Chapter 316 (2/2)

“Will do, absolutely! Even if what I earn might be less than you, but I must surpass the others,” said Yi Lianyan resolutely.

Tang Xiu couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

He then commanded a maid and ordered them to take Yi Lianyan to rest. Tang Xiu then went to the room on the second floor. He wanted to call his mother back in the car but recalled that he was going back tomorrow, so he was prepared to give her a pleasant surprise.

_‘I have to visit Li Juren!’_

In actuality, Tang Xiu himself didn’t feel tired. Given his physical condition, he wouldn’t feel tired even if he had to travel for a year or so. The reason why he wanted to stop over in Hong Kong for a night was that there were some things he needed to discuss with Li Juren.

“Hello, may I ask who I am speaking with?”

After calling Li Juren’s private number, the one who answered his call was a woman.

“I’m looking for Li Juren. May I trouble you to call him over?” asked Tang Xiu.

“May I ask your name, Sir?”

“Tang Xiu!”

“Mr. Tang, I’m really sorry. Our boss is having a midday rest and is temporarily unable to answer. I will inform him after he wakes up.”

“Alright!”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiu saw the time– 2PM. He immediately went downstairs and told the maids to prepare lunch. To his surprise, Yi Lianyan, who was originally yelling that she was tired, was unexpectedly full of spirit as she fiddled with her tablet in the hall.

“Aren’t you tired?” asked Tang Xiu curiously.

“I was. But my tiredness went out when I arrived here. Big Brother Tang, do you have anything to do in the afternoon? If it’s fine with you, how about accompanying me shopping?” said Yi Lianyan with a laugh.

“No,” Tang Xiu shook his head. “I have some matters to take care of.”

“You just came back, and you already have things to do?” asked Yi Lianyan, astonished.

“I need to see someone.”

Yi Lianyan suddenly understood as she nodded and said, “Well, since you don’t have time, then I’ll go shopping myself. I originally intended to fly straight to the mainland from abroad, but I didn’t expect that I would actually run to Hong Kong. I heard the place is a shopping paradise, so I must experience it well.”

“Pay attention to your safety. If you have trouble, call Hao Lei! I’ll give her cell number to you later,” said Tang Xiu with a chuckle.

“OK!” Yi Lianyan replied with a smile.

Deepwater Bay 79th.

Li Juren had just woken up from his sleep. The older he got, the lesser his energy day by day. Although he maintained his condition well, yet he couldn’t resist his old age sapping away his vitality.

A few minutes later, he went out of his bedroom and intended to read a book in his study room. But his coadjutress was sitting on the front seat in the corner of the corridor, reading a document.

“Was there something?”

The coadjutress got up and respectfully replied, “You missed two calls.”

“Who were they?” Li Juren came over and asked.

“One is Boss Ma—Ma Kaiwen from the mainland, and the other one is Tang Xiu,” said the coadjutress.

Tang Xiu?

For a moment, Li Juren was surprised, as his expression then changed. He didn’t care about Ma Kaiwen’s phone call, but Tang Xiu’s call made him concerned. Due to the mysteriousness of the Everlasting Feast Hall, he had no choice but be very prudent and careful in dealing with its Boss—Tang Xiu.

He then looked at the call log and then dialed Tang Xiu’s number.

“Little Brother Tang, were you looking for me?” Li Juren said with a smile.

The coadjutress, who stood at his side, had yet to see Tang Xiu. Seeing that Li Juren didn’t call Boss Ma—Ma Kaiwen first and instead called Tang Xiu, whose voice was very young, made her secretly surprised.

“Yes. I wanna talk to you about some things. Do you have some time for us to meet?” asked Tang Xiu.

Li Juren laughed, “Were you someone else, I may not have the time. But for Little Brother Tang, I have time to spare! Anyways, pick the place, I’ll be there shortly.”

“I’m not familiar with Hong Kong, it’s your call!” said Tang Xiu.

Pondering for a moment, Li Juren then said, “Then let us meet in Purple Bamboo Teagarden! I’ll send you the address later.”

“Alright!”

After hanging up the phone, Li Juren abandoned his intention of reading a book and said, “Tell someone to prepare a car, I’ll be going out.”

“I’ll arrange it now!”

Half an hour later.

Purple Bamboo Teagarden was a rather remote place in Repulse Bay. There were no high-rise buildings in the area, only a lush bamboo forest. After Tang Xiu arrived there, he was stopped by the guards at the sentry post.

“Hello, Sir. Please show your membership card.”

“I don’t have a membership card here,” Tang Xiu shook his head. “But I have an appointment to meet a friend here. He’s Li Juren, you should you know about him, no?”

The security guard was slightly surprised for a moment before he replied with a much more respectful attitude, “Ah, you’re Mr. Tang? Elderly Li has been here for a while. He’s waiting for you inside.”
