The village beauty and me!

Faced with Li Saifeng's straightforward and slightly exaggerated praise, Chen Huan gladly accepted it, and even felt a little smug.

Which man could resist such praise?

It was clear that Chen Huan was getting a little too cocky.

Li Saifeng added quietly, "Now these two commercial buildings are truly in our hands."

"How do you plan to run it?"

Chen Huan scratched his head and gave a wry smile.

He didn't even consider this issue carefully.

I had told Xiaoying before that once we acquired the commercial building, I would hand it over to him to manage.

As for what Xiaoying was going to do, Chen Huan didn't even ask, nor did he care.

Anyway, this building practically appeared out of thin air, so even if it collapses, I won't feel heartbroken.

Faced with Li Saifeng's inquiring gaze, Chen Huan replied directly, "I've left it to a friend to manage; I don't know the specifics of what they're doing."

Li Saifeng frowned slightly. "What kind of friend is he? You can entrust a commercial building worth over 100 million yuan to him without asking any questions."

"Could it be a woman?"

"Young, beautiful, and with a certain charm—you must like that type, right?"

You guessed everything perfectly, not a single one was wrong.

Chen Huan truly admired Li Saifeng's vision and judgment.

At this point, the only way to change the awkward situation was to say, "No matter how high-end this commercial building is, it's still just a small place like a county town."

"My friend happens to know how to run a business, but I don't understand anything about it, so I simply don't bother with it."

  

Li Saifeng pursed her lips. "What's wrong with a small county town?"

"Don't underestimate this place; it may experience great development someday."

"The Ma family is no ordinary business family. There must be a reason why they chose to invest in building so many commercial buildings in this place."

"Although the person who initially controlled this project was an illegitimate child, the money used was all from the Ma family."

"Just wait and you'll get rich later."

Chen Huan neither confirmed nor refuted Li Saifeng's statement.

Seeing that Chen Huan wasn't interested in the topic, Li Saifeng changed the subject, saying, "No matter who you hire to run it, we will have a close cooperative relationship."

"How about we work together seamlessly from now on, so we can make money peacefully?"

Chen Huan nodded immediately, "That's only right. In the future, we'll have to rely on President Li's help in every way."

These words were said for Xiaoying.

Who is Li Saifeng? She was once a powerful figure in the underworld of Dongjiang City.

Even today, that would be considered a very successful financial business.

In the future, Xiaoying will be helping me manage this commercial building, and I will inevitably encounter all sorts of troubles.

If they are nearby, they can step in to help as soon as possible; if they are too late, they will naturally have to rely on Li Saifeng.

Li Saifeng had no idea what Chen Huan was planning, but she was still very happy and satisfied with what he said, and the two sides had a pleasant conversation.

Just like the direct physical interaction just now.

Chen Huan did not stay with Li Saifeng for long.

I originally planned to go to the shopping mall across the street to find Xiaoying and chat about taking over this commercial building.

When he went outside and took out his phone, he was surprised to find that Zhao Jingjing had sent him several messages.

The gist of it is that they haven't seen each other for a long time, and she suspects that Chen Huan, this unfaithful man, has forgotten her.

Chen Huan felt somewhat guilty.

Lately, I've rarely returned to the village; I've been wandering around outside.

Zhao Jingjing has indeed been neglected too much.

They've been helping out with all sorts of things in the village all this time, it's really unfair to just abandon them like this.

So Chen Huan didn't reply to the message, planning to go back as soon as possible to bring Zhao Jingjing some warmth and a surprise.

Thinking about going back to the village, after seeing Zhao Jingjing, I still need to find some time to go into the mountains outside the village.

Since their last encounter dealing with the snake demon and that evil cultivator, Chen Huan and Lao Bai have had no contact.

Old Bai previously said that he had swallowed the essence of the snake demon and needed to find a place to properly refine it.

So much time has passed, it should be about time by now.

I wonder to what extent Lao Bai's cultivation has improved.

"What would it be like if I could transform directly into human form?" Chen Huan couldn't help but let his mind wander.

He flagged down a car, told the driver his destination, and then leaned back in the back seat, lost in thought.

Thinking of Lao Bai inevitably brings to mind the snake demon.

Then Chen Huan suddenly woke up to the fact that he was still carrying the remnant soul of a snake demon.

He immediately reached into his robes and took out the crimson killing knife.

A menacing aura instantly enveloped the entire carriage.

The driver shivered inexplicably, muttering, "The air conditioning isn't on, and in the middle of summer, it feels like someone has poured a bucket of cold water on me."

Chen Huan chuckled to himself, then channeled more of his true energy into the Killing Blade to suppress the terrifying Yin energy it carried.

The remnant soul of the snake demon is now sealed inside the sword, although Chen Huan has no way to communicate with it directly.

But when he focused his attention on the knife, he was surprised to find that he seemed to be able to sense the emotional fluctuations of the snake demon's remnant soul.

There was some anger, but more of a feeling of tension and unease.

It seems the other party is unsure what Chen Huan will do to it next.

"Don't worry, since I promised to find you a suitable home, I will not go back on my word."

"However, some things take time. When the time is right, I will naturally fulfill my promise to you," Chen Huan said to himself, stroking the blade.

The remnant soul of the snake demon seemed to have heard his words, and its emotions became calmer, no longer as agitated and tense as before.

The driver secretly glanced at Chen Huan through the rearview mirror.

I noticed this guy was talking to himself while looking at a strange-looking little knife, and he seemed very focused.

He immediately showed a wary and disdainful expression on his face.

He muttered under his breath, "These days, are there mentally ill people everywhere?"

By the time Chen Huan returned to town, it was nearly evening.

Although it was dark, he still saw a very familiar figure at an intersection on the main street in the town.

The main thing is that her long, straight, white legs are too eye-catching.

He almost immediately rolled down the car window and called out a name, "Zhao Jingjing!"

The long-legged beauty was originally holding two large suitcases, craning her neck and standing on tiptoe to hail a taxi.

Upon hearing the sound, she quickly turned around and met Chen Huan's gaze as he slowly approached.

It was Zhao Jingjing, who had just sent the message.

After just a few days apart, the little girl seemed to have gained a more mature and charming air about her.

However, he has lost a lot of weight, and it seems that he has not been having a good time these past few days.

Upon seeing Chen Huan, she initially showed a surprised and delighted expression, but then her nose wrinkled, her lips pursed, and she burst into tears.

Chen Huan was momentarily at a loss for words. "What's wrong? What's going on?"
