"Now I've taken a liking to Mr. Zhou's business acumen and would like to purchase him for 30 million. I wonder if Mr. Zhou would be willing?"

Zhou Xianshan stood there, sweat pouring down his face, unsure how to respond.

"I'll give you five minutes to think it over. If you're willing, I'll transfer the money to you now. If you're not, you can leave at any time within five minutes." After saying that, Shen Lang went back to playing on his phone and stopped looking at Zhou Xianshan.

The weather in City X in May was already hot, but Shen Lang's villa, being located on a mountain and due to the building materials, felt cool and refreshing.

At this moment, Zhou Xianshan was like an ant on a hot pan. He desperately wanted to escape from this pot, but outside was an abyss staring at him.

He understood his current situation. If he agreed to Shen Lang's offer, he would be like a useless person without his business talent. The Eurasia Group would soon discover his shortcomings and ruthlessly kick him out. He would no longer be able to enjoy his current relatively luxurious life.

The shock of falling from high society to the lower class was something he couldn't accept for a while.

However, if he disagrees, he will face more than 10 years in prison, as well as huge sums of money in compensation and penalties, which would not be enough even if he sold his villa and car.

He didn't have the courage to make a deal with the seemingly harmless, handsome young man in front of him, because the man seemed like a demon staring at him.

Shen Lang glanced at the time and said, "Mr. Zhou, you have two minutes to consider. After two minutes, you will permanently lose the opportunity to do business with me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianshan suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and he excitedly asked, "Then can I buy back my talent in the future?"

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "Of course. If President Zhou can afford the price, I can also provide you with even better business acumen."

Zhou Xianshan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Mr. Shen, I agree."

“President Zhou is a smart man.” Shen Lang smiled, took out the contract, stepped forward and handed it to Zhou Xianshan, saying, “Since President Zhou has made up his mind, then put your bloody handprint on your name.”

Zhou Xianshan held the contract, looking at its simple yet weighty contents. Without hesitation, he bit his finger and pressed his fingerprint onto his name.

After putting away the contract, Shen Lang said, "Mr. Zhou, let me take a look at your bank card information."

The moment Zhou Xianshan signed the contract, the 30 million yuan was transferred to Zhou Xianshan's bank card through the little elf's operation.

When Zhou Xianshan saw the text message notification that the money had been credited to his account, he felt relieved.

"Thank you, Boss Shen," Zhou Xianshan said excitedly.

Shen Lang waved his hand: "No need to be so polite, our transaction is just a business deal. But Mr. Zhou, please remember to keep our transaction confidential!"

At this point, Shen Lang's voice was as cold as an ice cave as he said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianshan's excited mood instantly calmed down, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Dongxue, see the guest out," Shen Lang said calmly.

Then Dongxue, who had been guarding outside the door, came in and took Zhou Xianshan out.

The little sprite flew to Shen Lang's side and chuckled, "Master, you're really showing more and more of a shrewd businessman's potential."

Shen Lang asked with a smile, "Do I?"

"have!"

"Congratulations, Master, on completing a transaction with a purple-talented trader. The system rewards you with one transaction coin."

"Oh? So that means I have 5 trading coins now?" Shen Lang said, sounding slightly excited.

"Yes, Master." The little elf nodded and said, "When Master makes a deal with a purple-talented trader, the system will reward you with an extra trade coin and experience. When Master makes a deal with an orange-talented trader, the system will reward you with an extra two trade coins and experience. If Master makes a deal with a red-talented trader, then Master will receive an extra five trade coins and experience."

"Is there anything with a higher talent than red?" Shen Lang asked.

The little elf shook its head and said, "Without a master, at least not in this world. Perhaps it will appear in the cultivation world later. However, talents above the red level are as rare as Yu Xian'er in the cultivation world, appearing only once every ten thousand years."

"Alright then." Shen Lang stopped dwelling on the matter.

He then opened the system shop and redeemed the Marrow Cleansing Pill that he had been eyeing for a long time.

Looking at the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hand, which was outlined with mysterious runes and nine golden rays, Shen Lang couldn't wait to swallow it.

"Master!" The little elf hurriedly stopped him when he saw what he was doing.

"What's wrong?" Shen Lang asked, puzzled. He didn't understand why the little elf was stopping him.

"Master, taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill will be extremely painful, and it will also expel the impurities hidden within you. Therefore, I suggest you use it with caution, at least not now," the little elf said worriedly. "Moreover, the system has provided you with a divine-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill, which is countless times more painful than a regular Marrow Cleansing Pill. If you use it, you might faint from the pain. I suggest you use it in a relatively private environment."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Lang was stunned, staring at the pill in his hand and questioning, "Little guy, is this a Marrow Cleansing Pill or a Life-Saving Pill?"

The little elf said earnestly, "Master, great risks come with great rewards. As long as you take this divine-level marrow cleansing pill, your physical constitution and talent will surpass Yu Xian'er, who possesses the Nine Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart."

Shen Lang's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the saliva in his mouth.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Lang then put the Marrow Cleansing Pill into his system space and left the reception room on the fifth floor.

At this moment, the women were sitting in the restaurant, waiting for Shen Lang to come downstairs for dinner.

"Eat up, what are you standing there for?" Shen Lang urged, looking at the group of people sitting blankly at the table.

Shuang'er then came over with a warm towel and said with a smile, "How can we eat if you don't sit down, young master?"

Shen Lang took the towel and wiped his hands, then said reproachfully, "This rule doesn't apply to the house anymore. Does it mean you won't eat when I'm not around?"

"Alright, I'll listen to you, young master," Yu Xian'er said gently with a smile.

After taking their seats, Shen Lang asked Qin Shiya, "Shiya, is your car back yet?"

Qin Shiya nodded and said, "I arrived this afternoon."

“Okay, then go out tomorrow and get your household registration settled. I’ve already spoken to Officer Lin at the Lianhu branch; I’ll send you her WeChat contact in a bit. Then go pick someone up; I’ll send the information to your phone later,” Shen Lang said.

“Okay, boss,” Qin Shiya replied.

Then he said to Yu Xian'er, "Xian'er, I'm going to take a pill later, and there might be some noise. Don't panic."

Yu Xian'er nodded and asked, "Young Master, will there be any danger?"

Shen Lang shook his head and said, "No, this will be a process of my transformation, don't worry."

He then instructed Shuang'er and the Four Seasons sisters: "Don't let anyone approach the villa before I come out."

"Remember, it's anyone."

Shuang'er, abandoning her usual gentle demeanor, nodded solemnly with the Four Seasons Sisters: "Yes, young master."

"Does any of you have hacking skills?" Shen Lang asked.

Shuang'er raised her hand and said, "Young Master, I can do it! I'm a super powerful hacker."

Shen Lang gave her a questioning look, then looked at Yu Xian'er.

Yu Xian'er nodded and said, "Shuang'er is indeed a very capable computer expert."

Shen Lang laughed and said, "I didn't know you knew this trick."

Then he had Shuang'er send a text message to Lin Dantong on the computer, which read: There is a murder in the ICU of the People's Hospital tonight.

After sending the text message, Shuang'er checked the message history and asked Shen Lang, "Young Master, is it true? Why didn't you call the police?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er slammed her hand on the table and gave Shuang'er a disapproving look.

Shuang'er realized she had said the wrong thing, stuck out her tongue, put away her computer, and started eating.
