Volume 1, Chapter 56: Long Live the Boss

Lian Shuyue looked at Zhang Weimin with utter confusion on her face:
"Boss, what do you mean? Why did Director Qin say you've become the new richest man in Liaocheng?"
Hong Daniu and Dao Zhenbang also looked at Zhang Weimin, awaiting his answer.
Instead of answering the question directly, Zhang Weimin gave Lian Shuyue a work assignment:
"Shuyue, starting tomorrow, you will lead a team consisting of the entire personnel from the Finance Department and the Administration Department to take over all the assets of Wu Junshan's three coal mines."
Lian Shuyue's eyes widened in shock as she asked:
"Take over Wu Junshan's coal mines!? His coal mines have become yours? Is that what you mean?"
Zhang Weimin looked at Lian Shuyue and smiled:
"I have always felt..."
Indeed, he was the Second Master Zheng, and also the head of the Zheng family. No matter where he went, he was a supreme existence. Yet, the Zhang Yang before him was someone he dared not provoke. Within his mind, the previous scenes were crystal clear.
The gloomy young man in green robes mustered up as much courage as he could, trying to keep himself from trembling in terror. Raising his voice, he shouted out sternly.
Pulling back his straying thoughts, Chu Sheng's gaze shifted to the mystical laurel tree, towering over a hundred meters high and wreathed in seven-colored divine light.
In the past, Ye Daohong's realm was too low to perceive anything extraordinary, but looking at it now, he realized there was a profound issue.
"Hehehe, only those who win through such matches can be considered the essence." Meng Yuxuan picked up his teacup and took a gentle sip.
Nanpan Pavilion was a pavilion located in Nanpan Park on the southern bank of the Nan River. The scenery ahead was vast and open, while behind it lay a dense forest.
Ultimately, Xingyue did not do anything to Meng Yuxuan, and Meng Yuxuan was quite content with this ease. Since his master had bestowed such immense prestige upon Xingyue, if Xingyue still did not know how to advance or retreat, she would truly be too foolish.
"Why is Madam looking at me like that?" There were usually many maidens who gazed at him with infatuation, but such a scrutinizing gaze was a first.
Everything could be indulged. No matter what bad things she did, they would always fix it for her. They were her heaven, and they were her earth. She would never be abandoned by them; they were truly happy.
A sudden trace of sorrow arose in Li Tian's heart. The competition in this world was far more intense than that of his previous life.
During the regular season matchups between the two teams that year, "Mandarin" spoken by Shaquille O'Neal provoked protests from all ethnic Chinese and was escalated to the level of racial discrimination. Consequently, O'Neal was forced to publicly apologize and admit his mistake.
After returning to China with nothing to show for his studies, Ren Youcai was arranged by his father-in-law to serve as the deputy general manager of a subsidiary motor department under the group. Because he knew nothing, everyone looked down upon him.
Tang Jinyu patted the dog's head and noticed the husky's eyes drifting toward Hamei. Unable to help herself, she smiled brilliantly and beckoned Hamei over. Hamei scampered over wagging its tail, lay down beside Tang Jinyu, wagged its tail, opened its mouth wide, and playfully pretended to bite her wrist.
Just as the citizens in the capital of the Miselqi Empire were gathered in discussion and admiring the mecha troops of the Xialhe Allied Forces, the 5,000 mechas lined up sequentially near the spatial rift overhead immediately scattered and flew toward the peripheries of the city the moment the spatial rift closed.
In stark contrast to the vast indoor space, there were very few objects inside the grand hall, making it hard to imagine that this was the palace hall of a nation.
However, in the face of this sudden attack, Regulus the Greed acted as if he had perceived nothing at all, and once again launched an offensive toward Su Mu.
Had she known back then that the fourth branch would one day raise her like a malnourished courtesan and attempt to present her to elderly dignitaries for defilement, she would never have agreed to her concubine mother's arrangement to have her adopted by Zhu Huajun.
"Consent is consent, but let's make this clear first: if this attempt fails again, either you come abroad with me, or we get a divorce!" Shen Lingying's face darkened as she drew the line, lest he bring up various excuses to torment her again later on.
"What you say makes some sense, but I believe that the money, power, oppression, helplessness, and settling that are mixed into this 'marriage spice jar' should be completely changed. Of course, this change, as you said, requires a process of guidance and enlightenment," Bai Jinyu said.
Before they could reach that point, however, just as the cubs stepped between the fourth and fifth pairs of stone columns, they heard a rustling sound.
Her delicate hand slowly rose, stirring up a droplet of water. Her fair arm, glistening with water beads under the illumination of the lights, shone brilliantly, as if flashing with dazzling radiance.
The actions of that Seventh Master made him feel somewhat incredible; could a dignified immortal actually stoop to such behavior?
"I am a native of Baijiagou in Tianqian Mountain, and my name is Bai Jinyu. I am heading to the capital for the imperial examinations and staying here temporarily. May I ask your name, sir?" Qidian asked.
"Of course not!" Liu Le's father was a shrewd businessman, wealthy all across the land, with a protruding belly. If he admitted it, wouldn't all the responsibility fall entirely upon his son?
Dou Wei, currently at Chaoyang International Apartment, was biting his fingernails while staring at the clock on the wall, deep in thought.
After all, on her very first day here, she had already obtained more than enough lavish spending money from the abbot.
He lunged toward the Night God in the firmament—even though his entire body was rapidly dissipating as he ascended, and even though his foundation had been severed and he could no longer grow due to the lack of more mortals, beginning to collapse—even so, he was an existence born precisely for this purpose.
Having endured over a month of torment, now that he knew how to break free from the old monk's shackles, he naturally would not continue to entangle himself with him.
Even they, in the two days since Xue Shuo became a Qi-energy master, only dared to address him as Young Master Xue or Young Master Shuo.
This spirit wine not only made one's soul and spirit feel utterly refreshed just by its aroma, but a mere wisp entering the abdomen immediately transformed into pure spiritual power, reaching directly to the dantian lake within the body. A single cup of this spirit wine could rival seven days of bitter cultivation; it was truly a rare and precious fine brew.
Following Lan Chun's words, the expressions of Lan Zhengfeng, Lan Guohui, and the others also turned extremely ugly as they stared at Xue Xuan with dangerous intent.
Gossip about her and Ouyang Luo had spread throughout the company, but the word "friend" did not truly describe their relationship all that accurately.
Well~ Seeing Rabbit Wind's spirited smile and hearing this rhetoric, all the teachers and students watching on the scene—except for the girls hailing from the Silver Island Garrison—all smiled. Although it hadn't quite reached the level of ridicule, one could clearly sense their utter lack of faith in Rabbit Wind in their laughter.
"That means there is still another problem! That is, the production of salt cannot keep up!" Chongzhen frowned and said.
The angry voice was laced with sharpness. She refused to believe that the dignified CEO of the Mu Corporation would dare to disregard his public image to such an extent!
