Zhou Xingcai stood enthusiastically next to Yuchi, not caring at all about Wei Qingzhu standing beside Yuchi. She merely glanced and immediately gave up any hostility towards Wei Qingzhu. Firstly, the other party didn’t have any noticeable jewelry on her, appearing to be an ordinary woman. Secondly, the other party also did not speak disrespectfully. Thirdly, she considered herself ten thousand times prettier than this Wei Qingzhu, and there probably wasn’t a girl in the world prettier than herself. "President Yuchi, who would’ve thought that we had such a chance encounter last night!" Zhou Xingcai said warmly. "I didn’t expect it either," Yuchi smiled, contemplating that her status was indeed high. After his companion introduced Zhou Xingcai just now, he learned that she actually owned deeds to thirty percent of the clothing shops in Jiangzhou City. In other words, thirty percent of Jiangzhou City’s clothes come from her Zhou Family. The eldest daughter of the Zhou Family, similar to Changsun Mei from Xufu Town, but already evolved in status. No wonder she was so confident, really very wealthy. "President Yuchi, meeting is fate, I wonder if you have time tonight?" Zhou Xingcai asked expectantly. "Recently I’ve been quite busy, I will definitely call upon you in a few days," Yuchi smiled. "Yes, if the two of us could have a child, it would be wonderful!" Zhou Xingcai spoke bluntly. "Haha." Yuchi chuckled dryly, internally flabbergasted. He gazed at the people around him; those nearby were already viewing this as nothing unusual. This was typical thinking among women from these families, which was to try their best to secure good relationships for themselves. Zhou Xingcai was even more open-minded about it. She felt that to ensure her safety within the Zhou family, she definitely needed to have a child. So when she saw Yuchi looking good yesterday, she decided to see if there was good luck. Upon learning today that Yuchi was a president, she was even more thrilled. A treasure boy, Yuchi. Seeing him, she wouldn’t take him—why let other wild cats and grasses draw him in? Zhou Xingcai embraced Yuchi’s arm directly, amidst the sound of a young man’s heart breaking and the indifferent gaze of Wei Qingzhu. She was declaring whose territory was around Yuchi. It was hers, Zhou Xingcai’s. To hell with love, this is love—well-matched families, renowned, a talented man and beautiful woman. Everything else is nonsense. This is Zhou Xingcai’s way of handling relationships. Oh, girl, I’m still traditional, Yuchi thought helplessly, "This is truly a domineering female CEO." Considering the other’s dignity. Yuchi subtly extricated himself from her grasp, uninterested in such matters. He regarded himself as among the romantic, believing love to be love, separating it from tools is always best. Especially seeing children as tools, which inherently clashed with his own values. Zhou Xingcai, you are a good girl, but I am unworthy. He thought carelessly, chatting with those around him. Yuchi sensed Qingzhu’s apparent irritation, feeling at ease within. Whether joy or anger, as long as Qingzhu did not ignore, it was fine. After some consideration. If it were possible to sign some kind of contracts with Zhou Xingcai’s family, it might be good. Utilizing clothes from Xufu Town in the future would be akin to elevating Xufu Town’s garment-making to new heights. Currently, all clothing from Xufu Town basically catered to towns and villages. Entering big cities for sale was almost impossible. He had seen yesterday, those cultivators bought clothes without even blinking. This was faster than him winning money at the casino. "Too bad her temperament is peculiar, always feels somewhat unreliable." "No rush to talk about cooperation immediately, knowing there’s a person like Zhou Xingcai is enough." "The arrangements for the Xufu Town Commerce Association’s drafting isn’t fully set yet." "Have to wait till next year." Thinking such, Yuchi still engaged in lively discussions with people around him. Stringing together various polite phrases, flattering comments. "Your name sounds so lovely." "The girl at home is just the right age, let’s have them meet." And similar such comments. Amusing those around with laughter. After finally sending off this revered guest, Yuchi immersed himself again in conversations with others. In the middle, he took a glance at the young man chasing after Zhou Xingcai. The young man ran up and said, "Please, let me take care of you and Xingcai’s child." Yuchi was, of course, bewildered... mooching was not that easy. Thus the day ended amidst various socializations and conversations, in the evening, everyone returned in merry spirits. Yuchi, with a scalp tingling, returned to the inn. This was just the beginning. Tomorrow morning he had to visit the Celestial Capital Department, the day after tomorrow morning the Imperial Decree Department. The day after that would be the Demon-slaying Bureau, the day after that Xun Yu’s Defense Department. The day after that he still had to dine with people from the Four Major Institutions. He had already scheduled with families involved in Jiangzhou City’s clothing industry, a total of three families, those people also needed to dine together. Including various other invitations. Yuchi felt it impossible to leave Jiangzhou City in less than half a month. And certainly, this half-month would be spent in various dining events. Rolling his eyes, Yuchi leaned against the couch. "Originally, I wanted to take Qingzhu out to stroll, now it’s turned into dining events." "Various dining events." "Now clearly on my schedule, at least thirteen dining events." "By the time we leave Jiangzhou City, Qingzhu may have eaten till she’s chubby." "Chubby is good, plump and cuddly feels nice, as long as it’s not to Xun Yu’s level." "Otherwise, it truly would be a bit exaggerated." Slightly summarizing today’s events. The goal was achieved, and today, many people were met, this swarm effect was good. Furthermore, in this first meeting, discussing business was uncalled-for. Finally, it’s the upcoming smaller gatherings that might slightly foster relationships. To put it simply, it was like a school social event; would one let go entirely at such an event? The event was for getting acquainted; really want to treat someone to spicy hotpot, wait until smaller gatherings post-event. First a stroll, then dinner, then a movie, and hang around till there are no buses. Then sheepishly say it’s too late to go home tonight. And basically, it’s sorted. "Knock, knock, knock-" Yuchi got up to open the door, and standing there was a pretty girl, wasn’t it Wei Qingzhu? Before he could ask anything. Wei Qingzhu looked up at him, earnestly gazing into his eyes, and said: "Big Brother Yuchi, you won’t get together with a girl like Zhou Xingcai, would you?" "You wouldn’t, right?" "If you make such a choice, I would be very displeased." Yuchi was so amused by Wei Qingzhu’s straightforward words, he couldn’t help but laugh as he replied: "There is nothing between us, not even a chance encounter." "As for cooperation with her family, that’s business, I need to see them separately." "Moreover, with such a beautiful girl like you beside me, Qingzhu, why would I have thoughts about others?" Being pinched on the cheek by the young man in front, Wei Qingzhu was instantly delighted. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, soon resuming a calm and serene expression. What’s there to discuss with Zhou Xingcai? Such woman’s objectives are extremely clear; why bother discussing such things with her? It’s simply a waste of time. After saying this, she began to undress. "Big Brother Yuchi, it’s late." "Let’s sleep, shall we?" Yuchi smiled wryly, placing his hands on her fair shoulders, putting her clothes back on. He gently guided her back to Xun Xian’s side. Leaning close, he whispered: "Qingzhu, your Big Brother Yuchi here still wants to live a few more days." "Do you want Xun Xian to kill me?" Wei Qingzhu seemed to understand. Turning her head, eyes firm, she said, "Big Brother Yuchi, wait for me, I’ll go buy some poison and poison her, so you can have me." Yuchi was moved to tears. "Thank you, my dear ancestor." "But gratitude isn’t expressed this way." "We can’t take advantage of opportunities ."
