Naturally, Aunt Ying meant more than she said.
Her implication was that Liu Zixuan better be sensible; dealing with you might be doable, but dealing with the Willow Association, you'll die miserably! And I'll just wait to watch the fun!
Liu Zixuan shrugged at her words and said with an amused smile, "Don't worry, even if you turn to dust and reincarnate as a pig, you won't see me dead!"
"I've told you everything you want to know, just kill me." Aunt Ying glared at Liu Zixuan angrily, then said coldly.
"Killing you is impossible!" Liu Zixuan spread his hands and said, "You're still useful, how could I kill you! Plus, looking at you like this, I'm quite enjoying myself!"
"You!" Aunt Ying's face immediately turned red, "I never thought the great Liu Zixuan would break his word and use such despicable means to deceive me!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Liu Zixuan replied with a meaningful smile, "But I've always understood one truth, treat people accordingly. Back then, you kidnapped Zhou Nian and tricked me into almost losing my life. Wasn't that despicable and shameless?"
"Moreover, you're just a tiny ant I'm holding in my hand right now. Your life and death aren't up to you, it depends on my mood!"
Seeing Aunt Ying furious yet helpless, Liu Zixuan felt incredibly satisfied!
He said to the two bodyguards of Wu Mei by the staircase, "Treat her well. When the Willow Association really comes, I'll give them a big gift!"
"Yes, Mr. Liu." The bodyguards nodded respectfully.
At this moment, Wu Mei also came downstairs with her bags, "Are you done?"
"Yeah, aren't you planning on keeping this villa?" Liu Zixuan asked, puzzled, seeing her with lots of bags.
"No, I've ditched every place that Zuo Chenggong stayed at." Wu Mei said solemnly.
Liu Zixuan smirked. The rich are indeed rich; they can just say no and then it's a no. For others, even buying a property might take a lifetime, and they'd be reluctant to let go even if something happened.
"It's nearly noon. Want to grab some lunch together?" Wu Mei asked.
"No, I'm heading back to the company; it's quite busy over there at Xiumei lately!" Liu Zixuan shook his head and said.
As Wu Mei walked out of the villa with him, before getting in the car, Wu Mei asked, "I heard the Ghost Market has changed its rules this year. For some reason, they've shortened the originally planned three days to two days. So tonight is the last time it opens this year, there'll definitely be some good stuff. Make sure to go!"
"Changed to two days?" Liu Zixuan paused and nodded, "I'll definitely go."
"See you at the Ghost Market tonight then!" Wu Mei said, and then she got into the car.
Meanwhile, Liu Zixuan drove towards Xiumei Company.
Last night, although he earned some money from setting up the platform, buying the fan and the Ghost Gate Needle almost spent it all. Liu Zixuan didn't have much money on him, so he was heading back to the company to get some cash, ready to hunt for some treasures at the Ghost Market tonight!
Upon arriving at Xiumei Company, Liu Ruyan and the others had just ordered some takeaway from outside, so Liu Zixuan joined the two beautiful ladies for a meal.
While eating, he asked, "How much do we currently have in available funds on the account?"
"What's up?" Liu Ruyan asked.
As always, Jiang Yiyi managed the company while Liu Ruyan handled the allocation of funds, so she had significant authority!
"Wu Mei told me today is the last day of the Ghost Market, and there'll be some nice treasures out. I plan to try my luck and see if I can find what I need. You know how the prices there are exceptionally high." Liu Zixuan said awkwardly.
"No way, how could you be short on money?"
This was the first time Liu Zixuan planned to take money from the company; he had never done this before.
Jiang Yiyi asked in confusion, "What about the treasures you got out of the Seven-Star Tomb the previous two times? And didn't you get Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng from Crazy Zhou last time? Any one of those could be worth millions!"
"Those are fixed assets, I can't just sell the Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng. I have big plans for them in the future. As for the Seven-Star Tomb treasures, don't even mention them. Everything from the Seven-Star Tomb in Lingxiu Village was converted to cash and given to the villagers. I already gave that Luminous Pearl to Doudou, how could I sell it again!
The treasures I got from the Seven-Star Tomb in Ghost Wood City last time were mostly snatched by Crazy Zhou. The ones I kept can't be sold. Even if they were to be sold, now's not the time; those items have huge potential for appreciation!"
Listening to Liu Zixuan's explanation, Jiang Yiyi smirked, "I see you're becoming more and more like Crazy Zhou now, turning into a downright money-grubber!"
"What's money-grubber about it? Those are appreciating assets for future needs. Besides, the company makes so much money, why not spend it?"
"I'm just saying, it's your company, spend as you please." Jiang Yiyi shrugged, glanced at Liu Ruyan, and said, "But you should leave some bride price for marrying Ruyan. If you end up short on the dowry, Ruyan might not marry you, and that wouldn't be fun!"
"You little minx! Trying to stir up trouble?" Liu Zixuan grumbled unhappily, "If the dowry's truly insufficient, I'll throw you in as part of it, so you can be our bed warmer!"
"Liu Zixuan!" Jiang Yiyi immediately put down her chopsticks, nearly ready to lose her temper.
Liu Ruyan quickly interjected, "Alright, you two, meeting and bickering, aren't you tired?"
"How much do you need?" she turned to ask Liu Zixuan.
"I still have two to three million on me, but I could use around ten million more." Liu Zixuan said, observing the expressions of the two women, and added, "If there's not that much in the account, seven or eight million would work too!"
Liu Ruyan gave him a look, walked over to her desk, took out a bank card from the drawer, and handed it to Liu Zixuan, saying, "This card has twenty million in it. You're representing Xiumei Company at the Ghost Market, you can't embarrass us!"
"Twenty... twenty million!" Liu Zixuan exclaimed in surprise, "Honey, there's no need to bring out the entire family fortune!"
He hadn't expected Xiumei Company to have generated such a massive profit in such a short time!
"Pfft!" Liu Ruyan laughed softly, "You're underestimating Yiyi; how could twenty million be the entire family fortune?"
"Oh?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Then what's the current liquid asset of Xiumei Company?"
Liu Ruyan looked at Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi slightly frowned, slowly raised three fingers.
"Thirty million?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Three hundred million!"
Jiang Yiyi said nonchalantly.
Hiss!
Liu Zixuan took a sharp breath, directly grabbing Jiang Yiyi's hand, "Big CEO, you've really become my money tree!"
