He did not ask much about what his son was doing on the hill. He only helped his son take care of the herbal field and trees when he was out.

Wang Yao and Tong Wei had already left. They were on the highway around 8 a.m.

They arrived in Dao after than three hours. They first looked for a place to have lunch. Then, they went to Tong Wei’s residence and rested for a bit. In the afternoon, Wang Yao drove Tong Wei to her company.

“Why don’t you stay here today?”

“Okay.” He had planned to stay here for a day when he came.

…

Tong Wei’s superior supervisor seemed anxious.

“Gosh, you’re finally back,” the glamorous lady in her 30s said while taking Tong Wei’s hand.

“Manager An, what’s wrong? Why so anxious?”

“We’ve recently gotten in touch with a major client, which is Wu Group in Hu. They named you as the person responsible for negotiating the cooperation.”

“Wu Group? Me?” Tong Wei was startled.

“Yeah.”

“Who’s the person in-charge on their side?” Tong Wei asked

“It hasn’t been confirmed yet. They said that he’ll be here tomorrow.”

“Okay. I’ll meet him then,” Tong Wei replied calmly.

Ever since her relationship with Wang Yao had gone a step further, she did not know why, but she did not value her job as much as she used to.

During her dinner with Wang Yao that night, she told him about the matter.

“Wu Group in Hu?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yeah. Why, do you know them?”

“No. I thought of someone,” Wang Yao replied.

“Wu Yueran?” Tong Wei was also a very smart girl. After hearing what Wang Yao said, she immediately thought of the dandy who had started pestering her in France. He happened to be in Hu.

“Yeah. It’s highly possible. Otherwise, why would the other party name you as the person responsible for the negotiation?” Wand Yao asked.

“I’ll reject it then,” Tong Wei said.

“Don’t. That’ll show that we’re petty. Meet him first and see how it goes. What if it isn’t him?” Wang Yao answered.

It looked like someone had come to understand it. He probably wanted to take the opportunity to approach Tong Wei.

The next day, Tong Wei met the representative from Wu Group.

“Hello, Miss Tong. We meet again!” Wu Yueran was dressed in a suit with a smug smile on his face.

“It’s really you!” Tong Wei did not give him a good look.

“Do you guys know each other?” Manager An asked curiously.

“We don’t just know each other. Miss Tong and I are quite fated. We were an item when we were in France,” Wu Yueran said.

“Mr. Wu, please be careful about your use of words. I’ve only seen you before, and we’ve spoken to each other. There’s nothing more,” Tong Wei responded aloofly.

“Come, let’s sit down and talk.” Manager An hurriedly said with a smile upon seeing the situation. He was a major client. The higher-ups had specially notified them to try to secure the client.

“We haven’t seen each other for a few days, and Miss Tong has become prettier. You really make my heart skip a beat!” Wu Yueran exclaimed with a smile. He was somewhat blatant.

“Thank you. My boyfriend is at home these days, so I’m in a very good mood,” Tong Wei replied.

Manager An thought to herself, What’s going on?

Wu Yueran still had an illusion about Tong Wei. Through the cooperation this time, he wanted to create an opportunity for them to be together and show her his ability.

However, the conversation that followed made him choke with anger. She was too haughty. She was even more aloof than when they were in France.

“Looks like Miss Tong isn’t very interested in the cooperation between the two companies this time,” Wu Yueran said.

“Mr. Wu’s business ability is questionable too,” Tong Wei replied without a care.

“What?”

It was not just Wu Yueran but also Manager An who was dumbfounded.

What was that attitude?

Both parties parted on somewhat bad terms after the negotiation.

“Tong Wei, what’s wrong with you today?”

Manager An was surprised by the abnormal reaction of her competent staff. In the past, she would not have behaved this way, even when she encountered nastier clients.

“He began pestering me when we were in France. He’s very annoying.”

“Oh, no wonder,” Manager An roughly understood the reason for Tong Wei’s abnormal reaction. However, the negotiation of the huge business of the company had to be continued. Otherwise, how could she explain it to her higher-ups?

In the afternoon, Wang Yao waited outside of Tong Wei’s company. Then, he saw the peculiar Mr. Wu. He was still holding a bouquet of red roses in his hands.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. He’s really persistent.”

He walked toward Mr. Wu with a smile.

“Hello, Mr. Wu.”

“It’s you!” A tiny flame appeared in Wu Yueran’s eyes after he saw Wang Yao. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

“Really? I don’t like roses though,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

“You…”

“Has your illness been cured?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes. I’m very well,” Wu Yueran answered while gritting his teeth. “How dare you lie to me?”

“I was speaking the truth, Mr. Wu. You’re indeed ill. You’re very ill.”

“Damn it. Shut up! I went to six hospitals for examinations and the results were all the same. There’s no problem at all!” Wu Yueran was full of rage when the matter was brought up. He was conceited and clever, but he did not expect that he would actually be deceived by the guy who seemed kind in front of him. He had only deceived others. He never once thought that he would be deceived by others.

“Six hospitals? I don’t think these hospitals are of standard,” Wang Yao said.

“They’re the top three hospitals, you liar,” Wu Yueran said.

“They’re wrong. I can tell you with certainty,” Wang Yao replied seriously.

“You… Okay. Just you wait. I’ll kill you!” Wu Yueran threatened him openly.

“Why, is this considered as a threat?” Wang Yao asked.

“It’s up to you to comprehend,” Wu Yueran said.

Just as they were talking, Tong Wei came out of the building.

“Tong Wei, this is for you.” Wu Yueran first went to her and gave her a bouquet of delicate roses.

Tong Wei did not even look at him. She went straight toward Wang Yao’s side and asked him softly, “Have you waited for a long time?”

“No. I chatted with Mr. Wu just now,” Wang Yao said.

“What are we having for dinner?” she asked.

“Anything will do,” Wang Yao said.

The two of them left hand in hand affectionately.

“You guys. There’s a limit to humans’ patience!” Wu Yueran clenched his fist. Then, he threw the roses onto the ground fiercely and stepped on them with his feet.

Some people who came out of the company looked at him curiously. It was as if they were looking at a fool.

“Did Wu Yueran do it?” Wang Yao asked.

After returning home, Tong Wei told Wang Yao about her company matters. She did not have a favorable impression toward Wu Yueran.

“Why don’t I resign and go back to Haiqu?” This was the first time that Tong Wei had thought of resigning because of Wang Yao.

“That works too. Think it over again.”

After all, it was not possible for the both of them to be separated from each other for a long time. However, Wang Yao did not want to force Tong Wei too much. It was still dependent on her opinion.

…

In a very stylish club.

As the most developed coastal city in Qi Province, the nightlife in Dao was vibrant.

“Mr. Wu, are you kidding?”

“Do you think I look like I’m kidding?” Wu Yueran said.

“There are two points. Firstly, this is illegal. Secondly, this is Dao not Hu.”

“Ha, ha. First, you’ve done a lot of things like these. That’s why I’ve looked for you. Second, I’ve looked for you just because this is Dao. One with great power cannot defeat a local villain,” Wu Yueran said.

“What about the money?”

“It’s negotiable,” Wu Yueran said.

“Okay. Is he in Dao?”

“He is, but I’m not sure about when he’s leaving,” Wu Yueran said.

“No problem.”

Wang Yao decided to stay in Dao for a few more days. He would leave after the trouble created by Wu Yueran was completely resolved. Otherwise, it would be dangerous for Tong Wei to be alone.

Why don’t I make him retreat in the face of difficulties?

There were two means to make him retreat in the face of difficulties. First, he could use the pharmaceutical technology he had mastered to make him suffer from a horrifying illness. Wang Yao already knew this aspect very well and could handle it with ease. After all, he had just experimented it in Lianshan County. Those few people became docile and obedient after being punished by him. Second, he could use the power of others. It happened to be Dao. He could use Sun Zhengrong’s power. After all, he was almighty in Dao.

After serving the breakfast prepared for Wang Yao on the table, Tong Wei, who was dressed in family wear, asked with a smile, “What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing,” Wang Yao replied.

“What are you looking at?” she asked.

“I’m looking at a beauty,” he said.

“You’re naughty. Let’s eat.”

Wang Yao drove Tong Wei to work after breakfast.

“Will you be bored when you’re alone at home?” she asked.

“Umm, I think so. I’ve decided to go out for a stroll,” he replied.

“Great. I’m off duty in the afternoon. I’ll keep you company,” she said.

As he drove back from Tong Wei’s company and got out of the car, he discovered that there were a few people in the area.

Huh?

Looking at the gazes of the people, Wang Yao knew they were most likely coming for him.
