Chapter Index

    Hong Kong.

    Ye Tao exited the airport, dragging a suitcase with Long Yi and Long Er in tow.

    “Have you two ever been to Hong Kong before?”

    Ye Tao asked Long Yi and Long Er, hoping to strengthen their friendship.

    After all, these two were Xu Shaochen’s personal bodyguards. Building a good relationship with them would be very beneficial.

    In the worst case, if he encountered danger, these two would protect him at all costs.

    Long Yi and Long Er shook their heads. Before becoming Xu Shaochen’s bodyguards, they had never even been to Longguo.

    “No problem. I’ll show you guys around and tell you the history of the airport…”

    Ye Tao smiled. It was good they hadn’t been here before; it would make them easier to impress. After all, it was also his first time here.

    “Pah.”

    Ye Tao spat on the ground in disgust as he watched two men leave the airport with their arms around each other.

    Instantly, all eyes turned to him. People looked at him with disdain and judgment.

    Ye Tao’s expression changed. Realizing he made a mistake, he quickly rolled his eyes and shouted, “Baka yarou! Baka!”

    “Hmph, so he’s a Japanese person. No wonder he’s so uncivilized.”

    “Exactly, it’s embarrassing.”

    “Aren’t they supposed to have a good reputation? Looks like their temperament isn’t much better.”

    Long Yi and Long Er exchanged glances, their faces twitching slightly. They didn’t expect Ye Tao to be so shameless, shifting the blame onto the Japanese man.

    Still, well played.

    The three of them arrived in Hong Kong without alerting anyone. Xu Shaochen hadn’t informed Lin Kai, as the three of them had their own mission.

    …………….

    Jiangzhou.

    After leaving the old city redevelopment site, Xu Shaochen returned home.

    By this time, Linda had already finished work and was playing on her phone.

    “Did you ask her about what I told you to?”

    Xu Shaochen walked up and slapped her shoulder lightly, then started giving her a massage.

    “I did, but President Jenny still hasn’t agreed.”

    Linda said absentmindedly. She already knew this wasn’t something that could be resolved in one or two discussions; she might even have to go back to Mg Country personally.

    “Just keep working on it.”

    Xu Shaochen nodded, finishing the massage.

    Linda rolled her eyes. This was too much reality.

    “Does she like anything in particular?” Xu Shaochen asked. He would rely on Jenny a lot in the future, so he needed to build a good relationship.

    Linda tilted her head, thinking for a moment, then said, “She really likes Longguo cuisine and doesn’t eat much Western food.”

    “That won’t be a problem,” Xu Shaochen nodded. He had to help his poor family early on, so his cooking skills had always been excellent.

    Immediately after, Xu Shaochen changed the subject: “Linda, tell me about her family background.”

    Jenny’s authority seemed too vast.

    He needed to rely on her now, so he had to trust her.

    When he eventually gained control of the company, the first thing would be to weaken the power of these people. Otherwise, it would always feel like a sharp sword hanging over his head.

    Especially concerning Jenny’s family background. If her family was really influential, could he ever fully control the Xu Corporation?

    “Jenny doesn’t have any family members. Strictly speaking, you’re her only family.”

    Linda mysteriously said.

    Xu Shaochen frowned, “What do you mean?”

    “She’s an orphan adopted by the old Chairman, your grandfather. So, in Longguo’s generational hierarchy, you should call her ‘Auntie.'”

    “What the hell…”

    Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but curse. He hadn’t expected that he was actually somewhat related to Jenny. No wonder his grandfather trusted her so much.

    Linda shrugged, “Otherwise, why do you think she’s been helping you so much? Remember, she has helped you withstand a lot of pressure from the headquarters.”

    “This is good news.”

    Xu Shaochen smiled. A blue-eyed, blonde aunt with no blood relation. He recalled Linda mentioning that Jenny was quite beautiful? Damn, what was he thinking? He was a serious person.

    “Let’s go, Linda. Tonight, I’ll teach you how to drive.”

    “How do you drive?”

    “Have you ever heard of the ‘Old Man Pushing a Cart’?”

    Not a wink of sleep; sighs and whispers composed the most beautiful symphony of the night.

    …………

    The next day.

    At 10 a.m.

    Xu Shaochen stood outside the airport holding a bouquet, waiting for Liu Rushuang.

    Next to him was a woman, Liu Ruxu.

    She was dressed in business attire. She only had a half-day off, so after picking up Liu Rushuang, she needed to rush back to work.

    “Didn’t she say she didn’t want you to pick her up? If I’d known you were coming, I wouldn’t have.”

    Liu Ruxu said as she looked at Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen chuckled, “If I really didn’t pick her up, I might end up having to share your bed from now on.”

    “What, you dislike me? I’m with you, without needing money, a house, or even a title. What am I in it for? You still dare to dislike me?”

    Liu Ruxu pinched Xu Shaochen’s waist, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

    Xu Shaochen smiled slightly and whispered, “You’re in it for ‘Zero Distance, 20cm Apart.'”

    “You’re such a jerk, saying things like that in public. Shameless!”

    Liu Ruxu’s face flushed as she shyly scolded him, tightly squeezing her legs together. She glared at Xu Shaochen fiercely.

    Those who were waiting to pick people up looked at Xu Shaochen and Liu Ruxu playfully flirting with envy.

    A handsome man with a beautiful woman, they’re the perfect match.

    “Sis, Shaochen.”

    A clear voice reached their ears. Liu Rushuang, wearing a white dress, rushed into Xu Shaochen’s arms like a butterfly, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.

    The crowd became even more envious. A brother-in-law who was so close and a beautiful sister-in-law, who wouldn’t want that?

    Then, Xu Shaochen embraced Liu Rushuang and kissed her in full view of everyone.

    For a moment, everyone was stunned.

    Holy crap, he’s kissing his sister-in-law in front of his wife. Impressive!

    People looked at Liu Ruxu and found that she just stood there with a smile, watching without a trace of anger.

    “Let’s go. Let’s head back.”

    Handing the bouquet to the bodyguard, Xu Shaochen held the two sisters and got into the car.

    “I… What?! A god among men…”

    Everyone stared blankly at this scene, not reacting for a long time. The envy in their eyes completely turned into jealousy.

    It was already bad enough he had his sister, but he also managed to include the younger sister. Couldn’t he think about us poor singles?

    Heartless! Hoarding societal resources. A man like him, having multiple women, is the reason there are so many single people in this world.

    “Pah, nouveau riche. What’s so great about money? It’s just some filthy wealth.”

    One man looked at the departing convoy and said with a sour tone, dripping with jealousy.

    “Heh, buddy, there’s no need to be like that. Money doesn’t guarantee everything. They lose out on something too.”

    “Lose out on what?”

    “Once they get rich, they lose all their worries.”

    “…………….”
