Daytime of the next day.

Tang Xiu accompanied Ouyang Lulu to wander around, tasting delicacies, shopping, and watching movies. There was nothing that made him out of sort whatsoever, yet he was now a celebrity-like figure and many people remembered him. Hence, he spared some time to use special means to change his appearance.

For the entire day, Ouyang Lulu, who was like a female devil in many people’s eyes, turned into a happy little lass next to Tang Xiu, enjoying herself to her heart’s content merrily.

As dusk came, Tang Xiu took her back to the Blue Starfish Mansion which was already decorated with lanterns to greet the coming night. The resort that used to have a few guests now had a constant stream of visitors coming at this time.

“They are all successful people given their looks.” Tang Xiu’s gaze swept over the guests around him and murmured with a smile.

“Heh, what successful figures? They are just pretending and showing off.” Ouyang Lulu rebuked with curled lips. “It’s you who’s the real successful person here since you won’t show off that easily even though you got billions in wealth. You don’t even show off even though you got amazing abilities. It’s not like they don’t know anything about their surname with their little money, either.”

“That’s too far-fetched comment and quite extreme, Lulu.” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “I know you want to praise me, but you don’t have to attack others like that either, no? Besides, to ordinary people, the parameter of success is having money and status. It’s the rule. Let’s not say the whole world, there are more than a billion people in China alone, but how many of them are truly rich and powerful? They can become some bigwigs, which in itself shows their capabilities. As for shortcomings… everyone has them, no? We’re not sages nor saints, so there’s no need to look at people so narrowly.”

Ouyang Lulu raised her chin and hummed. “Hmph, none of them are better than you in my eyes. And those who are will receive my due acknowledgment.”

Tang Xiu shook his head with a wry smile. He had 10,000 years of experience and life story, it was not an egg to egg comparison, like literally. Still, such devotion and love made him warm inside. He grabbed her fragrant shoulder and smilingly walked side by side to the interior.

Auctions. Various society circles had various types of these auctions. For instance, this one. It auctioned some strange stuff. Although some objects were very valuable, most of the guests were Shanghai’s locals and a few came from the neighboring cities.

“Tang Xiu!”

With the lead from the attendant, Tang Xiu and Ouyang Lulu had just entered the auction venue when he heard someone call his name. He was slightly stunned and a bit surprised. It must be noted that he had changed his appearance. Unless it was someone very close to him, others would find it difficult to recognize him.

“Gu Changmin?”

Tang Xiu shifted to the direction of the voice and suddenly saw Gu Changmin and Jin Xingkui coming towards him. However, he was keenly aware that they looked a bit stunned upon seeing his current appearance.

Tang Xiu released Ouyang Lulu’s shoulder and smilingly walked over. “Hey, Old Brother Gu and Jin! I never thought I’d run into both of you here today! What are you doing here, planning to grab some treasures?”

Gu Changmin and Jin Xingkui exchanged glances and wore strange expressions. The former then inquired. “Well, we thought we saw someone with your resemblance, so we called out. But then when we saw your face, I thought I called the wrong person, you know! What’s up with this appearance…”

“Blame that celebrity effect. I had to change my looks a bit so as to avoid being recognized by others.” Tang Xiu smilingly replied, “You both know I never liked attention, no?”

Gu Changmin and Jin Xingkui quickly understood, and the former chuckled. “That’s so very you, Brother Tang. You’re always low key. But that’s why this old brother of yours admires you. Which young man hates showing off and bragging about his achievement nowadays? You’re of the extreme opposite, but your low-key efforts kind of rises people’s hackles, you know.”

Jin Xingkui, on the other hand, smilingly said, “Well, you’re always making a fortune and amassing wealth while keeping a low profile, Brother Tang. Anyways, you really made me annoyed, you know. We’ve been cooperating for the project and half of it has been done, yet you’ve never been to the construction site at all. You never even spared time to visit my company, either. The way you act like a shopkeeper who only asks others to do his bidding is too excessive, no?”

“Hehe, then why should I have you, Brother Jin?” retorted Tang Xiu smilingly. “Besides, if you were someone I don’t trust, I’d have inspected the worksite thrice a day.”

Tang Xiu’s reply made Jin Xingkui happy and burst into laughter. Afterward, he grinningly said, “That makes my painstaking efforts and hard work worth it, Brother Tang. But rest assured, though. Our project is progressing smoothly and we can start to earn some revenue in at most half a year. You can wait for the money to roll in then!”

Tang Xiu gave him a thumbs up and praised. “It’s truly great and joyful to cooperate with you, Brother Jin. Anyhow, how about we grab some drinks after the auction?”

“Fine with me!”
