Chapter 402: Quite Absurd

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Quite Absurd

After Li Yanxian fell asleep, Wang Chenning left the room.

Li Fuzhen immediately came over and asked in a low voice, "She’s asleep!"

Wang Chenning nodded and chuckled. "Time to be swift and decisive!"

Li Fuzhen nodded shyly.

And with that same swift and decisive manner, Wang Chenning easily conquered Li Fuzhen.

After giving Li Fuzhen the most blissful experience and watching her fall into a deep sleep, Wang Chenning took a quick shower and then went to find Luo Yuqing.

On his way to find Luo Yuqing, he sent Zhao Xiao’an a text telling her that he would spend the night with her, so she should head back and get some sleep.

Zhao Xiao’an replied with a smiley face.

So, when Wang Chenning arrived at Luo Yuqing’s room, Zhao Xiao’an was gone.

Wang Chenning knew that tonight was definitely the most outrageous day he’d had in years, but this outrageousness didn’t make him feel embarrassed. On the contrary, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

He knew that under the influence of that reclusive master’s soul and mind, his entire outlook on life was slowly changing.

Possessiveness was becoming a greater and greater part of his mindset.

He wanted to possess more: power, success, and women. He wanted to have them all in great abundance.

Moreover, he hoped that a woman even more outstanding than the ones he had already met—one who combined all their strengths—would appear in his life.

The women he had met so far, while all exceptional and each with their own merits, had been conquered with almost no effort.

It all came down to the old saying: what comes easy isn’t treasured.

Although his desire for conquest was not completely satisfied, Wang Chenning, with his growing machismo, was unwilling to push away anything that was his, no matter what.

He was capable of conquering them completely and had no fear of being unable to handle them, so he held nothing back.

Thus, he was completely at ease with how he interacted with them.

"What did you talk about with Yang Xiaofei and Li Fuzhen?" Luo Yuqing got straight to the point after Wang Chenning came in.

Wang Chenning told Luo Yuqing about Yang Xiaofei’s and Li Fuzhen’s plans.

Luo Yuqing’s eyes widened when she heard. "Alright then. I want a ten percent stake in The Shilla Hotel’s Gusu branch. I’ll be the third main shareholder. Let’s give Yang Xiaofei eight percent. The remaining seven percent can be used to bring in some other people."

Wang Chenning understood what Luo Yuqing meant and had no objections.

"My investment portfolio in Gusu is already quite large!" Luo Yuqing began to explain her thoughts. "I’m not planning any new investment projects, but at most, I’ll increase my existing investments!"

Luo Yuqing told Wang Chenning that the Luo family’s investments in Gusu were mainly in real estate and electronic information, totaling around five billion.

If the talk with Dai Xingfeng went well tomorrow, they could expand the investment to ten billion, doubling its scale.

"Actually, you don’t need to worry about the specific investment amount. They care more about your intention to invest," Luo Yuqing said, sharing her experience with Wang Chenning. "So, tomorrow, you can tell Dai Xingfeng that you’ll most likely set up a major base for the pharmaceutical industry in Gusu. In any case, no matter what kind of grand picture you paint, they’ll believe you. You have a great deal of authority in the traditional medicine industry now, and they know how big the pharmaceutical ’pie’ is. And when you discuss the investments we just agreed on, you can’t be too eager to say yes."

Wang Chenning looked at Luo Yuqing with a grin. "It’s just like that saying: things that come too easily don’t bring a huge sense of accomplishment, and you don’t cherish them as much, right?"

"Exactly!" After nodding, Luo Yuqing grinned back at Wang Chenning. "Do I make you feel that way too?"

"Conquering my dear Auntie’s heart is not so easy!" Wang Chenning pinched Luo Yuqing’s cheek, grinning lewdly. "Hurry up and talk business. Of course, if you don’t want to get to the *more* important business, you can take your time talking!"

Luo Yuqing immediately pounced on him. After biting him playfully, her hands began to wander. "I’ve already told you all the important things. Now, let’s do something *more* important!"

At first, Luo Yuqing was full of fighting spirit, but she was soon defeated.

’The general pacifies Tianshan Mountain with three arrows!’

Seeing Luo Yuqing completely routed, Wang Chenning felt very pleased with himself.

He pinched Luo Yuqing and said with a teasing look, "Auntie, I’ve noticed your figure is getting better and better, and your face is getting more and more radiant. You really have me to thank for that!"

"I’m going to sleep, don’t bother me. Just go find Zhao Xiao’an or Yang Xiaofei!" Luo Yuqing said weakly. "My body and heart are both yours now; what do I have that isn’t yours? I just hope you don’t get tired of the old and favor the new. Don’t cast me aside into the cold palace!"

Before Wang Chenning could reply, she was already fast asleep.

After quietly watching the sleeping Luo Yuqing for a moment, Wang Chenning covered her with the blanket, masked his scent, and then went to Zhao Xiao’an’s room.

Zhao Xiao’an was still lying in bed playing on her phone. When she saw Wang Chenning come over, she immediately moved closer and sniffed at him.

Not smelling any particular scent or a woman’s strong perfume, she relaxed a bit.

Before Zhao Xiao’an could ask anything, Wang Chenning told her everything he had discussed with Yang Xiaofei, Li Fuzhen, Li Yanxian, and Luo Yuqing that night.

"It’s a shame I don’t have any money, otherwise I’d invest with you all too!" Zhao Xiao’an sighed heavily after hearing it all.

"How about this? I’ll give you Qingyun Hall. You can use it as collateral to get a good amount of money, and then use that to invest!" Wang Chenning suggested. "Or, you can write me an IOU, and I’ll give you the profits!"

Zhao Xiao’an froze for a moment, then buried herself in Wang Chenning’s arms. "Forget it. I’m not really interested in all that. If you need my help, I’ll do my best. I trust you won’t treat me unfairly. I’m all yours already, so why would I need so many worldly things? Besides, I know you’d never let me starve!"

"That’s what I love about your attitude, so open-minded about everything!" Wang Chenning laughed. "It takes a certain level of enlightenment to be like that!"

"I don’t want to talk about this anymore!" Zhao Xiao’an’s hands began to get frisky. "A moment of a spring evening is worth a thousand gold pieces. The night is late; we can switch to another way of discussing life!"

"Oh, you’re getting more and more poetic!" Wang Chenning, of course, wouldn’t disappoint Zhao Xiao’an and immediately played along, not forgetting to tease her a bit. "Have I corrupted the pure and innocent Chief Reporter Zhao?"

"Good, you know it!" Zhao Xiao’an opened her mouth and gently bit Wang Chenning. "You, you’re just insufferable!"

"Since you’re so dissatisfied with me, I’m all yours. Go ahead and take your revenge on me!" Wang Chenning spread his arms, lay back on the bed, and said, "Come on, baby!"

As Zhao Xiao’an threw herself at him with abandon, Wang Chenning’s mind naturally drifted to an even more outrageous scenario.

But he immediately pushed the thought away.

’Unless they’re willing themselves, he definitely won’t force them.’

’No matter who it is, one has to have a bottom line.’

’Even if that bottom line is pathetic, it’s still a bottom line...’
