Taboo Conquest of Lustful Emperor Chapter 213 - CHAPTER 176

"Dear classmates, let's welco Li Long with warm applause to award the top ten winners!"

Amid fervent applause, Li Long strode onto the stage, t by hundreds of eager eyes. Among his swimsuit-clad staff, he handed prizes to the ten winners, giving warm hugs and watching their flushed excitent. Notably, Runhong, whom he'd favored, scread, hugged him tightly, and claid her first-prize package.

"The competition was a triumph! Finally, the teacher and Li Long will perform 'Tomorrow Will Be Better,' wishing everyone a brighter future. Welco them with applause!"

"Pa, pa, pa..."

"Brother Long, Brother Long..."

"I love you..."

Under the fervent cheers, joining Le Qiu's chorus, Li Long took her smiling gaze and sang to the music:

"(Chorus) Tomorrow will be better (music) (Female) Gently wake the sleeping soul, slowly open your eyes (Male) See if the busy world still turns lonely (Female) Spring breeze stirs the young heart, naive to customs (Female) Let yesterday's tears dry with mories (Female) Look up, find skyward wings; migratory birds leave marks (Male) Bringing distant famine news, where cruel wars persist (Female) Yushan's snow drifts, burning young hearts (Female) Let true feelings lt into notes (Chorus) Send distant blessings (Female) Sing your passion, stretch out your hands, let embrace your dream (Female) Let hold your sincere face (Male) Let our smiles brim with youth's pride (Male) Offer a pious prayer for tomorrow (Female) Who can ignore their holand, forsaking childhood mories?

"Everyone, join in!" Moved, Li Long watched the crowd sing, raising hands and swaying. "(Group) Sing your passion, stretch out your hands, let embrace your dreams (Group) Let hold your sincere face (Group) Let our smiles brim with youth's pride (Group) Offer a pious prayer for tomorrow

Li Long enjoyed a blissful weekend. The only downside was Chen Lixiu's nagging phone call, the little resentful girl draining him. Finally, he hung up, collapsing into sleep, exhausted, with a delicate body in his arms.

Warm sunlight stread through the window. Seeing the delicate figure still asleep in his embrace, Li Long slipped out quietly, dressed, and headed to the bathroom. The faint fragrance lingering on him drew a knowing smile as he washed.

Half an hour later, erging from the bathroom, he found the bed empty. A pink garnt discarded by the bedside confird it wasn't a dream.

Noticing it was past 8:50, too late for school, he abandoned the idea. Humming a tune, he descended to the living room, spotting his mother in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Sneaking behind her, he hugged her, inhaling her scent, and asked, "Mom, what's for breakfast today, Xiaolong?"

"Stop pestering —you'll see soon. It's your fault Xiaoxin and the others left for school without eating!" Chen Xiuyan cooed, her beautiful face flushing.

"Hehe!" Grinning at her playful tone, Li Long released her, plopped onto the living room sofa, grabbed the TV remote, and tuned into the news.

"Ding, Boss, Ziyi has compiled and researched the tech you requested. Shall I send it now?" Ziyi's voice interrupted as he watched a scandalous report about a leader sared with foul waste. Delighted, he replied, "So fast? Great, send a few high-tech ones first." A virtual light screen appeared, displaying data. He'd skimd a third when footsteps approached, followed by a scream: "Ah, Xiaolong, what's that light screen?"

"Haha, Mom, it's high-tech—careful, don't get burned!" Shutting off the screen, he turned, rose, and approached his shocked mother, taking two bowls of fragrant bird's nest porridge from her hands with a laugh.

An hour later, over breakfast, Chen Xiuyan, stunned by her son's talk of the Shenlong, grew excited and asked, "Xiaolong, can you take Mom to see it next ti?"

"Of course!" Li Long nodded happily, then added, "Mom, keep this to yourself, okay?"

"Don't worry, Xiaolong, Mom knows it's important," she replied eagerly.

"Mom, I'm visiting the company today—want to co?" After lounging on the sofa with her, Li Long suggested.

"Sure, I'd love to see your company and how it's growing." Though unfamiliar with business, Chen Xiuyan was curious about her son's ventures. Recently, Xiuli ntioned that, beyond the factory under construction, Longyu Company had recruited over half its needed talent, and Xiaolong's acquired firms were integrating. Intrigued, she wanted to see for herself.

They arrived at a 34-story tower in Beilin City's heart, the tallest and most striking building there. Standing on the plaza 50 ters from its entrance, Li Long asked, "Mom, what do you think of this building Xiaolong bought for 200 million? Pretty good, right?"

"This... Xiaolong, did you need the whole building? I don't know much, but does the company require such a huge space?" Chen Xiuyan marveled at the sleek, newly built structure with its mirrored windows, proud it housed her son's company. But she couldn't help chiding his lavish spending.

"Haha, Mom, still thinking small? Once my company's truly established, I'll build the world's grandest headquarters in Hong Kong's core. It'll stun the globe!" Li Long scoffed at the building, his ambitions soaring.

"Forget it, I don't get these things. Do what you want, Xiaolong. I'll stick to watching your internet cafe and living simply!" Chen Xiuyan shied from speculating on his career, wary of future shocks overwhelming her preference for a quiet life.

Suddenly, a crowd of white-collar workers stread from the building's entrance, led by two secretaries trailing two stunning young won. The pair called out joyfully, "Xiaolong, Sister Yan!" Chen Xiuli turned to the diverse group of departnt heads behind her and said, "These are the boss and Sister Yan. Get acquainted!"

"Hello, Boss! Hello, Sister Yan..."

"Xiuli, Yuhong, no need for such a fuss. Look, people are staring—it's awkward!" Chen Xiuyan, startled by the spectacle, felt uneasy, especially being called Sister Yan by n older than her. Passersby's curious glances heightened her discomfort. After returning the employees' bows, she clutched her sister's hand and whispered.

Li Long nodded calmly to his staff, unfazed. Seeing his mother's nervous grip on her aunt's hand, he said casually, "Mom, Auntie, let's head upstairs to talk."

"Okay..."

In Longyu Company's largest conference room, Li Long took the main seat unceremoniously, gestured for his mother to sit beside him, and waved to the employees lining the walls. "Sit down, no need for formalities!"

Despite his casual tone, the staff, unfamiliar with their new boss's temperant, sat nervously, silently awaiting his words.

Li Long, pleased with their deanor, glanced approvingly at Xiuli and Yuhong, then addressed the group. "Let introduce myself: I'm Li Long, and this is my mother. Now, please introduce yourselves. Relax—I'm not a heartless boss. At my company, don't always wear grim faces. As they say, smile often, stay ten years younger, hehe..."

"Hehe, Boss, you're right!" A nearly 50-year-old man in the front stood, chuckling. "I'm Zheng Kang, 48, leading the marketing departnt to expand our market under President Chen's guidance."

Following Zheng Kang's lead, Longyu's departnt heads relaxed, introducing their roles and the company's progress.

"Excellent, everyone's dedicated!" Li Long was thrilled to hear that, under Xiuli and Yuhong, the company had achieved 80% of his set goals. "Keep up the effort. As the first employees, your contributions won't be forgotten as we grow. Our strength lies in robust finances. I'll share that we possess several world-leading technologies. Our future focus is producing these cutting-edge products to make the company shine globally!"

"Pah, pah, pah..."

Their excitent, sincere or not, didn't concern Li Long. As long as tasks were executed, he was content. He signaled them to stop, saying, "Alright, Secretary Dantian, stay—everyone else, back to work!"

After they left, Li Long turned to his mother, aunt, Yuhong, and chief secretary Dantian, asking, "Auntie, where's Sister Feiyan? I didn't see her today."

"Feiyan's tied up—her daughter Youyou is sick, and she's caring for her at ho," Chen Xiuli replied.

"Oh, then Xiaolong should visit her today. By the way, Auntie, I'm here for two reasons. First, these high-tech products—I want our acquired companies to produce them!" Li Long requested a computer, beckoned Xiuli and Yuhong to his side, plugged in a mobile hard drive, and displayed data. "Look: biological rubber simulation manufacturing technology, milky white repair fluid, and special instant solidifying fluid!"
