One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

"Old Wang...do you have a grudge against Ma Xianhong?"

Jiang Bailan tilted his head and turned his big, questioning eyes toward the other person. He really hadn't expected that Wang would suddenly offer him 1000 million to beat up Ma Xianhong.

Could it be that he's holding a grudge against Lao Ma for not letting him take his beloved Xiao Qingqing away?

“I have no grudge against him. I’m just worried that what Ma Xianhong did will have an irreversible impact on the world.”

"Alright! It really is you, Great Sage Wang!"

Jiang Bailan shrugged, remarking that this lofty and righteous explanation was very much like Wang Ye's.

However, this has little to do with him.

He's just a lazy bum who gets paid to do the work, and likes to wash feet and give massages when he's not doing anything else.

They don't have Wang Ye's high moral standards. After all, even someone with extremely high moral standards wouldn't frequent bathhouses and stay out all night.

We'll do our job for every penny we're paid!

Jiang Bailan didn't have Wang Ye's high level of ideological awareness; he just wanted to make a little money and then live a decadent, dissolute life.

Compared to Jiang Bailan's attitude towards Wang Ye, Zhao Fangxu's old, cloudy eyes gradually brightened after hearing Wang Ye's realization...

That's light!

What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century?

Talented people~~

"What a promising talent!"

Zhao Fangxu looked at Wang Ye with a burning gaze, as if he were looking at an uncut gem. In this materialistic, morally declining era, where people can abandon themselves for money...

Wang Ye is like a white lotus flower in the mud of the mundane world.

This awareness

This kind of thinking!

This kind of financial power!

What the company lacks is a well-rounded talent like Wang Ye!

Zhao Fangxu never expected that while he was out seeking help from Jiang Bailan, he would actually encounter such a promising talent as Wang Ye...

"Chairman Zhao... what's wrong with you?"

When Wang Ye noticed Zhao Fangxu staring at him with gleaming golden eyes, he subconsciously swallowed and his body involuntarily tensed up; he had a bad feeling.

He had seen that look before. Every spring when everything was reviving, Wangcai, the dog at home, would look at him with that same look, and would occasionally run up to his feet and rub against him.

In layman's terms, it means being in heat.

Zhao Fangxu: ...

"Xiao Wang, are you interested in working for the company? I think highly of you!" Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses and asked expectantly.

Zhao Fangxu stated that Wang Ye was recruited into the company simply because he had admirable ideals…

It's definitely not because the other party has money!

As soon as Zhao Fangxu finished speaking, before Wang Ye could even open his mouth, Jiang Bailan's expression became somewhat ambiguous, and she inwardly complained.

He didn't want to point out Zhao Fangxu's mistake.

Are you suggesting that Wang Ye come work at the company?

Oh!

Working at your own expense is still working, so I have nothing to say!

Seeing that the other party was only inviting him to join the company, Wang Ye was well aware of their intentions. He immediately said that he didn't want to be taken advantage of, and then cupped his hands and said, "Chairman Zhao, I'm used to being a free spirit, so I'll pass!"

“Don’t rush to refuse, you can take your time to think it over,” Zhao Fangxu said, not taking Wang Ye’s refusal seriously. He raised his large hand and gently patted Wang Ye’s shoulder. “Come back to me when you have an answer. The company’s doors are always open for you.”

Although being valued is a good thing, Wang Ye was not happy at all at this moment.

Is it easy for him to swindle money from his father, Wang Weiguo?

You can't just fleece one sheep at a time!

He only has 169.89 million left, and his kids are going to starve!

"Would you like some ice cream?"

Chen Duo returned carrying a box.

The box in my hand is neatly arranged with pink, blue, and green ice cream...

"It's a Gu-infused Holy Child, Chairman Zhao, be careful!"

Behind Zhao Fangxu, two employees of Nadutong immediately stepped in front of Chen Duo the moment they saw her.

"Give me a strawberry flavor!"

I want blueberry flavor!

"I want one too!"

In response to Chen Duo's question, Jiang Bailan and the other two answered one by one, choosing a flavor they liked.

"Don't be nervous, everything will be alright."

After waving away the two company employees who accompanied him, Zhao Fangxu looked at Chen Duo and forced a kind smile onto his chubby face: "Chen Duo, can I have one?"

"You're the older man who's with Uncle Liao..."

Chen Duo stood there, stunned.

"You still remember me? I didn't expect you to have grown so much. It seems Liao Zhong has taken good care of you all these years." Zhao Fangxu reached into the box and took out a plain ice cream.

"Um……"

When the other person mentioned Liao Zhong, Chen Duo remained silent.

Jiang Bailan, licking his ice cream, quietly watched Zhao Fangxu try to persuade Chen Duo to live. After all, he couldn't very well use 'Reanimation Jutsu' on Liao Zhong!

"Chen Duo, how is this world? Are you satisfied with it?"

"That's great... The places Jiang Bailan took me to were all very nice and interesting."

The day's experiences flashed through my mind: playing games at an e-sports internet cafe, getting a massage and spa treatment at a foot massage parlor, eating snacks at a food street, riding the Ferris wheel at the amusement park, and the ice cream in my hand...

Chen Duo took a small lick, rolled up a small piece with her tongue and put it in her mouth, feeling the sweetness and coolness on her taste buds. These beautiful memories gradually intertwined and converged into a broad silhouette.

Chen Duo smiled, but a hint of loneliness lingered in her eyes.

"Thank you, Jiang Bailan, thank you too. This world is a good place, and I know you've all been kind to me..."

"But... I can't handle it."

"Can't handle it?"

Sensing the confusion in Chen Duo's tone, Zhao Fangxu simply looked at her quietly before saying, "Since you can't handle it, then find someone to help you. Chen Duo, come with me to check on Liao Zhong?"

Jiang Bailan: "??? No way, you're actually using the Impure World Reincarnation technique!"

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing: "Old Jiang, what's with that expression?"

Chen Duo: "???"

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Zhao Fangxu asked, "You don't think Liao Zhong is dead, do you?"

Seeing that the others remained silent, Zhao Fangxu's lips twitched slightly as he began to explain, "There is indeed no cure for Gu poison, but the company has been researching Chen Duo for so long, so naturally there are ways to resist Gu poison in a short period of time."

After hearing Zhao Fangxu's explanation, Jiang Bailan's face darkened.

Not dead!

What the hell!

He thought Liao Zhong was dead, so he went to Biyou Village with Lao Ma to give Chen Duo a chance to choose, out of respect for Liao Zhong. Now it seems that this was a complete waste of time!

Thinking of this, Jiang Bailan felt that if Liao Zhong didn't compensate him tens of millions, he should prepare to taste the slightly sweet Farmer's Three Punches!

"I go."

Upon hearing that Liao Zhong was still alive, Chen Duo hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

She had no choice before, but now she's going to start a new life!

Seeing this, Zhao Fangxu nodded, and then the group got into a Hongqi parked by the roadside and drove towards the airport in the distance, preparing to take a plane to the bunker in the South China region.
