[Urban] Desire to Heal the World (Complete) - 39

Chapter Thirty-Eight of the Revenge Volume: Is this really considered serious business?

Longji's business failure this time, while not entirely Long Nan's fault, lay with Long Ma, who was the first to do business with the Japanese. However, it was Long Nan who proposed this deal, so his position as chairman was immediately and collectively ousted by the shareholders! Long Nan was speechless. A single deal had cost Longji over 10 billion, a huge sum. To earn that 10 billion, Longji would have had to expend countless hours and years of effort. And he, Long Nan, with just one deal, had plunged Longji into an unprecedented predicament within three months. It was merciful that he wasn't kicked off the board.

Longji had vanished 10 billion out of thin air, like a wild horse suddenly tripped by its reins. The fall was devastating, and the shareholders had to find a way to get it back on track, otherwise, they would be doomed.

At the chairman's meeting, the shareholders offered various suggestions, but these were either outdated or unethical, while the safe and profitable projects were incredibly difficult to implement and wouldn't show results in the short term. Later, a shareholder provided information that a tender was recently issued for military pharmaceuticals.

It's common knowledge that military supplies—uniforms, sports equipment, weapons—are generally self-sufficient in state-owned arsenals. However, this time, for some unknown reason, the higher-ups decided to award this pharmaceutical project to a private enterprise, provided that the enterprise possesses comprehensive pharmaceutical capabilities.

This was a golden opportunity for Longji. If they could secure this project, they would open up an unprecedented opportunity, leading to a very promising future. There weren't many pharmaceutical groups with such capabilities, and Longji was the top choice.

As the shareholders discussed this, Long Nan seemed about to speak again, but was interrupted several times by other shareholders. Finally, he had to cough a few times to remind them. Everyone turned to look at him, their eyes clearly conveying: What else do you have to say? You have the right to remain silent, but you also have the right to speak, though what you say will be meaningless.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Long Nan quickly seized the opportunity to stand up and say, "Please allow me to say a few words. Although my last decision caused irreversible losses to the group, I want to remind everyone that this decision was not made by me alone, but was passed by a collective vote of the board of directors. In business, there are gains and losses..."

A shareholder impatiently interrupted him, "The past is the past. Stirring things up will only make things look bad for everyone. Say something useful!" This shareholder, seeing the Long family ruined, all the talent gone, leaving only this incompetent and troublesome fellow alive, and yet Long Nan still holding 42% of the group's shares, was disheartened and already planning to withdraw his investment. He didn't really want to continue anyway, and wasn't afraid of offending Long Nan.

Long Nan's face flushed slightly from this shareholder's rebuke, but he didn't back down. Instead, he continued banging the gong in front of the shareholders. “In the past, this project would have been a sure thing for Longji. When my father was alive, he had good relations with government officials, and our overall strength was among the best in the country and even globally. But now, with Longxing emerging, our leading position is no longer secure. They're stronger than Longji from the start. Plus, half of our eight large pharmaceutical factories are in their hands, along with their existing Chongshi Pharmaceutical, Zhenxing Pharmaceutical, Xian's Group, and Shengye Group. Even if they don't merge, and just compete with us one by one, in fair competition, we're probably no match for them in our current state. Moreover, they're now integrated, and Longxing's management system is like a steel rope tightly binding them together. They can advance as a whole, or retreat separately for defense. We're probably no match for them in this project.”

“Who said we're competing fairly! Longma is so shrewd, Longdong is so wise, bringing us nothing but profits. Why have you brought us such huge losses since you took office?” Another shareholder pointed the finger at Longnan, clearly still reeling from the heavy losses. His unspoken message was: Long Nan, you're just a good-for-nothing, all talk and no action.

Faced with the shareholders' mocking stares, Long Nan's face flushed red again, but he still said unwillingly, "When my father was alive, he introduced me to Old Zhu, a man of absolute authority in the military. I heard he's the main person in charge of this bidding process. If this matter were entrusted to me..."

Before he could finish, a shareholder interrupted him without hesitation: "You? Young Master Long, please don't cause us any trouble!"

"You all look down on me like that?" Long Nan was incredibly frustrated!

A veteran employee sighed and said, "Young Master Long, do you know what it means to be disloyal once and never again? You hold the most shares in the group, but that doesn't mean you have the ability to manage the entire group well. This is the group's only chance now, a critical battle for survival! It's not that we don't trust you, but this matter is too important! We really don't want to take any more risks."

Long Nan had been ridiculed and mocked repeatedly, and he was already furious. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? He finally couldn't hold back anymore and snapped. Once he lost his temper, he didn't care about anything else. "I curse all the women in your family! Now that the business has failed, you all blame me, spewing nonsense like you've eaten shit. When you first heard there was money to be made, your eyes widened, and you unanimously approved the contract. Do you think I wanted to lose money? Did you think I didn't want to make money? My losses are greater than any of yours combined. You complain about your meager losses, but I've lost so much—who can I complain to? Do you think I'm a god who knew that condensing factor was an obsolete product? Who can I blame for the business failure? You can only blame yourselves for being blind like me, trusting that son of a bitch of a Japanese!"

The Japanese shareholder representing the Yamada Group was displeased upon hearing this. She, who rarely expressed her opinions, stood up and angrily said, "Mr. Long, please watch your words, or don't blame me for being impolite! The one providing you with the coagulation factor is not our organization, but another Japanese pharmaceutical group. Please don't generalize! Besides, I've seen the agency contract with the Japanese factory. Longji didn't even have a clause requiring the Japanese factory to supply the latest coagulation factor, yet Longxing clearly wrote it down. What does this prove? It proves that we only care about profits in business and haven't seen the fatal details!"

Long Nan was speechless for a long time, but in his heart, he cursed this Japanese woman a thousand times over.

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing. Let's not bring up the old scores. That's a messy account that can't be clearly calculated no matter how you look at it. Young Master Long's losses are huge, greater than any of our shareholders, that's undeniable. Moreover, he's no longer the chairman. I think everyone should balance their minds and work together to win this military pharmaceutical project.

" "But in fair competition, we're no match for Longxing!" "One shareholder said.

"Fair competition isn't an option, so we'll go through the back door. I know where Old Zhu lives. Since the decision is in his hands, let's concentrate our efforts on bribing him!" Long Nan said.

"That's right, no cat can resist temptation. As long as we offer enough money, I believe even if he holds a high position, he'll definitely be tempted," another shareholder said.

"Then who should handle this?" yet another shareholder asked .

"I'll do it!" Long Nan volunteered. After being trampled on for so long, it was time for him to shine.

"You?" The shareholders all looked at him with suspicion.

"Of course, it's me. Do you know Old Zhu? Do you know where he lives? Do you know what he'd like to receive?" Long Nan asked smugly.

"..." The crowd looked at each other, speechless. They really didn't know!

Xiao Chong rarely spends time at Longxing Group, Longxin, or even more so at his father's mansion. With his new identity, he is even more carefree than before. When people call him and ask where he is, he always says he's either at Longxin or Longxing. If they can't find him in either place, he'll say he's out there on an inspection tour. He can always come up with a lot of excuses if he wants to. However, he spends most of his time fooling around with his women, going to forest parks, beaches, hot spring resorts... basically, anywhere that has even a hint of romance, he'll take his women out for a wild time.

Shen Xue and Xiao Sheng weren't unaware of his womanizing ways, but they couldn't control him at the moment. He was not only the CVO of Longxing but also the dean of Longxin. His simple karate skills had brought them billions in profits. And that frog medicine they dismissed as something a quack doctor actually had a proven effect on cancer, and it was selling like hotcakes. Newspapers, magazines, and news outlets were all scrambling to report on him—the father of cancer drugs, an international medical celebrity—countless accolades showered upon Xiao Chong. Such achievements were something Xiao Sheng could never surpass in his entire life!

When they learned of his womanizing, it wasn't Shen Xue who was angry, but Xiao Sheng. Every time he called Xiao Chong to urge him to come back to work, Shen Xue would scold him: "Why are you urging him to come back? Let him be!"

"Are we just going to let him continue this dissolute and decadent lifestyle?" Xiao Sheng said discontentedly.

"What's the problem? Everything's stable now. Why can't he indulge in his philandering? Do you want him to be philandering when he's old?" Shen Xue declared confidently.

"Seriously?" Xiao Sheng's eyes widened in surprise. Such words coming from Shen Xue's mouth? Had the sun risen in the west?

"What's wrong with that! I don't care how many philanderers he has outside. As long as he gives me a few more grandchildren, even if he brings home ten or eight more women, I'll welcome them all!"

So that's it, no wonder!

Bringing honor to the family and having many descendants—in Shen Xue's eyes, this was a sacred and glorious thing. She even encouraged Xiao Chong: "Son, if you fancy any woman, as long as she's virtuous and her DNA is fine, if you can't handle it, just call your mother, and I'll take care of it for you." These words left Xiao Chong speechless.

But now, Xiao Chong's father was in a bit of a predicament. With a pained expression, he said to Shen Xue, "What about the surgeries at Longxin Hospital? They're booked from the beginning to the end of the month!"

Shen Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Our son should be doing serious business. This kind of trivial matter is for you to handle!"

Xiao Chong almost fainted. When did chasing girls and having sex become serious business, while performing surgery became trivial?

However, Xiao Chong was indeed at Longxing Group at this moment! So obedient? Coming to work honestly? Of course not. Under Old C's leadership, Longxing was thriving. He basically ignored the daily chores and often told Old C: "Don't bother me unless it's important, and don't bother me even if it is!" This made Old C forget about his CEO image and give him the middle finger.

So what was he doing at Longxing Group? Of course, he was there to handle "serious business"!

He knocked on the door of the luxurious private office of the Human Resources Director of Longxing Group. Susan was busy processing documents inside, the pile of papers in front of her almost overwhelming her. With the restructuring of Longxing, countless tasks needed to be reorganized. Someone as leisurely as Xiao Chong was definitely an anomaly among the group's senior management; even the big guy and the chubby guy were spinning like tops.

"Shanshan, what are you busy with?" This was a completely pointless question; anyone with eyes could see she was dealing with documents.

"Human Resources stuff! So much stuff, my hands are cramping!" Susan looked up at Xiao Chong before burying herself back in her work.

"Oh, so busy! You must not get much exercise!" Xiao Chong's eyes darted around.

"Yeah, for months, I've been working from dawn till dusk every day. There's so much work, I can't possibly finish it all. When I get home, I collapse into bed and it's already the next day!" Susan said absentmindedly.

"Shanshan, this won't do! If you keep doing this, your figure will go out of shape. Sitting or standing for long periods will not only cause hemorrhoids, but also weight gain!"

"Ah?" Everyone cares about their appearance, and when it comes to her figure, Su Shan felt a chill, and her pen stopped moving.

"Appropriate entertainment and exercise are good for physical and mental health, especially for high-level female office workers!" Xiao Chong's expression was serious.

"Then, what should I do? Maybe I'll buy a treadmill tomorrow and run a few laps now and then!"

"Hehe, I'm here now, aren't I? I'll take you out for a relaxing time!" Xiao Chong looked incredibly considerate.

"But I still have so many documents to process!" Su Shan said, troubled.

"Work is never-ending. As the great man said, those who don't know how to rest don't know how to work. Come on, I'll take you out for some fun!" Xiao Chong took her delicate hand.

"Don't go too far, or you'll have trouble getting back and wasting time!" Clearly, Susan's mind was still on work. Such dedication was truly a blessing for Longxing, Xiao Chong couldn't help but admire.

"Don't worry, it's very close!"

The two left the office and entered the elevator. Xiao Chong pressed the button for the top floor.

"Huh, where are we going? Aren't we going out to play? Why are we going to the top floor?" Susan asked疑惑地.

"The top floor is the most fun! You'll see in a bit!" Xiao Chong said with a mysterious smile, squeezing her hand tightly.

"..." Susan didn't know what he was up to, so she didn't ask further, but holding her hand made her feel happy and warm. Having rushed here from Wuzhen, Longxing had merged, and the things to deal with were piling up like a tide. Who knew when their time for romance would come?

Upon reaching the top floor, Xiao Chong led her hand all the way to the base of the huge circular water tower. This water tower is a unique tap water filtration system in Longxing. After settling here, the tap water is effectively filtered to remove impurities, making it safer and more reliable to drink, and reducing the risk of kidney stones and other diseases.

"Let's go up!" Xiao Chong pointed to the steel ladder.

"What are we going up for?" Susan asked, puzzled.

"Don't ask, you'll understand when you get up!" Xiao Chong remained mysterious. (

Chapter 39 of the Revenge Chapter: A Special Birthday Gift)

Susan had no choice but to obediently climb the ladder, while Xiao Chong followed behind. Looking up, he could see her jade-like legs encased in flesh-colored stockings under her business suit, and her small panties, seemingly beckoning him with a fragrant scent. Xiao Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell off the ladder.

Finally, they reached the huge circular platform of the pool. A red carpet had been laid out on the platform, and the surrounding railings were adorned with colorful balloons. On the carpet sat a sturdy glass table with two uniquely shaped chairs. On the table were red wine, fruit, and a cake. Beside the table was a heart-shaped mattress with brand-new, soft bedding.

"What's all this?" Susan exclaimed in surprise. The whole setup was like a fairyland, so beautiful!

"Hehe, silly girl, it seems you're a little confused about what you're doing. Today is your birthday!" Xiao Chong gently pinched her small, delicate nose.

"Ah? Oh, it seems so! Today is my birthday! Was all this prepared for me?" Susan cried out joyfully. Celebrating her birthday on the top floor, a hundred stories high, was truly unique.

"Hehe, do you like it?"

"I love it, I love it so much!" Susan looked at the colorful balloons, the red carpet, the birthday cake, the cloudless sky, and the occasional refreshing breeze. Surrounded by low-lying buildings, she felt an unprecedented vastness of the world. Standing there felt like standing at the top of the world; the scenery was breathtaking, and with her beloved beside her, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, savoring this precious moment.

Beautiful music began to play from the remote control in Xiao Chong's hand.

In this setting, a passionate, soft, moist, and deep kiss naturally unfolded, their sweetness unspoken.

After the passionate kiss, Xiao Chong said tenderly to Susan, "Baby, you have two choices now. First, drink, enjoy the scenery, and then have sex. Second, have sex first, and then drink and enjoy the scenery!"

"What?! Can't you be a little more civilized? You've ruined all the beautiful scenery!" Susan said coquettishly.

Xiao Chong gazed at her with unwavering affection, his deep, sensual voice whispering in her ear, "So, do you choose to have sex or drink?"

"You... what do you think?" Susan bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, her face flushed with shyness, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Needless to say, it was definitely sex! What a sin! The romantic atmosphere had been ruined by vulgarity and passion.

Without waiting for her to give a command, Xiao Chong lifted her up and gently placed her on the heart-shaped mattress.

Before any deep kisses or caresses could occur, the two were intertwined like two mating snakes, their bodies rubbing together until they were burning hot. Then, almost frantically, they tore at each other's clothes, and soon they were naked, their eyes locked, filled with deep affection and a burning desire.

Their breaths were heavy as they looked at each other, revealing their inner excitement and passion.

Susan's figure was perfectly developed. She was no longer the naive, blond-haired girl from the small Miao village, but a captivating, alluring, and irresistibly sexy Miao woman. Her full breasts were firm and white, with faint blue veins visible. Two pink nipples stood erect in the breeze and with a hint of desire. Her flat, slightly curved abdomen was smooth and delicate like alabaster, and thick, coarse pubic hair covered her most alluring and mysterious area.

"Shan, you're so beautiful!" the man murmured, unable to contain his admiration for her breathtaking figure.

The woman felt a little shy under the man's burning gaze. Although they were on a high rooftop and no one could see them, they were completely exposed, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked and afraid. If someone saw them, they would be mortified. But it was precisely in this environment and atmosphere that the ambiguity and excitement of the situation were amplified. The woman, whose desire had been aroused by the man's thick, agile tongue and lips, gazed intently at her beloved man. She couldn't help but reach out and wrap her arms around his strong waist and back, pulling him closer to her body, and whispered, "Take me, take me!"

Xiao Chong looked at the woman's fair body, flushed with desire, and her wet lower body, knowing that she had reached the peak of passion. The foreplay had been enough; any further would be torture. So he mounted her, slowly squeezing into the passage that had been entered for who knows how long.

"Oh~~" When they became one, the intense pleasure caused them to involuntarily let out a groan.

Xiao Chong felt himself being deeply surrounded by the woman's affection, feeling many sensations: tight, narrow, wet, slippery, soft, warm, gentle... all of which could be summed up in two words: comfortable.

Susan felt possessed by the man, her feelings complex. His hardness made her feel as if she were being pierced, while his swelling made her feel incredibly full. His heat felt like it was burning her body, scalding hot, so painful yet so pleasurable. She couldn't help but gently lift her hips. Seeing the man enjoying himself with his eyes closed, she simply rolled over and pressed herself against him, engaging in passionate movements, searching for that ultimate pleasure...

Sometimes, a woman's sexual happiness is not in her own hands, but in her own lower body. Not only must she be secured, but she must also explore and seek it herself. At this moment, Susan clearly had a profound understanding of this.

The woman's stamina was limited; after a wild session, she was drenched in sweat. The man considerately picked her up and stood up. The woman could only cling to his neck with her soft skin, her pink legs tightly wrapped around his waist. The man slowly walked towards the railing, thrusting as he went. Each impact was frenzied and passionate. The woman felt as if her body was about to be shattered and crushed, her body and mind immersed in an endless sea of desire…

Xiao Chong placed Susan on the edge of the railing, pressing her down from behind, making her lie face down on the railing at a right angle. He entered her from behind, thrusting into her body with force.

Susan seemed unable to withstand such intense stimulation, unable to help but moan. Her voice went from high to low, and slowly she began to cry out involuntarily and wantonly.

This was Xiao Chong's first time doing this kind of thing in a place like this. Looking at the buildings around him, shorter than Longxing, and the cars below, as tiny as ants, he enjoyed the pleasure beneath him, feeling that overwhelming, arrogant aura of trampling all living beings under his feet. He even had a powerful illusion: he was fucking the whole world! After

they finished, it was already dark!

The two of them collapsed on the heart-shaped mattress, feeling the tingling and exhaustion after the peak of their lovemaking, snuggling together and sipping wine.

"Baby, you were so crazy just now!" Xiao Chong sipped his red wine, savoring the woman's allure.

"That's because you haven't touched me in so long, I'm almost going crazy!" Susan picked a grape and gently put it into the man's mouth.

"Aren't you busy? If it weren't for your birthday today, I wouldn't have dared to bother you!" Xiao Chong said with a smile.

"But even if I'm busy, I still have to make time... you know!" Susan whispered shyly.

"You know?" Xiao Chong asked with a mischievous smile.

"That's it, I'm not coming anymore, you're always bullying me!" Susan snuggled into Xiao Chong's arms, then after a while, she remembered something and looked up, saying, "Brother Xiao Chong, didn't you say you were going to take over Longji? Why haven't you made a move yet?"

"Hehe, what's the rush? Longji will be mine sooner or later. Even if it escapes my grasp, it won't escape my grasp. You can rest assured!"

"Are you so confident? But I heard that Longji has also entered the bidding for military pharmaceuticals recently. Once they're in, I'm afraid this deal won't be a sure thing for us!" Susan said worriedly.

"What's there to be afraid of? Based on overall strength, Longji is no longer qualified to compare with us. In terms of fair competition, Longji is now powerless. They're just a paper tiger, easily broken!" Xiao Chong said confidently.

"But I'm afraid they might play some tricks behind my back!"

"Haha, no matter what tricks they play, it's useless. Longji has a fatal weakness, their Achilles' heel. Even if they lower the bid to break even, they still can't win this military project!"

"Oh, what weakness?" Susan asked.

"As the Buddha said: It cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken!" Xiao Chong said mysteriously.

"Tell me, tell me!" Susan, her curiosity piqued, pleaded.

"I can't tell!" Xiao Chong said firmly.

"Really not?" Susan asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Chong nodded firmly.

Susan sighed, "I was very touched and happy today because someone went to great lengths to celebrate my birthday. I originally wanted to repay this person with ice and fire, but now..."

"Oh?" Xiao Chong's eyes lit up, he seemed a little hesitant!

“And there’s the Poison Dragon, the Wanderer who’s supposed to serve him, but now…” Susan said, looking troubled.

“Oh?” Xiao Chong’s eyes lit up.

“I even wanted him to try things he’d never tried before, but now…” Susan said, even more troubled.

Faced with the temptations of beauty and profit, the allure of ice and fire, the Poison Dragon, the Wanderer, and the chrysanthemum, Xiao Chong only had three words left: I’ll tell you everything!

After Susan heard about Long Ji’s fatal weakness, she couldn’t help but say with doubt, “It sounds like it’s very fatal, but we still need to take action to avoid sitting idly by. What if something unexpected happens? Better safe than sorry!”

“That’s true, I accept your suggestion!” Xiao Chong nodded, then said, “It’s your birthday today, let’s not talk about business! See what other activities I’ve arranged for you?” Xiao Chong said, shaking the small remote control in his hand.

“Okay!” Susan looked at the stars slowly appearing, nestled together with her lover, already feeling incredibly romantic. Hearing that there were other activities, she was naturally even more delighted.

"Look!" Xiao Chong pressed the remote control in his hand and pointed behind Susan. Susan turned around and was instantly stunned!

With a "pop," a firework, accompanied by a red flash, soared into the night sky, bursting into a magnificent display of colorful flowers. It faded, but before one flower subsided, another rose, instantly filling the sky with dazzling brilliance. The spectacle was breathtaking, a dazzling display of colors, a breathtaking spectacle that left everyone mesmerized. It truly was a display of a thousand flowers blooming, a riot of colors.

"So beautiful!" Susan couldn't help but exclaim.

After the dazzling fireworks display, the sky returned to darkness. Susan thought it was over and was about to turn around when she heard several loud "bangs..." and then several large, colorful, flashing words appeared in the sky: Susan, I love you!

It's a very old-fashioned phrase, but it's also the phrase women love to hear most. Susan was instantly moved to tears, turned around and hugged the man tightly, refusing to let go.

Life is like fireworks; youth and beauty fade, fleeting glory and ephemeral splendor, yet beauty resides within life itself!

(Watching the blissful couple and the dazzling fireworks, Liao Liao suddenly felt inexplicably sad, recalling the words his girlfriend of three years had said to him when they broke up: "Our love is like a magnificent firework, brilliantly blooming and then disappearing without a trace, leaving no ashes or deep imprints. In my memory, you came and took me to see a fireworks display, but after the curtain fell, all that remained was the desolation of the end! At the time,

I couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and still asked you, completely oblivious to romance: What do you mean? No imprints? So all those things I ejaculated on your body for the past three years were for nothing?

See, this is Liao Liao before he was twenty-five, a person who thinks purely with his penis!")

Revenge Chapter 40 You're Too Young for a Husband

Xiao Chong originally didn't plan to give a gift, because he felt that Longxing getting this military pharmaceutical business was a sure thing, and there was no need to waste money. However, he couldn't resist the pressure from the higher-ups and finally had to agree to this sycophantic act of giving a gift.

He agreed to the gift, which relieved Old C, Qi Feier, and the others. However, a problem arose: although everyone present knew that the decision-making power regarding military medicine rested with Old Zhu, no one knew where he lived, nor did anyone recognize this powerful figure in the military.

Zhang Sanfeng, who always got things done and never boasted, finally spoke up: "We don't know him, but there's one person who definitely knows him!"

"Who?" everyone asked in unison.

"His grandfather!" Zhang Sanfeng pointed at Xiao Chong!

"My grandfather? Damn, cousin, are you kidding me? My grandfather doesn't seem to know anything except farming and occasionally beating up my dad!" Xiao Chong complained.

"I'm not referring to that grandfather, but to my biological grandfather, your godfather!" Zhang Sanfeng's words were somewhat incoherent, but this time Xiao Chong finally understood. Zhang Sanfeng was referring to his biological grandfather, Zhang Weijie's biological father, Xiao Chong's father's godfather, and Xiao Chong's godfather. It sounded a bit long-winded, but the relationship wasn't complicated.

"That's right. Your grandfather was a big shot before he retired, there's no way he wouldn't know Old Zhu!" Xiao Chong said with a sudden realization.

"What do you mean 'my grandfather'? He dotes on you more than me, he's your grandfather! Every time I call him, the first person I ask about is you!" Zhang Sanfeng revealed his true feelings for the first time.

"Ah... he's both our grandfathers, okay!" Xiao Chong didn't want to argue about this anymore.

"Then I'll call him!" The decisive Zhang Sanfeng said, reaching for his phone.

"No, to be on the safe side, I think we should go in person!" Xiao Chong said

. "Hmm, that's fine! You go by yourself, I won't go, I have a lot of things to do!" Zhang Sanfeng said.

"Then who will come with me?" Xiao Chong asked.

"I'll go with you, I'm going crazy staying in the office all day!" Sun Shanshan exclaimed. For her, who still had a wild streak, Longxing's Guocheng Plaza was like a cage, and she longed for a chance to go out and let loose.

Xiao Chong drove his car with Sun Shanshan, arriving in Zhongcheng where his godfather Zhang Huaqiang lived, covered in dust. Entering the Zhang family mansion, they were greeted by Zhang Huaqiang with a kind smile as soon as they reached the gate

. "Grandpa..." Xiao Chong called out.

"Hmm, wait, let me smell you first!" Zhang Huaqiang said, taking a deep breath and then saying, "I don't smell any affection, but rather the stench of money, and... well, it seems like there's a hint of something trying to drag me down with him!"

"Huh? Grandpa's nose is so sensitive, like Susan's..." Sun Shanshan was about to praise Zhang Huaqiang, but seeing Xiao Chong's expression, she quickly stopped herself.

Zhang Huaqiang smiled tolerantly and said, "Little girl, are you trying to say my nose is as sensitive as a hunting dog?"

Before Xiao Chong could stop her, Sun Shanshan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!" Xiao Chong, anxious, tugged at her sleeve; Zhang Huaqiang's sternness was legendary.

"Don't pull and tug like that in front of your elders!" Sun Shanshan said, shaking off his hand.

"..." Xiao Chong was so anxious he jumped up and down, feeling embarrassed and wanting to strangle her as he looked at Zhang Huaqiang's teasing smile.

"Haha, what's wrong with Comrade Xiao Chong today? You're not as decisive as a young lady. Is there something you've done wrong? Are you feeling guilty?" Zhang Huaqiang laughed.

"No, no!" Xiao Chong blushed, his secret exposed, and quickly pulled Sun Shanshan over as a shield. "This is my girlfriend, named Sun Shanshan, the 'Shan' in 'Red Star.' Her father is..."

"No need for introductions, I know everything about you. Her father is Sun Weiquan, the former boss of Shengye Group!" Zhang Huaqiang waved his hand, then said with a mocking smile, "I also know that you have more than just Shanshan as your woman, many, many more!"

"That's right, he's such a womanizer, his women are practically lined up in a platoon!" Sun Shanshan seized the opportunity to complain.

"He's just like his father, a born womanizer!" Zhang Huaqiang laughed heartily.

Xiao Chong couldn't say a word, left speechless by the teasing of the old man and the young man.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk!" Zhang Huaqiang took their hands and led them inside.

"Let me guess why you've come this time!" Zhang Huaqiang said as he personally brewed tea for Xiao Chong and his son. He hadn't brewed tea for anyone in years; even Xiao Chong's father hadn't had the privilege. For him to brew tea for someone, they first needed to be respected. While Xiao Chong's father was capable, his timid nature didn't earn Zhang Huaqiang's full admiration. However, he had high hopes for this adopted grandson.

"Alright!" Xiao Chong replied without hesitation. He knew that any tricks he played in front of this wise old man were pointless.

"I know everything about you from beginning to end, and you've become incredibly famous lately. Logically speaking, you shouldn't need anything from this old man, but you walked in timidly, your eyes darting around, clearly indicating you have three things to ask of you. So I guess you're here for either money or revenge! Or perhaps both!"

"Grandpa is amazing!" Sun Shanshan couldn't help but give the old man a thumbs up. In her eyes, old people were all nagging and unreasonable, like her father and Xiao Chong's mothers, who were the most talkative. But someone like Zhang Huaqiang, who could pinpoint the problem in just a few words, was probably unique! She didn't like him, and could only like Xiao Chong.

"Grandpa, since you know, then you..." Xiao Chong's plea for help was interrupted by Zhang Huaqiang.

"If you have many children and no one to help with them, I can help, but I won't help you with this! Although I'm retired now, the principles of the nation and the Party are still in my heart!" Zhang Huaqiang said, giving Xiao Chong a deep look. "Chong'er, do you know the biggest difference between you and Sanfeng?"

"I don't know!" Xiao Chong was extremely disappointed after learning that Zhang Huaqiang refused to help.

"In my eyes, you two are actually no different. You're both my grandsons, and I feel the same way about you. You both served in the army, but I hope you can stay in the army, while Sanfeng insists on staying, and I want him to retire!"

"Why is that?"

"Because of your personalities. You're impulsive and smooth-talking. You seem to act haphazardly, but you're very organized and like to use your brain. If you stay in the army, you'll definitely bring greater honor to the country. But Sanfeng is different. He's too upright, almost to the point of being dull. If he stays in the army, he might be a good candidate, but at most, he'll just be a piece of wood! Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand a little bit!"

"Then do you know that if you don't merge this year, your Longxing will be destroyed?" Zhang Huaqiang asked in a deep voice.

"I... I don't know!" Xiao Chong felt a chill in his heart, and cold sweat broke out. Unexpectedly, even though the old man was no longer in power, he was still very observant and attentive.

"And do you know how many departments are keeping a close eye on Longxing? And how much pressure Grandpa has been under to help you with all this?" "

..." Xiao Chong broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder Longxing Society had been making such a big fuss over the years without any official intervention or anyone coming to him; it turned out Zhang Huaqiang was influencing things.

"But after the Longxing merger, you finally managed to clean it up and bring it to justice. At least Grandpa's efforts weren't in vain!" Zhang Huaqiang said with a satisfied smile.

"This work is exclusively published in text form on 16k.com. Reproduction or excerpting without permission is prohibited. For more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit..." Xiao Chong was mortified. He had only been focused on making money from anti-cancer drugs, which was why he had brought Longxing to the forefront with the support of other groups. He had never intended to legalize it. Unexpectedly, this accidental success had actually brought it to fruition. The original Longxing members—the leaders—entered the company, the thugs went to factories, and those with some ability found legitimate jobs in various subsidiaries of the Longxing Group. Longxing Society had been successfully dismantled and reorganized, now operating under a true group management model.

"Chong'er, you have a long road ahead of you. Be careful where you step. Do you know you almost stepped onto the road to hell?"

"I know, I'm sorry, Grandpa!" Xiao Chong said, filled with shame. He thought his gang activities were done discreetly, but he hadn't realized everything was under someone else's control. Right now, he felt like a clown, making a complete fool of himself, yet still oblivious.

"Hehe, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore!" Zhang Huaqiang patted Xiao Chong's shoulder, signaling him to be strong.

As the three were chatting and laughing, the sound of a car engine suddenly rang out!

"Grandpa, it seems you have a guest!" Xiao Chong saw the Hongqi limousine drive in, thinking it was another important person arriving.

"It's alright, don't worry about him. Just some old geezer who comes to freeload every few days. I don't know if I owed him something in a past life! Not only do I get free meals, I have to play along!" Zhang Huaqiang said with a helpless smile, but everyone could see that the old man wasn't impressed with this freeloader.

A moment later, an old man not much younger than Zhang Huaqiang appeared at the door, his stern face and imposing presence, wearing a Zhongshan suit with a very stylish long coat.

"Old Nine, you're here!" Zhang Huaqiang greeted him with a smile.

"Eh, I think I've come at the wrong time today! Old Zhang seems to have a guest!" Old Nine glanced at Sun Shanshan and Xiao Chong sitting in the living room.

"Hehe, they're not outsiders, they're my grandson and granddaughter-in-law! Come, Xiao Chong, Shan Shan, come and greet Uncle Jiu!" Zhang Huaqiang waved to the two.

"Hello, Uncle Jiu!" Xiao Chong and Sun Shan Shan knew their place and didn't slight Zhang Huaqiang just because he spoke casually.

"Haha, good, good! Old Zhang's grandson is indeed quite handsome! Where does he work?" Old Jiu looked Xiao Chong up and down.

"Nowhere, Old Jiu, don't praise him too much, or he'll get all cocky! He said he's some kind of CVO at that lousy Longxing Group, right? These days, titles are really strange. I still don't understand what CVO is, but I've heard of UFOs!" Zhang Huaqiang said with a faint smile.

"Oh?" Old Jiu couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chong again and said, "Indeed, young and promising!"

"Stop babbling, are you here to freeload? If you're here to freeload, let's eat. There are bananas on your table after you've eaten, help yourself! We're going to eat!" Zhang Huaqiang said.

“Old Zhang, you can’t be like this. Even a newcomer is a guest, especially a former comrade-in-arms. Is this how you treat an old comrade?” Old Jiu said this, but his feet had already moved towards the dining table.

“Old man!” Zhang Huaqiang laughed and scolded, then called to Xiao Chong and the other man, “Dinner’s ready, dinner’s ready!”

Their casual conversation clearly indicated a close relationship. Xiao Chong sensed something special in Zhang Huaqiang’s gaze, but couldn’t quite grasp it. He quickly became cautious; dealing with important figures was always as troublesome as a woman’s period.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was lively. The two old men spoke casually yet wittily, their banter more engaging than the food itself. The meal passed in laughter and conversation.

Xiao Chong ate very little, mostly listening to the two old men chatter. Sun Shanshan, oblivious to everyone else, buried her head in her food. Xiao Chong nudged her under the table with his knee, signaling her to be more refined, but instead, her high heels made her wince.

After dinner, Zhang Huaqiang suggested some entertainment to help with digestion. Xiao Chong thought they would watch TV, go for a walk, play chess, or at most, play cards. Unexpectedly, they were going to do some physical labor—playing mahjong. (What's mahjong? Dude, are you from outer space?)

Although Xiao Chong didn't like it and wouldn't bother learning it, he had been forced to learn a few moves when he went into business with Lin Meimei. Sun Shanshan was a native of Yuancheng, and mahjong was her specialty. So the four of them sat down at the table.

"The news is coming soon! Let's watch the news while we play cards!" Lao Jiu said while stacking the cards.

"Multitasking, impressive, another successor to Zhou Botong." Xiao Chong thought to himself as he turned on the TV.

"...Welcome to the midday news. Typhoon 'Egg' is expected to arrive on the coast of Hainan at 11 PM tonight, with initial winds of level six to seven. Hopefully..."

"Look, the typhoon is here again. How many times today? Two of Bamboo!" Zhang Huaqiang asked, slapping down a tile.

"Looks like the fourth time. Chow! Six of Wan!" Xiao Chong replied, slapping down a Six of Wan.

"Pong! So many natural and man-made disasters. Looks like this mahjong game can only last one round at most! Something else is going to bother me!" Lao Jiu said, ponging the Six of Wan and discarding a Seven of Wan.

"Haha, the only one I've been waiting for is you, I... Kong!" Sun Shanshan laughed loudly!

The other three were sweating profusely, seeing her excited appearance, they thought she had won!

"...In October, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, on October 20th, three unique large-scale charity fundraising events will be held in Guangdong Province. The main beneficiaries of the charity fundraising are children who have dropped out of school due to the Wenchuan earthquake, and the donors are successful people from all walks of life. The donations will be conducted through auctions, and most of the auction items will be antiques and cultural relics from collectors..." The news continued.

"Old Jiu, why don't you auction off that blue and white porcelain Tang Dynasty nine-color octagonal seven-beast vase and do your part for the children who have dropped out of school! Red Dragon!" Zhang Huaqiang teased Old Jiu with a smile.

"Old Zhang, you make it sound so easy. This vase was passed down from my ancestors with great difficulty. Even if I were to auction it off, I wouldn't dare to do so. Besides, it's not worth much now. And you, I haven't seen you auction off your precious jade ruyi! Bar! White Dragon!" Old Jiu's eyes were fixed on the television until the segment ended, at which point he came back to his senses.

Xiao Chong was about to call "Tian" (a card in the game) when he suddenly saw Zhang Huaqiang looking at him with a half-smile. His heart skipped a beat. What did that mean? Why was he looking at him with such an ambiguous gaze? If he wanted him to let him win, he should just say so! Or maybe he could kick him under the table.

"Haha, sorry, I won!" Sun Shanshan, however, ignored everything and picked up the blank tile, knocking over the cards in front of her.

The three men looked at Sun Shanshan's cards and then at her excited expression, somewhat taken aback, but the news broadcast had already ended.

"I'm not playing anymore, I have to go to work. Old Zhang, I'll come over for a free meal another day!" said Lao Jiu.

"Seriously? You're only playing one round and then you're quitting? Can't you handle losing, old man!" Sun Shanshan was in high spirits after winning, and this sudden decision to quit was incredibly disappointing. Regardless of whether he was a big shot or a small fry, she started shouting.

"Hehe, little girl, sorry, I'll play twenty-four rounds with you next time. I really had something to do today!" Old Jiu wasn't angry at all, and smiled very politely.

"Just go ahead and leave, why waste so much time talking!" Zhang Huaqiang wasn't young anymore, otherwise he probably would have kicked Old Jiu afterward, judging from his tone.

After Old Jiu left, the three of them were still sitting at the mahjong table.

"Xiao Chong, shouldn't you go get to work too?" Zhang Huaqiang said meaningfully to Xiao Chong.

"I guess so, but Grandpa should at least give me a hint!" Xiao Chong knew that this meal and this mahjong game were not simple, they were full of mysteries, and what gave him a headache was that it seemed like a blank book, impossible to decipher.

"I can only give you one, that person's name is Zhu Jiuzhang!" Zhang Huaqiang said.

"Zhu Jiuzhang?" Xiao Chong exclaimed in surprise. This was Old Zhu? He held the power of bidding for military pharmaceuticals? He really didn't recognize a great man. He missed an opportunity to curry favor, bribe, and flatter him? Thinking about this, Xiao Chong couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards his godfather. Why hadn't this man told him beforehand?

"What are you thinking about? Are you upset that Grandpa didn't tell you beforehand? Haha, Xiao Chong, Grandpa has done his best. The rest is up to you to use your own brain!" Zhang Huaqiang was no ordinary person; how could he hide Xiao Chong's thoughts from him?

"Does Grandpa have any more hints?" Seeing that he had already put things this way, Xiao Chong could only ask as a last resort.

"No, if I had to say something useful, it would be that Shan Shan just made a bluff!"

"Ah? No way!" Xiao Chong and Sun Shan Shan were both shocked and quickly looked at the undiscarded tiles on the table. Upon closer inspection, they couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief, because Sun Shan Shan's hand was not only a bluff, but also a hand with a missing pair of tiles!

"..."

Chapter 41 of the Revenge Volume: Hidden Clues

On the way back to Guangcheng, Xiao Chong gripped the steering wheel, looking preoccupied. He felt that in the short two hours at Zhang's residence, Zhang Huaqiang had told him many things, and if he grasped these things, they would be the key to securing the military pharmaceutical project. However, he couldn't guess much of it.

Turning his head to look at Sun Shanshan, this somewhat oblivious woman was already asleep. It seemed that getting her to answer his questions was out of the question. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly regret it and sighed deeply. Bringing such a woman out was useless except for flirting on the road to relieve boredom and having a few wild sex at night. If only he had brought Qi Fei'er along, at least she could help him explain the current problem.

"What do you mean? Looking at me and sighing, is it embarrassing for you to bring me out?" Sun Shanshan was obviously not asleep; she saw Xiao Chong's every move.

"No, I didn't mean that!" Xiao Chong really wanted to say, "You know it!"

"Hmph, you just think I'm embarrassing you!" Sun Shanshan pouted.

"Really, no, I was just wondering what Grandpa was trying to tell me. How am I supposed to think about that?" Xiao Chong denied.

"Oh, is that it? Your grandpa is so clever, it's really hard to figure out his intentions, but there are a few things I've figured out!"

"Oh?" Xiao Chong's eyes lit up, and he urged, "Tell me quickly!"

"First of all, he didn't tell you beforehand that the old man who visited was Zhu Jiuzhang, which must be because he was afraid you'd mess things up and make him look bad. Secondly, it's very likely related to that news! And thirdly... sorry, I haven't thought of that yet!"

Xiao Chong rolled his eyes. Did you really need to tell me that? It's pure nonsense.

"Why are you rolling your eyes? It looks awful! Did I say something wrong?" Sun Shanshan retorted.

"I didn't say anything wrong, I didn't say anything wrong, okay! You should just go to sleep!"

"Hmph!" The petty Sun Shanshan turned her face away and ignored him, looking out the window at the scenery before falling into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she had completely forgotten about Xiao Chong's tantrums. Not holding grudges was probably one of her strengths.

Back in Guangcheng, Xiao Chong immediately found Qi Feier and told her everything about meeting Zhang Huaqiang, every word, every detail, so she could understand the situation! He didn't dare go to Shen Xue, because he estimated she would point at his head and yell: "Pig brain!"

After listening, Qi Feier thought carefully and said, "I think there are a few points worth considering. First, Grandpa didn't introduce you to Zhu Jiuzhang, but instead introduced you to him. He didn't mention that you're a tough soldier or the director of Longxin Hospital, but instead said you're the CVO of Longxing Group. This is worth considering. Now that Longxing has entered the bidding process, Zhu Jiuzhang, as the head of military pharmaceuticals, couldn't possibly not know that Longxing has been shortlisted. Grandpa didn't need to say it directly; Zhu Jiuzhang should understand: 'This is my grandson, from Longxing Group. Given our relationship, you should take good care of me!'"

"Yes, that makes sense! Continue!" Xiao Chong nodded repeatedly.

"Grandpa's arrangement seems casual, and everything seems so coincidental, but it's actually deliberate. Introducing you to Zhu Jiuzhang seems casual, but it's to make an impression on him. When you go to Zhu Jiuzhang yourself, it will be easier to get things done, whether it's talking or giving gifts!"

"Yes, I've thought of all that. Anything else?"

"Also, there's that news."

"You mean Typhoon Egg?"

"No, I mean the antique auction."

"What's so interesting about that? Isn't it a normal thing?"

"No, that's the most intriguing part. While you were talking, I checked online and found an item at the antique auction called a blue-and-white porcelain Tang Dynasty nine-color octagonal seven-beast vase!"

"Huh? Zhu Jiuzhang put his own up for auction?" Xiao Chong asked in surprise.

"No, Zhu Jiuzhang said it was an heirloom, but it was only recently unearthed. It's described on the website!" Qi Feier said.

"It's not fake, is it?" Xiao Chong wondered.

"Of course not. All the antiques auctioned have been authenticated by experts from the International Antique Association!"

"Damn! I understand now!" Xiao Chong exclaimed, then suddenly burst into laughter as if he'd gone crazy.

"What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Chong laughed wildly for a long time before stopping and saying, "Grandpa is really shrewd. He can even think of such a method. It seems that old ginger is spicier!"

"What what?" Qi Fei'er asked.

"Haha, I can't say anything now. Just wait and see the show!"

"..."

On a night when no one had provoked anyone, Typhoon "Egg" swept across the Asia-Pacific region.

This work is exclusively published in text form on 16k Novel Network. It may not be reproduced or excerpted without permission. For more latest and fastest chapters, please visit the sea area between Japan and China. A 10,000-ton cargo ship was struggling in the raging wind and waves. The captain, with decades of sailing experience, displayed his still-sharp skills, directing the giant ship to fight against the roaring "Egg". In the end, the storm passed without a tragedy of capsizing or loss of life, but all the goods transported were flooded, and the direct losses are still being estimated...

Typhoon "Egg" was very arrogant, but it had nothing to do with Long Nan for the time being, because he was currently representing Long Ji through Zhu Lao's back door.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, Long Nan finally entered Old Zhu's house.

Zhu Jiuzhang was at home, engrossed in writing, deeply troubled by the fierce competition in the drug bidding process. He needed to calmly consider all the issues to ensure fairness, impartiality,

and transparency. As soon as Long Nan entered, he realized his timing was poor. He noticed Zhu Jiuzhang slightly frown upon seeing him. Skilled at reading people, he inwardly groaned, but still respectfully greeted him, "Uncle Zhu, hello!" This matter concerned the very survival of Longji; even if he was naive, he had to be careful.

"Nephew Long, long time no see. Please sit down!" Zhu Jiuzhang said indifferently. This man was incredibly tactless; daring to visit at such a crucial time, wasn't he deliberately trying to embarrass him?

Hearing this, Long Nan sat up straight, feeling a little uneasy. Seeing the housekeeper come to make tea, he quickly picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Zhu Jiuzhang before pouring one for himself.

Flattery never fails. Long Nan wasn't much of a businessman, but his flattery and bootlicking skills surpassed even his father's.

Zhu Jiuzhang sat calmly, having witnessed the changes in the Long family and knowing everything about Long Ji. He understood Long Nan's purpose in coming.

"Uncle Zhu, it's been a long time since I've visited you. I went to Hainan for a trip these past few days and saw that coconuts were very cheap there. I heard that the juice and flesh of these coconuts are rich in vitamins and have hemostatic, analgesic, wind-dispelling, diuretic, and stomach-soothing effects. Remembering that Uncle Zhu has always had stomach problems, I brought back two baskets. They're not worth much, please accept them!" Long Nan cautiously pointed to the two baskets of coconuts.

This gift was somewhat thoughtful. Genuine Hainan coconuts were indeed rare here, and although the price was cheap, it was exactly one of Zhu Jiuzhang's hobbies. But two baskets of coconuts were worth at most a few hundred yuan. Trying to bribe Zhu Jiuzhang with that was a bit too childish.

Regardless, this souvenir, given as a gift during a visit, pleased Old Zhu quite a bit, and his brow relaxed. Coconuts were his favorite; though inexpensive, they were hard to come by, and the gift's value had nothing to do with bribery, so he could accept it without worry. However, one is bound to be obliged by others, and one's words are bound to be polite, so Zhu Jiuzhang changed his tone and said to Long Nan, "Nephew Long, Uncle Zhu is old and no longer as valiant as he was in battle. I don't have much ambition anymore; I just want to finish these two years steadily and then enjoy my retirement, playing chess and mahjong with Old Zhang. But don't worry, I will handle matters fairly and impartially, and I will never favor either side!"

Hearing this, Long Nan was filled with questions: What did this mean? Did it mean he was powerless to help Long Ji? Or was it to reassure him...? After much thought, he finally came to one conclusion: Old Zhu was playing a game of tai chi!

"He's definitely a cunning old fox," Long Nan cursed inwardly before speaking, "Hehe, Uncle Zhu, you're as imposing as ever, still full of vigor! You're not old at all! I came mainly because I haven't seen you in so long, I missed you terribly. Now that I see you're doing well, I'm relieved. Uncle Zhu, you have many obligations, so I won't bother you any longer! I'll come visit you again another day!"

"Are you leaving already?" Zhu Jiuzhang was completely baffled this time. He hadn't even warmed his seat yet!

"Uncle Zhu, you're busy, you're busy! No need to see me off!" Long Nan wasn't stupid. Now that he had accepted the gift, it was time to slip away.

"Oh! Then take care!" Zhu Jiuzhang was still completely confused.

In Chapter 42 of the Revenge Volume

, after Long Nan left, Zhu Jiuzhang continued his writing, but the matter was truly suspicious. No matter how he thought about it, something felt off. If Long Nan had genuinely come to visit him out of pure kindness, he wouldn't have left after only a few minutes. But if he had come for a pharmaceutical bidding process, he wouldn't have brought a few worthless coconuts. What was hidden in this? Zhu Jiuzhang couldn't figure it out. When his gaze fell on the two baskets of coconuts, he was suddenly alarmed. Could there be something wrong with these two baskets of coconuts?

Zhu Jiuzhang quickly went over and picked out the coconuts one by one. There was nothing there. The baskets were old and worn, and the coconuts were all intact. Everything seemed normal; he couldn't find anything wrong.

Zhu Jiuzhang almost gave up, but his scout's intuition told him that there was definitely something fishy going on, and a very big one at that. He quickly picked up the coconuts and tapped them one by one with his fingers, like someone selling watermelons, listening to the sound to determine their ripeness.

Old Zhu tapped each coconut one by one. When he got to the last one, a problem arose. This coconut felt off; it was too light, almost hollow. But when he tapped it, he felt something inside. So he found a knife and carefully cut it open. The first thing he saw was solid foam, and in the center of the foam was a small box containing a broken bowl. A

broken bowl? Zhu Jiuzhang was dumbfounded. What was Long Nan up to? The observant old man examined the bowl closely and quickly discovered the secret. It wasn't a broken bowl at all; someone had deliberately smeared it with dust to make it look dirty. Old Zhu quickly got some silk and carefully wiped the bowl clean. After wiping it several times, he finally saw the bowl's true nature and gasped. Based on his fervent love for antiques and his excellent ability to distinguish the genuine from the fake, he knew it was a jade bowl used by emperors during the Yuan Dynasty, conservatively estimated to be worth around eight million yuan today. It was the first item to be auctioned at the Guangdong Provincial Charity Auction.

Old Zhu held the jade bowl, examining it with obvious delight, and couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly: "What a clever way to give a gift! What a generous gesture! What audacity! Doesn't he fear I'll chop this coconut in half?" This kid Long Nan has really put me in a difficult position. I have a passion for antique collecting, but I know very few people. I only mentioned it once to Long Ma in front of Long Nan, and even Long Ma, a friend of many years, didn't take it to heart. I never expected this kid to take it so seriously!

Long Nan's gift-giving method was indeed clever and extravagant, leaving Old Zhu somewhat hesitant. But after witnessing Xiao Chong's gift-giving method, he was completely dumbfounded! This CVO of Longxing Group, known as Ouyang Chong, Zhang Huaqiang's godson, truly showed him what madness meant.

Charity and philanthropy have always been a good place for businessmen to gather goodwill.

On the one hand, they can flaunt their wealth with lavish spending; on the other hand, they can demonstrate their humanitarian spirit; furthermore, they can enhance their own and their company's reputation; and still moreover

, they can curry favor with the upper echelons and the general public. In the United States, there are even laws that allow companies to receive tax exemptions for charitable donations exceeding one million.

Two days ago, dozens of collectibles appeared at the Guangdong Provincial Convention and Exhibition Center, all treasured by high-ranking business figures. Because the Governor of Guangdong Province personally presided over the event, everyone's enthusiasm was high.

Everyone hoped to have a large photo of themselves with the Governor on the front page of today's newspaper; undoubtedly, this would greatly enhance their corporate image and brand awareness.

This work is exclusively published in text form on 1^6k Novel Network. Reproduction or excerpting without permission is prohibited. For more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit [website address]. Of course, for large groups like Longji, such an image is unnecessary; they have long since passed the era of needing to attract attention. But Longji desperately needed this publicity stunt, because they were on the verge of collapse. Their two stocks were nearing rock bottom, and they hoped this charity event would boost their prices, or at least prevent them from falling further.

Therefore, Long Nan was representing Longji today; he was the first to bid seven million for the Tang Dynasty imperial jade bowl.

In a corner, Xiao Chong and Qi Feier were whispering as they watched him confidently posing for photos with the provincial governor.

"If I'm not mistaken, this jade bowl will probably soon be in Zhu Jiuzhang's house! Seven million—it's hard not to be tempted!" Qi Feier said, frowning.

"What's there to be afraid of? Long Nan can give it away, but old man Zhu has to be able to afford it!" Xiao Chong maintained his mischievous smile.

"Can you be sure he wouldn't dare take it?"

"Hehe, that's hard to say, it's several million! There are very few cats in the world that can resist stealing fish!"

"Yeah, just like you, nothing else is good, only love to steal fish!"

"Cough...where are you going!"

"Isn't that right?"

"..." (Liao Liao Yisheng's new book has been uploaded, the book page link is:

Please support it! Collect, give flowers, votes, if you have any, please vote!)

Xiao Chong and Qi Feier represented Longxing at three consecutive charity auctions, but they did not bid on any antiques or cultural relics until the very last moment. The last item auctioned was a blue and white porcelain Tang Dynasty nine-color octagonal seven-beast vase.

This Tang Dynasty three-color vase came from an ancient tomb that was newly excavated a year ago.

It has a unique shape, with eight striped edges and corners. The body is grayish-white and delicate, the glaze is bluish-yellow, and the glaze surface has fine crackles. The body is fully glazed inside and out, with the foot exposed, and the body and glaze are tightly bonded. Each of the eight edges is carved with rare and lifelike flying beasts. The vase was covered in exquisite floral decorations. It was said to be a product of the official kiln during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, originally intended for use by the royal family. Few Tang Dynasty artifacts remain in China today, and this vase is said to be one of only two in the entire country, highlighting its rarity.

"Do you think it's beautiful?" Xiao Chong asked Qi Feier, pointing at the vase and raising his hand for the first time. "Three million!"

"Not really. If I had to spend three million on a vase, I'd rather spend an extra million on a top European designer evening gown!"

"Really? I'm sure that kind of evening gown would arouse my desire in you!" Xiao Chong said, raising his hand again, instantly increasing the bid from three million six hundred thousand to four million.

"You're going to kill me! An evening gown can make you... it's not like it's lingerie!" Qi Feier slapped his hand shyly.

“In my eyes, Fei’er is the most beautiful. I like her no matter what she wears. Of course, if I see an evening gown like that, I will definitely buy it for you, even if the price is…” Xiao Chong said, then raised his hand and shouted, “10 million!”

“Wow!” The whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone was enjoying their bidding, but this kind of businessman who uses his money to hurt others was really hurtful. Everyone fell silent.

“Ten million for the first time!” The auctioneer brought down the gavel.

The audience was silent. Who had that much spare money to buy a vase?

“Ten million for the second time!” The auctioneer brought down the gavel a second time.

Seeing Longxing’s CVO’s determined look, no one dared to bid again, even though the vase was worth more than ten million.

“Ten million for the third time, sold!” After the auctioneer’s third hammer, the vase was finally sold.

The blue and white porcelain Tang Dynasty nine-color octagonal seven-beast vase was sold, which was also the highest-priced item among the auctioned items. Reporters from various media outlets came forward to interview Xiao Chong and Qi Fei’er.

"Fei'er, it's time for you to make your mark in public!" Xiao Chong whispered in Qi Fei'er's ear, then pushed her in front of the reporters, saying, "Excuse me, everyone, I need to make payments. If you have any questions, please ask our Longxing CFO, Ms. Qi Fei'er!" He then walked away, ignoring the frantic Qi Fei'er.

After the payments and other matters were settled, the vase finally ended up in Xiao Chong's hands.

"Kid, you've really struck gold this time! You've got a vase worth twenty million!" a small business owner said sourly to Xiao Chong, who was holding the vase.

"What? You're not happy about it?" Xiao Chong's arrogance did indeed resemble that of a smug little man.

At this moment, the boss's secretary whispered a few words in his ear, clearly informing him of Xiao Chong's identity. The boss immediately changed to a fawning expression and said to Xiao Chong, "Oh, so you're the CVO of the renowned Longxing Group! My apologies! Such a fine antique belonging to you is truly well-deserved! Congratulations!"

"Tch~~" The onlookers thought they were about to see a good show, but it turned out to be just another tired cliché. Just as they were about to leave, a scene unfolded that nearly made their eyes pop out of their sockets.

"Do you really like it?" Xiao Chong asked the boss, pointing to the vase in his hand.

"I do like it quite a bit, but it's yours now!" the boss said regretfully.

"If you like it, then... let me show you!" Xiao Chong said, tossing the vase to the boss without hesitation.

"Really?" The shopkeeper reached out excitedly to catch it, but the vase, which was flying right in front of him, suddenly lost its momentum and plummeted downwards, like a woman determined to die for her cause. The shopkeeper, before he could even react, made a swift, dog-like lunge to save it, but like a Brazilian goalkeeper conceding a goal, he missed completely. (

Revenge Chapter 43: The Unavoidable Gift -

The vase landed and shattered!)

The boss's expression was worse than death, on the verge of tears... tears were already welling up in his eyes. He lay quietly on the ground, summarizing his life so far. He admitted to peeping at women relieving themselves in the outhouse at eleven, to harassing respectable women on the street at seventeen, and to having indeed visited prostitutes and contracted a sexually transmitted disease at twenty-five. But surely he shouldn't be suffering this much? This was a ten-million-dollar vase!

He looked around; everyone's gaze and expressions told him: You're finished... finished!

"I didn't mean to!" the small boss pleaded, tears streaming down his

face. The crowd looked at him strangely, knowing without a doubt that they were thinking: You didn't mean to, you did it on purpose!

"Forget it, stop crying, it's just a vase!" A voice like Buddha descending to save him rang in his ears. Looking up, he saw it was the CVO of Longxing Group.

After saying this, before the boss could even express his gratitude, Xiao Chong pulled Qi Fei'er out of the convention center, leaving a group of stunned people still unable to process what had happened!

Ten million! Just for a vase? That's fucking ridiculous!

The reporters, snapping out of their daze, quickly grabbed their cameras and chased after him. This was an incredible story.

Xiao Chong drove slowly along the road.

He'd just lost ten million, but he didn't complain, didn't fly into a rage, and didn't even feel a little…sad. Instead, he whistled like he'd won the lottery!

"You did it on purpose!" Qi Feier finally blurted out.

"Oh?" Xiao Chong, still carefree like a scoundrel, responded, then whistled again at the beautiful woman who had just passed by his car.

"This is your gift to Zhu Jiuzhang!" Qi Feier said confidently.

"Oh?"

"I thought you'd think of some way to give him the vase, but I didn't expect you to use such a crazy and direct method!"

"Hehe!" Xiao Chong chuckled noncommittally.

“Now, even I have to admire you!” Qi Feier gave Xiao Chong a deep look.

“…”

Still confused? Let me explain.

Gold is precious because it is rare. Diamonds are more precious than gold because they are even rarer. Antiques are even more precious than diamonds because they are even rarer.

That broken vase was a piece from the Tang Dynasty official kiln. After changing hands several times, only two remain in the world. One is the one that was just broken, and the other is in a safe in a hidden compartment in Zhu Jiuzhang's basement.

Antiques are precious because they are rare, but even more important is their uniqueness! A year ago, before this vase appeared on the market, when only Zhu Jiuzhang had one, this blue-and-white porcelain Tang Dynasty nine-color octagonal seven-beast vase was worth about 40 million. But a year later, after it was unearthed and appeared on the market, it was worth at most 20 million, because it was no longer unique.

Back then, a unique Guyanese stamp sold for a million dollars, touted as one of a kind in the world. What happened? Not long after, a similar stamp was released, causing its value to plummet. The stamp's owner, wealthy and powerful, simply bought the second stamp, rolled it in a cigar, and burned it to ensure the value of his unique piece.

Then, a blue-and-white porcelain Tang dynasty octagonal vase with seven beasts appeared, instantly devaluing his collection by over twenty million dollars. Whether Zhu Jiuzhang was generous or stingy, he was furious. However, given his high position, he didn't have that much money to buy the vase and smash it. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare show it—wouldn't he be afraid of being investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)? (This agency seems to be based in Hong Kong; whatever, that's the gist!)

Selling it, whether to smash it or keep it, was Zhu Jiuzhang's wish.

Similarly, whether to smash it or keep it, Zhu Jiuzhang had the desire but not the courage, and even if he had the courage, he lacked the ability.

When Xiao Chong saw the news at Zhang Huaqiang's house and heard that Zhu Jiuzhang owned such a vase, he didn't think much of it. However, when Qi Feier told him that there was also a similar item at a charity auction, Xiao Chong decided to bribe Old Zhu. He wanted to give a gift, and one that Old Zhu couldn't refuse. He could refuse the favor, but he would have to accept the gift. Xiao Chong's idea was extremely malicious.

Not everyone in the world knew that Zhu Jiuzhang had such a vase. Even if the whole world knew, and knew that Xiao Chong smashed the vase as a gift, so what? Could the public security, procuratorate, and courts inflate his ego? Could the world condemn him for giving a gift to a high-ranking official? At most, they could only say that he had too much money to burn! To put it more nicely, it was an accident!

In any case, this act was absurd and crazy. Zhu Jiuzhang and Zhang Huaqiang were both shocked when they saw the news report on TV. This kid was too clever for his britches.

Zhu Jiuzhang was an upright man; otherwise, how could he have become such a close friend of Zhang Huaqiang? He had never accepted bribes. Although he cherished the jade bowl given to him by Long Nan, he handed it over to his superiors the very next morning, despite the excruciating pain in his heart. However, he couldn't return the gift Xiao Chong had given him. He would have to smash his own bowl to be even! But was he that foolish? He desperately wanted to pretend he knew nothing, that nothing had happened, but that would require him to suppress his conscience.

Whether he liked it or not, he owed Xiao Chong a tremendous favor, a feeling that was both painful and joyful. His feelings were incredibly complex, so he decided to see Zhang Huaqiang's godson again.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhu!" These were Xiao Chong's first words to Zhu Jiuzhang, sincere and heartfelt.

"Huh? You could have pretended in front of me! You could have acted like nothing happened! Even if I asked, you could have said someone broke it by accident!" Xiao Chong's eagerness to admit his mistake surprised Zhu Jiuzhang!

"No, I did mean to please you, I know you don't like it, I know I was wrong!" Xiao Chong said, still looking down, like a child who had done something wrong.

Zhu Jiuzhang stared at him for a long time, finally sighing and saying, "Sit down, would you like some Pu'er tea or Tieguanyin?"

"Just give me a glass of plain water!" Xiao Chong said cautiously.

"Kid, you weren't pretending just now, but now you're putting on an act! Don't worry, I'll just spank you a couple of times for your grandpa, I won't kill you! Say it again? What do you want to drink!" Zhu Jiuzhang's expression finally softened.

"Then I'll have Tieguanyin, the best quality, the finest tender tips, brewed after the spring rains, and with water from a rootless source. Otherwise, just give me a glass of plain water!" Xiao Chong thought to himself, "I'm not putting on airs, I'm just afraid you old man can't handle this!

" "Hmph! You're quite picky, kid!" A hint of approval flashed in Zhu Jiuzhang's eyes. He understood tea, and he understood the art of tea.

"..." Xiao Chong just smiled, his pickiness tinged with a kind of gentleness.

After the tea was served, Zhu Jiuzhang asked again, "Kid, did your old fox grandfather teach you this way of giving gifts?"

Xiao Chong frowned and retorted, "Uncle Zhu, knowing my grandfather as you do, would he teach me that?"

"Haha, good answer! Someone like your grandfather would never teach you such underhanded tactics! Now let me ask you, do you think that by giving me a gift, you'll definitely get the military pharmaceutical project?" Zhu Jiuzhang asked.

"Uncle Zhu, do you want to hear the truth?" Xiao Chong poured himself a cup of tea, then refilled Zhu Jiuzhang's cup and asked.

"Nonsense, of course I want to hear the truth!"

"But the truth isn't pleasant to hear, don't get angry!"

"Stop nagging, just say it!"

"Okay, actually... giving gifts wasn't my intention. I never planned to give you any gifts at all. It was just that my subordinates forced me to do it. This is the first time, but I believe it will be the last!"

"Then I'm very fortunate?" Zhu Jiuzhang sneered, then said in a deep voice, "Stop beating around the bush, just get to the point!"

"Alright! I didn't plan to give you gifts because I felt that this deal was tailor-made for Longxing. No other pharmaceutical group besides Longxing has this capability! Perhaps there are, but they are not within your consideration!"

"Oh? What makes you so confident? Based on your capabilities? Well, I have to admit that your comprehensive insurance capabilities are indeed quite good, but you just merged, and your management mechanism is not yet perfect. Longji has been a leading pharmaceutical company for decades, so aren't they more ideal? Moreover, their quoted price is much lower than yours! And Harbin Pharmaceutical Group is also quite strong."

"Hehe, Uncle Zhu was just joking with me. Harbin Pharmaceutical Group is nothing, and Longji? Want to do military pharmaceutical business? Don't even think about it. You would never consider them, even if their prices were so low they'd break even or lose money!"

"Are you so sure?" Zhu Jiuzhang's face was already sweating, because he understood what was going on!

"Yes, Uncle Zhu probably knows what I'm going to say! Yes, even if Longji's prices are lower, and their overall strength is several times greater than ours, it's useless! Because they're not a sole proprietorship, they're a joint venture, a Sino-foreign joint venture, and the 'foreign' isn't just any country, it's Japan! If it were any other business, I wouldn't say they couldn't afford it, but when it comes to military medicine and pharmaceuticals, I don't think any Chinese person would feel comfortable entrusting the medical supplies and equipment used by the military to a company with Japanese involvement!" Xiao Chong said with utmost seriousness.

"You hit the nail on the head, kid. It seems you're going to ruin Longji! They don't realize this problem and even gave me gifts, it's ridiculous!" Zhu Jiuzhang poured tea for Xiao Chong for the first time.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Xiao Chong's words of thanks had two meanings: first, he thanked them for the tea, and second, of course, he thanked them for the military pharmaceutical business that had fallen into Longxing's lap!

"Longji Ginseng has foreign investment, that's understandable, it's necessary for economic development. Japan or the United States aren't the key issues. The key issue is that this foreign investment is involved with foreign criminal gangs, which makes them something we must suppress..." Zhu Jiuzhang seemed to realize he had said something he shouldn't have, and suddenly changed his tone, saying, "I've been restless since I accepted your gift. Alright, I'll help you out. Recently, a giant cargo ship almost sank in Typhoon Egg."

"This—" Xiao Chong was about to ask when Zhu Jiuzhang waved his hand, interrupting him, "Well, as people get older, they go to bed very early. I'm a bit tired, you should go back. You can come visit often when you have time. Let's not talk about business or national affairs. I'm still very willing to chat with you. By the way, next time you come, bring that clueless little girl from last time!" "

..." Xiao Chong was a little dumbfounded. Everyone could see that Sun Shanshan was clueless, except him. Could it really be as Yuan Datou said, that she ate too much lard and it clouded her eyes!

In Chapter 44 of the Revenge Volume,

an unexpected incident occurred. Upon returning to Longxing, Xiao Chong immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate the cargo ships that had been at sea during Typhoon "Egg"'s devastation of the Asia-Pacific region. The cargo carried had to be related to medicine, and most importantly, it had to be connected to Longji. With

such a narrow focus, news arrived within ten minutes: a 10,000-ton cargo ship bound for China from Japan had docked at Daya Bay that morning. However, it was still uncertain whether it belonged to Longji. So far, this was the only ship to have docked, and unloading was still underway.

Xiao Chong immediately wanted to investigate, but then changed his mind. He was now a celebrity, easily recognized wherever he went. Zhang Sanfeng was out of the question, and Shuangxi was even less likely to be recognized—these were all well-known figures in the newspapers. The only viable options were Zhang Zhijie and Wu Yueyang. However, Xiao Chong was somewhat worried about their abilities; they were notorious for being more trouble than they were worth. Yet, when these two arrived, they pounded their chests and guaranteed, even swearing on their backsides (Xiao Chong liked to kick them). Heaven knows, their enthusiasm stemmed mainly from the prospect of an extra month's bonus upon completion of the task.

It wasn't entirely reliable, but Xiao Chong ultimately agreed! There was no other way; everyone else was busy. Talented individuals like the big, clumsy Xiao Pang Wula were now spinning like tops. In Long Xing and even Long Xin, only Zhang and Wu were truly free. Xiao Chong didn't trust anyone else to do this task, and while these two were undeniably lazy, they were still reliable. However, before setting off, he still gave them a long, nagging explanation.

Zhang and Wu left Xiao Chong's office with their ears nearly inflamed. Before leaving, they decided to first go to a high-class restaurant to satisfy their famished stomachs. After all, today's meals were reimbursable, and besides, they were going to be playing the role of laborers; how could they work without a full stomach?

"Why is he so long-winded? He's made such a simple thing complicated, insisting on buying props and putting on makeup. All we're doing is figuring out what's on that ship!" Wu Yueyang pulled out a piece of yellow earwax, flicked it with his two fingers with a "clink," and it landed far away on the back of a woman in an off-the-shoulder dress. Before she could react, he put his hands in his pockets. He had no doubt about the power of her groin kick.

The woman was in her thirties, her face covered in rouge and powder, her lips painted redder than a monkey's bottom, her clothes revealing and provocative—she was clearly not a good person, no, definitely not a good one!

The woman felt a chill on her back, reached back, and found a piece of yellow, sticky, shiny earwax on her hand. She smelled it; it had a fishy, foul odor. She glanced suspiciously at the two of them, but Wu Yueyang quickly pretended not to see anything.

“没办法，人上了年纪总是有点毛病的，他老婆二奶一大群，那么多女人轮流折腾他，典型的未老先衰，咱们别跟他一般见识了！”张志样说着也终于挖出了一团黑黑的鼻屎，弹指神通一展，不偏不倚的落到了女人的脸上。

这场面精彩了，女人早就怀疑是两人在捣鬼，所以一直盯着他们，这会抓奸在脸上，她还不发飙，指着张吴二人大骂：“你们这两个狗东西，是不是不想活了！”尖锐的嗓子透着无比杀伤力，吴越洋刚掏干净的耳朵好像又长了一层东西。

张志杰有点慌了，喊：“误会！误会！”

女人直接就把眼前的萝宋汤泼到了他的脸上，指着他大骂：“我误会你ｍｂ，我眼睁睁看着你的鼻屎飞过来的！”

“狗日的，你再嚷嚷老子揍你！”吴越洋经常用下半身思考问题，而遇了问题通常都是用暴力来解决！

This was a high-class Western restaurant, and with everyone watching, if he dared to make a move, he'd be in deep trouble!

But most of the people in the restaurant shamelessly chanted in their hearts, "Fight! Fight!"

The crowd was in a frenzy, their fighting spirit high.

"A good man doesn't fight with a woman—especially not a CZO!" Zhang Zhijie was sensible enough to know that in this situation, in this place, violence wouldn't solve anything. Violence should only be used when the woman was out in a back alley!

He was a little impressed; CZO: the last person to leave the company. And she dared to bring that up.

The woman, though she didn't understand what CZO was, had heard of CEO, and sneered, "You, with your cat-like appearance, call yourself a CZO? You'd be a 'cao'! Damn it!"

Zhang Zhijie had been an official and frequented prostitutes; he knew that a woman like this in this place was nothing more than trying to hook up with a rich guy—at best, she was just a high-class prostitute. So he retorted, "If I'm a 'cao,' then you're a 'ji.' If I stand with you, not only will it insult my character, but people will also think we're doing something illegal!"

Cao? Ji? Everyone was a little confused, but then they almost fainted. Cao a prostitute? Wouldn't that be buying and soliciting prostitution?

No wonder he came from a background of writing fantasy novels, his eloquence is indeed first-class. He verbally fucked a woman for free and then called her a prostitute.

The woman got a little agitated and pointed at Zhang Zhijie, yelling, "Your mother is the prostitute! Your mother is the prostitute!"

Wu Yueyang wasn't good at swearing, but he'd sweared a lot and listened to DJs sing a lot, so he whipped out a hastily learned HT-hop tune: "Don't yell if someone's right, your big pussy is fat and wide, it can run on airplanes and ships, three thousand Japanese soldiers came to visit, one pussy crushed two thousand three. The remaining seven hundred tried to escape, one pussy hair knocked them all down. After the war, your big pussy made a great contribution, the government rewarded the two husbands, you were so happy your pussy was babbling, I want it, I want it, I want it..."

The crowd started to tremble, while Wu Yueyang laughed heartily.

The woman went crazy, and the scene became a little chaotic, but everyone managed to control themselves and a fight didn't break out, much to the disappointment of the onlookers.

At this moment, another unexpected thing happened, a waiter, oblivious to the situation, went up to the woman and said, "Miss, this is a restaurant, it's not allowed to just drink tea without ordering food." The woman

was a little stunned. She hadn't planned to pay for her own meal, but after all that flirting, no man had offered to be a gentleman, and she'd even encountered two unhygienic guys. After a moment's thought, she blurted out, "I'm waiting for someone! I'll order when they arrive. Can't I even wait until everyone's here before ordering?"

The waiter knew she was lying, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he called out, "Don't make a scene! Don't make a scene! This is a high-class Western restaurant; please don't disturb our harmonious dining atmosphere!"

Before the three arguing people could speak, the onlookers had already given the waiter the middle finger: "Harmony my ass!"

They were enjoying the argument, and this waiter was just getting in the way. Was he related to Cheng Yaojin?

The waiter's face turned green: "Please maintain civilized language in this restaurant."

Everyone shouted in unison, "Civilized my ass!" "

The waiter was really something else, he was so angry he trembled twice and started calling security.

The indignant diners seemed about to come to blows with the waiter and security, and the scene became chaotic, leaving the three arguing men out of the picture.

The three stood there awkwardly, wanting to argue again but feeling the time and energy were no longer right. After exchanging glances for a while, they had no choice but to quietly leave, as the other diners had already started fighting with the security guards.

Zhang Zhijie and Wu Yueyang left the restaurant, seeing that it was getting late, and quickly hailed a taxi to Daya Bay Wharf. Before even entering the wharf, they saw two homeless men squatting on the ground, searching for cigarette butts. Their clothes were dirty and disheveled. Zhang Zhijie immediately had an idea, because he remembered Xiao Chong's repeated instructions before he left: 'Think before you act, don't resort to violence; adapt to the situation!'

He walked over and threw two Furongwang cigarettes to the two homeless men. (This book is reprinted from a literary website.) 'Brothers, may I ask your name?'"

The two homeless men's eyes lit up at the sight of the cigarettes, and they hurriedly took them. One of them said, "No problem, no problem! My name is Rogue Fish, and his name is Snowfall Whereabouts. We're both writers, online authors!" Zhang

Zhijie was shocked. Weren't these two popular writers from the urban channel? They were his idols! How did they end up here? "Why have you two great writers fallen to this state?"

Snowfall Whereabouts lit his cigarette with the blue flame of Zhang Zhijie's pure gold lighter, took a deep drag, and sighed, "Alas, there's nothing we can do. There are too many people reading pirated posts these days, and the vote-rigging gangs are powerful. We used to be doing quite well, but Seventeen's backers are all useless. We used to be platinum-level writers with annual salaries of millions, but in the end, we've ended up like this!" "

Rogue Fish also wailed for a while. The two great authors, reflecting on their past experiences, finally broke down in tears. Zhang Zhijie comforted them for a long time before they stopped crying. "Don't be discouraged, you two. I love online novels and I've studied websites. The boss of Seventeen is very powerful. As long as you persevere, I believe you will definitely become million-follower platinum authors again!"

"Really?" Hope rekindled in the eyes of the two authors.

"Really! I love reading your books too. I've been following them all along. I was wondering why you two had stopped updating recently. Turns out you two came here to cool off!" Zhang Zhijie paused and offered two cigarettes, saying, "How about this, you two, I'm having some difficulties right now. If you can help me, I'll ask all the employees of Longxing Group to subscribe to your books, okay?"

"How many people are in your group? It's not just your two shell companies, is it?" Xue Luo He Fang asked hesitantly.

"No! I can't guarantee 100,000 or 200,000, but adding 18,000 subscriptions is no problem!" "Zhang Zhijie said, handing them the pack of cigarettes he was holding. "Besides, the favor I need from you is very simple!"

"What favor?"

"We'll swap clothes with you two!" Zhang Zhijie quickly said.

"You mean swap your Seven Brand and Old Man's suits for our two outfits?" said the hooligan fish.

"Yes, do you like them?" Zhang Zhijie asked.

"Yes!" the two said in unison.

Revenge Chapter 45 The Psychopath

Three minutes later, the two men in suits left somewhat sleazy, while the two men who looked like vagrants headed straight for the dockside moving department!

The foreman of the moving department saw the two vagrants and shooed them away: "Go away, go away, go cool off somewhere else, can't you see we're busy? Why are you causing trouble here!"

"Brother, we're not here to cause trouble, we're here to look for work!" "One of the homeless men said, 'Who else could this be but Zhang Zhijie?'

Wu Yueyang quickly chimed in, 'Yes, yes, brother, please have some compassion! We haven't eaten for days!'

Hearing this, Zhang Zhijie was exasperated. They were here to ask for work, not to beg for food. How could they expect anyone to hire someone who hadn't eaten for days? Xiao Chong thought he was already incredibly stupid, but this guy was several levels dumber. Zhang Zhijie glared at him, wanting to yell, 'If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!'

The foreman had originally planned to hire the two men, but after hearing Wu Yueyang's words, he wavered. He was hiring porters, not clerks. How could they have the strength to work after days without food?

Zhang Zhijie saw through his hesitation and quickly covered for them, saying, 'We just met a kind old lady who gave us twenty leftover buns. Don't worry, we just ate; we have plenty of energy to work!' '

Is that so?'" "The foreman was a little tempted!

'It's you! Look at his arms, look at his legs!' Zhang Zhijie said, quickly rolling up Wu Yueyang's sleeves and trouser legs, revealing his handsome but impractical muscles.

The foreman glanced at Zhang Zhijie, then at Wu Yueyang, and pointed at him, saying, 'Alright then, he stays. You can go back!'

'Huh?' Wu Yueyang was a little dumbfounded.

Zhang Zhijie was even more dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that by selling someone else, he hadn't sold himself off as well. Shouldn't there be a buy-one-get-one-free deal?

'Brother, no, boss, look at my physique. Don't let my thin appearance fool you, I can carry a hundred pounds of rice up five flights of stairs in one go without breaking a sweat... How about this? I only want half the wages, you just give me half of his wages!'" "Zhang Zhijie pointed at Wu Yueyang and said to the foreman!

The foreman thought for a moment and finally nodded his picky head.

Zhang Zhijie was covered in sweat, but he had finally managed to get rid of the goods at a lower price.

The two of them were soon led by the foreman onto the giant ship that had come from across the ocean, where workers were busy unloading and loading the cargo.

The foreman simply pointed, and Zhang Zhijie and Wu Yueyang, quite sensibly, headed straight for the massive, damp warehouse.

The unloading work continued until 11 PM before finally showing signs of ending.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhijie had secretly pried open a wooden crate, knocked out a small piece of its contents, and quickly told Wu Yueyang, "Quickly take this back to the boss! I'll follow the container truck to see where they're going."

Before the unloading was even finished, Wu Yueyang swaggered away from the dockworkers' foreman, who was right in front of him. Instead of objecting, dissuading, or scolding him, the foreman seemed rather pleased. Of course, if you leave like this, I'll save on handling fees; only a fool would try to stop you! Once

outside the dock, Wu Yueyang quickly hailed a taxi and headed towards Longxing. However, just as he arrived in Longxing and was about to get out of the taxi, another unexpected event occurred—a minor but significant one: Wu Yueyang had no money on him!

Wu Yueyang searched all his pockets, but found nothing, not even a penny, let alone a single yuan. This wasn't his clothing; he'd already given the money for it to that online writer named Yu. Unfortunately, his wallet was also in the clothes. He shook his head helplessly and said to the driver, "Brother, I'm really sorry, I just gave away my wallet along with my suit. Look at this..."

The driver seemed dissatisfied with Wu Yueyang's actions and showed no sympathy. He simply gripped the steering wheel tightly, remaining silent, his cold gaze fixed on the embarrassed Wu Yueyang.

"Oh right, I remember I still had twenty yuan left in the cigarette pack for my own cigarettes." Wu Yueyang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had found a savior in a lost world. He hurriedly reached for his cigarettes, but after a while, he realized that the pack of Furongwang cigarettes that Zhang Zhijie had given to the two big shots was his own. He suddenly understood why Zhang Zhijie, who was usually stingy, had been so generous just now. It turned out that he was spending other people's money without any sense of shame. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at the driver: "Boss, I'm really sorry, I gave the cigarettes to someone else too."

"Young man, why don't you take the bus? It's only one yuan, spacious and cheap. For a young man of your social class, that kind of enjoyment is not bad, is it? If you don't have money, why do you have to take a taxi like others? Is it so easy to ride a free taxi?" The driver sighed and continued: "Forget it, forget it, I guess I'm just unlucky today. As the saying goes, time is money. Please get off the bus quickly, my wife and children at home are waiting for me to earn money to cook."

"Hey, driver, could you please stop being so arrogant? What do you mean by 'young people of my social class'? What do you mean by 'no money, so you have to take a taxi'? What do you mean by 'riding for free'? It's just twenty yuan! You're really looking down on me! Let me tell you, I work here in Longxing, and I'm a high-level manager!" Although Wu Yueyang's character wasn't great, he couldn't stand being looked down upon, especially by the sarcastic and humiliating manner of the other person. Seeing that face reminded him of Xiao Chong

, who always looked down on him. But his words and his attire were completely out of place; it was really hard to convince anyone!

"Come on, you! You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror! Get lost! I still have fares to make!" the driver said impatiently.

"Damn it, have you never seen money before? It's just twenty yuan! You wait!" Wu Yueyang said, unlocking the door and kicking it open with a bang. Seeing his actions, the driver was heartbroken, wishing he could chop off his legs to vent his anger.

Wu Yueyang got out of the car and ran to the front, saying to the driver, "You shrewd jerk, you better watch out! I'm calling Longxing's CVO to come pick me up!"

"Hmph!" The driver snorted disdainfully, not in a hurry to leave, wanting to see if he would make a fool of himself or become a laughingstock!

"Ouyang Chong—" Wu Yueyang made a megaphone shape with his hand and shouted hoarsely towards the hundred-story building, and immediately his pig-like screams echoed throughout the entire building.

Although it was nearly midnight, Guangcheng was a city that never sleeps. Even before 3 a.m., people were still coming and going. Curious glances fell on Wu Yueyang. His indignant tone suggested a challenge, especially since he was calling for the infamous Longxing Boss. It seemed there was going to be a good show. Passersby stopped to watch, but all he could manage was three words, utterly lacking in sophistication. He couldn't even string together a proper shout; it was truly pathetic.

Actually, Wu Yueyang really wanted to add "Fuck your mother" after Ouyang Chong's name, but he didn't because Shen Xue might be upstairs. If he didn't want next year's anniversary to be his death anniversary, he'd better behave himself!

"Stop howling! Aren't you ashamed!"

A cold shout came from afar. Xiao Chong walked out of the Longxing Building, his face terribly grim! Those who knew Xiao Chong quickly moved away, while those who were shouting fervently showed sympathy for Wu Yueyang, hoping his skin was tough enough to withstand a beating.

"You've finally arrived! I've finally found my people!" Wu Yueyang's excited expression was like that of a long-lost child finally finding his father.

"What is it?" Xiao Chong asked impatiently. If it weren't for the busy road, he would have kicked him to the north with a Foshan Shadowless Kick.

"Lend me some money so I can pay the fare!" Wu Yueyang said in a low voice.

Xiao Chong didn't bother to ask, simply tossed him his wallet and turned to leave. But the cold look in his eyes before he turned away was enough to chill Wu Yueyang's heart for a long time. He was already at the Longxing gate, and there were security guards there, who recognized him. Borrowing a thousand or so might be difficult, but borrowing a hundred or so would be a piece of cake. Why did he have to run down from the ninety-something floors to meet him for such a small thing? (He really did run; the elevator was broken!)

The moment Wu Yueyang took the wallet and turned to open the driver's door, he looked more like a smug little devil than a sadist. "Damn it, did you see that? Isn't that the CVO of Longxing Group?! Didn't he come down in person?! Damn it, after all these years, I've finally managed to play the role of a homeless person today, and I run into a pervert like you! Here, keep the change, the extra money is for you to buy eye drops!"

Wu Yueyang pulled out a Red Bull, crumpled it up, and threw it onto the driver's steering wheel. He looked incredibly arrogant and smug! (If the RMB protection law were strictly enforced, he could easily spend several days in jail doing this!)

After his outburst, Wu Yueyang slammed the car door shut with satisfaction. As he turned around, he didn't forget to throw a comment at the driver: "Damn it, remember never to judge people with prejudice. No one in this society is inferior to you, a mere car slave!"

"Crazy!" The driver gave him a cold glance, stepped on the gas, and disappeared into the gray night.

Chapter 46 of the Revenge Volume: White Tiger

Wu Yueyang entered Longxing and saw Xiao Chong still sitting on the sofa in the lobby with a sour face. He quickly walked over with a grin. "Hehe, you're still here so late!"

Xiao Chong stood up, ready to throw him over with a swift side kick, but Wu Yueyang handed him something before he could move—Xiao Chong's wallet, but all the cash was already in Wu Yueyang's pocket.

"Hmph!" Xiao Chong angrily took the wallet and raised his foot again, but Wu Yueyang hurriedly handed him a white, condensed substance.

"What is this?" Xiao Chong stopped kicking and asked.

"We worked hard, like beasts of burden... and went through a lot of trouble to find it on that ship!"

"Where's Xiao Jie?" Xiao Chong asked again.

"He said he went with the container to see where the cargo was being transported!"

"Oh, is that so? Okay then! You've had a long day, go home and rest. I..." Xiao Chong said, opening his wallet to take out money, only to find that besides his cards and ID, there was nothing else inside. He was instantly enraged, his initial reluctance to beat him up reignited, his fists clenched tightly. But Wu Yueyang's next words completely quelled Xiao Chong's anger.

Seeing Xiao Chong's agitated expression, Wu Yueyang knew he was serious this time. It seemed he wouldn't escape a beating without his trump card, so he uttered the title Xiao Chong had been reluctant to use, yet it was the truth: "Brother-in-law!"

"What did you call me?" Xiao Chong was startled.

"Brother-in-law, did I call you wrong? My sister looks like a virgin all day, isn't it because you slept with her?" Wu Yueyang said in a deep voice!

"Uh..." Xiao Chong's response was very reluctant; he had indeed slept with his sister!

"Hehe, although you've been ruthless to me and always acted so arrogant, being our brother-in-law isn't a disgrace. So, we're practically family, right? I just gave away my wallet along with my clothes, but it was all to complete your mission, so it's only right that I took a little bit of yours. I'm doing this for you..." Wu Yueyang went on and on.

"Alright, go back!" Xiao Chong was too lazy to listen to his rambling anymore, so he took the solidified substance and entered the elevator!

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Wu Yueyang pulled out the banknotes from his pocket and jumped up, cheering: "Yeah! Tonight I can go find a prostitute for a full-service package!"

Seriously despicable, this kind of person who sells his sister!

Xiao Chong entered the elevator and initially wanted to press the 99th floor, but after thinking about it, he pressed the 87th floor instead. He had glanced up at the building from the outside when he came down, and besides the 99th floor where he was, the 87th floor, the pharmaceutical analysis department, still had lights on. He wondered who would be up there so late? Were they working overtime tonight? It seemed like there wasn't anything urgent to do! Filled with questions, he decided to investigate.

Reaching the 87th floor, Xiao Chong entered the office and discovered the light wasn't coming from the main office area, but from the lounge on each floor. The lounge was for employees to relax when they were tired; it contained sofas, coffee tables, televisions… a multi-functional space.

When Xiao Chong went in, he found no one there, but there was a bulging duffel bag on the sofa, and the sound of running water coming from the restroom. Without thinking, Xiao Chong opened the restroom door and went in. Immediately, a erotic scene unfolded before his eyes.

A voluptuous woman stood naked under a showerhead, her brows relaxed in the rare moment of relaxation. Her straight nose, large eyes, and delicate eyebrows were endearing, and her small, cherry-like lips were alluring. Her eyes were slightly closed as she tilted her head back to enjoy the warm water, seemingly savoring it.

Warm water flowed down her fair, rosy cheeks, wetting her long, flowing hair. Slightly disheveled, her jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, a few strands playfully clinging to her cheeks. The lustrous black hair clung smoothly to her slender, elegant back. Warm water flowed down her neck, over her full breasts, like the gentle caress of a lover. Her smooth abdomen and slender waist shone even more brightly under the warm water, her full, pert buttocks and straight, long legs perfectly framing her figure—a captivating sight of curves, white skin, and rounded curves!

Black hair, a fair neck, rounded shoulders, slender arms, a soft back, a slender waist, pert buttocks, and full legs created a breathtaking picture of a beautiful woman bathing.

The water gurgled as the woman indulged in her pleasure, completely unaware that someone was stealing her kisses.

Xiao Chong, already mesmerized by the breathtaking scenery before him, simply stared blankly.

"Ah—" A scream rang out, and the woman involuntarily opened her eyes, only to find Xiao Chong standing in front of the door, drooling. He frantically tried to cover his private parts with his small hands, but while he could cover his upper body, he couldn't cover his lower body. He muttered, "You, you..."

"I, I..." Xiao Chong was brought back to his senses by the woman's scream, and realized that he had unknowingly become a shameless pervert.

A flurry of footsteps approached from afar. It was Longxing's security guards. Before they even got close, someone called out, "Miss Zhu, what happened?"

Hearing the voices, Xiao Chong quickly went inside, closed the door behind him, and covered the woman's mouth with his hand. He whispered to her, "Don't scream. I'm Ouyang Chong, Longxing's CVO! You should recognize me; there's a photo and introduction of me in the lobby on the first floor! I'll slowly release you now, please don't scream, okay?"

After a moment of panic, the woman weighed the situation and could only nod helplessly. In her heart, she thought, "I know you're the CVO, but does being a CVO give you the right to peep on people showering?"

At that moment, the security guards arrived outside the bathroom door.

"Miss Zhu, are you alright? Are you okay?" one of the guards knocked on the bathroom door.

Miss Zhu, her mouth still covered, looked up at Xiao Chong with a very resentful look. Even a security guard knows to knock, so why is the CVO so ignorant of etiquette?

Seeing this, Xiao Chong quickly let go of her hand. The woman then said to the security guards outside the door, "Uh, I'm fine, don't come in, I'm taking a shower! A cockroach just scared me!" She then glared at Xiao Chong resentfully, implying that the cockroach was him.

"Oh!" The security guards outside the door listened intently, their eyes lighting up. They winked at the other guards, who chuckled lewdly, already picturing a naked woman with a scurrying cockroach on her body.

The guards listened for a while, and seeing no further sound from inside except for the running water, they reluctantly left. They desperately hoped that this famously beautiful but strangely aloof ice queen would do something in the bathroom that would make them break down the door and catch a glimpse of her undressed beauty!

After the security guard left, the two men in the bathroom were utterly disheveled. In their haste, they had both forgotten to turn off the tap. Xiao Chong was now soaking wet, while he and the stunningly naked woman beside him were a perfect match.

"Mr. Ouyang, have you seen enough? If you have, can you leave now?" Ms. Zhu said coldly to Xiao Chong.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just saw the light and heard the sound of water, and I thought some employee had accidentally forgotten to turn off the tap, so..." Xiao Chong's explanation was weak and unconvincing; even he couldn't believe his own lame excuse! He couldn't explain why he had barged in; it was all just a series of coincidences.

"Could you please leave first?" Although the woman was known for her coldness, a blush crept onto her face at this moment. Being so naked, no amount of pretense could save her!

"Oh, okay! Sorry!" Xiao Chong said, quickly retreating, but as he closed the door, he couldn't help but take one last look at the incredibly tempting sight. He'd seen plenty of hairy beauties, but a completely hairless one was a first! Even

after leaving the bathroom, Xiao Chong couldn't help but exclaim: "White Tiger, so this is what it looks like! It's fucking amazing!"

Revenge Chapter 47: This Woman is Extraordinarily Difficult to Deal

With. When the woman came out dressed, she was surprised to see Xiao Chong still in the lounge. This man had taken advantage of her with his eyes and wasn't leaving? Was he thinking of paying? "What? You've seen everything you shouldn't have. Does Mr. Ouyang have any further advice?" Her voice was icy, a stark contrast to the weak and helpless woman she'd seen in the bathroom.

He had been thinking of giving him pointers in bed, but how could Xiao Chong possibly voice such a sordid thought? So, feigning composure, he said, "I do have something to discuss, but as your superior, may I ask you a few questions?"

"If it's business, I'm happy to answer; if it's personal, I'm sorry, I can't tell you!" the woman coldly retorted. She didn't need to guess what Xiao Chong wanted to ask; it was simply, "Why are you still at the company so late?" If she had somewhere else to go, why would she be all alone here? Back home, her younger siblings, older brothers, older sisters, parents, and grandparents all depended on her meager salary. This heavy burden meant she never had enough to eat at night, and she also had to share a two-bedroom apartment with a female colleague. Tonight, it was her colleague's birthday, and her boyfriend was coming to celebrate. They were enjoying their cozy time together, and she couldn't very well be a third wheel. Although she had two or three hundred yuan, she couldn't bear to spend it on a thirty-yuan hotel, so she had to make do in the office's small break room for the night. She never expected to encounter such a reckless woman.

"Uh!" The woman's cold attitude made Xiao Chong feel somewhat lost. Already soaked to the bone and disheveled, her words only made him look more pathetic. But Xiao Chong was Xiao Chong; he'd never been afraid of anything, let alone a woman pretending to be strong. She quickly regained her composure and said, "It's just some business! May I ask your name? What are your responsibilities in the technical department?"

"I'm Zhu Xiaoyan, the head of the analysis group in the technical department. I'm mainly responsible for drug component analysis. What are your instructions, sir?" Zhu Xiaoyan spoke in a businesslike manner, her tone stiff and devoid of emotion.

Surrounded and pampered by beautiful women, Xiao Chong was very dissatisfied with the woman's attitude, but then he thought to himself: I'm not a hundred-dollar bill; I can't please everyone! Once he thought it through, he relaxed. "Since that's the case, I happen to have a sample on hand that I suspect is related to a drug. Could you analyze its components for me?" Xiao Chong said, handing her the condensed substance that still smelled of the sea.

"Please wait a moment!" The woman said, taking the sample and heading towards the laboratory, completely ignoring the soaking wet Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong smiled wryly. This woman was truly cold-blooded. If it were any other woman of his, she would have at least offered him a towel, let alone a set of clean clothes. But he hadn't forgotten one thing: Zhu Xiaoyu was just his subordinate, not his woman. So he went into the bathroom himself, took off all his wet clothes, grabbed a large dry towel and wrapped it around himself, then spread the wet clothes out on the rack and turned on the exhaust fan. He didn't know how long this woman would take; he hoped the clothes would be dry before she returned.

Xiao Chong went to the lounge and sat on the sofa, bored, reading the newspaper.

About forty minutes later, Zhu Xiaoyan returned. She was a little surprised to see Xiao Chong shirtless but didn't show much panic. Was it because she read it often? Or was she just too well-mannered? Xiao Chong couldn't guess.

"The analysis results you requested are in. It's a powdered anti-inflammatory drug, an essential ingredient in any antibiotic anti-inflammatory drug. In terms of purity, this powder is of inferior quality, even inferior to our group's substandard products!"

"Oh? Inferior quality means insufficient purity. So, with some purification, it should still be usable, right?" Xiao Chong frowned upon hearing this.

"That's not the key issue. If it were just a substandard product, without purification, it wouldn't have too many side effects as an antibiotic or anti-inflammatory drug. But now that it's been soaked in water, it's completely spoiled!" Zhu Xiaoyu's cold voice continued.

"Soaking in water spoils it? That can't be right! If the water is dried, it can still be used, right?" Xiao Chong asked doubtfully.

"Hmph! If it were fresh water, it would be fine, but the problem is that it was soaked in salty seawater. Seawater is strongly alkaline, while this dry powder is weakly acidic. The seawater has seeped into the dry powder, completely changing its pH value. If this dry powder is still used to make medicine, it can still have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, but the side effects will be even higher than chemotherapy drugs!"

"Ah? That's terrifying!" Don't be fooled by the fact that Xiao Chong has produced the frog anti-cancer drug; it's only nominal. In reality, the drug was developed by Tian Yueqing and Guo Shuihan through trial and error. But with his limited understanding of pharmacology, he still knows that radiotherapy drugs can cause hair loss, nausea, vomiting, thrombocytopenia, and a series of other side effects.

"Hmm! I'm just stating the facts. Mr. Ouyang, if you intend to use this powder to make medicine, I advise you not to ruin your reputation! It will only cause trouble for yourself and others! If you insist on doing so, as a law-abiding citizen and a scholar passionate about drug research, I will be the first to testify against you in court!" Zhu Xiaoyu said coldly.

"When did I say I was going to use it to make medicine? This stuff doesn't even belong to us!" Xiao Chong said unhappily. This arrogant woman was much more powerful than him!

"I was just giving a percentage! Only those whose thoughts have been exposed will fly into a rage. Otherwise, the innocent are innocent, and we'll walk our own path while others ride in Mercedes!" Zhu Xiaoyan said calmly.

Xiao Chong was speechless! Yes, the innocent are innocent. If you stand upright and sit honestly, why care what others say?

"Is there anything else?" Zhu Xiaoyan asked.

"That's all. Tomorrow, write a professional report for me based on what you just said, using this sample!"

"Okay, is there anything else?" Zhu Xiaoyan asked again.

"Please keep this confidential!"

"Okay, is there anything else?" Zhu Xiaoyan remained composed, as Xiao Chong's father would say: "A dead pig won't be afraid of being scalded by water.

" "Nothing else!"

"Really? I have something to say!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

Zhu Xiaoyan pointed to the large towel on Xiao Chong's body and said in a nonchalant tone, "This towel is my personal property. Please consult me before requisitioning it next time!"

Xiao Chong's face flushed red, then turned white, then green, then yellow, then pale... his expressions were quite varied, truly remarkable.

"How can you talk to your boss like that? Aren't you afraid I'll fire you?!" Xiao Chong was greatly displeased.

"Don't be afraid! Although you're the company's highest leader, you weren't the one who hired me. And for an employee of my level, firing me isn't something you can decide on your own! Even if you could, you'd better wait for my lawyer's letter, because I signed an employment contract before accepting your offer. Aside from other clauses, I specifically emphasized the clause about unreasonable dismissal. So firing me will not only involve a lawsuit, but also require you to compensate me for substantial losses! Please think twice before you act! I'm not advising you because I'm afraid of losing this job; with my abilities, several headhunting firms have already tried to poach me! I'm just trying to be helpful!" Zhu Xiaoyan said calmly. *

I'll curse you!* Xiao Chong finally couldn't help but curse under his breath. He had thought he was above everyone else in Longxing, that no one in the world could ever make him suffer. He never expected to be completely dominated by a woman. Judging from her speed and analytical skills, she was indeed a rare talent. To ease the tense atmosphere, Xiao Chong forced a laugh and said, "I was just joking!"

"Really? Then I'm very sorry to tell you, your joke wasn't funny at all! And I wasn't joking with you. Now, please return my personal belongings!" Zhu Xiaoyu said quite seriously.

"Now?" Xiao Chong was furious; his clothes were still hanging wet in the inner room!

"Hmph!" Zhu Xiaoyu gave a noncommittal hum.

Xiao Chong was completely defeated. This glamorous woman had a temper as foul as dog shit, which was unbearable. He was proud of having such a trait, but at the same time, he was annoyed to have met such an unfeeling woman: You know, I've dated more than a dozen girls, so why did I end up being rejected by one of them?

"Okay! Here you go!" Xiao Chong said, throwing the towel, reeking of his strong masculine scent, in front of her face. He quickly disappeared into the bathroom. Meeting a woman like this was truly the worst luck imaginable…

Revenge Chapter 48: Exposing the Dark Side

In the early hours of the morning, Zhang Zhijie returned to Xiao Chong, exhausted yet excited. His description was somewhat contradictory, but it was true.

"Boss, you don't seem to be in good spirits! What's wrong?" Zhang Zhijie asked, looking at Xiao Chong, who wasn't much better off than him, sitting behind his desk.

What else could it be? He was still angry at that big white tiger, Zhu Xiaoyan! Just thinking about that woman made Xiao Chong grit his teeth, and his lower body would become as hard as his teeth—a contradictory feeling, but the truth was undeniable! "Why all the rambling? Tell me what you did yesterday!"

This question was a bit too broad, and Zhang Zhijie thought for a while before finding a clue: "Yesterday, Wu Yueyang and I left your office and felt a bit hungry, so we found a Western restaurant to eat and drink on public funds... no, well, we were really hungry! Unexpectedly, we got into an argument with a woman over a booger, and ended up not eating. We rushed to the dock, where we unexpectedly met two online writers who had become homeless. After exchanging clothes with them, we applied for jobs as porters on that ship at the porterage department. Then, when the work was almost finished..." "Later, I had Wu Yueyang bring back a sample first, while I followed the container truck all the way to Longji's pharmaceutical factory. They put the dried powder into a large dryer and ground it into fine powder again, then put it into the production line in batches, processing it into medicine day and night. Around one o'clock, Long Nan also arrived. He came to supervise the work, and for some reason, he brought the woman we had argued with. In the factory office, Long Nan first drank a few bottles of wine with that woman, and then, when he was a little drunk, he started having sex. The place where I was hiding happened to be able to watch, and after I finished watching, I came back."

Xiao Chong frowned deeply as he listened. "Is there anything more specific and detailed?"

Zhang Zhijie thought seriously for a while before saying, "Yes... They were very passionate when they made love. The woman looked thin and frail when she was dressed, but she was quite voluptuous after taking her clothes off, and she had a lot of hair. You know, women with a lot of hair usually have a high sex drive, so she screamed very loudly during sex. Before they made love, they used the 69 position to clean each other up, and then when they started, they used various positions like 'Guanyin from Lotus,' 'Old Man Pushing the Cart,' and 'Half a Roasted Goose Leg'... There were also scenes of abuse. I guess you don't want to know which one was the abuser!"

Xiao Chong was very embarrassed and speechless. "...I really don't want to know!"

Zhang Zhijie was very regretful and sad. With his level of imagination, he could talk about this topic in great detail! He continued, "They did it four times in total, maybe a fifth, but I got a little tired after the fourth time. I suspect that guy was on drugs! The first time was relatively short; the woman gave Long Nan a deep throat and even vomited! But honestly, that woman's oral skills were unbeatable! The second time was ten minutes later; they did it for half an hour, a proper, head-on encounter! The third time was an hour later; this time it was a bit unusual, anal sex, and it didn't last as long as the first time. I counted, it only lasted five minutes. I guess it's because the woman's anus was tight! The fourth time was a bit unbelievable; that guy Long Nan actually did it from all three entrances, front, back, top, and bottom, for a full forty minutes. Damn it, it was quite a spectacle!" Zhang Zhijie licked his lips as he said this, clearly enjoying the experience.

"So you're saying you watched those two having sex all night?" Xiao Chong asked incredulously.

“That’s right, you know, I’ll definitely ensure the mission you assigned is completed smoothly and perfectly. Wu Yueyang didn’t go. If he had, given his fanatical love for voyeurism, we probably wouldn’t be back yet! Boss, do you need me to describe again that woman’s moans and expressions of ecstasy, her wanton resistance, her wantonness like a reincarnation of Pan Jinlian?” Zhang Zhijie was still savoring the memory.

Xiao Chong quickly shook his head. He already had enough women; he wasn’t lacking in this kind of stimulation. Besides, he believed that even if Zhang Zhijie’s descriptive abilities were strong, it couldn’t compare to the super-cold white tiger shower picture he had witnessed last night! "Do you have any information about that woman?"

Zhang Zhijie immediately asked. "She's probably not someone important. Wu Yueyang and I had a fight with her before, and judging from her foul language, she's not very educated. Judging from her clothes, her background isn't powerful either. And based on her passionate performance during sex, she's probably a high-class prostitute! Her measurements are 36-23-38, she's got a hot body, incredibly sexy! Is that enough information?"

"...Did you measure her with a ruler?" Xiao Chong rarely swore after becoming a public figure, but this time it was completely subconscious!

Zhang Zhijie was very proud: "My eye for women is no worse than Sun Wukong's golden eyes. No matter how good a woman's appearance is, I can see through her at a glance and accurately state her measurements. For example, the figure of that Chen Yunshi you're new dating..."

"Stop!" Xiao Chong was a little tired of being angry, but no matter what, he had no interest in discussing his woman's figure with others. "Did you take pictures of what you saw with your phone?"

Zhang Zhijie was taken aback by the question. "No, I was too excited!"

Xiao Chong froze, then angrily said, "I think you don't understand what I asked you guys to do last night!"

Zhang Zhijie, however, shamelessly smiled and said, "Boss, your words always have a profound meaning. How could we fully understand them in a short time..."

This work is exclusively published on 1...6knovel.com. Unauthorized reproduction or excerpting is prohibited. For more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit [website name]. Xiao Chong was so angry he was almost going crazy, just about to... Just as anger was turning into violence, Zhang Zhijie calmly said, "Besides, who still uses a mobile phone to take pictures these days? The focus is limited, and the pictures aren't clear. I'm used to using a DV camcorder!" As he spoke, he pulled out a pocket-sized DV camcorder, not much bigger than a mobile phone. He'd just bought it yesterday for 36,000 yuan—very expensive, but he didn't mind, because it was Xiao Chong's money…

Not long after Zhang Zhijie left, Xiao Chong was preparing to catch up on his sleep deprivation from the previous night when the icy beauty and white tiger-like woman arrived, holding a report. "Mr. Ouyang, this is the analysis report you requested!"

"Heh, you're really quick!" Although this woman couldn't win Xiao Chong's favor, her efficiency certainly impressed him.

"I have a bad temper, and I've offended my top boss. If I don't work harder, aren't I afraid of really getting fired?" Zhu Xiaoyan retorted sarcastically.

In short, Xiao Chong was utterly speechless...

That evening, the popular Guangdong TV program "Today's Frontline" aired a bombshell news story: The program's hotline received a tip from a citizen claiming that a large quantity of substandard pharmaceutical ingredients soaked in seawater had been discovered on a cargo ship. "Today's Frontline" reporters conducted an undercover investigation!

The footage immediately followed the undercover investigation (but this footage was exactly the same as the one filmed by Zhang Zhijie; did the reporter also go and film it?), showing everything from unloading and loading the cargo to entering Longji's pharmaceutical factory, from being ground into powder in the drying equipment to being processed and stored in the workshop—every frame was crystal clear!

Finally, "Today's Frontline" reporters interviewed relevant experts.

"This is a heinous incident; pharmaceutical ingredients soaked in seawater absolutely cannot be processed into medicine!" said a senior pharmacist.

"This is making money against one's conscience; pharmaceutical ingredients soaked in seawater processed into medicine can kill people!" commented a somewhat exaggerated medical school dean.

"...I'm sorry, we are still investigating this matter..." An official from the Guangdong Provincial Health Department did not directly answer the reporter's question.

This news, based on solid evidence and reported objectively, immediately sparked a strong reaction and widespread public discussion.

Longyao, a brand deeply loved by drug consumers and always claiming to be a "conscientious medicine maker," was found to be using inferior pharmaceutical agents soaked in seawater. This revelation exploded like a bombshell dropped into the hearts of the people.

The next day, newspapers and news media followed up with reports on the matter! Angry posts flooded the internet with various topics: "Longyao and Black Medicine Go Hand in Hand," "The Conscientious Medicine Maker Turns into a Black Medicine Maker," "The Shameless Merchant, Another Shameless Merchant"...

Chapter 49 of the Revenge Volume: Another Battle

Begins. Late that night, in an internet cafe,

two lewd men from Zuilu Academy were plotting something! These two were Wu Yueyang and Zhang Zhijie.

Zhang Zhijie and Wu Yueyang had always been loyal fans of pornographic websites, leaving their mark on every major pornographic website in the country, whether hacked, still operating, or newly established—following them closely was always their goal! However, behind their hard work, neither Zhang Zhijie nor Wu Yueyang had an unfillable void in their hearts: the pornographic images and candid photos were always blurry, especially the video recordings. QQ videos were always in slow motion, and candid videos were always poorly lit and partially hidden. The truly clear ones were fakes made by the Japanese. For Zhang and Wu, who pursued these as art, these things were far from satisfying.

Truly realistic, clear, and professional candid shots had never existed in the world. However, the video set shot by Wu Yueyang completely filled this domestic gap. Firstly, because of the high resolution of the DV camera; secondly, because of the clever hiding location; and of course, most importantly, because of the lighting! To enhance the visual impact, Long Nan turned on all the lights in the office, from the main lights to the desk lamps, fluorescent lights, and energy-saving lights.

At this time, Zhang and Wu were arguing endlessly about whether to spread these pictures online. They weren't afraid of others, but mainly afraid of Xiao Chong. Because he said, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future," he only gave the first half of the video to the reporter, which was bland and uninteresting and wouldn't attract any lecherous people.

Wu Yueyang's persuasion somewhat dispelled his doubts. "As a lecherous person, you must fight for the cause of lewdness for life. We must seek happiness for the lecherous people. What is Xiao Chong? We have hundreds of millions of compatriots supporting us. Can you bear to bury such a good video?"

Hundreds of millions? So you mean one in thirteen people in our country is a lecher! Wu Yueyang asked very quietly! Mainly because he was afraid of being hit by someone!

Wu Yueyang replied shamelessly, "Believe me, this world lacks everything, but it doesn't lack lecherous people! And as a representative of the lecherous people, I'm already so poor that all I have left is my sperm!"

Under Wu Yueyang's instigation and manipulation, Zhang Zhijie finally did something decent. Instead of replying, he posted! He uploaded the clip of Long Nan and that woman having sex!

The resulting sensation is too numerous to recount, but the common people were puzzled: how had everyone in the Long family become professional AV actors?

If Xiao Chong's contract scam severely damaged Longji's foundation, then losing the military pharmaceutical project deprived Longji of the capital to revive its former glory. This incident involving substandard and tainted pharmaceutical ingredients pushed Longji to the brink of death. And with Zhang and Wu's small push, Longji was plunged into the deepest abyss.

The pressure from the masses at Zuilu Academy was immense. Despite Long Nan's tireless efforts to pull strings and use back channels, Longji's pharmaceutical factory, once exposed, was still shut down. Longji's stock plummeted to its daily limit due to this series of events, and small shareholders, seeing the tide turning against them, withdrew their shares and left. For Longji, bankruptcy was the only possible outcome!

Long Nan was devastated. The once-powerful Longji Group was now an empty shell, utterly useless yet too valuable to discard. Reviving it was impossible without a massive injection of capital! However, having lost the support of its people, finding another investor was a pipe dream, requiring a dizzying amount of money.

At this point, Longxing's intervention was the logical next step. But Xiao Chong was too lazy to clean up the mess himself, sending Lao C instead! Lao C, with a barrage of sweet talk, threats, and inducements, acquired all of Long Nan's shares for a mere 100 million RMB.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Chong scoffed, saying disdainfully, "Hmph, just you wait! 100 million? You might get that money, but you probably won't live to spend it! You certainly won't escape unscathed!"

But before Xiao Chong could even begin his scheme, Long Nan was found dead in his villa, dismembered!

Xiao Chong was puzzled; who could have acted so swiftly? However, he quickly came to a realization. A scoundrel like Long Nan had offended many people; he'd be a short-lived wretch no matter who killed him. If he didn't die at home, it was

undoubtedly at the hands of the Japanese Yamada-gumi. Long Nan had used his karate skills to manipulate the Yamada-gumi, making them look like monkeys, but the promised shares were never transferred. Now that he had sold his shares, Longji was practically defunct, and he had nothing left to blackmail the Yamada-gumi. He was completely useless, and the treacherous Japanese wouldn't let him go. So, the moment Long Nan impulsively handed the shares to Old C, his fate was sealed.

Longji was essentially in Xiao Chong's hands; all he needed to do was acquire the remaining shares from the Japanese, and everything would be fine! As for how to bring Longji back to life, that wasn't Xiao Chong's concern. If he had to worry about everything, what would be the point of Longxing's top management? He could just do everything himself. So, he finally exercised his power as Longxing's CVO: returning to his sinecure and obediently returning to Longxin Hospital to fulfill his father's long-cherished wish of becoming an internationally renowned doctor.

Back at Longxing, Xiao Chong's days were fulfilling and comfortable. He treated patients and performed surgeries every day, and in his spare time, he farmed the land to contribute sperm for the glorious task of continuing the family line. He was quite content.

However, his comfortable days didn't last long before trouble struck again. Old C came to Xiao Chong looking dejected.

"What's wrong? Old C, why do you look like your father just died?" Xiao Chong teased Old C leisurely.

"There's trouble with the acquisition of Longji!" Old C sighed.

"What's wrong? Are the Japanese trying to raise the price?" Xiao Chong was startled. This was supposed to be a done deal, how could something unexpected happen?

"No! They specifically asked you to go to Japan to negotiate with them!" Old C said.

"Oh ho, these Japanese are really getting too big for their britches!" Xiao Chong said disdainfully.

"I think they're up to no good. They probably already see through our scheme to create the 'Dragon's Tale'!"

"Damn it, I'm not afraid of anything. I'll go, it's not like I haven't been before! I haven't settled things with them properly about the Hero Cup incident yet!"

"I think you should think twice before acting! The Yamada Group probably has ulterior motives!" Old C said worriedly.

"Stop nagging, Old C. When you pointed a gun at my head back then, you weren't this nagging!" Xiao Chong said impatiently.

"That was six years ago. Now I'm a bit old and faded!" Old C said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Lust? Old C, what do you mean by 'lust'? Don't insult our beautiful and profound language! Since you feel old, then... work for me for another thirty years and you can retire!"

"Damn! I'll be eighty by then!"

"Yeah! What would I keep you around at eighty? To retire you?"

"...You scum!"

"..."

Revenge Chapter Fifty On the Plane

Regarding the Longji shares, Xiao Chong had to fly to Japan alone. However, neither his parents nor his girlfriend were at ease, because Xiao Chong had almost lost his life in Japan during the last Hero Assault Cup. So Xiao Chong had no choice but to bring Shuangxi along.

Shuangxi was experienced and shrewd, and with him around, Xiao Chong's family and girlfriend were somewhat relieved, but they were still uneasy, with a vague sense of foreboding. However, Xiao Chong was no longer a child; he was a grown man, with a thick beard, and there was no reason to keep him by their side and prevent him from spreading his wings and soaring, even though there was a high chance he would crash and die.

On the plane, Xiao Chong and Shuangxi sat side by side.

"Senior brother, it's been so long since we walked side by side! Sitting here with you reminds me of our parachute training days in the army!" Shuangxi said with a sigh, then suddenly remembered something: "Hey, senior brother, don't you have a fear of flying?"

"Hehe, junior brother, that was years ago. Now, I wouldn't even dare to hijack a plane, let alone fly! But speaking of which, do you resent me for merging the Longxing Society into the Longxing New Group? Originally, I wanted to put you in the top position, but that wouldn't be fair to Hua Di, after all, he's made countless contributions to the Longxing Society's battles over the years. They're both my flesh and blood, it's difficult for me to put either of them in that position, so I simply merged them!"

"It's alright, senior brother, don't worry about it. Aren't I still the boss of Guangcheng? And as a high-ranking member of Longxing, I've become a high-level executive with shares, which is better than being in the underworld. Besides, fighting and killing isn't a long-term solution! But speaking of which, I have something to complain about with you!"

"What?"

"You single-handedly wiped out the Long family without a word, without even informing me beforehand! You could have at least let me play a minor role! Fighting these treacherous people is the real joy!"

"Haha, I thought you were talking about something else! Actually, the Long family brought it on themselves. I didn't put in much effort at all; I just provoked them a bit, and they turned on each other. At most, only five of them actually died at my hands!"

"Is that so? But that makes sense. Long Ma was an old man with no respect for his elders, and the children he raised were also twisted in their minds. Sooner or later, they would all turn against each other!" Xiao Chong

's grudge against the Long family was in the past, and he didn't want to discuss their tragic end too much. Although they were despicable, they were still living, breathing human beings. If it weren't for the deep-seated hatred, Xiao Chong wouldn't have been so cruel. So he changed the subject and said to Shuangxi, "Junior brother, this trip to Japan is dangerous. You'd better take care of yourself!"

"Oh?" Shuangxi looked at Xiao Chong with feigned confusion.

"Junior brother, are you deliberately trying to impress me?" Xiao Chong glanced at Shuangxi indifferently.

"Hehe, senior brother is indeed wise beyond compare. I only pretended for a moment, and you saw through me! My admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending..."

Xiao Chong impatiently interrupted him, "Stop talking nonsense if you're not waiting for food or drink. Tell me what I just meant!"

Shuangxi casually tossed his long, tousled hair before slowly saying, "This time, senior brother went to Japan, which can be described as sending a lamb to the slaughter! The Yamada Group in Japan should already know about your downfall of Longji. Even if they don't, they can guess it with their butts." "Damn it! Although their stake in Longji isn't large, it's still 10%. 10% might not seem like much to Longji now that it's been ruined, but when Longji was at its peak, those 10% were invaluable assets. Now, with your actions, Longji is finished, and they've lost a huge amount of money. It's like a 200-pound fat man suddenly becoming a 70-pound skinny guy in just a few months. Even if they want to withdraw their investment now, they'll lose everything! Do you think they wouldn't hate you? But that's just the underworld; there's also the legitimate world!"

"The legitimate world?" Xiao Chong frowned.

"Senior brother, your memory might be a bit off! Do you remember how many Japanese soldiers you killed in the last Heroic Assault Cup? As far as I know, half of them are still lying in the hospital. Those were the elite Japanese soldiers! Do you think the Minister of National Defense, who brought his elite troops to besiege us, will let you go after he finds out you went to Japan? They might not be able to do anything in China, but in Japan, it's a different story! To put it bluntly, once you go to Japan, you'll definitely become a target for both the police and the underworld!"

"That's true! Since you know it's so dangerous, why did you come?" "

Haha, senior brother, can't you see it now? I'm tired of playing the same old tricks with thugs. It's always the same old moves. I'm going with you to find some new ways to have fun!" Shuangxi chuckled.

"I knew you were a repressed pervert, unwilling to be alone!" A soft voice came from behind them!

The two were startled and quickly turned around to see a woman of unparalleled beauty and a cold, elegant demeanor sitting there.

"Wow, big boobs! I love it!" Xiao Chong's eyes gleamed, and at the same time, he felt the woman's face looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he'd seen her before.

"Xiao Zhi, why did you come along!" Shuang Xi exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Chong looked at the two's ambiguous gazes and felt a little uneasy. "What, do you know each other?"

"Senior brother, I'm sorry, this is my woman!" Shuang Xi was genuinely embarrassed; he really hadn't expected Xiao Zhi to come along.

"This work is exclusively published in text form on 16knovel.com. Unauthorized reproduction or excerpting is prohibited. For more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit [website name]. Hu Nao, do you think we're going sightseeing? What are you doing bringing a woman along!" Xiao Chong said somewhat angrily, mainly because such a beautiful woman had already been taken by his junior brother. A brother's wife is not to be trifled with; if you do, you'll be struck by lightning.

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I didn't know either!" Shuangxi said, turning his head and glaring at Xiaozhi. "Once we get to Japan, you'd better get back right now, or our friendship is over!"

Shuangxi didn't want to be so heartless, but he understood Xiaozhi's feelings for him. She had come along because she was worried about him! If he didn't act coldly, she probably wouldn't go back!

"You—" Xiaozhi was so aggrieved she couldn't speak. Her good intentions had been completely wasted.

"Shut up!" Shuangxi roared.

Xiaochong rarely saw Shuangxi so angry, so he advised, "Forget it, she's already here. Let her... take the first flight back home when she gets to the airport!"

This trip was no small matter, and having another person would be a burden. He had originally planned to go alone, but he couldn't resist his family and friends, so he had no choice but to bring Shuangxi along.

"Shuangxi, you should come back with me later. I can handle things here by myself!" Xiao Chong was a little annoyed that he hadn't clarified things before coming; otherwise, he wouldn't have come so unprepared! However, as he said, since he was already here, there was no point in making his brother take the risk for him.

"Senior brother, I..." Shuangxi was about to protest. The reason he scolded Xiaozhi so harshly was because he was afraid Xiao Chong would say that.

But Xiao Chong interrupted him, his face darkening, and said very seriously, "I've made up my mind!"

Shuangxi knew that once Xiao Chong made a decision, he would never change it, so he chose to remain silent, but still couldn't help turning back to glare fiercely at Xiaozhi: It's all your fault.

Xiaozhi's eyes, however, showed joy. Even if she went back, Shuangxi would accompany her. The trip to Japan, though risky, was like a leisurely air trip.
