On the plane, Chu Qing, the Beautiful Demon Fox with a graceful figure and stunning face, was somewhat nervous and unnaturally seated opposite Shen Qiang. Looking at her anxious expression, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Don't be too tense, I know that we don't understand each other very deeply, but coming up, we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other."

Chu Qing smiled and said, "I will follow you because I feel that you are the person I've been waiting for."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Because when I fight, my demon aura skyrockets?"

Chu Qing smiled, "That's one reason, but actually, before that, I never imagined you would be a demon."

Shen Qiang sighed helplessly to himself, thinking that he was merely using the Essence Soul Foundation Establishment, not some kind of demon.

Seeing that Shen Qiang remained silent, Chu Qing smiled and said, "I've suddenly become curious, when I was at my home, you mentioned that Jin Chan and your tree son were practicing the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, but you never mentioned your own cultivation. Can't you practice it?"

Hearing Chu Qing steer the conversation back to this topic, Shen Qiang, distracted, casually replied, "That's for demons to practice; I'm a cultivator, how could I practice it?"

Chu Qing was stunned and then giggled, "You are a demon, how could you not be able to? You are a Dragon Demon, your aptitude couldn't possibly be worse than mine, so I think not only can you practice it, but maybe after you do, you will be stronger than other demons."

Watching Shen Qiang deep in thought, Chu Qing looked at him with surprise in her beautiful eyes, seemingly having realized something, and tentatively said, "You couldn't possibly have been pretending to be a cultivator for so long that you haven't even begun practicing, could you?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "That's right, I haven't practiced at all."

Chu Qing laughed.

Watching the charming Chu Qing draw Shen Qiang's gaze, Xiu Ju couldn't help feeling a pang of jealousy and butted in, saying, "Shen Qiang, was it necessary to make Bianyi look so attractive?"

This statement caused Shen Qiang's gaze to involuntarily flicker to Bianyi, who still hadn't awakened. He had changed a lot from before, almost like a completely different person except for his facial structure.

"There are two kinds of fierce dogs: one is ugly and barks everywhere to scare people, and the other looks harmless, acts cute and cuddly, but stabs you in the back when you're not looking," Shen Qiang laughed. "I obviously hope that Bianyi is the second kind."

"So, a slightly better appearance will make him seem more harmless and make it easier for him to approach others."

Chu Qing grinned and asked, "Do you plan to keep him with you all the time?"

Shen Qiang replied, "Of course not. I guess by the time we arrive in Provincial City, he should be awake. I'll send him off on his own to work for me."

"A man who always coughs up blood would draw a lot of attention," Xiu Ju pointed out.

Shen Qiang smiled, "Then he'll have to overcome that himself. At least until he completes the task I've given him and proves his worth, I won't save him."

"Alright, you're the boss; what you say goes," Xiu Ju conceded.

Noticing her obviously keeping a distance from Chu Qing, Shen Qiang smiled before saying, "Chu Qing, as you know, I'll be a student once we're back in Provincial City, so I might be quite busy. What about you, what do you want to do?"

Chu Qing smiled and replied, "Be your personal secretary, and when I have free time, continue writing my food reviews and working on my gourmet map."

"He has me by his side," stated Xiu Ju.

Chu Qing laughed, "I'll do it better than you."

"Are you looking for a fight?" Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow.

Chu Qing grinned mischievously, "I'll disassemble your dolls into parts."

"Although I don't know how you manipulate others' thoughts, Little Dummy isn't afraid of you."

Hmm!

Seeing Chu Qing and Xiu Ju, even though both were all smiles, the tone of their conversation was obviously a bit sharp. Shen Qiang coughed and shifted the topic, "Let's talk about Datong River. It's beset with troubles, but the old location has been repaired and is set to reopen tomorrow."

"Datong River will be packed with foodies drawn by its fame," Chu Qing said with a smile.

Looking at Chu Qing's smile, Xiu Ju felt displeased, huffed, and turned her head to look out the window.

Such a situation made Shen Qiang furrow his brows.

It seems, figuring out how to make them get along was a tricky problem that had to be solved.

By the time he returned to Provincial City,

The sky was already brightening.

He had called earlier and notified Zhong Yongxi.

Zhong was already waiting at the airport.

With no patience, Shen Qiang parked the business car in front of the Dinghao Hotel and immediately woke up Bianyi.

Handing a small mirror to Bianyi, Shen Qiang said, "Take a look at yourself. Are you satisfied?"

Taking the mirror, Bianyi glanced at his own imposing reflection, was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Impressive, I never thought I'd become this handsome."

Tossing a now-empty Qiankun Bag to Bianyi, Shen Qiang added, "There's a million inside, and the contract I've entrusted to you. Now, look at this hotel outside."

Bianyi leaned forward, took a look, and said, "Dinghao, I've been here before."

Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Since you've been here before, then I won't waste words. Listen up, the owner of this hotel had Datong River smashed, causing trouble at our place during the gourmet competition, and even tried to force Datong River to withdraw from the contest."

"So I've decided to take revenge on him and make him compensate for Datong River's loss with Dinghao. The current situation is that I've already acquired 35% of Dinghao's shares through the Zhong Family. The rest belongs to that owner. Your task is to kick him out and secure Datong River."

"By next Wednesday, the hotel's restaurant will transform into Datong River's Dinghao branch. Can you do it?"

Looking at Shen Qiang, Bianyi was slightly stunned and said, "Do you mean for me to use a million to buy the remaining 65% share of Dinghao?"

Shen Qiang shook his head with a smile, "That million is your pocket money. What would be your value if the 65% required money to purchase?"

Bianyi's eyes sparkled, and looking at Shen Qiang, he laughed and said, "Haha, you really are a bastard, I like a challenge."

"Then get moving. Get out of the car, walk in there, and get it done. Don't disappoint me, because I really want to know if you are just a little shrimp or a shark."

After hearing Shen Qiang's words, Bianyi laughed, "I'm neither a shrimp nor a shark, I'm a jackal that tears its enemies to pieces before swallowing them."

Watching the two smiling, Xiu Ju hesitated before saying, "Shen Qiang, isn't this a bit too much? Why bother? After all, Datong River just won the championship in the gourmet competition. People say success is the best revenge. Maybe it's time to stop."

Hearing Xiu Ju's words, both Shen Qiang and Bianyi laughed and said in unison,

"What kind of revenge is Datong River's success? Only by taking everything from that fool is true revenge!"
