Chapter 86

"Ahem, Ahem, Miss Zhong, you're here." Xia Yunjie saw Zhong Yangying and Wu Ying standing outside the door, staring at him with a fanatical gaze similar to that of star-chasers. His fair face couldn't help but turn slightly red, and he stood up, greeting them awkwardly. In his heart, he blamed himself for being so engrossed in enjoyment that he hadn't noticed Zhong Yangying and Wu Ying's arrival.

"Yes, yes! Master Jie, Mr. Masaru, what are you doing..." Xia Yunjie stood up to greet them, and only then did Zhong Yangying fully come to her senses. Looking at Xia Yunjie, she felt her tongue tie up, especially the name "Jie" which she used to call so smoothly, now became hard to say. Subconsciously, she added the title "Master."

"Ahem, Ahem, nothing much. I was just a bit tired from talking with Masaru and Miss Chiba, so I couldn't help but doze off for a while. I didn't expect the Japanese to be so热情 and friendly, even helping me with massages and fanning." Xia Yunjie awkwardly made up an excuse.

There was no way he could explain what had just happened. He couldn't boast to Zhong Yangying that the CEO of one of the world's top 500 companies, Masaru, was his servant, and the two Japanese women were his maids. If he did, it would shock Zhong Yangying and Wu Ying to the core.

"Japanese people are热情 and friendly?" Zhong Yangying and Wu Ying rolled their eyes in private. This was too much of a stretch!

"Mr. Xia, you flatter me. Listening to your words is more enlightening than reading ten years of books. Your words have awakened me from my dream! Fanning you is my honor, and I don't deserve the praise of being热情 and friendly." When it came to making up stories, Xia Yunjie couldn't even come close to the shameless old fox, Masaru. He took over the conversation, looking humble, as if it were a serious matter, and even flattered Xia Yunjie.

Xia Yunjie, of course, knew what was going on. Seeing Masaru tell lies and flatter him without a hint of embarrassment, he felt his cheeks turn red and his skin break out in goosebumps.

Zhong Yangying and Wu Ying were once again stunned. They never expected Masaru to continue flattery after Xia Yunjie's lies, speaking so humbly and seriously.

For a moment, they were confused. Could Master Jie really have used his "compassionate" words to move and teach them?

"Alright, alright, let's put the past behind us. In the future, let's all be friendly and prosper together." Xia Yunjie, seeing Zhong Yangying and Wu Ying stunned again, feared that the shameless Masaru would say something that would make him feel even more uncomfortable, so he interrupted at the right time.

"Yes, yes, let's be friendly and prosper together. Miss Zhong, I was wrong in the past, and I apologize to you sincerely. To show my sincerity, I will provide you with a long-term interest-free loan of 300 million RMB." Masaru, hearing this, bowed and apologized to Zhong Yangying.

"What? You will lend me 300 million RMB long-term interest-free? No conditions?" Zhong Yangying, who had already seen Masaru fanning Xia Yunjie like a eunuch, was no longer surprised by his apology. However, when he not only apologized in person but also offered to lend her 300 million RMB, she was genuinely shocked.

After all, Chao Sheng Group was currently at a bottleneck and desperately needed funds. But external funding would weaken Zhong Yangying's control over the group and dilute its profits.

Zhong Yangying, though a woman, had a strong sense of national pride. Her great-grandfather had died during the war, so even though she saw great potential in the development of retail supermarkets in mainland China, she was unwilling to let Japanese investors participate in the group's control.

"Of course, this is my compensation for the harm I caused you!" Masaru said sincerely.

How could he not be sincere? His life and soul after death were in Xia Yunjie's hands.

Chao Sheng Group urgently needed funds, but Zhong Yangying herself had no more to inject. If she suddenly had 300 million RMB, she wouldn't need to seek external funding. This meant she would still firmly control Chao Sheng Group, and the group would experience a second leap due to the injection of funds. Zhong Yangying was almost overwhelmed with happiness.

However, Zhong Yangying was not an ordinary woman. Despite the huge temptation, she maintained a clear head and looked to Xia Yunjie for advice: "Master Jie, what do you think?"

"Since Mr. Masaru has apologized sincerely, there's no need to refuse, Miss Zhong." Xia Yunjie smiled.

After all, it wasn't his money, so Xia Yunjie didn't care. But thinking about Masaru offering 300 million RMB and then remembering that he, the master, only had a few large bills in his pocket, Xia Yunjie felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

Being a kind and just wizard who doesn't harm the world is not easy!

300 million RMB!

Zhong Yangying, who trusted Xia Yunjie deeply, had no hesitation when he nodded. A smile of happiness crept onto her lips: "Since Master Jie says so, I can't refuse. We'll discuss the details of the long-term interest-free loan later, Mr. Masaru."

"Alright, I'll have my lawyer draft a contract when I return," Masaru said.

"Actually, I also bear some responsibility. To show my apology, the Chiba family will provide a long-term interest-free loan of 500 million RMB to Miss Zhong." Just as Zhong Yangying thought the matter was perfectly resolved, Chiba Kako, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Not only that, but the long-term interest-free loan offered by Chiba Kako was 200 million RMB more than Masaru's.

Compared to the Masaru family, the Chiba family was a very special existence. All the Chiba family's wealth and external forces existed to ensure the normal cultivation of the Chiba family's yin-yang practitioners. Cultivation was the most important thing for the Chiba family. Therefore, Chiba Kako, as the head of the family, viewed wealth much more lightly than Masaru, and she had absolute control over the Chiba family, with the power of life and death.

In this regard, Masaru, as the leader of the Masaru family, couldn't be compared to Chiba Kako. Often, Masaru's power within the family was relative, not absolute.

From this perspective, Masaru offering 300 million RMB was already quite generous.

Zhong Yangying, of course, didn't know this. She had always thought Chiba Kako was just a female yin-yang practitioner with mysterious powers. She never expected her to offer 500 million RMB, which almost made her heart skip a beat.

Could this woman be even richer than Masaru? And she had been kneeling on the ground, massaging Xia Yunjie's legs like a maid?

Seeing Zhong Yangying stunned again, Xia Yunjie didn't know how to explain, so he said, "Alright, alright, you can discuss these matters privately. Miss Zhong, arrange a car to take me back to Jiangzhou City. I have to work tonight."

In the past, when Xia Yunjie mentioned work, Zhong Yangying didn't find it strange. But today, she found it hard to believe that a master with mysterious powers, the CEO of one of the world's top 500 companies, and two wealthy Japanese women with mysterious powers would willingly serve him, and he would go to work at a bar!

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears, who would believe it?

Of course, Zhong Yangying didn't dare to contradict or question Xia Yunjie. She quickly said, "I'm also going back to Jiangzhou City, I'll take you."

As for Masaru, who had promised to lend her 300 million RMB, and Chiba Kako, who had promised 500 million RMB, Zhong Yangying naturally put them aside for the moment.

She wasn't stupid; she could see that Masaru and Chiba Kako were only lending her money because of Xia Yunjie!

Xia Yunjie, who had already revealed a lot to Zhong Yangying, didn't need to be polite. He said, "That's fine. Masaru and Chiba Kako, leave me your phone numbers, and I'll leave mine too. We've become acquainted through conflict, so if anything happens in the future, we can contact each other. Of course, if it's nothing serious, don't come to me. I'm just a poor worker and can't afford to entertain you."

Masaru and Chiba Kako ignored the part about being a poor worker and respectfully left their phone numbers for Xia Yunjie, who also left his number for them. After all, they were now his people and could be considered friendly to China. As long as they didn't do anything heinous, he would still protect them.

Then, Zhong Yangying, Masaru, and Chiba Kako agreed on a time to discuss the details. The six of them split into two cars and drove down the mountain, then parted ways.

Riding in the same car with Miss Zhong again, Xia Yunjie caught the familiar, alluring scent of her perfume and saw the white, plump thigh under her skirt. Recalling the night when Miss Zhong had tried to keep him, Xia Yunjie's mind returned to that of a young boy, sitting nervously by the window.

At this moment, he was no longer the powerful and confident wizard. He was just an ordinary man, a man with a bit of lust but no courage to act.

This time, seeing Xia Yunjie leaning against the car door, far away from her, Zhong Yangying didn't dare to roll her eyes and scold him as she had before. Instead, she sat upright, extremely nervous.

How could she not be nervous? The CEO of a world 500 company had been beaten to a pulp by him and then humbly fanned him. Not to mention, Xia Yunjie was a powerful exorcist.

Fortunately, Zhong Yangying hadn't seen the terrifying form of the Eight-Headed Serpent. Otherwise, she might not have had the courage to sit in the back seat with Xia Yunjie.
