Chapter 61

China, with its vast land and large population, is a country with a huge consumer market. In recent years, retail chain supermarkets have developed rapidly, and Chao Sheng Group is one of the giants among the indigenous chain supermarket groups in China. Asama Shoji has always been envious of this huge market, but due to historical reasons between China and Japan, the public has a抵制情绪 towards Japanese-run supermarkets. Additionally, there are many options available for supermarkets, which is why Western supermarkets like Walmart and Tesco have been thriving in China, while Japanese supermarkets seem to struggle to gain popularity. Asama Shoji thus sought a joint venture to gain a share of the massive retail market in China, just like Mitsubishi Shoji, which invested in Lianhua and made substantial profits. Asama Shoji had its eyes on Chao Sheng Group, which was raising funds and planning to expand its business scale.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yangying, the major shareholder and chairman of Chao Sheng Group, firmly opposed Japanese investment in the group. Asama Shoji's president, Asama Sachiko, had no choice but to seek help from Chiba Kako, hoping to achieve her goal through some underhanded means.

At first, Asama Sachiko thought her father's suggestion to seek help from a shaman was absurd, but it turned out to be effective. She hurriedly sought Chiba Kako again, hoping to conquer Chao Sheng Group as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, in ten days, take this to negotiate with her, and everything will go as you wish. Afterward, return this paper figure to me," Chiba Kako said, holding a paper figure in her hand. The paper figure had a strand of hair tied around its neck, as if it were being controlled by a string.

If before, Asama Sachiko would have dismissed the paper figure as a joke, but today, seeing it, she felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly stood up, took the paper figure, and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Please convey to your father that the debt the Chiba family owes your family has been repaid, and from now on, both families are even," Chiba Kako said solemnly, then picked up her tea.

This was a polite way of dismissing her.

"Yes, I will convey the message to Father," Asama Sachiko said, feeling a chill and getting up to leave.

Zhong Yangying had no idea that the evil spirits haunting her were summoned by Asama Sachiko through a shaman. Xia Yunjie was even more unaware that the woman who wanted to keep him as a kept man was none other than the famous chairman of Chao Sheng Group. He also didn't know that Zhong Yangying's nightmares were the result of someone's plot, thinking she had just accidentally encountered something unclean.

After work, Xia Yunjie, as usual, rode home with Wu Yuqi and the others.

The next morning, Xia Yunjie tidied up his room again, then called Du Haiqiong to inform her that he was on his way. After the call, he set off for Building 5, Room 502 with two luggage bags.

As soon as he reached the stairs of 502, Xia Yunjie saw the door of Room 502 wide open, and Du Haiqiong was standing at the door in a revealing outfit. The door of the opposite Room 501 was also open, and two men were standing at the door, bare-chested and leering at Du Haiqiong, but she ignored them.

It seemed Du Haiqion was right; the opposite room indeed housed two perverts. Xia Yunjie frowned at the sight.

"Ajie, you're here. Look, these two guys always stare at me lecherously and harass me!" Du Haiqiong, clearly waiting for Xia Yunjie, brightened up when she saw him with the two bags. Before Xia Yunjie could speak, she wrapped her white arms around his and pointed at the two leering men, complaining with a pout.

Xia Yunjie hadn't expected trouble to come even before he entered the room. Since Du Haiqiong had laid it out, and he was supposed to be her boyfriend, he couldn't just ignore it. He put down his luggage and turned to the two leering men with a stern face.

"I won't hold past incidents against you, but please be more respectful in the future," Xia Yunjie said coldly.

The two leering men from Room 501 were clearly not easy to deal with. They showed no sign of guilt or embarrassment, instead, they sneered, "Hey, what do you mean? What's being respectful? This is our home; we can be bare-chested if we want, and look wherever we want. If your girlfriend doesn't like it, she can..."

"Snap!" The leering man's voice cut off abruptly as all four eyes stared at the broomstick in Xia Yunjie's hand, which he had just broken. The broomstick, which they had just used and left at the door, was not thin, about the thickness of a child's arm. Even if they used all their strength, they couldn't break it. They were surprised to see that Xia Yunjie, who looked gentle and refined, had broken it with just a light snap of his hands.

"Sorry, I accidentally broke your broom. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I used to be on the provincial kickboxing team, but I have a short temper and accidentally... cough, said too much. Is ten yuan enough for the broom?" Xia Yunjie casually broke the broomstick into four pieces and then took out a ten-yuan note from his pocket.

The shorter the broomstick, the harder it is to break. Xia Yunjie's casual breaking of the broomstick into two pieces had already scared the two leering men. Now, breaking it into four pieces made them tremble even more. The fact that Xia Yunjie was a kickboxer and had even hit a coach made them think he was a violent person!

"Brother, no need, no need. The broom has been in service for a long time, and we were planning to replace it anyway," the two leering men said, trembling and smiling nervously as Xia Yunjie handed them the money.

"Really? Then I won't be polite. By the way, the weather is getting cooler, so if it's convenient, please wear clothes when you open the door, considering there are...," Xia Yunjie, who was in a tight financial situation, took the money back without hesitation and added a few more warnings.

"Sure, sure, we will definitely be more careful," the two leering men said hurriedly. They knew they were in the wrong, and with such a formidable boyfriend, they didn't dare to be arrogant.

"Thanks." Xia Yunjie smiled and patted their shoulders, but he couldn't help using a bit of force, making them grimace and almost fall to the ground.

When Xia Yunjie's hand left, their shoulders were red.

"Haiqiong, let's go in." After secretly giving them another warning, Xia Yunjie picked up his bags and smiled at Du Haiqiong, who was already stunned.

"Okay, okay." Du Haiqiong followed Xia Yunjie into the room, still dazed. It wasn't until Xia Yunjie gently closed the door that she came to her senses and jumped up excitedly.

"Wow! Ajie, you were so cool and awesome just now. You didn't see the scared looks on those two leering men's faces; it was so exciting, so satisfying, like a movie. You're not really from the provincial kickboxing team, are you?"

"Hehe, you really believe that? It was just to scare them," Xia Yunjie said, unable to help laughing and crying at the same time.

"But, you really broke the broomstick, right? You didn't prepare it in advance, did you?" Du Haiqiong looked at Xia Yunjie with admiration.

Although the airline was never short of tall and handsome flight attendants, compared to Xia Yunjie's performance, they seemed like silver-tipped spears.

"Hehe, I worked on construction sites, so I have some brute strength," Xia Yunjie said, smiling awkwardly.

"Really? You're a shaman, right? Cough, sorry, I meant a fortune-teller. How could you have worked on construction sites?" Du Haiqiong said, incredulous.

"Do I look like someone who can make money by fortune-telling?" Xia Yunjie said, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"That's true, but you're still impressive. At least you fooled that taxi driver into not charging you and calling you 'Master' repeatedly," Du Haiqiong said, looking Xia Yunjie up and down and nodding.

Du Haiqiong's words made Xia Yunjie roll his eyes. He had genuinely helped the driver with his calculations, but he didn't say that.

"Alright, alright, stop rolling your eyes. You're a Master, okay!" Du Haiqiong said, laughing.

Today, Xia Yunjie had thoroughly intimidated the two leering men, and Du Haiqiong was in a great mood.

Xia Yunjie had gotten used to the flight attendant's personality and could only shake his head and carry his luggage to his room.

The last time he came, the room was full of women's items, but now they were all gone, making the room look empty and desolate.

"Shaman... cough, Master Xia, do you need any help?" Du Haiqiong asked, leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, her chest pushed up and looking ready to burst out, but she didn't seem to care.

In her eyes, Master Xia only liked men!
