Now Liu Xiaobao was alone in room 72. He poured himself a glass of red wine, walked to the window, and sipped it alone while looking at the night view of the Huangpu River outside.

"Peace Hotel, it's time to say goodbye!"

Now that he had purchased a commercial building on Nanjing Road, Liu Xiaobao naturally planned to move his trading company there, and even his own residence would be moved out of the Peace Hotel.

The commercial building needs a few more days of finishing up; we can't move in tomorrow.

That's why Liu Xiaobao only asked his uncle to make preparations, instead of telling him to have people move the next day.

Although the Peace Hotel is just a hotel, both the former "Boss Bao 617" and the current Liu Xiaobao have been staying in this room for a long time.

Now that he was moving away from here, Liu Xiaobao felt a pang of reluctance.

But Liu Xiaobao also knew in his heart that a hotel is just a hotel, only a temporary place to stay. No matter what, it is not his own territory, and he still has to leave when the time comes.

Ring ring ring…

Just as Liu Xiaobao was feeling sentimental, his cell phone rang.

In those days, there was no caller ID, so Liu Xiaobao couldn't see who was calling. But there weren't many spam calls either. People who knew Liu Xiaobao's phone number were all acquaintances, so he didn't hesitate and picked up the phone to answer.

The call connected, and a woman's voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Bao, you really stole the show today!"

"Miss Li? Why are you calling me? Is something wrong?" Liu Xiaobao recognized the voice but was a little surprised.

"Mr. Bao, are you free right now? I have something I'd like to discuss with you in person!"

"Where to? Your Zhizhen Garden or..."

"It's not convenient to talk at Zhizhen Garden. Everyone will know as soon as you arrive. Mr. Bao, you should choose another place!"

Liu Xiaobao thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, let's meet at Xinlanju Hot Pot Restaurant on Nanyun Road!"

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour." Li Li said and then hung up the phone.

Liu Xiaobao hadn't eaten yet either. After hanging up the phone, he put on his coat and walked out of the Peace Hotel.

Since Su Jie had driven the car away, Liu Xiaobao had to call a taxi.

A dozen minutes later, Liu Xiaobao arrived at 'Xinlanju'.

When Liu Xiaobao came in, the proprietress was taken aback for a moment, and then asked him a question warmly.

"Mr. Bao? It's been a long time since you've been here. Have you been very busy with business lately?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled slightly: "Yes, it's not easy to make money after a long trip. Boss lady, are there any guests in the private rooms upstairs?"

"No, no, Mr. Bao, please go upstairs and have a seat. We'll have someone bring you the ingredients right away, just like before, shall we?"

Liu Xiaobao nodded: "Okay, the usual, but two servings. I have a friend coming over later. When she arrives, please tell her I'll be waiting for her in the private room upstairs."

The proprietress smiled and replied, "Okay, Mr. Bao, we understand!"

In fact, even the former "Boss Bao" rarely came to Xinlanju Hot Pot Restaurant; he would only come when he wanted to eat hot pot.

This was Liu Xiaobao's first time here. He chose this place because it was not far from Huanghe Road, making it convenient for Li Li to come over.

Soon the proprietress had the ingredients delivered to the private room, and Liu Xiaobao didn't wait for Li Li to arrive before starting to eat.

He started eating right away, waiting for Li Li to arrive while he ate.

About ten minutes later, Li Li arrived. She was completely at ease and sat down opposite Liu Xiaobao.

"The hot pot lamb here is pretty good, Miss Li, you should try it."

Li Li didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a piece of mutton and put it in her mouth. However, judging from the way she chewed it, she obviously didn't think it was that delicious.

At this point, she put down her chopsticks, did not comment on the taste of the hot pot, but asked Liu Xiaobao a question.

"Do you remember when you made a fortune in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange a few years ago?"

Liu Xiaobao was stunned. He possessed the memories of "Boss Bao" and naturally remembered those old stories. However, if Li Li didn't mention them, Liu Xiaobao wouldn't deliberately recall them.

Hearing Li Li bring up this matter now, and recalling what his uncle had told him before that Li Li was from Shenzhen, Liu Xiaobao seemed to have guessed something.

"Does Miss Li know Mr. A?"

Li Li did not answer Liu Xiaobao's question, but only reminded Liu Xiaobao.

"It seems Mr. Bao hasn't forgotten what happened back then. Alright, I won't beat around the bush. The reason I asked you out today is to tell you that Qiang Mujie has arrived in Huangpu. He's been asking about your whereabouts ever since he got here. He'll probably hear about your heroic act on Nanjing Road today. You need to be careful of him."

Liu Xiaobao raised an eyebrow, full of questions: "Qiang Mujie? Is he the legendary trader who manages Mr. A's portfolio? Why is he asking me about me? And why should I be wary of him?"

Li Li hesitated for a moment before answering Liu Xiaobao's question.

"He is not only Mr. A's trader, but also Mr. A's student. He is very resentful and even ashamed of your 'picking up corpses' behavior when you made money in Shenzhen Zhen Stock Market. So he will definitely cause trouble for you when he comes to Pujiang this time."

Liu Xiaobao finally understood what was going on; it turned out he had to take the blame for 'Boss Bao's' past mistakes!

However, Liu Xiaobao did not show the slightest fear. Putting aside the fact that he now had a strong financial backing, based solely on his previous financial knowledge, he would not be afraid of Qiang Mujie in the slightest.

Are you kidding me? No matter how capable Qiang Mujie is, can his financial theory knowledge surpass that of Liu Xiaobao, who will study finance thirty years from now?

After all, for Qiang Mujie, many of the trading methods thirty years later were unheard of and unseen.

For Liu Xiaobao, however, these were merely textbook examples that had already occurred in history. How could such two sides be compared?

As long as Qiang Mujie's capital cannot exceed ten times that of Liu Xiaobao, Liu Xiaobao has absolute confidence in defeating him in the stock market.

So it's fine if Qiang Mujie doesn't provoke Liu Xiaobao, but if he does, Liu Xiaobao guarantees he'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget.

Of course, although he didn't care about Qiang Mujie, Liu Xiaobao was still grateful for Li Li's advance warning.

"I understand, Miss Li, thank you!"

"No need to thank me, I owed you before!"

"Miss Li, are you saying this is to repay the favor you did me?"

"Compared to that, I owe you a much bigger favor, Mr. Bao. This matter can only be considered as repaying half of your favor!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and said, "I ordered two servings of mutton hotpot, Miss Li, wouldn't you like some more?"

"My shop hasn't closed yet, I have to rush back, Mr. Bao, please enjoy your meal!"

After Li finished speaking, she got up and left.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, muttering to himself, "This woman is really going all out!"

September 19, 1993.

That is, the third day after Liu Xiaobao returned from Hong Kong.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiaobao woke up and walked out of his bedroom, where he saw Su Jie.

"Didn't I send you to the hospital to see your master last night? Why didn't you spend more time with him? You're back so early!"

Su Jie replied somewhat dejectedly, "Don't even mention it. My master is getting along really well with an old lady in the next ward and he's started to look down on me. If I hadn't insisted, he would have kicked me out of the hospital last night."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao was stunned. He hadn't expected Su Jie's master to be so charming, still able to flirt with women even at over sixty years old.

However, this also shows that Su Jie's master's condition should have improved considerably.

"Su Jie, your master is more normal than you. You should learn from him. There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one!"

Su Jie did not answer, clearly indicating that he did not want to discuss the issue of women with Liu Xiaobao.

Seeing Su Jie's expression, Liu Xiaobao knew that his words had been in vain.

He knew that he and Su Jie were not on the same page when it came to matters of the heart, so he could only say, "Since your master dislikes you, then you shouldn't go anymore, lest you disturb his good mood and affect his recovery."

Su Jie agreed with Liu Xiaobao's statement.

Su Jie nodded and replied, "Yes, I never expected that my master would also be someone who has a female companion but no apprentice. From now on, I will not visit him in the hospital again until he is discharged!"

Liu Xiaobao chuckled: "You're the one who's abnormal, yet you have the nerve to say your master is heartless and has affairs with women. Is the hospital bill covered? If not, just tell me!"

Su Jie didn't stand on ceremony: "Thank you, Mr. Bao. It's enough for now. If it's not enough, I won't be so polite!"

Liu Xiaobao nodded, just as his uncle arrived at work.

Seeing the uncle come in, Liu Xiaobao greeted him: "Uncle, please take a break these next few days and organize all the account books and documents here. We'll be moving to Nanjing Road in a couple of days."

The old man put down his briefcase and turned to look at Liu Xiaobao: "Have you made all the arrangements over there?"

Liu Xiaobao replied, "Yes, those three buildings are all newly renovated, so we can skip the renovation part. After I bought those three buildings yesterday, I also hired someone to clean them and ordered a batch of office supplies. Now, all that's left is to make a company sign. Today, I'll go and register a new company, and after that, I'll order a large sign, and then we can move in and start working!"

The old man asked casually, "Now that you have the space for the company, where are the people? You can't expect me to be the only one working for you across three commercial buildings, can you?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I wouldn't want you to work so hard. Once the company is officially listed, I will immediately start recruiting. I will definitely not let you work too hard."

The old man didn't ask any more questions, but simply replied, "Since you've planned everything out, then move in. I'll start organizing this place today."

After saying that, the uncle immediately started tidying up.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao didn't bother his uncle any further. He called out to Su Jie, and the two of them went downstairs together.

"Mr. Bao, should we go to customs to pick up the goods first, or to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce?"

Liu Xiaobao paused for a moment before saying, "Let's go to customs to pick up the goods first, so we don't have to drive two cars later. I'll also get to experience what it's like to ride in a luxury car."

Without saying a word, Su Jie listened to Liu Xiaobao's arrangement and didn't go to drive. Instead, he hailed a taxi.
