The hour of You has long passed, and it has reached the hour of Xu...
The hour of Xu also slowly passed amidst everyone's unbearable agony.
It reached the hour of Hai.
Finally, Wei Xubing stood up.
He said to the crowd painfully curled up beside the table, "Everyone can go for a stroll inside the Lamp Flower Tower."
"Just make sure not to disturb the second floor and keep quiet."
Human words!
Finally hearing human words!
People have three urgent needs.
This is the most unbearable urgency!
...
Yuchi, surname Wei, given name Chi, courtesy name Bladder Slayer.
...
Changsun Mei let out a long sigh, "This scoundrel nearly killed us."
She glanced again at the heart-wrenchingly slow movements of the people around her.
She... was the same.
Everyone dared not take big steps.
It was painfully sharp.
"He told me earlier, saying it would only take about an hour."
"It's been two hours by now."
She pursed her lips again, carefully trying to call out "two," accompanied by some girlish murmurs.
She smiled bitterly in pain.
"What exactly does he intend to do?"
"Can he really achieve anything this way?"
"Then he must be too terrifying."
"How old is he anyway?"
...
"Dad, do you need me to help you?" Wei Zhe frowned, sweat dripping from his nose.
"No rush, let them go first, I'll be last."
Wei Fei was still Wei Fei, truly a man floating among the flowers; he hadn't drunk tea from the start.
Now he felt pretty good.
He glanced at his father's distressed expression, then without hesitation supported his father, running swiftly.
Amidst the crowd's despair, the old man was directly stuffed into the bathroom at the back.
"..."
"Second son, raising you wasn't in vain!" Wei Xubing said with tears streaming down his face.
And then exclaimed,
"Third son, what do you plan to do!"
A stick of incense later.
Everyone sat down contentedly and began picking up their chopsticks again.
No one would believe it.
This meal took two hours and still wasn't over, and they got hungry halfway through!
Truly baffling.
...
On the street.
"Oh my heavens!"
"Did they die in there?"
"Haha!"
Someone started yawning.
Heavens, is there really anyone who isn't satisfied with eating for two hours?
Ladies and gentlemen.
You still have to work tomorrow!
Are you dead or alive, give us a clear word!
...
Finally.
It reached the hour of Zi.
The door to the second floor opened, and the exhausted shopkeeper suddenly noticed.
"Is it over?"
He was stunned for a moment.
Can he afford to freeze like this?
Immediately clapped his hands, and the accountants in the kitchen woke up startled, bringing the food out quickly.
Then, amidst everyone's amazement, dish after dish was brought up!
The shopkeeper was delighted!
The family was delighted!
The Twelve Linked Huts were delighted.
The yamen people were even more delighted.
Everyone was delighted!
No one expected that this group of venerable gentlemen on the second floor having a meal would make everyone so happy.
Looking at each other's grimy faces, they laughed despite the tears, feeling a bit of mutual sympathy.
Indeed.
What's the fight for?
Everyone's just doing business, why put on airs.
Meanwhile on the second floor.
Six people disliked the size of the table, moved it aside, and actually sat on the floor to eat.
Just like beggars.
But the excited smiles on their faces were unbeatable.
When the shopkeeper walked in with the food, he was dumbfounded.
Had their relationships reached this point?
They didn't care about their dignity in front of others; they were actually sitting on the floor?
Alas!
The six were each holding a rice bowl, eating while chatting and laughing.
They looked even closer than kin!
Unbelievable!
"So what exactly did Yuchi do!?" After the ten perfect dishes were served, the shopkeeper closed the door.
He walked down the corridor, looking back three times with each step.
His head simply couldn't process the situation on site.
He thought he must be seeing things!
Had this group of old misers reconciled?
This…
Why!
...
How did Yuchi achieve this?
He felt that anyone who had suffered the beatings of their past life would be able to accomplish this.
It's not difficult.
Twelve businesses founded and twelve failures, crushed under the iron hoof of capital, endlessly summarizing only to finally gain experience?
Had he read too few corporate strategies or disputes between nations in various documents?
He probably spent a lot getting conned by many open course fraudsters.
Modern people are not just educated, even being learned in tons is an understatement.
And he couldn't handle these people?
Impossible.
Within five minutes of the opening, Yuchi had already grasped these five guys' thoughts.
He didn't condescend to intimidate with sects or cultivators.
Throwing out various professional terms rendered everyone dumbfounded, casting big dreams and various plans.
Then analyzing the problems faced by the opposite families.
If it weren't for the fact that you can't acknowledge someone as your father.
He would've acknowledged him decisively.
As a grandpa from a previous life might say, "Whoa, this young man!"
The ultimate outcome was obvious.
Under a stack of thick contracts on the table, the Xufu Town United Commerce Association was established, with Yuchi elected as the president.
At the same time, the business for the Immortal Robe Pavilion was formally placed on the agenda.
Before the end of the year, there would be a grand clothing event, marking the debut of the Immortal Robe Pavilion.
More details weren't necessary; Yuchi actively served the woman next to him with dishes.
This was the Patriarch of the Bai Family.
Bai Rou.
Bai Rou with her myriad charms.
The ever-sophisticated her softly asked a question, "President, how do you find my daughter? Can she attend to you throughout the night?"
Yuchi was startled.
Why did this matter suddenly take this turn?
And how so?
Sister, you already have someone, don't mess around!
Truly speaking, a woman like Bai Rou was extremely alluring.
Her stature was also quite impressive, who knows what she usually ate.
So exaggerated.
Looking thirty or forty, yet still looking like a young girl, even with a touch of worldly fantasy.
"It's my daughter, not me. Is the President also interested in me?"
Cheeks flushed, Bai Rou smiled brightly, "It's not impossible."
"I know a bit more about the matters between men and women compared to my daughter, and I can provide guidance face-to-face."
"What's your opinion, President?"
The other four burst out laughing.
Young man, playing quite skillfully.
Yuchi was instantly embarrassed.
So "my daughter" referred to Bai Rou's daughter, he thought it was Bai Rou herself.
But since Bai Rou is so charming, who knows what her daughter is like, she must be quite something.
Otherwise, should he really get involved with the Bai Family?
Or perhaps establish marriage ties with all five major families simultaneously?
That would make the five great families closer.
It's quite good, without the need to confront each other with swords.
All are civilized, all part of one family, why the fighting?
It's not like they're cultivators.
Cultivators: Thanks again for the insult.
In ancient times, many princesses married far away to stabilize the situation.
But for Yuchi, it's unnecessary.
Now with the commerce association, many things become much easier.
He needed the income to support his sect.
Inside the sect, there were two young maidens waiting to be nurtured.
If he ended up with wives from five major families, who knows how high the expenses would be.
If Shen Qinghan and Xu Feiling heard Yuchi's thoughts, they might be moved to tears.
This is the hardworking Sect Leader!
Even now, thinking about the sect! If they don't cultivate well, it would be unworthy of his selfless dedication!
