Volume 1, Chapter 149: A Partnership Comes Knocking!

"Chairman, this is very simple. You just need to have a word with the senior executives over at Douyin!"

"The identity of this Hua Manlou can be obtained at any time."

"After all, he is registered under his real name on Douyin!" Yang Guolong reminded him.

"That is a taboo!"

"If... if the real-name registration is exposed, and this matter leaks out, my friend will face the risk of being fired!"

"If you have similar connections, you are welcome to try!"

"I am leaving this matter to you. Whatever it takes, find out the background of this Hua Manlou and recruit him for me!" Chu Jiuzhou stood up and issued his ultimatum.

He was now...

Sun Kaili knew that she would find it difficult to have another chance to contact Lu Jie, but was she to watch Lu Jie leave just as she had watched Qin Tianshuo leave last time? She wanted to stop him, but had no reason to do so. Moreover, the situation was very unfavorable for her now; to persist further would only be counterproductive.

Madam Huang was furious and severely punished the maid by Huang Yan's side. After sleeping for two days, Huang Yan woke up and told her mother the truth, begging her and her father to seek justice for her.

Shen Lu put on her apron and began to busy herself in the kitchen. Zhang Qidong, having nothing better to do, said he would go to the kitchen to help her, though whether he had any ulterior motives remained unknown.

Furthermore, she could combine spiritual energy of five different attributes to achieve miraculous effects.

She truly did not intend to betray him; she simply could not bear to watch her savior end up dead at the hands of her husband. She could not endure that.

Gu Qingcheng’s waist was still somewhat stiff, but he could manage. Jiang Se suddenly leaned over to instruct him, leaving him with the feeling that she was very dissatisfied with his performance.

Following the instructions of the demon creature from earlier, Liu Ningyou finally, after much wandering, arrived at the gates of the Demon Lord's mansion.

"If you are tired, go and rest. I will be holding a meeting here," Gu Qingcheng said, looking concerned before the meeting began, seeing her looking as if she were about to fall asleep.

Xu Feifei looked down at the paper. As she read, she felt both surprised and incredulous. One of those two jade pendants was the one she wore around her neck, left to her by her mother, and the other was the one Xu Yunze had given her to test her.

"Shopkeeper, I want these medicinal herbs." Arriving at the largest pharmacy in Jincheng, Chang Ge Yue handed over a list.

"Kill four, capture four alive!" Chen Han had to issue such an order; otherwise, he had no confidence in containing eight Immortal Venerables.

She did not know what that thing was, but subconsciously, she sensed an unprecedented danger.

Under Lin Sheng's instruction, Duan Xin walked straight toward a deserted no-man's-land, with Lin Sheng following far behind. This time, Lin Sheng intended to lure his enemy into the trap.

The status of the head of the Qingyi Guard was a royal secret. Bai Fuling preferred to remain ignorant and had no intention of inquiring further; knowing too much was sometimes not a good thing. She wondered at what cost her mother had managed to leave the Qingyi Guard back then.

"What do you mean by that? She has always been kind and loving; how could she be the vicious and mean person you describe? Where on earth did you hear such rumors?" The Jade Emperor’s face darkened.

"Uh, let's not, shall we?" Although Yisheng knew he was joking, she still could not bring herself to say yes.

"Look at you, are you used to it?" Xing'er looked at his handsome face, unable to look away. She hadn't seen him for a full half-month. With the palace affairs being so numerous, she hadn't felt the longing, but now seeing that he seemed much thinner, her heart tightened instantly.

"I would like to ask the Princess to condescend to serve as the guest of honor for Ling'er’s coming-of-age ceremony." Mu Peilan had been waiting for this old friend to return, partly out of genuine longing, and partly for this very reason.

A strange thing happened: outside the Shengyang Hall, a sudden silence fell, and the disciples of the Chiyan Sect ceased their attacks.

The behavior of Su Yun and Yan Xiaoxiao left Feng Li with deep anxiety; he feared that such things would happen again in the future.

"The wedding will only take a few days; it won't delay your affairs," Hao Xiuying cast him an annoyed glance.

Gu Qingyu raised her hand to cover her eyes and her tear-rimmed lids, not wanting others to see her emotions.

Returning to the dormitory under the cover of night, as soon as she stepped into the room, the chatting between Xuan Qin and Luo Feifei ceased.

"If you still consider me your aunt, don't refuse." Madam Yang, without room for argument, placed the money bag into the bundle.

Suddenly attracting more than a dozen tiger sharks, the sharks darted about on the seabed, a sight that left Huo Sining feeling somewhat terrified.

Wu Jingyi, however, was overjoyed upon hearing Old Master Zhang's words, her excitement and delight plain for all to see.

Even when she was at the Donghuang Chamber of Commerce, her pupil techniques had failed to detect the fragment of the Heart-Protecting Mirror, yet she had felt a spiritual intuition and bought it.

"If you know you're wrong, then stop right there and let me slap you a few times properly, otherwise, hmph!" Ji Yun gritted her teeth and threatened Su Youji fiercely. Damn it, I even learned to bark like a dog; if I don't catch you, I'll have barked all those times in vain.

"Whoosh!" A crimson shadow, carrying immense and formidable force, shot over from a distance. The air erupted with sonic booms as it tore through space, bypassing Yan Shu'er and crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact.

There was still a long road ahead, and having not yet truly comprehended the path of power, he could not stop his steps.

Those who work in the financial circle—who among them isn't a shrewd fox? It’s just bowing one’s head and admitting a mistake; they were just getting to know each other through conflict.

The role played by the Blue Sky Fund in this was somewhat dishonorable. They intended to trap Qianpu, not only profiting from the stock market but also gaining some benefits from their cooperation with Changteng.

Moreover, the material of that robe was highly unusual, capable of concealing one's aura, making it a rare treasure for stealth and concealment.
