Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 286: Formidable Rival

"Hm? Time to show my mettle," Xia Liu said, slightly taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure.

He had been refining in the cave for eight days. If he couldn’t succeed, he would definitely have kept grinding away.

"What’s our company’s name?"

"Osmanthus Group! The legal representative is Xiaoxue," Huang Xue replied with a blink.

"Nice name!"

"Sister Fang and I also rented an office building, which is now fully decorated."

"Xue’er, you and Sister Fang are truly my lucky stars," Xia Liu couldn’t help but plant a kiss on the girl upon hearing such a perfect response.

"Hehe, Brother Xia Liu, I’m now the chairman, you know," Zhang Xiaoxue chuckled.

"I’m the president."

"I’m the general manager."

"I’m the director."

...

The women took turns stating their positions, which left Xia Liu asking with a frustrated face, "So, what position do I hold?"

"You’re the undercover worker, just comfort and visit the leaders," Fang Fei said with a winning smile.

"I’ll take it! I like this position," he said in acceptance.

Afterward, Xia Liu started bantering nonstop with the women.

In the afternoon, Fang Fei pulled Xia Liu aside to discuss something in private.

Of course, it was serious business, concerning the bidding event.

"Xia Liu, our company has just been established, which puts us at a disadvantage in the bidding," Fang Fei said worriedly.

Although they were well-prepared, this wasn’t something that could just be handled with connections.

With no one in the company, if the authorities got serious or if someone held on tightly and didn’t let go, they would definitely not win the bid.

"How much is the registered capital of the company?"

"Two and a half billion."

"Oh my God, where did all this money come from?" Xia Liu was shocked by the figure. Two and a half billion, a small group probably couldn’t come up with that, he thought.

"The villagers knew you were starting a company, so each household chipped in ten million, totaling five billion. The rest of the money is yours."

"Although I haven’t checked the balance in my card for many days, I estimate I don’t have twenty billion."

"I contributed too, anyway, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours," Fang Fei said with a giggle.

"Rich lady, do you need a talking ornament for your leg?" Xia Liu looked at Fang Fei with trembling, pitiful eyes.

Even though he didn’t know the exact amount, Xia Liu understood that the girl had given him everything.

"Don’t even start. My godfather gave me some information—you take a look. These are all potent groups that can compete for this project," she said as Fang Fei handed Xia Liu a document folder.

"No need to look. I just want to know, will Wanqing Group be participating?"

"For sure, Wanqing Group is Binlai City’s hegemon; how could they not be involved?"

"Alright, I got it. We’ll go together and take the bid," Xia Liu nodded. If Mo Wanqing were to be there, then this bid would surely be his.

"Don’t be complacent, though. Although Mo Wanqing might favor you, another very powerful rival from Wanqing Group will also be participating."

Seeing Xia Liu full of confidence, Fang Fei decided to give him a reality check.

"A formidable rival?"

"Yep, another behemoth group from Binlai City, Ye Group. From the name, it sounds like a legacy family."

"Ye Group, okay then. Legacy families aren’t scary."

"It would be strange if they weren’t formidable. They might not be able to fight you, but when it comes to money and brains, they can certainly outdo you."

"Pfft! Sister Fang, you really don’t have faith in me?" Xia Liu snorted. This girl was defying the heavens, belittling him by praising the strength of the opponent.

Xia Liu wanted to say that if he wished, what was the Ye Family, a mere trifle? Even the oldest and wealthiest Ross family in America would show him some respect.

"Alright, I’ll stop undermining you. But you’ve got to be cautious of that young master from the Ye Clan Family, I think his name is Ye Yiming or something."

"No worries, no matter if it’s Yiming or Erming, in my eyes, they can only look up to me."

"Okay, then there’s still more than a day left. You should really mingle with the sisters."

"Mingle about what?"

"Playing dumb now, huh! Go get some food, the mutual hurt-fest is starting come evening!"

…

It was nights of revelry during Xia Liu’s days at Longteng.

If it weren’t for his extraordinary physical fitness, he probably would have been worn out after a single night.

Fortunately, each time it was he who triumphed, the girls all cried for mercy.

Finally, the day of the bidding arrived.

The County Theater, a large traditional stage.

The entrance had large wooden doors arrayed in front, with many banners hung above, warmly congratulating the launch of the Hejing Eastern District project development.

Today was indeed a special day for Hejing.

Because on the streets there were countless luxury cars.

Ferraris, Bentleys, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces.

You name it, they had it.

All these cars had Binlai City license plates, and there were even some from neighboring cities.

The truth was, not all of them were qualified for the auction. Those who had come to spectate were there just to see who would clinch the Eastern District.

That was a surefire win. If one could cooperate with the winning company, they’d make a fortune.

So nobody wanted to miss this opportunity.

Xia Liu entered the venue alone, towering and solitary. Fang Fei had promised to come with him but got carried away last night.

The girl had insisted on going at it till dawn and, as for the other girls, they were sound asleep.

Two consecutive days, even robots couldn’t withstand Xia Liu’s ravaging.

"Xia Liu, you’re here for the bid as well," a pleased laugh reached his ears just as Xia Liu was finding a place to sit.

He turned and saw Mo Wanqing.

"Aunt Qing, what a coincidence to see you here," Xia Liu greeted her with feigned surprise.

"Heh heh, you probably knew already that I’d be here, huh? But tell me, are you qualified to bid?"

Mo Wanqing asked doubtfully. Xia Liu was a local from Hejing; if he was indeed qualified, then with her help, the project could probably be his.

Mo Wanqing’s reason for taking part in this engineering bid was precisely for Xia Liu.

That way, she had many excuses to stay around and watch how Huang Xue and Xia Liu were getting along.

"Of course, I’m qualified. We are competitors, after all."

"Competitors my foot, just sit tight and wait, I will help you win the bid."

"Haha, thank you so much, Aunt Qing," Xia Liu didn’t refuse Mo Wanqing’s assistance. He had harbored this intention anyway, so there was no point in hypocritically declining.

"I know all about your group, Osmanthus Group. There might be some surprises later, so stay calm."

"No worries, I also heard that Aunt Qing’s archrival, Ye Group, is here too."

"Ye Group, eh? Tough but beatable," Mo Wanqing said with a hesitant smile, following up with confidence.

"The representative from Ye Group has arrived," Mo Wanqing warned while scanning the room.

Xia Liu looked up and saw a young man, his steps steady, chest out, head held high... Wait – his energy was restrained!
