Bluestar Villa Complex.

Kang Xia had been there more than twice, so the security guards did not stop her. The two housekeepers in the villa also treated and served her as the mistress of the house, and served her a hot meal. But Kang Xia did not even touch the chopsticks. After Tang Xiu returned home and saw Kang Xia, who was lost in thought in the dining room, he smiled and took a seat on the opposite side.

“What are you thinking about?”

Kang Xia snapped back to her senses, a beautiful smile then appearing on her beautiful face as she said, “It’s nothing. It’s just… I’m feeling very tired recently. I want to go abroad for a vacation after handling the issues with the project tender.”

“You can arrange the time yourself.” Tang Xiu nodded and smilingly said, “But call me in advance before you go. I will send some people to protect you.”

“No. My bodyguards are enough.” Kang Xia shook her head.

“You feel they are enough, but I don’t think so.” Tang Xiu sighed. “It’s relatively safe in China, and those bodyguards of yours can fully protect you, be it in secret or in public. But it will be different when you’re abroad. There are many forces eyeing the several products of Magnificent Tang Corporation with greedy eyes, so I’m sure that many forces will stare at you once you step out of the country. They will do everything they can to ambush and kidnap you.”

Kang Xia’s brows slightly knitted. She gave it a thought and said, “Then forget it. I had better not take a holiday.”

“If it’s okay with you, I can recommend you a good place, though,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“Where?” Asked Kang Xia

“Our future base and HQ, Nine Dragons Island. Yinyin is there now,” answered Tang Xiu.

Kang Xia’s eyes shone and said with a looking forward expression, “I know that you bought Nine Dragons Island and that it’s still undergoing reconstruction, but I haven’t once visited the place until now! Alright then, I’ll take a trip there to play.”

Tang Xiu smiled and nodded. After telling Kang Xia to eat, they then continued chatting while eating and finished it after a while. As they headed to the living room, he then learned from her that all the senior executives of the Magnificent Tang Corporation who came with her to Shanghai were all arranged to stay in the Paradise Manor. What surprised him was that Kang Xia also set up the venue as the place for the tender meeting.

“Why did you set up the meeting there?” Asked Tang Xiu, baffled.

“We are now short on money, so we should use every penny very carefully,” replied Kang Xia softly. “If anything, the Paradise Manor is not a business belonging to the outside, to begin with. We can be said to not use our resources on some other establishments. The last time Ouyang Lulu called asking more wine she was not courteous at all, but then again, it was still great that we can reduce some costs.”

Cough! Cough…

Tang Xiu felt a bit awkward after hearing that. He could detect a trace of resentment from the Kang Xia’s tone. He instantly recalled another matter, however. She just said that she was tired and wanted to go overseas for a vacation. Was it because of the matter between him and Ouyang Lulu?

As he thought up to there, a headache struck him. The relationship between man and woman was too complex. He had released the arrows from its bow, and there was no turning back for him anymore. He too felt inside that it was rather unfair to her.

Kang Xia’s expression turned dark. She could tell that what Ouyang Lulu said to her was true judging from Tang Xiu’s expression. She had prepared for it a long time ago, and yet, intense sorrow and depression still filled her heart.

Inwardly, Tang Xiu could only sigh. He realized that it was not the moment for him to keep silent. Hence, he stood up and pulled her hand.

“Where are you taking me?”

As Tang Xiu took out the car key and drove the car to the gate, finally, Kang Xia asked.

“You have always been busy managing the company. I’m sure you rarely go out shopping. Just put aside everything about work for this whole afternoon. I’ll accompany you strolling around and shopping.”

Kang Xia knew Tang Xiu’s intention. It was his way of apologizing to her. Speaking about it, she and Tang Xiu indeed had been together for quite a long time, but the number of times he could accompany her strolling around and shopping was very few.

Strolling around, shopping, having a meal, and watching movies.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, Tang Xiu and Kang Xia were inseparable, leaving behind their footprints in many bustling areas of Shanghai. Only in the early hours of the morning did they return to Bluestar Villa Complex and then carried out the “activity” between man and woman, letting their blazing flames burn out until they finally left exhausted and satisfied.

The both of them were unaware that, just when they were perfectly satisfied, a white-haired young man could not even sleep inside a luxurious business room of a hotel on Wenge Avenue in Shanghai, puffing smoke with a bitter expression.

His name was Chen Zixue, the General Manager of Senyuan Group from Zhejiang Province, a wealthy man with tens of billions in assets, the idol of many young men, and a perfect bachelor in women’s eyes.

“Can semi-finished products make do?”

With one hand clamping his cigarette and the other boiling the water, he frowned and looked distressed.

For the Senyuan Group to enter in the top ten construction companies in China, it was inseparable with his Midas Hand. But he looked helpless and out of his wits at this moment.

He was still young and only 29 years old at present. 8 years ago, he was just a young and frivolous youth, who was regarded as the absolute leader of all the scions of the rich and middle-class in Zhejiang Province; a complete mess of a reputation people might say. He previously thought that he could have a free, leisure and unfettered life, squandering money in his youth and enjoying his happy life. But then, the sky above his head… collapsed.

The former CEO of Senyuan Group, his father, died of a brain hemorrhage, and the huge pressure and burden suddenly fell on him all of a sudden. Though it didn’t make him collapse, his hair turned white overnight due to the worries. Holding 75% of shareholding succession right made him the new CEO, and numerous people were waiting for him to become a laughingstock.

In these eight years, however, he changed his previous silk pants lifestyle, frantically learned various kinds of knowledge and constantly filled his shortcomings. It was like he was under a spell and bewitched. The first year he took over the Senyuan Group as its CEO, the price of his company’s stock index plummeted sharply by nearly 20% at once, severely shrinking its assets. In the second year after he took over, the expenditure and income of the company hit a balance, achieving a breakeven point. In his third year, he carried an extremely risky merger, developed and sold a new real estate, and earned back the losses of his first year with still some surplus left.

Fourth-year!
