"Who did this? Who dares move against my Yu Cheng Shen Industrial Group? Who intends to absorb our company?" Gao Liang's voice shook Xue Bi so profoundly that her body trembled and her complexion paled. "Xue Bi! Hu Bao Group holds the leading position among all enterprises in Hanhai City and is the most favored by the Hanhai municipal government. Backed by government support, their business operations and projects have progressed more smoothly than ours. Under continuous government investment, their industrial scale has now doubled ours. In the sales of silk lingerie, they have already reached three times our volume..." Xue Bi spoke in a quiet, subdued tone.
Highlighted his golden fist tightly. Snow Sprite noticed the wise gaze in Gao Liang's eyes, tinged with an unyielding spirit—she knew Gao Liang was about to make a significant move. "Snow Sprite! Please bring over one product from our competitors, Hubei-Bao Group, and one from our own company, so we can compare them side by side," Gao Liang said.
"Exactly!" Gao Liang finally snapped back to attention. He and his first wife, Zhang Yупing, his second wife, Dong Jiao, and his third wife, Chen Yuting, had all been transported to the Tang Dynasty, where they had commissioned Wu Zetian to produce 100,000 hand-embroidered pieces. These hand-embroidered items had then traveled through time to the modern era, undergoing personalized production and earning widespread acclaim. Now that this distinctive product line had disappeared, sales were gradually declining. "Great! We can improve our products! I believe our products are the best! As long as I want to, as long as I put in the effort—then we will be kings!" Gao Liang's confident voice reached Xue Bi, who felt a rising sense of hope for victory. Gao Liang's boardroom was spacious, though he hadn't lived there for the past six months. The entire office had been meticulously cleaned and remained spotless and fresh. Gao Liang sat down comfortably on the soft sofa, while Xue Bi personally served him a cup of tea.
As Gaoang took the tea, he accidentally caught sight of the tall, graceful white rabbit on Xuebi’s chest—her skin was exceptionally well-maintained. "Stagnant as jade," Gaoang quickly recalled the idiom. Indeed, Xuebi’s figure was outstanding—her measurements perfectly balanced, with a beautifully forward-curving and rounded posture that made Gaoang’s eyes momentarily lose focus. He’d always found it difficult to be captivated by ordinary beauties, but seeing Xuebi stirred something in him—something lively and eager.
The name "Xuebi" was truly special—cool, refreshing, invigorating. "Only with you does life truly come alive," Gaoang thought instantly, recalling the advertising slogan of the Xuebi beverage company. Yet here, Xuebi wasn’t just a brand—she was a person, a beautiful woman.
Her fresh, clear appearance was exactly what Gaoang admired—her bright eyes resembled a glass of fresh Xuebi drink. Her fingers were long and elegant, and the red nail polish on her fingertips particularly caught Gaoang’s attention.
Gao Liang noticed that Xue Bi's hands were pale and delicate, small and graceful, and instinctively grasped them, pulling her to sit on his sofa. Xue Bi blushed slightly. The two sat close together, and due to the close proximity, Gao Liang could feel Xue Bi's heart beating rapidly. Goodness, this beautiful woman was so nervous—was she starting to feel something for me? If so, it must be the charm of an experienced, refined man like me. While feeling particularly pleased with himself, Xue Bi suddenly stood up and said to Gao Liang, "Oh! Unfortunately, it's now nearly time for the end of the workday. I have to personally go to the plant to issue tomorrow's production tasks!" As she was about to leave, Gao Liang reached out and gently held her hand, then whispered into her ear, "Xue Bi, don't go! Stay with me!" He then reached to embrace her, but Xue Bi firmly pulled away, saying, "No! General Gao! I really have to leave now!"
"说完, he dashed off quickly. High Light watched Snow Sprite's swaying figure and thought: "This woman is great! She's really dedicated to her work. I'm confident that I can continue to serve as the behind-the-scenes manager. However, for the future of my Yùchéng Group, I must improve the quality of our products—our key selling points. Our products need to be updated, upgraded, and aligned with today's consumers' fashion trends. High Light believed that always thinking from the consumer's perspective is never wrong. By integrating his own design concepts and overlaying them with consumers' psychological needs, he could achieve true commercial success. Back at his home, he hadn't even reached the door when he heard a voice saying, 'Dad! Mom! Don't worry—High Light is fine! I'm sure he'll be back soon!' It was Ying'er's voice. High Light was delighted and immediately called out, 'Ying'er! I'm back!' 'Wow! Is that Liang'er? Oh! It's Liang'er!'
"Really back! My son, Liang, is back!" Shen Hengfu danced and waved excitedly. High Zhongming too was delighted to see his son return. He beamed at his son and said, "Today on my way, I picked up 1,000 yuan—never have I picked up money before. I thought my luck must be extraordinary today! Turns out, it's because my son has come back! Haha! It seems that with my son back, our family is now truly flourishing." High Liang noticed a few strands of silver hair on his parents' heads, observed that his mother's fish-mouth wrinkles were becoming more numerous, and noticed his father, High Zhongming, had a slight cough. He realized his parents were still working hard, which surprised him deeply. His company, Wuyi Shen Group, has achieved 1 billion U.S. dollars in profit over the past six months—his parents should have no worries about food or clothing. Yet, they still work so diligently. When he learned that both parents were always busy and that his father had even opened a jewelry and precious metal processing plant, he was truly astonished. It turned out that his parents had always been people who never rested.
Highlight noticed a very beautiful item hanging on Ying'er's neck—a butterfly-shaped hairpin. However, this butterfly hairpin was crafted from precious stones, exquisitely detailed, and set with four diamonds, making it particularly elegant. On the hairpin, there was also a blue flower, which was especially charming.
"Excellent! Dad, Mom! You've done a wonderful job!" Highlight enthusiastically affirmed.
A sudden inspiration struck him, and he immediately exclaimed, "Got it! Our product at Yu Chengshen Group is now ready!"
"What? What do you mean?" His parents asked in unison.
Highlight smiled mysteriously and said, "Confidential!"
Then, he pulled Ying'er toward his room.
Behind them, Father Gao Zhongming whispered, "My son now only sees his wife—what he says to her is all he truly values!"
Mother Shen Hanyu gently pushed his nose and said, "What do you know? This is wonderful! Now, my son finally has someone to guide him!"
The scene shifts to the room shared by Gao Liang and Ying Er. The setting is warm and cozy; Gao Liang's home has remained largely unchanged, despite its wealth. His parents, accustomed to frugality, have chosen to renovate rather than demolish the original house. Upon returning from the U.S. branch of Longfeng Hall, Ying Er brought with her valuable insights and experiences, aiming to develop and strengthen the headquarters of Longfeng Hall in China. Since returning to Hanhai, Ying Er has deeply missed Gao Liang's home—the very nest they shared. As a thoughtful and meticulous beauty, Ying Er has carefully arranged every detail of the room. When Gao Liang enters, he is struck by how different it is from the room he once knew—now, it feels as though he has stepped into a fairyland. The room is no longer the same as it once was. Gao Liang now feels as though he has entered a realm of human enchantment. At this moment, the fragrance of peach blossoms fills the air, and Gao Liang seems to have stepped into a peach orchard.
