The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

After a wild night, Chen Erbao slept soundly with a woman in each arm.

Every tree-lined path was covered in white frost in the early morning, and White Tiger Cave was no exception.

Bright sunlight streamed through the hall and into the room, spilling across the floor.

But while there were places the sun couldn't reach, Chen Erbao could.

Waking up naturally, Chen Erbao felt completely refreshed. He patted the bottoms on either side of him, then sat up and started getting dressed.

Perhaps out of shyness, or maybe embarrassment, neither woman got up. They just lay back-to-back, pretending to be asleep.

Chen Erbao didn't mind. He just smiled, grabbed his clothes, and left.

He had a busy day ahead. Tomorrow was his class reunion, and the day after, he was taking Lin Zhiqing on a trip to Changbai Mountain. He might not be back for a week, so he needed to get his affairs in order first.

Chen Dabao was looking after the construction crew, so they just needed to proceed with the work as planned.

Zhao Ruoying and Bai Xiaoqing were taking care of the mask factory, so he didn't need to worry too much about it.

However, if he was going to be gone for five or six days, he needed to fill up the Spiritual Energy Pool to prevent any shortages.

After having breakfast at home, he drove his Range Rover to the factory with Fang Yun.

Along the way, many women on their way to work stopped to greet him when they saw his car.

After fermenting for a few days, the gossip among the middle-aged women of the surrounding villages had turned Chen Erbao into a legend.

"That Chen Erbao from Bailong Village is amazing! He's driving a luxury car and making big money!"

"What? Chen Erbao from Bailong Village is a big boss?"

"Did you hear? Chen Erbao's dad is a big boss!"

"Bullshit. His dad's been dead for years..."

"I'm talking about his birth father! Chen Erbao was adopted. He found his biological dad a while ago, and the man is loaded!"

"Chen Erbao is a rich second-generation kid!"

"..."

That's how rumors worked. By the time they reached Chen Erbao's ears, several ridiculous versions were already circulating.

Chen Erbao paid no mind to these rumors.

They weren't a problem for him. He wasn't a celebrity, so he didn't need to care about public opinion.

Arriving at the factory, Chen Erbao first inspected the various workshops before returning to his office to handle some paperwork.

"President Chen!"

The phone rang. When Chen Erbao answered, Bai Xiaoqing's voice came through.

"Xiaoqing, have you found a professional manager yet?"

If he could solve the manager issue before his trip, he would feel much more at ease.

Bai Xiaoqing gave a bitter laugh.

"President Chen, it's not that fast. Even if someone agrees, they still have to resign from their current job. They can't just start immediately."

Chen Erbao nodded.

"Just keep it a priority. The salary is negotiable; we just need to get someone in."

"I understand, President Chen... Also, there's something I need to report to you!"

Bai Xiaoqing's voice turned serious.

"What is it?"

Chen Erbao thought something else had gone wrong.

"President Chen, three of the top cosmetics companies in Hongyuan City have started targeting us. Since yesterday, they've been cutting the prices of their own products. They've also hired paid trolls to slander our product online, claiming it's low quality and harmful to the skin. On top of that, the Administration for Industry and Commerce came to inspect the workshops today, and so did the fire department..."

Bai Xiaoqing rattled off a long list of problems, but Chen Erbao just raised an eyebrow.

"Is that all?"

'I thought the competition would have a more sophisticated strategy. Even sending someone to steal the formula would have been more impressive.'

Bai Xiaoqing said gravely,

"President Chen, we're being targeted on all fronts—from the factory floor to the sales market and public opinion online. If this continues, we'll definitely suffer heavy losses."

Bai Xiaoqing thought Chen Erbao didn't understand the severity of the situation.

Chen Erbao just smiled.

"If they hire paid trolls, we'll hire our own. It's just a money fight, right? Let's go head-to-head. Also, establish an online promotions department. Get official accounts verified on all major platforms and post our product safety certificates. Issue a public announcement: for any product purchased at our company's stores, if there's any kind of incident, the customer can get a doctor's note and we will provide compensation at one hundred times the price and assume all responsibility!"

Chen Erbao felt that the online issues were the easiest to solve.

'It's just a war of words!'

'My product quality is top-notch. How could I possibly lose?'

'People will argue even when they're in the wrong. Since I'm in the right, I should be unstoppable!'

"Don't worry about the department inspections. I'll make a call in a bit."

'Zhao Ruoying's uncle can probably handle that. After all, Zhao Feng still owes me a favor.'

"As for them cutting prices, let them. Not only will we not cut our price, we're going to raise it by another hundred yuan. When the time comes, we'll slap them in the face and show them what real confidence looks like!"

Chen Erbao was convinced that even if he raised the price by a hundred, customers would still buy it. No woman who had tried the Dream Fantasia mud mask could resist it.

Hearing Chen Erbao's blunt plan, Bai Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh.

"President Chen, it's a good thing our product is so solid. Otherwise, your methods might seem a bit... crude."

"Xiaoqing, I'm your direct supervisor. It's one thing not to suck up to me, but you dare to mock me?"

"I wouldn't dare! President Chen, your decisions couldn't be more appropriate!"

Bai Xiaoqing quickly changed her tune.

"Hmph, say a few nice things. After all, you wouldn't want to lose this job, would you..."

They both fell silent.

Chen Erbao felt that what he'd said sounded strange, a bit like a line from a Japanese colonel in an old war movie.

The same thought occurred to Bai Xiaoqing. She paused for a moment, then quickly changed the subject.

"President Chen, I'll get back to work then. Please make that call and resolve the department inspection issue, otherwise the assembly line can't operate normally."

"Mm."

After hanging up, an image of Bai Xiaoqing's fiery figure and seductive face unconsciously surfaced in Chen Erbao's mind.

'As the most beautiful woman I have around me, Bai Xiaoqing is naturally very attractive. I've just been too busy lately, or I'd definitely have to go and get a taste.'

'After all, my little brother has suffered for over twenty years. It's time for him to start enjoying life!'

He dialed Zhao Feng's number and got straight to the point.

"Don't worry, Divine Doctor Chen. This will be resolved in twenty minutes at the latest."

Zhao Feng agreed without hesitation. After all, for him, this was a small matter.

With all the troubles handled, Chen Erbao watched a news report about the Dream Fantasia mud mask on TV and fell into thought.

He still had a lot to do after he got back from his trip.

Lin Rui was starting school soon, so he had to make a trip to Binhai. Once he found the Spirit-Containing Object, he could set up a Spirit Gathering Array on Bailong Mountain and officially begin cultivating Spiritual Medicine.

As for the company, he was preparing to create a conglomerate. The cosmetics business would be merged into it, and so would the security company.

'Oh right, Zhao Feng also gave me three hundred million!'

Remembering the three hundred million, Chen Erbao felt a surge of excitement. He decided that as soon as he returned from Changbai Mountain, he would start making bold moves.

He believed that in less than two months, his name would be known throughout the entire Jiangnan Province!
