Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure CH 043 Respecting Teachers And Morality, Virtue Since Ancient Times

The Dragon-Phoenix Selection started every October 15th, and by October, those families who had children of the right age would try their luck.

Some families even early on prepared a jar from the moment a child was born, and deposited a copper coin every day, commonly known as “children’s money”, as a way to save up the expenses needed to participate in the Dragon-Phoenix Selection.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

At this time, it was the most prosperous period of time in various places, all kinds of businesses would make a fortune, and many rural civilians also know that this was likely the only time in their lives they would enter the city.

This period of time was also a good time for the martial arts schools and the imperial army to select talents.

There were always people who had already found their targets early on. Not mentioning those who were selected, but towards those who didn’t pass the Dragon-Phoenix Selection, they would rush over and make their pitch. After all, while Kun-Lai selected only the best, the rest that were left also contained some good seedlings.

And today was October 15th.

The day when the Dragon-Phoenix Selection officially started.

The city could no longer accommodate so many people. Therefore, aside from the residents of the capital city of the Great Xiao State, entry had become restricted. If they carried travel papers from another area, one must go out before another one could enter.

Simply put, the line of people had already stretched outside the city.

A tall girl squeezed into the crowd with an unhappy expression: “Why is there a limit to entry? What gives! Collecting taxes all day long and won’t even forgive a copper less in payment. But now that they have to provide service, there is no one to be seen?”

The frail young man next to her tugged at the hem of her clothes: “Keep your voice down…”

“Why should I? Is there anything wrong with what I said?” The girl was currently angry and argued back directly.

“Of course you’re wrong!” A young soldier on the side gave her a sideways glance, “If we hadn’t started constructing at the beginning of the year, do you think the shack you lived in these few days could still be a place that’s even livable?”

The gathering of people outside the city once every twelve years was an inevitable occurrence. The capital of the state was already familiar with the procedure, and the manpower, housing, and division of duties had been practiced countless times.

The shacks outside the city were the most dilapidated, but they all had stone pillars as the framework. They could provide shelter from wind and rain with just a couple layers of straw bundles on the roof. There were also various vendors from the city who would come out to sell grain, food, and water. Although the living conditions were uncomfortable and there were several people who had to squeeze in a single room, who hadn’t experienced this kind of tight living quarters before?

Before October, all of them had been paid double the salary, and it was stipulated that there should be no problem in carrying out the process, otherwise they would be dealt with from top to bottom. And it was only these young people who did not know good from bad and just complained everywhere.

The girl paused, snorted twice then bowed her head and stopped talking.

The sickly looking young man apologized and continued to wait on the long line.

From time to time, some people walked out of the city with a desolate face, all kinds of crying and sobbing, causing the young people on the line to become even more nervous and anxious.

Although they all knew that the Dragon-Phoenix Selection only selected the best, who did not want to soar into the sky?

Besides, there were far fewer people who succeeded through scholarship, martial arts, or commerce when compared to being selected to go to Kun-Lai.

After cultivating one’s life span becomes longer and indirectly or directly reflects prosperity to their clan and hometown. Even if after going to Kun-Lai they end up being eliminated, these students would still be able to come away with scholarly knowledge, physical defense skills, and broadened horizons. After returning, they were still talents that various countries fought over. Few did not live out the rest of their lives without success and completely faded into the masses.

For normal civilians, this was a direct path to soaring up into the sky.

The line moved extremely slowly, from day to night, but their position on the line only just went from outside the city to in front of the city gates, and the line was still extending.

Those were the children and adolescents from more remote places having finally arrived. They stood far away on the line, and it was early yet till they arrived at the front of the line, but they were still quite anxious and afraid.

After January, the Heart Asking Stones would close, and many people who were delayed on the road would lose their chances forever.

At this time, some rumors faintly began to spread.

“Have you heard?” Someone on the side whispered, “This time there is a problem with the sacred stone.”

“How could something go wrong, that is something set by the true god of Kun-Lai.” The listener and the speaker were both interested, and they soon exchanged words.

“I heard that many nobles colluded with the Teacher of the State and broke the sacred stone.” That person’s voice rose unconsciously, “A lot of nobles have entered prison.”

“I have also heard that the Kun-Lai cultivators returned many of the kidnapped children, apparently they had their hearts plucked to make up for the deficiency in the children of noble families.”

“Those vicious beasts!”

“Then is it a fake this time? Those nobles broke the sacred stone, which is why there are so many people?”

“That’s right, that’s why I was not selected!”

“Wait a minute, maybe the sacred stone is repaired, there are still the Kun-Lai cultivators!?”

“That’s a sacred stone created by the true god. It hasn’t been broken for hundreds of years. Can the cultivators even fix it?”

***

Although the rumors caused a stir, the soldiers around them posed an intimidating deterrent, and the sharp blades in their hands were even more intimidating. It was just that many not yet resigned people lingered around and refused to leave, hoping to come across another chance.

The girl elbowed her companion: “Ah Lie, do you think what they are saying is true?”

The sickly looking young man was knocked back from the elbow. He reached up to rub at the ribs that might have become bruised now, and showed a wry smile.

“Tell me.” The girl urged him. On the whole way, everything he predicted had become right. If it weren’t for this, they wouldn’t be able to find themselves here safe and sound.

The young man glanced around and seemed to hesitate, not knowing how to say.

“Hurry and tell me!” The girl pushed him.

The young man lowered his head, grabbed the girl’s hand, and drew two words on her hand.

Be careful.

The girl’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively grabbed the boy’s hand.

“It’s those few people who are spreading the rumors.” The young man continued to write on her hand. He could already see the intertwined lines of fortune on those people which were giving off an ominous black energy, infecting the fortune of other people around them.

Generally, in his eyes, the luck and fortune of ordinary people appeared white, and those who had thick lines were lucky while those who had thinner lines were less so.

The nobles had blue green energy, and there were also differences in thickness. An extremely noble person had purple energy, and he had only seen one with it.

But the black energy signalled death and decay, and once it stained you, you would end up hurt if not dead.

At this time, two people lined up at the back of the line, a boy and a girl.

Their appearances drew the gazes of everyone around.

The girl wore a veil over her face, but while it covered her facial features it could not cover her misty and ethereal aura. Between her graceful posture and every elegant gesture, she was like a fairy who descended from the heavens, unforgettable after just one glance.

However, the young man was 18 or 19 years old, with a tall stature and a very cold and handsome face. He stayed beside the girl in a guarding posture.

The people around couldn’t help but wonder, the two of them didn’t look like ordinary people so why didn’t they go inside the city to jump the line like the other nobles instead of enduring the hard work of queuing here.

One must know that they must stand in line for ten days to half a month. If there was no person you were familiar with to help out, it would be a problem to even drink and eat.

At the end of January, there were many who would come down with serious illnesses.

The eyes of the sickly looking teenager named Ah Lie brightened, and he decisively pulled the girl and withdrew from the front of the line, lining up behind the pair of extraordinary looking boy and girl instead.

“What are you doing? We finally got to the front and were about to enter the city!” The girl raised her hand to hit him.

“Sister Su, you know these two are not normal people with just a glance. Let’s breathe in some immortal energy.” Ah Lie hurried to appease her, and winked a few times. As soon as these two arrived, the black energy outside the city was instantly swept away. The aura of fortune around her was massive and terrifying, and it was a hundred times more scary than the Kun-Lai cultivator who had rescued him before. Approaching such a person, so long as they were not hostile, would only benefit them.

Only then did the girl put down her hand and did not struggle any more.

She just looked at the two in front of them with scrutiny.

The girl in white robes who looked like an immortal fairy looked back at Ah Lie and let out a chuckle as she said, “This little brother has good vision, what’s your name?”

The voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of crispness, just listening to it was a pleasure.

“This sister, thank you for the compliment, my name is Yuan Lie.” He replied respectfully.

“This name is domineering, it’s just that your physique is too weak and you have to cultivate hard to be worthy of the name. Then, Xiao Lie, won’t you follow this sister, okay?” The white robed girl said with a smile, “My name is Mingyu, and I just happen to need a few companions who can go to Kun-Lai and cultivate together.”

Yuan Lie’s heart thumped. Although this girl was also surrounded with purple energy, she actually described Kun-Lai as one would describe their own home. There was likely a problem with her origin. If she was someone who was going to Kun-Lai to make trouble, he might also be implicated.

And her luck was so terrifying, would it cause trouble to the Kun-Lai Immortal Mountains?

However, he saw that the luck of an ordinary Kun-Lai disciple was so terrifying before. If there were ten or a hundred more of the same in Kun-Lai, this girl would definitely not be able to stir up trouble… right?

“Mingyu, don’t fool around,” Ye Han said with a headache, “You have already collected dozens of ‘companions’ along the way…”

“If you were a little bit stronger and could suppress Feng Qingxiu, why would I have to work so hard.” Ji Mingyu snorted, and did not listen to persuasion, determined to continue to go further and further on the path of seeking her father’s attention.

“If I am lucky enough to enter the Kun-Lai Immortal Mountains, naturally we can cultivate together.” Yuan Lie said sincerely, “Being able to accompany this sister is also a wonderful opportunity for me.”

He was gentle, polite and sensible, and soon attracted the girl named Mingyu’s interest in chatting with him, making the ‘Sister Su’ next to him very upset, turning to the side with an unhappy face.

However, after a while, the line still did not make any progress.

The test takers around couldn’t help but become anxious.

Thinking of the previous rumors, the people’s hearts could not help but become unsettled.

Ji Mingyu was also puzzled: “Is there another problem? Didn’t he say that he can deal with it?”

She asked Ye Han.

“After all, it is the Heart Asking Stone. He only learned a few talisman seals and he dared to say that he could make one. It is normal for a little problem to occur,” Ye Han was also very worried, “Should we go to Jiuxi City? The Heart Asking Stone there has no problem.”

Unlike Ji Mingyu, who had a powerful cultivator as a personal bodyguard, he was sincere in his desire to go to the lower school to make up for his lack of knowledge, otherwise it would be difficult to make any progress in the future.

He couldn’t live off of Mingyu forever.

At the same time they were chatting, the surrounding situation faintly began to spiral out of control.

Rumors spread faster than anything. In almost an hour, the news of the destruction of the sacred stone spread throughout the city and there were turbulent accusations cropping up everywhere.

All kinds of people began to attack the imperial court and the Immortal Worship Temple. Although there were many soldiers, one couldn’t imagine how they would fare with massive crowds as great as mountains and seas.

***

In the Immortal Worship Temple, Feng Qingxiu looked at the huge stone that was glowing again, thinking hard.

“You said it was fine, that this sacred stone can be used!” The emperor on one side looked solemn, “Give me a specific time, and I will go suppress the crowd outside.”

He had already explained the current situation to the other. As the head of a state, he always had to give his people an explanation.

And this explanation could only be given by the other.

“Master, what do you think?” Feng Qingxiu asked the paper man quietly.

“There is no way to restart it, it will take a day at least.” The paper man said lightly, “In the past, in order to be able to measure one’s talent for comprehension, the program created was quite complicated. It is normal that a bug showed up after you rewrote it.”

“But now the people outside are about to rise in revolt.” Feng Qingxiu did not dare to give a specific time to let the emperor go and suppress the civilians, “Master, is my authority in Kun-Lai very big?”

“Very big, you can even take all the people outside to Kun-Lai if you want.” The paper man patted his apprentice and didn’t put pressure on him.

“No need!” Feng Qingxiu smiled slightly and turned to the emperor, “Pass the news that the sacred stone is damaged and is still being repaired. The test will now be held on our Kun-Lai flying peak.”

The emperor was overjoyed, this was the flying peak of the immortals, with this name, he no longer had to worry about the people suspecting that he was secretly tampering with the Selection.

No one would doubt Kun-Lai, or a celestial flying peak.

So he left immediately and spread the news to the outside.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“The flying peak doesn’t have a Heart Asking Stone though?” The paper man asked strangely.

“We can just move this one over.” Feng Qingxiu said confidently, “The sacred stone on the flying peak has not been used before. If something goes wrong, then just let them wait longer and they won’t say anything. Please check it over quickly. Don’t let it crash anymore!”

“My apprentice… pay attention to your attitude!”

Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure CH 042 Ups And Downs, Continuance And Changes

When Xiao Yuan and the strange man wanted to run, Feng Qingxiu and the others couldn’t catch up no matter what.

After all, the gap in cultivation levels was there, and it could not be bridged by a few spiritual artifacts.

Even if Ye Han pointed out the direction, it was still the same.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

So they returned without success and were very unhappy.

Among them, Ji Mingyu was particularly the case.

When they went back, they were silent all the way.

They had to continue with the Dragon-Phoenix Selection and prepare for various situations.

Ji Mingyu wanted to continue to personally attend the Dragon-Phoenix Selection to enter the outer sect; and Kun-Lai also let her do as she wanted.

And with the powerful Demigod cultivator guarding by her side, her safety was quite guaranteed.

The paper man came back into awareness and comforted his apprentice.

Then he was asked by his apprentice.

“Master…” Feng Qingxiu suddenly raised his head after being comforted by a few words.

“What is it?” The paper man asked casually.

“Why are you only good to me?” Feng Qingxiu hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time, “Today, Mingyu was also by our side.”

You didn’t even look at her at all.

The paper man was dumbfounded.

When Feng Qingxiu said this, although he was uneasy in his heart, he still looked up at the paper man floating in front of him.

“I…” The paper man showed a rare display of hesitation.

Then it fell to the ground.

***

Kun-Lai Mountain, Zhaoyue Peak.

Ji Yunlai slowly opened his eyes. He sat on the top of the mountain and looked at the sea of ​​clouds.

The cold wind couldn’t blow even an edge of his clothes, and it seemed that even getting close to him was a terrifying prospect.

He didn’t pay attention to his surroundings, just pondered over what his apprentice just asked him.

He thought he was just evading his feelings over his daughter and his junior brothers and sisters and didn’t want to be found out of the ordinary.

But he didn’t notice that this was the biggest anomaly.

He was too cold, no matter whether he was dealing with people or things, except in front of Xiao Qing he was still Ji Yunlai, but in front of other people he was only the Xing Dao Master.

Even he didn’t think anything was wrong with this. According to his original personality, he should care about them, even if he didn’t say anything, he would occasionally greet them at least.

How could he be so cold?

There was a problem.

He decided to solve this problem.

So he raised his hand and summoned his still worried junior brother at the bottom of the peak.

He mustered up a smile and asked, “Has Junior Brother been doing well recently? I was upset just now, don’t mind about it.”

Junior Brother was frightened and knelt instantly: “Senior Brother, you, what’s wrong with you? What happened?”

This reaction was too over the top. Ji Yunlai’s smile withdrew in an instant, and he said coldly: “What is the meaning of this, I can’t even smile now?”

Only then did Yan Zhao breath a sigh of relief. It turned out that his senior brother was only acting on a whim: “Yes, of course, Senior Brother, please smile, I am mentally prepared now.”

“Go back.” Ji Yunlai raised his hand and was about to wave him back down the mountain peak.

“No, Senior Brother!” Yan Zhao tried to raise his hand to block the spiritual energy, even thrusting a sword into the ground of the peak, and refused to leave. “What happened just now, did you go to the Fiery Lake, did you fight each other, were you injured? You can’t drive me away if you don’t say!”

“I went, we fought, no injury, you can go.” Ji Yunlai found out that the mode of getting along with his apprentice couldn’t be applied with his junior brothers and sisters, so he simply shooed the other away.

Yan Zhao’s tension finally eased, and he retracted his sword and left.

Ji Yunlai also heard the discussion among his junior brothers and sisters at the bottom of the peak.

“It’s all because of you, why did you complain to Senior Brother about it for no reason!” Bai Shuixian scolded Yan Zhao angrily, “Yan Dan’er, let me tell you, I will not let you go unpunished next time.” (TN: literally Yan Egg, from his birth name Yan Dog Egg, see Kun-Lai Past extra)

“I just wanted Senior Brother to be more vigilant, who knew he would just leave directly!” Yan Zhao’s cold tone had a rare trace of weakness, “Aren’t I worried too?”

“We can no longer predict Senior Brother’s temper after he began practicing that sword, so we must be more careful next time.” Someone next to him persuaded.

“That’s right, with him here, Kun-Lai is as stable as a rock. Don’t worry too much. Those little rats can only try to snoop at most and don’t dare to mess around.”

“This time the fight is so short, it seems that the spirit demon Great Sage didn’t want to fight too seriously.” Bai Shuixian sneered, “These decrepit monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years are greedy cowards that fear death, so how can they go around fighting to the death so casually?”

Kun-Lai made dozens of expeditions to the Outlands over the years, and they had long known what the laws of the Outlands were like with the weak being prey to the strong.

Every spirit demon Great Sage was an expert at running and escaping with their lives. They fight if they can win, and they run away if they can’t. They did not have to worry about developing heart demons about their dignity at all. The spirit demons that didn’t know how to run were dead long ago and could not have lived to become a Great Sage.

Their cultivation obstacles were almost nothing. So long as they could afford the time and live the longest, they could always become a Great Sage.

Heaven was fair and gave strengths to make up for weaknesses. While it was extremely difficult for spirit demons to activate their spiritual wisdom, their life span was extremely long. Humans were born with spiritual roots and wisdom, but their life spans were short.

So this time it was fine.

“Revise this time’s expedition route, we’ll pass over the Kunwu tiger spirit demons’ territory.” Yan Zhao said indifferently, “their neighbors in the Great Wind Region have long wanted to invite us over, so prepare resources suitable for trade with them instead.”

“It should be like this, we have also explored the situation in that domain, and it’s come time to harvest.” Another junior brother agreed.

“Then go and prepare.” Bai Shuixian waved her hand, “When the Dragon-Phoenix Selection is ​​over, we will prepare for the expedition.”

So everyone scattered like birds.

Ji Yunlai was even more unhappy to hear this. If they didn’t report this stuff to him, who would he test his sword on in the future?

So, it was no wonder he could only be gentle towards Xiao Qing… his daughter… as for his daughter, he still needed to wait a little longer, in any case he could just pay more attention to her in the future.

When Ji Yunlai returned back inside the paper man, he found that he was hung on the window, and the wind was blowing and blowing at him. He was practically like a string tied on a fan.

And Xiao Qing was looking at him nervously on one side.

“What is this?” Ji Yunlai pointed to the thin red rope tied to his hand, asking his apprentice to explain the situation clearly.

“You fell suddenly just now,” Feng Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, with a gentle expression asking for praise, “This is the old method of soul evocation, so I tried it. The effect is really good indeed, I just hung Master up, and Master came back.”

The paper man was silent for a while, and then said lightly: “…My apprentice, let’s make up for a missed lesson today.”

Today he must teach him a lesson and let him know what it meant to respect the teacher!

***

On the second day, Feng Qingxiu did not come out. Senior Sister Tu and Ji Mingyu were surprised so they knocked on the door and asked. After finding out that he was practicing talisman seals, they sighed that Senior Brother was very diligent and then went shopping arm in arm.

“I saw a clothing store yesterday. Although the materials are not very good, the styles are very unique and the patterns are also beautiful.” Senior Sister Tu expressed that as a white rabbit, she loved all kinds of beautiful clothes.

“Then let’s go and have a look. I also saw a jewelry shop that I like. The peacock hairpin there is very beautiful. I’ll bring it back and have the Qi Peak make a few more similar ones.” Ji Mingyu was more interested in jewelry.

“Then you need to save some for me. By the way, there are several kinds of mundane fruit growing in the south of the city. They have a unique taste. I want to take some back and cultivate them with spiritual energy. Maybe it will become another kind of spiritual fruit one day.” Senior Sister Tu smiled.

“That’s good, your family’s signature spiritual carrots have cultivated more than 20 varieties by now. It’s a good thing to add more fruit varieties!”

“I will treat you to some at that time~”

The two chatted and laughed, making various big purchases along the way. Manservant Ye Han followed them along the way, in charge of carrying their purchases and acting as compass. They shopped until the moon was high up.

When they came back, Feng Qingxiu went out for dinner.

The Foundation Establishment Stage still required food and the body had yet to become a little world of its own, a realm where one could sustain itself on wind and drinking dew.

The food on the flying peak had already begun to be charged and it was not cheap.

Feng Qingxiu discovered that Senior Sister Tu and Ji Mingyu were eating happily, but he did not see Ye Han.

He finally found him in a daze in the corner.

“What’s wrong?” Big brother Feng Qingxiu switched on his confidante mode and began to show care towards his fellow Kun-Lai disciple.

“Just taking a breather,” Ye Han’s face still showed traces of lingering fear, “We went out today, and the two of them had all kinds of opinions. When there was a dispute, they would ask me what I think, how do I have any opinions on this kind of thing…”

What they bought were clothes, dresses, jewelry and all kinds of girly things. Of course, Ye Han could only say good, but how could these two ladies be all that reasonable?

They insisted Ye Han say what was good and what was bad, practically causing his head to explode.

Reply just a bit perfunctorily and he would be criticized in various ways.

Compared with this, carrying their purchases which filled several expanded pockets was no problem at all.

“Senior Brother, how about you teach me to identify the various styles, you are born to a gentry family and should know this clearly, right?” Ye Han thought about it, and said gravely, “I must make preparations for tomorrow.”

“I actually can’t help you with this…” Feng Qingxiu said helplessly, “I went to Kun-Lai Mountain very early on, so just grit your teeth and hold on for two more days.”

“…” Ye Han could only agree, and then his eyes fell on the paper man stuck to his neck.

Feng Qingxiu decisively covered it and looked on guard.

“It was just a look.” Ye Han said in a very aggrieved manner.

“What do you even see?” Feng Qingxiu asked him strangely. The paper man was ignored by the others along the way, and only Ye Han noticed it.

“I didn’t see anything at the beginning, but later when we approached Xiao Yuan, it seemed that I got something from him.” Ye Han was also confused, “Then I suddenly knew it was a consciousness transmitting talisman.”

“Don’t look anymore, let’s go eat now.” Feng Qingxiu didn’t want to discuss the paper man and changed the subject.

“Fine.”

***

After Xiao Yuan left, the upper echelons of Great Xiao State panicked for a while.

However, Xiao Yuan was after all the Teacher of the State sent by Kun-Lai, and Kun-Lai was actually more responsible for this mess-up.

So it was not easy to delve in depth into the matter.

But the key issue was that the biggest Heart Asking Stone of the capital was gone, and this was a heavy blow to the capital.

Although those who colluded with Xiao Yuan had been cleaned up from the top to the bottom, no one knew where the Heart Asking Stone went.

This was something related to the national fortune. Although the Western Continent was rich nowadays, and ordinary people could eat fully and dress warmly, which was already a manifestation of the prosperity of the country. But even for the nobles traveling a long distance was very expensive, not to mention for those ordinary civilians who lived far away from the surrounding area and must lodge in inns for many days.

If they had to spend their own money to go to the neighboring city, not to mention the long distance, the fact that there was overcrowding alone was a headache.

If so many people could not attend the Selection for this reason this time, it was inevitable that major unrest would happen.

The emperor of the Great Xiao State visited the flying peak several times and wanted to ask for another Heart Asking Stone, presenting a large list of treasures to show his sincerity.

But how was this something the flying peak master could make promises on.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

This pot was pushed onto Feng Qingxiu, who was the Sect Leader’s only apprentice, as the Heart Asking Stone, which tested for spiritual roots and spiritual understanding, was made by the Sect Leader of Kun-Lai.

“Master, what do you think?” His little apprentice asked the paper man obediently.

“It doesn’t take much time to redo one, but my real self can’t leave Kun-Lai…” The paper man stopped and suddenly clapped his hands, “Come, I will teach you to make it.”

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 071 Lamb Spine Hot Pot

The three people stayed at the headquarters of FlyNews all afternoon. During the period, Tao Mu and Yun Yi very enthusiastically introduced the functions and development status of each department of FlyNews to Li Xiaoheng.

In the evening, Tao Mu took the initiative and treated all employees who worked overtime to eat a takeaway meal from a five-star hotel. Then brought Li Xiaoheng and Yun Yi back to his small apartment opposite Beijing Film.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Brother Li said he wants to eat the home-cooked food I made. So I will show off to everyone this evening.” Tao Mu took the two to the fresh supermarket outside the community first. When the clerk saw Tao Mu, she immediately greeted him enthusiastically: “Isn’t this Xiao Tao, come out to buy groceries again? If you ask me, there are really not many boys like you who are diligent and good at cooking now. If a girl can find someone like you, it would be a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes. By the way, there is new lamb today, which is very fresh. Would you like to have some?”

Tao Mu smiled and greeted the clerk auntie, then turned to ask Li Xiaoheng and Yun Yi: “Do you all eat mutton? Up for eating lamb spine hot pot?”

Yun Yi was a native of Beijing, and he liked to eat lamb. He would go to Wen Juxiang twice a month to satisfy his craving. Although Li Xiaoheng was also a native of Beijing, he went to country M to study after graduating from high school. After a few years, don’t know whether he would still be used to eating mutton.

Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, “I don’t usually eat lamb. But I believe in your craftsmanship.”

Tao Mu was amused when he heard the words: “Then you can rest assured. My craftsmanship is very good.”

Tao Mu was really not bragging about himself, he was also considered to be a direct disciple taught by Mr. Song himself. He was really not afraid of anyone in terms of cooking.

Tao Mu bought ten catties of lamb spine, two catties of mutton leg bones, a large piece of mutton and a lamb chop under the enthusiastic introduction of the clerk auntie. He then went to the seasoning area and bought a lot of seasonings such as black bean sauce, Chinese cinnamon, fennel seed, etc. Then he went to the vegetable area to select a few fresh vegetables, and the three young men each carried two large bags full of ingredients and left the supermarket. Before going upstairs, Tao Mu went to the pharmacy to buy a few large Chinese herbal medicines such as Indian long pepper, Chinese foxglove and Mongolian milkvetch. Only then did they go upstairs with big bags and small bags.

It was the first time Yun Yi came here. After entering the door, he took a turn around in interest, and finally stood in front of the photo wall, letting out the same sigh of emotion as Li Xiaoheng: “Sure enough, Xiao Mu, you were so cute when you were a kid.”

Tao Mu cleaned up the ingredients in the kitchen, and said with a smile: “What do you mean cute? That’s called handsome. I was very handsome when I was a child. The aunties in the orphanage like me very much. The neighbors also like me. And it was because our old man saw that I was handsome when I was a child, so he wanted to accept me as a direct disciple and even wanted to pass Song Ji to me.”

Yun Yi took off his coat and wanted to go into the kitchen to help. But Tao Mu shooed him out: “Look at how small the kitchen is, can it still fit a third person?”

The second person who was washing vegetables in front of the faucet glanced at Yun Yi who was standing at the kitchen entrance with inexplicable pride: Who told you to walk around without occupying favorable terrain when you first entered the house.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Yun Yi was very embarrassed: “But I can’t  just let you two do all the work in the kitchen while I watch by the side. That’s not good.”

“What’s not good” Tao Mu said with a smile: “Do you think brother Li can cook? He can only help me wash the vegetables at best. Later, the both of you will go to the living room and sit. Just watch TV and chat. There are fruit drinks, snacks, and beer in the refrigerator. You can eat something casual for now, but don’t eat too much, lest you won’t be able to fit in dinner later.”

Yun Yi’s heart moved: “There is still fruit in the refrigerator? How about I go and mix a fruit salad?”

What Tao Mu was going to make was lamb spine hot pot in red soup, as well as grilled lamb chops and braised lamb, which could be said to be half a whole lamb feast. Yun Yi worried that everyone would suffer from excessive internal heat after eating too much mutton, and felt that making a fruit salad or something could reduce the heat. (Excessive internal heat comes from traditional Chinese medicine)

Tao Mu actually thought of this as well, and was planning to make a snow fungus and sweet pear soup and put it in the refrigerator first. But adding a fruit salad as well was also fine.

Yun Yi said again: “I’ll help you chop vegetables. Don’t look at my mediocre cooking skills, I can still help out with such things.”

Tao Mu turned his head and looked at the time, and it was past five o’clock in the evening. He really had to hurry up, otherwise it would be too late: “Okay. Then, brother Li, you can go out first. The three of us really can’t turn around in the kitchen. Besides, you just flew back from country M, and you must be tired too. Go lie down for a while and recover from jet lag, we’ll eat in a while.”

Other than washing vegetables, Li Xiaoheng, who had not acquired any kitchen skills, could only be ostracized from the kitchen. Standing at the door of the kitchen, he calmly looked at Tao Mu and Yun Yi, who cooperated very tacitly, and made up his mind to learn how to cook when he went back home.

It was early winter, and Yun Yi was wearing a white turtleneck sweater. He stood in front of the cutting board, making uniform and even cutting sounds as he cut the vegetables. Tao Mu turned his head and said with a smile: “Brother Yun, you have good knife skills.”

Yun Yi smiled slightly: “I am studying surgery, this is basic operations.”

Tao Mu looked at the neat row of lotus root slices under Yun Yi’s knife, smiled and praised: “People who can use the scalpel are indeed different. The hand is very stable.”

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Li Xiaoheng subconsciously looked at his own slender hands: his hands were also very stable when he was trading. The knife should be no problem for him too.

Tao Mu made a lamb spine hot pot, a dish of grilled lamb chops, a dish of red braised lamb, a pot of snow fungus and sweet pear soup, and a dish of steamed lotus root stuffed with sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice. Chef Yun Yi also added a fruit salad to the meal.

Though they rushed so quickly, it was already 7:30 in the evening when all the dishes were finally served on the table.

“It’s a bit late.” Tao Mu scratched his head, raised a can of cold beer and smiled: “After dinner, everyone can only go work out at our respective homes.”

“Come, let’s all have a toast.” Yun Yi also raised his glass: “Thank you, Chef Tao for preparing us such a sumptuous dinner.”

“Can’t forget everyone else.” Tao Mu smiled and toasted: “I am also very grateful to brother Yun and brother Li for your friendly assistance. This meal can be regarded as a welcoming dinner for brother Li.”

Li Xiaoheng smiled and clinked glasses with Tao Mu, and then with Yun Yi: “Thank you Xiao Mu for this kind of intention. I accept it.”

Yun Yi couldn’t wait to clamp a piece of lamb spine and take a bite. In an instant, the rich mutton aroma filled his mouth with a hint of spiciness. Yun Yi’s eyes lit up, and he gave Tao Mu a thumbs up: “It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”

“It must be delicious.” Tao Mu was particularly shameless and boasted: “It’s my ancestral craftsmanship. There is absolutely no match.”

As he said, he used public chopsticks to clamp a piece of lamb spine for Li Xiaoheng, pointed to the plastic gloves on the table and smiled: “Brother Li, please don’t be reserved. You must eat lamb spine hot pot with your hands.”

Li Xiaoheng put down his chopsticks, put on plastic gloves obediently, and lowered his head to nibble on the piece of lamb spine. The lamb meat was very delicate, tender and plump. It melted in the mouth and was not greasy at all. And though it was obviously spicy, it didn’t feel so spicy that it would give you heartburn. On the contrary, it tasted particularly fragrant. With just a bite one could nealy become drunk from it.

In Yun Yi’s words, it was the kind of fragrance that could lift the top of one’s skull.

The lamb chops were also grilled to the point of perfection. The skin was golden brown and crispy, sprinkled with sesame seeds, cumin seeds, ground chili and pepper, but the inside was very tender and there was not much juice, so it would not feel fatty, but also definitely not too dry. The taste was just right with a slightly burnt aroma. The braised lamb was so fresh that one almost couldn’t resist swallowing one’s tongue.

Even a person like Li Xiaoheng who didn’t eat mutton very much, was surprised to realize that he had eaten at least four or five catties of mutton by the end of the meal. Sure enough, Tao Mu’s cooking skills were amazing.

“Sure enough, you are all carnivores.” Tao Mu looked at the remaining half of the steamed lotus root stuffed with sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and the fruit salad that hadn’t been touched much. Instantly, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “All the meat is gone but you leave behind the vegetable dishes. The contrast is a bit tragic.”

Yun Yi couldn’t help laughing: “It’s okay. I am on duty at night. If you are worried about it wasting, I can pack up the leftovers and take it with me. Anyway, I will be hungry by the middle of the night.”

“You not only eat a lot, you even want to pack up the rest with you.” Tao Mu deliberately put on an incredulous appearance: “Big brother Yun, you are too much!”

Li Xiaoheng touched his extended, faintly swollen belly, and blinked his eyes inexplicably. It seemed that he ate the most of this meal.

Will Tao Mu dislike him?

Tao Mu didn’t mean to complain about the two bigwigs. After eating and drinking, he seemed to inadvertently put forward a topic he had prepared for a long time: “Hey, I say, if you two partner together, how about doing a Sky Eye project?”

“Sky Eye?” Yun Yi and Li Xiaoheng looked at each other, wondering what Tao Mu was selling.

“It’s the inspiration given to me by Yun Duo’s experience in H Town.” Tao Mu toughened his skin and shamelessly spoke in front of the two tycoons who created Sky Eye Technology in the previous life: “…..just want to create a nationwide surveillance system software, plus face recognition system…..”

Tao Mu explained a little bit about the main operating projects of the future Sky Eye Technology in front of the two bigwigs. He even wrote a detailed and comprehensive plan and handed it to the two big bosses.

It seemed that there was indeed destiny, and when Yun Yi saw this plan he unconsciously felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity rushing over him.

Tao Mu smiled and said to Yun Yi: “Big brother Yun, haven’t you been learning programming on your own recently. I think you will definitely be interested in this project. The technology shall depend on you~”

Yun Yi was startled instantly: “I have been learning programming for less than two months. Aren’t you too optimistic towards me?”

“Believe in yourself, you can do it.” Tao Mu was confident about the future richest man, and he did not allow Yun Yi to doubt himself: “Anyway, we have time so don’t worry.”

Yun Yi looked at Tao Mu blankly: Bro, you know that you are spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm, do you?

Classmate Tao Mu, who finally returned the business plan to its rightful owner, was feeling pleased and refreshed, and expressed casually: “I believe in your strength, big brother Yun Yi. This little problem will definitely not trouble you.”

He then asked Li Xiaoheng again: “If big brother Yun really made this technology, would you like to invest in his project?”

When it came to work, Li Xiaoheng considered it very seriously, and solemnly said: “Very likely. The development prospects of this project are very good, and it is also of a public welfare nature. Once it is done, whether it is a return on income or a word-of-mouth publicity to the company, it will all be very impressive.”

Tao Mu was immediately satisfied: “I knew you two would hit it off right away. Sure enough, there is a tacit understanding.”

What do you mean?

Yun Yi and Li Xiaoheng looked at each other with question marks. They didn’t understand Tao Mu’s thinking at all.

Tao Mu, however, presented a cool and unrestrained manner of “flicking one’s clothes and retreating after accomplishment”. Before, because he successfully rescued Yun Duo and her friends, he almost butterflied away Yun Yi’s future of becoming the richest man.

Although Tao Mu never regretted what he had done, every time he faced Yun Yi, he would inevitably feel a little guilty. As if he had accidentally changed a person’s future.

If this kind of change developed in a good direction——for example, Gou Rixin, Tao Mu was naturally happy. But if it was Yun Yi, Tao Mu couldn’t be sure whether his change was good or bad, and so this would inevitably make him feel a little uncomfortable.

But it was all right now. No matter what Yun Yi chose to do in the future, he had put the second possibility in front of Yun Yi. Even if Yun Yi still felt that being a cardiologist was happier than being the richest man, Tao Mu would have no regrets. By now, he regarded Yun Yi as his good friend and no longer had the mentality of holding on to a golden thigh, so his mindset naturally changed.

He now had FlyNews, and he was also cooperating with Li Xiaoheng to short international crude oil. After the international crude oil turmoil came to an end, he had completed the accumulation of his startup funds and he still had ten years of future knowledge to invest in various emerging companies and shoot various movies and TV shows with small costs and big returns. He could completely rely on his own efforts to become a new capitalist bigwig and technology tycoon.

Like a young seedling struggling to grow into a towering tree in the midst of a storm, like a fledgling bird that was struggling to grow into an eagle, Tao Mu ambitiously accumulated strength and capital.

He felt that even if his relatives and friends preferred a life of peace and average prosperity, he could still strive to become a big tree and eagle that sheltered the wind and rain for them. When the storm approached, he would open his arms and protect all his relatives and friends under his wings.

He will make up for the regrets of the previous life and cherish those who treated him sincerely.

Perhaps this was what he should do the most after being reborn.

Thinking about it this way, Tao Mu slept especially soundly that night. It was a pity that this good mood was broken the next day——

After more than two months of selection, the National School Beauty And School Hunk Competition finally ushered in the finals on December 12th. After more than one hundred players had gone through multiple rounds of elimination and withdrawing from the competition, only four male and female contestants were left. Among the eight people, the final winners of the National School Hunk and National School Beauty were Gu Xun, a senior from Beijing Film, and Chu Zi, a junior from Yan Film respectively.

Of these two people, one was a newcomer who won the Golden Crow Award for Best Actor in the first movie he acted in, while the other was a popular starlet who became popular overnight with a costume idol drama. The selection of these two could be said to have been well-received.

However, after the notary invited by the program crew announced the total number of netizens’ votes. Because of Shen Yu’s loss, Shen Yu’s fans broke out with great dissatisfaction. They left messages online questioning the fairness of the voting process. Thinking that the program crew must have acted unfairly due to Tao Mu’s attitude, causing Shen Yu to lose his win.

——After all, during the show, Shen Yu complained in front of the media that Tao Mu was not good to him, which once caused netizens to criticize Tao Mu himself.

Shen Yu’s brainless fans believed that Tao Mu must be retaliating. Otherwise, it didn’t make sense that their beloved little prince would lose to that ugly Beijing Film student in the voting session. (Beijing Film senior: blame me for not having an idol face!) A large group of brainless fans commented on the Internet, and accused Tao Mu of using the National School Hunk title as a favor everywhere they could, deliberately favoring Beijing Film, and using the championship to please his senior.

Some remarks even spread over on the hot search of Weibo next door. A lot of gossip media also followed the trend with reports that only added fuel to the fire. Some netizens who didn’t know the truth were immediately led by the nose. Even the other two male contestants who entered the finals together had a lot of criticism. Subtly implying that the program crew might have been influenced by a certain someone——

After all, the two contestants who won the champion title of Nation School Beauty and National School Hunk could have their pick either to sign with Longteng Entertainment or Summer Star Entertainment, and could also make direct debuts in idol dramas under the company’s arrangement. This kind of treatment was definitely something to inspire extreme jealousy for contestants who were interested in entering the entertainment circle.

In such a jealous state of mind, these young boys and girls became affected by the outside world, so it was reasonable that they would blurt out something rashly.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The program crew saw this bad trend, and had to call Tao Mu to ask what to do next.

Tao Mu…..Tao Mu was also particularly speechless!

Sure enough, this group of people indeed had grudges with him in the previous life, and they won’t let him live a single good day!

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 070 Tacit Understanding

After lunch, Tao Mu was planning to go to the hospital to see brother Da Hui so Li Xiaoheng drove him over. Arriving at the entrance of the hospital, Tao Mu thought of something, and suddenly he took out his mobile phone and dialed Yun Yi. Hearing that he happened to be an intern in the hospital, he immediately smiled and said, “What a coincidence. I just wanted to introduce someone to you. Originally, I was thinking about waiting for you both to have free time, then I could invite you both out. But unexpectedly you two have such affinity.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Li Xiaoheng, who was sitting on the side, heard this and felt a little depressed. He couldn’t help but squeeze the steering wheel.

The two got out of the car together. Tao Mu called his Yao Dad again and asked him which ward Da Hui was staying in. Taking advantage of this time, Li Xiaoheng went directly to the 24hr supermarket next to the hospital to buy a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket. Tao Mu smiled: “You don’t have to be so polite.”

Li Xiaoheng smiled slightly: “It’s no problem.”

Tao Mu didn’t say more when he saw this. He actually wanted to say that brother Da Hui had an upright personality and didn’t care about these courtesies. He would much prefer roast chicken and two beers from the deli to visit him instead of flowers and fruits. But Tao Mu thought, as he and Li Xiaoheng were only business partners, and they haven’t seen each other much. Since Li Xiaoheng had the intention, it was better not to say too much for fear that it would brush away the other’s good intentions.

Of course, Li Xiaoheng didn’t know Tao Mu’s thoughts. He just felt that it was not good to be empty-handed when visiting someone in the hospital for the first time, so he bought some flowers and fruits according to common practice. Of course, with Li Xiaoheng’s past experience, even if he was beaten to death, he would not have thought that one could also bring something like roast chicken and beer for a hospital visit.

The two entered the elevator in silence. Out of politeness, Tao Mu took over the fruit basket in Li Xiaoheng’s hands. The two of them entered the ward with flowers and fruit, and Liu Yao and the others were taken aback when they saw this.

Tao Mu explained with a smile: “After we finished lunch, I said I wanted to see brother Da Hui. Brother Li brought me here. These flowers and fruit basket were bought by brother Li.”

Da Hui, who was lying on the hospital bed, immediately smiled and said, “Too much trouble, Mr. Li. You are too polite.”

Meng Qi, who was next to Liu Yao, already knew the relationship between Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu, and the role that Li Xiaoheng played in this out-of-court settlement. He smiled and said, “Many thanks to Mr. Li for helping this time.”

“Xiao Mu is my most valued business partner who has helped me a lot in the international crude oil market. I have nothing to repay him back these are all things I should do.” In the presence of Liu Yao and Meng Qi, Li Xiaoheng inexplicably felt awkward and his speech suddenly became more genteel.

Liu Yao and Meng Qi were not clear on this. Therefore, they sighef in their hearts that a son of an affluent damily was indeed different. Even the way they speak was refined, and was completely diffrent from little common people like them.

While talking, Liu Yao’s cell phone rang again. He walked out to take the call. When he came back again, his eyes when looking at Li Xiaoheng couldn’t help become even more cordial.

——Da Hui was stopped in a small alley by a bunch of people with steel pipes and baseball bats. The people who beat him was fairly well-measured in their use of strength, and they didn’t hit the head or target internal organs. If he went under examination, he might not even be able to be appraised with minor injuries. Even if they were reported to the police, they would only be detained for fifteen days and fined one thousand eight hundred yuan. Don’t know whether it was Yao Wenxiao’s special instructions or the own opinion of the people who carried out the beating.

So after Liu Yao first learned of Da Hui’s injury, he was quite a bit depressed. It was not because he felt that the beating was too light, but that Da Hui might have suffered the beating in vain. He originally wanted to find a few brothers to beat the beaters and Yao Wenxiao to relieve the anger but was stopped by Meng Qi.

Meng Qi felt that since they were doing serious law abiding business, they didn’t need to use the previous street methods. Besides, using violence to solve problems was inherently the worst method. They were Tao Mu’s fathers now. As fathers, they couldn’t do things without thinking like before. It didn’t matter if they left themselves a mess, but they had to nake sure it would not implicate Tao Mu and FlyNews.

Liu Yao had always been a recklwss hot-tempered guy. Now that he had a son, he now had things to worry and be concerned about. Meng Qi persuaded Liu Yao, and then turned around and ordered one of Liu Yao’s gang of brothers to call the police, and let the reporters of FlyNews Entertainment expose Yao Wenxiao’s hiring thugs to commit violence.

As a result, when the brother arrived at the police station he heard that the case had actually already been filed, and the few grandsons who beat Da Hui were caught. The police had also gone to the hotel to detain Yao Wenxiao. When he asked an acquaintance to make some inquires on this, it turned out that the case was reported by an acquaintance of Mr. Li of Xiaoheng Capital, which was why the action taken was so fast. The brother was happy and quickly called Liu Yao about this.

Liu Yao didn’t expect Li Xiaoheng to be so thorough in his work. It was just something he had said in passing when he was leaving, and yet Mr. Li actually took it to heart.

He really deserved to be doing big business. His methods of winning people’s hearts was extraordinary.

Listening to Liu Yao’s praise, Li Xiaoheng laughed and said, “It’s just lifting a finger really.”

“It may be a luft of the finger for CEO Li but it has helped us a lot.” Liu Yao smiled and looked at Da Hui: “How about it, has the anger been vented this time?”

Tao Mu thought of something and he immediately suggested to his Xiao Qi Dad: “Send the reporters of FlyNews Entertainment to keep a stakeout at the entrance of the police station and the hotel. Take pictures of Yao Wenxiao being taken away. It will be the headline today.”

Tao Mu had long wanted to deal with Sheng’an Group. Prior to this, the worse the public’s perception of the Sheng’an Group, the more favorable it would be for his next actions.

Meng Qi also thought of this and made a few phone calls immediately. Within an hour, the news that Yao Wenxiao hired thugs and was detained immediately made the headlines of FlyNews Entertainment and was labelled with a red ‘hot’ sign. A few minutes later, other media who confirmed the accuracy of the news reprinted it. In the evening, the news that “the grandson of the chairman of Sheng’an Group was detained in Beijing for hiring thugs for assault” had spread all over the Internet. In conjunction with the previous news that “Yuxiao Media bribed the media to discredit Tao Mu”, most netizens were not surprisingly disgusted with Yao Wenxiao as well as the Sheng’an Group behind Yao Wenxiao.

But this was all afterwords.

After leaving Da Hui’s ward, Tao Mu directly called Yun Yi and learned that Yun Yi was doing rounds, so he went to the rehabilitation department to visit Gou Rixin, who had undergone a successful operation and was recuperating.

Da Gou’s condition was recovering well. The doctor said that after another six months of recuperation, he would almost fully recover without leaving any side effects. Mother Gou was very grateful to Tao Mu for this. She was very enthusiastic when she saw Tao Mu and Tao Mu’s friend. In front of Li Xiaohang, she praised Tao Mu, praising him as if he was ccomepletely matchless under the sky, causing Tao Mu to feel quite embarrassed.

Li Xiaoheng was calm on the surface but he was very happy inside. He also kept nodding his head to echo mother Gou’s words: “What you said is particularly right…..I also think Xiao Mu is a particularly good person…..That’s right…..”

Tao Mu originally wanted to talk to Gou Rixin about what he planned to do in the future. But being sung praises by Li Xiaoheng and mother Gou like they were doing a comedy routine had him feeling to embarrassed to talk anymore. He could only leave in a hurry with Li Xiaoheng.

“I say, brother Li, mother Gou was so enthusiastic about me because I helped brother Gou. What are you doing joining in the excitement. There are still so many other people in that recovery room.” Tao Mu was speechless: “I think those patients and their families looked at me as if they were watching a monkey show.”

“Then that must be the most best looking monkey king.” Li Xiaoheng said warmly.

Tao Mu instantly became even more speechless: “Brother Li, enough of you already. I say, could it be you don’t often speak Chinese in country M, so when you finally come back you are taking the opportunity to practice your Chinese with me?”

Li Xiaoheng smiled and looked at the embarrassed Tao Mu, feeling refreshed and satisfied. He felt that the person in front of him at this moment was truly relaxed and finally appeared a little more alive.

“How dare I use Xiao Mu to practice my Chiness? You are the most important business partner in my mind. There is no one else. I want nothing more than to respect you and trust you. It can only be said that these things are what I want to say from the bottom of my heart.” Li Xiaoheng expressed earnestly: “You can feel embarrassed, but you can’t slander my heart.”

After a pause, Li Xiaoheng said again: “Maybe I have been in country M for a long time, and I have received more influence from Western culture. I like to speak straightforwardly and am not very tactful. Are you not used to it?”

Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng in disbelief! Are you just a little untactful? You are simply blowing rainbow fart very obviously, alright?

Tao Mu expressionlessly led his business partner, who believed himself to be very enthusiastic and straightforward, to find another business partner of his.

At this time, Yun Yi just finished the inspection with the chief physician of the cardiology surgery department. He was standing in the corridor outside the cardiology surgeon’s lounge in a white coat. His aura was gentle like the light breeze, elegant, profound, and uprigjt and vigorous. The passing family members of the patients and the uniformed nurses all couldn’t help looking at him. There were also female patients and female family members who kept coming over to chat with him under the guise of inquiring about their condition.

Tao Mu chuckled in amusement when he saw this, and when the group of people around Yun Yi finally dispersed, he walked up and joked: “Big brother Yun is very popular.”

Yun Yi smiled bitterly: “You have been watching on the side for so long, and yet you don’t come over and help me.”

“I would feel too bad to let so many girls down.” Tao Mu replied with a smile, and introduced Li Xiaoheng to Yun Yi: “This is my most important business partner, Li Xiaoheng, the founder of Xiaoheng Capital.”

He smiled and said to Li Xiaoheng: “This is the big brother Yun Yi I told you about.”

Li Xiaoheng looked at Yun Yi calmly, and Yun Yi also looked over with a smile. The two held out their hands at the same time: “Good to meet you.”

Yun Yi smiled and said: “I heard Xiao Mu mentioned Mr. Li many times. Saying that Mr. Li is a successful talent and can rely on his own strength to create Xiaoheng Capital at a young age, even managing to have a place on Wall Street.”

“I also heard Xiao Mu often praise Mr. Yun.” Li Xiaoheng said this but in his heart he added privately that actually there was no such thing, just this once earlier today. On the surface, he vhatted calmly: “After seeing you today, Mr. Yun really is a rare young talent.”

The two exchanged pleasantries and put down their right hand at the same time. They then turned their heads to look at Tao Mu.

Tao Mu, who was expecting the two to hit it off right away at first sight, amd then immediately walk on to the glorious road of capital and high technology, looked at the two in a dazed manner: “?”

Go ahead and have a chat, what are you looking at me for?

Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu with a smile, and Yun Yi also looked at Tao Mu with a polite smile. The three of them stared at each other for a while, and Tao Mu had to come back to his senses. It was a pity to find that neither of these two bigwigs had intentions of hitting it off.

“Brother Li, are you busy later?” Tao Mu asked Li Xiaoheng first. After all, Li Xiaoheng had just returned from country M, and Tao Mu didn’t know if Li Xiaoheng had any work that had to be dealt with.

Li Xiaoheng immediately got Tao Mu’s implication and actively invited him: “I have nothing to do. I don’t know if Mr. Yun is free this evening, we can find a place to chat?”

Yun Yi immediately smiled and said: “Of course it is fine with me. I don’t know if CEO Li is interested in FlyNews. If you are interested, we can visit the headquarters of FlyNews in the evening.”

Yun Yi misunderstood Tao Mu’s meaning. He thought Tao Mu pulled Li Xiaoheng over because he wanted him to help persuade Li Xiaoheng to invest in FlyNews. As his friend trusted him so much, Yun Yi certainly couldn’t not be up to the task, and offered to invite the him immediately.

Li Xiaoheng has been following Tao Mu for a long time, and he naturally knew that Flyanews was Tao Mu’s painstaking heart’s blood. When he was in country M, he proposed to have FlyNews go online in country M. Hearing Yun Yi’s invitation at this moment, of course he would not refuse.

Tao Mu originally wanted to bring these two bigwigs together for a fateful meeting. Seeing Yun Yi put the meeting place at FlyNews headquarters and that Li Xiaoheng also readily agreed. He immediately sighed with emotion that it was worthy of the tacit understanding between capitalist bigshot and high-tech tycoon from the previous life. As expected, the inertia of history could not be violated.

The three each had their own calculations, and at the moment it was quite similar to chickens trying to have a conversation with ducks, but the scene was an extremely harmonious one. They happily went off to the headquarters of FlyNews together.
