The formalities still had to be followed. He Haisheng introduced everyone in the private room to Tang Xiaoxiao one by one, and Tang Xiaoxiao finally understood what this group of people represented.

There's the son of the mayor of City A, the grandson of the top military commander of Province L, and even the one with the worst family background is a rich second-generation heir whose family owns several mines.

That guy named Li Mu, his father is a real estate tycoon, and the neighborhood where his sister Tang Xinxin lives was developed by his family.

Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh that she had been too narrow-minded before, feeling content with making a little money, not realizing that the road ahead was long and arduous.

Moreover, although these people called themselves spoiled rich kids who just wanted to live off others, none of them were actually truly ignorant and incompetent.

The women in the private room were all brought by them. He Haisheng didn't introduce them to Tang Xiaoxiao, who actually suspected that He Haisheng didn't even know their names. The women were well aware of their roles and didn't cause any trouble. Instead, they sat there obediently, smiling, quietly playing the role of decorative objects.

Everyone was very curious about Tang Xiaoxiao, inquiring whether she was truly as skilled as He Haisheng claimed, and how the two knew each other. Tang Xiaoxiao answered fluently and confidently, quickly winning over the seemingly unassuming but actually arrogant second-generation rich kids. Although these people usually appeared carefree and cynical, seemingly innocent and naive, they had grown up in powerful circles and had seen all sorts of strange and treacherous things. They could easily discern whether Tang Xiaoxiao harbored any hidden malice.

After chatting for a while, the way they addressed her changed from the polite "Miss Tang" to "Xiaoxiao".

Although what Tang Xiaoxiao had managed to do was nothing compared to the families of the others, they admired her for starting from scratch without any background.

Moreover, Tang Xiaoxiao is the boss herself, and she has absolute control over all her businesses, something they can only dream of. The people in the private room still have to ask their families for money. No matter how large their families are, they don't all belong to them.

If we're talking about who they are, they're all poor compared to Tang Xiaoxiao right now...

The second-generation rich kids who receive pocket money every month shed two wide tears in their hearts.

In particular, everyone is inseparable from food. After learning that the vegetables in the restaurants under the He family were supplied by Tang Xiaoxiao, and that "Xiaoxiao Fine Fruits and Vegetables" was also hers, everyone became noticeably more enthusiastic.

Several people also said that their whole family always buys fruit from "Xiaoxiao Fine Fruits and Vegetables", and since they bought fruit from her store, they can no longer eat anything from other stores.

Now that the topic has come up, Tang Xiaoxiao no longer holds back and says that her family's planting base is not far from the town, and if they want, they can go to Houtang Village to pick the freshest produce themselves.

She doesn't offer self-picking services to outsiders, but we're all friends now.

This made everyone's hearts flutter.

He Haisheng deliberately said, "Boss, you're not being fair. We've known each other for so long, and you've never invited me to your house."

"Don't you understand? You're not welcome. Don't come here again!" Tang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.

Of course, what they were most interested in was Tang Xiaoxiao's fighting skills.

As the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, everyone clamored for Tang Xiaoxiao to show off her skills. Tang Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate, so He Haisheng was forced to be the punching bag and fell to the ground after Tang Xiaoxiao executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.

Li Mu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but shudder when he saw this scene.

Sitting next to him, Xiang Qifeng patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

As it grew late, Tang Xiaoxiao got up to say goodbye. The others didn't try to stop her; they often had these kinds of private gatherings, catching up on each other's lives and playing games—no one ever went too far. After that night, Tang Xiaoxiao felt accepted by their little group. When they saw her off, Li Mu looked conflicted. Tang Xiaoxiao noticed this, walked directly beside him, flashing her bright white teeth, and said, "You're welcome to come to my house sometime, but," she gave a mischievous smile, "I don't like men who can't beat me."

This is absolutely devastating.

Li Mu's face showed an expression of utter despair.

Having had a good time being mischievous, Tang Xiaoxiao scurried away in her high heels.

Walking behind him, Xiang Qifeng and He Haisheng, who had heard Tang Xiaoxiao's two sentences very clearly, put their arms around his arms on either side: "Come on, brother, let's go for a drink."

"Okay, let's drink... We're not leaving until we're drunk tonight! I'm heartbroken, sob sob..."

Seeing him like this, the two of them finally felt relieved and, with a hearty laugh, they walked away together.

When Tang Xiaoxiao got home, she first went into her space to check on the two kittens. The flow of time in the space was different from that in the outside world. One day in reality was equivalent to several months in the space. She was worried that it might affect the kittens' growth, but when she thought that the chickens she raised in the space did not show signs of premature aging, she felt relieved.

Indeed, it had no effect whatsoever. The time acceleration within the space seemed to only affect plants, having no effect on animals or humans. The two little creatures adapted well, quickly becoming lively and affectionate. Every time Tang Xiaoxiao entered the space, they would scramble to climb onto her, displaying a fierce competition for her attention.

The two little ones hadn't grown up yet, and Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't tell their breed, so she just gave them random names: Xiaoxiao and Qiqi, which were homophones of her and Han Yunqi's names, and they sounded very festive.
