Chapter 67 (2/2)

Whilst looking at the beautiful scenery in front, Tang Xiu then spoke, “I am Tang Xiu. You haven’t heard about me, but I’ll be straightforward with you. My purpose to call you is very simple, I’m giving you a chance to struggle for the future. Are you interested?”

Kang Xia was silent for a few seconds and slowly replied, “To be frank, your straightforward and simple words sparked my curiosity. Tell me, what kind of path will you offer me?”

Tang Xiu said, “Before I tell you, you need to answer my questions. Say that there are two cosmetics products, one of which has strong whitening and moisturizing effect, and can improve a woman’s skin condition, as well as is 10 times more efficient than those high-end whitening products. Once this cosmetic product has been tested and thrown to the market, what chance do you think it will have?”

“The second product is a scar rejuvenating cosmetic which is able to eliminate acne and freckles. Please listen clearly. This product’s effect is real and also has a healing curative effect. Once this product has been tested and sold to the market, what chance do you think it will have?”

At a high-class resort in Beijing…

A devilish curvaceous figure with an angelic face, Kang Xia, was wearing a sexy bikini as she sat on a poolside couch. Her hand was wiping her wet long hair whilst the other hand holding her cell phone, as a slightly stifled expression was cast on her face.

The cold and detached expression she usually had when she wanted to hang up the phone was now entirely different.

The two questions might be simple, but it was nevertheless problematic.

If such products were to have such effects as the caller had told her, once those products had passed the test, being advertised and accepted by the market, it would create a great sensation in today’s society, more so that the business would also certainly explode.

However, could there be such cosmetic products on Earth?

Kang Xia might not have realized herself that she was a woman with a keen sense of opportunity. She was silent for 2 minutes before she slowly replied, “Seeing from your number ID, it seems that you’re from Star City. Fine, I’ll give you 2 days to send the product sample to me, since you have already gotten my number and my address. Wait for me to experiment and test the sample first, and then we’ll talk again.”

Tang Xiu replied with an indifferent tone, “I don’t’ like people who tell me what to do. The people I will hire, even though I give them the rights and privileges, must not be arrogant and bossy. Do listen that I want to set up the business, but I don’t have much time to run it myself. What I mean is, I want to know about your capabilities as well as your intelligence. Well, I’ll be waiting for you in Star City. If you’ve arrived, contact me.”

After having said that, Tang Xiu directly hung up the phone.

At the resort’s swimming pool in Beijing, Kang Xia was listening to the dull busy tones from her cell phone as a blank and disbelieving expression covered her face after the caller blatantly hung up the phone.

Who was she? She WAS Kang Xia!

She was the one who countless people have always been treating highly with flattery, with wishes that they could recruit her. She was an elite person who was the most sought after to be recruited in the business world. Previously, she was the one who had always been hanging up the phone first when anyone else called her. But the karma had turned against her this time, and this person hung up the phone first instead of her! Was that man insane? Or had her charms and values vanished?

And why would it seem and feel like… that… she was the one who begged him?

Kang Xia was somewhat angry as she threw the phone to the recliner next to the coffee table. She couldn’t help recall that man’s words in her mind.

Very arrogant! Extremely arrogant!

Kang Xia was pondering and analyzing the 2 questions the man had given her. She wasn’t sure whether this was an opportunity or not. If it was true and she took it, her decision definitely would make everyone shocked. But if it was not, then it meant that she had been played.

“Tang Xiu? From Star City??”

Kang Xia took back her cell phone and dialed a number. She then spoke in a deep tone, “Andy, help me investigate someone. I only have 5 clues — his name, living in Star City, a male, arrogant, and his cell number. How long will it take for you to find him?”

“1 day.”

A charming voice answered the phone.

Kang Xia replied, “Half a day.”

“…”

At South Gate Town.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiu then called Han Qingwu as well as Yuan Chuling. Since Yuan Chuling’s mother had fortunately been rescued, he asked him whether the one who saved his mother was Tang Xiu. Tang Xiu avoided answering him. As for Qingwu, it was somewhat quite troublesome.

A complicated, as well as helpless feeling, filled his heart. Han Qingwu’s appearance was alike with his wife in the Immortal World, and he couldn’t tell her what he felt about her. He apologized to her on the phone, and promised to go school and attend classes tomorrow. After having gotten served a meal full of severe reprimand and critics, he temporarily got his forgiveness.

Having dealt with everything, Tang Xiu then thought about what Chen Zhizhong had run into.

“He found precious medicinal herbs in Star City’s Medicinal Herbs Market. It would be too early for me to take the advantage of this favor this time. Should I go to the Medicinal Herbs Market?”

Tang Xiu had a decisive and resolute personality. Once ideas emerged in his mind, he would immediately execute them. He got tens of thousands yuan from the criminals that were intended to be given to one-eyed’s grandmother, and he intended to borrow the cash first since he was short on money.

“Grrrr …” Tang Xiu’s stomach suddenly rumbled as though reminding him that he had yet to have breakfast and lunch.
