"Do you think I'm any good? She stood me up a few days ago and almost made me sign a contract to sell myself into servitude!" Jiang Yuan was also speechless. He had vivid memories of what happened in the Apocalypse World.
"Really? My sister isn't that cruel!"
Ke Zhiyuan became interested upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words. He had originally thought that he was the only victim, but now that he suddenly had a fellow sufferer, he felt much better.
"But that makes sense. My sister hasn't dated since the catastrophe, so it's normal for her to be strict with you now that she finally has someone she likes!" Ke Zhiyuan answered himself.
"Which safe zone is your sister in now?" Jiang Yuan asked. He had almost no communication with Liu Zhaodi, so he could only ask Ke Zhiyuan for information.
"With this incident in Seoul, Zhongzhou has also realized the shortcomings of the nine provinces of China fighting independently. So, in order to strengthen ties with the other four provinces, my sister went to Suzhou in Wuzhou for friendly exchanges!" Ke Zhiyuan shrugged, then added, "Brother-in-law, I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but you're not as strong or wealthy as my sister, so you should be as accommodating as possible. Also, you need to get used to her busy schedule—busy with cultivation, busy developing the chamber of commerce. You have to adapt to all of this, otherwise, the two of you won't last long! I don't want my sister to get hurt again after finally investing in a new relationship!"
Ke Zhiyuan's words carried a hint of persuasion and a touch of warning, but Jiang Yuan was not angry after hearing them. He was well aware of his own bad habits, and Liu Zhaodi had indeed suffered a lot of grievances after being with him, so he would definitely make concessions where necessary.
"Brother-in-law, don't bother attending the auction tonight. I've already had everything you wanted retrieved, so you don't get caught by some bored paparazzi!" Ke Zhiyuan brought Jiang Yuan to the rooftop of the building because he was afraid his identity would be exposed, otherwise his cousin would probably tear him apart.
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "How much is it in total? I'll give it to you!"
"You're kidding, right? If you really establish a relationship with my sister, the entire Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce will be yours. How could I dare to take your money!" Ke Zhiyuan said with a dry laugh.
"That's for later; what's due now should still be given!"
Ke Zhiyuan is not Liu Zhaodi. If he were Liu Zhaodi, he would have accepted her not only money but also her person.
"It would be good if you gave it to me, otherwise the accounts on the finance side won't match, and I'll have to make up for it later!" Ke Zhiyuan smiled slyly, which also proved that the previous sentence was just a polite remark.
"Give me another gold card, otherwise I won't even be able to get into my own place next time!" Jiang Yuan stood on the rooftop looking down. This place was Liu Zhaodi's culmination of five years of hard work, and he could only feel proud of Liu Zhaodi. As for whether he was suspected of being a gigolo, he never cared about other people's opinions.
"This won't do!"
Ke Zhiyuan refused decisively, but his expression immediately changed after he finished speaking. He reached into his pocket with one hand and took out a black and gold card. His expression became extremely interesting as he handed over the card. "My sister prepared this for you a long time ago!"
"What kind of card is this?" Jiang Yuan took the black gold card in his hand and looked at it for a few moments.
"It's probably a card that allows you to freely control all the chamber of commerce's working capital! For details, you should ask my cousin next time!" Ke Zhiyuan didn't dare to say anything more. His cousin had demoted him because he was too close to Gu Anlei.
"Okay, where's the thing? I'll take it and leave!"
Jiang Yuan didn't want to stay at the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce for long. Since he could get the items as quickly as possible, there was no need to waste time here.
"Wait here a moment, I'll go get it for you!"
After saying that, Ke Zhiyuan went downstairs, leaving Jiang Yuan alone on the rooftop looking at the scenery.
Looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, Jiang Yuan murmured, "It'll be soon. At the latest, within a month, I'll be able to find the Heavenly Eye!"
The Eye of the Gods and the Hand of Death are his greatest assets.
Ke Zhiyuan returned half an hour after leaving, bringing with him the two things Jiang Yuan needed.
"Brother-in-law, Huasheng Academy will officially start in two days. Remember not to miss the time!" Ke Zhiyuan's eyes held a hint of a smile, as if he was looking forward to Jiang Yuan's surprised expression when he returned to school.
"I remember!" Jiang Yuan checked the two items, then asked, "How many Holy Spirit Crystals are there in total?"
"Don't worry, I've already deducted it from your card!" Ke Zhiyuan said.
"Okay, I'll be going now. I'll treat you to a meal next time I have time!"
Jiang Yuan left directly from the top floor. With these two treasures, he was confident that he could safely send Wei Yue away that night.
Before that, however, he had to go back and keep an eye on Wei Yue. This woman said she would have a surprise for him that night. If he didn't go back, Wei Yue might cause some other trouble. He was also worried about letting a seventh-level Heavenly Spirit Realm Saint run amok in the city.
Ancheng has been under curfew for the past few days due to the Holy Spirit's invasion. Although it is only just sunset, there are not many people on the streets, and most of them are soldiers from the city lord's mansion patrolling.
"It seems that leaving the city at night will be quite a hassle!" Jiang Yuan frowned, displeased. If leaving the city would trigger the city's defense system, it would be nothing short of creating trouble for himself.
"I still need to use my real identity; it's too inconvenient to walk around like this, pretending to be a ghost!"
The flaws of the faceless golden pattern are fully exposed here; the identity card, which is seriously inconsistent with his true self, means that he cannot walk in the safe zone using the disguised identity.
Jiang Yuan found a city gate with slightly lax defenses, scouted the location, and then calmly returned to his inn.
"What's that smell?" Jiang Yuan smelled a strange odor even before entering the room. If his nose was working properly, it must be some kind of burnt meat.
