At this time, Hu Qingsong and the others saw four bodyguards in black suits standing guard in the courtyard. They gave Tang Xiu odd looks before following him inside the villa.

Previously, Hu Qingsong, Zhao Liang, and Mu Wangyin had visited Tang Xiu’s villa, but the other three in Zhao Liang’s dorm had never come here. Though they heard that Tang Xiu lived in the Bluestar Villa Complex on the way here, the luxurious and extravagant villa was beyond what they imagined. They were just like Granny Liu visiting Grand View Garden — shocked and being overwhelmed by the experience and luxurious surroundings.

“Brother Tang, who are they?” Just as Li Laoshan walked out of the dining room and saw a group of people coming in, a surprised look immediately covered his face.

“They are my fellow students, Li Old Bro,” Tang Xiu laughed. “Guys, this is Old Brother Li Laoshan, a friend of mine.”

“How do you do, Old Brother Li?”

Though it was their first time meeting Li Laoshan, they could tell from his aura that he was not an ordinary person. Not to mention there were also the four bodyguards, who were ready for his orders at the courtyard outside.

“Hi to all of you! Anyhow, do you all want to drink together with us?” Li Laoshan smilingly replied.

Hu Qingsong, Yue Kai, and the others exchanged glances before shaking their heads. Yue Kai then said, “It’s kinda late, we’ll have a drink another day, Old Brother Li.”

“Anyhow, you guys can chat here. I just came from another city, and was so starving that my belly was almost flat, hence the reason I didn’t greet you before,” said Li Laoshan smilingly.

“….”

Everyone’s eyes were fixated on Li Laoshan’s wide waist and plump face. They were secretly speechless. The man was all made of fat, yet he still said he was so starving that his belly turned flat? Then, what about the small physiques?

“Anyways, guys. Seat where you will!” Tang Xiu waved his hand and smilingly said.

After everyone took their seats in the living room, Yue Kai said with a curious look, “Tang Eldest Bro, who exactly is this Old Brother Li? Those four men in the courtyard… They should be his bodyguards, right? And the beauty who just came out with him, is likely his secretary or adjutant…”

“You got good eyes, buddy!” Tang Xiu gave him a thumbs-up and smilingly said, “Old Brother Li is a northerner, and is also a Big Boss in the steel business.”

Hu Qingsong’s expression suddenly changed, as he exclaimed, “I remember him! No wonder I thought he looked familiar. Li Laoshan is a tycoon in steel business in the Northeast with billions of assets. He’s definitely a big shot. I had once seen him in an interview in an economic magazine. Holy cow, Big Bro Tang! You’re really amazing! You’re even acquainted with such a powerful figure?”

“Well, I didn’t really know who he was when I first met Old Brother Li. Besides, when someone meets the other person and is fated to become friends, he never cares about what and who the other person is. As long as they share something in common, and the other person has a disposition to his liking, he can become friends with him,” explained Tang Xiu as he couldn’t help laughing.

“That’s great, Big Bro Tang!” Hu Qingsong gave a thumb up. “Your words seem to be very light, like a breeze and thin clouds, yet they are quite deep and full of truth. I get it, I’m convinced!”

“Tang Eldest Bro, I thought I was already pretty good and flamboyant enough, because of my family, and due to my father, who has a lot of acquaintances in the business circle. But comparing with you now, it’s almost negligent. You’re now henceforth my idol, buddy. Please come here and let me kowtow to you.”

“Shuddup and cut the crap!” Tang Xiu cussed.

_Ding dong…_

The bell from the courtyard’s gate sounded again.

There was a vacant look on Tang Xiu’s face, as it was then replaced with a strange expression shortly after. He muttered to himself, “Who could it be now? This place is always deserted, why is it so lively tonight?”

Having finished with his muttering, he pressed the unlock button on the remote control and went to see who it was. He then saw Liu Changxi along with several members of the Ministry of State Security, as well as Zhang Xinya and her manager.

“Secretary Liu, Xinya!” Tang Xiu let out a smile and greeted them.

Upon seeing Tang Xiu, there was an excited look on Zhang Xinya’s face. She wanted to speak, yet Liu Changxi gave her a glance that made her hold her tongue and swallow her words back.

A serious look was on Liu Changxi’s face as he spoke, “Tang Xiu, it’s quite embarrassing that I have to come and disturb you so late, but I have something important I need to talk to you about.”

“All right. But there are a lot of guests here now. Let me talk with them first, and then we’ll have a chat in my study room,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“Guests?”

Liu Changxi fell into a daze. His mind immediately thought about those mysterious people that appeared at the New World Center, so he nodded without hesitation and followed Tang Xiu inside.

“Heavens! Am I dreaming or something? The lady… is my Goddess, Zhang Xinya? Qingsong, pinch me quickly! I gotta know if I’m dreaming or not!” When Zhao Liang had his eyes at the door, his eyes shifted from Liu Changxi and his men, and then moved to Zhang Xinya, as he suddenly jumped up and exclaimed in disbelief.
