"Young Marshal, I was wrong! I, I really know I was wrong. If I had known your identity, I would never have dared to disrespect you and your wife even if I had a hundred lives!"
Upon learning Lin Yu's identity, Xu Dong was so frightened that he wet his pants on the spot.
Lin Yu sneered, "Isn't it a bit too late to say that now? You've already been extremely disrespectful. What are you going to do about it now?"
"Young Marshal, please calm down!"
Xu Xiao quickly stepped forward and said, "As a young marshal, you naturally wouldn't stoop to the level of us commoners! If my nephew has offended you in any way, I, his second uncle, will apologize on his behalf!"
Xu Xiao immediately knelt down before Lin Yu.
Xu Dong was deeply moved; it seemed his second uncle truly cared for him. Otherwise, he would have already expelled him from the family and severed all ties, thus avoiding implicating his entire clan.
"Young Marshal, I know you care about the work for veterans! My Xu family is willing to contribute one billion yuan to help settle veterans! We will also provide corresponding job opportunities!"
Before Lin Yu could speak, Xu Xiao quickly said the same thing.
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "You're quite the smooth talker!"
"Since you're so sensible, I'll give you a chance!"
"I don't need you to contribute this billion! However, my wife is somewhat interested in your Xu family's cosmetics business!" Lin Yu said casually.
Xu Xiao was slightly taken aback and quickly looked at Lu Xueqing.
Lu Xueqing hurriedly said, "Chairman Xu, I contacted your assistant before!"
Xu Xiao immediately remembered that a consortium from Fengtian had previously wanted to cooperate with him, saying they could help raise funds and help the Xu family's brand enter Harbin.
To be honest, he was reluctant to cooperate because the conditions offered by the other party were tantamount to a disguised acquisition. Although they might prosper in the future, the Xu family would lose control of the company.
It's much more comfortable for me to stay in Qing City and be a local tyrant.
But now that he knows this is the young marshal's wife, things are different!
Cooperating with the young marshal's wife is tantamount to getting close to the young marshal's powerful backer.
So what if they give up the cosmetics business? The Xu family can still make other money by leveraging this relationship and influence!
It's all beneficial and has no drawbacks!
Upon realizing this, Xu Xiao immediately kowtowed to the ground, expressing his gratitude!
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Madam! My Xu family agrees to the acquisition plan. From now on, my Xu family will follow your lead!" Xu Xiao said excitedly, his voice trembling.
Lu Xueqing was slightly taken aback, then looked at Lin Yu with a wry smile.
What was originally a tough nut to crack was invisibly dissolved by her husband's influence.
You've made yourself completely worthless!
However, she wasn't unhappy about it. After all, she had come to terms with it. Her husband's strength was her strength, and she was proud of it.
Lin Yu then put on an expression that suggested the boy was teachable, saying, "I'll let today's matter go for your sake! But your nephew is definitely a scoundrel and should be disciplined!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Xiao glared fiercely. "What are you all standing there for? Drag this bastard out of here and break his legs!"
"yes!"
The Xu family immediately dragged Xu Dong out, and soon screams could be heard from outside.
Xu Xiao chuckled and said, "Young Marshal, I have a bottle of Moutai stored at this private restaurant. I'll have someone bring it over to you later. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"
Lin Yu waved his hand, and Xu Xiao immediately led the Xu family members out with bows.
After the Xu family left, Lu Xueqing looked at Lin Yu helplessly, "I just wanted to have a nice meal, but it turned out like this!"
Lin Yu smiled. "Half of the work is done, aren't you happy?"
"Happy? How could I not be happy!" Lu Xueqing said irritably, "It's just that it feels too easy, not challenging at all! But, about what you said about the veterans, I have an idea. After I acquire the Xu family's company, I'll set up two more cosmetic factories and provide employment for these veterans. The medical aesthetics industry is highly profitable, and their salaries and benefits won't be bad, even much better than those of government employees!"
Lin Yu nodded with a look of satisfaction. His rejection of Xu Xiao's 1 billion yuan and his desire for the Xu family's cosmetics company was not without reason.
It seems that he and his wife are becoming more and more in sync.
Lu Xueqing said with a smile, "Next, all that's left is the medical equipment. I hope I can close the deal smoothly tomorrow, and then I can rest for a few days, go shopping with Xiaoya, and then we'll go to Harbin to see Xiaoya's school!"
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
...
That night.
In a secluded mountain forest in the south.
A magnificent palace complex stretches across the landscape.
Surrounded by magical arrays, the palace, built against the mountain, appears exceptionally sacred, like a celestial palace.
In a side hall on the right, a man in black robes hurriedly ran inside.
At this moment, on the throne in the palace, there was a white-haired man dressed in a red robe, sitting cross-legged, his breathing barely perceptible!
If there were any supreme experts here, they would be able to tell that this person has already entered the realm of embryonic breathing, a skill that can only be possessed by those who have touched the Saint realm or even become Saints!
Once you reach the state of fetal breathing, your lifespan will be greatly extended, far exceeding that of ordinary people, and even your appearance will change, making you younger!
The man on the throne, though he looks to be only in his forties, is actually over a hundred years old!
"bite!"
The man in black robes picked up a bronze chime from the side and tapped it lightly.
The man on the throne trembled slightly, slowly emerging from his meditative state and opening his eyes slightly.
"What is it?" The hoarse voice came from his throat, indicating that he hadn't spoken in a long time!
The man in black robes immediately knelt down and reported to the Palace Master, "The demon was seriously injured while on a mission and died from his injuries!"
"What?" The man on the throne's eyes flashed suddenly.
"The Demon King is one of the top five experts under my Judgment Hall. Below the level of Half-Saint, no one can rival him! Who did this?"
The man in black robes quickly replied, "This person has always been the target of the demon's mark, and all the information is in the demon's hands. Now that the demon is dead, we have to reinvestigate. We have now determined that the other party is suspected to be a semi-saint expert from the Fengtian Army, and also the newly elected leader of the martial arts alliance in the northern martial arts world. His name is Lin Yu!"
"Feng Mansion, Lin Yu?"
The Hall Master's eyes flickered. "A mere martial arts alliance leader dares to challenge my martial arts arbitration? He's utterly courting death! If this person knew the identity of the Demon, he definitely wouldn't dare to make a move!"
"Unless there's one exception!"
The Lord of the Judgment Hall clenched his fists and continued, "I previously had Chimei investigate the Immortal Treasury in the north. His death is most likely related to the Immortal Treasury!"
The man in black robes' eyes lit up. "Then, Palace Master, why don't you go there yourself, kill this person, and obtain the Immortal Treasure? Not only will you be able to complete the judgment, but if you obtain the Immortal Treasure, your cultivation will be able to advance further. The position of the next court president will surely be yours!"
