The Real Way to Cultivate in the City
Chapter 133 - 124: Expanding Horizons! Breaking Into New Markets!
Mr. Hua was talking while showing Lin Hao the tablet in his hand, which displayed the profile photos and casual photos of all the technicians in the high-end club. However, Mr. Hua divided these photos into two parts.
Lin Hao looked at it, not understanding what the criteria for distinguishing these two parts were.
The appearance, price, and even the level of "Professional Massage Skill Certification" were similar...
If you have any questions, just ask.
Mr. Hua pointed to the photos on the left side:
"This part did not come to work on Valentine’s Day as they took a leave."
Mr. Hua pointed to the photos on the right side:
"This part was still working on Valentine’s Day."
Lin Hao’s expression was somewhat peculiar:
"What’s the significance of this distinction?"
Mr. Hua’s expression turned somewhat profound as he spoke:
"Ever since my family came up short on money, I’ve realized how important money is.
I thought, those who took leave on Valentine’s Day definitely have partners, and if they get married, buy cars, and buy homes in the future...
They will definitely need money everywhere, so we should support their work. They put in the labor, we enjoyed the service, and everyone’s life will become much better."
Lin Hao: Such a grand perspective... You’d better really think like this, kid.
Lin Hao handed the tablet back to Mr. Hua and let him choose for him.
Mr. Hua tapped the screen several times quickly and confirmed the choice of service provider. Lin Hao then asked:
"Didn’t you say you wanted to discuss serious business with me?"
"Let’s soak our feet first, soak our feet first, and then talk when the mind is clear afterward."
Lin Hao had no objections.
Eighty minutes later.
An electronic notification sounded in the room—
"Time’s up."
Mr. Hua said:
"Add more time."
Sixty minutes later.
After the foot soak, Mr. Hua and Lin Hao leaned against the sofa, eating dumplings.
After a round of small talk, Mr. Hua talked about the serious matter for finding Lin Hao:
"My grandfather signed me up for a getting-beaten-up convention, no, a martial arts tournament, for exchange with River Debris City."
From Mr. Hua’s statement, Lin Hao learned that River Debris City organizes martial arts exchange tournaments between two cities at regular intervals; every time they go, Ke Chen City "narrowly loses."
In the best of three system, Ke Chen City only wins one match.
This sole victory occurs when the representative martial artist from Ke Chen City is beaten to the point of fainting, and River Debris City voluntarily concedes.
"Brother, do you know why the martial artists from River Debris City are so good at fighting? Because...
The martial artists from River Debris City work more closely with the Extraordinary compared to our Ke Chen City, where martial artists specifically stay in Chenxi District, while the Extraordinary manages non-Chenxi District areas.
So, the martial artists from River Debris City differ from ours in Chenxi District, they are more than just good at routines; their hands have really seen blood."
At this point, Mr. Hua’s tone was slightly dissatisfied.
And Lin Hao understood why he was dissatisfied.
Mr. Hua occasionally chats with Lin Hao about his identity as a martial artist, frequently saying—
The great knight cares for the city and for the people.
After all, he’s not quite thirty years old~
Lin Hao asked: "Do you want to go then?"
Mr. Hua first shook his head, then nodded.
Lin Hao was confused by his actions, asking:
"So do you want to go or not?"
"Personally, I don’t want to go, but after understanding the situation in River Debris City, I feel like going there... The atmosphere there is much more open than ours in Ke Chen City, with highly developed entertainment.
You see, we only have high-end clubs advertising here, but they have Top Grade clubs over there. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
If I go on a business trip over there, get a beating, receive treatment, maybe I could open up the sales market there!"
Even in this dimly lit room, Lin Hao could see the fire in Mr. Hua’s eyes.
This is the fire of entrepreneurship!
Lin Hao: "So..."
Mr. Hua: "So I might go over there, and the sales plan in Ke Chen City will be slightly delayed, please inform your friends."
Lin Hao: "Why don’t you contact my friends directly?"
Mr. Hua: "Wouldn’t that be a bit abrupt? Aren’t your friends very socially anxious?"
While saying this, Lin Hao gave Mr. Hua the "real certificate" he got with the cooperation of Valve City Mayor and the mobile number registered with his real name.
In the past, Lin Hao’s incarnation couldn’t apply for an ID card, naturally he couldn’t get a SIM card, to avoid revealing the connection between the incarnation and himself, Lin Hao always had the incarnation claim to be "socially anxious" when interacting with Mr. Hua.
But now, the issue has been reasonably and legally resolved.
Mr. Hua: "Is it convenient for me to contact now?"
Lin Hao: "Of course, it’s convenient."
As Lin Hao’s incarnation, unless cultivating intensively to the point of going mad, generally he is online 24/7.
Seeing Lin Hao say this, Mr. Hua directly dialed the number Lin Hao had given.
"You are calling a number outside of Ke Chen City, the call is connecting..."
After some time, the call connects.
Mr. Hua hasn’t had a chance to speak before he hears a noisy voice from the other end:
"Mr. Ao, come, let’s have another drink, two little bees, flying into the flower garden!"
"Mr. Ao, another gulp, I don’t believe I can’t out-drink you. Today I truly want to achieve my dream, I want the boss to agree to meet my mom!"
"Mr. Ao, I’ll slash you once, slash you twice..."
"..."
It seems like a lively drinking party is going on over there.
Wasn’t this supposed to be social anxiety?
Soon, Mr. Hua heard Lin Hao’s friend’s somewhat husky voice:
"Don’t come one by one, come all at once!"
Oh, it seems real social anxiety.
"Hey hey hey, this is Section Chief Ao Tian, what dream do you have?"
Mr. Hua: ???
Mr. Hua glanced at Lin Hao, his eyes full of: What is this?
But he is familiar with the name Ao Tian; it’s Lin Hao’s friend’s name.
Mr. Hua politely spoke:
"Brother Ao Tian, it’s me, Lin Hao’s friend Mr. Hua. Lin Hao gave me your contact information, I need to talk to you about something."
Lin Hao’s incarnation: "Alright, just a moment."
Mr. Hua heard brother Ao Tian seemingly hush the crowd and then quickly exchange words with Mr. Hua.
Mr. Hua: "Such and such."
Lin Hao’s incarnation: "Oh oh oh."
Mr. Hua: "This and that."
Lin Hao’s incarnation: "Mm mm mm."
Mr. Hua: "Brother Ao Tian, what do you think?"
Lin Hao’s incarnation: "I’m okay with it, I trust you. When the goods arrive, just have Lin Hao give them to you, I’m currently on a business trip in Valve City."
After a few more pleasantries, Mr. Hua waited for Lin Hao’s incarnation to hang up the phone.
With business settled, Mr. Hua asked Lin Hao if he wanted to have another massage...
"No thanks, let’s go back."
Mr. Hua waved to Lin Hao, saying:
"You go back first; I’m staying here overnight."
Lin Hao didn’t suspect anything and left. Afterward, he released his Divine Thought to see what Mr. Hua was doing at the high-end wellness club, only to see Mr. Hua wearing massage attire, stuffing small cards into each room...
No longer forgetting the original intent.
While stuffing, he muttered:
"Today I spent money for two people, I should be allowed to stay overnight for two nights...
Before, I spent so much and never really stayed overnight, it should be considered...
Later, I’ll have the front desk tally up the bill."
Lin Hao decided to quickly repay the Hua Family’s one billion yuan; this brother is having such a hard time, thanks to his efforts.
...
The next day.
Lin Hao performed a set of [Rise and Dance] at the Hua Family ancestral hall, increasing [Vile Energy], then received a message from Li Chuchu:
"Lin Hao, come out, I’m outside the Hua Family ancestral hall."
Scanning with his Divine Thought, Lin Hao saw Li Chuchu and Qianqian sitting in a car without a license plate, only a temporary one.
Lin Hao sheathed his sword and went out.
Li Chuchu saw Lin Hao, got out of the car, pointed at the car and said to Lin Hao:
"Tan-tan-tan! This is our company’s official vehicle now. In the future, for your commute, once a driver is lined up, this car can pick you up!
Obviously, this car wasn’t specifically bought for you, but because I don’t want... Wangcai can’t sit in a taxi; it needs to travel with you to return home.
Also, in the future, anyone in our company who needs it can use it."
Qianqian poked her head out from inside the car, nodding:
"Ah, yes yes yes."
Speaking of work, Lin Hao asked:
"When is our store reopening?"
"Today! Since Chenxi District has reopened, my parents aren’t keeping me here, let’s pursue our enterprise!"
The fire of entrepreneurship also sparkled in Li Chuchu’s eyes!
"Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you, I’ve managed to extend the shelf life of the milk tea powder pack."
"How long can it be extended? A week or two?"
"A year."
"A year!"
