Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Seeing Lu Chuan, who had easily defeated a group of security guards, being subdued by Chen Zhou in one move, Chen Yamei's eyes, who had been on the phone reporting the incident, suddenly lit up with a brilliant light.

After reporting the case, Chen Ya walked up to Chen Zhou and asked curiously, "Zhou, how strong are you now?"

Chen Zhou thought for a moment: "I'd say he's invincible."

In today's world, cultivators are akin to a dimensional reduction attack on martial artists.

Chen Zhou estimated that even if all the martial artists attacked together, they would only need to use a few spells at most, and they wouldn't even feel tired.

Of course, it's possible that there are others just like myself.

Then the competition will be about development.

However, Chen Zhou was confident that as long as the time difference wasn't over a thousand years, he would have plenty of fun.

After instructing the security guards to hand Lu Chuan over to the Inspectorate in a moment, Chen Ya and Chen Zhou went into the company.

As for whether the inspector will release Lu Chuan directly?

That's impossible.

Lu Chuan's luck has been absorbed by Chen Zhou, and he will no longer experience the phenomenon of turning bad luck into good.

If he's unlucky, his past murders might be exposed, and he'll suffer the consequences.

After entering the office, Chen Ya began to handle official business, while Chen Zhou sat to the side practicing his internal energy and playing on his phone.

Although the world's spiritual energy is scarce, this does not mean that cultivation is unnecessary.

In this situation, accumulating spiritual energy is one thing, but comprehending the cultivation technique is another.

In the cultivation world, there are many exceptionally talented cultivators who created amazing cultivation techniques during the Dharma-ending Age.

A scarce environment is often a breeding ground for martial arts techniques and spells.

Chen Zhou dared not compare himself to those exceptionally talented cultivators, but he had one advantage: his previous cultivation level was high enough.

A higher level of understanding leads to a different perspective.

With this strategic vision, Chen Zhou had ample time to transform the entire world so that it would support his ascension to immortality.

Soon, it was 8:30, and Guo Le arrived at Chen Ya's office with his entourage.

Guo Le took a document from the person next to him and handed it to Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou didn't even look at it before handing it to Ya Xin Zhou Bao's legal counsel.

After half an hour of verification, the legal department nodded to Chen Zhou and said, "Young Master Chen, no problem."

Guo Le then looked at Chen Zhou: "How about it? I've shown plenty of sincerity, haven't I?"

Chen Zhou smiled slightly, pointed to a spot, and said, "The sincerity is a bit lacking. 10% of the shares are very valuable, but 50 billion is still too expensive."

Guo Le's smile froze.

She knew that all capitalists were the same; price-cutting was practically their instinct.

Suppressing his inner resentment, Guo Le continued, "Young Master Chen, the reputation of Guo's Pharmaceuticals in the industry is well-known. This price is already considered cheap."

Guo Le wasn't lying; Guo's Pharmaceuticals was considered a pretty good pharmaceutical company nationwide.

If it weren't for the current tight cash flow, the fact that the new drug hasn't passed inspection and there's a risk of bankruptcy, she would never have put her shares in Guo's Pharmaceuticals up for sale.

It should be noted that even the Guo family only holds 55% of the total shares.

Giving away 10% at once is tantamount to scraping the flesh.

If the price is further reduced, then we will really suffer an even greater loss.

Chen Zhou shook his head: "Under normal circumstances, it would indeed be impossible to buy 10% of Guo's Pharmaceutical with 50 billion."

"But special times call for special measures."

At this moment, Chen Zhou's smile looked like a demon in Guo Le's eyes.

Chen Zhou continued, "As far as I know, Guo's Pharmaceutical is currently short of funds for transition."

"Therefore, my offer is 30 billion."

boom!

Guo Le slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "30 billion! Why don't you just rob someone?"

Chen Zhou remained unmoved and said in a nonchalant tone, "The 30 billion will help the Guo family get out of their financial straits, and at the same time, the Chen family can act as a backer to guard against other pharmaceutical companies trying to sabotage us."

"I think this deal is a great deal."

Guo Le gritted her teeth. She had thought Chen Zhou would be ruthless, but she didn't expect Chen Zhou to open his mouth and immediately offer 20 billion.

"40 billion." Guo Le tried to raise the price.

30 billion is far too low; she cannot accept it.

Chen Zhou remained unmoved: "30 billion."

Chen Ya watched from the side without offering any opinion.

Her eyes were filled with satisfaction and pride for Chen Zhou's growth.

When he first came home, he was tiny and a little dirty. Who could have imagined that 22 years later he would grow up to be so tall and handsome, and even bring business to the family?

……

At a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Gu Wanwan and Zhang Ling were both lying there.

Zhang Ling's back was covered in thin needles, while Gu Wanwan simply bandaged it up.

A short while later, an elderly man with white hair and beard, kind eyes, and the smell of Chinese medicine emanating from him came out carrying a medicine bag.

"Wanwan, now it's time to tell me who hurt you and your junior brother like this, isn't it?"

Gu Wanwan's face showed anger: "Chen Zhou, the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) of the Chen family in Shanghai."

Pointing to the wound on her left shoulder, she said with a wronged expression, "This wound was caused by Chen Zhou using Brother Zhang's bone-piercing needle. It hurts so much."

"He also threatened my grandfather and forced him to give you the 500-year-old ginseng that my grandfather originally intended to give you."

"Grandpa Ji, you must help me get revenge!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xia's face showed anger: "Old Chen's child is too outrageous. Grandpa Ji will go find Old Chen right now and make that Chen brat apologize to you tomorrow."

And that ginseng, we need to get it back as soon as possible, lest it be ruined by the young people!

With that, Ji Xia left in a hurry.

Inside the clinic, Zhang Ling, lying on the bed, asked, "Wanwan, is Xia really reliable?"

Gu Wanwan smiled gently: "Brother Zhang, although Grandpa Ji's art is not as good as yours, he became famous much earlier."

"He is now the only miracle doctor in Shanghai, and all the major families will give him face."

"Believe me, Chen Zhou will definitely come over tomorrow and apologize to us."

……

Yaxin Zhoubao.

Guo Le stared at the contract in his hand with a deathly expression.

The outcome was good; the business deal was closed.

The original expected price was 50 billion, but the final negotiated price was only 35 billion.

Although it's 30 million more than the 5 billion Chen Zhou initially proposed, it still feels like a huge loss.

However, this is the path I chose, and it is indeed the optimal solution. I'll just have to keep going, even if it's with tears in my eyes.

After a moment of inward reflection, Guo Le stood up, extended his hand to Chen Zhou, and said, "Young Master Chen, it's been a pleasure doing business with you."

Chen Zhou also stood up and shook hands with Guo Le, saying, "It's a pleasure working with you."

"I disagree!"

A loud shout rang out, and a middle-aged noblewoman burst in.

Guo Le frowned: "Second Aunt, I..."

The middle-aged, wealthy woman shouted, "You worthless thing! The Guo family's shares cannot be sold! You want our Guo family to be ruined!"

Chen Zhou didn't say anything, but simply threw out the bone-piercing needle.

The bone-piercing needle pierced through the noblewoman's body, leaving her speechless.

At this moment, Chen Zhou looked at the lady and said slowly, "The contract has been signed. If you have any questions, go to the legal department. I have no interest in playing your nonsense here."
