Chapter 1406: Demons and Humans
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was a door by the side. Tour Guide Li opened the door after leading everyone on a tour of the rocks and said, “This is the lounge. Everyone, come in and rest. Wait for me here. Don’t walk around.”
Fangzheng rolled his eyes when he heard that. Tour Guide Li had a bad memory. She had just said that they could tour around casually, but in a blink of an eye, she told them to not walk around and to wait for her.
The visitors did not seem to mind. They followed her into the room.
The room was very big—a conference hall. There were chairs inside, and everyone put down their backpacks and sat down. Some went to get some water and some people were using their phones.
There was a podium in front of them. There was a television by the podium. On the television, there was a video of an interview. From the logo, it was a huge, authoritative television station. The old man in the interview was the man on the photo outside.
Tour Guide Li clapped her hands and attracted everyone’s attention. She said, “Everyone, wait here for a moment. I’ll go and sign the documents. In that period of time, everyone might be quite bored. Also, we can’t let down our sponsor; therefore, let this lady beside me give a simple introduction to our Dark Red Jade Limited.”
A lady who looked extremely capable smiled and walked up to the podium. As soon as she got on stage, she said, “Hello everyone. My surname is Chen. First, I would like to represent our Dark Red Jade Limited to welcome everyone here. I know that everyone might be worried that I will promote something to everyone here. I can assure you that we will not promote or sell anything here.”
When everyone heard this, they clearly relaxed a lot and no longer tensed up.
Red Boy asked Fangzheng softly, “Master, this doesn’t look like a cheat.”
Fangzheng stroked Red Boy’s head and said, “You don’t look like a demon either. If a demon doesn’t even know any transformation arts, how would they survive?”
Red Boy was left speechless.
Fang Yunjing looked suspiciously at the two of them as though she had heard something.
Fangzheng and Red Boy quickly changed the topic. Red Boy asked, “Daddy, are demons frightening? Do they eat humans?”
“Some demons are frightening. Some demons are rather cute,” said Fangzheng.
Fang Yunjing retracted her gaze when she heard their nonsense.
Fangzheng and Red Boy heaved a sigh of relief. They nearly exposed themselves.
At that moment, Chen had already introduced the background culture of Dark Red Jade Limited.
“The founder of our company is Mr. Li Zaixian. He’s also the chairman of our company… Our company is currently the biggest oriental jasper supplier in the country. We account for 80% of the domestic market and have quite a large share in the world. This is especially true in Southeast Asia… Everyone, you can watch the television, an interview of our chairman at an authoritative television station. Even if you doubt what I say, this authoritative media wouldn’t lie, right?
“The chairman has spent his entire life working on domestically producing jade and the discovery of top-grade jade…
“In fact, the chairman could have retired long ago, but he felt that having earned a lot of money, he should repay society. Hence, there’s this sponsorship for a Guilin tour. Everyone can spend very little money to tour Guilin, eat well, and have fun. You will take with you Guilin’s name cards and good reputation. Therefore, I hope that everyone can enjoy yourself. When you return, help us promote Guilin…”
At that moment, the door opened and a man came in. He said sternly, “Little Chen, Manager Li will be here in a moment. He got me to tell you that you’re not allowed to promote in any way!”
Little Chen hurriedly nodded and said, “I understand. I definitely won’t sell anything.”
The man left and closed the door.
Little Chen patted her chest with a lingering fear and said to everyone, “I guess everyone heard that. Our company really doesn’t sell stuff.”
Everyone laughed.
Little Chen smiled and said, “Everyone’s luck is pretty good. It just so happens that our young successor is here. He’s a very straightforward person. Every time he comes, he will give things away. I hope everyone has this good luck too.”
Only then did Fangzheng realize that the person who was coming was the successor of this company, a super rich second-generation heir.
Red Boy sat up straight as well and grunted. “A rich second-generation heir… Is he as rich as me? My family’s mountain is bigger than China. My lesser demons number in the hundreds of millions. My spirit ginseng is grown like cabbage…”
Fangzheng raised his hand and slapped him. “It’s easy to get beaten to death for flaunting your wealth.”
Red Boy smacked his lips and said aggrievedly, “I just can’t stand people posturing.”
“Brother, you have to be patient with children. You can’t hit them all the time. Besides, don’t hit their heads. It’s easy to turn them silly.” Fang Yunjing noticed that Fangzheng had hit Red Boy several times and would always hit his head. She felt sorry for Red Boy and gave Fangzheng a gentle reminder.
Red Boy immediately winked at Fangzheng when he heard that. Fangzheng pulled him over and smacked his buttocks three times. “Yes, what you said makes sense. It feels much better spanking him.”
Fang Yunjing was dumbfounded as though she was saying: ‘This isn’t your biological child, right?’
Fang Yunjing looked at Red Boy again. This silly child hasn’t cried out in pain despite being beaten so many times. He’s even beaming with joy. It’s over. He’s already turned into a fool from all the beating.
Red Boy said helplessly, “There’s something wrong with my dad’s brain. It’s fine when you get used to it.”
Fangzheng hurriedly pressed him down and gave him three more slaps.
Red Boy still didn’t scream in pain as he chuckled.
Fang Yunjing looked at the two of them as though she was looking at two idiots with sympathy.
Fangzheng and Red Boy could only pretend not to understand and feigned ignorance.
As they were fooling around, the door opened, as a young man respectfully opened it. He lowered his head and fearfully invited a man in.
The man was dressed in an extremely particular manner. His hair was lathered with lots of wax and he gave off a strong presence. His gaze was filled with aggression, a supercilious look.
Seeing the man enter, Little Chen quickly stepped aside and respectfully said, “Hello, General Manager.”
The man ignored her and stood on the podium. He looked at all the visitors in front of him, placed his hands on the podium, and nodded slightly. “Hello everyone. My name is Li Shaocong, the general manager of this company. Everyone will be curious. Why didn’t I speak to Little Chen? Instead, I’m talking to you. Isn’t that too arrogant?”
None of the visitors spoke up, but they were obviously suppressed by this man’s presence. At the same time, everyone clearly did not want to cause any trouble.
Little Chen was so frightened that she dared not say a word.
Li Shaocong said, “The reason is simple. I heard that someone reported us, saying that someone is promoting items to tourists right here! I’m angry, very angry! Therefore, I specially flew back from Canada to see who’s promoting and selling things to tourists on my territory!
“Everyone, I’ve taken a look. Most of you here are older than me, but don’t underestimate my age. I, Li Shaocong, might not dare say anything else, but my knowledge is no less than yours. When I was 12, I followed my father to open casinos and mines in Southeast Asia. I’ve seen a lot of things.”
