Chapter 688 - Investment (2/2)

Ji Siying nodded, still in his hold. “Hmm… She’s recovered. She’s able to use the toxin to treat herself. The more potent the toxin, the more useful they are to her.”

“What a miracle of a constitution!” Xiao Luo remarked in amazement.

Ji Siying was silent for a few beats, and then she praised him, “She’s got a miracle of a constitution, but you, Mr. Xiao Luo, you’re a miracle of a man.”

Xiao Luo could only smile at this, and he said nothing. Only he knew that he owed all of this to the Genius System.

…

…

Half an hour had passed by the time he returned to the room. Su Canye was there, Zhang Dashan was there, so the atmosphere in the room was plenty lively. There would be the occasional raucous laughter that rang out from the room. Zhang Dashan and Su Canye had really contagious laughs, and one could not help but feel joy when they heard it.

Just as the room was at the height of its joy, the door opened.

A young man and a young woman stood at the entrance. They were two tender faces glowing with vigor and energy.

“Who are you?” Zhang Dashan asked.

The young pair looked at the room before their gaze finally landed on Xiao Luo. They entered without asking for permission, then the man bowed to Xiao Luo and said, “Hello, Mr. Xiao. I’m Tan Zisheng, and this is my classmate Bai Xia. Both of us have just graduated from university.”

Xiao Luo was confused. What kind of a situation was this? How did a pair of fresh graduates find him?

He asked indifferently, “Why are you here?”

With both hands, Tan Zisheng hurriedly handed over to Xiao Luo a document he had brought with him. “This is my business report and project plan, and I ask that you review them. If this gets your approval, I hope that you’ll invest in us, Mr. Xiao.”

So they were here to seek out an investor.

How courageous they were!

The people in the room admired the courage and initiative these fresh graduates had.

Xiao Luo skimmed through the business report and project proposal that was handed to him, and then he raised his head to say, “If you’ve come to look for an investment, don’t you think you’ve knocked on the wrong door?”

“No, we haven’t. You own Luo’s Workshop and Jin Yitang, right, Mr. Xiao? You’re the one I’m looking for,” Tan Zisheng rushed to say.

“How did you know that? And how did you know I reserved a room here?” Xiao Luo frowned.

“Zisheng’s dad is the mayor of Xiahai City, Mayor Tan. All he had to do was pull a few strings,” Bai Xia said, a little haughtily.

Tan Zisheng blanched. “Bai Xia!”

He shook his head, signaling for her to not run her mouth. Bai Xia pursed her lips, not taking it to heart.

“So you’re the mayor’s son. Where are my manners?”

Xiao Luo was smiling, but he did not feel all that great about this. He had never really interacted much with the Xiahai City mayor, but the man had taken it upon himself to dig into Xiao Luo, and he had even found out exactly where he would be. It was not a good sign that the man had sent his son to present himself right in front of Xiao Luo.

Zhang Dashan was shocked as well. No wonder they were not surprised upon seeing the nation’s goddess—it turned out that he was an influential and important person.

“No, Mr. Xiao Luo. My father is my father, and I am who I am. In front of you, I am nothing more than a fresh graduate earnestly asking for you to invest in my project,” Tan Zisheng said in a very modest and amiable tone.
