Sheraton Hotel, Yanjing, Jingxi District.

After Baimu Pharmaceutical was established, Cheng Yishi, who was devoted to martial arts, had to go out for a while because he stayed at home.

Since meeting Li Mu and merging with Li's company, he has lost interest in doing business.

Especially after taking the Breakthrough Pill given to him by Li Mu and becoming a martial artist, he became obsessed with martial arts and stayed in the ancestral land to cultivate.

All business matters fell to his elder brother and several uncles, and he directly relinquished his status as a business prodigy.

The reason I went out this time was entirely because of Li Mu and the newly established pharmaceutical company.

He came to the Beijing Food and Drug Administration to handle a series of procedures, including prescription registration, clinical trial registration, and drug production license.

As a renowned business elite, if he couldn't even run a pharmaceutical company, then he wouldn't deserve to be called a prodigy.

Currently, due to some special reasons, the Chen family, one of the top families in Yanjing, is in decline, while the status of the Cheng family in Xishan has risen instead of fallen.

His business in Yanjing is progressing smoothly; it just needs time to go through the formalities.

Li Mu had repeatedly emphasized to his two brothers that he was running a pharmaceutical company not to make money, but to obtain cultivation resources.

Cultivation resources include spirit stones, rare medicinal herbs and minerals, as well as rare and precious materials; all of these must be collected.

It just so happens that there's an auction at the hotel where he's staying these next couple of days, and one of the items up for auction is a piece of meteorite ore.

After he sent the picture to Li Mu, Li Mu immediately decided to come over.

At this moment, he had already booked a room for Li Mu at the hotel and was waiting for Li Mu to arrive.

.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

Cheng had only rested for less than twenty minutes when the doorbell rang.

He thought it was room service, but to his surprise, standing outside the door were Li Mu and Lin Hongluan.

"Uh... how come you guys got here so quickly!"

Cheng glanced at his watch and then at his phone, confirming that the call had ended at 2:15, and it was only 2:37 now.

Suddenly, I felt like my brain couldn't process it all. No matter what, it shouldn't take twenty minutes to get from Haojing to Yanjing.

If Li Mu boarded the plane in advance last time when he traveled from Jiangcheng to Gaojing, it would be impossible for him to buy a ticket in advance this time.

He had made the call just twenty minutes ago, and he could even hear Liang Xiao's voice.

"Isn't that surprising? Don't worry about the details."

Looking at Cheng Yishi's puzzled expression, Li Mu advised him to do good and not to pry.

With his current cultivation level, he can travel on his flying sword in twenty minutes, which is enough for him to make a round trip.

He wouldn't tell Cheng Yishi that Lin Hongluan was delayed for a few minutes because she was cleaning out her personal belongings in the villa.

Seeing Cheng Yishi's disbelieving expression, Lin Hongluan burst out laughing upon hearing Li Mu's words.

He thought to himself, with the flying sword, China Express Airlines probably won't be able to make money from them for the rest of their lives.

After receiving the room key, Li Mu instructed Cheng Yi to inquire about the address of the Chen family in Yanjing before turning and going to his room.

Now that we're here, we still need to visit the Chen family in Yanjing. No matter what, we need to settle things once and for all.

The auction is scheduled to start tomorrow, and the reason he came a day early is also for this matter.

Some might say that Li Mu has reached a certain level of success and should be more magnanimous, no longer making things difficult for these worldly families.

It's important to understand that once a dog has bitten someone, even if it's tamed, it will eventually bite again.

The Chen family of Yanjing is a venomous snake, more ruthless than a dog. If you are bitten by them, you will either lose your life or be severely injured.

To reiterate, if Tu Laodao hadn't come and injured Li Hongjun along the way, Li Mu might have let it go. But now, there's absolutely no way he'd let it go.

.

Around 6 p.m., Cheng Yi knocked on Li Mu's door. It was dinnertime.

In the hotel restaurant, the three of them opened a bottle of Moutai and a bottle of red wine, and chatted while drinking.

Cheng Yishi had already found out the address of the Chen family in Yanjing. Li Mu listened to it once, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

After dinner, Cheng suggested going to a bar to relax, and Li Mu glanced at Lin Hongluan and agreed.

After transmigrating, he never went to dance halls, bars, or KTVs, living a life completely unlike that of a young person.

Even if I never go there for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter. The reason I glanced at Lin Hongluan was to see if she was interested in entertainment venues.

Seeing that Lin Hongluan did not shake her head, he felt that it wouldn't hurt to go, just like Cheng Yishi said, he would treat it as a way to let loose.

Another point is that ever since Lin Hongluan accepted him, she has been doing things based on Li Mu's ideas, which has deviated from her usual lifestyle.

Her performance was neither good nor bad.

After all, it's easy to lose yourself when your lifestyle changes.

If Lin Hongluan were to lose herself and her own opinions, she would no longer be Lin Hongluan.

Cheng took them to a bar on the west side of the Workers' Stadium, Tang Hui Bar Club.

The operating area is quite large, with the entire bar exceeding two thousand square meters.

There is a huge bar in the main hall, with booths arranged in a staggered pattern outside the bar, and many private rooms behind it.

They thought Cheng Yishi would take them to a private room, but instead he slipped a tip of several hundred yuan to the waiter and asked for a booth.

"Instead of going to a private room after arriving at a bar, it's better to go straight to a karaoke bar. The booths have a much better atmosphere."

Li Mu didn't care at first, but after hearing Cheng Yi's words, he felt that this idiot made a lot of sense.

.

Before the three of them could even sit down, Cheng Yi snapped his fingers at the air, and two waiters immediately came over.

A few bottles of liquor and three cocktails were brought over shortly after, followed by a fruit platter and some snacks.

The three of them listened to the unique music in the bar, as well as the DJ's occasional cymbals and shouts, and began to drink and chat.

With Cheng Yishi around, cracking jokes every now and then, combined with the atmosphere of the bar, it really made people relax a lot.

Lin Hongluan, in particular, was often amused by Cheng Yishi's fallacies and heresies.

Cheng Yishi watched the beautiful Lin Hongluan laughing uncontrollably and felt quite regretful, saying that he should have taken the two of them to listen to a crosstalk performance.

When the topic turned to crosstalk, he casually quoted a short skit by Guo Degang.

"Moonlight shines before my bed, two pairs of shoes lie on the ground. Who is this rogue? It's Guo Degang."

Lin Hongluan burst out laughing at this little joke.

The conversation went on and on, and they drank more and more. It was past nine o'clock when Li Mu started to wonder if he should go to the Chen family to collect the debt.

At this moment, Cheng got up and went to the restroom.

More than ten minutes later, Li Mu noticed that Cheng Yi had not returned yet. He habitually scanned the area with his divine sense and found that the guy was talking to someone at the bathroom door.

He was bald, with a dark face, and looked very angry.

A short while later, Cheng Yishi returned, and the person he had been talking to also came over.

"Hey beautiful, how about we go somewhere else for drinks? My bag's over there."

The guy who followed me over immediately started staring intently at Lin Hongluan, showing no sign of restraint.

He had the arrogant attitude of being the most important person in the world and the second most important person in the world.

Upon hearing this guy speak, Cheng Yishi's face turned ashen, and he cursed:

"Li Qiyuan, are you fucking never going to stop? Believe me or not, I'll slap you."

"Come on, Cheng Lao Er, try drawing one. Others may fear your Cheng family of Xishan, but my Li family of Yanjing does not."

"Smack!"

Before Li Qiyuan could finish speaking, he was slapped so hard he spun around three times, spitting out a mouthful of teeth.

The music in the bar paused at the opportune moment, and then a voice, though not loud, resonated in everyone's ears like a great bell.

"I'm targeting the Li family of Yanjing."
