Cai Wen'er, Yu Wei found the name somewhat familiar.
"Hello, which store are you referring to?" Yu Wei asked.
With so many properties under his family, his father had given him dozens of stores to manage. Collecting rent and bragging, just living a life of ease, wouldn't that be great?
Cai Wen'er was stunned. That was true. Yu Wei, Young Master Yu, wouldn't be selling just one store.
"Which store on Pujian Road?" Cai Wen'er said.
"Oh, alright. Let's meet at the store tomorrow morning at ten," Yu Wei said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow. Young Master Yu, you go ahead." Cai Wen'er hung up the phone.
In a star-rated hotel in Modu, after hanging up the phone, Cai Wen'er said to Hu Li, "Honey, I've made the appointment. We'll meet at the store tomorrow morning at ten."
"Okay," Hu Li nodded.
Since the incident last time, Hu Li and Cai Wen'er had gotten together. After all, feelings develop over time.
Hu Li was single anyway, and he was comfortable with Cai Wen'er. The two officially started dating.
The entertainment company was definitely out. Hu Li took Cai Wen'er's advice to open a store in Modu and develop other businesses.
A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Hu Li still had some assets. With normal consumption, the two of them wouldn't be able to spend it all in several lifetimes.
"Honey, I'm going to take a bath. Do you want to join?"
Cai Wen'er said as she took off her underwear in front of Hu Li, even tossing it at him.
"Again?"
Hu Li had a bitter taste in his mouth, feeling his health declining recently.
When he couldn't get her before, he’d rack his brain every day, trying every possible way to get her. Now that he had her, it was hard to describe…
The next day, Yu Wei met Cai Wen'er at the store as promised.
"Young Master Yu, hello, I've heard so much about you. This is my husband, Hu Li," Cai Wen'er proactively greeted and introduced.
"Aren't you that celebrity, Cai Wen'er?"
When I answered the phone yesterday, no wonder the name sounded familiar. Turns out you're a celebrity.
"Young Master Yu, you jest. I've already retired from the industry. I was ignorant before and finally realized that the entertainment industry wasn't suitable for my development, so I'm planning to do something real now."
Cai Wen'er gave a self-deprecating smile. Most people couldn't handle life's ups and downs; peace is bliss.
"Indeed. Then let's talk about the price." Yu Wei didn't care about Cai Wen'er's past. In his eyes, she was just a client.
The three of them talked for the entire morning to finalize the store matters. At the end, Cai Wen'er invited Yu Wei for lunch, but he declined.
...
For several days, life was ordinary yet fulfilling. One day, Xia Feng had just finished his lecture and was preparing to go home when Luo Hanxiang and Yun Yan caught up with him.
Xia Feng had gone to Chuan Province before the National Day holiday, and with the holiday, he hadn't been to school for more than ten days.
"Teacher Xia, there's something I wanted to tell you," Luo Hanxiang found Xia Feng and said.
"What is it?" Xia Feng looked at the two.
"Before and after the National Day, two people who seemed suspicious were looking for you," Luo Hanxiang revealed her doubts.
Xia Feng's brow furrowed. Someone was looking for him?
"Don't mind them," Xia Feng said dismissively.
Those who know him wouldn't look for him at school, and those who don't wouldn't find him.
"Teacher Xia, when are you going to have dinner with us? The classmates are urging us again," Yun Yan called out.
"You guys find a time. Call the classmates together on a holiday," Xia Feng no longer refused and agreed to Yun Yan's request.
He had been at the school for a while, and the students respected him greatly. Their earnest invitation was hard to refuse.
"Yay! The classmates will definitely be excited when they find out!" Yun Yan exclaimed excitedly.
The three walked along the academy's main path. As they neared the parking lot, two people emerged from ahead.
"Teacher Xia, look, it's them," Luo Hanxiang said, pointing at the two.
Xia Feng then looked at the two, his eyes narrowing.
"Professor Xia, hello. Please excuse our intrusion," the two walked towards him and asked politely upon seeing Xia Feng.
"Get straight to the point," Xia Feng said expressionlessly to the newcomers.
"Professor Xia's medical skills are world-class. I had the honor of witnessing them at the medical exchange conference last time. We kindly ask for Professor Xia's help with a small matter. You can name your price," one of them said politely.
"Please leave. I do not associate with people from Woguo." Xia Feng said and walked past them.
This was the second group of people looking for Xia Feng since the medical exchange conference.
Xia Feng knew nothing about the first group, who were dealt with by King Hughes.
This group was even more direct, finding Xia Feng himself.
Still people from Woguo, Xia Feng refused without any hesitation.
"Professor Xia, please consider it. We are from the Asō family." One of them said as he watched Xia Feng leave.
There was a subtle warning in his tone.
The Asō family is one of the largest families in Woguo. Both their influence and financial power are crucial to Woguo.
Among the five great families of Woguo, only the Hatoyama family is somewhat friendly to Hua Xia. The other four are all terrible. Excluding the Hatoyama family, the other four families participated in that war decades ago.
Xia Feng stopped upon hearing this and turned to look at the two. "Tell Asō Ichirō to come here and kneel to apologize, and perhaps I'll consider it."
"Baka..."
The two roared in anger. Asō Ichirō was their clan head. Xia Feng's insult made them jump with rage. If they weren't in Hua Xia, they would never let Xia Feng off.
Xia Feng, too lazy to deal with them, strode away.
"Teacher Xia, you were so commanding just now," Luo Hanxiang said admiringly as she followed behind Xia Feng.
"Yes, yes! Those devils are so infuriating!" Yun Yan chimed in.
"Alright, I'm going home. You two go back," Xia Feng waved to them.
The two nodded and watched Xia Feng get into his car.
After getting into the car, Xia Feng said to Long Aotian, "Those two Japanese people just now were cultivators. Deal with them tonight."
"Yes, Master," Long Aotian replied while driving.
Long Aotian wouldn't care about the reasons. Japanese cultivators? Why wouldn't he kill them?
The current Hua Xia is not the Hua Xia of the past. No clown can run rampant on the land of Hua Xia.
We welcome guests to Hua Xia, but they must abide by Hua Xia's laws. As long as they are well-behaved, we treat them well.
If they still think it's decades ago and come here to throw their weight around, they are gravely mistaken.
Maybe ten years ago, you could still hear about foreigners doing this and that in Hua Xia.
But in recent years, there have been no such reports. When you come to the sacred land of Hua Xia, you must have respect. This sleeping lion, Hua Xia, has fully awakened.
Once, Hua Xia stood at the pinnacle of the world, and in the future, it will regain its glory.
