While Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t paying attention, Liu Lanxin took her arm.
"Hey hey hey, why are you doing this?"
"Sister Xiaoman, let’s make up, okay? I might have done sothing wrong before, please forgive ."
Errr...
Faced with Liu Lanxin’s apology, Zhang Xiaoman truly didn’t know how to respond.
Because she couldn’t really find anything significantly wrong that Liu Lanxin had done, perhaps she had been too nitpicky.
After so thought, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t say anything more and was led by Liu Lanxin to the others.
"Hello, sisters. My na is Liu Lanxin, and Xiaoman and I are classmates," Liu Lanxin introduced herself softly.
eting all the ladies for the first ti, feeling shy was inevitable, but she had mustered a lot of courage in the car, so she was ready to face anything.
"Lan Xin, I’ve followed you, you know," Fang Fei responded with a cheerful laugh.
"Thank you for your concern, Sister."
"In the future, you can just call
Sister Fang, after all, I am quite old..." Fang Fei said, feeling sowhat disheartened. Compared to pure young won like Liu Lanxin and Zhang Xiaoman, age was definitely a sore spot.
"Sister Fang is so beautiful, and she speaks so nicely, Brother Xia Liu is really lucky."
"Hehe, that guy is of course lucky..." Li Qianqian started saying and then introduced herself.
The other ladies did the sa, and in no ti, they all beca acquainted with Liu Lanxin.
Since it was their first eting, they had so much to talk about, so they all headed upstairs to chat freely.
As for Xia Liu, the ladies were all busy greeting the new sister and had no ti to bother with him.
"Tie Shan, we’ve really got to make an effort. Look at our lord, he’s got eight!" Once all the ladies had gone upstairs, Lin Xiaotian said enviously.
"Xia Liu is of course impressive. I seem to rember, two years ago when he went to Britain, even a castle’s princess was crying to marry him," Tie Shan thought it was only natural for Xia Liu to have so many beautiful won; it would be strange if he didn’t.
"Xiaotian, it seems you’ve forgotten that Lili has a second level Qi Cultivation prowess," Xia Liu said with a chuckle, reminding Lin Xiaotian not long after his envious remark.
"So what? Lili is on defense in the company, she can’t hear what I say," Lin Xiaotian shrugged with an arrogant look.
"Really? Lin Xiaotian, do you also want a few more girls at ho?" At that mont, a sniggering voice spread from behind Lin Xiaotian.
"Lili! Listen to , I was just showing off with Xia Liu and Tie Shan, don’t take it seriously..." Lin Xiaotian turned and glanced, imdiately starting to explain.
Xia Liu and Tie Shan couldn’t help but laugh out loud; they noticed that Lin Xiaotian seed to have changed.
He lacked his usual arrogance and had a softer deanor.
"Why are you in such a hurry to explain? I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you look for others..." Listening to Xia Liu and Tie Shan’s laughter, Bai Lili said with pursed lips in a gently teasing tone.
"No, no, taking good care of you is enough for , I don’t have the heart or the ability to flirt with other girls for now," Lin Xiaotian said earnestly.
Over the years, he had cultivated fervently but had also learned about so of won’s characteristics from Xia Liu.
They say a woman’s mind is as inscrutable as the depths of the ocean; you can never really know what they’re thinking. Also, for matters like this, you should never take her word for it.
What if the hand she’s keeping in her pocket is holding scissors?
Unless he had the sa abilities as Xia Liu, Lin Xiaotian would refrain from stirring up any trouble with other girls for the ti being.
"Hehe! My sister-in-law really knows how to read the room."
"Brother Xia Liu, don’t tease
anymore; I sincerely want more sisters, but this guy just doesn’t dare to make a move." Bai Lili responded to Xia Liu with a giggle.
"Lili, don’t make jokes like that." Lin Xiaotian’s eyes widened—if that were really the case, he’d be willing to risk being completely drained to pursue it.
"No joke—if you were as capable as Brother Xia Liu, I definitely wouldn’t mind."
"Alright, I’ll work hard at it."
...
As things ca to an end, everyone dispersed.
With Xia Liu there, Lin Xiaotian and Bai Lili went back to practice their skills, though what exactly they were practicing was sothing only the two of them would know.
Before going upstairs, Xia Liu gave Li Zhong a call. Today’s events were unusual; without soone instigating, the public would definitely not have had such a big reaction.
When Li Zhong heard about the situation, he was astonished: "Xia Liu, are you serious?"
"Yeah, nearly two hundred people showed up at the company’s entrance," Xia Liu said, a bit puzzled. Could it be that Li Zhong was unaware of the situation at the scene?
"Ah, so many people, what’s the situation now?" Li Zhong was sowhat anxious, as Li Qianqian hadn’t told him much earlier.
Plus, he had been in a eting with the leaders, and if he had left halfway through, his report on the Hejing redevelopnt case would definitely not have had a chance to be presented.
Now that the eting was over, he was eager to rush back and check on the Osmanthus Group.
"I’ve settled everything, and I also promised to hold a press conference at the movie theater in three days."
"Phew, that’s good, then. I should be able to secure the docunts in three days," Li Zhong sighed in relief.
He had set out yesterday from Hejing to Binlai City because of the proposal from Xia Liu—if he rembered correctly.
Before he left, he had instructed that the news should not be leaked out yet.
But how could it have caused public panic now?
Just as Xia Liu was about to answer, Li Zhong asked, "What was the cause of this incident?"
"It’s said that many places in the county posted notices, implying that the Osmanthus Group is cooperating with the county governnt to redevelop the town, but no details were given."
"I had clearly instructed that, before the docunts were approved, this matter should not be disclosed. It seems now that soone wants to stir up trouble!" Li Zhong said, his tone turning grave after hearing Xia Liu’s explanation.
"That’s what I think too, but the ringleader today was a young man who was extrely aggressive; I don’t know if he was put up to it or if it was spontaneous."
"Alright, now I’m not in Hejing, so I can’t confirm the specifics. I’ll have to investigate when I return," Li Zhong couldn’t be sure who was trying to cause trouble.
Perhaps soone inside the county governnt knew about the news and couldn’t contain their excitent, wanting the public to know this good news.
"Don’t worry, Uncle Zhong, I’ll be at Hejing these days. If soone really is trying to cause trouble, I won’t let them off," Xia Liu promised.
"Good! I’ll also do my best to expedite the docunt approval, so the project can progress quickly."
After so idling talk, Xia Liu hung up the phone and dialed Glasses.
"Glasses, do you know the person who caused trouble just now?"
"I know him; his na is Director Guo. He’s a bit of a well-known rogue in Hejing, but his main base isn’t in the county; it’s in a certain town." Glasses responded to Xia Liu without any hesitation.
"Good, next you check if he’s connected to anyone inside the county governnt. If not, just let it be....."
