sun Meng’s words. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, his buttocks thrusting in and out of Sun Meng’s vagina.

The slapping sounds continued, and Sun Meng’s moans kept coming out of her nose: “Mmm… oh… oh oh… it feels so good… ah” Sun Meng swayed her snowy buttocks and arched her waist, welcoming Liu Xiaohai’s thrusts. Although it was not her first time, she did not last long. After more than ten minutes, Sun Meng’s body trembled.

"Ah... Xiaohai, speed up... um... I... I came... oh oh..."

Liu Xiaohai could no longer hold back. He straightened up, lifted Sun Meng's buttocks, and began to thrust hard. With each thrust, Sun Meng's vaginal fluid gushed out. After about fifty thrusts, Liu Xiaohai stopped and ejaculated, spraying all his love fluid into Sun Meng's vagina.

Chapter 57 Women Can Be Lonely Too

After the passion subsided, fearing the three downstairs would wait too long, the two quickly took a shower and ran downstairs. Sure enough, the food was already prepared, and Zhou Zixuan and the Dai sisters were sitting on the sofa watching TV while waiting for them.

Seeing Liu Xiaohai and Sun Meng finally come down, Zhou Zixuan cheered, "You're finally down! We were starving if you hadn't come down soon."

Sun Meng blushed and said, "You can eat first, why wait for us?"

Zhou Zixuan said, "How can I dare to eat if you don't come down? This food contains these two little ones' love for Xiaohai and their gratitude to you, but there's nothing for me."

It seemed the Dai sisters had already told Zhou Zixuan about their conversation with Sun Meng in the dormitory.

Sun Meng laughed, "If anyone should be grateful, it should be you, especially Xiao Hai. If it weren't for you, where would he get so many girlfriends?"

Zhou Zixuan stuck out her tongue, embarrassed, and said, "This... I didn't mean to. That kid is too good at seducing people. I swear I'll never take him to places with lots of girls again."

Sun Meng sighed helplessly, "I'm not blaming you. I expected this outcome."

As soon as everyone sat down in the dining room, the Dai sisters rushed to serve everyone rice. Zhou Zixuan stopped them, saying, "Don't rush to serve rice. We have nothing to do tonight anyway, so let's have some wine."

Saying that, she took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet.

No one objected. Drinking and chatting would indeed enhance the atmosphere. The Dai sisters quickly put down everyone's glasses, poured wine for everyone, and poured some for themselves as well.

Zhou Zixuan and Sun Meng had never tasted their cooking before. After a few bites, Zhou Zixuan praised, "I really didn't know you were such good cooks. It's rare to see someone your age who can cook. Where did you learn?"

Dai Jingjing replied, "Our uncle owns a restaurant. We learned from the chefs there when we helped him with the work."

Zhou Zixuan asked curiously, "You're so cute, how could your parents let you work for your uncle?"

Dai Jingjing's expression darkened as she said, "Our parents died in a car accident when we were very young. We grew up with our uncle."

Zhou Zixuan, Sun Meng, and Liu Xiaohai were surprised to learn that these seemingly adorable and delicate twin sisters were practically orphans. Although their uncle cared for them, if he had been kind to them, he wouldn't have let the two young sisters work in a restaurant. They should still be in school at their age.

Zhou Zixuan asked, "Do you still want to sing?" The Dai sisters shook their heads simultaneously, "No, that boss is so mean..." They didn't know that Zhou Zixuan was already the boss of Huadong Media. Zhou Zixuan smiled and said that he had taken over Huadong Media Group, and that they didn't need to study anymore. Dai Jingjing said, "We stopped going to school after junior high. Our aunt said the shop needed help, so we went to help out. We never thought about singing. Once, we were singing for fun at our uncle's restaurant, and Aunt Zhang happened to be eating there. She said we could be singers, and we wanted to earn money to support ourselves and continue our studies, so we came to Shanghai with her."

The Aunt Zhang she mentioned was the talent scout from the record company who discovered them, and Zhou Zixuan knew her too.

Zhou Zixuan asked, "Do you still want to sing?"

The Dai sisters shook their heads at the same time, "No, we're not singing anymore. That boss is so mean..."

They didn't know that Zhou Zixuan was already the boss of Huadong Media.

Zhou Zixuan smiled and said that he had taken over Huadong Media Group, and that they didn't need to worry anymore, and no one would dare to bully them anymore.

The Dai sisters were initially overjoyed, but after some thought, they decided to quit singing. They didn't explain why, but judging from the way they looked at Liu Xiaohai when they made their decision, they clearly wanted to stay by his side and didn't want to perform everywhere. However, they also didn't want to stay home all the time and wanted Zhou Zixuan to find them something to do, saying they were willing to do anything.

Zhou Zixuan, of course, wouldn't force them. He thought that Long Hanhai and Liu Xuemei might not necessarily like the Long family members performing everywhere. As for work, it wouldn't be difficult to arrange, but he wondered what Liu Xiaohai was thinking, glancing at him.

Liu Xiaohai had an idea. These sisters were about his age, lively and adorable, and could sing and dance; his grandmother would definitely like them. Why not let them live at Hanhai Villa to keep his grandmother company, and they could also study there? He shared this idea, and also took Zhou Zixuan and Sun Meng home to see his grandparents.

Zhou Zixuan had spoken with Long Hanhai and Liu Xuemei once and learned that the two elders longed for them to return to the mountain resort to visit them. However, Sun Meng was still studying, and Zhou Zixuan had just taken over the East China Media Group, so she didn't have much time to spend at the resort. Having these two lively and lovely sisters with the elders would be ideal, so she immediately agreed. Sun Meng, of course, also wanted to see Liu Xiaohai's grandparents, especially someone as influential as Long Hanhai—who wouldn't want to see him?

The Dai sisters didn't know who Liu Xiaohai's grandparents were, but they were overjoyed to see his relatives. Liu Xiaohai no longer hid anything and told them about his background. The two sisters were so shocked they gaped, as if in a dream. Perhaps because they were young and inexperienced, they weren't as exaggerated as Sun Meng and Zhou Zixuan had been when they first found out, but they were even more nervous and hesitant to meet the elders. Liu Xiaohai and Zhou Zixuan quickly explained how kind, approachable, and easy to get along with the two elders, which reassured them somewhat.

Although none of the five men were heavy drinkers, they unknowingly finished a bottle of red wine. None of them had large appetites, and the food was plentiful, so after drinking, they didn't want to eat anymore and sat in the living room to continue chatting.

Women often complain that their men don't keep them company when they're with them, but when another woman is around, they complain that their men are in the way and interrupt their conversation. Now, with four women present, Liu Xiaohai was about to sit on the sofa after turning on the TV when Zhou Zixuan and Sun Meng chased him upstairs, warning him not to watch TV downstairs and disturb their conversation.

Helpless, Liu Xiaohai returned to his bedroom alone. Thinking about his four girlfriends sitting downstairs while he, as their boyfriend, could only stand alone upstairs, filled him with bitterness and resentment. He could still hear the laughter of the four women downstairs, their conversation frequently mentioning his name; it seemed they were talking about him, which only fueled his itch and frustration.

However, actually sitting among four women and chatting with them would only make him suffer more. Thinking this way, he felt much better and didn't want to watch TV anymore. He took off his clothes and crawled into bed to sleep.

He didn't know how long he slept when he felt someone sitting by the bed talking. Liu Xiaohai peeked out and saw it was the Dai sisters, Jingjing and Shasha. Their faces were as red as persimmons, and they seemed to be discussing something, but their voices were very low, and it was impossible to hear what they were saying unless you listened carefully.

He heard Shasha whisper, "Sister, what should we do now..."

Dai Jingjing said, "You should get under the covers first."

Shasha hesitated for a moment and said, "What if I wake him up? Will he be angry?"

Dai Jingjing comforted her, "No, you're his girlfriend now, why would he be angry with you?"

Shasha said, "Then why don't you get under the covers first... Why do I have to go first..."

Dai Jingjing, like her sister, was hesitant to get under the covers first and explained, "I... I'm the older sister, of course I have to let you go first."

Shasha said, "I..." "I'm scared..."

Dai Jingjing comforted her, "You're already his girlfriend, of course you have to sleep with him, what's there to be afraid of?"

Dai Shasha asked, "Are we really his girlfriends?"

Dai Jingjing said, "You should be considered so, Sister Sun and Sister Zhou both agreed... Besides, it was Sister Sun who told us to sleep here tonight, what are you afraid of?"

Liu Xiaohai then realized that it was Sun Meng who had invited them. No wonder Sun Meng had pulled him into the room as soon as they returned to the villa today; she had never been in such a hurry before. It seemed she had planned to fulfill the wishes of these two sisters tonight.

Dai Shasha hesitated, "But... but he hasn't agreed yet."

Dai Jingjing said, "He already promised to take us home to see Grandma, of course he agreed."

Dai Shasha thought it made sense, but still didn't dare to just crawl into Liu Xiaohai's blanket. She said, "You're his girlfriend too, you go first..."

Dai Jingjing gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go together, okay?"

Dai Shasha immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

The two of them then lay down at the same time, each lifting a corner of the blanket and half-crawling in, looking at Liu Xiaohai nervously. After a while, seeing that Liu Xiaohai didn't react, they felt relieved and crawled into the blanket completely, reaching out to grab his hand and resting their heads on his shoulder. The twin sisters seemed to have a telepathic connection; their movements were exactly the same, without any difference in timing.

The two hot bodies pressed tightly against Liu Xiaohai, making him extremely uncomfortable, but he could only continue to pretend to be asleep. If he suddenly woke up, it would definitely be very awkward for all three of them, so he could only endure it.

The two sisters, trembling with nervousness at first, slept next to a man for the first time. Seeing that Liu Xiaohai didn't wake up, they gradually became more relaxed and bolder. One of them couldn't help but gently stroke Liu Xiaohai's body, occasionally lightly kissing his face, ears, and neck.

Under their "harassment," Liu Xiaohai also felt a surge of heat, but because he was pretending to be asleep, he couldn't move, which was incredibly uncomfortable. He'd rather actually fall asleep; how could he possibly sleep now… But he couldn't just endure it like this. He didn't know when the two sisters would fall asleep and stop "harassing" him, but even if they did, Liu Xiaohai couldn't fall asleep with two beauties pressed against him…

In his torment, Liu Xiaohai suddenly had an idea. He thought that although this method was a bit despicable, they wouldn't notice or realize that he was the one playing tricks. Almost driven mad, Liu Xiaohai gritted his teeth and secretly used his mental power to arouse the Dai sisters' desire...

Chapter 58 Sensations.

Under Liu Xiaohai's mental power, the Dai sisters immediately reacted, their bodies trembling again. Their shyness and fear of being aroused were completely swept away by their desire, and they pressed themselves even closer to Liu Xiaohai, pressing against his body as if trying to crush him between them.

They also spread Liu Xiaohai's legs apart, each grabbing one leg and rubbing it vigorously between their thighs. Liu Xiaohai couldn't resist reaching out to attack the sisters' hot, youthful bodies, but his hands were held tightly by them, unable to move. Their other hands, which had been caressing Liu Xiaohai's body through his clothes, now slipped inside his garments. When Liu Xiaohai felt Dai Jingjing and Dai Shasha's trembling hands slip inside his pants and grasp his already erect penis, he could no longer hold back and his body shuddered, letting out a soft "Mmm."

The Dai sisters were startled by Liu Xiaohai's sudden groan. Seeing that he had indeed opened his eyes and "woke up," their faces flushed crimson with shame. However, the desire aroused by Liu Xiaohai did not subside; their bodies remained pressed tightly against him, their small hands still gripping his penis tightly, not wanting to let go, and in their nervousness, they held on even tighter.

Dai Jingjing said in a trembling voice, "You...you're awake..."

Dai Shasha, on the other hand, simply closed her eyes, but her body remained pressed tightly against Liu Xiaohai, writhing.

Liu Xiaohai pretended to have just woken up and said, "Hmm..."

Dai Jingjing said, "It's...it's Sister Sun...she let...let us sleep here today, is...is that okay?"

Liu Xiaohai didn't know how to answer her, and murmured with a red face, "Oh...okay..."

His hard lower body was extremely uncomfortable because they were holding it tightly in their hands, and he couldn't help but move.

Now the two sisters also felt that their hands were still holding Liu Xiaohai's place. Just now, they were too excited by their desire and thought he was asleep and wouldn't know. Now that Liu Xiaohai was awake, and their hands were still holding his embarrassing place, they quickly let go, their faces turning even redder with embarrassment. They really wanted to find a hole to crawl into and hide. Each of them grabbed a pillow and hugged it to their chest, burying their faces in the pillows, not daring to look at Liu Xiaohai anymore. Seeing their cute appearance, Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but laugh out loud. He knew that he had to take the initiative. He reached out and hugged Dai Jingjing first, removed the pillow in between them, and lowered his head to kiss her. Dai Jingjing trembled, unable to suppress her love for Liu Xiaohai and the burning desire within her. She raised her hands and tightly embraced Liu Xiaohai's head, responding to his passionate kiss. It was

Dai Jingjing's first kiss, and she was slightly shy and awkward, but her lips gave Liu Xiaohai a unique taste.

Liu Xiaohai had been holding back for a long time, and impatiently removed the few clothes they were wearing, flipping over and pressing himself against Dai Jingjing…

To his surprise, when he entered Dai Jingjing, she screamed in pain because it was her first time, and at the same time, Dai Shasha on the other side of the bed also groaned. As Dai Jingjing writh excitedly beneath him, experiencing pleasure, Dai Shasha beside her also twisted and turned, clutching her pillow.

This excited Liu Xiaohai immensely. He sensed a spiritual connection and resonance between the two sisters. Liu Xiaohai's spiritual power could also sense others, but he didn't know how to use it, and no one could teach him. The sensations he received were very faint, such as sensing the other person's emotions like joy, anger, love, hate, excitement, or disappointment. The sisters could even sense each other's physical pleasure. This was like a reference book placed before him, allowing him to learn. So, Liu Xiaohai merged his spiritual power into the sisters' spiritual world, searching for the subtle connection between them.

"Oh... um..."

Dai Jingjing moaned, and Dai Shasha beside her moaned in unison.

To better experiment, Liu Xiaohai pressed his hands against Dai Jingjing's breasts and began to knead them, only to see Dai Shasha cover her breasts with her hands. He immediately understood; this world was truly wondrous—twin sisters could reach such a level.

Because they were about his age, Liu Xiaohai was gentler with Dai Jingjing, only inserting his penis halfway each time, not daring to go all the way in. Even this half-insertion brought Dai Jingjing unbearable pleasure.

“Ah… um… oh oh… so good… Sister Meng didn’t lie to me… Brother Hai… hurry up and insert… insert into my hole…”

Dai Jingjing moaned, shaking her head.

Liu Xiaohai couldn’t believe it. These two Dai sisters weren’t the type of girls he knew. Thinking of Zixuan and Sun Meng, he knew they must be behind this, teaching them how to make love and moan.

Seeing Dai Jingjing enjoying herself so much, Liu Xiaohai bent down and did push-ups, the most primal position, beginning his journey to conquer her.

“Oh… ah… I’m going to pee…”

Less than ten minutes later, Dai Jingjing suddenly cried out.

Finally, when Dai Jingjing reached her climax, the spiritual connection between the two sisters suddenly strengthened. Liu Xiaohai sensed that Dai Shasha had also reached her climax at the same time. The difference was that Dai Jingjing reached her climax both spiritually and physically, while Dai Shasha only experienced a spiritual climax. Liu Xiaohai’s spiritual power merged into their spiritual world, and he was simultaneously affected. He could no longer hold back, his semen flowed freely, and he reached his climax at the same time. He finally saw what he needed from the spiritual connection between the sisters.

Liu Xiaohai, still embracing the excited Dai Jingjing, closed his eyes to absorb the valuable experience he had just gained. He learned that one type of spiritual power allows one to sense changes in another's mental world, thereby perceiving physiological and mental shifts. He named this ability "thought perception." In reality, the spiritual world has no thought; it is a pure, primordial characteristic. That is to say, the spiritual world is the origin of life. All abilities and powers of humans and other life forms originate from spiritual power. Although it itself has no thought, and its existence is even imperceptible, it influences people's thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and other life characteristics.

Many people have acted unconsciously, without even knowing why they did it. Acts like selflessly saving others are often driven by impulse, done without time for thought. Similarly, many crimes, such as embezzlement, rape, and murder, are committed impulsively without consideration.

Love is similar; most love is inexplicable. You yourself may wonder why you fell in love, yet you know you can't live without them. This is a kind of spiritual attraction, which can be one-sided or mutual. Liu Xiaohai's ability to make women fall unconditionally in love stemmed from his powerful inner world and the lingering, poignant love his parents showed in a moment of crisis—a powerful draw.

While Liu Xiaohai's handsome appearance also attracted others, it only made them like him, not fall madly in love. There's a difference between liking and loving.

Now that Liu Xiaohai understands the power of thought perception, he can judge a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors from changes in certain mental characteristics. In the future, he might even be able to use his mental power to influence the other person's mental world, reaching the point of controlling their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. However, understanding alone is not enough; he needs long-term experience and accumulation of knowledge. This is because Liu Xiaohai cannot directly see what the other person is thinking or doing from their mental world. Instead, he needs to guess and judge what the other person is thinking and what they might do based on changes in their mental world. This is a language of the mind, and he needs continuous learning and accumulation to use it fluently.

Liu Xiaohai still needs to further understand this ability and needs the help of the special mental connection between the Dai sisters. But Dai Jingjing in his arms still needs rest. Her first time experiencing pleasure brought her great joy, but she also tasted the pain of losing her virginity. Liu Xiaohai entered Dai Shasha's mental world through thought perception and immediately felt a powerful desire. He opened his eyes and looked at Dai Shasha; she was indeed looking at him with longing eyes, wanting his true love.

Liu Xiaohai released Dai Jingjing and reached out to embrace Dai Shasha. Dai Shasha flinched nervously, but Liu Xiaohai sensed her desire growing even stronger. He wouldn't let her escape, pulling her into his arms and attempting to influence her mental world using his mental perception, rather than his spiritual power, to arouse her desire. He had only recently learned to use his mental perception and couldn't yet influence others, but these two sisters were different; their mental worlds were completely open to him. Liu Xiaohai had already become familiar with their mental worlds and easily achieved his goal.

Dai Shasha's desire was fully released. She wrapped her arms tightly around Liu Xiaohai's head and kissed him passionately, her movements remarkably similar to Dai Jingjing's earlier. Her body entwined around Liu Xiaohai's, twisting and rubbing against him. Liu Xiaohai's mental perception had been sensing her changes, and he knew what she wanted—what he wanted too. He immediately removed her clothes, thrust himself upon her, and channeled another wave of his mental perception into Dai Jingjing's mental world.

Like Dai Jingjing, Dai Shasha's body was equally tender, and her semi-full breasts were very comfortable to handle. Liu Xiaohai, afraid that Dai Shasha would feel pressured, directly guided his penis to her entrance and gently pushed it in.

"Ah..."

Just like Dai Jingjing, Dai Shasha also cried out in pain, transforming from a girl into a woman.

Sure enough, as he entered Dai Shasha's body, Dai Jingjing beside him also trembled, allowing him to easily find the subtle connection between them, once again experiencing this rare and precious experience, until all three reached orgasm simultaneously...

"Oh...ya...um...so comfortable...so good..."

"Me too...sister...does that penis feel good inside?"

"Um...oh...yes...yes...Brother Hai...it's full...so big...so good..."

"Um...Brother Hai...inserting into my sister, touch my little hole..."

Dai Jingjing beside him also became anxious.

Liu Xiaohai then inserted his fingers into her vagina. While penetrating Dai Shasha, he used his fingers to bring Dai Jingjing intense pleasure. Looking at the two beautiful twin sisters beneath him, Liu Xiaohai became even more frenzied.

"Ah... I'm killing my sister... Oh oh... Hmm..."

After the passion subsided, Liu Xiaohai felt that the sisters, being first-timers, had experienced considerable pain. However, he didn't use his mental energy to heal their wounds, not out of fear that they would reignite their desire. Through his mental perception, he understood that doing so would indeed affect their bodies. His mental energy only stimulated their temporary potential, making them forget their pain and fatigue, not providing true healing. This had no effect on him, but for others, it was like a stimulant, and absolutely could not be overused.

***************************************************The next day, Liu Xiaohai simply skipped school. Since there was nothing important to do there anyway, he figured he'd just kill time in the library. He took the four girls back to Hanhai Villa to visit his grandparents. His purpose wasn't just to have the Dai sisters visit their grandmother, but more importantly, to talk to his grandfather about his thoughts. He didn't want to just accept his fate and waste a few years taking over his business.

The Dai sisters had just lost their virginity, and their gait was a little distorted after waking up. Sun Meng and Zhou Zixuan, of course, didn't miss this opportunity, deliberately pointing out the change in their gait with sarcastic remarks, making them blush, but with happy expressions. Their faces radiated satisfied smiles. Having been pampered by Liu Xiaohai, they had lost some of their childishness and gained a more charming allure, appearing even more beautiful and captivating.

Just as they were about to leave, Zhang Xin arrived at the villa. She had heard about it from Zhou Zixuan, and of course, she wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by. She naturally wanted to be among the first to go home with Liu Xiaohai to see his grandparents. Everyone got into the top-of-the-line Hongqi that Long Hanhai had given Zhou Zixuan. Although there were six of them, it didn't feel crowded at all; even if a few more people were added, it still wouldn't feel cramped.

In the car, Zhang Xin noticed the radiant appearance of the Dai sisters, Dai Jingjing and Dai Shasha, seemingly aroused by love. Suspicious, she quickly asked Zhou Zixuan why. Zhou Zixuan smiled and whispered in her ear. Zhang Xin immediately panicked. She couldn't believe these two girls had gotten together with Liu Xiaohai before her, while she and Liu Xiaohai hadn't even kissed. Unwilling to accept this, she squeezed next to Liu Xiaohai, hugging him and demanding immediate gratification.

Liu Xiaohai could only kiss her on the lips. Zhang Xin wasn't about to give up; she tightly embraced his neck, her tongue swirling and sucking in his mouth until she was almost suffocating before finally letting go. If there hadn't been so many people in the car, she probably would have already consummated her relationship with Liu Xiaohai. Anyway, with the partition closed, the second and ninth sisters in the driver's seat wouldn't have felt anything coming from behind.

May 25th,
Chapter 59: Bringing Beauties Home.

Hanhai Manor had received news that Liu Xiaohai was bringing his group of women home. Liu Xuemei personally led dozens of family members and over a hundred guards to welcome them at the manor's gate. Liu Xuemei beamed as she watched the beautiful young women emerge from the car. An elderly woman of her age wouldn't care about monogamy as long as the Long family prospered. Besides, Liu Xiaohai was the only son in the Long family, and all their hopes rested on him.

Of the five beauties, only Zhou Zixuan, who had met the elders before, remained relatively calm. The other four seemed somewhat nervous. Firstly, Liu Xiaohai held a very important place in their hearts, and they naturally wanted to leave a good impression on the elders. Secondly, Liu Xuemei's status was too high; she could be considered the world's First Lady, so how could they not be nervous? But seeing Liu Xuemei's kind face and her warm hospitality, they relaxed considerably and went to her side, calling her "Grandma."

Liu Xuemei was overjoyed to be called "Grandma" so many times. She looked left and right, unsure who to answer first, but kept saying "yes." Finally, she chose the sisters Dai Jingjing and Dai Shasha, holding their little hands and inviting everyone into the villa. The sisters were so adorable, looked exactly alike, and were about the same age as Liu Xiaohai; how could the old lady not like them?

Seeing his grandmother happy, Liu Xiaohai was also very pleased and casually asked, "Isn't Grandpa home?"

Liu Xuemei replied, "Yes, he is. That old man, he said he'd come to the gate to greet everyone, but suddenly he had something to do and ran off to his study."

Liu Xiaohai wasn't surprised; his grandfather was always so busy. He chuckled, "Actually, there's no need to pick us up. They won't be guests anymore."

Liu Xuemei happily replied, "Of course they won't be guests anymore, but it's their first time here, how could I not welcome them? I'm at home every day, and there's no one to talk to. I'm getting restless. It'll be good for them to get some fresh air."

Liu Xiaohai knew his grandmother was lonely at home. His grandfather was so busy, and although there were many people in the family, they were mostly guards or servants; no one could truly keep her company. He then told her that the Dai sisters would be staying at the villa to keep his grandmother company. Liu Xuemei, who adored the sisters, praised them loudly, commending her grandson for his filial piety.

It was quite a long walk from the entrance to the main building of the villa, but everyone chose to walk. They had long been filled with curiosity and longing for this legendary Hanhai Villa, and now, being there, felt like a dream. The journey didn't disappoint them either. The facilities at Hanhai Villa and the scenery along the way amazed them. The thought that this would be their future home, and that what they were seeing now was only a small part of it, filled them with excitement. If Liu Xuemei hadn't been there to keep them from losing their composure, they would have screamed out loud.

Once inside the hall, the women obediently sat around Liu Xuemei, keeping her company. Liu Xiaohai, unable to get a word in edgewise, went to the study to find his grandfather.

Long Hanhai had just hung up the phone when he saw Liu Xiaohai come in. He laughed and said, "Why aren't you with Grandma? You've come to Grandpa's. Your grandma's been looking forward to your coming home every day."

Liu Xiaohai sat down opposite his grandfather's desk and replied with a smile, "Grandma has someone to keep her company now. She didn't even notice when I left the living room."

Long Hanhai laughed heartily, "You're really something! You've been away for a few months, haven't studied much, but have brought back a whole bunch of girlfriends." Liu Xiaohai blushed and said, "Grandpa, I was just about to tell you about this."

Long Hanhai teased, "Oh, is it because you have too many girlfriends and can't handle them all? Grandpa has no experience in this area to pass on to you. I don't even..." "Your grandma can't handle it all by herself."

Liu Xiaohai said, "No, Grandpa, I was talking about my studies. I don't want to continue studying. There's not much to learn in class."

Long Hanhai nodded and said, "I've already thought about that. I'm also planning to arrange for you to come to the company to help me. You know the Long Group is a huge operation. Just getting to know some high-level people will keep you busy for a while. It's good for you to join the company sooner rather than later."

This was not the result Liu Xiaohai wanted. He wished this day would come later. He gritted his teeth and told his grandfather about his idea of trying his luck as an ordinary person, to see if he could stand on his own two feet in society and support himself.

Long Hanhai listened carefully to his explanation, then looked at Liu Xiaohai's expectant face and suddenly smiled, "Grandpa is glad you have this idea. Actually, you and I are thinking the same thing. I've always wanted you to go out and experience things for yourself, but your grandma would never agree." Liu Xiaohai knew, of course, that his grandma would absolutely not agree, and quickly said, "That's why I'm asking Grandpa."

Long Hanhai said, "Grandpa isn't worried about you suffering; on the contrary, I hope you can endure some hardship. But regarding safety, if you don't have a bodyguard by your side, Grandpa is still a little worried." Liu Xiaohai said, "Grandpa, you know I've learned some self-defense techniques from Instructor Ouyang, and I also have some special abilities. Recently, I've learned about some of the uses of these abilities, and I believe I can handle my own safety."

Long Hanhai asked in surprise, "Oh, you mean that kind of mental power? Can that guarantee safety?"

In Long Hanhai's mind, the so-called mental power could only make Liu Xiaohai smarter and improve his physique. As for Academician Gu's statement that if Liu Xiaohai could skillfully use this ability in the future, it would be equivalent to being a superman, he didn't really believe it, thinking it was just the fantasy of those scientific fanatics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Liu Xiaohai, of course, wouldn't hide anything from his grandfather. He told him about the healing power of his mental energy and the newly comprehended power of his perception, only concealing the fact that he had discovered perception while being intimate with the Dai sisters in bed.

Long Hanhai could understand the healing power of mental energy, but he was skeptical about the power of perception, saying, "You're really going to use it for your own purposes!" Liu Xiaohai didn't dare exaggerate, saying, "I can't feel it that clearly yet, and I can't know exactly what the other person is thinking, but at least I can sense whether they are benevolent or malicious."

Although Long Hanhai still couldn't completely believe it, he knew Liu Xiaohai wouldn't lie to him, and excitedly said, "If this is true, it will be incredibly useful! Do you know how Grandpa manages such a large business? It's through his people. Capable people are everywhere, but the important thing is whether they can genuinely contribute to the company. If you can tell whether someone is loyal to the company, you can tell whether they are a good person to use. It seems Grandpa can confidently entrust the company to you; you will definitely do a better job than Grandpa." "

The most important thing on Long Hanhai's mind right now is the issue of his grandson taking over the family business, so naturally, this is the first thing that comes to mind.

Hearing his grandfather say this, Liu Xiaohai was worried that he would want to take over the business himself, so he quickly added, "This ability requires constant practice to master, so I want to try to make my own way."

Long Hanhai nodded and winked at Liu Xiaohai, saying, "It seems we'll have to keep it from your grandmother." Liu Xiaohai quickly nodded in agreement; this was the only way to deal with Liu Xuemei, and getting her to agree was impossible.

Long Hanhai stood up and smiled bitterly, "Over the years, I've never lied to your grandmother. I never thought that a record I've maintained for decades would be ruined by you."

Liu Xiaohai ran to Long Hanhai's side, took his arm, and smiled, "Grandpa is the best!"

Long Hanhai patted Liu Xiaohai's shoulder affectionately and sighed, "You've grown up, and you'll still have to rely on yourself in the future. I also hope you can become more mature, which is why I agreed to your request to practice independently. The burden on your shoulders in the future will be heavy. If anything happens to the Long family, the whole world will be affected."

Liu Xiaohai's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will do my best. "

Long Hanhai smiled with satisfaction, "Come on, take Grandpa to see your girlfriend."

Chapter 60: A Group Kiss Goodbye .

Seeing Liu Xiaohai accompany Long Hanhai into the hall, the women fell silent and all stood up. Of course, they recognized Long Hanhai; they often saw him on TV and in newspapers. Now that he was in front of them in person, they were so nervous they could hardly breathe.

Liu Xuemei noticed something was wrong, turned around, and saw Long Hanhai and Liu Xiaohai approaching. She scolded, "That old man comes out without saying hello, scaring my darlings! Everyone sit down, don't be afraid of him. I'm the boss in the family."

Long Hanhai also hurriedly said, "Sit down, everyone. We're family now, why bother with greetings?" Seeing that

Long Hanhai wasn't as imposing as they had imagined, and was rather amiable, the women relaxed a bit. However, they only dared to sit down after he did.

Long Hanhai smiled and looked at the five girls, quite satisfied. He had always been confident in his judgment of character. The later development of the Long family mainly relied on its personnel. If he had to do everything himself, even 100 Long Hanhais wouldn't be able to handle it all. From the five girls' attitude towards him and the way they looked at Liu Xiaohai, he could clearly feel their sincerity towards him, and that was enough. He said kindly, "Please continue chatting, don't be shy." "

But why were they all blushing and silent like before?

Long Hanhai couldn't think of a solution either. He'd dealt with all sorts of people in his years in the business world, but he'd never had the experience of facing so many girls at once. He knew people would be nervous meeting him for the first time; even a president of a country would be trembling with fear, afraid of offending him. But these were his grandson's girlfriends, his future granddaughters-in-law, and seeing them like this made him feel a little sorry for them.

Liu Xuemei, seeing that since Long Hanhai sat down, her future granddaughters-in-law had fallen silent, their laughter gone, even their breathing seemed lighter, glared at Long Hanhai in exasperation. She stood up and said, 'I'll arrange dinner. Xiaohai, you show them around the house. Their rooms are ready. See if they need anything else, and tell Xinlan.'"

After finishing his conversation, he and several family members went to arrange dinner.

The women were also full of curiosity about their new home and naturally wanted to see it for themselves. Led by Zhou Zixuan, the women greeted Long Hanhai with "Goodbye, Grandpa!" and then excitedly followed Liu Xiaohai to tour the palatial new house.

Long Hanhai was delighted to hear everyone call him Grandpa and repeatedly said yes. If he weren't worried about spoiling their visit to the resort, he would have loved to personally show them around.

The rooms arranged for them were all next to Liu Xiaohai's room, each over a hundred square meters in size, fully equipped and decorated in a warm and comfortable manner. They were very satisfied with each room, so there was nothing to complain about. Five rooms had been prepared, but the Dai sisters, Jingjing and Shasha, only wanted one. They had never lived separately since childhood and didn't want to live in separate rooms. Zhou Zixuan suggested that Liang Jiali live in the other room later, and Liu Xiaohai didn't force them. Actually, there were many empty rooms nearby. After assigning the rooms, he led them to their respective bedrooms.

Entering Liu Xiaohai's bedroom, the five women exclaimed in surprise, as they hadn't expected such a large bedroom—at least five times the size of their own bedrooms. This room was the master bedroom of the house, the largest and best one. Long Hanhai and Liu Xuemei themselves weren't particularly demanding in their own lives; the best was naturally reserved for their only grandson.

Looking at the room, which seemed too big even for playing basketball, Zhou Zixuan asked Liu Xiaohai if he was afraid to sleep in such a room, like being haunted. Liu Xiaohai didn't know how to answer for a moment. He had slept in this room since he was a child; he wouldn't think about such strange things. Besides, he wasn't alone in the room; several family members were always there to serve him when he slept.

Sun Meng called out from the other side, "Come and see! He even has a swimming pool in the bathroom!" Liu Xiaohai laughed, "That's a bathtub. Come on, I'll take you outside for a walk."

When their family came to call them back for dinner, they had only walked a small part of the villa, and they had only glanced at the places they passed. Even if their family hadn't come looking for them, they weren't planning to continue walking; they were already complaining of being tired and unable to walk any further.

During dinner, at Long Hanhai's urging, everyone drank some wine. Perhaps due to the alcohol, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and the women gradually became much more affectionate towards the two elders, calling them "Grandpa" and "Grandma." The two elders enjoyed their happiest meal in decades, and the Long family had never been so lively before.

After dinner, the two elders didn't disturb them and went back to their rooms to rest. Liu Xiaohai asked if they wanted to go for a walk around the resort at night, but they all shook their heads, saying they were tired and there would be plenty of opportunities to do so later, and returned to their respective rooms. Only Zhang Xin didn't go back to her room but ran into Liu Xiaohai's room. It seemed the other four were intentionally avoiding them, wanting to make way for the two of them.

As soon as Zhang Xin and Liu Xiaohai entered the room, she hugged him from behind, pressing tightly against his back. She had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and being the last among the women, she was determined not to let Liu Xiaohai off the hook today. Liu Xiaohai didn't turn around, but lifted Zhang Xin up with both hands and carried her to the large bed, his thoughts entering Zhang Xin's mental world to explore new experiences.

On this bed, even larger than the one in Zhou Zixuan's bedroom, Zhang Xin, pinned beneath Liu Xiaohai, no longer needed him to ignite her desire with his senses; she was already aroused herself. Liu Xiaohai wasn't in a hurry, relying on the sensations his senses gave him to kiss and caress Zhang Xin's body.

Zhang Xin gradually noticed this strange phenomenon; Liu Xiaohai's hands seemed to become her own. Wherever she wanted him to touch, he would touch that spot. If she wanted him to be gentle, he would never be rough; if she wanted him to be rough, he would never be polite. Everything seemed so perfect. How could she resist such teasing? She needed more real love, she wanted to possess him completely. Zhang Xin couldn't hold back any longer. Although she felt that the man should take the initiative, especially the first time, how could she be so rational now? Just as she was about to roll over and straddle Liu Xiaohai, he himself lay down on his side, smiling as he looked at her, as if waiting for her to mount him. A surge of anger welled up inside Zhang Xin, as if she were completely manipulated by him. But she truly wanted to do it, so she gritted her teeth, disregarding everything else, and climbed onto Liu Xiaohai's body. Adjusting her position, she guided him into that burning, wondrous little world. The exquisite feeling of them becoming one made them moan with pleasure. "Oh...you little devil...no wonder they all say you're amazing...such a big cock, it feels so good..."

Zhang Xin swayed her large breasts, moaning.

Her buttocks rose and fell, allowing Liu Xiaohai's cock to

slide in and out of her. Liu Xiaohai, on the other hand, was helpless. He could only blame himself for being so overpowering every time; no woman could remain submissive under him without begging for mercy.

"Mmm...oh oh...it's killing me...rub my breasts..."

Zhang Xin forgot her shame; she discovered that making love with Liu Xiaohai was such a pleasurable experience.

Liu Xiaohai grasped Zhang Xin's breasts with both hands and began to rub them back and forth, his lower body continuing to thrust upwards...

The sounds of soft, wet movements filled the air, accompanied by the constant slapping of flesh against flesh. Zhang Xin moaned incessantly as she and Liu Xiaohai changed positions repeatedly, until Zhang Xin experienced her third orgasm before finally falling asleep, satisfied.

********************************************** With Ji Jie's help and connections, Liu Xiaohai finally obtained the school's approval. He could graduate early if he completed some exams and earned enough credits. This wasn't difficult for Liu Xiaohai at all, but some school leaders found it strange that he was so eager to graduate after less than a semester. Given his grades, applying for early admission to graduate or doctoral programs wouldn't be difficult, so they tried to dissuade him.

Liu Xiaohai, however, only wanted the graduation certificate. In reality, the certificate wasn't very useful; it was just to give everyone an explanation, to prevent his friends from suspecting he had some difficulties or had suddenly dropped out. Besides, having a diploma would make finding a job easier.

However, Lin Hongwei and the others still suspected he might be facing some financial difficulties and asked if he needed help.

Liu Xiaohai was grateful and told them that he didn't want to study anymore; he wanted to earn money as soon as possible so he could pursue a master's and doctoral degree later. His three brothers didn't suspect anything further. They had indeed seen Liu Xiaohai spending all his time in the library, rarely attending classes. Graduating early was certainly desirable; they would also want to graduate and get their diplomas quickly. However, they knew they couldn't pass the exams as quickly as Liu Xiaohai, and instead began to envy him.

Liu Shida, upon hearing the news, also came to find him, offering to sponsor his postgraduate studies immediately. Liu Xiaohai, surprised by his friend's generosity, politely declined.

The exams over the past few days were no challenge for Liu Xiaohai; he easily earned enough credits to graduate. Besides, with Ji Jie's help, even if he failed miserably, he would still graduate. The principal was extremely grateful to Ji Jie for helping the school acquire the land from the Long family—a gift from the Long family worth hundreds of millions. Liu Xiaohai returned to his class to say goodbye. His classmates already knew about the incident and weren't surprised, but they were very reluctant to see him go, especially the girls. Regardless of his consent, they surrounded him, taking turns asking for hugs and kisses goodbye. Liu Xiaohai wanted to escape, but it was too late, so he had no choice but to accept this way of saying goodbye. Fortunately, they only lightly touched his cheek, not forcibly kissing him.

This made the male students extremely envious, thinking that with such a farewell, even being expelled from school would be worth it, let alone graduating early!

The last person to come up to say goodbye was Cao Hui. However, she didn't come up for a goodbye kiss. She looked at Liu Xiaohai with a complicated expression, said "Take care, " and ran away. Her eyes seemed to hold both love and resentment. Liu Xiaohai refrained from using his mental powers to probe Cao Hui's

inner

thoughts. It wasn't that he didn't want to know, but rather that he was somewhat afraid to know her true feelings.

As Liu Xiaohai prepared to leave the school, he felt a pang of reluctance. Although he had only lived there for a few months, it was the first place he had truly experienced life, as unforgettable as a first love, especially since his first love had also happened here.

Not knowing where to go after leaving the classroom, he decided to wander around the campus a bit more. Unconsciously, he wandered into

the small garden. Remembering the two fights that had occurred there, a sweet feeling welled up inside him. He sat down on a stone bench. Just as Liu Xiaohai was reminiscing about what had happened in the garden, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and he noticed someone beside him. Looking up, he saw Hirota Junko, who had come to the library to confront him. Remembering his promise to apologize to her, which he hadn't kept, he blushed.

Sure enough, after sitting down next to Liu Xiaohai, Hirota Junko went straight to the point, asking, "Mr. Liu, have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Liu Xiaohai awkwardly replied, "No... I haven't forgotten. I've just been quite busy these past few days... so..."

Hirota Junko said, "Is that so? But I don't see Mr. Liu being busy at all. Otherwise, why would you be sitting here leisurely, lost in thought? If Mr. Liu doesn't want to keep your promise, please just say so, so I don't have to wait so long."

Liu Xiaohai had actually always remembered this matter, but he really didn't have a good impression of this family that made their fortune through the sex industry, so he had been putting it off until now. Since she had come to him, and he had indeed promised her, he had no choice but to stand up and say, "Then I'll apologize to you now... Heh... I'm sorry, Miss Hirota. I was too heavy-handed last time and broke your brother's leg. Please forgive me." He only blamed himself for being too heavy-handed and didn't think he had hit the wrong person.

Hirota Junko didn't care how Liu Xiaohai apologized; she just wanted to find a reason to approach him and then use her methods to control this seemingly innocent boy to avenge her brother. So she said, "I accept your apology, but you said it wasn't just a verbal apology."

Liu Xiaohai hadn't actually agreed on how he would apologize, but he didn't want to get entangled with her for too long. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then... then I'll treat you to dinner, okay?"

Hirota Junko nodded and said, "Okay."

Liu Xiaohai asked, "When are you free?"

Hirota Junko said, "I heard you're leaving school, so tonight is fine. Otherwise, if you run away, it'll be really hard to find you later."

Liu Xiaohai also wanted to settle things as soon as possible, so he let Hirota Junko choose a place. Hirota Junko thought for a moment and suggested a Japanese restaurant in the city center, which was actually one of her family's businesses in Shanghai. After agreeing to meet at the restaurant at 7 pm, Hirota Junko got up to say goodbye.

From the moment Hirota Junko appeared until she left, Liu Xiaohai felt uneasy, inexplicably restless. His senses seemed to be giving him some kind of hint, a feeling he rarely experienced. He felt that Hirota Junko's visit wasn't simply about getting an apology; it seemed to harbor hostility and some other ulterior motive. However, Liu Xiaohai wasn't too worried about her playing tricks. He was leaving the school anyway, and he would simply not see her again after this meal.

****************************************************** In the principal's office.

Principal Wang looked at the report the personnel department had given him for approval, feeling puzzled. Why were over 300 staff members collectively requesting to resign? He knew these people; he had personally arranged for them. The Ministry of National Defense had requested his assistance because one of the new students this semester was Chairman Ji Huasheng's granddaughter, and these personnel were there to protect her.

Principal Wang had found it strange at the time. Although he hadn't had much contact with central government leaders and didn't understand their living conditions, it was normal for leaders to arrange guards to protect their children, but a scale of 300 people seemed unimaginable to him. Fudan University is a world-renowned institution. With China's rising status, many foreign royal families and nobles have come here to study in order to learn about Chinese culture, often accompanied by bodyguards and guards—but usually only three to five people, rarely more than ten. Chairman Ji Huasheng's decision to send 300 people to protect his granddaughter is unusual, given his usual incorruptible style. However, while strange, it wasn't given much thought; it's understandable that Chinese families value their grandchildren more than foreign ones.

But the sudden resignation of these 300 people is unbelievable. Chairman Ji's granddaughter is still studying at the university; there's no indication she's transferring…

Even if they felt there were too many people, why withdraw them all at once?…

Is Chairman Ji about to step down?…

That's impossible. Chairman Ji was recently re-elected with a high number of votes and received additional important positions, arguably wielding even more power than before…

Besides, given Chairman Ji's relationship with Long Hanhai, no political faction would dare to target him. Just a few days ago, the Long family donated a piece of land worth hundreds of millions to the university for his granddaughter. Principal Wang racked his brains

but couldn't figure it out. He thought to himself, "No wonder they're central leaders; their actions seem unfathomable. It's as if these people aren't here to protect his granddaughter. " Suddenly, Principal Wang felt a cold sweat break out all over his body. He felt like he had grasped something in his mind, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. At that moment, Teacher Zhang from the General Affairs Department walked in and said, "Principal Wang, this is Liu Xiaohai's graduation certificate. Please stamp it." He placed a graduation certificate on Principal Wang's desk. Principal Wang nodded, took out his seal from the drawer, and stamped the certificate. Teacher Zhang continued, "This student is really strange. I've never seen a student like him before. He's only been at the school for a few months, barely attended any classes, yet he's already thinking about graduating. And his exam scores are all excellent, even better than those outstanding students who have studied for four years." Principal Wang sighed, "What a talent, what a pity..." If it weren't for Chairman Ji's granddaughter's request, he really wouldn't have let such a student go. He could have directly nurtured him to pursue a higher degree, perhaps even without charging tuition. Teacher Zhang said, "Yes, I don't know who taught him before. I heard from several professors who taught him that sometimes this student raises questions that even they can't answer. Apparently, these are research topics currently being studied by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. These aren't questions that can be raised just by being smart." Principal Wang was about to hand Teacher Zhang the stamped graduation certificate when he heard this, he paused, took back the certificate, looked at the three characters "Liu Xiaohai" on it, then at the 300 resignation reports on the table, and shuddered, large beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He finally understood who these Ministry of National Defense guards were protecting. Yes, it must be him… Several years ago, Principal Wang went to Beijing to attend a Ministry of Education meeting and took some time to visit Academician Wang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, his old classmate. Every time he went to Beijing, he would always catch up with him. But that time, Academician Wang wasn't home. Principal Wang casually asked Mrs. Wang where he had gone, but Mrs. Wang hesitated and wouldn't say. This made Principal Wang misunderstand that something had happened to his old classmate, and he wanted to find out even more. Finally, after much hesitation, Madam Wang told him that Academician Wang had gone to Hanhai Villa to teach Long Xiaohai, the young master of the Long family, and asked Principal Wang to keep it a secret, saying it was a task assigned by a central leader. Seeing Principal Wang's sudden change in expression and the sweat on his brow, Teacher Zhang exclaimed, "Principal Wang, what's wrong... are you feeling unwell?" Principal Wang waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Please invite Liu Xiaohai here; I'll personally present him with the certificate." Teacher Zhang, still somewhat uneasy, looked at Principal Wang's face and said, "Are you really alright? I'll call the school doctor to take a look." Principal Wang said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine. Go and invite Liu Xiaohai here; remember to be polite." Although Teacher Zhang had many questions, she didn't dare ask him, simply agreeing and turning to find Liu Xiaohai. When Liu Xiaohai arrived at the principal's office with Teacher Zhang, who had been so polite to him all the way, Principal Wang's expression had returned to normal. Seeing Liu Xiaohai arrive, he said to Teacher Zhang, "Teacher Zhang, you can go out now."

After Teacher Zhang left the principal's office, Principal Wang closed the door, turned around, and smiled, "Liu Xiaohai, please sit down. It was a bit presumptuous of me to call you here today, perhaps I was too hasty, but I just wanted to say thank you."

Liu Xiaohai was taken aback and asked, "Principal, what are you thanking me for?"

Principal Wang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You're not surnamed Liu, are you?"

Liu Xiaohai immediately realized that Principal Wang knew he was Long Xiaohai, and awkwardly said, "You know."

Principal Wang quickly nodded and said, "I just guessed. Don't worry, no one else knows. I know it's inappropriate to call you here so directly, but you're about to leave the school, and I was afraid I wouldn't have a chance to thank the Long family later, so I resorted to this."

Liu Xiaohai knew he was referring to the land issue and smiled, "It's nothing, I've caused trouble for the school. I hope you won't blame me, Principal. I didn't mean to hide it from the school."

Principal Wang quickly said, "I understand, I understand. How could I blame Young Master Long? It's an honor for the school that Young Master Long can study here. It's a pity this matter cannot be publicized, otherwise other schools would be extremely envious."

His eyes were filled with disappointment.

Liu Xiaohai smiled awkwardly and said, "I had a very happy and unforgettable few months at school. I will definitely come back to visit everyone when I have the chance. I will come back publicly in the future."

Principal Wang picked up the graduation certificate and handed it to Liu Xiaohai, smiling, "That's great! It's a deal. You must come..."

Chapter 062 Dongying Club

At this time, Shanghai was already the most populous, highest-income, and most prosperous metropolis in the world. Underworld organizations from all over the world were eyeing this market covetously, wanting to seize a place. In their eyes, many Chinese officials were extremely corrupt, and the government was a one-party dictatorship. As long as they maintained good relations with the government, they could do whatever they wanted in this prosperous land. The law was sometimes just a slogan.

Indeed, sometimes they were very safe under the protection of a high-ranking government official, but they did not know that this was also their fatal weakness. Precisely because China was a one-party dictatorship, the central leaders were extremely disgusted by the rise of organized crime in China, because it was a hidden danger to the regime. Small-scale disturbances are fine; the higher-ups won't bother with you. But once you show your face, you're finished. A simple official document can wipe you out of this land.

In foreign countries, when organized crime encounters government crackdowns, they can bring a legal team to reason with the government. In China, that doesn't work. An official document is law. If you don't want to reason, the government will reason and reason with you; but when you do want to reason, the central leaders won't bother with you, and they'll dredge up old grievances from ten years ago.

The Hirota family is an exception because they're smart. They understand China; as long as they don't show their faces, they're safe. They just do business in China, albeit shady, but unlike the Mafia or Yamaguchi-gumi, they don't bring a large gang of thugs and assassins to fight local gangs for territory. They cooperate with local gangs and are even willing to pay them protection money.

The Hirota family doesn't deal in drugs or arms; they know these would bring ruin to the family. They only engage in the sex industry, a more profitable business than drugs or arms, because the market is so vast and a loophole that no government can completely eradicate. Some governments even believe that the sex industry, to some extent, contributes to social stability and reduces crimes like rape.

Therefore, in numerous anti-gang campaigns, the Hirota family's business has been largely unaffected, mostly just fines. Sometimes, a subordinate nightclub's license is revoked, but once the heat dies down, the family simply replaces someone and reapplies, continuing to make money. On the contrary, the local gangs that collect protection money become scapegoats, falling time and again in anti-gang campaigns.

All of this is thanks to one person's philosophy: Mitsui Sakurako. Mitsui Sakurako came to China eight years ago with her parents. Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Hirota family. At the time, the family's business in China wasn't large, and her mother didn't want to stay in Japan and compete with her brothers for power, so she came to China for peace and quiet. Unexpectedly, Mitsui Sakurako fully utilized her talents, creating a vast business empire that made her uncles extremely envious. Consequently, her uncles at the Japanese headquarters began sending their children to China to develop the family business there, aiming to divide the Chinese assets.

Mitsui Sakurako understood her uncles' intentions perfectly and surprisingly cooperated. When Hirota Junko and Hirota Masao arrived, she relinquished control of the businesses. She was tired of navigating the power struggles and backstabbing, only requesting that the Dongying Club remain hers, while all other businesses were handed over to the family. The Hirota family, surprised by her "understanding," readily agreed, promising her personal share of the Dongying Club's income as a reward for her contributions to the family. The Dongying Club was a

large Japanese-style private club in Shanghai, covering 3,000 square meters, located between Shanghai's upscale business and residential areas. It was a establishment catering to high-level individuals in the sex industry; ordinary white-collar workers had no right to join. Inside, there are various services including artificial Japanese hot spring baths, a casino, a nightclub, Japanese cuisine, karaoke, and guest rooms. All the staff, including security guards and chefs, are women, all from Japan, each stunningly beautiful—young girls, glamorous women, and mature ladies alike. Every man in the club is a customer.

Hirota Junko and Liu Xiaohai had arranged to meet at the Japanese restaurant in the Dongying Club. Hirota Junko arrived early and was chatting with her cousin, Mitsui Sakurako.

Although Mitsui Sakurako didn't have much affection for the Hirota family, Hirota Masao was still her cousin, and having his legs broken made her somewhat angry. Hirota Junko's actions also surprised her, and she asked, puzzled, "From what you've said, he's just an ordinary student. Why be so roundabout? This isn't like your usual way of handling things. However, I agree with you not resorting to violence directly. After all, this is China; there's no need to cause trouble for an ordinary student."

Hirota Junko replied, "Cousin, do you want me to let him off the hook? He broke Masao's legs; I absolutely will make him pay."

Mitsui Sakurako said, "That's not what I meant. Masao is also my cousin, and of course I want to avenge him, but this is just a student fight. You should focus on the family business. I'll have Shi Hu send someone to teach him a lesson."

Shi Hu was a local gang leader, and this club was within his sphere of influence, under his protection—of course, for protection money.

Last time, Liu Shida hired someone to teach Liu Xiaohai a lesson, and it was Shi Hu who did it.

Hirota Junko said, "What use are these small gangs in China? I really don't understand what my cousin was thinking, actually giving them protection money. If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn't need to find these people; my own men could easily handle it."

Mitsui Sakurako said, "I don't want to cause trouble for the family. Our goal is to make money. Do you know why there aren't any big gangs in China with its billion-plus population? This is a country with a one-party dictatorship; standing out will only lead to bad results. I hope you understand." Hirota Junko smiled dismissively, "Thank you for reminding me, cousin. I will put the long-term interests of the family first and will definitely not let the family down."

Mitsui Sakurako stopped trying to persuade her and said, "Then how come you still have time to use your beauty to deal with a useless student? Is it worth it?"

Hirota Junko smiled, "Compared to my cousin, what am I? But he's an interesting person. I think he's someone I can use before avenging Masao."

Although Mitsui Sakurako was close to 30, her cold and elegant temperament combined with her stunning beauty still made the usually confident Hirota Junko feel inferior.

Mitsui Sakurako became interested and asked, "How is he interesting? He actually made our Miss Junko's heart flutter."

Hirota Junko said, "He's only 17 years old, but he's the top student in Fukujin this year, and he graduated after only half a semester. He also plays the piano beautifully. Do you think he's a talented person?"

Mitsui Sakurako was slightly moved, but still said, "He does have some talent, but such a person may not be suitable for our industry. Maybe he's just a bookworm."

Hirota Junko said, "But he's not a bookworm. Otherwise, how could he have broken Masao's legs so easily? You know Masao's strength. He even injured Liu Shida, the son of Liu Haisheng of the wealthy Zhonghai Group, at school. And Liu Shida not only didn't retaliate, but willingly became his friend. Although I don't know the reason, this at least proves his ability to handle things."

Mitsui Sakurako nodded and said, "Looks like he's really a talent."

Hirota Junko said, "And he's handsome too. Even if he's not very useful, he'd be great to take to the Japanese film set to shoot adult films. I believe that under my tutelage, he'll be an excellent adult film actor, hehe...hehe..."

After saying that, she laughed lewdly.

Mitsui Sakurako shook her head and said, "How could you even think of that..."

Hirota Junko smiled sinisterly, "Anyway, I'll make sure his end is terrible. That's the consequence of offending our family."

Thinking of Liu Xiaohai's expression that seemed to disregard her, she felt a surge of malice.

Liu Xiaohai was completely unfamiliar with downtown Shanghai. Coincidentally, the taxi driver he was in had only been driving for a few days and had never heard of this club. It took them a long time to find the place that Hirota Junko had mentioned. Liu Xiaohai got out of the car and walked into the club. The female doorman at the entrance, seeing he had arrived by taxi and was dressed very plainly, stopped him and asked rudely, "Do you have a membership card?"

Liu Xiaohai was taken aback and honestly replied, "No..."

The doorman coldly said, "I'm sorry, this is a private club; only members can enter."

Liu Xiaohai said, "Someone invited me here. Could you please go in and tell her?"

The doorman clearly didn't believe anyone would invite a student-looking boy to such a place and was about to shoo him away when a woman who looked like a manager ran out and asked Liu Xiaohai, "Are you Mr. Liu Xiaohai?"

Liu Xiaohai nodded and said, "Yes, someone invited me here."

The woman immediately smiled and said, "Please come in. Miss Chunzi has been waiting for you for a long time."

The doorman quickly apologized and opened the door for him. Liu Xiaohai didn't mind, said thank you, and followed the manager into the Dongying Club. The lobby was filled with glamorous women; there wasn't a single man. Men who entered wouldn't sit in the lobby.

They all looked at Liu Xiaohai. Usually, the customers were mostly middle-aged men with potbellies, so they were naturally surprised to see such a handsome young man in the club. Several mature women who knew the manager boldly approached and asked, "Manager, may I serve this young gentleman?"

The manager replied, "This is Miss Junko's guest; he's here for dinner."

The women walked away disappointed. They were speaking Japanese, assuming Liu Xiaohai wouldn't understand.

Liu Xiaohai was fluent in multiple languages, including Japanese, so he naturally knew what they were saying. He hadn't expected Hirota Junko to invite him to such a place, but considering the Hirota family's involvement in the sex industry, it wasn't entirely unexpected. He understood this must be one of the Hirota family's properties in Shanghai.

Chapter 63 Junko Goes Mad

. The Dongying Club had thirteen floors. Because the Japanese revered turtles, the number of turtles was heavily incorporated into the architecture. The restaurant was on the third floor, filled with private rooms of various sizes. The manager led Liu Xiaohai to the innermost room, opened the door, and said, "Mr. Liu, please come in."

Liu Xiaohai nodded and said thank you, then entered the private room. Hirota Junko was standing by the window looking out. Hearing the voice, she turned around and said gently, "You've finally arrived."

Liu Xiaohai smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know the way, I've kept you waiting."

Hirota Junko said, "You're not late, so there's no need to apologize. What do you think of me today? Am I pretty?"

As she spoke, she twirled around, holding the sides of her long dress. Today she was wearing a pure white long dress with pleats, the skirt almost touching the ground, concealing her beautiful legs but arousing even more desire. The upper part was quite revealing, with her shoulders completely exposed, all the way to her chest, and the upper part of her firm breasts were also fully exposed. A jade necklace adorned her snow-white neck, with a turquoise jade pendant hanging between her breasts, making one dizzy. She looked like a blend of youthful girlish charm and mature womanly allure.

Liu Xiaohai didn't dare to look closely, and casually said, "Very beautiful."

Hirota Junko had spent twice as much time as usual meticulously dressing up in order to win Liu Xiaohai over, but he hadn't even looked at her closely. Although he praised her beauty, his tone was dismissive. A surge of intense anger welled up inside her; she vowed to make this boy as devoted to her as a dog. This was a matter of dignity, not to mention her cousin was watching them from next door.

"May I call you Xiaohai? Calling you Mr. Liu seems too formal, not like a friendly address,"

Hirota Junko said, trying to close the distance between them with a sweeter tone after regaining her composure.

Liu Xiaohai politely replied, "Of course, Miss Hirota."

Hirota Junko said, "Just call me Junko, that's what my friends call me. I've already ordered, you don't mind, do you?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "Of course I don't mind, Miss... Miss Junko, this is my first time eating Japanese food, I don't know how to order."

He had eaten cuisines from various countries, but never Japanese food. The reason was that Long Hanhai didn't like it. The reason he had Liu Xiaohai learn Japanese wasn't so he could communicate with Japanese people in the future, but rather to guard against that despicable country.

"Then I'm relieved. But are you really going to let me stand here? You're treating today."

Hirota Junko smiled sweetly, very charmingly, but unfortunately Liu Xiaohai had his head down and didn't see it.

Liu Xiaohai quickly invited Hirota Junko to sit down, and he sat opposite her. The dining style here was purely Japanese, with a low rectangular table in the middle and several cushions on either side. Liu Xiaohai had never sat on such a cushion before. He originally wanted to sit like Hirota Junko, but seeing that she knelt, he didn't follow her example. His grandfather had once said that a man's knees are worth gold and one should not kneel easily. So he took three cushions, stacked them together, and squatted down.

As soon as he sat down, more than a dozen waiters dressed in kimonos, as if they had been waiting at the door, lined up and walked in, carrying trays in both hands. They placed dishes of Japanese food on the low table, along with two bottles of sake.

After filling Liu Xiaohai's and her own glasses, Hirota Junko said softly, "You seem reluctant to eat with me."

Liu Xiaohai indeed thought she was right, because he always felt annoyed when he was with her, but of course he couldn't admit it: "How could that be?"

Hirota Junko said, "Then why don't you look at me? Are these dishes more appealing than me?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "Of course not, I came here today to apologize to you, so... so I didn't dare to look at you."

Hirota Junko smiled and said, "I've already forgotten about that. Masao's leg is much better now, and he's gone back to Japan. I think you're a very interesting person. There's a Chinese saying, 'No fight, no friendship,' so this can be considered our fate."

Liu Xiaohai picked up his glass and said, "Then I'm relieved. I'll toast you to thank you for not holding a grudge against me."

After finishing his drink, Liu Xiaohai quickly grabbed the bottle and poured more wine for the two of them. After all, he was the one who invited her today, and although this was her turf, he couldn't always expect her to serve him.

Hirota Junko, unsure how to approach this seemingly naive but indifferent boy, started a conversation by asking, "Xiao Hai, why did you graduate early? Isn't it a pity to give up the opportunity to continue studying in Fujin? But I still admire you for passing the exam."

Liu Xiao Hai replied, "I want to start working as soon as possible and earn money to support myself."

Hirota Junko smiled and said, "I didn't realize you were so ambitious at such a young age. What kind of job are you looking for? Maybe I can help you."

She deliberately called him "sister" in a very ambiguous way, wanting to see Liu Xiaohai's reaction.

Liu Xiaohai, without much reaction, casually replied, "I haven't thought about it carefully. As long as I can support myself, that's fine." Hirota Junko felt a pang of frustration, but still sweetly said, "Why don't you come to my company? I just came to Shanghai to take over the family business, and I'm also studying in Fujin. I'm really overwhelmed, so I'd like to find some capable people to help me."

Liu Xiaohai knew what kind of business her family was in, so he wouldn't help her. He said, "Thank you, Miss Junko, but I don't know anything about this, so I probably can't help you."

Hirota Junko smiled and said, "You can learn if you don't know. Few people can match your learning ability. I believe you'll be a good helper."

Liu Xiaohai said, "I came here today to apologize to Miss Junko. How can I accept your offer?"

Hirota Junko still didn't want to give up, saying, "It's not that I'm offering you anything. You just happen to be looking for a job, and I just happen to need people. This is mutual help. I'll give you a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, and I'll increase it if you do well. What do you think?"

A monthly salary of 20,000 yuan is considered quite good in Shanghai these days; it's impossible for a recent graduate to find such a job.

Liu Xiaohai had no choice but to say directly, "I appreciate Miss Junko's kindness, but I have reservations about the Hirota family's business and will not enter such an industry."

In Hirota Junko's mind, all men are lustful. People like Liu Xiaohai, mainly due to limited exposure and different educations, are temporarily unable to accept this. However, once he enters this industry and tastes its delightful pleasures, he will be unable to resist and will become obediently under her control. So she said, "You're wrong. Our family has various businesses, such as restaurants, factories, and hospitals. These are all very noble industries. My sister came to China because she didn't like those businesses." Liu Xiaohai didn't believe her. Once inside the club, he would know what kind of business it was. He had originally wanted to use his mental perception to understand Hirota Junko's intentions, but he sensed that many rooms in the club were witnessing erotic transactions, which made him quickly withdraw his mental perception and dare not use it again.

Seeing his silence, Hirota Junko assumed he was smitten and continued, "If you don't like this offer, I can give you more. I believe you're talented, and I'm so lonely in Shanghai with no friends. I really want you by my side. I liked you the first time I saw you."

Seeing his lack of interest in money, she started using her charm, calling him "sister" repeatedly,

her words becoming increasingly suggestive. In the past, Liu Xiaohai might have believed her, given his lack of social experience and tendency to trust people easily. However, since developing his sensory abilities, his intuition had become exceptionally sharp, especially in matters of the heart. Although he hadn't used his senses to probe Hirota Junko's true intentions, he could still sense her ulterior motives, a stark contrast to the selfless love he felt from Sun Meng and Zhou Zixuan. Nevertheless, her suggestive words, coupled with her alluring voice, made Liu Xiaohai blush with embarrassment, unable to look at her.

Seeing Liu Xiaohai's face turn red, Hirota Junko was even more certain that he was attracted to her. She stretched

her leg across the table and placed it on Liu Xiaohai's calf, saying, "Don't you like me at all? How about I be your girlfriend?" Liu Xiaohai quickly moved his leg away, blushing, and said, "I already have a girlfriend."

Hirota Junko had heard about him and Sun Meng at school and laughed, "I didn't ask you to break up with her. Don't tell me you're loyal. Men like that are extinct. Only those who can't be unfaithful have to be loyal."

Liu Xiaohai was speechless. He already had six girlfriends; how could he claim to be loyal?

Hirota Junko had extensive experience dealing with such naive boys and knew that dragging things out would be detrimental. Seeing Liu Xiaohai's expression, she felt it was time. She got up, walked behind him, and said, "I'll make you feel like you're in heaven, I'll show you what a woman is..."

As she spoke, she knelt down and hugged Liu Xiaohai's waist.

A figure flashed before her eyes, and Hirota Junko's embrace landed on empty air. She hadn't expected Liu Xiaohai to escape, and she lost her balance, her forehead slamming heavily against the table with a loud thud, causing her to cry out in pain.

Liu Xiaohai had already reached the door, frantically pulling it open and turning around, saying, "Miss Junko, I...I have some urgent business. Enjoy your meal, I'll pay the bill and leave."

Without waiting for Hirota Junko's reply, he dashed away like a whirlwind.

Hirota Junko felt like she was going crazy, losing control and overturning the table, scratching her head and screaming. When Mitsui Sakurako entered, she was disheveled and looked truly like a madwoman.

Mitsui Sakurako comforted her, "Chinese boys are different from Japanese boys. They are taught from a young age to suppress their desires. I think he's already fallen for you, you're just a little too hasty." Hirota Junko

was no longer listening to advice, shouting, "I'm going to kill him..."

Mitsui Sakurako shook her head and left the room, only to hear the continued sound of things being smashed inside.

Chapter 64 Finding a Job

Mitsui Sakurako went back to the next room, turned on the video she had just recorded, and watched the scene of the boy running out of the private room over and over again, smiling sweetly.

Mitsui Sakurako was a woman full of romantic fantasies, but she was born into Japan's largest sex trafficking family and had participated in the family business for many years. She had seen all kinds of men, and in her eyes, men were just lowly animals who only knew how to find a place to vent their frustrations, devoid of any emotion. She had long since given up on men.

She had tried to find the love she imagined, but could never find someone she could give her heart and body to. Over time, her personality became extremely strange; she hated men. Now, almost 30 years old, she had never had a single romantic relationship and was still a virgin.

Just when she was in despair and prepared to remain single for life, she was surprised to discover this different boy. This boy could actually resist his cousin's temptation. She knew her cousin's allure; besides her captivating appearance, she had also undergone special training from the Hirota family. Not to mention a hot-blooded young man, even a seasoned adult would find it difficult to resist her gentle offensive.

When she saw her cousin use all her strength to finally reach the boy, she thought he was doomed. She could already imagine what would happen next. Just as she was about to turn off the screen, a dramatic change occurred: the boy dodged her cousin's embrace and ran away.

Although he seemed panicked and disheveled, like he was running for his life, it was the most beautiful scene she had ever witnessed. It rekindled her hope for life and showed her that not every man would take the initiative to sleep with a beautiful woman.

"What a pity... he's too young. Why couldn't I meet a man like him before...

" Mitsui Sakura sighed helplessly, about to turn off the recording, when the door was slammed open and Hirota Junko rushed in, shouting, "Cousin, where's Shi Hu you mentioned? Tell him to kill this kid!"

Mitsui Sakura's heart trembled. How could she bear to find someone to kill this boy now? But she knew her cousin; even if she didn't help her find someone, she had her own way of doing it. She said coldly, "What, are you just giving up like this? This isn't like you."

Hirota Junko followed Mitsui Sakura's gaze and saw the screen showing Liu Xiaohai avoiding her and running out of the private room. She was even more furious. She couldn't understand how this could have happened. Her years of training in seduction had no effect on this kid. She gritted her teeth and said, "This bastard... I'm so angry..."

Little did she know that the spiritual power within Liu Xiaohai was the power of love. If she truly loved and liked him, he would reciprocate with the same love. Even Liu Xiaohai himself couldn't control this. But using unnatural seductive techniques on him would not only fail to attract him, but would also make him feel irritated and repulsed.

Mitsui Sakurako then provoked him, saying, "I didn't expect that our Miss Junko would have a man she couldn't handle. It seems that this kid is really not simple. You have a swelling on your forehead, so put some medicine on it first."

Hirota Junko hadn't noticed it earlier because she was so angry, but now when she touched it, a sharp pain shot through her. Sure enough, a large bump had appeared on her forehead. She quickly grabbed a mirror and saw a thumb-sized, bluish-green swelling on her forehead, very noticeable, like a unicorn. She was so angry she almost fainted, gritting her teeth and shouting, "Just you wait, I'll make you wish you were dead, wish you were dead... wish you were dead..."

She kept shouting until her voice became hoarse, like a ghost wailing.

Seeing her like this, Mitsui Sakurako didn't know if what she was doing was right, unsure whether she was helping Liu Xiaohai or harming him, but at least he was safe for now. She was now focused on something else, coldly saying, "Have you gone crazy enough? I have something to talk to you about."

Hirota Junko gasped, "I don't want to talk about anything right now."

Mitsui Sakurako said, "Then you'd better not regret it."

Hirota Junko knew her cousin wouldn't joke with her, and asked, bewildered, "What do you want to talk about?"

Mitsui Sakurako said, "I know the family has always been envious of my club. I don't want it anymore, I can give it to you, of course, I'll sell it to you."

Hirota Junko instantly forgot her anger. This Dongying Club was one of the most profitable places for the Hirota family in China, with a net profit of around 200 million yuan annually after expenses. However, the family had promised it would belong to Mitsui Sakurako, so they could only watch and drool. Now that she was actually offering to sell it, how could she not be tempted?

Before Hirota Junko could speak, Mitsui Sakurako continued, "The price is 600 million RMB. If you want it, reply to me as soon as possible, don't wait for me to change my mind."

Hirota Junko was overjoyed; 600 million was a steal, she could earn it back in just three years. She immediately nodded and said, "Okay, when is the transaction?"

Mitsui Sakurako knew that Hirota Junko had decision-making power in China, so she said, "If you can raise the money now, the transaction can be completed immediately."

Hirota Junko also knew that her cousin meant what she said, and asked in confusion, "Cousin, why are you suddenly selling the club, and the price... the price is very reasonable."

Actually, it wasn't reasonable, it was extremely cheap.

Mitsui Sakurako looked out the window and said calmly, "I want a different life, I hate this kind of life..."

Hirota Junko was stunned; she clearly couldn't understand.

*************************************************** Liu Xiaohai spent a day renting a room. Shanghai apartments are incredibly expensive; his one-bedroom apartment, only about 30 square meters, cost over 2000 yuan a month. However, the neighborhood was nice, the room was fully furnished, and he could move in immediately. The decor also suited his taste.

On the weekend, Liu Xiaohai took the subway to Xuhui Stadium, where a job fair was held every weekend. He had learned about it from the newspaper and came to see if he could find a suitable job.

The job fair was bustling with people. People from all over the country, hoping to strike it rich, crowded the originally spacious hall. Every company's recruitment booth was packed with people.

Liu Xiaohai wanted to find a sales job because his grandfather, Long Hanhai, started as a salesman, and he was deeply influenced by him, wanting to try and follow in his grandfather's footsteps. He first walked around the venue and was delighted to find that 60% of the companies were recruiting salesmen. Not knowing which companies to apply to, he handed out his resume to each one.

When companies saw his resume, they were initially interested because he was a graduate of Fudan University. However, after a closer look, they mostly changed their minds, suspecting the authenticity of the seemingly immature boy's diploma. Upon examining it, they found numerous inconsistencies.

First, Fudan students are typically either top students or wealthy individuals; why would they seek out a demanding sales job? Furthermore, his graduation date was wrong—he had only graduated a few days prior, and it was already the second half of the year. Most unbelievably, he had only enrolled at Fudan University this year and graduated in just a few months. Such a thing is unheard of; he'd probably be expelled… This guy couldn't even forge documents; how could he possibly run a sales business?

Therefore, most companies simply set his resume aside, didn't discuss it further, and told him to wait for their notification—none of them even considered contacting him.

However, some companies did actively seek out Liu Xiaohai. One was a travel service company. A woman in her forties glanced at Liu Xiaohai and pulled him aside, saying their company was recruiting male escorts, and that he was a perfect fit, capable of earning tens of thousands of yuan a month. Liu Xiaohai was happy to receive a call from someone. He didn't know that being a male escort involved accompanying wealthy women on trips and selling his body. Luckily, he didn't care about the income; he just wanted to experience being a salesperson. He politely declined, avoiding falling into a trap.

After a morning of scrambling around, sweating profusely, Liu Xiaohai finally finished distributing all the personal information he had. The replies were all the same: wait for a notification. He went to a bookstore and bought a few books on sales techniques. Back in his small room, he read them, grabbing whatever food he could find when he got hungry. He was quite relaxed.

Three days later, a company actually invited him for an interview. It was a company called Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and the company wasn't far away, only two streets from his rented apartment. Excitedly, Liu Xiaohai changed his clothes, put on a tie, looked in the mirror, and decided he really looked like a salesperson. Satisfied, he left the house.

Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.'s office is located in the Hongbao Building. In this 39-story office building, it's considered a small company, renting only a quarter of the fifth floor. There are two small offices: one for the general manager and the other for finance. Outside is a larger room with seven or eight desks and a small meeting room.

The Hongbao Building belongs to the Hongbao Pharmaceutical Group. The top dozen or so floors are the group's own offices and headquarters. The lower 20 floors are rented out, with 80% of the spaces occupied by small pharmaceutical companies, some of which are affiliated with the Hongbao Pharmaceutical Group. Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., for example, is affiliated with the Hongbao Pharmaceutical Group.

When Liu Xiaohai arrived, there were already more than a dozen people waiting for interviews. They were received by Manager Wang, the marketing department manager, whose smiling demeanor made him seem approachable. After registering everyone's names, Manager Wang took turns calling people into the general manager's office for interviews, telling them not to be nervous and praising the general manager for being approachable and kind to employees, speaking loudly, as if deliberately flattering the general manager.

Soon it was Liu Xiaohai's turn. The general manager was indeed very approachable, introducing himself as Xu Wenshen, the company's owner, who had also started as a pharmaceutical salesman. He encouraged Liu Xiaohai, saying that if he worked hard, he could also have his own business in the future.

This earned Liu Xiaohai's respect. Although the company wasn't large, his experience of starting from scratch, like his grandfather, was admirable. Liu Xiaohai sincerely promised to work hard and not disappoint his boss.

Xu Wenshen nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "When I saw your information, I couldn't believe it. You're a graduate of Fudan University, and only 17 years old! You enrolled and graduated this year. I checked online, and the diploma is genuine. With your abilities, you could definitely pursue further studies. Are you having financial difficulties?"

Liu Xiaohai blushed and said, "No, I'm not having any difficulties. I just want to challenge myself and hopefully ease my grandfather's burden as soon as possible."

This wasn't exactly a lie.

Xu Wenshen assumed he meant university tuition when he said "burden," and sighed, "I didn't expect you to be so filial at such a young age... Come to work tomorrow, is that alright?"

Liu Xiaohai happily replied, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, of course, no problem."

Chapter 065 Three Types of Medicine

On his first day at work, Liu Xiaohai was very excited and arrived at the company early. Unexpectedly, the others who had interviewed with him arrived even earlier, and almost all of the people who had interviewed yesterday were already at work. After introducing themselves, they discovered that some of them hadn't even gone to university, indicating that the company had very low educational requirements for its sales staff.

Work starts at 9:00 AM. Around that time, company staff, including the boss Xu Wenshen, began arriving. Manager Wang, who had greeted them the day before, led everyone into the conference room. Two senior sales representatives distributed company rules and regulations, as well as employee handbooks, for everyone to review.

Manager Wang then introduced the two senior sales representatives: one named Wang Jian, a short, stout man in his thirties, and the other a woman named Zhao Xiaoman, dressed rather attractively and also appearing to be around 30. Both had recently been promoted to sales supervisors due to their outstanding performance, and the 12 newly recruited sales representatives would be divided into two groups and led by them.

After everyone introduced themselves, Manager Wang began to explain the company's history, current situation, and future development.

Xu Wenshen, the boss of Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., was originally a sales representative for Hongbao Pharmaceutical Company. After years of hard work, he rose from sales representative to sales manager. Six years ago, he started his own company, affiliated with Hongbao Pharmaceutical Company, primarily selling drugs from small pharmaceutical companies in other provinces in Shanghai.

China has many restrictions on drug distribution. Initially, only state-owned pharmaceutical companies were allowed to wholesale drugs, and even then, only locally. Pharmaceutical companies couldn't directly wholesale drugs to pharmacies, hospitals, or other medical institutions; they had to go through local pharmaceutical companies as agents.

After several reforms, many strong private pharmaceutical companies also obtained wholesale rights, such as large companies like Hongbao Pharmaceutical Company. However, they could only operate locally and were subject to the supervision of the local pharmaceutical corporation. Smaller companies like Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company, of course, didn't have direct operating rights and needed to be affiliated with companies that did.

The procedures for a drug to enter Shanghai or other markets are extremely complicated. Many small pharmaceutical companies from other regions, lacking the resources to expand their markets themselves, typically find local pharmaceutical companies to act as agents, offering a low base price and then washing their hands of the rest. Pricing, public relations, wholesale, and promotion are all handled by the agent company. Qingyuan Company engaged in this kind of business.

Through various overt and covert efforts by the distribution company, a drug with a distribution price of 10 yuan per box can, after approval by the local price bureau, be marked up several times, even ten times, to a retail price of over 100 yuan per box, resulting in a huge profit margin.

In reality, distribution companies like Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company don't actually make much money. First, before a new drug enters the market, a considerable amount of money is spent on approval and pricing. Getting it into hospitals for doctors to use also costs money. After hospitals agree to use it, since they don't have the right to distribute it, they need to go through the distribution channels of large pharmaceutical companies, and they have to give up a portion of their profits to these companies.

The remaining money must go to the sales staff's commissions, which cannot be reduced. The sales volume of a drug depends entirely on whether doctors use it, and a large portion of the sales staff's commission goes to doctors. They can't refuse to give these commissions; there are too many similar drugs now, many just with different names. If you don't give doctors commissions, they'll use drugs from other companies. Giving too little is unacceptable.

So you can't entirely blame these pharmaceutical companies for being too unscrupulous and setting prices too high. These days, the higher the drug price, the better it sells, because only by setting a high price can they give doctors more kickbacks. Patients don't understand; they just take whatever the doctor prescribes. Doctors are also motivated by kickbacks; even if one box would cure a patient, they'll prescribe at least three… Hospitals turn a blind eye. A box of medicine costing 10 yuan only earns about 3 yuan in profit, but if the same medicine sells for 100 yuan, the hospital can earn at least 30 yuan.

Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company just became the agent for three new drugs, which have passed the approval of the management department and the pricing department, and are about to start sales. Therefore, they need to recruit new sales staff, as the existing sales staff are already handling other drugs and don't have the energy to develop the market for new drugs.

One of these three drugs is a traditional Chinese medicine for treating gynecological diseases, with a retail price of 68 yuan per box; another is a Western antibiotic, with a retail price of 96 yuan; and the third is an anti-cancer traditional Chinese medicine, but only costs 16 yuan.

For Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company, given Xu Wenshen's years of cultivating customer relationships, getting these drugs into hospitals wouldn't be difficult. The sales representatives' job was promotion, which meant working with doctors and building good relationships. Through the combined effect of these relationships and kickbacks, they aimed to increase sales of these drugs.

The new sales representatives were very excited when they heard that the commission would be around 30% of the retail price. Although most of it would go to the doctors, they still had a considerable amount left, and they seemed very confident. Only Liu Xiaohai was completely bewildered. He couldn't believe that the job involved giving kickbacks, and he certainly couldn't believe that doctors were like this nowadays. (Actually, since China opened up, it's now 2038, and doctors have been doing this for decades, he just didn't know it.

Liu Xiaohai has studied a great deal, including medicine and pharmacy, and understands the effects and ingredients of these three drugs. The traditional Chinese medicine for treating gynecological diseases doesn't contain expensive herbs; even with packaging, the cost is at most 3 yuan, yet it sells for 68 yuan. Moreover, it's an old formula from the Compendium of Materia Medica, so there are no research and development costs.

The antibiotic is even more outrageous; it's just ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, just renamed and put in a sustained-release capsule, yet it sells for 98 yuan. The same drug seems to cost only about 10 yuan a box in pharmacies; only the brand name is different, and patients can't tell the difference.

Only the anti-cancer traditional Chinese medicine is genuine, and it has a clear pharmacological difference from the anti-cancer drugs Liu Xiaohai was familiar with before. ) The obvious difference is that it's a newly developed patented product. If it truly has the same effects as the drug's instructions, then it's a really good drug. The price is not only not high, but extremely cheap. Perhaps selling the patent directly would be more profitable than selling the drug itself. Of course, other companies that buy the patent certainly wouldn't price it at 16 yuan.

Liu Xiaohai picked up the box of anti-cancer drugs called "Baoyi Tablets" and used his mental power to analyze its detailed ingredients and pharmacological effects.

Although Liu Xiaohai had no practical experience in pharmacy and medicine, his enhanced brain possessed a knowledge that no expert could match. He was surprised to find that it was indeed a good drug. Although it still had many flaws, it represented a significant breakthrough among current anti-cancer drugs.

Manager Wang, seeing Liu Xiaohai staring blankly at the "Baoyi Tablets," said, "This time, everyone's main sales task is those two new drugs; Baoyi Tablets are just..." "This is a product the company is selling on behalf of others. Everyone can sell it if they want, but don't force yourselves if you can't."

Liu Xiaohai asked, puzzled, "Why? I think this medicine is good, and it's cheap."

Manager Wang smiled and said, "It's precisely because it's so cheap that there's not much room for maneuver. It's also a prescription drug, meaning it can only be used under a doctor's guidance. What doctor would use it if there were no benefits? Therefore, we analyze that this medicine will be difficult to open up the market. We won't blame anyone if it doesn't sell well; we might find someone else to handle this medicine in the future."

Liu Xiaohai's heart stirred, and he asked, "Manager Wang, can I handle this medicine?"

Manager Wang hesitated, then advised, "You're new to this industry and don't understand it yet. Pharmaceutical salespeople rely on commissions for their livelihood. Many of our experienced salespeople are unwilling to handle this product. You should understand the market first before considering it."

Liu Xiaohai sincerely insisted, "Thank you for your suggestion, Manager Wang. " "I'm awake, but I really want to try."

Manager Wang, annoyed that he wouldn't listen to her advice, said coldly, "This is the boss's decision. You can go talk to him."

Although Liu Xiaohai felt it would be impolite to leave like this, he didn't want to stay in the meeting room listening to their instructions on how to give kickbacks. He said thank you, walked to the general manager's office next door, and knocked on the door. After Xu Wenshen said "Come in," he opened the door and went in.

Xu Wenshen was surprised to see Liu Xiaohai and asked, "Is the morning training over?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "Not yet. I have something I want to discuss with General Manager Xu, so... so I'm sorry to bother you."

Xu Wenshen nodded and said, "Then please sit down and talk. Is there any problem on your first day at work?"

Liu Xiaohai placed the "Baoyi Tablets" in front of him and said, "General Manager Xu, I heard the company wants to find someone else to make this medicine, is that right?"

Xu Wenshen was also taken aback, and said, "Actually, the company hasn't figured out how to make this medicine yet, and it's not certain that anyone will be willing to do it. At its price, it's hard to find a market."

Liu Xiaohai said, "Mr. Xu, I'm willing to do it. Do you think that's okay?"

Xu Wenshen looked at Liu Xiaohai and asked meaningfully, "Can you tell me why?"

Liu Xiaohai nodded and said, "I think this is a good medicine, and patients need this kind of medicine more. Moreover... and the other two medicines..."

Xu Wenshen smiled and said, "You think selling those two products is unethical, right?"

Liu Xiaohai nodded reluctantly.

Xu Wenshen got up and poured Liu Xiaohai a glass of water, smiling, "I really appreciate your perspective; it's like seeing my own past. But the pharmaceutical market is what it is, and our small company can't change it. To survive, we have to adapt to the market. I don't want to discourage you, but I also don't want to see you fail miserably."

Liu Xiaohai was taken aback, realizing he had a point, and asked, "Then why did you take on this drug, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Wenshen sighed, "This is a product my teacher has researched for many years. He got the price approved by the price bureau himself. If he had listened to my advice, this anti-cancer drug could have sold for at least 200 yuan. He's such a stubborn old man. He could have become a billionaire with this drug, but now…sigh…his small pharmaceutical factory will have to close down sooner or later."

Liu Xiaohai felt a deep respect for Xu Wenshen's teacher, and now he wanted to promote the drug and save the factory, saying, "Xu..." "Boss, I still want to work on this product. Can I give it a try?"

Xu Wenshen smiled and said, "Alright... I'm also having a headache about who to hire. You've given me something to say to my teacher. I'll introduce you to him sometime; you two have similar temperaments."

Liu Xiaohai said happily, "I will definitely do my best to make this product a success."

Xu Wenshen said, "Our company's sales staff only receive a basic salary for the first three months. After that, they rely entirely on their commissions. You should be prepared for that. How about this: they get 2000 a month, and I'll give you 3000 a month, for the same three months."

Liu Xiaohai didn't refuse and smiled, "Thank you, Boss Xu."

Chapter 066 Expert Clinic

The Long family has many world-class pharmaceutical companies and drug research and development centers, with distribution channels all over the world. However, Long Hanhai had also mentioned that the Chinese drug market was too chaotic. It seemed that, apart from some unique drugs, the Long family's main sales were overseas.

Liu Xiaohai knew he couldn't change the current state of drug distribution, not even his grandfather could. However, he was confident he could promote the drug. The Long family owned and managed thousands of hospitals worldwide. These hospitals weren't profit-driven; they purchased practical, inexpensive medicines. Every drug underwent rigorous screening before entering the hospitals, squeezing out all the markups and offering only the most affordable options. However, Liu Xiaohai wouldn't immediately ask his grandfather for help; he wanted to try selling the drug on his own. Xu Wenshen

chatted with Liu Xiaohai for a while and discovered that this student, who wasn't a medical school graduate, possessed more pharmaceutical knowledge than he, a graduate of Shanghai Medical College with years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. He was secretly amazed. That afternoon, instead of having him continue learning about the three drugs with the sales staff, he personally explained drug marketing and the precautions for distribution channels.

Liu Xiaohai's memory was unmatched. Although he didn't entirely agree with some of the operational methods Xu Wenshen explained, he could remember them after hearing them only once. Xu Wenshen praised him as a talent and truly believed that Liu Xiaohai had graduated from Fujin in just a few months. He secretly planned that even if Liu Xiaohai still didn't achieve results after three months, he would keep him and train him properly. In his mind, it would be strange if this product could achieve results.

The next day, while the other new sales staff were still in training, Liu Xiaohai began his official work. Following Xu Wenshen's instructions, he first went upstairs to the pharmaceutical sales company of Hongbao Group to find a manager surnamed Li. If any hospital was willing to purchase "Baoyi Tablets," it would have to go through Hongbao Pharmaceutical Company's sales channels, so he needed to make a preliminary introduction.

Manager Li looked at the drug's introduction and price and laughed, "Old Xu actually took this drug. Isn't that just asking for trouble?" It seemed that he also knew about this drug and understood that it was difficult to sell.

Liu Xiaohai handed over the newly printed business card and said, "My name is Liu Xiaohai. I'll be in charge of the sales of this medicine from now on. I hope Manager Li can help me

out." Manager Li took the business card and tossed it aside, saying, "Old Xu and I used to work together as salesmen at Hongbao. Of course I'll help. Go contact the hospitals first, and come back to me when a hospital wants the product."

He then turned to reading the newspaper, not believing that any hospital would actually want the product.

Liu Xiaohai thanked him and left Manager Li's office, where he was to contact the hospitals. This "Baoyi Tablet" was an anti-cancer drug, and its target customers were large hospitals. Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company mainly acted as an agent for drugs from small pharmaceutical factories, and its target customers had always been small hospitals. It had no business relationship with the major hospitals in Shanghai, so Liu Xiaohai had to develop clients himself.

Xu Wenshen had already explained the hospital procurement process to Liu Xiaohai in detail. First, he had to get the approval of a chief physician. The doctor had to agree to use the drug and write an application, which had to be submitted to the hospital's pharmacist committee for approval before the hospital pharmacy would purchase it from the pharmaceutical company.

Liu Xiaohai first went to Shanghai First People's Hospital to find the head of the internal medicine outpatient department. Because there were many patients, he had to wait at the entrance. After an hour, the head was still available. Just as he was wondering what to do, a young man carrying a large backpack asked, "Are you a pharmaceutical representative too?"

Liu Xiaohai replied, "Yes, are you?"

The young man happily said, "Yes, me too. I saw you were only carrying a small briefcase and thought you weren't a pharmaceutical representative."

Liu Xiaohai asked curiously, "Why? Can't pharmaceutical representatives carry bags like this?"

The young man explained, "Not really, but most people use big backpacks like mine. When you first meet someone, you have to give them a gift, right? And you can't just give the head doctor a gift; you have to give gifts to the other doctors too. So you need a backpack as big as mine to fit everything, unless you're giving a red envelope directly. But I hope you're not that silly."

Liu Xiaohai was even more puzzled and asked, "Why... " "What?"

the young man said. "The director is meeting you for the first time and doesn't know you well. Why would he take your money? Unless he's a very familiar, long-time salesperson, and you're definitely here for the first time."

Liu Xiaohai said admiringly, "You're really amazing. How did you know it was my first time here?"

The young man said smugly, "Pshaw, why would a long-time salesperson who already has business dealings with them sit here like an idiot for an hour? They all contact each other by phone. If I hadn't seen you sitting here for an hour, I really wouldn't have been able to tell you were a pharmaceutical representative."

Liu Xiaohai asked, "So you've been sitting here for an hour too. Are you new to this line of work?"

The young man shook his head and said, "I've been doing this for half a year, but this is my first time at this hospital, so I have to wait. You'd better prepare some small gifts, otherwise the doctor won't remember you and will forget about you once you leave."

After saying that, he opened his large backpack to show Liu Xiaohai. Sure enough, there were quite a few things, including pens, notebooks, tie clips, wallets, etc., like a general store.

Liu Xiaohai hesitated for a moment, but decided against buying anything. Giving a small gift or a big gift was the same thing; if he was going to do it, he might as well go all the way. He asked, "Are there any doctors who don't ask for anything?"

The young man gave him a disdainful look and said, "You're trying to save even this small amount of money? How are you going to do business?" After a while, he added, "It's not that there aren't, but those doctors won't help you get your medicine. They're very aloof and hate us pharmaceutical representatives. You'll be kicked out as soon as you hand them your business card."

Liu Xiaohai asked excitedly, "Do you know which doctors don't ask for money?"

The young man said, "How would I know? These kinds of exceptional doctors are rare. Just because he kicked you out doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't want money. He might just be in a bad mood today, unless you can read his mind."

Liu Xiaohai's heart skipped a beat. While his intuition couldn't yet read minds, he could discern whether someone was upright or corrupt from their inner thoughts, helping him find the right target and avoid unnecessary detours.

Seeing Liu Xiaohai's delighted expression, the young man said, "Even if you find such a doctor, I advise you not to waste your time. They won't help you get the medicine, much less administer it."

Liu Xiaohai disagreed. He believed these upright doctors wouldn't help people get medicine because drug prices were inflated, and truly good medicine was rarely available for patients. They certainly wouldn't apply for it for you, let alone administer it. His "Baoyi Tablets," however, were genuinely good medicine at a reasonable price. If they understood the medicine's effects and price, they would definitely help. He stood up, thanked the young man, and didn't wait any longer. He had already used his mental senses to scan the department head, and he wasn't the one he was looking for.

Liu Xiaohai began to visit each department one by one. After running around the outpatient building, he went to the inpatient department. He sensed that there were more than ten relatively upright doctors, but only one was a chief physician, and that was a pediatrician, which greatly disappointed him. Just as he was about to leave the hospital, he saw a unique little building next to the outpatient building, with people who looked like patients going in and out. Upon closer inspection,

he realized it was the specialist outpatient building. Clinging to his last glimmer of hope, Liu Xiaohai went inside. Five outpatient clinics were open that day. He used his mental senses to sense each one and was pleasantly surprised to find that the five specialists on duty here had a much more upright and righteous spirit than the doctors outside, especially the specialist in the innermost clinic, who exuded an aura of complete integrity.

Liu Xiaohai hurried over to read the specialist's introduction. His name was Huang Rulin, with a long list of titles such as professor and expert. He also specialized in cancer and was actually the head of the internal medicine department at this hospital. In a top-tier tertiary hospital like this, a large internal medicine department is divided into many smaller internal medicine departments, each with its own director, but all are overseen by the director of the large internal medicine department. An expert professor like Huang Rulin, who also serves as the director of the large internal medicine department, wields influence no less than the hospital director.

The expert's introduction also stated that he only sees patients one day a week, ending at 5 PM. Liu Xiaohai checked the time; it was almost 5 PM. If he didn't see him today, he'd have to wait a week. Anxious, he didn't care whether Professor Huang had time and pushed open the door to rush in.

He heard a sharp shout from behind: "What are you doing?"

Then his clothes were grabbed, and he was pushed against the wall.

Liu Xiaohai turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful young woman blocking the doorway, her large eyes glaring angrily at him. He said, "I'm looking for Professor Huang."

The young woman asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

Liu Xiaohai shook his head. "No."

The young woman asked, "Are you a pharmaceutical representative?"

Liu Xiaohai nodded.

The young woman gave him a disdainful look and said, "Go away, Professor Huang doesn't see pharmaceutical representatives."

Liu Xiaohai, seeing that she wasn't wearing a hospital uniform and was probably younger than him, assumed she wasn't a hospital employee and hardened his tone, retorting, "How do you know Professor Huang won't see me? I have serious business to discuss with him; you wouldn't understand anyway." He then walked inside.

The young woman became furious, spreading her arms to block the door and scolding, "I said I won't see him, and that's final! How can you be so unreasonable?"

Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, Liu Xiaohai also got angry and hurriedly said, "You're not Professor Huang. Young lady, don't interfere with adults doing serious business. I have work to discuss with Professor Huang."

The young woman retorted, "Tch! You're not necessarily older than me. At such a young age, you're already doing something wrong, becoming a pharmaceutical representative."

Liu Xiaohai was speechless, unable to explain that his purpose was different from other pharmaceutical representatives—he wasn't there to deliver kickbacks. Just as he was wondering how he would manage to barge in, the door opened, and an elderly gentleman in his sixties appeared inside—it was Professor Huang Rulin from the expert introduction photo.

Professor Huang said in a gentle voice, "Xin'er, why did you get into a fight? Girls should be more polite."

The girl turned to Professor Huang and said, "Grandpa, I held off a pharmaceutical representative for you. He was trying to force his way in."

Liu Xiaohai hadn't expected the girl to be Professor Huang's granddaughter. He didn't even bother to apologize. He handed over his business card and introduced himself, "Hello, Professor Huang, I'm Qingyuan." Before he could finish, Professor Huang waved his hand and said, "I don't see pharmaceutical representatives. Don't waste your time here. Go find someone else. Xin'er, let's go home."

He didn't even take the business card, closed the door, and walked out with his granddaughter.

Liu Xiaohai had anticipated this beginning. Following Professor Huang, he said, "I'm different from other pharmaceutical salespeople. I'm not here to make money. I'm sure you know I won't make any money after seeing the product's description and price. I came to you because I heard about Professor Huang's character. I want to recommend a medicine that can bring better treatment results to patients, but at a very low price. It's the culmination of a lifetime of research by an upright professor, but he wasn't doing it for profit. The price is so reasonable that no salesperson would want to promote it. But it truly is a good medicine. You need it, and patients need it even more. Please believe me." Professor Huang paused,

then turned around and said, "Young man, it's hard for me to believe what you're saying."

Liu Xiaohai sincerely replied, "Even if I were stupid, I wouldn't try to deceive a senior medical professor with a medicine. You only need a few minutes to look at the product to know if it's genuine. Can you give me those few minutes?" Professor

Huang hesitated for a moment, then held out his hand and said, "Let me see the product instructions."

Liu Xiaohai was overjoyed and quickly took out the product instructions, handing them over with both hands.

Professor Huang took the medicine instructions, released his granddaughter Huang Xin'er's hand, and sat down on a bench by the corridor to read them carefully. Huang Xin'er was clearly very unhappy that Liu Xiaohai was delaying her grandfather's return from get off work, and glared at him angrily. Liu Xiaohai pretended not to see it and quietly waited for Professor Huang to finish reading.

Professor Huang looked at the medicine instructions, becoming increasingly moved with each reading. After finishing, he looked up at Liu Xiaohai and asked, "What's the price of this medicine ? " Liu Xiaohai took out another document and handed it to Professor Huang

with both hands, saying, "The retail price is 16 yuan. This is the price certificate from the price bureau. Please take a look." Professor Huang's eyes widened, and he took the document with some disbelief. He checked the price and it was indeed 16 yuan. He immediately became excited and said, "Young man, you're very good... very good... Do you have time? If you do, let's find a place to sit down and talk." Liu Xiaohai happily replied, "Of course I have time. I hope it hasn't disturbed your rest." The three of them got into Professor Huang's car and arrived at a beautifully decorated villa-style restaurant. The restaurant manager seemed to know Professor Huang well, and without waiting for his instructions, led the three into an elegant private room. Professor Huang said, "Young man, order whatever you like. It's on me today." Liu Xiaohai hurriedly replied, "How can I? I've troubled you today; it's my treat." Professor Huang frowned and said, "If you're going to be so polite, I won't be talking to you." Liu Xiaohai didn't dare to insist any further and could only take the menu from the head waiter, ordering two dishes at random. Professor Huang took the menu, ordered two more dishes, and then handed the menu to his granddaughter, saying, "This is my granddaughter, Huang Xin'er. She offended me at the hospital earlier; please don't take it to heart." Huang Xin'er retorted, "Grandpa, you said you wouldn't see any pharmaceutical representatives. I stopped him for you; why are you blaming me?" Her big eyes glared fiercely at Liu Xiaohai again.

Professor Huang laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I had a prejudice against this industry. By the way, young man, I don't even know your name yet."

Liu Xiaohai hurriedly handed over his business card and introduced himself.

Professor Huang took the card and asked, "I heard you say earlier that no salesperson is willing to sell this drug. Why are you still doing it, knowing full well that it's not profitable?"

Liu Xiaohai replied, "I already gave my reason: it's a good drug, and patients need it."

Professor Huang said, "I also believe it's a good drug, and it might bring a breakthrough in cancer medicine. However, there are too many drawbacks in the current pharmaceutical market. It won't be easy to promote this drug. Do you think you can do it?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "Although I'm new to this industry, I know it's very difficult, but I have to try. Even if only one patient benefits from using it... " "Recovery is a good thing."

Professor Huang looked at Liu Xiaohai with approval and comforted him, "I'm glad you think this way. I'll help you apply for the medicine at the hospital and recommend it to my old friends at other hospitals. That's all I can do to help you. Don't worry too much about whether it can be successfully promoted or not; after all, you're just a salesperson."

Liu Xiaohai thanked Professor Huang gratefully, but he wasn't worried about the promotion issue because he still had more than a thousand large hospitals under the Long family's umbrella, which was a huge market. However, the medicine still had many flaws; not only was sales a problem, but there were also issues with its use.

Professor Huang said, "Although this medicine is good, in my experience, it still has many shortcomings. Even if doctors are willing to use it... sigh..."

Liu Xiaohai knew what Professor Huang was referring to and sighed, "Yes..."

Professor Huang asked in surprise, "You understand what I'm referring to?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "Are you referring to the fact that this medicine is not only difficult to sell, but also has difficulties in its promotion and use? It is very different from traditional Chinese medicine used as an adjunct therapy in the past, and the patient's entire treatment model needs to be changed accordingly. This requires time to study and verify before the most suitable treatment model can be formulated."

Professor Huang was surprised to hear that what he said was similar to his own thoughts and said, "You... please continue."

Liu Xiaohai said, "Currently, the best method for treating cancer in China is a comprehensive treatment with Western medicine as the main approach and traditional Chinese medicine as an adjunct. Western medicine mainly uses surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, aiming entirely at eliminating tumor lesions and cancer cells, which affects the body's anti-cancer ability and organ function." Often, these treatments cause significant toxic side effects, leaving complications and sequelae for patients. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), however, focuses on protecting and mobilizing the body's anti-cancer abilities, providing supportive treatments that can reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Liu Xiaohai's statement was based on extensive reading and casual conversations with his medical professor, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, about the current state of the medical field. He lacked practical experience and wasn't sure if it was accurate. Seeing Professor Huang's attentive expression, he continued, "But this treatment method isn't widespread enough. There's insufficient communication between TCM and Western medicine, and mutual prejudice makes it difficult to achieve truly planned and rational integrated TCM and Western medicine treatment, greatly reducing its effectiveness."

Professor Huang was increasingly astonished. This young man, who looked no more than 20 years old, was proficient in both TCM and Western medicine, and his analysis was more insightful than that of a cancer expert with decades of experience. He even considered aspects Professor Huang hadn't considered. Professor Huang felt as if he were back in his student days, listening to Professor Huang's lectures; Professor Huang was the real professor.

Seeing that Professor Huang remained silent, Liu Xiaohai cautiously asked, "Professor Huang, I was just talking nonsense, I don't know if it's right or wrong, please don't take offense."

Professor Huang said seriously, "Continue, speak your mind boldly."

Liu Xiaohai said "Oh," and continued, "This 'Baoyi Tablet' is different from other Chinese medicines. It's a treatment model based on Chinese medicine. It can not only effectively kill cancer cells, but also improve the patient's own anti-cancer ability. Combined with the high-tech equipment of Western medicine, I believe it can greatly improve the cancer cure rate, but that's also where the problem lies."

Professor Huang nodded and said: “Continue,”

Liu Xiaohai said. “Western medicine would definitely be difficult for doctors to accept as an adjunct, and few would actively cooperate. But relying solely on traditional Chinese medicine, or on this ‘Baoyi tablet,’ the effect would certainly be minimal because it’s a tablet, which patients have difficulty absorbing well. An oral liquid would be better. Traditional Chinese medicine works slowly, and some patients still require surgery, so combining it with this medication would be ideal.”

Professor Huang sighed after listening, “Looks like I can’t deny getting old. Xiaohai, how old are you this year?”

Liu Xiaohai replied, “17 years old, over… ” "You'll be 18 soon."

Huang Xin'er, who had been sitting silently for a while, suddenly snapped, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? You're only 17 and you called me 'little girl' just now, acting like an adult! Call me 'sister' a few times, or I'll make you regret it!"

Liu Xiaohai wasn't about to call her "sister" and asked, "Are you 18?"

Huang Xin'er retorted, "Sister, I'm also 17. My birthday is in March, so I'm older than you, right?"

Liu Xiaohai's birthday was actually quite young, on New Year's Eve, but young and impetuous, he lied, "You're not as old as me. My birthday is in January, so you should be calling me 'brother.'"

Huang Xin'er hadn't expected... He realized she was lying, and retorted, "I won't call you that. If we count from 500 years ago, I might be your aunt."

Liu Xiaohai blurted out, "I'm your grandfather..."

Suddenly remembering that her grandfather was sitting right next to her, she blushed and explained, "Professor Huang... Professor Huang, I... I..."

Professor Huang was now extremely fond of Liu Xiaohai and didn't care at all. He laughed and said, "You two seem like enemies from a past life. Let's not talk about anything else, let's eat, the food is getting cold."

Chapter 068 Goals

During the meal, Professor Huang saw that Liu Xiaohai was only 17 years old and thought he hadn't gone to university. He expressed his willingness to recommend Liu Xiaohai to study at Shanghai Medical College, believing that he would definitely become a good doctor in the future. Professor Huang himself was a professor at Shanghai Medical College, and as long as Liu Xiaohai could pass the basic exam, admission would not be a problem. He felt it was a real waste for a talent like Liu Xiaohai to become a pharmaceutical representative.

After receiving Professor Huang's affirmation, Liu Xiaohai became very confident. He suddenly found his goal, but it wasn't to become a good doctor. No matter how good a doctor is, they can only benefit a small group of people. He also needed to inherit his grandfather's business; there was no time for being a doctor.

Everyone hopes to have their own career, and Liu Xiaohai was no exception. Previously, when he studied, he simply memorized the knowledge without thinking about how to apply it. These past few days, as he focused his energy on the medicine, he was pleasantly surprised to discover the connection between the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine and spiritual power. The most important principle of traditional Chinese medicine is the human body itself; it's about stimulating the body's own power to fight disease.

However, humanity hasn't truly understood itself yet. Therefore, although traditional Chinese medicine has developed for thousands of years, it only understands some superficial aspects, only using simple interactions of the body's natural processes to treat diseases, unable to truly unleash human potential. But Liu Xiaohai's spiritual power represents human potential. Although he didn't fully understand this power, using it to treat diseases wasn't difficult. If he could find the common ground between spiritual power and traditional Chinese medicine and apply it to the research and manufacturing of traditional Chinese medicine, it would be a revolution in medicine.

At this moment, Liu Xiaohai thought that since God had given him this special ability, he should make good use of it to benefit all mankind. He could turn it into an industry and manage it, while also taking care of the vast business his grandfather had built. Anyway, the Long family had countless businesses, so one more wouldn't matter.

After breaking up with Professor Huang, Liu Xiaohai called his grandfather, told him his thoughts, and asked him to get some information on traditional Chinese medicine from Long's pharmaceutical company. Long's pharmaceutical production technology was supposedly the most advanced in the world. Long Hanhai, hearing that his grandson wanted to start his own business after only one day of work, found it amusing but also expressed his support and readily agreed. Liu Xiaohai then went to various bookstores and bought a huge pile of books on the subject, studying them with great enthusiasm. His enhanced brain was like a living supercomputer, capable of storing up as much knowledge as he could.

For several days, Liu Xiaohai was surrounded by books, having also studied Long Hanhai's materials and visited various university libraries. Fortunately, he had a special physique; others would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago. Professor Huang also brought him good news, informing him that the hospital had agreed to try "Baoyi Tablets" and that they could purchase them immediately.

Normally, the First People's Hospital had to go through the Pharmacist Committee to purchase new drugs, but Professor Huang had never applied for one in many years. The committee members unanimously agreed to make an exception and start the trial, completing the formalities when the next meeting came. Professor Huang also contacted his old friends at other hospitals, giving Liu Xiaohai a few names and telling him to go to them, as they had all agreed to help.

Liu Xiaohai was overjoyed and thanked him profusely. He then rushed back to Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company. The "Baoyi Tablets" hadn't been delivered to Hongbao Pharmaceutical Company's warehouse yet. It would be troublesome if the hospital's purchasing staff went to pick up the goods but found no stock. He had to deliver the goods to Hongbao's warehouse immediately and add them to its drug catalog before supplying them to the hospital.

After hearing Liu Xiaohai's report to the company, Xu Wenshen was shocked and exclaimed, "What? The First People's Hospital has already agreed to stock the drug?"

Liu Xiaohai replied, "Yes, they might come to purchase it today."

Xu Wenshen asked again, somewhat disbelievingly, "You got them to agree to stock the drug in just one day?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "Yes, it's true."

Xu Wenshen asked, "Which doctor helped with the application? Their hospital's pharmacist committee hasn't even convened yet, how could they stock a new drug?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "It was Professor Huang Rulin."

Xu Wenshen suddenly realized, "No wonder it was approved even though it didn't go through the pharmacist committee. Sometimes his words carry more weight than their hospital director's. You're really something, managing to persuade him. Once..." At a pharmaceutical industry gathering, ten of the most difficult doctors to deal with were named, and Professor Huang ranked first. He wouldn't even acknowledge anyone from a pharmaceutical company who approached him.

Liu Xiaohai modestly replied, "It's not that I'm good, it's just that this medicine is good."

Xu Wenshen shook his head, saying, "No, no, I also studied medicine. While this medicine has its outstanding features, it also has many shortcomings. But with my teacher's small factory's capabilities, this is the best they can produce. Your ability to persuade Professor Huang to help is mainly due to your skills."

Liu Xiaohai's heart stirred, and he said, "Mr. Xu, can I meet your teacher? I want to learn more about this product so I can better communicate with doctors in various hospitals in the future."

Actually, he wanted to give the old professor some suggestions to improve the medicine.

Xu Wenshen said, "Sure, I'll give you the address. He's usually at the factory; you can find him when you get there. I'll say hello to him later. If he knows you've helped promote the medicine to the First People's Hospital, he'll definitely want to meet you."

He then wrote down an address and his teacher's name on a piece of paper and handed it to Liu Xiaohai.

Liu Xiaohai took the note and said, "Thank you. I'll go upstairs to Hongbao Pharmaceutical Company to arrange the hospital's drug procurement."

Xu Wenshen said, "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Liu Xiaohai ran upstairs to Manager Li's office and explained his purpose. Manager Li was astonished and even called Xu Wenshen to verify before believing it was true. His attitude towards Liu Xiaohai was no longer as arrogant as before, praising him as a talent and quickly arranging his affairs.

Liu Xiaohai only needed to make the contact; he didn't need to worry about the delivery anymore, as there were specialists at the company. He also needed to find doctors at other hospitals to promote the drug. The doctors Professor Huang had contacted for him were mostly senior professors; without Professor Huang's recommendations, it would have been difficult for him to even meet these people, so he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot. Moreover, these senior professors were extremely busy, with many patients to handle. They only had a little time to see him before they ate or left work, so Liu Xiaohai could only visit a maximum of two hospitals a day, spending most of his time wandering around the hospitals. However, he didn't shy away from visiting patients, understanding their conditions, and conducting his pharmaceutical research.

Because of Professor Huang's recommendation, these senior professors were already psychologically accepting of the drug, and without much persuasion from Liu Xiaohai, they all agreed to help. Two hospitals, like the First People's Hospital, agreed to conduct a small-scale trial, and the others agreed to bring it up for discussion at the pharmacist committee meeting. These senior professors held a prominent position in their respective hospitals, and Liu Xiaohai knew that there wouldn't be any major problems, just a slight delay. There was no need to rush. Through his observations of some cancer patients in the hospitals over the past few days, he had already figured out how to improve the drug. Now he should go to Professor Xu Wenshen as soon as possible to further improve the effects of "Baoyi Tablets".

Following the address given by Xu Wenshen, Liu Xiaohai found the "Yikang Pharmaceutical Factory" in the suburbs of Shanghai. The country has very high environmental requirements for pharmaceutical companies, requiring GMP certification for production, so the factory environment was quite good, although the facilities were somewhat outdated, and there weren't many workers moving around; most of the production workshops were empty.

The office building was a three-story structure. Liu Xiaohai found the manager's office; the door was open, and a thin, elderly man was sitting there working. Liu Xiaohai stood at the door and knocked, saying, "Excuse me, are you Professor Xu Zhiguo?"

The thin old man looked up and said, "Yes, please come in. You must be Mr. Liu Xiaohai?"

It seemed Xu Wenshen had already informed him that Liu Xiaohai was coming.

Liu Xiaohai entered the office and said, "You can just call me Xiaohai."

Xu Zhiguo was quite friendly to Liu Xiaohai, inviting him to sit down and personally making him a cup of tea. Sitting beside him, Xu said, "I heard you got 'Baoyi Tablets' into the First People's Hospital. I really don't know how to thank you."

Wanting to make the old man happier, Liu Xiaohai said, "Xinhua Hospital and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital have also received the drug. Other hospitals are also very likely to receive it once the pharmacists' committee approves it."

Xu Zhiguo smiled and nodded, but wasn't as happy as expected; instead, he sighed softly.

Liu Xiaohai continued, "I came today to learn from you, and to offer some suggestions on drug production."

He was embarrassed to directly ask Xu Zhiguo to improve the formula, after all, he was a senior professor, and he was just a 17-year-old salesman.

Xu Zhiguo said, "I know the current production process is terrible. It's not that I don't want to change it, but the factory doesn't have the funds to replace the equipment, so we can only use the old equipment to produce tablets."

Liu Xiaohai pondered for a while, thinking that he had to say something anyway, so he told Xu Zhiguo in detail the improved formula ratio and the improved drug extraction plan, and then said, "I might be able to help you with the funding. I believe that after the improvement, the effect will be better, and it will definitely be successful. I will also do my best in sales."

Xu Zhiguo was more and more moved as he listened, and asked, "How many years have you studied traditional Chinese medicine?"

Liu Xiaohai blushed and said, "I had a teacher who taught me for half a year before, and later I read a lot of books on my own."

Xu Zhiguo exclaimed, "You are truly a genius. These suggestions are very good, but we need to test the medicinal properties to know the effect. It is already very difficult for you to think of these."

Unlike Liu Xiaohai, he did not have the spiritual power to understand the essence of the human body, so of course he could not judge whether the improved medicine would be effective.

Liu Xiaohai said, "Of course, that's why I came to see you today, to see if my suggestions can help you."

Xu Zhiguo said, "Thank you, but if we do as you say, it won't be the original 'Baoyi Tablets' anymore; it will be a different medicine. I can't take your results for myself, and besides, it's too late now, alas." Seeing him sigh repeatedly, Liu Xiaohai asked in confusion, "Professor Xu, is there something else on your mind?"

Xu Zhiguo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I should have told you this. You should have seen it when you came in. Everyone in the factory is gone. I've laid off all the workers. This factory is finished, and 'Baoyi Pian' will never be made again. I

'm sorry, all your efforts these past few days have been wasted." Liu Xiaohai was surprised by this turn of events and asked, "Why?"

Xu Zhiguo said, "This factory has gone bankrupt. Xiao Xu is right. Someone like me isn't suited to running a business. The bank will be coming to seize it in the next few days."

Liu Xiaohai asked, "Is there no way to save it?"

Xu Zhiguo said, "Unless you sell the factory, but who would buy a dilapidated factory with tens of millions in debt and hardly any assets? Buying it is worse than starting a new factory."

Chapter 69 Buying the Pharmaceutical Factory Liu

Xiaohai, realizing it was about money, was about to reassure Xu Zhiguo when a group of workers rushed in. The older worker leading them said, "Director Xu, you've given us the last bit of money the factory has left. What will happen to the factory?"

Xu Zhiguo replied, "You don't need to worry about that. You've all followed me for years, and I haven't brought you any benefits. In fact, I've caused you to lose your jobs. It's my incompetence; I'm sorry. This is all the money the factory has left. I hope you won't think it's too little."

The workers became emotional, all saying they didn't want the money and were willing to weather the storm with Xu Zhiguo. Liu Xiaohai observed them closely and noticed that many of them were disabled.

Xu Zhiguo's eyes reddened with emotion, and he shouted, "If there's still a chance for this factory, I won't give up. But the bank will come and seize it in a few days. Even if you don't take this money, it will be confiscated to pay off your debts. So there's no need to say anything more, just go home."

But the workers still refused to leave, talking all at once. The scene moved Liu Xiaohai, who couldn't help but step forward and say, "Professor Xu, I can help you find a way to get the money..."

Xu Zhiguo glanced at him, said thank you, but didn't seem to take it seriously, and went to persuade the workers again.

Liu Xiaohai said again, "Professor Xu, I'm serious."

Xu Zhiguo turned around and said, "No need, I've given up. Even if I can borrow money to pay off the debt, this factory will still have to close down sooner or later." Liu Xiaohai thought to himself that this old man was really stubborn. After probing him with his mental sense, he said, "How much are you willing to sell this factory for? I'll buy it."

Xu Zhiguo was stunned and said, "You...you're buying it? Don't joke around. This factory is currently a negative asset..."

Liu Xiaohai already understood his temper and said directly, "Don't worry about that, I'm going to buy it."

Xu Zhiguo said, "I won't sell it. Selling it to you would be like harming you."

Liu Xiaohai said, "You have to sell it. You may not think about yourself, but look at these workers. They are not young anymore, and many of them are disabled. Who will want them after this factory closes down? How will they live in the future?"

He already knew that Xu Zhiguo's biggest worry was not himself, but these workers.

Xu Zhiguo was indeed speechless, saying, "But...but this factory..."

Liu Xiaohai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the factory's debt is nothing to me. You'll understand in the future.

Name your price." Xu Zhiguo hesitated for a long time, then looked at the workers and sighed, "This factory already has millions in negative assets. What price are you asking for? If you're really willing to take it over, then...then it's yours. If I can turn things around in the future, I'll compensate you."

Seeing that he agreed, Liu Xiaohai didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Okay, but I have another condition."

Xu Zhiguo asked in surprise, "What condition?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "I want you to stay in the factory and be in charge of production. I don't know anything about this. You don't want to see me go bankrupt, do you?"

Liu Xiaohai knew that although he could use his mental power to understand the human body and develop the most suitable medicine for patients, it was only academic. He had no experience in how to actually make the medicine. How could he let go of someone as experienced and upright as Xu Zhiguo?

Xu Zhiguo readily agreed. He could tell from Liu Xiaohai's tone that he intended to keep the workers, which was a huge help to him. He wanted to contribute as well. Although he lacked business acumen, leading to the factory's near bankruptcy, he was confident in his production capabilities.

Liu Xiaohai, worried Xu might change his mind, persuaded the workers to leave and return the next day. Then, he and Xu Zhiguo went to the management department to transfer the factory to Liu Xiaohai. Although Liu Xiaohai's identity was fake, his ID card was genuine, issued by the Ministry of National Defense. Therefore, the factory could be transferred to Liu Xiaohai's identity, and the factory's name was changed to "Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company." When Liu Xiaohai was in school, his family opened a bank account for him with 10 million yuan in cash as pocket money, which he hadn't used much. Currently, there was still over 9.98 million yuan in the account. He wanted to see if he could save the company without going home and asking for more money. He and Xu Zhiguo went to the bank where the company owed money, requesting that they pay off over 2 million yuan in interest and part of the loan first.

After discussion, the bank agreed that they should pay off the interest first, then repay the 5 million loan, and give them another year to repay the remaining 3 million loan. This would not be a loss for the bank. If the company were confiscated and auctioned off, it would be questionable whether it could be sold for more than 7 million. Of course, they hoped that the company could repay the money.

After paying back the money, Liu Xiaohai had 2.83 million yuan left. He transferred the 2.8 million yuan to the company account and asked Xu Zhiguo to resume production first. He would continue to work as a salesman for Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company to open up the sales channels for "Baoyi Tablets". He also asked Xu Zhiguo to improve "Baoyi Tablets" according to his suggestions. However, if the formula was changed, it would be a different drug. If it wanted to be sold on the market, it would have to be approved by the pharmaceutical administration department again. Therefore, at present, only the old "Baoyi Tablets" could be produced and sold. Of course, the company could not rely on just one drug if it wanted to develop. Moreover, the price of "Baoyi Tablets" was too low, so it would not make money. Liu Xiaohai carefully reviewed the company's previous business projects. There were many products, but they had all been discontinued. He could not find any good products among them. So he wrote down a few formulas and processing and refining methods that he had just designed for Xu Zhiguo.

Xu Zhiguo looked at them with surprise and said, "These...these are health food products."

Liu Xiaohai smiled and said, "That's right. I see that our company already has the right to produce and sell health food products, so we might as well produce a few first. Developing new drugs takes too long and the approval process is complicated. We don't have that much time."

Xu Zhiguo said, "But now health food products rely entirely on advertising, which is extremely expensive. The current health food market has been almost completely suppressed by a few large groups, leaving no room for survival. These health food products you wrote about compete with some of those large groups' products. How can we compete with them..."

Liu Xiaohai said, "It doesn't matter. They rely on advertising, we rely on effectiveness. I believe these products are competitive."

Xu Zhiguo didn't say anything more. He also trusted Liu Xiaohai's sales ability. However, after looking at these formulas, he didn't see anything special about them. However, the processing and extraction methods were a bit different from what he knew before.

Liu Xiaohai said, "Let's develop that weight-loss health food first. We can talk about the others when we have more money. This weight-loss product is fast-acting, and the company's production equipment can start producing it immediately without spending too much money."

************************************************************** Hirota Junko looked at her forehead in the mirror. There was still a slight bluish tinge, but it was barely noticeable unless you looked closely. She let out a long sigh. These past few days, Hirota Junko had been hiding in Guanghai Hospital, hardly stepping outside.

A man in black rushed into the office and said, "Miss, we...we found him."

Hirota Junko asked, "Where?"

The man in black said with a strange expression, "In the hospital..."

Hirota Junko stood up in surprise and asked, "He's in Guanghai Hospital?"

The man in black said, "Yes, with Director Zhang in internal medicine."

Hirota Junko asked in astonishment, "What's he doing in internal medicine? Is he sick?"

The man in black said, "No, it seems he's here to sell medicine."

Hirota Junko was taken aback, then laughed, "Great! I didn't expect a top student from Fujin to become a pharmaceutical representative, practically offering himself up..."

She picked up the hospital's internal phone, dialed the internal medicine department, and said, "Have Director Zhang answer the phone..."

Chapter 70 Soul-Stirring Number Six.

Hirota Junko put down the phone and said to the man in black, "After he comes in, have a few people stand guard outside. If he tries to run out, catch him, understand?"

The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, sir!

" The door to the room opened, and Mitsui Sakurako, dressed in a blue suit, walked in. Hirota Junko said, "Cousin, what brings you here today?"

Mitsui Sakurako replied calmly, "Having received your money, of course I have to give you the club. I'm here to deliver the contract."

Hirota Junko laughed, "Do you think I wouldn't trust you, cousin? There's no need to be in such a hurry. But you've come at just the right time. Watch how I deal with that brat later."

Last time, Mitsui Sakurako witnessed her indecent assault, and Hirota Junko wanted to regain her face in front of Mitsui Sakurako.

Sakurako Mitsui's heart skipped a beat. "Who...that Liu...Liu Xiaohai?" she asked.

Junko Hirota, oblivious to Sakurako's expression, said bitterly, "Who else could it be but that brat?"

Sakurako composed herself and asked, "You captured him?"

Junko laughed, "That brat delivered himself to our doorstep, haha...that brat actually became a pharmaceutical representative, coming here to sell drugs. Cousin, go wait in the next room and watch the show. Today, let him taste the power of the family's newly developed 'Soul-Destroying No. 6'."

She then took a small bottle from a drawer.

Sakurako's heart skipped a beat again. She took a contract from her bag and threw it on the desk, saying, "I don't want to see this filthy stuff. This is the contract. I'm leaving now."

Suppressing her discomfort, she turned and walked out.

Mitsui Sakurako, of course, knew what "Soul-Stealing No. 6" was. It was an aphrodisiac developed by the Hirota family over many years with enormous financial and material resources. From No. 1 to No. 6, each generation was more potent than the last, capable of stimulating a person's sexual desire to its peak, causing them to lose self-control. Moreover, if they couldn't find someone to release their lust, it would cause severe damage to their body. She was certain that once Liu Xiaohai took this drug, he wouldn't be able to escape Hirota Junko's grasp.

Liu Xiaohai had left an extremely good impression on her, so good that she couldn't forget him, and she even often dreamed of him. But she had no reason to stop Hirota Junko, and she didn't want to stay here and watch Liu Xiaohai and Hirota Junko commit that sordid act. Mitsui Sakurako returned to her car and started it, but her foot on the accelerator wouldn't press down, and she was extremely conflicted.

Mitsui Sakurako had a strange feeling. She couldn't believe Liu Xiaohai would be so easily conquered by Hirota Junko, but how could that be...? Unless he hadn't taken the aphrodisiac. If he had taken "Soul-Stealing No. 6," he wouldn't have any self-control. If he had a sexual relationship with Hirota Junko, she would definitely use every means to make Liu Xiaohai submit. She knew men too well; no matter if you were good or bad, they would always find a way to deal with you...

But Mitsui Sakurako still felt that Liu Xiaohai wouldn't give in so easily, blindly believing that the boy could escape the combined power of beauty and drugs. But... ten minutes passed... fifteen minutes passed... and he still hadn't come down. Could it be...?

Mitsui Sakurako felt she was about to collapse. She couldn't control herself anymore; she wanted to rush up and rescue the boy who didn't even recognize her. Just then, several shouts were heard from inside the building, followed by a man running out. His clothes were open, exposing his chest and lower abdomen, and he was pulling up his pants. It was Liu Xiaohai, with someone chasing after him…

Liu Xiaohai had been passing by on a bus and, seeing such a large hospital, had run in to see if he could sell his medicine. After browsing through the internal medicine department, he thought one of the chief physicians seemed decent. Seeing that the doctor's introduction at the entrance indicated his surname was Zhang, he went inside.

Guanghai Hospital was designed for the wealthy, with extremely high fees and "special" services from Japanese nurses in the wards, so there weren't many patients, unlike other large hospitals where you had to wait during off-hours to see a doctor. After learning Liu Xiaohai's purpose, Director Zhang glanced at the information on "Baoyi Tablets" and said, "We are a foreign-invested hospital. The decision to purchase drugs requires a representative of the investor."

Liu Xiaohai thought this was even better; such hospitals usually don't accept kickbacks and focus more on medical efficacy and competitiveness. Just as he was about to inquire about the hospital's investors, a nurse ran in and said, "Director Zhang, there's a phone call for you. They want you to come outside to answer it."

Director Zhang apologized, got up, and went out. Liu Xiaohai quickly said it was alright and sat down to wait. A moment later, Director Zhang returned and, before Liu Xiaohai could ask, said, "The hospital's supervisor is in his office upstairs and wants you to come up and talk." Liu Xiaohai asked curiously

, "How did he know I was here to promote the drug?"

Director Zhang paused, then explained, "Oh… I just reported your situation, so I want you to come to the office in person."

Liu Xiaohai was overjoyed at Director Zhang's help and thanked him profusely. After asking for the office's location, he didn't dare delay and went there. After knocking, a voice inside said, "Come in." Liu Xiaohai opened the door and went in, thinking the voice sounded familiar. He then saw Hirota Junko's charming smiling face looking at him.

Liu Xiaohai exclaimed, "Miss...Miss Junko, what are you doing...here?"

He felt extremely embarrassed, remembering the scene in the restaurant's private room where Hirota Junko had tried to hug him and he had fled in panic.

Hirota Junko laughed, "This hospital is mine. I haven't even asked you why you're here, and you're asking me instead. How ridiculous."

Liu Xiaohai said, "I'm here to sell...sell medicine."

Hirota Junko took a cup, poured some water, and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. She said, "Sit down and have some water. You're not trying to run away again, are you? Don't worry, I won't eat you."

To be honest, Liu Xiaohai really wanted to run away, but hearing Hirota Junko say it so directly, he felt embarrassed to do so. He sat down awkwardly and said, "Last time...last time I really had something to do. I'm sorry."

Hirota Junko smiled and sat down next to Liu Xiaohai, saying, "I already know about last time ..." "I forgot, being a pharmaceutical representative is tough. Have some water and rest first, then we can talk slowly. If your medicine is truly good, I might consider stocking it."

Liu Xiaohai's throat was dry with nervousness. He picked up the glass of water, took a sip, and handed the medicine information to Hirota Junko, saying, "This is the medicine I sell. Please take a look."

Hirota Junko took the information and slowly flipped through it, glancing at Liu Xiaohai's reaction from time to time. She had doubled the amount of "Soul-Stealing No. 6" in Liu Xiaohai's glass, waiting for the drug to take effect so he could "molest" her. She had already set up a recording device, intending to use it to blackmail him after he finished, threatening to accuse him of rape if he didn't comply.

Liu Xiaohai already felt unusually hot. He picked up the glass and drank the rest of the water in one gulp, but it had no effect; instead, he felt even hotter, his heart was beating faster, and sweat was gradually forming on his forehead.

After waiting a few minutes, Hirota Junko also felt strange. Logically, Liu Xiaohai should have already lost control, so why hadn't he started "molesting" her yet? Seeing the sweat on his forehead, indicating the drug was taking effect, she softly asked, "Are you feeling a little hot?"

Liu Xiaohai was struggling internally, trying to suppress his lust. Hearing Hirota Junko's seductive voice, he almost lost control. He had lost his analytical abilities and was only holding himself together with a sliver of willpower. He stood up and said, "I...I...feel a little...uncomfortable. I'll go now...I'll...I'll visit again next time."

Hirota Junko couldn't believe he could even say he wanted to leave. She wasn't about to let him go, and regardless of whether she could accuse him of rape, she pulled Liu Xiaohai back to the sofa, pounced on him, and held him in her arms, further arousing his desire.

Liu Xiaohai felt a sudden, intense surge of heat, as if a fire had engulfed his entire body. He allowed Hirota Junko to unbutton his clothes, pull off his belt and toss it aside, and then pull his pants down to his ankles.

Hirota Junko wanted to ignite Liu Xiaohai's last remaining desire, so that he would "molest" her. She could use this to blackmail him if she cut out the earlier parts of the video where he had taken the initiative. She was also surprised by the strength of Liu Xiaohai's genitals, and she held them with obvious affection, bending down to put them in her mouth, simultaneously using the seductive techniques she had honed over the years.

The most important aspect of seductive techniques is not to get emotional; once you do, you are likely to be controlled by the other person. But this technique also made Liu Xiaohai's senses register, greatly reducing his desire and causing him to feel a surge of restlessness. This was equivalent to helping Liu Xiaohai regain a moment of clarity.

Seeing Hirota Junko kneeling on his waist, sucking and manipulating his genitals, and feeling weak all over, Liu Xiaohai immediately realized that he had been drugged.

Hirota Junko's tight lips gave Liu Xiaohai a pleasant feeling, but this was not the time to enjoy it. Suppressing his burning desire, he gritted his teeth, pushed Hirota Junko away, pulled up his pants, and ran outside. Due to the drug's effects, he felt like he was drunk, stumbling and weak all over.

Hirota Junko, not expecting him to push her away, lost her footing and fell with a thud, hitting her forehead on the corner of the coffee table, raising a large bump. Turning around and seeing Liu Xiaohai running out, she angrily shouted to her men outside, "Quick...quick, catch him!"

Seeing several men in black surrounding him, Liu Xiaohai freed one hand and used his remaining strength to use a grappling technique to knock down two of them. He broke through the encirclement and ran towards the downstairs door, with the remaining men in black giving chase.

Liu Xiaohai, pulling up his pants, stumbled out of the building. The drug's effects kicked in again, his legs felt weak, and he could run no more. The men in black behind him were getting closer and closer. Just as he was wondering what to do, a car sped up in front of him, and a person inside screamed, "Liu Xiaohai... get in the car... quick!"

Liu Xiaohai didn't have time to think, opened the car door and jumped in. The person stepped on the gas, a puff of smoke rose from the back of the car, and it sped out of the hospital. Several men in black arrived just in time, but could only watch the car drive away.

Chapter 71 The Ultimate Antidote

Hirota Junko, clutching a large bump on her forehead, grabbed a stack of documents from the table and slammed them at the face of the first man in black, yelling, "A bunch of useless trash! He's already taken 'Soul-Destroying No. 6,' how could he possibly get far? He managed to escape..."

The man hesitated before explaining, "He... he got into Miss Sakura's car."

Hirota Junko exclaimed, "What... say it again."

The man in black said, "He got into Miss Sakura's car, and Miss Sakura rescued him."

Hirota Junko angrily picked up the phone to call Mitsui Sakura, but it was switched off. Furious, she slammed the phone down, saying, "Take more men, go to her house and bring that kid back."

The man in black said, "Hey!"

and was about to leave.

Hirota Junko shouted, "Come back... Forget it, since she did this, she definitely won't go home. Maybe she's already moved." In her rage, she swept everything off the table, slumped back into her chair, her chest heaving violently, clearly furious.

****************************************************** Liu Xiaohai had never met Mitsui Sakurako before, nor did he know why this beautiful woman had asked him to get in the car and rescue him. He noticed the stranger's smiling face, seemingly very happy. Liu Xiaohai dared not look at her too much; she was too beautiful, and the unfamiliarity only fueled his burning lust.

Liu Xiaohai tried desperately to control himself, repeatedly biting his tongue to stay awake, but it was almost useless. He then opened the car window and stuck his head out, letting the cold autumn wind help him clear his head.

Mitsui Sakurako, of course, could tell that Liu Xiaohai had been drugged by Hirota Junko's "Soul-Stealing No. 6." She was overjoyed that Liu Xiaohai had endured the drug's torment and escaped from the hospital. Although the way he pulled up his pants at the time was somewhat comical, in her eyes, he was so charming and adorable.

She knew Liu Xiaohai's actions were to sober her up, and couldn't help but say with concern, "You...you'll catch a cold." Liu Xiaohai gritted his teeth and said, "Let me out of the car. I can't sit next to you."

Of course, he was too embarrassed to say that he had been drugged with a potent aphrodisiac, and if he didn't leave, he might do something harmful to her; he had already endured immense suffering. But Mitsui Sakurako understood his meaning, and her heart trembled even more. Ignoring his request, she sped up and drove towards her newly purchased residence.

Hirota Junko's guess was correct. After transferring the club to her, Mitsui Sakurako planned to cut off all ties with the Hirota family and start her own new life, so she sold her old house at a low price and found a new one. When they arrived home, Liu Xiaohai, due to the strain of enduring the cold wind, had already fainted.

Mitsui Sakurako got out of the car, went to the other side, carried Liu Xiaohai out, put him in the bedroom, placed him on the bed, and then used hot water to wipe his face. She didn't know what to do next. She knew that to dispel "Soul-Destroying Number Six," someone had to have sex with him, but he didn't even know her. Would offering herself to him make him look down on her...?

Although Liu Xiaohai already held a large place in Mitsui Sakura's heart, she hadn't considered possessing him. She felt she was much older than him and unworthy of him. She wanted to find a man similar to Liu Xiaohai to grow old with. She had been to some social gatherings, but hadn't found anyone who could replace even a tenth of Liu Xiaohai.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Liu Xiaohai's mouth. Mitsui Sakura was shocked and pried open his mouth, only to see him biting his tongue so hard it had bled. This made her extremely grateful. She hadn't expected him to torture himself like this to avoid violating her. Her heart was in turmoil, and she could no longer think of anything else, embracing Liu Xiaohai.

Liu Xiaohai had regained consciousness, his last vestiges of awareness completely banished by Mitsui Sakura's embrace. He flipped her over, pinning her beneath him, frantically tearing off her clothes. He could no longer restrain himself, even penetrating her still-unwet private parts without any advance. Mitsui Sakura, still a virgin, couldn't withstand it and let out a scream.

But the scream didn't soften Liu Xiaohai's grip; instead, it fueled his frenzy, thrusting with all his might. Mitsui Sakura could only grit her teeth and endure, the physical pain unable to conceal the ecstasy in her heart. Tears of bliss streamed down her face. After a long while, whether from numbness or excitement, the pain gradually disappeared, replaced by waves of wondrous pleasure, causing her to moan involuntarily and actively respond...

"Oh... um... ah..."

Mitsui Sakura swayed her hips, enduring the man's enormous penis thrusting in and out of her, moaning with bliss.

Liu Xiaohai, aroused by the aphrodisiac, felt a surge of lust. Only when he felt his penis enter the warm opening did he feel some relief, but he needed to thrust rapidly to quell the burning desire.

The sounds of "slap slap" continued as Liu Xiaohai frantically released his pent-up desire, passionately kissing Mitsui Sakura.

Their tongues intertwined, and Mitsui Sakura, no longer in so much pain, also tasted the exquisite pleasure of lovemaking. Her legs wrapped around Liu Xiaohai's waist, thrusting upwards.

"Mmm... Xiaohai... faster... fuck me to death... my pussy is so full... yours is so big... mmm..."

Liu Xiaohai couldn't hear her moans, only knowing to thrust his hips up and down, releasing his lust within that tight opening.

After dozens, hundreds of thrusts, Mitsui Sakura trembled, experiencing her first orgasm, but Liu Xiaohai didn't ejaculate; instead, he continued his relentless assault.

"Oh...oh...it feels so good...ah...I'm flying...I'm flying again..."

Under the ecstatic moans of Mitsui Sakurako and the suction of her vagina, Liu Xiaohai also reached his climax.

Finally, a violent tremor ran through him, his pent-up desire erupting, and he fainted, collapsing onto Mitsui Sakurako. Mitsui Sakurako, having lost count of how many orgasms she had experienced, was utterly exhausted. She didn't push Liu Xiaohai away, but instead held him and fell into a deep sleep.

After a long while, Liu Xiaohai slowly awoke. The scene before him shocked him. He quickly jumped away and saw a pool of blood on the muddy sheets beneath the unfamiliar beauty. He knew what he had done to her, and felt both ashamed and anxious.

Mitsui Sakurako was also awakened by his actions. Seeing him staring blankly at her genitals, she quickly sat up, covering herself with her hands, her face flushed with embarrassment. "You...you're awake,"

she said. Liu Xiaohai's face was even redder than hers. "I'm sorry...I...I didn't mean it," he said.

Hearing Liu Xiaohai's apology, Mitsui Sakurako felt a pang of sadness. She said calmly, "It's nothing. I did it willingly. You don't need to take responsibility."

Liu Xiaohai hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. I was drugged...but I..."

Mitsui Sakurako said, "I know. I'm Hirota Junko's cousin."

Liu Xiaohai's heart skipped a beat. Was this another trap set by Hirota Junko? However, upon testing his intuition, he discovered that the beautiful woman before him harbored deep feelings for him, as if these feelings had persisted for more than just a day. Yet, he had never seen her before. Puzzled, he asked, "Have we met before?"

Mitsui Sakura didn't understand why he asked this, but she didn't hide anything. She recounted seeing Liu Xiaohai on the security camera at the club that day, and assured him not to worry. She assured him that she had severed ties with the Hirota family and wouldn't use today's events to blackmail him; she had simply happened to be passing by the hospital and had rescued him.

Liu Xiaohai never imagined that his pathetic escape from the club that day would lead this beautiful woman to fall deeply in love with him and, under his influence, break away from the Hirota family. Although he didn't have much affection for the Japanese, his intuition told him that this beautiful woman's inner world was completely different from other Japanese people. Moreover, her upbringing in a family like the Hirota family made her even more remarkable. He sat down beside her and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Thank you."

Mitsui Sakurako was stunned and asked, "Thank me for what?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "Thank you for saving me today, and... and for helping me get rid of... the drug."

Mitsui Sakurako said, "No need. It was our family that gave you the drug. As long as you don't blame me, that's enough."

Liu Xiaohai shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with you. You're different from them. Besides, you've already left the Hirota family. How can I blame you?"

Seeing how much Liu Xiaohai trusted her, Mitsui Sakurako was overjoyed and hugged him back. Little did she know that Liu Xiaohai's intuition could tell whether she was sincere or not. She asked, "I heard from Junko that you already have a girlfriend. I know you're not the kind of person who's fickle, so you don't need to worry about me. I won't make you take responsibility."

Although she said this, her tone was clearly sour.

Liu Xiaohai didn't want to hide it from her, and awkwardly said, "Actually...actually, I have six girlfriends..."

Mitsui Sakura was shocked, her eyes widening as she exclaimed, "You...you're actually this kind of person! You're so fickle!"

Mitsui Sakura liked Liu Xiaohai because she thought he was a good man, but she couldn't believe he was juggling six relationships. How could she accept such a fact?

Liu Xiaohai explained, "I don't know why, but if someone truly likes me, I can't help but like them back."

Mitsui Sakura angrily said, "Aren't you afraid they'll be heartbroken when they find out? Can you hide this from them forever?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "They already knew. Actually, they asked for it themselves."

Mitsui Sakura trembled, "They...they were willing? This...this...how is that possible?"

She couldn't believe that this man, who wasn't tempted by beauty and would rather harm himself than hurt her under the influence of a potent aphrodisiac, actually had six girlfriends. She was so angry she wanted to tell him to get lost, but the words wouldn't come out. Between anger and anxiety, she burst into tears.

Liu Xiaohai gently stroked her hair and said softly, "I know what I did was wrong, but I didn't want any of them to be hurt, so I had to do it this way. I don't want you to be hurt either. If you're willing, I'll take full responsibility."

He already knew that Mitsui Sakurako loved him deeply, so he spoke his mind directly.

Mitsui Sakurako couldn't accept it at first, but her love for him didn't diminish at all; on the contrary, it grew stronger. She threw herself into his arms and cried, "I...I didn't know."

Responding to his love, Liu Xiaohai didn't explain anything further. If it were anyone else, Liu Xiaohai might have let her decide for herself, but Mitsui Sakurako had already offended the Hirota family by taking him away from the hospital today. Judging from Hirota Junko's actions towards him, she was a narrow-minded person, and it was inevitable that she would cause trouble for Mitsui Sakurako in the future. Therefore, Liu Xiaohai wanted to keep her by his side. So he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. A powerful surge of love overwhelmed Mitsui Sakurako, and she immediately lost control, responding passionately.

Although Liu Xiaohai had already been with Mitsui Sakurako, under the influence of the drug, his mind was blank, and he felt no pleasure whatsoever. Of course, he wanted to experience it again, so he used his unique skill to arouse Mitsui Sakurako's desire, laying her down on the bed...

Reaching between her legs, Liu Xiaohai looked at Mitsui Sakurako's pink vulva, still slightly swollen, but already leaking vaginal fluid. This time, Liu Xiaohai was much gentler, guiding his penis and slowly penetrating deeper.

"Oh... um..."

Mitsui Sakurako softly moaned in satisfaction.

Liu Xiaohai slowly moved his hips, beginning a new round of conquest, watching his penis move in and out of her vulva, Liu Xiaohai's heart pounding with excitement.

This time, Mitsui Sakurako felt no pain... only pleasure...

Chapter 72: The Wheel Battle.

Mitsui Sakurako never imagined that the good man she admired would be so "womanizing," and that she had been conquered by this "womanizing" man. Her mind was blank; she only wanted to stay by his side, even if he abandoned her in the future. This man, despite admitting to having six girlfriends, still gave off such a pure and sincere feeling. At Liu Xiaohai's suggestion, Mitsui Sakura drove with him to Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company. Liu Xiaohai thought the company had a nice environment and was relatively secluded, so he wanted her to stay there for safety.

Liu Xiaohai had called ahead to have a room prepared. When they arrived, the room was already furnished, right next to Liu Xiaohai's office. Although small, it was fairly well-equipped. The company was located in the suburbs, in a beautiful area, which Mitsui Sakura liked very much.

Xu Zhiguo, though not very business-savvy, had many connections from his years as a professor. The weight-loss product had already passed health department approval and could be produced and sold. Production wasn't a problem; the company's existing equipment could start production immediately. Sales were the first step. Liu Xiaohai was confident in the product's effectiveness, but it was extremely difficult for a completely unknown product to penetrate the market.

The market is flooded with health supplements and advertisements everywhere. Competing solely on advertising isn't enough; the company only has a little over 2 million yuan in capital. Even if they poured it all into advertising, it would be a complete waste. Getting into large supermarkets also incurs entry fees, tens of thousands of yuan per product. Liu Xiaohai and Xu Zhiguo discussed it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Mitsui Sakura, seeing them discussing work, didn't want to interrupt, but seeing Liu Xiaohai's distress, she couldn't help but say, "I have money; take it if you need it."

Liu Xiaohai, of course, refused. He wanted to run the company well on his own; if he really needed money, it would be easier to get it from home. Even if he lost hundreds of billions, his grandfather wouldn't care. He politely declined.

Seeing that he wouldn't take her money, Mitsui Sakura thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."

Liu Xiaohai asked, "What idea? Tell me."

Mitsui Sakura said, "From what you just said, are you very confident in the product's effectiveness?"

Liu Xiaohai nodded and said, "I can guarantee that. There will definitely be noticeable results within a week, and there are no side effects."

Mitsui Sakurako said, "Then find a busy store or street, rent a spot, and give away the product. There are so many weight loss products now that people don't know which one to buy, and none of them are truly effective. People have started to distrust advertising and are afraid of wasting money, but if it's given away for free, they will definitely be willing to try it."

Xu Zhiguo asked doubtfully, "Will giving it away be effective?"

Mitsui Sakurako said, "I don't know, it depends on the weight loss effect."

Of course, Liu Xiaohai was the most confident in the product, and he said happily, "This method will definitely work. I agree to do it this way. I've been paying attention these past few days, and many people suffering from obesity..." People have formed their own organizations, and there are many such websites online. As soon as someone experiences positive results, word spreads quickly, which is much better than advertising on TV. Thank you, Sakurako.”

Mitsui Sakurako was happy that her suggestion was accepted and smiled, “You’re being so polite with me.”

Liu Xiaohai’s heart stirred and he said, “Sakurako, you’re better at management than us. Why don’t you stay in the company and help me?”

Xu Zhiguo also wanted someone to help him come up with ideas, so he also asked Mitsui Sakurako. Mitsui Sakurako had been in management for many years and was confident in this area. She smiled and nodded. She also hoped to help Liu Xiaohai. Besides, she had been a little bored these days because she suddenly had nothing to do.

Liu Xiaohai was overjoyed and immediately appointed Mitsui Sakurako as Xu Zhiguo’s deputy, in charge of the company’s sales. Xu Zhiguo wanted to be the deputy himself, but Sakurako and Liu Xiaohai disagreed. Xu Zhiguo knew they respected him, so he didn’t say anything more. He just needed to do a good job with the product.

The three men became increasingly engrossed in their work conversation, and before they knew it, it was dark. Xu Zhiguo invited them to his home for dinner. He had already moved next to the company, and his wife was temporarily away with their children. Mitsui Sakurako offered to cook some Japanese dishes for them to try, but the ingredients and tools at Xu Zhiguo's house could only produce a somewhat awkward "Sino-Japanese fusion" of dishes, though the taste was still quite good, and Liu Xiaohai and Xu Zhiguo praised it highly.

During dinner, the three continued to discuss work. The product name, required for approval, had been chosen: "Ruyan" capsules. This was the name given by the scholarly Xu Zhiguo, implying that consuming the product would make one as light as a swallow. Although not particularly catchy, it was simple and easy to remember.

The price hadn't yet been approved by the price bureau, and they hadn't decided on it themselves. The total cost of the product was approximately 5 RMB per box, and Xu Zhiguo felt that a factory price of 8 RMB was appropriate. After adding the profits of distributors and stores, the retail price would be around 15 RMB. Liu Xiaohai had no objections; he wasn't in it for profit, but rather to benefit society.

Mitsui Sakurako objected to the price, proposing a price ten times higher than Xu Zhiguo's. Xu Zhiguo and Liu Xiaohai were stunned, saying it was too much of a rip-off.

Mitsui Sakurako said, "It's not. Internationally renowned weight-loss products are priced around this level. If no one wants our product, that's fine, but if it's truly effective, such a low price will inevitably provoke resentment from other companies, who might even resort to unfair means against us. Also, with such a small profit margin, distributors won't be motivated."

Liu Xiaohai said, "But with this pricing, consumers are wasting money."

Mitsui Sakurako shook her head, saying, "Health products and medicines are technological products. The most important costs are knowledge and technology, not the 5 yuan you're talking about." "Production costs are high, and most consumers of weight-loss products are affluent people. If you want to benefit society, you can wait until you make money before helping those who truly need it."

Liu Xiaohai recalled his grandfather, Long Hanhai, saying that the first priority in doing business is to make money, the more the better. If you're thinking about helping others, you won't make money. Only after you've made money can you help others. This was similar to what Mitsui Sakura meant, so he immediately agreed with her. However, he still felt that ten times the price was too much. After discussing it with Xu Zhiguo, they set the ex-factory price at 65 yuan and the retail price at 98 yuan.

Mitsui Sakura found the old man and the young man both amusing and exasperating. It was the first time she had seen someone who was afraid of making too much money while running a company. But she found Liu Xiaohai even more endearing.

Regarding the location for the large giveaway, Liu Xiaohai was unfamiliar with Shanghai and couldn't offer any suggestions. Xu Zhiguo suggested Nanjing Road, where there were the most people. Mitsui Sakura thought Huaihai Road would be better. Although Nanjing Road had many people, most of them were from out of town. The company should focus its sales efforts on Shanghai first to reduce sales costs. Xu Zhiguo completely agreed, realizing he hadn't considered everything comprehensively, and began to admire Mitsui Sakura's meticulousness.

When discussing the quantity to give away, Liu Xiaohai and Xu Zhiguo simply remained silent, looking expectantly at Mitsui Sakura and letting her make the decision.

Mitsui Sakura asked, "How many boxes of this product will take to see results?"

Liu Xiaohai replied, "That depends on the degree of obesity. Generally, about 20 boxes are enough to achieve weight loss, which takes about two months at one box every three days. But if the obesity is severe, it will require a longer period."

Mitsui Sakura said, "I don't need to help him lose all the fat. I'm asking how many boxes are needed to see results." Liu

Xiaohai said, "Oh, this one box already has an effect, and it's quite noticeable."

Mitsui Sakura was a little skeptical. She had originally wanted to test it on someone, but seeing Liu Xiaohai's certainty, she swallowed her words and said, "Then let's give each person two boxes. If it's effective, they'll..." "They'll spend money to buy it, so we'll give away 10,000 boxes as a gift. We'll do a small ad, saying it's a million-dollar giveaway."

Liu Xiaohai said, "A million-dollar giveaway?"

Mitsui Sakura laughed, "That's how ads are. Besides, we're not bragging. The retail price is 980,000, almost 1 million, but the actual cost is only 50,000. It's much more cost-effective than advertising on TV. Of course, if it sells well in Shanghai, we'll still do the ads once we make money."

After arranging everything, the three of them had almost finished eating. That night, Liu Xiaohai naturally didn't go back to his rented apartment. Although Mitsui Sakura didn't say anything, her eyes clearly showed she didn't want him to leave.

The next morning, Liu Xiaohai rushed back to Hanhai Villa to see his grandmother. He hadn't been home for many days. If he didn't go back soon, not only would his grandmother scold him, but those beauties would also come to capture him. When he got home, Sun Meng and Zhang Xin weren't there. One was at school, and the other was at work. The two of them rarely stayed at the villa.

Hearing that Liu Xiaohai was going home today, Zhou Zixuan didn't go to Huadong Media. Instead, she waited for him at home. She and the Dai sisters, Dai Jingjing and Dai Shasha, accompanied Liu Xiaohai to greet his grandmother before dragging him back to his room, demanding he make up for all the losses of the past few days.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and since Liu Xiaohai was leaving again tomorrow and they would soon be separated, the three women no longer held back and stayed in his room. This left Liu Xiaohai flustered, juggling three tasks at once with no rest, his body almost constantly occupied. Fortunately, Liu Xiaohai possessed a special ability, enough to handle their relentless onslaught. They played with him all day, leaving the three women exhausted, losing count of how many times they ejaculated before finally letting him go. However, their hands and feet were still wrapped around him, making it impossible for him to move.

Taking advantage of a break, Liu Xiaohai discussed advertising with Zhou Zixuan. He wanted to run a small ad on Huadong Media's Shanghai local TV station. Zhou Zixuan had no objections and even offered to pay him, but Liu Xiaohai insisted on paying. Since it was only for two days, Zhou Zixuan wouldn't ask for more, ultimately asking for only 3,000 yuan and offering to find someone to design and produce it for him.

That evening, Sun Meng and Zhang Xin rushed back, quickly finished dinner with their grandparents, and then took the opportunity to pull Liu Xiaohai away. Grandma watched them with a smile, not trying to stop them.

Then, of course, another fierce battle ensued, and it wasn't until late at night that Liu Xiaohai finally managed to feed the two of them. Just when he thought he could finally sleep, Zhou Zixuan and the other two girls couldn't resist rushing in again. Ignoring Sun and Zhang's objections, they pushed them aside and snatched Liu Xiaohai away. Liu Xiaohai was miserable and had no choice but to fight back. After dealing with them, Sun Meng and Zhang Xin had also recovered their strength and were unwilling to suffer any more losses. They wanted him to keep going, but Liu Xiaohai's objections were useless. As soon as he opened his mouth, they scolded him loudly: "Who told you to be so promiscuous and have so many girlfriends? Of course, you have to take responsibility to the end!" Liu Xiaohai was speechless. He thought to himself that it was a good thing Liang Jiali wasn't there; she was still filming in another city. Otherwise, his death would have been a joke. With Liu Xiaohai's special abilities, he could still "easily" handle it.

Chapter 73 A Generous Gift

With Mitsui Sakura's help, Xu Zhiguo of Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company felt much more relaxed and focused all his energy on the product. Within days, he had produced the "Ruyan" slimming capsules and applied for a patent. The pricing department had also approved the company's price, allowing it to begin sales. Liu Xiaohai wasn't familiar with these details, so Mitsui Sakura handled everything.

Liu Xiaohai himself was still contacting various hospitals to work on "Baoyi Tablets." The company was no longer producing this product; they just wanted to use up the existing stock. Once they made money with the "Ruyan" slimming capsules, they would improve the product. Liu Xiaohai spent time in hospitals for two reasons: first, to maintain contact with ethical doctors so that new products could enter hospitals more quickly; and second, to observe patients and their conditions, which would be beneficial for designing and developing new drugs.

Sales of "Baoyi Tablets" weren't great either. Although many hospitals had stocked them, due to a lack of funds for "promotional expenses" for doctors, only a few doctors like Professor Huang were having their patients use them. The total daily consumption by all hospitals amounted to only a few hundred boxes. After deducting the price difference between the middlemen and hospitals, monthly sales were only around 100,000 yuan. After deducting material costs, the remaining amount wasn't even enough to pay workers' wages or utilities.

Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company ranked its sales staff monthly based on sales volume. With over a hundred sales staff, both new and experienced, Liu Xiaohai surprisingly ranked second with over 120,000 yuan. The top-ranked salesperson only earned a little over 2,000 yuan more. The other new sales staff who joined the company at the same time as Liu Xiaohai had only recently completed their training and had virtually no sales.

However, when it came to commissions and bonuses, the difference between him and others was significant. "Baoyi tablets" had very low profit margins, so the commissions were naturally low as well. With sales of 120,000, he only received less than 3,000 in commission, while the top salesperson, also with sales of over 120,000, received over 40,000 in commission. Although he had to give doctors over 20,000 in kickbacks, even after deducting the kickbacks, his commission was still nearly ten times higher than Liu Xiaohai's.

The veteran salespeople, with their hefty salaries and commissions, were happily going out drinking and playing cards. Liu Xiaohai wasn't interested in any of this and wasn't familiar with them. Just as he was about to leave, Xu Wenshen called him into his office.

After the two sat down in the office, Xu Wenshen said, "Hongbao Group holds an annual meeting every year at the end of the year, and companies that have business relationships with them are invited, including our company. I think you should come with me. You can meet many colleagues at the party, which will be beneficial to your future development."

Liu Xiaohai thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, Mr. Xu, I won't be working at your company for long. I might leave after the New Year. I'd like to give this opportunity to someone else."

Xu Wenshen wasn't surprised at all and laughed, "I guessed that. You're only staying here to sell out 'Baoyi Tablets,' right?"

Liu Xiaohai realized that his teacher, Xu Zhiguo, must have told him, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just about to tell you."

Xu Wenshen laughed heartily, "You bought my teacher's factory and helped him avoid bankruptcy. I don't know how to thank you enough." "So I wanted you to come with me to this Hongbao Group gathering. Getting to know more people in the industry will benefit your company's development. Don't call me President Xu anymore; you're much richer than me. I couldn't afford Teacher Xu's factory."

Liu Xiaohai didn't refuse any longer. He genuinely felt the need to network with more people in the industry, saying, "Thank you, President Xu."

Xu Wenshen said, "I already told you not to call me President Xu. If you're my friend, just call me Lao Xu or Brother Xu."

Liu Xiaohai smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Xu."

Xu Wenshen was very happy that Liu Xiaohai had accepted him as a friend. Although he didn't know Liu Xiaohai's background, this 17-year-old boy had bought a company with tens of millions in debt without batting an eye; he was definitely not simple. Even if Liu Xiaohai didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask. Besides, in his eyes, Liu Xiaohai was a rare talent with unlimited potential.

After leaving Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company, Liu Xiaohai rushed to the newly rented shop on Huaihai Road. This area is frequented by Shanghai's urban white-collar workers, and shop space along the street is extremely valuable. The two-story shop they rented, totaling only about 40 square meters, cost over 20,000 yuan a month in rent. Mitsui Sakura had originally planned to rent a short-term counter in a shopping mall, but Liu Xiaohai, considering the future development of other products and already having many plans in mind, gritted his teeth and decided to open a specialty store. The upstairs could serve as an office, a branch office in the city center. Tianxiang's factory was too far from the city center, and having a branch in the city center would make it convenient for clients to contact them.

The store's renovation was complete, and Mitsui Sakura was leading several workers to set up the counter and display the products. The counter was filled with "Ruyan" slimming capsules; this was currently the only product the company could stock.

Upon seeing Liu Xiaohai arrive, Mitsui Sakurako smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Liu Xiaohai replied with satisfaction, "Very good, thank you for your hard work. When do you plan to open?"

Mitsui Sakurako said, "The day after tomorrow is Saturday, so how about we start there?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "Sure, you can decide. Is the advertisement ready?"

Mitsui Sakurako said, "It's ready. Your friend is really helpful. It seems he works at a pretty big TV station. He only asked for such a small amount of money, and his attitude is incredibly good."

Liu Xiaohai smiled awkwardly. This TV station was just a subsidiary of East China Media Group. Zhou Zixuan had asked them to do an advertisement, so of course they dared not neglect it.

Mitsui Sakurako seemed to have noticed something on Liu Xiaohai's face, but she didn't press him further and continued setting up the shop. Japanese women were indeed much more docile than Liu Xiaohai's "wild" girlfriends, which made Liu Xiaohai feel he shouldn't hide it from her. He walked over to Mitsui Sakura and said, "She...she's also my girlfriend."

Mitsui Sakura lowered her head, biting her lip, and said, "I didn't ask you that."

Liu Xiaohai didn't say anything more and went to help set up the shop, but soon everyone "kicked" him upstairs because they thought he was getting in the way.

The "Million-Dollar Giveaway" advertisement started running on Friday. It was quite well-produced and Zhou Zixuan arranged for it to be played during prime time. The giveaway started on Saturday, but because "Ruyan" slimming capsules were a new product with no brand recognition, and Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company was also unknown, and the shop was newly opened, not many people came to claim the giveaway.

In the afternoon, a group of reporters suddenly arrived, and the store became bustling with activity. There were more reporters than customers, leaving the staff dumbfounded. Mitsui Sakurako knew it was Liu Xiaohai's girlfriend's doing again, and she wondered who this person was. She didn't know that the famous host who came to interview was also Liu Xiaohai's girlfriend.

That day, all the newspapers, magazines, and television stations under East China Media published and broadcast the news report, which was tantamount to giving Liu Xiaohai indirect advertising. Of course, news is much more credible than a simple advertisement. As soon as the store opened on Sunday, crowds flocked in. Many people who hadn't seen the news report thought it was some kind of treasure and joined the queue.

It was just past 2 PM, and all 10,000 boxes had been delivered. Mitsui Sakurako wanted to persuade everyone to leave and close the shop, but Liu Xiaohai saw that there were still many people queuing and more were arriving, so he said, "Take out the remaining stock and keep delivering."

Mitsui Sakurako replied, "We were planning to keep that stock to sell. What will we sell if we give it all away?"

Liu Xiaohai said, "We can just produce more if we give them all away. So many people have come from so far away; if they don't get the product, it will have a negative effect. Besides, they'll only buy it after they've tried it and found it effective. There probably won't be many people buying this product in the next couple of days, so we're not worried about giving it all away."

Mitsui Sakura thought this made sense and immediately announced to the customers who came to ask for the free gifts that 10,000 boxes had already been given away. Just as the customers were disappointed, she announced: "To ensure everyone doesn't leave disappointed, Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company has decided to continue giving away products that were originally intended

for sale." Everyone cheered loudly, praising the company for considering its consumers and calling it a good company. Reporters at the scene immediately recorded the scene. After giving away all the free gifts to the customers who came that day, they counted the products and found that over 20,000 boxes had

been given away. That evening, various television stations and newspapers broadcast the news that the company had added over a million yuan worth of products to give away to ensure customers left satisfied.

Liu Xiaohai didn't expect that his decision would spark such a heated online discussion. Many netizens discussed this phenomenon on various forums, praising Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company's actions.

Many companies have engaged in similar large-scale giveaways. Beforehand, they bombard consumers with advertisements, never specifying the quantity, only stating "limited quantity, while supplies last." After attracting thousands of people, they often only give away a few hundred products, or even nothing at all, or they keep the gifts for themselves before announcing the giveaways are over, leaving

customers to buy more. The sole purpose is to generate buzz. Consumers have been fooled countless times. Now, suddenly, a company is offering extra gifts worth over a million yuan to ensure consumers don't leave empty-handed. This has garnered praise, and many former victims are now condemning these deceptive companies on forums. The initial praise for Tianxiang has turned into condemnation of other companies, with names of those who have deceived consumers being exposed. Some even started ranking these companies, including several world-renowned corporations.

The companies, unable to sit still after being bombarded with criticism, hired online trolls to accuse Tianxiang Pharmaceutical of having ulterior motives, engaging in disguised advertising, and producing inferior products. They even claimed the quantity of free gifts was inflated, suggesting the company was merely engaging in hype and using various pretexts to defame Tianxiang Pharmaceutical.

Many people believed these claims, arguing that all companies are corrupt and only interested in making money, so why would they give away good products carelessly? They suspected the products might be expired and began siding with the trolls. Suddenly, two opposing camps formed online, each presenting their own arguments and refusing to concede.

Such online arguments were numerous and mostly fruitless; people eventually forgot about them after the initial heated debate. However, a few days later, a post on a weight-loss website, like a bombshell, reignited the controversy. This user, a person weighing nearly 100 kilograms, recounted the changes after taking "Ruyan" capsules, claiming to have lost over ten kilograms in three days, and posted photos showing a completely different person. She originally shared this news with a friend on the weight loss website, but after being seen by netizens who had been arguing a few days earlier, it was immediately reposted on various forums, sparking another round of debate. Some said this person was a shill hired by Tianxiang Company and told everyone not to believe it.

But then, more and more posts appeared, all from obese patients who had taken the free samples, posting their changes after taking the "Ruyan" capsules online. The original debate topics were no longer of concern; almost everyone who wanted to lose weight started asking where to buy the capsules, and even many foreign netizens were inquiring.

Obese patients and some beauty-conscious individuals have suffered greatly in their pursuit of weight loss, wasting countless amounts of money. For them, buying weight loss products was almost like buying lottery tickets—buying hope, but always ending in disappointment. Now, with the "Ruyan" weight loss capsules being touted as miraculous online, although they didn't completely believe it, they sincerely hoped it was all true.

Chapter 74 Expanding the Scale

Liu Xiaohai was very confident in the effectiveness of "Ruyan" slimming capsules and believed that customers who had tried the free samples would come back to buy them. However, he didn't expect that a last-minute decision to add more free samples would cause a huge online debate, making Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company and "Ruyan" slimming capsules the focus of online attention.

Originally, they planned to promote it in Shanghai first, hoping that those who received the free samples and experienced the effects would attract them and others around them who were also struggling with obesity to buy it. But with this online controversy, while others didn't know about the effectiveness of "Ruyan" slimming capsules, the name became known throughout the country, becoming a "famous" brand. When its effects were posted online by users, it immediately caused a national sensation and even spread overseas. Now,

dieters all over the country are looking for this product, and health product distributors from all over the country are flocking to Shanghai to find Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company to purchase it. However, Tianxiang's current production capacity, even working 24 hours a day, can only produce a little over 10,000 boxes, which are snapped up as soon as they are delivered to the stores on Huaihai Road. There are no extra products to wholesale to distributors.

In the end, Mitsui Sakurako could only leave their phone numbers, promising to contact them again once the goods were available, and advising the distributors to go back first, as staying there was pointless; current production was only enough to meet customers who came to the store, and increasing production wouldn't be a matter of a day or two. Fortunately, this was a weight-loss health product, not a life-saving drug, so not many people from other places came to Shanghai to buy it.

The company purchased another batch of production equipment, installing machines to produce "Ruyan" weight-loss capsules in all the factories. Liu Xiaohai then improved these machines, increasing production capacity nearly tenfold, but this was still far from enough. It was estimated that they could only supply local merchants in Shanghai. To sell nationwide simultaneously, production capacity would need to be at least higher, but the company didn't have any extra factory space, and buying land to build new facilities would take too long.

Mitsui Sakurako suggested merging with other pharmaceutical companies, which would not only solve the factory problem but also provide readily available workers. Liu Xiaohai and Xu Zhiguo both agreed, as this was the fastest way to solve the problem. There are countless pharmaceutical factories now, most of which are struggling financially and barely surviving. Buying a few wouldn't be difficult.

Money is no longer an issue. Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company is now raking in profits daily, producing an average of 80,000 boxes a day, which sell out every day with no inventory. Shops on Huaihai Road sell tens of thousands of boxes daily; customers, fearing stockouts, buy ten or more at a time. At a retail price of 98 yuan, the daily profit is close to 1 million yuan. Another 70,000 boxes are sold directly to major shopping malls, supermarkets, and chain pharmacies in Shanghai, bypassing distributors. Due to high demand, the wholesale price has risen to 80 yuan, resulting in a profit of over 5 million yuan. Mitsui Sakura can handle it, but Xu Zhiguo is already dumbfounded by this level of profitability.

Liu Xiaohai put Mitsui Sakura in charge of buying factories and asked her to find a larger plot of land to build a new factory in the future. Because this weight-loss capsule is just the beginning, Liu Xiaohai also wants to develop a series of pharmaceuticals and health products. Relying on buying other people's factories is not conducive to long-term development; the locations are not in the same place, making management inconvenient.

Following Liu Xiaohai's instructions, Mitsui Sakurako ultimately chose Xinbao Pharmaceutical Company, not far from Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company. This company was less than a mile away, separated by a food factory and several hectares of vacant land. This arrangement was convenient for management, and if the company were to expand in the future, the land and the food factory could be purchased and combined. Liu Xiaohai

praised Mitsui Sakurako's thoughtfulness but worried that the company might not be willing to sell.

Mitsui Sakurako smiled and said, "As long as you're willing to pay more, there's not much you can't buy. Just wait for my good news."

Having been involved in both the legitimate and criminal worlds for so long, Mitsui Sakurako naturally didn't take this kind of negotiation, where money wasn't a factor, to heart.

That same day, Mitsui Sakurako went to Shinbo Pharmaceutical Company. After explaining her purpose in the boss's office, the boss laughed and said, "Why would I sell the company? Although it's not a big company, it brings me millions in profit every year. I won't sell it."

Mitsui Sakurako said, "Our company only wants to buy your factory and land. Shinbo Company will still be yours. You can name your price and we'll see. Our company is very sincere."

Boss Xinbao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss, rebuilding a factory takes a long time, the losses would be huge, and we would lose our original customers, so I definitely won't sell."

Mitsui Sakura smiled and said, "That's a pity. Our company originally wanted to buy your factory for 20 million, so I'll have to go to the food factory next door. Maybe they'll sell. Goodbye."

She got up and was about to leave.

Boss Xinbao exclaimed urgently, "Wait, wait!"

Mitsui Sakura turned around and asked, "Is there anything else you need to tell me?"

Boss Xinbao smiled awkwardly, "Please sit down! Please sit down! You just said you'd buy my factory for 20 million, and only want the factory building and land, not the company?"

Mitsui Sakura nodded, "That's right. Your factory is worth at most 10 million. Sell it to our company for 20 million, and you can buy a factory twice the size of this and continue your business. We don't need your machinery and equipment; you can take them."

Boss Xinbao was very tempted and asked, "Is it a one-time payment?"

Mitsui Sakura nodded, "As long as you sign the contract now, I'll write a check immediately, but the workers will have to stay."

With the current sales momentum of "Ruyan," expanding production sooner means making money sooner. Moreover, Xinbao Pharmaceutical's factory is twice the size of Tianxiang's own factory, and its output will be at least twice as high after it starts operating, which translates to tens of millions in profit every day. Therefore, as long as Xinbao is willing to sell, they would buy it even for an additional 10 million.

The boss of Xinbao thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll sell this place to you once I find a new factory."

Mitsui Sakura, unwilling to wait several days for him to find a factory, firmly said, "No, we're willing to spend 20 million because we need it fast. If you don't sell, I'll find someone else. I'm sorry."

The boss of Xinbao said anxiously, "But I need to find a place to put these machines, right?"

Mitsui Sakura smiled and said, "How about this, I'll give you another 1 million for relocation fees. You can find a place to move them right away, or our company can help you rent a warehouse and find someone to help you transport the machines."

The boss of Xinbao didn't hesitate any longer and quickly picked up the phone to call his subordinate, saying, "Hello, Xiao Chen? Quickly rent a warehouse..."

(Chapter 75 of Dragon Enters the Mortal World: Rainbow Insurance Annual Meeting

Liu Xiaohai was surprised that Mitsui Sakura had handled the factory purchase so quickly.) Overjoyed, he rushed forward, hugged her, and kissed her passionately. Mitsui Sakura blushed and said, "It only cost 21 million."

Liu Xiaohai hadn't cared much about the amount of money, and laughed, "It doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as we start production a day earlier, we'll make it all back." Mitsui Sakura said, "That's what I thought too, so I offered a high price and had him move in immediately. We can install the equipment tomorrow, and we should be able to start trial production in three days."

Liu Xiaohai said, "You can decide these things. By the way, Mr. Xu from Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Company invited me to attend the Hongbao Group's annual meeting tomorrow. Are you coming with me?"

Mitsui Sakura shook her head and said, "I'm not going. I need to hurry up and get things settled at the new factory over there."

Liu Xiaohai exclaimed in surprise, "You...you're going back to Japan?"

Mitsui Sakura Seeing Liu Xiaohai's flustered appearance, she was secretly pleased and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Don't want me to leave?"

Liu Xiaohai replied, "Yes, yes."

Mitsui Sakura deliberately scolded, "With so many girlfriends, do you really care about me? You're lying."

Liu Xiaohai blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I know I have no right to ask you to stay, but I really didn't lie to you. I really don't want you to leave."

Mitsui Sakura chuckled and said, "Silly boy, I'm going home to visit my parents. Look how nervous you are!" Liu Xiaohai said happily, "Oh, I see. Hehe." Mitsui Sakura scolded, "With your fickle nature, I really don't want to come back."

Liu Xiaohai couldn't explain that he did have quite a few girlfriends, but he now knew that Mitsui Sakura was just saying it out of anger. He was worried about something else now. "But what about when you took me from the hospital last time? Will the Hirota family retaliate against you?" Liu Xiaohai asked.

Mitsui Sakurako smiled and said, "Did you let me stay at the company because you were afraid Junko would retaliate against me?"

Liu Xiaohai nodded and said, "Yes."

Mitsui Sakurako gave him a sweet kiss and said, "Don't worry, although our family has separated from the Hirota family, we still have a lot of influence within them. Junko not only doesn't dare to touch me, she doesn't even dare to tell the head of the family about this."

Liu Xiaohai felt relieved and didn't dare to say anything more, afraid of being accused of being a womanizer. Remembering that Mitsui would be leaving for a while, he kissed her deeply. Mitsui Sakurako responded gently. Luckily, they were in the office; someone might suddenly run in, otherwise, things would definitely get out of control.

************************************************** Biyuan is one of Shanghai's top social venues, a quiet oasis in the bustling city center. They only accept private bookings and not walk-in customers. The booking fee, including all services, is at least 2 million yuan; otherwise, it's impossible to book the entire venue, especially now that it's the end of the year and there are more gatherings, making the prices even higher.

Liu Xiaohai went in Xu Wenshen's car. When they arrived at Bishuiyuan, some managers from Hongbao Group were greeting guests at the entrance, including Manager Li.

After parking the car, Xu Wenshen pulled Manager Li aside and asked with a smile, "Little Li, has your group struck it rich this year? Holding your annual meeting at Biyue Garden! In previous years, we were always stuck in small restaurants."

Manager Li punched Xu Wenshen on the shoulder and said, "Damn it! Old Xu, you're so heartless! When have we ever been stuck in small restaurants? Every year it's always a three-star or higher hotel!" Xu Wenshen laughed and said, "Compared to this place, what is that but a small restaurant? I heard that last year when a high-level European delegation came to Shanghai, the mayor held a welcome reception here. Your group must have money to burn."

Manager Li said softly, "We were originally planning to book that same hotel as last year, but we suddenly changed our minds and decided to hold it here. I heard it was the young master's idea, saying that important guests are attending today." "What's going on? "

Xu Wenshen asked. "Is the old man retiring? Has the company been handed over to the young master?"

Manager Li replied, "Probably soon. You know the old man's health has always been poor. The young master just returned from studying in the United States this year, so he should be helping out. But he spends money too much. I heard today's expenses are over 3 million."

Xu Wenshen laughed, "Young people are bound to be extravagant. Maybe your year-end bonuses will be much bigger."

Manager Li sighed, "I wouldn't dare to think about that. Getting a bonus is good enough. You know the state of the pharmaceutical industry these days. How many companies are doing well? Come on, I'll take you inside first."

Xu Wenshen and Liu Xiaohai had arrived relatively early. There weren't many people in the lobby yet, so Manager Li didn't bother to go out and greet them. He simply accompanied them to a corner to sit down and chat.

Xu Wenshen reintroduced Liu Xiaohai to Manager Li, telling him that Liu Xiaohai had started his own business and bought a pharmaceutical factory, and asked him to take good care of him in the future.

Manager Li was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that this young man, who looked to be under 20, was just a salesman from a small company, yet he had the money and the guts to buy a pharmaceutical factory. He asked, "Which pharmaceutical factory did you buy?"

Liu Xiaohai replied, "The factory that produces 'Baoyi Tablets.' I hope Manager Li will take good care of me in the future."

Manager Li had heard Xu Wenshen mention the factory's situation before and knew it was on the verge of bankruptcy. He thought to himself, "No wonder a mere salesman could afford it." He said, "Oh, it's Yikang Pharmaceutical Factory. Old Xu and I have been friends for many years. He asked me to help, and I will definitely help. However, this factory doesn't have any profitable products. To save it, you must develop new drugs. Don't follow Professor Xu's ideas."

Liu Xiaohai said, "Thank you for your guidance, Manager Li. We're already developing new products."

Manager Li praised, "Young man, you have a bright future. I wish I had been like Lao Xu, working for myself. Now, even though I sound like a manager at a big company, my salary is only so-so, not even as much as my sales staff. I just paid off my mortgage, and my son is about to go to university." Xu Wenshen said, "I envy you. You're supported by a big company and you're still not satisfied. You can enjoy a comfortable retirement. You know how hard it is to work at a company like mine, and I don't know when it will end. How about we switch?" Manager Li laughed, "I wouldn't go to your lousy company. But small companies can make a lot of money too. Recently, a company called Tianxiang Pharmaceutical launched a weight loss product, and it's selling..." "It's insane! It must be making millions in profit every day!"

Xu Wenshen, unaware that Yikang Pharmaceutical Factory had changed its name to Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company, exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of medicine is so profitable? I can't even earn millions a year!"

Manager Li replied, "It's not medicine, it's health supplements."

Xu Wenshen said, "No wonder I didn't know. I rarely pay attention to health supplements; they're all just hype from advertisements. How can they sell so well? I haven't seen any advertisements for new weight-loss products lately."

Manager Li sighed, "They haven't advertised at all. They say the effects are amazing, and they're selling like crazy. Our group's purchasing department even tried to negotiate distributorships, but they don't have any extra stock. Merchants from all over the country are practically breaking down their doors trying to become distributors."

Xu Wenshen swallowed hard and said, "Wow, that's really impressive!"
