Under the light of the moon and the stars, Tang Xiu personally drove all the way through the high-speed road and arrived in Shanghai at two in the early morning. After he arrived at his villa in Bluestar Villa Complex, Tang Xiu did a simple packing and then went to the study room to release the fierce beast from the array.

“Do you want to go out to play with me?”

Tang Xiu only asked once, but he saw the fierce beast repeatedly nod and look eager. He then smilingly said, “Since you want to go out to play with me, then obediently stay in the villa tonight. I’ll take you to somewhere outside and you won’t have to stay inside the array again in the near future.”

Following that, he took a bath and changed his underwear, and then dialed Long Zhengyu’s number. As he guessed, Long Zhengyu hadn’t yet gone to sleep, as his weary voice came out of the phone, “You aren’t asleep yet, Tang Xiu?”

“There’s an urgent matter, so I returned to Shanghai,” said Tang Xiu. “I will have to hand over the matter in Star City to you. But don’t work too hard, though. Delegate the work if you’re too tired.”

“Don’t worry! I can still hold on. Anyways, is the problem troublesome? Do you want me to lend you a hand?” Asked Long Zhengyu.

“No, I can handle it myself,” said Tang Xiu.

Afterward, the two exchanged some pleasantries before ending the call.

As morning came, Tang Xiu and Yang Le went to Jin Xingkui’s residence. After handing over the architectural design he personally drew to Jin Xingkui, Tang Xiu hurriedly left and drove to Han Qingwu’s residence.

At the entrance, Han Qingwu was wearing a windproof coat and was currently fiddling with her mobile phone. When a car stopped in front of her, she put her mobile phone away, looked at Tang Xiu and complained, “It’s only half past six, Tang Xiu. It’s been half an hour since you called me. I don’t think you need to be in such a hurry, since we are just going to vacation, no?”

With a serious expression, Tang Xiu said, “I gotta correct you about that. I’m not going Jingmen Island to sightsee this time. I have important things to deal with. Also, you can opt to not go.”

Han Qingwu charmingly rolled eyes. She took her suitcase to the car’s rear, opened the trunk and stuffed it inside, and then opened the door and straightly sat on the back seat.

_Bam…_

After the car’s door was closed, Han Qingwu glanced at Yang Le, who was sitting on the front seat, and said, “Let’s go, then! Don’t tell me you’re going to drive all the way to Jingmen Island?”

Tang Xiu started the car as he slightly smiled and said, “You’re right. We’re indeed going to Jingmen Island by car, since it will really waste more time if we rush to the airport and wait for the flight to take off. My business will also be delayed. Anyways, let me introduce you. His name is Yang Le.”

Han Qingwu looked at Yang Le. She gently nodded and said, “What are you gonna do in Jingmen Island, Tang Xiu?”

“I’m afraid you won’t understand even if I tell you,” said Tang Xiu. “This time, your only duty is to have fun. Consider it as a vacation. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Han Qingwu pursed her lips and turned her face to look out of the window. Though she really admired Tang Xiu for his achievement to build such a big business at such a young age, an achievement countless people are unable to achieve in their lifetime, yet she felt quite vexed and irritated inside. It was because she thought that she was his teacher, and Tang Xiu was her student. But Tang Xiu had unexpectedly surpassed her, and the gap was very big.

Going to Jingmen Island from Shanghai was a distance of thousands of kilometers. Although Tang Xiu could manage to drive there by himself, Han Qingwu and Yang Le helped sharing the work halfway. The trio took turns to drive and arrived in Jingmen Island at four in the afternoon. After entering the urban area, Tang Xiu followed the GPS and headed directly to the HQ of the Everlasting Feast Hall.

“The scenery here is great!”

Sitting on the front seat, Han Qingwu couldn’t bear but sigh in praise after seeing the landscape, scenery, and manor on both sides of the highway.

Tang Xiu glanced at her and drove straight inside. At the main gate, four experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall straightly opened the gate after seeing Tang Xiu.

“Grand Master!”

Gu Xiaoxue, who was waiting in the parking lot, hurriedly came to greet him after he got off from the car. A group of Everlasting Feast Hall’s experts who saw Tang Xiu’s arrival came rushing to the front and cupped their fists, “Boss!”

Tang Xiu slightly nodded, “Attend to your duties!”

“Understood!” That group of Everlasting Feast Hall’s experts respectfully replied and left.

While looking at Gu Xiaoxue, Tang Xiu said, “What’s the current situation?”

“I’ve sent people to create obstructions, and the news relayed to us at noon said that the other party just came back from Clam Island and is now settling at Jingmen Island’s Shengdi Luo Hotel. Also, Yao Xinhua is currently negotiating with senior officials of Jingmen Island; he should be waiting for the documents to be approved by the abovegovernment officials,” said Gu Xiaoxue.

Tang Xiu nodded slightly and then pointed to Han Qingwu, saying, “She’s Han Qingwu, a teacher in my campus. She’s on vacation, so she came along with us while convenient. Assign some people to settle her here and provide everything she needs as far as possible no matter what her request is.”
