When Liu Zixuan's true capabilities were gradually revealed by Zhu Yi, no one present dared to underestimate him. Instead, they felt more inclined to win his favor!
"I never expected Brother Xuan to be the owner of Beautiful Underwear. We really failed to recognize the hidden gem," Pang Xin said, feeling embarrassed.
Actually, Pang Xin fears Zhu Yi the most here. In the past, while competing with Zhu Yi for the market in Ghost Wood City, he almost made Zhu Yi dig up his family's ancestral graves. Ever since then, whenever he sees Zhu Yi, he calls him Brother!
Zhu Yi grinned, seemingly mocking as he cursed, "Still talking about not recognizing the hidden gem, I think you guys are just dogs looking down on people!"
When Zhu Yi cursed, everyone expected Pang Xin and the others to rebut, but surprisingly, the three of them did not even make a sound.
Yao Tianyang bowed to Liu Zixuan and said, "I've been disrespectful earlier, now I fully support you as the leader here! From now on, if there's anything our Yao Family can do, we'll go all out!"
Liu Zixuan glanced at Yao Tianyang, noticing some similarities with his brother, relatively speaking, he's rather smart.
He waved his hand at them, "Alright, if I were to hold grudges against each one of you, I'd have to go on a killing spree today. Just blame it on my... excessive love for keeping a low profile!"
These words automatically made Liu Zixuan put on airs! Of course, not one dared to refute him!
As everyone slowly began to disperse.
Liu Zixuan looked at Zhu Yi, "Brother Zhu, you're doing well in Lingxiu Village, why did you come over here?"
"Wasn't it because of that kid Wang Kun? He said you were coming and insisted I come too," Zhu Yi replied with a helpless smile. "But what about you? You're not the type who likes attending such gatherings!"
"Beautiful Underwear is at a crucial stage now, and it can't be unattended. With Ruyan here alone, I can't be at ease!" Liu Zixuan explained.
Zhu Yi scoffed, looking at Liu Ruyan with a smile, "So we have a Flower Guardian here!"
"Brother Zhu, stop teasing me!" Liu Ruyan replied with a gentle smile.
Zhu Yi nodded, throwing an arm around Liu Zixuan's shoulder, "Here, don't bother with anyone; they're all money-smelling folks who forget their surname once they get some dough, just like that so-called internet giant, Pang Xin."
"What's up with him?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Last time, he insisted on clashing with me. I nearly drove him to bankruptcy in a few days. Didn't you notice the way he looked at me just now? Like a mouse seeing a cat."
Zhu Yi laughed, absolutely unfazed, "So, Brother Xuan, you can't keep a low profile; you mustn't indulge their rotten habits!"
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "For a moment there, I didn't even know how to respond to your words!"
"Hahahaha!"
Zhu Yi laughed heartily, "Oh yes, a few days ago Zhu Yiqun and the others went to the village to find you!"
"Any particular reason?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Seemed like someone sent him four million in cash, saying it was yours," Zhu Yi recalled.
Liu Zixuan scratched his head, suddenly remembering it was when he visited Meng Yu's family regarding the debt from Jin Nan's brother. At the time, Liu Zixuan mentioned to hand that money to Zhu Yiqun and the others, not expecting Zhu Yiqun to specifically seek him out!
That kid's got a bit of conscience!
Liu Zixuan grinned, "I know about this matter. If Brother Zhu bumps into him upon returning, just tell him to dispose of the money as he sees fit!"
"Consider it done!"
Zhu Yi nodded, "Now it's established that you're the leader of the Business World in Ghost Wood City. There's nothing much to do here. How about heading back to Lingxiu Village for a while?"
Just as Liu Zixuan was about to decline, Wang Kun suddenly came running from the side.
"Brothers, you can't just leave like that."
"You rascal, we helped you as much as we could, what more do you want?" Zhu Yi asked with mock irritation.
"Well, you have to help me with this one last favor!" Wang Kun scratched his head, smiling, without any airs of an official leading figure in front of Zhu Yi and Liu Zixuan, rather like a child!
"What favor?" Liu Zixuan asked.
With that, Wang Kun took a sheet of paper from his assistant and handed it to Liu Zixuan, "Just now, some business moguls gave me a list. From it, I selected these businesses. Help me determine which to prioritize for support!"
Liu Zixuan took the paper and looked at it, "I feel the current society, if you want to win over people's hearts, you should support grassroots businesses, like these several private service industries on the list, and some public welfare sectors. You can't always think about boosting the city economy; helping those in need is key!"
"That's a great idea; capable people can rise even without support, but the grassroots remain oppressed, missing out on many chances!" Zhu Yi chimed in.
Wang Kun nodded in sudden realization, "Then we'll go with what my brothers suggested! Don't rush off; the exchange is almost over, there's a big party tonight, join me for a couple of drinks!"
Zhu Yi thought about it, "Let's see what Brother Xuan says; I'm not really into going, these days I just want to stay in Lingxiu Village."
Liu Zixuan smiled, "I'm not going either; I promised Auntie to have dinner at her place!"
"Alright. Rarely the three of us meet, it's a shame we're parting again." Wang Kun smiled reluctantly, "And who knows when we'll get to share a drink again!"
"Plenty of chances in the future!" Zhu Yi smiled at the two and left first.
Liu Zixuan said, "Oh right, I'll be sending people in a few days to start a Beautiful Underwear branch in Ghost Wood City. You'll have to lend a hand then!"
"That's all basic stuff." Wang Kun whispered to Liu Zixuan, "Just send people; no need to prepare anything. A few days ago, we raided a shell company; completed office building and equipment are all ready for you!"
Liu Zixuan chuckled meaningfully, "You rascal! Aren't you afraid of being investigated?"
Wang Kun shook his head, saying seriously, "I'm merely making a sound decision for the development of Ghost Wood City!"
Liu Zixuan rolled his eyes in mock exasperation, and then left with Liu Ruyan.
Further interaction seemed unnecessary. If it were a small business, surely contact info must be exchanged to network well with them.
But as of now, Beautiful Underwear's influence already surpasses everyone present, making such efforts redundant!
As the two left the guild hall, they initially planned to stroll back to the villa when a unique sight just nearby caught their eye!
