Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 748: It's All About Survival
Chen Zixue swallowed Oden in his mouth, then took out a water bottle on the table and took a sip. Then, he replied, “Please ask, I will answer the best I can. ”
"What would you choose if you had to choose between a wolf and an eagle?" Ask Tang Xiu.
"I will choose an eagle," Chen Zixue said without hesitation.
"Why? Wild wolf in nature, always all-out with his strength, tough and tenacious — as you started eight years ago. Although an eagle can indeed fly high in the sky, it lacks the personality of a wolf, and can only survive in the food chain based on innate ability from birth. ”
"Elangs can fly into the vast sky and look down at all layers of life and living things. I prefer to sit up straight and alone. I don't want to be a wolf even if .. Alpha from the pack. "Said Chen Zixue.
Tang Xiu sighed. If it was a wolf, he still had the intention to tame it, but it wouldn't be easy if it was an eagle. One had to be on guard so as not to peck and blind when catching and taming the eagle, and although Tang Xiu had the ability to protect himself, he did not want to waste too much time on it.
Moreover, that Chen Zixue had too much wealth. If he became a cultivator, he would have the capital to remain in the competition, looking for resources. After Tang Xiu returned to Earth, he discovered that there were indeed many precious herbs here, but those precious herbs were limited, and he did not want to add any more trouble.
“Very unfortunate. ”
Tang Xiu took out his wallet and took out a hundred yuan sheets and placed them on the table. He then got up and said, "See you at the project tender!"
Therefore, he greeted Yi Lianyan and directly left the store 24 hours. He could agree to Chen Zixue's way of striking business deals and also acknowledge his abilities, but he could not acknowledge him as an individual.
Chen Zixue did not wake up. All sorts of thoughts revolved and revolved within his mind, recalling Tang Xiu's words before he left. Although he also realized that Tang Xiu allowed him to participate in the project bidding and was very likely to choose his Senyuan Group, what did he mean by his last sentence?
He could not figure it out and his mood was somewhat depressed.
"Do you want to have another portion of Oden, sir?"
Yi Lianyan came in front of Chen Zixue with a smiling face and asked after cleaning the disposable food box left behind by Tang Xiu.
Chen Zixue raised her head to look at her beautiful face. Suddenly, his heart moved and he asked, “Are you called Yi Lianyan? I am Chen Zixue, Senyuan .. Forget it. Just call me Brother Chen if you don't mind! "
"Well, how are you, Brother Chen?" Yi Lianyan smiled.
Chen Zixue nodded and said with a smile, "Do you want to sit down and chat?"
Yi Lianyan complied and sat down on the chair previously used by Tang Xiu. He then smiled and said, “Brother Chen should be quite a capable man, right? I've just heard your conversation. You want to have a business partnership with Tang Xiu, right? "
Chen Zixue found it funny, so she asked, "Does that mean I am very capable because I want to form a partnership with Tang Xiu?"
"Of course," Yi Lianyan said with a smile. "Tang Xiu was a very capable person. If you don't have any skills, how could he miss his sleep and come here to discuss business with you instead? However, I can say that it was you who asked for it after hearing the exchange between the two of you. ”
Chen Zixue could not help but laugh and said, "That's right. I was the one who asked him to give me a source of income and wealth. ”
“You can realize your dreams as long as you are sincere. That's what I believe, ”Yi Lianyan laughed. "As for Tang Xiu, she .. sometimes had her gentle side in some cases. ”
"Do you know him very well?" Chen Zixue asked, surprised.
Yi Lianyan mused before shaking her head and saying, “No, I don't know her well. But I can feel his side sometimes shining. Big Brother Chen, you're a very handsome man, but you don't have Tang Xiu's charm. I remember from before … "
Yi Lianyan's words suddenly came to a halt as if she realized that it was something that could not be said. Finally, she said with a somewhat awkward expression, “I remember when Tang Xiu saved me. ”
A smile rang in the corner of Chen Zixue's mouth and her depressed feeling changed for the better. He has a calm personality, to begin with, and rarely gets involved in idle conversations with strangers. But as an encouragement he wanted to chat with Yi Lianyan at the moment, so he was in no hurry to leave. Then, he said with a smile, "Can you tell me what ability he has so that he can be a savior for a beautiful woman like you?"
"I'm sorry . I can't tell you that. "Yi Lianyan refused with a dry smile.
"Oh?" Chen Zixue looked at him straight.
Being stared at by him made Yi Lianyan slightly stunned. He secretly regretted talking too much just now. He hurriedly got up and said, "Sister Chen, I don't think you are a bad person, so I'll say something. Don't ever have any evil thoughts towards Tang Xiu, or you'll end up very pitiful instead. ”
With that said, he immediately returned to the cashier and never looked towards Chen Zixue.
Chen Zixue slightly furrowed her brows and took back her vision. His eyes reflected that he fell and thought. The secret that Yi Lianyan did not want to say was probably because the matter was not simple. Although her curiosity did shake, she still suppressed the urge.

When Tang Xiu woke up from his sleep, he discovered that the person who was beside him earlier had disappeared. After getting dressed, cleaning his face and rinsing his mouth, he went to the first floor, and then heard some noises from the kitchen.
"Wake up in the morning?" Tang Xiu leaned against the door and watched Kang Xia's back, who was now wearing an apron and cooking.
Kang Xia turned around and smiled saying, “Are you not the one who woke up late at night? Why not sleep again? ”
“There is something very important that we have to do today. It is best to get up early and join in the fun, right? "Tang Xiu laughed. “However, the host of the project tender will still be you. I will just listen and watch. ”
Kang Xia smiled and said, “You are really a big boss, always idle and carefree. Anyway, just go to the dining room and wait a little while there. Breakfast will be served soon. ”
However, Tang Xiu did not leave, but said, "By the way, it was Chen Zixue who called me last night, then I met him. ”
Kang Xia was stunned and he immediately turned to ask, "What does he want from you?"
"His company, the Senyuan Group, has yet to complete the entire blueprint, but he wants to make a deal with me," Tang Xiu said. “This guy is very good, and I admit that he is the most business genius I have ever seen. I have to tell you another matter as well. The latest development plans of our Magnificent Tang Corporation have been leaked. ”
"What?" Kang Xia's face changed greatly and there was a faint fury in his eyes.
"I've already sent someone to investigate it," Tang Xiu said. “All senior executives from Magnificent Tang Corporation will be investigated, and I am sure the results will come out soon. What I want to say is this. The Senyuan Group has completed most of the overall blueprint design, and I have seen more than half of it. This is amazing. If there is no special design and low bidder in today's tender, choose this Senyuan Group! ”
“But this is not something trivial. '' Kang Xia frowned.
"I know . I see your point, "Tang Xiu nodded. "But Chen Zixue told me the original idea, and it was the kind of ulterior motive behind the offer. Although the number of jobs in Shanghai will be quite large, it is clear that he wants to produce a complete blueprint design of high quality, yet he does not have much time for it. He wanted to give up, so he offered another option … "
After a few minutes, Tang Xiu told Chen Zixue's plan and finally concluded, "He wants to bet on me, then we will let him make a bet. We will hand over the construction of our company's headquarters and industrial park to its Senyuan Group. Upon completion, involve him in managing the construction of our exclusive branch offices and stores. As long as he's not greedy, we don't have to pay attention to him again later. ”
Kang Xia thought for a moment before forcing a smile and said, “You oversimplified this matter. This Chen Zixue clearly understands that we should set up a branch office and exclusive shops in the second half of the year, hence he made this request. But you can't ignore something. It was impossible to complete the construction of the Magnificent Tang Corporation's headquarters and industrial park within half a year. Even a year is not enough. According to our estimates, this can be fully completed at least by the end of next year. ”
“I know that. But then again, we also saved the trouble of building exclusive branch offices and stores in different provinces from each other, right? It's not like we can build everything at once. We can deliver Senyuan Group projects in one or two provinces. After the work in the first province was completed, and if this company dared to rob us in broad daylight and become greedy, we could stop the cooperation in time. ”
Kang Xia thought about it and said, “That does sound good and makes sense! Then be! If there are no good surprises from the other auction participants today, then we will choose the Senyuan Group! ”
Breakfast was pretty good and it tasted good.
After Tang Xiu and Kang Xia finished their breakfast and prepared to leave and head to Paradise Manor, an uninvited guest arrived and destroyed all of Tang Xiu's plans for today.
"Why did you come here, Grandpa?"
Tang Xiu looked at the worried-looking Tang Guosheng and asked with a surprised expression, while Kang Xia looked somewhat uneasy standing in front of him.
The one who accompanied Tang Guosheng was Tang Min. There was a restless expression on her face as she looked at Tang Xiu, seemingly wanting to speak a few times but hesitating. Despite seeing Kang Xia and Tang Xiu living together, there was no thought of this matter inside his head at the moment.
"Let's talk in your study, Xiuer!"
"Good!"
Tang Xiu brought Tang Guosheng and Tang Min to the study room, while Kang Xia prepared to serve tea. When the tea was delivered and served to Tang Guosheng and Tang Min, he then prepared to leave.
"Sit there!" Tang Xiu said as he pointed to the chair next to the table.
Kang Xia looked dull and walked obediently, despite hesitating.
However, Tang Guosheng was somewhat surprised. He looked at Kang Xia and turned his vision to Tang Xiu before he slowly said, “A major incident happened. It's about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, along with a large number of intelligence personnel and soldiers. This is also about .. the survival and destruction of our Tang Family's hidden power. ”
Tang Xiu's heart was pounding and he couldn't believe what he heard. One must know that now is the age of peace. How could such a serious problem happen?
"What's going on, Grandpa?"
Tang Guosheng looked hesitant. He spent a lifetime in the military judging and reading people. Although she could see that Kang Xia and Tang Xiu had an unusual relationship, she did not know if she could trust him, because what she was going to say was the most important. The overall situation was important, and even more important in terms of Tang Xiu himself.
With her incredible wisdom, Tang Xiu found Tang Guosheng glancing at Kang Xia once more and immediately understood what was on his mind. Then, she said, “Grandfather, Kang Xia is my woman. Someone very close that I can trust besides him is a cultivator as well. You can feel comfortable saying anything. ”
