Chapter 146: Chapter 130: Never Drinking Again!

"This breakthrough, there’s really no problem. Let me tell you, some time ago...

I had a lucky encounter, all the hidden injuries in my body have been healed. This breakthrough is almost guaranteed, don’t worry!"

Faced with his wife’s concerns, Mr. Li finally revealed to her that all his hidden injuries had been healed.

Actually, this kind of news wasn’t something that couldn’t be shared.

If the healing of his hidden injuries was due to something easily explained like taking medicine or herbal baths, he would have told her openly.

But...

Drinking milk tea healed all his hidden injuries, how does that make sense?

If someone traced this and discovered Lin Hao’s powers, wouldn’t that bring trouble to his future son-in-law... no, no, wouldn’t that bring trouble to his daughter’s future business?

"Really?"

"Really, more real than that chest of gold when we got married."

"Honey, I still want to call the kids back."

"Not right now, let’s wait until I break through, and then have those two brats and our daughter come back for a celebration feast, in case I don’t..."

Before Mr. Li could finish, Mrs. Li stood on tiptoe and gently kissed him.

In the training room, after a moment of silence, their lips parted.

"Honey, there’s no ’in case’."

With a worried heart, Mrs. Li walked out of the training room.

Watching the door of the training room slowly close, with nothing else to do, she could only pace nervously outside.

Even though she knew it was pointless, there was nothing she could do...

She was just anxious.

Maybe she could check her phone to distract herself.

Mrs. Li took out her phone and looked at the notifications—

"Gold prices soaring! Stock up now!"

"Top ten hotels in Ke Chen City for holding a celebration banquet."

"How to win your husband’s heart, exclusive tips from River Debris City’s top lover."

"..."

Mrs. Li looked at the notification titles and furrowed her brow.

Was she being monitored? How could the notifications be so strongly related to the conversation she’d just had with her husband?

Mrs. Li wanted to uninstall the [White Shield Browser] that was sending these notifications, but she recalled that woman’s terrifying presence...

...

River Debris City.

City Management Team Guesthouse.

"Wow! This really tastes great!"

The Vice Captain of the City Management Team, Xiyu, drank the milk tea powder packet brought by the Devout Buddhist and raised an eyebrow, praising it highly.

"Who knew milk tea could taste this good? I’ve never had it before! We should really promote milk tea here in River Debris City. If all milk tea tastes this good, maybe in future business dealings, everyone will drink milk tea instead of alcohol!

We can greatly improve the city’s culture!"

With that thought, Xiyu immediately opened the [White Shield Browser], clicked on the smart assistant feature, and used the voice input:

"Help me write a work report promoting milk tea in the city. Emphasize how it could replace alcohol as a business negotiation staple. About a thousand words."

After the interface spun for a moment, a thousand-word work report appeared on Xiyu’s phone.

Watching the whole process, the Devout Buddhist was quite impressed, saying:

"What browser is this? Rich Monk has never seen it before?"

"Impressive, right? It’s a recently popular browser, very comprehensive in function. Compared to traditional browsers, it not only has a highly intelligent smart assistant but is also visually appealing. It even has a feature to clear all info if not opened for a while!"

At this, Xiyu also showed the work report in the browser to the Devout Buddhist.

"This browser’s release has made my work much easier. I just need to make some adjustments to the report, and it can be submitted! Some of the clichés are much better written than mine!"

In response to Xiyu’s praise for the browser, the Devout Buddhist frowned and said:

"Rich Monk believes, as the Vice Captain of the River Debris City Management Team, you should reduce your reliance on such software."

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I would never copy from the report directly, because then the software would be doing my work for me. If I just took a salary, my conscience would hurt."

"You have a conscience? Rich Monk covers the money for all the trips to the City Management Team, and you never offer to pay, not even as a gesture?"

"I’m broke. I’ve spent all my money and don’t know where I can get a bit more..."

At this point, Xiyu punched his palm and, looking at the already empty milk tea, thought of a good idea.

A way to improve River Debris City’s business culture, where deals are always made over drinks, and also make some money for himself!

Why not introduce the milk tea from Ke Chen City to River Debris City?

"Buddha’s Son, you mentioned earlier that you know the owner of this milk tea powder. Could you introduce us?"

...

Happy Milk Tea Shop.

After a busy day, Lin Hao prepared a cup of milk tea for all employees, then got ready to leave. But when he got into the company car, he opened his phone and saw a message from the Devout Buddhist.

This matter...

Lin Hao got out of the car and went up to Li Chuchu, showing her the message from the Devout Buddhist.

"Selling our products to other cities?"

Li Chuchu mulled it over, feeling... they could try it.

"Sooner or later, we’ll have to expand. We can try distributing some goods outside and see the feedback from other cities. Besides..."

At this point, Li Chuchu, slightly excited, took out her phone and entered into her notes:

"Does this friend of yours also have special abilities, able to connect with the officials in River Debris City?"

Lin Hao nodded.

Li Chuchu: "Great, I was thinking of expanding to other markets and would have to ask my dad for help, which would end with him setting me up on a date, which would be troublesome. Now I can bypass my dad!"

Watching Li Chuchu’s fingers dance on the phone, Lin Hao could feel her joy.

"Then I’ll send you this friend’s contact info. Leave the business side to Boss Li!"

"Don’t worry, Boss Lin! Mission guaranteed!"

Happily, Li Chuchu added the Devout Buddhist’s contact, waved at Lin Hao, and hopped back into the Happy Milk Tea Shop. Energetically, she picked up a broom and said:

"Everyone, finish your work quickly and go home early to sleep."

Qianqian quietly said:

"It’s late at night, everyone wants to rest, so naturally, work efficiency will be high!"

Soon, Happy Milk Tea Shop was cleaned up for the night, and the employees went home.

The Driver of Schemes, who was supposed to send Lin Hao back to the City Management Team, returned.

"Miss, are you going home?"

"Of course, it’s that time when everyone heads home." Li Chuchu looked at her father’s assigned driver with some confusion.

"No, I mean, to the Li Family Manor. The madam and sir have something to discuss with you."

"What on earth could it be in the middle of the night that can’t be discussed over the phone?"

Feeling perplexed, Li Chuchu didn’t mind; she’d find out once she got home.

She asked Qianqian to get in the car.

In the car, Li Chuchu was engaged in an online conversation with the Devout Buddhist, and during the chat, the Devout Buddhist created a group chat, adding a contact named "Flowing Water Does Not Rot."

Devout Buddhist: @Flowing Water Does Not Rot, this is Xiyu, the Vice Captain of River Debris City’s City Management Team. You can discuss how to promote your milk tea with him.

Li Chuchu: Hello, Captain Xiyu.

Flowing Water Does Not Rot: Just call me Vice Captain Xiyu, please don’t call me ’Captain.’

Seeing Xiyu’s message, Li Chuchu thought this must be an interesting person.

To learn more, Li Chuchu opened his social media feed and took a peek.

"Drinking."

"I’ll never drink again!"

"Drinking."

"Drinking."

"Starting today, I quit drinking!"

"Drinking."

Li Chuchu: ...

Is this person really negotiating milk tea sales?

Could he be discussing adding alcohol to milk tea instead?
