“You are too busy, how could you have time to teach us?” Chaochao quickly said, understanding her mother’s intention to teach them herself.
Lan Yuxi thought for a moment, her laziness returning. "Alright, when we get back, I'll take you to see my master. If he's willing to teach you, you can learn from him."
Seeing her mother agree, Chaochao planted a loud kiss on Lan Yuxi's cheek, then ran out with a blush.
Lan Yuxi stood there, stunned for a long time. Her son had actually kissed her on his own initiative!
By the time she came to her senses, she realized that not only had her son run off, but she didn't even know when her daughter had disappeared.
"Master, you're too heartless! How could you make my junior brother and junior sister practice horse stance in the sun on such a hot day?"
As she spoke, a handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes walked in with a pained expression.
Elvis!
Her troublesome disciple!
Seeing him immediately gave Lan Yuxi a headache.
"Why are you here? Is your company not busy anymore?"
Lan Yuxi's tone was slightly teasing, with a hint of anger.
She had just gotten off the plane and called him, wanting to visit his company first to discuss opening a pharmaceutical factory in China.
As a result, his secretary’s stiff tone said he was too busy to take her call. This enraged her, and she hung up and returned directly to the manor.
"That secretary who told you I was busy has been fired!"
Elvis said, sprawling into a seat. Seeing Lan Yuxi giving him a glare, he quickly straightened up.
"That secretary is crazy! She makes trouble for any woman who calls me."
Lan Yuxi glanced at him. "It's all your fault for spoiling her! How old are you, can't you find a girlfriend properly? With you like this, if my master knew, he'd kick you out of the sect!"
Elvis spread his hands. "I want to find a girlfriend properly, but they don't agree. What can I do?"
"You're always surrounded by messy women. If I were you, I wouldn't agree either!"
"Master, is this why you don't want to be in a relationship with me? You should have said so earlier! If you had, I would have driven those people away long ago."
Lan Yuxi kicked him. "Get lost!"
Elvis chuckled. "Master, isn't this what you Chinese people call 'hitting is affection, scolding is love'?"
Lan Yuxi gave him a sinister look. "If you say any more inappropriate things, I'll cripple your lower body martial arts!"
Elvis's backside tensed, and he quickly brought his legs together. "Master, I was wrong!"
Lan Yuxi glared at him exasperatedly. "I called you because I wanted to discuss something with you."
Elvis asked with a smile, "About opening a pharmaceutical factory?"
Lan Yuxi was slightly taken aback. "You know about it?"
"Yes, your elder brother, Mr. Shang, called me. He said that for this pharmaceutical factory, you'll have seventy percent, I'll have twenty, and he'll have ten. He asked me to help you get the factory up and running. Actually, you don't have to give me shares, I would still help wholeheartedly, since you are my only master and I am your only disciple!"
Lan Yuxi felt a warmth in her heart. Her elder brother had given up twenty percent of the shares so that she could successfully open the pharmaceutical factory.
However, she had never intended for Elvis to invest. But since her elder brother had said so, she couldn't refuse, as her elder brother was also considering her best interests.
Although the Lan family was in business, they had never opened a pharmaceutical factory, and in this regard, they were not as capable as Elvis.
"I'll take sixty percent, and you two will each take twenty percent. If you think it's acceptable, you can sign the contract anytime."
"You take eighty, Mr. Shang takes twenty. I don't want shares, I'll just be your employee."
"I don't lack employees!"
Elvis pouted pitifully. "Fine, I'll listen to you. Also, I want to go to China with you this time. If I don't formally join the sect, I always feel like an unacknowledged outsider of the Hongmen."
"You can go, but you're not allowed to bring those messy people."
"Absolutely! I'll only bring some technical staff this time. As for management personnel, you can arrange that yourself."
Lan Yuxi smiled like an aunt and said softly, "Disciple, you know, Master is rather lazy. If you have any spare management personnel, it would be best to send a few over."
Elvis felt a chill down his spine under her gaze. He suddenly felt like he was being manipulated by his master.
But even though he knew he was being manipulated, he still willingly wanted to do more for her.
With Elvis's affirmative reply, Lan Yuxi felt a significant burden lifted from her shoulders.
At noon, still in a good mood, she treated Elvis to a lavish meal at the manor.
After sending Elvis off, Lan Yuxi was about to put the two children down for their nap when her phone rang.
Afraid of disturbing the children, Lan Yuxi took her phone out of the children's room.
After listening to what the other person said, her expression changed multiple times.
After a long while, she finally uttered a few words, "Give him a warning!"
On the airport highway in China.
A "ding" sound suddenly broke the silence in the stuffy car.
Nan Xiangdong, sitting next to Nan Xiao, reminded him, "Your phone rang, it's a notification sound for a file."
Nan Xiao raised his eyebrows, took out his phone, and opened the folder.
Soon, a recording began to play.
"Got business?"
"Yes, fifty million to take out a Chinese businessman."
"Go to China? It's difficult to get things done there."
"No need to go to China, we'll do it in T country."
"When do we move?"
"Wait for the notification, it's happening in the next few days. You'll need to bring more people, that person used to be a soldier, and he's not easy to deal with."
"I know. Otherwise, the buyer wouldn't offer fifty million."
After listening to the recording, Nan Xiao's lips curved into a bloodthirsty arc.
Nan Xiangdong took a bottle of mineral water from the car refrigerator and handed it over. "Who sent the file? It's similar to the news we received. This trip to T country is probably even more dangerous than the one to Y country."
Nan Xiao took the mineral water and took a sip. "I don't know who sent it, but it's confirmed, we have an inside mole."
"I'm being extra careful this time. Apart from the people I'm bringing, I haven't told anyone else. Also, the people we brought with us don't know where we're going yet, and I've already collected their phones."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly. "Has Xiangbei found out who sent me that photo yet?"
"Beep beep..." As soon as Nan Xiao finished speaking, his phone rang.
Nan Xiao was about to answer when he tilted his head and slumped into Nan Xiangdong's arms.
Nan Xiangdong let out a sigh of relief. After helping the already unconscious Nan Xiao to sit up, he took the phone and answered the call.
"Boss, we found it. That photo was sent from a five-star hotel in T country..."
"Boss is 'sleeping' now. Send me the address of that five-star hotel. Also, to prevent anyone from tracking Boss, I'll take this phone. If you need to contact him, use another number."
"You succeeded?"
"Yes. Today's matter, only you and I know. Don't tell anyone else. By the way, later, go to my place and take care of Boss."
"...Dong Ge, take care!"
Nan Xiangdong heard the concern in his voice, smiled, and hung up. Then, he took off Nan Xiao's suit and put it on himself.
This time, no matter what, he wouldn't let his boss get into danger again!
