My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 21: The Proud Zhang Family Members!
Of course, Ye Lingyue didn’t know that as a Cultivator, Yang Qi’s Spiritual Energy could suppress such nefarious thoughts.
"The money has been transferred to your account. You can check it."
Ye Lingyue had initially wanted to tempt this man into revealing his identity, but now she had changed her mind. I can’t afford to offend someone like him. I’ll just have to maintain our relationship slowly.
"By the way, this is our Ye Family’s VIP card," Ye Lingyue said, handing one over. "With this card, you can get a ten percent discount on any purchase at our Ye Family’s auction houses, stores, or online shops in Jingzhou."
"Thank you!" Yang Qi accepted it readily. A freebie this good is not to be missed. The Ye Family’s biggest businesses in Jingzhou are retail and online platforms, so this card will save me a fortune in the future.
Yang Qi opened his phone and checked the transfer notification. "So much!" I can’t believe an ordinary Body Tempering Pill sold for over one hundred million. I really didn’t expect that. I thought ten million would be the limit. It seems these pills are still in short supply.
"We have already deducted the commission and taxes," Ye Lingyue said.
"Alright then, I’ll take my leave." Yang Qi nodded. With this money, he could stage a comeback. Once he established the company, he could leave its management entirely to others and just be the boss behind the scenes. This wouldn’t interfere with his Cultivation either.
"Sir, if you have any more treasures in the future, please bring them to our Ye Family auction house. We will definitely give you the most satisfactory terms!" Ye Lingyue saw Yang Qi out of her office and even escorted him downstairs.
"Mm." Yang Qi nodded and then vanished into the crowd.
"Manager Ye, should we follow him?" the secretary asked from beside her.
"No!" Ye Lingyue shook her head. "It’s best not to offend people like him. If you do, there might be no chance to recover. We’ll just have to build the relationship slowly. I have a feeling he’ll be back."
"Then can’t we buy his formula?" the secretary asked again.
"Heh," Ye Lingyue chuckled. "With a formula that profitable, do you really think he would sell it? You’re still too naive. Don’t be so eager for quick gains in your work, or we’ll be the ones who suffer in the end. Let’s go back."
When Yang Qi returned to his private courtyard, he took off his mask. Lin Qingxuan was standing at the entrance. He was slightly stunned and hurried over to greet her.
"You’re back!" Lin Qingxuan smiled. "Here, this is a gift I had Uncle Zhong bring from Jingzhou. They’re all top-notch medicinal herbs! I knew you needed them, so I’m giving them to you!"
"This must have cost quite a bit, right?" Yang Qi was touched.
"There’s no need to talk about money between us. Besides, my life is in your hands, isn’t it?" Lin Qingxuan laughed.
Yang Qi, however, looked embarrassed. I still haven’t dared to tell Lin Qingxuan that to completely dispel the Cold Poison from her Extreme Yin Body, we would need to be intimate at least eight more times. Eight times! How could that not be misunderstood? This is so awkward!
"Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer. Get some rest. Also, remember the bidding conference! You have to go!" Lin Qingxuan hopped away cheerfully, seemingly in a very good mood.
Just as Yang Qi was about to return to his room, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger, as if a ferocious tiger was staring him down. He whipped around and saw it was Zhong Qiang.
"Hmph!" Zhong Qiang didn’t speak, only snorting coldly before turning to leave. The threat, however, was palpable.
What’s he so smug about? Just wait until I break through to the Third Layer of the Qi Refining Stage. I’ll make you call me Grandpa! Annoyed, Yang Qi turned and went back into the courtyard.
Later that day, Yang Qi had completed his company’s registration and application and received the confirmation. The next step was to participate in the upcoming bidding conference under this new company’s name. However, he needed a helper, and he already had someone in mind.
Just then, Lin Qingxuan came to find him again. She said the Zhang Family was hosting a banquet at their estate that evening to celebrate the successful development of a new medicine, and she had received a special invitation.
"Should I go?" Lin Qingxuan asked with a smile.
"Go, why not? I have to go too, so let’s go together!"
The person Yang Qi was looking for was at the Zhang Family’s estate. This person, Ye Fei, was originally Yang Qi’s business partner. Yang Qi was responsible for research while Ye Fei handled operations, which was how their company had grown so large.
After the company collapsed, Yang Qi was nearly killed. Meanwhile, Ye Fei was framed, burdened with massive debt, and forced to sell himself into servitude to the Zhang Family. To put it bluntly, the Zhang Family only did it to humiliate them. The so-called massive debt was pure fiction. The powerful and influential Zhang Family had already slandered Yang Qi for stealing technology, so it was a simple matter for them to also frame Ye Fei for defaulting on loans.
"Alright, I’ll reply and tell them I’m coming!" Lin Qingxuan smiled. Although she didn’t know what Yang Qi was planning, she was eager to go along and watch the excitement. It’s sure to be interesting.
「The Zhang Family Mansion.」
The vast garden was exceptionally lively today, with many tables set for a feast. Numerous wealthy and influential figures from Kang City had been invited. With glasses clinking and voices mingling, the atmosphere was bustling with excitement.
The Zhang Family Head, Zhang Junwang, was flushed from the wine. "Hahaha, the heavens are blessing my Zhang Family! Ever since my son, Zhang Peng, returned from his studies, he has accomplished one great feat after another for our family. This new medicine will surely help us secure the partnership with the Lin Family of Jingzhou and take our Zhang Family in Kang City to even greater heights!"
Zhang Junwang, who had two sons and a daughter, mingled with the wealthy tycoons of Kang City, chatting and drinking amidst the clinking of glasses. The mood was pleasant and harmonious. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
The Zhang Family was already considered an emerging power in Kang City. Securing the deal with the Lin Family of Jingzhou would solidify their status as a true powerhouse. Zhang Junwang’s two sons and daughter would then stand out among their peers, becoming the center of attention.
The guests sat around a table, chatting. As they were all from the top echelon of Kang City’s society, their conversations naturally revolved around prominent figures.
"Speaking of Miss Lin Qingxuan of the Jingzhou Lin Family, she’s quite arrogant, isn’t she?"
"You can say that again! Even the richest man in Kang City has invited her several times, but he couldn’t even get a meeting!"
Hearing this, Zhang Junwang said proudly, "Gentlemen, you may not know this, but for today’s banquet, I also sent an invitation to this very Miss Lin!"
"Old Zhang, you must be dreaming. A person of her stature, why would she come to a banquet like this?" The crowd shook their heads, disbelieving, thinking Zhang Junwang was wasting his efforts.
Zhang Junwang just smiled and said nothing. I’m not so sure myself, but I had to give it a shot. What if she actually comes?
Just then, Zhang Peng suddenly announced excitedly, "We got a call! Assistant Qin says that Miss Lin is on her way here. She has accepted our invitation to the evening banquet."
"What! This is unbelievable! The Zhang Family is truly destined for greatness!" Zhang Junwang and the other family members were ecstatic.
"Congratulations, Old Zhang! It looks like the Jingzhou Lin Family’s deal is as good as yours!"
"That’s right, Old Zhang! Don’t forget about us brothers when you make it big!"
"Of course, of course!" Zhang Junwang couldn’t stop grinning. He thought so too.
