But that's impossible. With Helian Xu's outstanding looks, status and martial arts, how could he remain single for his entire life?
Looking at Elder Xue's appearance, she was also a beautiful woman when she was young. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Elder Xue is in love with the gang leader.
What on earth was Helian Xu thinking, ignoring the love of such a beautiful woman and planning to live out his life alone? Could it be that the woman he loved was the one he could never have?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I was just curious. After all, you exude the charm of a man from the inside out. I crossed the line and said the wrong thing."
Helian Xu seemed to have calmed down after hearing Chaoge's sudden words. He didn't care much about it. A warm smile appeared between his brows again and he shook his head.
“No problem, he’s just an unfortunate person.
How about you? How old are you? If you were a girl from an ordinary family, you would have to get married at the age of 18, otherwise the government would come forward to match you up. But do you have someone you like?"
Chaoge...
Is she shooting herself in the foot?
"I'm already married. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me take your pulse and see how you are doing today after taking the medicine last night."
"good."
Seeing that Chaoge didn't want to say more, Helian Xu tactfully reached out his hand, lifted his sleeves, and revealed his thin wrist.
I placed my fingers on his pulse and it was obviously beating a little stronger than yesterday. I remembered that when I took Helian Xu's pulse on the first day, his pulse was still weak and there was no trace of life.
In just a few days, under the influence of the strong flow of stream water and the effect of yesterday's "panacea", Helian Xu's body had undergone such a transformation.
Seeing Chaoge's slightly raised lips, Helian Xu couldn't help but curl his lips as well.
"This medicine is very good for your health. If I am not free this afternoon, I will ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks. Please remember to eat more at night so that you can continue to take the medicine tonight.
After three days of taking the medicine, if the senior is fine and his physical and mental condition are obviously no different from that of a normal person, you can use some precious medicinal herbs to recuperate.
But you still have to remember to eat more often and eat as much as you can as long as you don’t feel full.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After the two of them finished talking, ten elders landed in the courtyard one after another and walked into the main hall. None of the elders looked relaxed. Even Leng Zekang, who was usually cheerful, had a bitter face and frowned slightly.
"Meet the gang leader, meet the deputy gang leader."
Everyone approached and saluted Chaoge and Helian Xu at the top, their attitudes still respectful.
Chaoge nodded and asked them to sit down. His suspicious eyes swept across everyone's faces again.
"Elders, have things been arranged?"
"Reporting to the gang leader, all matters have been distributed according to the gang leader's instructions. The elders from our country have also distributed the disciples equally, and the managers of each department have also been decided."
Elder Sun, on behalf of everyone, stood up and reported respectfully to Chaoge. Chaoge nodded happily upon hearing this.
Give Helian Xu the medicine tonight, give Helian Xu the medicine again tomorrow, and she will be able to go back the day after tomorrow.
Thinking about his family and children at home, Chaoge was so eager to go home that he couldn't wait.
"Boss, everything has been done as you ordered. But now, let's discuss the matter of the monthly salary."
This time, Elder Sun did not speak. Instead, it was Qiu Ziming, who had rarely spoken, who spoke.
"Elder Qiu, you say."
"Yes! The leader just announced the current cash in the Beggars' Gang's treasury yesterday. The leader also wants to do business. Let alone the more than one million taels, if each group opens a store, then there are 600,000 people, that is 6,000 groups. Not to mention more, on average each group is allocated 100 taels of silver as capital. Just the capital for doing business, it will be 600,000 taels of silver.
Moreover, the capital estimated by my subordinates is still a lower figure. If you want to open a store in some provincial capitals or imperial cities, let alone one hundred taels, even five hundred taels would not be a problem.
In this case, how are we going to make up for the shortfalls you mentioned? Plus the monthly salary you mentioned, it’s almost due in a month. The monthly salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan has to be paid out every thirty days. There’s only a small amount of money in the treasury, and the business may not be able to pick up right away. How are we going to explain this to the brothers below when the time comes?”
What Elder Qiu was worried about was also what everyone was worried about. When these words came out, everyone looked at Chaoge with dissatisfaction and accusation in their eyes, hoping that she could give a satisfactory answer.
"I know how much money the Beggars' Sect has in its treasury. Since I can promise, I will definitely do it."
As he spoke, Chaoge directly took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms. The thickness of the banknotes was so great that even if all the elders and Helian Xu present did not see the denominations on the banknotes, they were still shocked and opened their mouths wide!
"I know very well how poor the Beggars' Sect is, even though I just took the position of leader. Don't you guys really trust me?"
Chaoge's face darkened. She hoped that this would be the last time that these people would doubt her and force her to carry out her orders unwillingly.
She had gone to great lengths to clean up this mess, not to let them get suspicious!
"Help, help, boss! You, you, you, you... where did you get so many banknotes? What are the denominations of them?"
In shock, Leng Zekang looked at Chaoge's thick stack of banknotes and couldn't help swallowing. He stuttered for a long time before finally finishing his sentence haltingly.
"It's mine!"
Everyone!
Helian Xu!
"No, no, no, no, you are so young, you, you, you, you... where did you get such a thick stack of banknotes?"
"Who said it was silver notes? These are all gold notes, one hundred taels each, a total of three hundred thousand taels. If I tell you that a small part of my wealth was earned from business, would you still doubt it now?"
Looking at Mengqiao who was stuttering like Leng Zekang, Chaoge smiled faintly and arrogantly put the gold note in front of Helian Xu, wanting Helian Xu, the former gang leader, to take a closer look.
Who would have thought that as soon as she said this, everyone stood up from their chairs in astonishment. Except for Wu Ting, everyone ignored the rules and ran to Chaoge, wanting to see if she was lying!
Seeing Ulala suddenly surrounding him and Chaoge, and the elders not caring about their own identities, Helian Xu came back to his senses from his shock. He hurriedly waved to the group of elders, asking them to step back, then quickly collected a stack of gold bills and handed it to Chaoge.
"This group of poor guys have never seen so many gold notes. You'd better keep them, boss."
