Ye Qiu wasn't really concerned about the purpose of these people's appearance.
What Ye Qiu cared about was that so many people were gathering outside his villa, causing a commotion that disrupted his ability to ditate. This was the issue.
This situation made Ye Qiu feel extrely displeased.
Moreover, if these people really ca with ill intentions, that would be fine by Ye Qiu. He wouldn't mind dealing with them all at once.
Outside the villa, from the mont these people appeared, they started to create a commotion, seemingly discussing sothing.
However, when they saw the villa's door open and Ye Qiu walk out and head in their direction, everyone fell silent.
Because they all looked at the erging Ye Qiu with apprehension.
"Who are you, and what are you doing outside my ho?"
Opening the gate, Ye Qiu looked coldly at these people outside and asked indifferently.
Seemingly out of fear of Ye Qiu, upon seeing his icy stare, everyone couldn't help but step back.
After hesitating for a mont, a fat middle-aged man was the first to muster the courage to step forward, flashing a flattering smile, and said, "Mr. Ye, I'm the chairman of Hong Kong's Dajin Food. Upon learning that you live here, I specifically ca to visit you."
With soone having led the way, the others seed to dare not delay. They quickly followed, eagerly standing out.
"Mr. Ye, I own Shadi Real Estate, and I've made this special trip to visit you. Look, here's the Hetian jade I brought for you."
"I'm the president of the automotive group, and I also..."
"I'm from Hong Kong's Lei Family..."
"I'm from the North District's Zhang Family..."
...
One by one, everyone stepped forward, squeezing out flattering smiles at Ye Qiu, trying their best to make a good impression.
Behind Ye Qiu, following him out were Song Sisi, Xiang Zheng, and others, who felt puzzled seeing these people desperately try to flatter Ye Qiu, wondering why so many people suddenly ca to visit him.
Especially after hearing their introductions, Xiang Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, his expression sowhat incredulous, muttering to himself, "No way, they're all bosses of so famous companies in Hong Kong..."
Yes, those visiting Ye Qiu are all big figures from various well-known enterprises or forces in Hong Kong, people Xiang Zheng always tries to curry favor with.
However, these big figures, whom Xiang Zheng usually must try hard to please, were now eagerly visiting Ye Qiu to flatter him. This situation made Xiang Zheng once again realize that Ye Qiu's identity is truly elusive and unfathomable.
Thinking of this, Xiang Zheng's gaze towards Ye Qiu grew more complex, with a mix of fear, apprehension, and excitent.
If he could establish a good relationship with Ye Qiu, just by relying on the network of these influential figures trying to flatter Ye Qiu, he could rise to prominence!
And Ye Qiu, listening to these people's introductions and eager flattery, raised his eyebrows and sneered.
Because Ye Qiu already figured out the reason these people flocked in droves outside his villa.
Probably because yesterday at the Fengtian Club, the event of him defeating a group of Feng Shui Masters had spread in Hong Kong?
As the news spread, upon learning there was such a formidable character on Hong Kong's turf, these families and forces couldn't find peace, so after inquiring about Ye Qiu's address, they hurried over to visit and curry favor with him.
Moreover, so might also seek Ye Qiu as a protective backer.
After all, with Ye Qiu's formidable power, if he could be their backer, they would flourish in Hong Kong, with no opponents daring to provoke them.
Moreover, Ye Qiu also noticed that among these people, a few belonged to families where the Ten Great Fengshui Masters reside, and they had prepared a carload of valuable gifts, with obvious intentions.
"Mr. Ye, you probably know that Hong Kong's powers are divided among the Three Great Families. As families under the Three Great Families, we can only choose to depend on them for protection."
Sure enough, after introductions, these people began anxiously saying to Ye Qiu, "But, in recent years, conflicts among the Three Great Families have been incessant, coupled with Hong Kong's declining economy. We're really struggling."
"However, when you, Mr. Ye, appeared, the power you displayed could completely rival, even surpass the Three Great Families. Therefore, we implore you to protect us, and for this, we are willing to annually offer a satisfactory price to you..."
Listening to their voices, Ye Qiu couldn't help but yawn, unable to muster interest.
Ye Qiu had seen too much of this; the weak naturally have an instinct to gravitate towards the strong. It's only natural that these people, seeing Ye Qiu's strength, would seek him for protection and co to curry favor with him.
Moreover, putting it bluntly, these people's visit is actually driven by two things: interests.
Because Ye Qiu has the strength to confront the Three Great Families, and they want to change the monopolistic division of the Three Great Families, so they choose to side with Ye Qiu, seeking his protection, letting him compete with the Three Great Families, and thereby gain more benefits in the process.
Moreover, these people didn't hide their intentions, clearly stating their thoughts and making a promise to offer an annual paynt satisfactory to Ye Qiu — essentially, protection money.
However, they miscalculated one thing: Ye Qiu had little interest in such matters.
Agreeing to protect these people ans they would constantly disturb him, and if anything happens, they'd co to him for help.
Ye Qiu truly doesn't have the energy nor the inclination to deal with such matters, and he couldn't possibly remain in Hong Kong forever. Hence, he couldn't muster interest in these people's words.
Ye Qiu originally intended to casually dismiss these people, but then he suddenly thought of sothing and withdrew his plan.
