Chapter 183 (2/2)

Tang Xiu recalled the beautiful angelic-looking girl as he slowly nodded and said, “Call her then!”

He didn’t ask more details about her case. Even though he had heard from Andy that she and her parents had once lived in China for a few years, but just like the changes in fate and time, people had their own fortunes and misfortunes. Since Kang Xia said that Andy was also an orphan, perhaps, her parents also encountered unexpected misfortunes.

Chen Zhizhong was sitting quietly on the side with a smile on his face. Tang Xiu was pulling Kang Xia to be his direct subordinate. This made him quite happy as Kang Xia, after all, had quite formidable capabilities. She was definitely one of the proud women that could lift her head up high in the business world. If she could be made dead set on following Tang Xiu and worked for him to the best of her abilities, Chen Zhizhong believed that Tang Xiu could make a lot of money. Which, in the end, will become the tool for an endless stream of access for cultivation resources. [1]

Suddenly, his expression moved as he glanced at his mobile screen and asked, “Master, since you want to build a winery, could you let me invest in it also?”

“You have your own medicinal herbs business, what do you want to invest in the winery for?” Tang Xiu said.

Chen Zhizhong let out a forced smile and said, “Actually, I think my Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical has already expanded to the limit. I have long planned to expand to other fields, but I haven’t found any suitable targets for investment. This is why I have quite a lot of spare liquid funds. If I don’t invest in your winery, perhaps, I’ll invest in other projects.”

Tang Xiu thought for a moment before he slowly nodded and replied, “Take out 500 million, I’ll give you 10% of the shares. You don’t need to worry about the management since I’ve found the manager for the winery. So you’ll have the dividends every year. If you still have some spare cash and you’re interested, you can contact Long Zhengyu. He and I have a cooperation in a little real estate business. I believe the prospect is good and can make quite a fortune.”

Originally, Tang Xiu didn’t have the intention to let other people be involved in his winery business. After all, he was very optimistic about its prospect. However, he was short of money right now. If even Chen Zhizhong was going to invest, giving him the shares was truly not a problem also since he was, after all, his own in-name disciple. So to say, it could be said that the water and the fertilizer wouldn’t flow to the outsiders’ fields.

Chen Zhizhong was overjoyed. He realized that acknowledging Tang Xiu as a Master was truly worth it. Not only would he be able to tread on the path to Immortality, but he was also able to gain harvest in business. Without a minute’s hesitation, he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll contact Long Zhengyu then.”

Tang Xiu said, “About the matters related to business, you can directly contact Kang Xia. I have too many things at hands- I have no time to manage the businesses.”

At this moment, Ouyang Lulu came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. When she saw Chen Zhizhong, her eyes brightened up slightly. After all, she had seen him quite a lot from his interview in Financial Magazines. However, when she saw Kang Xia, her brows slightly pricked.

It was because she was beautiful, to the point of extreme.

She had no choice but to admit that whether it was the bodily figure, looks, or even bearing, Kang Xia was not bellow her. A few days ago she also had heard that Kang Xia was working for Tang Xiu- he even handed over his newly set up company to be managed by her. But this was her first time meeting Kang Xia here.

“Boss, this one is?”

Looking at Ouyang Lulu, particularly seeing her in an apron, Kang Xia couldn’t help but have an inconceivable irritated feeling without her realizing.

“Oh, she’s Ouyang Lulu, the gal who, well, ignores the proper occupation in Jingmen Island. But anyhow, she’s my friend. Lulu, she’s Kang Xia. My right-hand woman.” Tang Xiu introduced each other.

Ouyang Lulu rolled her eyes at him. If it wasn’t for Tang Xiu’s remark of “my friend” as well as “Lulu”, she would have snapped already. However, she was also quite happy inside even though she still pretended to look dissatisfied and resentful. She snorted and replied, “Hmph, what’s not a proper business here? My Paradise Club is a decent and honest business, okay?”

“Opening a casino is a decent business?” Tang Xiu said with a bit of surprise.

Ouyang Lulu replied, “Of course it is. Every time they gamble, we’re in international waters. So we don’t violate any country’s laws, no? Also, you know that gambling is legal in Taiwan too, don’t you?”

Tang Xiu secretly shook his head. He was too lazy to refute Ouyang Lulu’s glib rationale. But for Kang Xia herself, she was quite curious toward her upon hearing Tang Xiu’s explanation.

“How do you do, Miss Ouyang.”

“How do you do, Chief Kang.”

The two women shook hands for the first time. With a trace of peculiar thoughts in their minds.

On the dining table.

Gu Yin had just finished her tutoring course. Tang Xiu also invited the tutor to have dinner together, while also asking the progress of Gu Yin’s learning once in awhile.

“Mr. Tang, Gu Yin is truly very smart. She has an eidetic memory and good comprehension. This is the first time I’ve met such a student like her. About the Second Grade Curriculum, we’ll have it finished in the next two days, and we also have started preparing the Third Grade one. However, the teachers for the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grade Curriculum won’t be handled by the three of us anymore.” The middle-aged female teacher showed a bit of a forced smile. Then, she continued, “It’s not because we can’t teach the curriculum for the Fourth Grade and above, but it’s because we have come to our limit and are too tired after preparing the first two Grade Curriculums.”

Tang Xiu said with a light laugh, “Hahaha. It’s alright, as long as the next teachers are also as excellent as you, I’m content.”

Ouyang Lulu looked at the both of them and asked with astonishment, “The speed of the lesson prepared by the teachers cannot follow the student’s learning speed? What’s this fallacy?”

The teacher smiled wryly and said, “It’s because her learning speed is really too fast. Judging from her current learning speed, if we keep going like this, perhaps she really can complete all the courses from the Second to Sixth Grade before September 1st.”

Ouyang Lulu looked at Gu Yin with disbelief, and asked with astonishment, “She has yet to finish the Second Grade Curriculum now, no? How come she could finish all the contents for next four grades within two or three months? Even the other child prodigies wouldn’t be able to do it, right?”

Note:

I don’t like the literal phrase of heaven’s proud daughter in this paragraph since it’s not suitable for the line. So I changed the line a bit as one of the proud women who can lift her head up high. It’s because everything she has gotten was not taken for granted because of her origin and such, but because of her efforts. Thus, it’s fit better with her background and abilities also.
