Chapter 1023: Overdosed

When Tang Xiu hurriedly arrived at South Gate Town, he saw a worried-looking Kang Xia. He couldn’t spare time to comfort her and just strode past her to see the unconscious Andy in the guest room.

“Don’t let anyone disturb me.”

After issuing this order, he grabbed Andy’s wrist and checked her pulse, only to find out that she had overdosed on medicinal pills. Her body that was unable to withstand the potent energy from the pills was eventually out of control. Her pulse now was very chaotic, while her True Essence was in utter disorder. If she didn’t get timely treatment to unclog the energy flow, even if the predicament wouldn’t kill her, the only choice was to scatter her cultivation for her to fully recover.

.She’s so foolish and just messing around, isn’t she?.

Tang Xiu smiled wryly and loosened Andy’s pulse and wrist. He shook his head, sighed inwardly and then lifted her from the bed. After making her sit cross-legged, he began to manipulate and adjust the chaotic True Essence in her meridians. Luckily, her cultivation was still weak at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment—otherwise, Tang Xiu would’ve been really at a loss as to how to help her recuperate and adjust her physical condition.

Time fleeted by. In the last six hours, Tang Xiu spent a lot of energy to help Andy adjust her condition. After helping her lie down, he then left the room.

“How is she?” Kang Xia, who kept waiting outside the room, hurriedly asked.

“Her condition has stabilized.” Tang Xiu nodded. “She’ll be fine. And it won’t be a problem after she wakes up and recuperates. It wasn’t because of qi deviation, though. She took pills that are way too potent for her and got overdosed. Such pills are not something she can bear with her current cultivation level, thus causing this problem.”

“Ehh? She got overdosed?”

Kang Xia’s restlessness finally dissipated, yet she looked speechless and wore a strange expression after hearing Tang Xiu’s explanation.

Tang Xiu let out a smile and reached over her shoulder. “You got so rich recently, didn’t you? Well, don’t burn your money on pills even if you got more money. She’s quite lucky this time and no danger to her life, but if she takes another high-grade pill, her body could explode from the potent energy.”

Kang Xia smilingly said, “We got quite a fortune recently, indeed. Haven’t you checked your account balance?”

“Got too many things to tackle abroad recently, so I really haven’t checked my account.” Tang Xiu looked dull, before shaking his head and saying, “Anyways, what exactly happened? Where did we get so much money from?”

With an expression of being at a loss whether she had to cry or laugh, Kang Xia said, “I know money is nothing but a number to you. If anything, the products of our Magnificent Tang Corporation are booming and the supply never meets the demand. But I allocated all the income from the products into the company headquarter project in Shanghai. But don’t forget about the insider purchase of the New City. The real estate’s price of the New Metro is about there-odd times higher than its previous opening price, and half of them have been sold already as of now.”

“I’ve asked about the New Metro’s real estate issue back when it was at the early stage, though I no longer follow its later-stage development. How much was the capital invested by our company in the early stage?” asked Tang Xiu curiously.

Kang Xia stretched out a finger and then extended two more. After laughing, she asked, “Guess how many?”

“12 billion yuan?” Tang Xiu confirmed in amazement.

“Smart. No wonder you’re really the man I chose, huh!” Kang Xia praised while giving him a thumbs up. “That’s right. The total capital we invested to purchase the real estate in the previous phase was 12 billion yuan. Be it the residential or commercial establishments, the total market value has reached about 40 billion yuan. Most of the residential estates have been sold out for a total of 18.5 billion yuan, and I’ve transferred 15 billion into your private account. 3 billion went into the Magnificent Tang Corporation’s public account, and the remaining 500 million yuan are dividends.”

“It seems that the real estate business is indeed very lucrative.” Tang Xiu sighed. “It’s no surprise that most of the richest people in the country consisted mostly of real estate developers in the past. Anyways, what about the current progress of the new metro?”

“The first phase of the development project has been finalized and we’re currently finishing some miscellaneous works,” answered Kang Xia. “Most of the works for the second phase have been done and it’s expected to be fully finished by early next year. The third and fourth phases of the project have already started and, once the second phase has been fully finalized, it’s possible to carry out the third and fourth phases at the same time. The documents issued by the government also pointed out that we’re fully authorized to develop the New Metro while the government will provide assistance. Long Hanwen has been wanting to meet you recently, but he couldn’t contact you, unfortunately. Hence, he could only give up for the time being.”

“What did he want?” asked Tang Xiu.

“It’s about architectural complex design. Did you forget you were the one who designed it?” Kang Xia forced a smile and said, “That’s the main reason why the sales are so good and the very cause why rich celebrities all over the country ran over to buy these real estates. The architectural design and the buildings in the new city are highly acclaimed and the metro is said to be a dream city. But you’re always the so-busy-man and only designed the first and second phase of the project. You haven’t even mentioned the third and fourth phases until now. Long Hanwen is not the only one worrying about it, even I’m a bit restless here.”

“Did the government really give the full authority to us?” Tang Xiu frowned and asked, “Are they really unwilling to be involved, like, at all?”

“They must be involved, of course, but things like this are always very complicated. But Long Hanwen and the various parties are dealing with the government, so our company is much more relaxed,” said Kang Xia.

“I see.” Tang Xiu nodded and asked again, “How large is the area of the new city occupied by the first four phases of the construction project?”
