Chapter 80: Even a clay figure can be angry

After putting away her phone, Kong Xiyan's expression became more serious.

Why would this old fox with a global A-level bounty suddenly reappear after disappearing from the world for three years and personally plot to murder Zhong Qihan?

Who did the Zhong family offend?

Where has that old fox been these past three years?

"Little money-grubber." A male voice came from behind Kong Xiyan, interrupting her thoughts.

Kong Xiyan stopped and turned around to see the person behind her: "Luo Lao San?"

Kong Xiyan walked towards Luo Zhenxuan, her eyes fixed on his eyebrows.

The black air has not dissipated yet, and the signs of death are obvious.

Someone is determined to kill him.

"I've said it many times, my name is Luo Zhenxuan!" Luo Zhenxuan was speechless. Even if Kong Xiyan didn't want to call him Young Master Luo, she could just call him by his name!

Luo Laosan, Luo Laosan's...

It sounds awkward no matter how you listen to it!

"What does it matter? The name is just a code name. You can call me Kong Xiyan, Boss Kong, or even Little Money-Loving Person." Kong Xiyan spread her hands. It was just a name, why bother about it.

Luo Zhenxuan was too lazy to argue with Kong Xiyan and just asked about the follow-up treatment of the head of the Su family.

Kong Xiyan has already found an opportunity to take the pulse of the head of the Su family today.

"The old man's recovery is slower, but fortunately he is still getting better. I estimate that one more course of treatment will be enough." Kong Xiyan thought for a moment, raised her hand and patted Luo Zhenxuan's shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, we are a regular customer. I will give you a discount for the next treatment."

"Ten million." Luo Zhenxuan looked at Kong Xiyan.

"Hmm? Medical expenses?" Kong Xiyan blinked: "I don't think it will cost you..."

"Including the cost of joint treatment, I will transfer 10 million to you. I will be away for a while soon, so I will leave all of Grandpa's affairs to you."

"When do we leave?"

"Tonight."

"Must I leave?"

"I have to go."

Luo Zhenxuan's original plan was to escape as soon as he arrived in Nancheng.

Who knew that he would meet Kong Xiyan at that time, and then his grandfather was poisoned.

Any delay would affect his plans. Someone would come to pick him up tonight and everything would be back on track.

Kong Xiyan frowned slightly, her expression serious: "Don't go."

Luo Zhenxuan's death should be related to this sudden trip.

When Luo Zhenxuan met Kong Xiyan's eyes, his gaze moved slightly, and a pleasant realization emerged in his mind: this little money-grubber can't bear to leave me.

Luo Zhenxuan unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips, and then coughed lightly to hide the joy in his heart, and his voice became much gentler: "Wait for me to come back and bring you a gift."

Kong Xiyan frowned even tighter. Why is this guy so stubborn?

She was about to say something when she heard footsteps. She turned around and saw the Chu siblings walking side by side, accompanied by the staff responsible for photographing them.

"Village Chief Kong, are we disturbing you?" Chu Lizheng's gaze lingered on Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan, as if he was guessing their relationship and the identity of the unfamiliar Luo Zhenxuan.

Judging from his appearance alone, Luo Zhenxuan is definitely a talent gifted by God and can make his debut at any time with his looks.

Looking at Luo Zhenxuan's temperament and the million-dollar Patek Philippe on his wrist, Chu Lizheng felt that even if Luo Zhenxuan and Zhong Qihan were not related, they should be rich second-generations of the same level.

Chu Lizheng dislikes people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth from the bottom of his heart.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Kong Xiyan didn't have a good impression of Chu Lizheng, and her tone was rather cold.

"Village Chief Kong, my brother wants to thank you for...for saving me before." Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Kong Xiyan's bandaged hand, her voice getting smaller and smaller, and her eyes showed some guilt.

My brother said that Kong Xiyan is very popular on the Internet now, and he will probably be given more shots during the later editing and broadcast.

He had already lost to Zhong Qi Han during the live broadcast, so he had to find a way to win from other places.

Therefore, Chu Lizheng brought Chu Xiaoxiao here to get more shots of post-editing with Kong Xiyan, in order to create an image of a person who is grateful.

Chu Xiaoxiao herself didn't want to come here. She always felt guilty, anxious, and indescribably awkward when she met Kong Xiyan's eyes.

"Then you should really thank me." Kong Xiyan nodded, arms folded across her chest, relaxed but with a hint of pride: "Tell me, how do you want to thank me?"

Looking at Kong Xiyan's self-righteous attitude, Chu Lizheng's mouth twitched.

No, they were just looking for an excuse to get some attention. What was wrong with Kong Xiyan? Shouldn't they be more subtle and stop when they're ahead?

Seeing that the Chu brothers and sisters were silent, Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly: "Why? Are you coming to me to thank me before you've even thought of how to thank me?"

"My sister is dull and hasn't figured out how to thank Village Chief Xiao Kong, so she asked me to accompany her to ask," the usually warm smile on Chu Lizheng's face was a little stiff.

"Your sister is dull, and you don't understand the ways of the world either?" Kong Xiyan laughed. "Let's not talk about anything else. You go to someone else's house to thank them empty-handed? Your heart isn't sincere! Or do you just want to say it with your mouth?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lizheng felt something was wrong. Could it be that Kong Xiyan was really planning to blackmail them?

He's a big star, a future superstar. It's an honor for Kong Xiyan to serve them. Even a grassroots person like Kong Xiyan could brag about saving his sister for the rest of her life! And he still wants to ask them for money? How shameless!

Chu Lizheng wanted to curse, but thinking of the filming crew, he could only suppress his anger: "We came here just to ask Village Chief Xiao Kong if there is anything you need. If there is anything we can do, we are happy to serve you!"

"I see... Come to think of it, there's something I can do for you." Kong Xiyan's eyes swept over the Chu Lizheng siblings. "Our village's agricultural products are ready for sale, and we need two spokespeople with good looks and good temperament."

Kong Xiyan raised her finger and pointed at Chu Xiaoxiao: "You will be the spokesperson for our village's garlic and wild ginger."

"Me?" Chu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in disbelief. What was she being asked to endorse?

Kong Xiyan pointed at Chu Lizheng again and said, "Just endorse the mushrooms! Everyone is already impressed by your mushroom poisoning incident, so it's perfect for you to be the spokesperson!"

When Chu Lizheng heard this, his face turned green with anger.

The mushroom poisoning was the dark part of his history that he was most reluctant to mention. It had a bad impact on his image and he wished everyone would forget about it as soon as possible. But Kong Xiyan had to let him be the spokesperson for this!

This is really too much! Are you deliberately making things difficult for him?

"Okay, I'll say hello to the village party secretary later, and then I'll draft the contract and you can sign it today." Kong Xiyan finalized the matter with a wave of her hand.

"I don't want it!" Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head violently. She absolutely didn't want to be the spokesperson for village garlic and wild ginger right from the start!

"Village Chief Xiao Kong, stop joking." Chu Lizheng couldn't even fake a warm smile at this moment.

"Who's kidding you? Didn't you come to me to thank me?" Kong Xiyan blinked. "And you asked me what I needed? I just need a spokesperson with a good image and good temperament to promote our village's agricultural products."

"My endorsements are all finalized by the company, not by me. With all due respect, there's no way the company would agree to this type of endorsement. Please, Village Chief Xiao Kong, don't make it difficult for me!"

"Then how do you want to thank me?" Kong Xiyan crossed her arms and said, "You can't expect me to pay you, right?"

Chu Lizheng clenched his fists at his sides, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Zhong Qihan and Cheng Ze gave Kong Xiyan 200,000 yuan for food expenses in just a few days, and Kong Xiyan donated 450,000 yuan at once.

Is it humiliating to ask him for money at this time?

"How about this: you publicly express your gratitude on all your social media platforms and keep this message pinned to the top for three years? How about that?" Kong Xiyan tilted her head. "That should be fine, right?"

"Three years?" The corners of Chu Lizheng's eyes twitched with anger. After all, Kong Xiyan still wanted to humiliate him, right?

Even a clay man has some temper. This time, Chu Lizheng was completely enraged by Kong Xiyan.

"Village Chief Xiao Kong, don't you know what humility is?"

"Of course I understand. First, you have to submit an application to the relevant authorities and abide by local laws and regulations. You also have to choose an auspicious day. On the afternoon of the first day, prepare various tributes and inform your ancestors. The next day is a good time to move the tombstone." Kong Xiyan looked at Chu Lizheng suspiciously after saying this. "Why? Your family needs to move the tombstone? Have you bought a new one? If not, I know someone who can give me a 30% discount on custom tombstones. You can also add free words and scan the QR code. Does anyone in your family need it?"
