The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

A light rain began to fall again outside the window. To the sound of the rain, Chen Erbao and Xia Qingxue circulated their Joyful Technique and Pure Maiden Divine Skill, respectively. In a flurry of intimacy, their souls intertwined as they officially began their dual cultivation.

...

The first rays of morning sunlight dappled the window glass as Chen Erbao slowly woke up. In his arms, Xia Qingxue was sleeping soundly, her face flushed and rosy.

Sensing Chen Erbao's movement, Xia Qingxue slowly opened her eyes. Her clear pupils reflected his face, making her break into a shy smile.

It was like a crabapple blossom bursting into full bloom, delicate and fragrant. The whole room seemed to light up!

Chen Erbao couldn't resist lowering his head and giving her red lips a gentle peck. He caressed her pretty face. "Qingxue, I have to go back to Jiangnan Province today. You and your junior sister should head back to Binhai Antiques Street. The Celestial God Sect's operation failed this time, so they probably won't send anyone else for a while. Besides, the Security Bureau will help me keep an eye on their movements. If anything comes up, I'll take care of it for you."

"I'll do as you say!"

Xia Qingxue's whole heart now belonged to Chen Erbao, so of course, she would follow his arrangements.

Chen Erbao gave Xia Qingxue the phone number of the two dimwitted tomb raiders he had met in Binhai.

"Contact them after you get back. If they have anything on hand, buy it all, regardless of whether it's authentic or not... These two are pretty simple-minded, so you should be able to handle them."

But Chen Erbao was underestimating Xia Qingxue. She had been on the run with her junior sister for over a year, evading the Celestial God Sect's constant pursuit, and had never been caught. Dealing with two petty crooks would be almost insultingly easy for her.

The two of them cuddled affectionately for a while longer before washing up, packing their bags, and getting ready to leave.

A truck from Medicine King Hall was already parked at the hotel entrance. Chen Erbao handed over all the jade he had collected over the past few days, then had the hotel arrange for a car to take him to the airport.

Xia Qingxue planned to find Song Yao first, and then the two of them would return to Binhai together.

Wenwen and Xiaoqian watched reluctantly as Chen Erbao left. Before he went, Chen Erbao even took a moment to comfort Wenwen, making the young woman's face turn beet red.

As the car sped down the highway, Chen Erbao gazed out the window at the scenery rushing past, his heart filled with anticipation.

'I've finally finished all the preparations. In one month, I'll make sure the entire nation of China knows the name Longteng Group!'

That was right. Longteng Group was the name of the corporation Chen Erbao was preparing to form. The name signified a dragon soaring to the highest heavens and roaming the four seas!

...

Around 10:30 in the morning, a passenger plane from Dian Nan slowly touched down at Hongyuan Airport.

As Chen Erbao walked out of the airport, his eyes immediately found a beautiful figure among the waiting crowd.

Her youthful, lively face was wreathed in a smile, her eyes curving into crescents. Two charming little dimples graced her cheeks, making Lin Zhiqing look even more stunningly beautiful.

The men coming and going couldn't help but turn to stare, but under their envious and jealous gazes, Lin Zhiqing threw herself directly into Chen Erbao's arms.

Chen Erbao breathed in her familiar fragrance, feeling a long-missed warmth as his hand stroked Lin Zhiqing's beautiful hair.

"Zhiqing, did you miss me?"

"I did! I missed you like crazy!"

Lin Zhiqing nuzzled against his chest, then looked up at him. "Er Bao, you've gotten thinner since you've been away!"

"Have I?"

'Maybe the big fight at the Steel Mill and the after-effects of the Spirit-Burning Secret Technique caused some changes in my physique.' Chen Erbao thought he had been eating quite well.

"Let's go. My second uncle has been waiting for you for a while!"

Lin Zhiqing pulled Chen Erbao out of the airport and into an eye-catching BMW.

Chen Erbao drove, feeling the familiar sultry heat of Jiangnan Province and couldn't help but miss Dian Nan.

To be fair, Dian Nan's location on a plateau made it an absolutely perfect place for a summer vacation retreat.

Along the way, Lin Zhiqing chattered on nonstop.

"Er Bao, have some water!"

"Let me tell you, the Dream Fantasia mud mask is now being sold all over the country! We have over thirty production lines running at the factory, but the daily output still can't meet the demand. As soon as it's available online, it gets completely sold out!"

"Also, the scalpers are getting more and more out of control! Our regular mud mask sells for just one thousand, but they're already reselling it for thirty-five hundred!"

"Sister Xiaoqing also found seven new managers for you. They're following her every day to learn the ropes. One of them even pursued her back in the day, but he's married now."

"..."

From Lin Zhiqing's chatter, Chen Erbao learned about all sorts of matters at the factory, both big and small. She even knew which employees had been arguing.

Chen Erbao turned his head to look at Lin Zhiqing's lively and adorable smile, and he felt himself completely relax.

'No matter how great it is out there, Hongyuan City is my home. Bailong Village is the only place where I can truly feel at ease!'

At 11:30, the BMW arrived at a hotel in the city center.

Lin Cheng and Lin Zhiyuan were already standing at the entrance, having waited for quite some time.

"Uncle Lin!"

"Er Bao, you were away for so long this time. I trust you had a fruitful trip!"

"Haha, thanks to you, Uncle Lin, the factory will be able to expand soon!"

"That's great. The mask has a huge impact and a great reputation right now. It's the perfect time for bold expansion!"

The two exchanged pleasantries at the entrance for a while, during which Chen Erbao also greeted Lin Zhiyuan.

"Second Uncle, Cousin, let's go inside and talk. I'm starving~"

Lin Zhiqing said coquettishly, hugging Chen Erbao's arm.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng gave a wry smile and said to Chen Erbao, "Look at that. Zhiqing isn't even married yet, and she's already siding with an outsider!"

"Hahaha..."

The four of them walked into the restaurant laughing, heading straight for a private room on the second floor.

Lin Zhiyuan watched Chen Erbao with a complicated expression. He never would have dreamed that the country boy who once had Lin Zhiqing ask him for help would have come this far.

And in such a short time!

'It hasn't even been a month, has it?!'

Several people were already waiting in the private room. Chen Erbao didn't recognize them; they were all internal staff from Medicine King Hall.

There were three of them in total—two women and one man.

They stood on either side, and when they saw Lin Cheng enter with Chen Erbao, their eyes instantly lit up as they hurried forward to greet him.

"Hello, President Chen. I'm from the sales department at Medicine King Hall, in charge of offline sales for the Dream Fantasia mud mask."

"I'm the assistant manager of the sales department..."

"..."

It turned out all three were in charge of marketing. They usually interacted with Bai Xiaoqing, but this was the first time they had met the big boss behind the scenes, Chen Erbao.

"You're all too kind. I have to thank you for your hard work. Otherwise, the Dream Fantasia mud mask wouldn't be where it is today!"

Chen Erbao smiled and shook hands with each of them.

The three of them smiled obsequiously. "You're too kind, President Chen. We were just doing our jobs. It's entirely because of your mask's high quality, plus Manager Bai's oversight, that we've had this success. We wouldn't dare take the credit!"

"Old Meng is right. We're just the green leaves supporting the flower. We're here to help an exceptional talent like you, President Chen!"

"Hahaha..."

Amid the cheerful laughter, everyone took their seats.

Food and wine were brought to the table in a continuous stream. Wine cups clinked as everyone drank and chatted, and both hosts and guests had a wonderful time.
