So, next, Elder Xie started introducing Qiu Tu to girls from The Five Elders' families in batches.
Honestly, Qiu Tu felt like his eyes were opened.
He had long known that in times of chaos, Local Tyrants and Old Warlords had the best life: making their own rules, without restraint.
And indeed, rumors often circulated in Xinjie City that The Five Elders would coerce, bribe, or outright force any girl they fancied into submission.
Now, having seen granddaughter after granddaughter of varying ages presented by The Five Elders, Qiu Tu believed it: those stories weren't fabrications; they were real.
Those five old men truly had a blast in their youth! These decades had not been lived in vain!
After going through seven or eight batches, just when Qiu Tu was getting tired of the changes, and The Five Elders began to doubt his sincerity,
the next batch of granddaughters was brought in.
Perhaps because all the direct granddaughters had already been reviewed, this time it was the turn of five girls from collateral branches of The Five Elders' families.
When that batch of granddaughters was presented, Qiu Tu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the last of the five girls.
She looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen, with a small goose-egg face and big eyes, slightly drawn brows, exuding an air of innocence and cuteness.
She wasn't tall, seemingly about 1.6 meters, but she had a good figure, slender but well-endowed, stirring a dangerous sense of desire.
Maybe because of her familial background, she wasn't very confident in herself, so upon entering, she hunched her body like a small quail, her head bowed, casting timid glances at Qiu Tu.
The Five Elders were all shrewd. From the moment Qiu Tu started asking for replacements, they kept their peripheral vision on him.
Qiu Tu had seen so many girls without his expression wavering, but this time, when this girl came out, his eyes kept darting up to her.
Thus, they couldn't help but glance at each other, finally showing a hint of a smile.
Elder Xie was still the one eager to cater to Qiu Tu. So, with a smile, he gestured at the girl and said, "Tangtang, come out."
Hearing this, the girl timidly raised her head, then stared blankly at Elder Xie before turning her pleading gaze to Elder Fang.
A simple gesture revealed her identity beyond a doubt: a girl from the Fang Family.
'Fang Tangtang?' Qiu Tu silently repeated the name inside his head and couldn't help but smile. It felt like fate…
The reason he had lingered on Fang Tangtang was merely because he had seen too many girls and become a bit distracted, then unexpectedly seeing one with such a figure made him think of the "facial cleanser" from earlier.
He was pondering: If one used such a big "facial cleanser" to wash your face, could you get smothered to death?
Who knew that The Five Elders would misinterpret that...
But it was alright; he had been selecting for so long, it was time to decide, so he didn't bother to clarify the misunderstanding.
Meanwhile, seeing that Qiu Tu was accepting this girl, Elder Lu gestured the other four girls to leave, implying it was time for them to step down.
Seeing this, the other girls, all too aware of the outcome, envied Tangtang as they reluctantly left the hall.
But after the girls left, the six people didn't immediately discuss the matter of Fang Tangtang but suddenly reopened the previous topic.
Elder Fang gestured to someone behind him, and a Suit Man came up with a document.
Elder Fang handed the document to Qiu Tu, saying, "Minister Qiu, we know that you and Director Tang have been desperately seeking capable people recently."
"In the past, we were considered top figures in Xinjie City and had a fair understanding of other families."
"These are individuals with exceptional abilities and character; you might want to take a look."
Hearing these words, Qiu Tu smiled and took the document, then opened it to take a look.
The next second, Qiu Tu was startled by the names on that page.
