A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 42 4:30 AM

"Qi Yacha just left, and the third brother is already dating Feng Biwu again? How is that possible?"

When Li Chang'an returned home, Li Weizhou was nowhere to be found. He was once again surrounded and taken care of, with all sorts of questions posed to him. However, Li Delong was clearly not very convinced by his explanation.

Li Changping scratched his chin, unsure whether to say something or not. After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke: "Sanlang went to Qimeng Pavilion with Miss Mengjun at noon, and it's said that he even entered Miss Mengjun's boudoir..."

The whole family was about to explode. The eldest sister-in-law, Luo, was quite unhappy. Her father was a proper Confucian scholar, and there were strict rules in the family. He even looked down on Li Chang'an, let alone Li Weizhou, who was so dissolute.
She was especially angry when she saw her husband, Li Changping, looking so envious and admiring.

Moreover, he knew nothing about anything else, focusing solely on studying classical texts. But when it came to matters of brothels, he was more well-informed than anyone else…

It's ironic, really. Li Delong's appearance... was like a tiger, while Cao's was above average. Yet, all of Li's children were outstanding.

Li Dewang was born well, and Li Weizhou's mother, Yao, was also born reasonably well. It's understandable that Li Weizhou and his sister were born well.

But these children from the eldest son's family, I don't know who they take after!
However, it is said that the ancestors of the Li family were all quite good-looking, the only one who went astray was Li Delong...

I never expected that the next generation could actually correct it.

As for Ms. Luo herself, she could only be described as having average looks, which inevitably made her somewhat self-conscious.

If she hadn't known about the Li family's harmonious traditions, she would have probably thought to herself that some rather unpleasant things...

Second sister-in-law Guo was no longer angry with Li Weizhou. She remembered and asked, "Why didn't Sanlang come back with us? We should thank him properly today!"

Li Chang'an said, "He said he was busy with something, probably preparing to deal with that bastard from the Fu family. But he's acting all mysterious and won't let us know anything."

Li Delong frowned and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. He said we'll see in three days, so let's wait three days. With Fourth Brother in the Li family, nothing serious will happen! Although that bastard from the Fu family was ruthless, he probably figured that with Fourth Brother's influence, our family should be able to find a way out. Otherwise, Second Brother would have been dead by now. Let's wait and see. In short, we won't let him off easily! It's getting late, everyone should get some rest."

He guessed that Li Weizhou had probably gone to see one of his old flames again to vent his anger...

……

Changzhou Villa.

As night fell in Daqian, it was only a short time before dawn here.

"Mr. Li, this is Xu Qiang, the older brother of one of our roommates, a veteran. This is my roommate, Xu Li. They are both from Tianshan and have relied on each other since childhood. Xu Li went to university, but Xu Qiang got into trouble in the army. While on official business, he stopped some thugs and not only injured one of them, but also suffered serious damage to his own eyes. He had to leave the army and now works on a construction site. We know him quite well; he is an honest and righteous person."

Xiao Rui opened her bright, sparkling eyes and looked at Li Weizhou as he earnestly introduced the situation.

Li Weizhou glanced at the young man with a nervous, sheepish smile and the even more nervous, slender girl, and said to Xiao Rui with a puzzled look, "I told you, this matter is entrusted to you. If you're satisfied, that's enough. You don't need to bring it to any more interviews. We'll be hiring more and more people in the future; how can I have the energy to be an HR person and interview them one by one?"

As long as there are enough blood vessels in the pigs, everything else is a minor issue.

Xiao Rui blinked, then smiled somewhat shyly, saying, "But we've only met once... twice including last time. Mr. Li, doesn't your company have a dedicated human resources department?"

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "Baibaolou and this place are not related for the time being. This is a new company. Don't think that things are too difficult or amazing. Just do your job well, and if you make a mistake, you can correct it in time."

Xu Qiang, being honest, couldn't help but say, "Boss, besides physical labor and driving, I don't have any other skills. I don't know if I can do this job. If I can't, I'll leave on my own and have nothing to do with Xu Li and her classmate. They just pitied me and found me a job; they're good people."

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "It's just driving." He paused and then said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see where the workplace is. Xiao Rui, do you have your passport?"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "At school."

Li Weizhou said, "I'll take... Xu Qiang first. I'll show him around his workplace; it'll be quite tiring. Also, Song Jia and this Xu Li, there are company transfer documents on the table. You two are responsible for handling those and getting the necessary paperwork done. I've compiled a salary schedule for you to review. The three of you will start at 8,000, with bonuses on top. Xu Qiang's base salary is 3,000, plus performance bonuses for each truckload he completes. He'll easily earn over 10,000 a month. We'll discuss the rest later."

Everyone was very happy. Things are different now than they used to be. Besides, in a place like Chongqing, there are very few recent graduates who can earn such high salaries.

Xiao Rui asked, "Then what should I do?"

Li Weizhou said, "Go to the school now to pick up your passport, then fly directly to Thailand, book a hotel, and rent a car. I'll be there shortly. I have some business to attend to there, so I'll stay at the hotel to handle some matters. We'll catch the earliest flight back tomorrow morning."

Xu Li, who had been timid all along, suddenly said firmly, "Jiajia, go with the boss. I can do these things by myself."

Seeing this, Li Weizhou glanced at her again. He hadn't expected that such a thin and frail person would be so brave. He nodded with admiration and said, "As long as you have a passport, you can go. You can go too. There will only be more and more business trips in the future, and you don't have enough manpower."

Xu Li's voice immediately lowered again, and she said with a hint of self-consciousness, "I don't have a passport..."

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "Then you stay here for now and take some time to get a passport. Get things done for me with your brother, don't waste any time, let's set off now."

……

At the dried pig blood powder factory, Li Weizhou opened the large iron gate and led his brother and sister to the blood injection port outside the blood collection pool, where a blood pump had already been installed.

Li Weizhou said to Xu Qiang, "Your job is to drive that refrigerated truck by the gate to various slaughterhouses to collect fresh pig blood, and then pour it into the blood collection pool. This blood collection pool has a very large capacity, enough for you to pour. I'll take you there in a bit, and you'll understand how the job works."

In addition, to ensure the absolute purity of the dried pig blood powder, the hygiene regulations are extremely strict. During operation, staff must wear a head covering to cover their hair, a mask, gloves, and shoe covers; talking is not allowed, and smoking is strictly prohibited. Once the blood is poured, the staff must leave immediately without lingering.

The follow-up work will be handled by other staff; it has nothing to do with you, understand? Do not ask any more questions, and do not pry into the company's production secrets.

Xu Li, remember these rules. When you recruit drivers in the future, these will be part of the training. Violating the regulations will be severely punished, and you will be dismissed after two violations.

We will be recruiting several more drivers, and Xu Qiang, you will be the team leader.

"Let me remind you again, just do your job well. Don't be curious, don't pry into trade secrets, don't even glance at them, it won't do you any good." Xu Li nodded in agreement. Although she had many doubts after looking at the dilapidated dried pig blood powder factory around her, since Li Weizhou said it concerned trade secrets, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Since she lacked professional knowledge in this area, she wisely chose to keep her mouth shut.

Xu Qiang naturally gave a 100% guarantee that he would never do anything stupid, as the job opportunity was rare.

Li Weizhou didn't say much more, but took him to several slaughterhouses and brought back a large truckload of pig blood.

After putting on the headgear, mask, and other protective gear provided in the vehicle, the blood is drawn into the injection port using a blood pump, and one trip is complete.

Xu Qiang couldn't believe it was so simple. The job required almost no technical skills, but Li Weizhou told him it was that simple.

The only requirement is to adhere to strict hygiene regulations and maintain a high level of security and confidentiality.

Li Weizhou reached agreements with all the slaughterhouses because he offered prices that were 50 cents higher than the market price, making the contracts very easy to sign.

The newly purchased medium-sized refrigerated truck has a volume of eight cubic meters, but can actually carry about four thousand liters of pig blood... because it's impossible to fill it completely.

Xu Qiang works about ten hours a day, and including loading and unloading, he can haul five truckloads, which is about 20,000 liters.

If we recruit nine more, that would be 200,000 liters of injection per day.

In addition to Li Weizhou himself, because he didn't have the delays of loading and unloading, he could gulp down 300,000 liters a day without any problem, which would bring the total to 500,000 liters.

What concept?

In one day, it swallowed the equivalent of the blood of 100,000 people!
That unlucky Ye Yun, after draining the blood of about ten thousand people, was chased relentlessly until his death...

Of course, this would mean substantial expenses, with daily costs likely exceeding two million, more expensive than ginseng and dendrobium...

However, ginseng and dendrobium can only open the mind, but they may not be able to open it completely, and it's not that good or fast.

So it's worth spending any amount of money!

After instructing Xu Qiang to contact some reliable comrades to have Xiao Rui review his work, Li Weizhou left, and Xu Qiang began his new life...

……

Two hours later, Li Weizhou took a plane directly to Bangkok.

Three hours later, at the airport, Xiao Rui and Song Jia, whose expressions had calmed down, met up and they traveled together to Bangkok...

It's not the Peninsula Hotel, but the Sheraton Hotel.

The two hotels are only six kilometers apart. According to the theoretical speed of the world's fastest athlete, this distance should take about thirteen minutes and twelve seconds. In reality, it will take more than that, about fifteen minutes, which is about the same as the normal driving time.

Li Weizhou could probably run it in under eight minutes, and he could be even faster by taking shortcuts...

"You two will share a room, and I'll share a room. You two are free to do as you please, but you need to be back tonight, and catch the earliest flight back home tomorrow morning."

After Li Weizhou finished speaking, he went into the hotel room he had booked in Xiao Rui's name, leaving the two women looking at each other nervously.

Apart from his flight information, Li Weizhou did not leave any personal information in Thailand this time.

Having visited once before, he had every reason to suspect that his information had been leaked.

In Southeast Asia, panda-themed tycoons who use the dark web to buy weapons are as conspicuous as a fat sheep with a searchlight on its head in the dark.

It's perfectly legal and legitimate to jungle.

The two secretaries traveling together were a smokescreen, meant to draw attention to the situation.

I'm quite familiar with the process now: go to the dark web, place an order, and wait patiently.

Two Barrett rifles, and various types of ammunition.

Also, two boxes of M67 standard hand grenades, sixty grenades in one box.

Any one of them is enough to create a steel storm within a radius of fifteen meters!
With his current arm strength, this apple-sized grenade has a range comparable to a mortar.

With two more days of practice to improve accuracy, it will become a miniature guided missile, hitting exactly where you point it!
Li Weizhou was eager to see how many chicken feathers that dog could withstand!
Oh, and two boxes of Claymore mines...

This thing is invincible when it comes to group attacks!

The pickup location was still under the giant rock under the big sign in front of the Peninsula Hotel, but the time was earlier, an hour and a half before the earliest flight from Bangkok to the city, at 4:30 a.m.

P.S.: To be honest, transitioning to a new style is really difficult, especially when you're ambitious enough to write something a little more original. I've revised almost every chapter repeatedly. Without the support of so many new and old readers, I might not have had the confidence to persevere. The data is unexpectedly good; it's even ranked second on the overall new book chart. Thank you everyone, and I'll keep working hard.
