Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Listening to his complaints, Jiang Yingluo couldn't help but think of her own daughter. After all, she was still just a little kid.

"Eat and drink with me? Are you a pig?" Jiang Yingluo relaxed a lot and joked, "But a thousand yuan a day isn't expensive."

"So Aunt Luo agreed?"

"No way." Jiang Yingluo swirled her wine glass and joked, "However, if you come work for me, I can offer you a pretty good salary."

"Never mind then, I just like lying down." Li Xingzhou picked up his chopsticks again, now realizing that Jiang Yingluo also had ulterior motives towards him.

very good!

I'm not afraid of you having ulterior motives; I'm afraid of you having no desires or wants.

"Really?" Jiang Yingluo smiled. "I don't think so. Whether it's in western Lingshan or what you're doing now, it doesn't seem like you like to lie down."

"I'm working hard for the world," Li Xingzhou said proudly. "What's there to talk about being tired?"

"Oh, I didn't realize..."

"So I'd like to ask Mr. Jiang for a favor."

Seeing Li Xingzhou's suddenly serious expression, Jiang Yingluo's smile faded slightly, and she raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear: "What kind of help?"

“The West,” Li Xingzhou said softly, “The five states urgently need to improve their education and medical care. My sister certainly wants to make changes, but as you know, the cabinet is currently unstable and there are some constraints. If President Jiang is willing to invest, many problems will be solved. I will definitely reward you handsomely after it is done.”

"A generous reward?" Jiang Yingluo chuckled lightly. "Let me hear how you plan to express your gratitude."

Li Xingzhou chuckled and patted his chest: "I don't have much money. If I succeed, I don't care about human rights anymore. You can use my body anytime, Aunt Luo, for whatever you want."

Jiang Yingluo spat, "You talk so seriously, but you still want to seduce your aunt, you little pervert..."

"I'm the one who's at a disadvantage," Li Xingzhou said with a smile. "A virgin, ninety-nine percent perfect, a rare find..."

Jiang Yingluo rolled her eyes at him: "What about the remaining less than 10%?"

"You must be dreaming."

Jiang Yingluo was stunned for a moment, then realized that the little brat was referring to the one who had dreamed about her before.

"Pah, you lecherous scoundrel." Jiang Yingluo glared at him. "I'll slap you..."

The night was deep, and the stars were shining brightly.

The relationship between the two quietly grew closer.

······

Chapter 80 Aunt Luo, why do you smell like milk?

"President Jiang, thirty years."

While peeling shrimp, Li Xingzhou casually said, "For the first thirty years after the completion of the project, you will receive 60% of the profits, and after thirty years, 40% of the profits. How about that?"

"Within fifty years, 80%." At this moment, Jiang Yingluo's expression was calm, but her eyes were full of the sharpness of a president of Xingchen Group.

Although Li Xingzhou, who was sitting across from her, did not hold a specific official position, Jiang Yingluo certainly dared to speak her mind.

Because Li Xingzhou is capable, and because Li Xingzhou is Jiang Wanzhao's younger brother.

The signing of the contract is a matter for later; the purpose of this conversation is to first convey my stance to Jiang Wanzhao through Li Xingzhou.

"Master Li."

Unconsciously leaning back in her chair, Jiang Yingluo habitually crossed her beautiful legs in black stockings, showcasing the assertive side of CEO Jiang.

Strong women generally share this characteristic. This kind of posture is a powerful one, not something they deliberately put on, but rather a sense of superiority and composure that comes from their confidence.

Jiang Yingluo gazed at Li Xingzhou with her clear, beautiful eyes, as if she could see right through him.

“The five states in western Lingshan are sparsely populated, and the initial investment will only result in losses.” Jiang Yingluo slowly said, “If we want to develop, we need people first. The five states in western Lingshan are most lacking in people. Even if we relocate people, it will take at least twenty years to develop.”

I'm pleased with your assessment, and I'm willing to invest, but the initial investment in manpower and resources is substantial.

In this day and age, building buildings and paving roads are very simple things, and even construction can be completed in a few days due to magic.

These are not problems; the biggest problem is the lack of manpower.

The lack of people means that for a long period of time in the early stages, no one will buy a house or receive education.

Humans' reproductive capacity is far inferior to that of monsters.

“Starry Sky Group isn’t afraid of these initial losses.” Jiang Yinglu crossed her arms, which accentuated the alluring curves of her cheongsam. “But you also understand, there might not be many people going to that undeveloped area in the early stages. There are always fewer pioneers than those who are content with the status quo, aren’t there?”

As Li Xingzhou boldly surveyed Jiang Yingluo's figure, he slowly said, "What if my sister is willing to provide policy support for your company's businesses in the Qiming Realm?"

Jiang Yingluo raised an eyebrow. Although Li Xingzhou's eyes did not contain any lewdness, they were very restless.

However, Jiang Yingluo didn't care. Having already talked for half a day, she knew that Li Xingzhou wasn't some bad guy who would force his opponents with his strength.

"How exactly will this support be provided?"

"You'll have to ask my sister," Li Xingzhou said frankly. "I'll relay her message to you."

Jiang Yingluo looked at Li Xingzhou's eyes and chuckled: "I see now, little brat, you're pretending to be mature."

She finally realized that Li Xingzhou wasn't testing Jiang Wanzhao at all, but was just randomly changing the subject!

That brat, he scared me half to death!

Li Xingzhou chuckled: "I'll scout things out for my sister first. After all, your company will definitely be the biggest partner, I can guarantee that."

Jiang Yingluo raised her hand and beckoned to her secretary Lin Qin, who had been outside the door except when the dishes were being served: "Two more Bacardi glasses, please."

Bacardi?

What kind of wine?

Li Xingzhou looked down and searched on his phone. The results made him raise an eyebrow.

Bacardi rum is unique because it successfully blends smoothness and finesse into the inherent strength of rum. If you call it a passion catalyst, Bacardi is such a catalyst. If someone enjoys drinking this stuff, it means they crave passion deep down.

What a load of nonsense reviews.

Li Xingzhou put away his phone and looked at Jiang Yingluo across from him. Jiang Yingluo must also have passion in her heart. A CEO like her must have passion after defeating competitors or acquiring other companies.

Because this is the exhilarating feeling that comes from strength.

As for passion with women... Li Xingzhou reserved his opinion.

After all, he didn't know that Emilia had such thoughts deep down in the first place.

"Little brat, want to try some?"

Li Xingzhou picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said frankly, "I'm just an ordinary person."

Jiang Yingluo took a sip, her jade-like face slightly flushed, and let out a soft laugh: "What would you like to drink?"

"No need." Li Xingzhou knew that tonight was about time: "You and my sister can meet and talk tomorrow night. I won't pretend anymore."

"Okay." Jiang Yingluo nodded slightly: "Are you full?"

"Just enough to satisfy my craving." Li Xingzhou gave a thumbs up: "Delicious."

Jiang Yingluo waved again, and Lin Qin immediately handed Li Xingzhou a membership card: "Lord Li, as long as it's a restaurant under the Xingchen Group, it's free for life."

Jiang Yingluo added, "Consider it a gift from your aunt."

Li Xingzhou reached out and took it, asking curiously, "Aunt Luo, do you think it can trigger a scene where someone shows off and gets slapped in the face?"

Lin Qin pursed her lips, almost bursting into laughter.

Jiang Yingluo rolled her eyes at him with a charming expression and said irritably, "I don't know about the guests, but our managers are definitely of high quality."

"It's just a possibility, right?" Li Xingzhou chuckled as he put the membership card in his pocket, teasingly adding, "If we really run into each other, I'll call you, and you'll come over immediately to give me face, okay?"

"Alright, alright." Jiang Yingluo looked at Li Xingzhou, still acting like a child: "I was afraid you'd punch someone to death."

"It won't come to that. I'm a reasonable person. I'll do whatever makes me happy." Li Xingzhou stood up and said, "Then I'll be leaving now."

Jiang Yingluo also stood up, and just as she was about to say something, Lin Qin, who had put away her phone, walked to Jiang Yingluo's side with a serious expression and whispered, "The joint government of Tianqi Island has moved into the group's headquarters, saying they want to investigate taxes. They killed several security guards on the spot, and it was only after Elder Liu and the others, who are in charge of the group, stepped in that the situation was brought under control."

The gentleness on Jiang Yingluo's face was instantly replaced by coldness, and her slender hands clenched tighter.

She knew it.

Lin Jin's rebellion in the Realm of Enlightenment led to the uprooting of many of the Wei Clan's spies, leaving them in a predicament of severe financial losses.

So this is a plan to recoup some losses from the Star Group.

There are quite a few companies on Tianqi Island, but only Xingchen Group does not have a powerful figure from the Jiang family in charge.

It is precisely because of this that the united government of Tianqi Island chose to take action against the Xingchen Group.

Although the Star Group has hired semi-saints and saints at high salaries, Jiang Yingluo understands that if her life is involved, these people will no longer protect her.

This point was also included in the contract when it was signed.

Jiang Yingluo had a feeling that the united government on Tianqi Island would not give up easily this time.

I cannot go back for the time being.

Fortunately, the group's core secrets were all in their own hands, and the united government on Tianqi Island couldn't get anything useful.

"Aunt Luo."

"Hmm?" Jiang Yingluo looked at Li Xingzhou and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I'll see you downstairs."

"That's not what I mean." Li Xingzhou shook his head. "Is someone trying to kidnap you, or kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingluo was taken aback, and was about to ask something when—

boom!

The door to the top floor was kicked open, and dozens of figures dressed in combat uniforms and wearing tactical protective goggles rushed in with guns, pulling the triggers without hesitation.

They were clearly there to kill people.

Moreover, Li Xingzhou immediately recognized that these spiritual energy bullets contained spells that even cultivators at the eighth level of the Returning to Truth Realm dared not ignore.

These are firearms that represent the highest level of technology in this era.

Even among the twelve guards directly under Jiang Wanzhao, only one guard could be fully armed.

The armed squad in front of us was clearly the elite of the elite.

"It's a Spirit Weapon from our group's Storm series..."
