The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Is there anything else?" Tang Rao asked.

Zhou Boxiong thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It seems that nothing else is very important. You're now the big boss,

some small matters can be left to us underlings, you should focus on the big picture, no need to do everything yourself. Look at Zhuge Liang, he was so worried that he worked himself to death," Zhou Boxiong rattled on.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Alright, stop babbling this nonsense to me." Tang Rao flipped Zhou Boxiong the middle finger and then pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took two, and tossed one to Zhou Boxiong.

The two of them just sat in the control room, puffing on cigarettes, chatting about this and that.

"So, has Yan Wei asked you to sell Super Technology Weapons to the Nine Realms of the Seventy-two Domains?" After several cigarettes, Tang Rao suddenly asked.

"Of course. Otherwise, what do you think made our first splash at the Starry Sky Exchange? Although these Super Technology Weapons are outdated products from our previous two generations, they're really hot-selling in the Nine Realms of the Seventy-two Domains.

Do you know how much we're selling the Golden Core-level Super Technology Weapons for?" Zhou Boxiong asked with a grin.

"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones?" Tang Rao guessed a number, which he thought was already very high.

"Hehe, one hundred thousand would just be a small fraction, we set the price at one million Spirit Stones. Believe it or not, those rich folks from the Nine Realms of the Seventy-two Domains are plentiful, and within just half a month of launching, sales of the Golden Core-level Super Technology Weapons have already reached five hundred million Spirit Stones," Zhou Boxiong said, holding up five fingers.

Tang Rao: "..."

As expected, arms dealers are all damn rich.

"You guys really don't hold back." Tang Rao muttered. One million Spirit Stones was an outrageous price. To think, the manufacturing cost of a Golden Core-level Super Technology Weapon wouldn't exceed ten Spirit Stones, which means they marked it up by a hundred thousand times; it's just insane.

"Hehe, we're the only ones in the market, it wouldn't make sense if we didn't sell it at a high price," Zhou Boxiong said, "Besides, we're businessmen, so we needn't shy away from money. We're not running a charity here; naturally, we want to maximize profit."

Tang Rao looked at Zhou Boxiong, knowing all along that this guy would be an outstanding businessman, but hadn't expected him to grow so fast.

"Alright, then from now on, I'll just look forward to you making Spirit Stones for me." Tang Rao said with a laugh.

"Don't worry, I assure you that you'll be rolling in heaps of gold." Zhou Boxiong snapped his fingers, he was a bit scared at the start, but took just a few days to completely adapt, even enjoying the feeling.

It wasn't until that moment he realized he was a born businessman.

"What are you chatting about? Looks intense." A voice came from the entrance. Yan Wei was holding a bag of buns and soy milk, munching on a deep-fried dough stick.

"We were discussing when you're going to have kids with Li Li. Damn, it's just too boring with just us here. Have a little brat for us to play with, and I'll be the godfather," Zhou Boxiong said.

"Shit, she's actually pregnant." Yan Wei paused, then cursed with a smile.

Zhou Boxiong and Tang Rao both blinked twice, completely flabbergasted.

"Skinny monkey, you're really a winner in life, I have to admire you." Zhou Boxiong gave Yan Wei a thumbs up.

"Out of the three of us, you're living the cushiest life. Got a wife, and now a kid on the way, I'm seriously contemplating a rooftop meetup," Tang Rao also started bantering.

"No helping it, maybe I'm just a bit more virtuous."

"Shit, are you saying our virtues are lacking?"

"Yeah, quite obviously, that's exactly what I mean."

Zhou Boxiong directly started messing with Yan Wei, the two began to rib each other.

Tang Rao of course didn't join in but cheered on the two from the side. If he got involved, and accidentally didn't hold back his strength, these two guys would become meat patties.

The two fooled around for half an hour before calming down.

"Tang Rao, I need to tell you something, the situation with Tu Sheng has been resolved."

"I already mentioned that," Zhou Boxiong immediately said.

Yan Wei: "..."

"I deployed a Golden Core level Super Technology Weapon..."

"I talked about that as well," Zhou Boxiong said again.

Yan Wei rolled his eyes, "Can you just shut up..."

"Tang Rao, you see, this Skinny Monkey is getting arrogant from favoritism. I think you need to give him the cold shoulder for a while. Otherwise, this guy is going to get too inflated."

"Bang!"

"Ah..." Tang Rao directly threw Zhou Boxiong out of the control room; this idiot talked way too much.

Yan Wei greatly admired Tang Rao's approach. For a chatterbox like Fat Bear, the best thing to do was to just throw him out.

"First, I want to apologize to you," Yan Wei started.

Tang Rao looked at Yan Wei, somewhat puzzled.

"While you were in seclusion, I sent Jinxiu on a rather dangerous mission," Yan Wei explained, "I invented a rice grain-sized positioning and listening device, and then I had Jinxiu invite Yun Xi for a meal, during which Yun Xi swallowed the device."

"Holy shit, she wasn't discovered, was she!" Tang Rao jumped up in shock.

"Jinxiu did a splendid job. Everything was under my surveillance, and she didn't arouse any suspicions," Yan Wei said, "But I was too careless with this task, I shouldn't have sent her. It might have been better to send Li Li."

"Bullshit, nobody should have gone!" Tang Rao yelled directly.

Yan Wei looked at Tang Rao with a peculiar expression. Why such a big reaction? Could it be that something already happened between him and Fang Jinxiu?

"Hum!" The next moment, Tang Rao activated a Barrier with Spiritual Energy, enveloping both him and Yan Wei inside.

Even though the control room was very secure and unlikely to be bugged, when it came to this matter, it was better to be too cautious than not cautious enough.

"Yun Xi has been dead for a long time," Tang Rao dropped a bombshell on Yan Wei.

Yan Wei was stunned. What did he mean by Yun Xi has been dead for a long time?

"From the moment I met Yun Xi, she was already dead. Yun Xi has never been Yun Xi," Tang Rao said, shaking his head.

"Could it be... My guess is right, is Yun Xi actually Xue Xing?" A chill flashed in Yan Wei's eyes as he asked directly.

"Holy shit, you guessed that?" Now it was Tang Rao's turn to be stunned.

"When Jinxiu told me about your soul possession imprint, I suspected it because, to my knowledge, throughout the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, the only person known to master the mystical art of body snatching from the Heavenly Dao is one of the Four Great Judges, Xue Xing," Yan Wei explained, "I didn't expect my guess to be correct."

"So, in the future, try to avoid any interaction with Yun Xi. It will probably take me about four months to completely resolve the soul possession imprint. Before that, I don't want to arouse his suspicions. If he suspects that I know about the soul possession imprint, he might act prematurely, and that would be troublesome," Tang Rao said.

"Okay, I understand," Yan Wei nodded, acknowledging the gravity of the situation.

Xue Xing is the most mysterious of the Four Great Judges, an incredibly challenging opponent.

If he were to become suspicious, it would be a fatal blow to Tang Rao.
