Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Zhang Meng was distracted all morning.

Li Xiaoyao didn't hide it from her.

He had a girlfriend now.

Zhang Meng didn't know what she was thinking, on one hand, she was happy that Li Xiaoyao was honest with her.

On the other hand, she wished that Li Xiaoyao would continue to deceive her and keep the lie going.

"With Xiaoyao brother being so outstanding, how could he have only me as a woman?" Sitting in the shop, Zhang Meng wiped away her tears, a smile spread across her face as she talked to herself, "But I won't give up. Just having a place in Xiaoyao brother's heart is enough for me."

Even if a woman is unmoved by material things, once accustomed to luxury, it's not easy to return to a simple life.

...

Two cars were parked outside Ling City International Airport, a Land Rover and a Jeep.

Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ge leaned against the car doors, smoking. Zhao Ge, seeing Li Xiaoyao after a while, felt he had changed a lot, but couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was different.

"Zhao Ge, how's the bar doing recently?" Li Xiaoyao asked casually.

"After those kids from last time went back, they brought someone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to shut down the bar, but it was unsealed that very afternoon." This incident had already happened some time ago.

Those young nobles from Jindu, after being recorded on an indecent video by Zhao Ge, immediately contacted influential people in Ling City upon their return.

They thought that dealing with Li Xiaoyao, who was just a local ruffian, would be easy with their power.

But before a few hours had passed with the good news of the bar being sealed, they received calls from friends warning them that 'Chaos Beauty' had strong backing and not to mess with it lightly.

The nobles didn't believe in bad luck and asked around, finally learning that the person who lifted the seal on the bar that day was from the military in Lu Province, apparently following direct orders from the Grand Marshal himself.

Now the nobles were dumbfounded; they could not have imagined that Li Xiaoyao had such powerful backing.

While very angry and unwilling to accept this, they were not fools and understood what it meant to have the support of the Grand Marshal.

That very night, a group of more than twenty young nobles left Ling City.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Zhao Ge, which unit were you in before?"

Zhao Ge took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, "The Seventh Unit of the Lu Province Military District."

"Do you ever think of going back?"

"Going back?" Zhao Ge was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, shaking his head, "It's been so many years, and I've come to terms with it. The army is good, but it's not as stable as my life now."

"My unit used to carry out missions often. Originally, there were over seventy of us in a team, but by the time I left the army, only about thirty remained." Zhao Ge's tone then shifted, "Ah Min and I are going to get married."

"Married!" Li Xiaoyao was taken aback, then smiled, "Congratulations, Zhao Ge, after all the hardships, you've attained your goal."

"When's the wedding? Have you set a date?"

Zhao Ge chuckled and said, "Next week, it's a good day."

"Have you booked the hotel?"

"Not yet, just planning to find a small restaurant to invite a few comrades-in-arms." Happiness was written all over Zhao Ge's face.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyao immediately said, "That won't do, getting married is a big deal. You may think the wedding is just a formality, but women don't think that way. Like this, I'll handle the wedding arrangements, and Zhao Ge, you just need to get married and enjoy the wedding night."

"No need, just finding a small restaurant..."

Li Xiaoyao interrupted him, speaking earnestly, "Zhao Ge, if you consider me a brother, don't argue with me about this. Getting married is a major life event, and it must be celebrated with grandeur."

"I've been busy with other things lately, and I haven't had time to stop by the bar and venue. Consider this wedding, as a wedding gift from a younger brother to his elder."

Having gone this far with his words, Zhao Ge couldn't refuse.

"Okay."

...

About ten minutes later, several familiar figures came out of the airport entrance.

Two men and one woman: the woman in the middle wearing jeans and a white T-shirt was Tang Tiantian, and the solidly built, tanned men on either side were Zhuo Li and Xia Zijiu.

"Over here!" Li Xiaoyao waved his hand.

They saw him, immediately grinned and walked over.

"Boss."

Xia Zijiu and Zhuo Li called out with a smile.

Li Xiaoyao looked them over; the two men had become even darker after their trip, evidently running around outside frequently.

"Get some good rest first; I'll treat you to a dinner to wash away the dust from your travels tonight," Li Xiaoyao turned to Zhao Ge and said, "Zhao Ge, you take them home first, Tiantian and I will go home."

After the three left, Li Xiaoyao turned to look at Tang Tiantian.

Tang Tiantian looked tanned, but even more spirited; there was a trace of worry between her brows, and she seemed more mature.

Li Xiaoyao held her hand and spoke softly, "You've had a hard time these days."

Tang Tiantian leaned into his arms and said, "Not at all, being with the kids every day was really happy. If it weren't for missing you, I really wouldn't want to come back."

"The sky there is so blue, the water so clear, the air so fresh, it's just that it's too impoverished. Each household only makes two to three thousand a year, it's really hard."

"Education is their only way out." Li Xiaoyao said, "If they are willing to learn, you will be their guide, and believe me, your name will be remembered by the whole world."

Tang Tiantian, however, just shook her head with a wry smile, "Going there, I realized that fifty million is really not much. To take a student from elementary school to university, it costs at least a hundred thousand. Fifty million can only help five thousand students."

That was the most optimistic calculation.

Li Xiaoyao knew that if money was to be spent in real terms, fifty million would probably only suffice to sponsor two to three thousand students.

"You don't need to worry about money, just do what you want to do. I'll fully support you financially," Li Xiaoyao wasn't exaggerating. Initially, he had earned a net profit of one hundred and ten million from treating Cheng Dongliang, and with another fifty million from Long Feiyang, Li Xiaoyao had a total of one hundred and sixty million.

And that didn't include the ninety percent stake that the Liang Family from Muze City had given him.

If he liquidated those shares into cash, he could probably have over a billion.

That is, without Li Xiaoyao making any effort to earn money. If he wanted, just by selling a few Pills of Medicine, he could earn tens of millions.

In the initial stages, Cultivators need a large amount of money; but once their cultivation succeeds, money becomes as much as they want it to be.

They drove back to the city center, where Li Xiaoyao personally cooked a sumptuous lunch for Tang Tiantian.
