After leaving the Beijing office of Heshenghe, the actress Song Weiyin got into the car, gripping tightly the one yuan coin Shen Qiang had thrown to her. She stayed silent and dazed until, after a long while, she realized the car was still parked in the underground garage. She took a deep breath and asked, "Why aren't we leaving?"
The middle-aged female assistant in the driver's seat hesitated for a mont and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about Shen Qiang's Rubik's Cube."
Song Weiyin was stunned for a mont, then asked, "What do you an?"
"Shen Qiang has always emphasized that sincerity is the premise of cooperation." Turning her head to look at Song Weiyin sitting in the back, she hesitated a mont before saying, "We've underestimated him. He already sees through everything. So if we continue to circle around, he will not only target you but also guard against you. Even if you promote him, he won't feel he owes you any favor."
With a snap, she slapped the one yuan coin onto the armrest behind her. Song Weiyin's face turned a bit ugly as she said, "Do you think that now things have co to this, what else can I do? Are you suggesting I tell him, 'Hey, Shen Qiang, I want freedom, so why don't you join the Abyss?' What would he do? He'd chuckle, mockingly ridicule , and then turn away."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged female assistant hesitated a mont and said, "But the current situation, if you no longer have a chance, don't you understand? This Shen Qiang already knows we have other motives. The only way to redy this is to lay everything bare."
"You an to have betray Grandmother?" Song Weiyin said, "That's not possible."
The middle-aged female assistant raised an eyebrow and said, "Grandmother just wants you to pull Shen Qiang into the Abyss; she didn't prohibit you from telling him about her existence. So if you expose everything now, there might still be a turning point."
"If you don't say it, then even if you endorse him or even if you stripped naked to accompany Shen Qiang in bed, he wouldn't appreciate it nor do anything for you, understand? Just like he tossed you a one yuan coin; he might toss you a fistful of money and then there would be nothing more."
Song Weiyin, upon hearing this, leaned powerlessly against the seat, overwheld with headaches, and after a mont of silence, despondently said, "Let think about it."
The middle-aged female assistant hesitated a mont and said, "Alright then, where are we headed?"
"I'm tired, I want to go ho and mop the floor," Song Weiyin said.
The middle-aged female assistant sighed, then started the car.
And just as they were leaving the underground garage.
Shen Qiang in the office leaned calmly against the chair, gazing at the city outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Ke Bizhu, with her lithe figure, was gently massaging Shen Qiang's shoulders while softly saying, "You should have given her more face; after all, she is an actress, not only a beauty but also a big celebrity."
Shen Qiang smiled and, looking out the window, said, "I give her face, did she consider ? It's fine to lie in front of ; when I'm in a good mood, I can play along with those little tricks, but not now. Heshenghe needs to grow strong; Wenren iqiao needs to grow strong; Qingxuan is also waiting for to beco strong enough. At this mont, I absolutely cannot lose myself for an actress."
"She's beautiful, young, her cultivation is quite good, and she has high fa. If she were to join Heshenghe, the influence of Heshenghe would explode instantly; after all, fa is a form of power." Ke Bizhu said lightly as she continued to massage Shen Qiang's shoulders.
Shen Qiang frowned, remained silent for a long ti, and said, "There's so truth to that. I must admit you're right. This Song Weiyin is indeed very pretty; if she were to strongly support Heshenghe, our corporate image would improve greatly, potentially leading to bigger developnt opportunities."
"But our focus should still be on the Cultivation World, especially the Elixir Pills Conference. I must succeed because the stakes are too high. If I can surpass the others, Heshenghe can soar. If I can't, Jinli Qianning will continue to show off in front of , Qin Yurou will be disappointed, and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands will see as a joke."
Ke Bizhu chuckled: "That won't be a problem for you; I've always believed you're the best."
Shen Qiang laughed and after a mont of silence said, "Winning at the Elixir Pills Conference is not difficult, but the key is to bring enough benefits. The current situation is that refining a good pill is not hard, but what's hard is that my elixir pills not only need to win but also be mass-produced; otherwise, even winning holds no significance."
Ke Bizhu was surprised: "You want to use mass-produced elixir pills to win the Elixir Pills Conference?"
Shen Qiang nodded and smiled, "Yes, the winning elixir pills will surely attract a lot of attention. If they're mass-produced products, then there's bound to be profits without end. If it's one of those pills that are hard to obtain in materials and refining just one becos epic, there's no way to generate enough money after winning."
Ke Bizhu laughed: "You're overthinking; as long as you're famous enough and can win, any elixir pill can sell."
Shen Qiang laughed and shook his head: "How can it be the sa? Champion elixir pills and those refined by the champion are completely different."
Ke Bizhu chuckled: "Alright, but it's best not to overthink so much. After all, there are less than twenty days until the Elixir Pills Conference, and your preparation ti is limited."
Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Chan, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Master, don't you think that Song Weiyin looks a lot like Sister Qingxuan?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang was stunned for a mont, then his thoughts instantly entered the Sea of Consciousness.
"Qingxuan greets Master."
"Get up, let take a look." Supporting Qingxuan who was kneeling on the ground, Shen Qiang seriously looked at her being gazed at, her deanor inexplicably shy for a long ti, and was also astonished.
Because upon serious observation, Shen Qiang suddenly noticed that Qingxuan and Song Weiyin really looked very much alike.
Their face shapes were nearly identical.
Delicate eyebrows, phoenix eyes, cherry lips, and even the shy expression were about seventy percent similar. If not for their completely different temperants, plus other subtle differences, if Qingxuan and Song Weiyin stood together, anyone would believe them to be sisters.
"No wonder I've always had a strange feeling about Song Weiyin; it turns out it's because of Qingxuan." Shen Qiang smiled and said, "It's nothing; I just wanted to see you."
Having said that, Shen Qiang's mind returned to reality, just in ti to hear Jin Chan saying: "When I saw Song Weiyin for the first ti, I almost accidentally called her Sister Qingxuan, because they're really alike. And I was so delighted then; if she were Sister Qingxuan, she would definitely take shopping and buy my favorite osmanthus cake."
