Chapter 1541: Chapter 1542: Don’t Delay My Meal!

Qin Li had never seen such a scene. Even when Luo Shanhu was the boss, these people wouldn’t show him this much respect.

It’s simply unimaginable!

“Can you hurry up in front? We’re still waiting for the stone materials to save our lives!”

“Yeah, if you’re going to be so slow, forget about signing the contract!”

“Hurry up!”

The people behind had started urging.

They’re in a hurry!

They were all waiting for Xinmeng Group to go bankrupt, but what happened? Xinmeng Group not only didn’t go bankrupt, but also controlled all the resources.

Now, they have to shamelessly come and beg Xinmeng Group to sell them stone materials.

Qin Li’s face broke into a wide smile, excited despite being busy.

This Mr. Xiao really is incredibly capable and resourceful.

Truly admirable.

The key is, he’s too rich, isn’t he? Normally, they would be the ones strapped for cash and then declare bankruptcy.

Yet now, there seems to be no financial issue at all.

“How’s it going, Xiao Qin? I told you, the boss said there’s no problem, and there really isn’t any problem. No need to be blindly anxious.”

“This time, I finally understand why you’ve been so calm. Mr. Xiao is incredible. His insight is godlike!”

“Me too. I was still wondering in my heart how to solve this matter.

I actually doubted Mr. Xiao?

I’m such an idiot!”

Liu Haiying slapped himself hard across the face, but he was still smiling.

How could he not smile?

The inventory was completely emptied, and they were sold at five times the market price. Wow, all the money they invested before has been earned back, and then some.

…

All day long, Liu Haiying and Qin Li were in a state of excitement.

The stone materials kept being transported away, and the buyers were even covering the shipping costs, which had never happened before.

The ones who used to act like grandfathers have now become like grandchildren.

The roles have completely reversed.

Some people came late and didn’t get any stone materials.

They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, pacing around.

Luckily, Xinmeng Stone Company has increased production, barely managing to keep up.

But it’s still not enough.

Lin Chaobei told them: “No need to worry, after all, Xinmeng Stone Company will soon have over a hundred more markets.”

These people were skeptical.

It was only when they saw dozens of quarry owners coming in that they understood.

“Half the original price, take it or leave it!”

Lin Chaobei was still very cocky.

He completely paid no mind to these people.

“Sell, sell it!”

Half is still money. If they don’t sell, they’ll soon be sitting idle and running out of money. How could they not be anxious?

So, more than a hundred quarries were bought at half price.

Xinmeng Stone Company completely took control of the stone business in both Sunset Prefecture and Daqin Prefecture.

They did this not to monopolize but to upgrade and reform.

This quarry business is different from others. Small companies ultimately lead to outdated technology and lack of safety.

Only by integrating everything under Xinmeng Stone Company can they simultaneously upgrade and manage.

The future looks promising.

The quarry owners took the money and ran, afraid of being dealt with by the Jin Family.

…

Today, Xiao Chen decided to have some hulu tou with Jiang Meng.

A snack from the Western Territory.

This stuff originated from the street food during the Northern Song Dynasty called “Fried White Sausage.”

Because the pork intestines are thick with fat and shaped like a gourd, it’s called hulu tou. The basic ingredients are pork intestines and pork stomach.

The customer first breaks the bread into pieces, then the chef arranges the pig intestines, stomach, chicken meat, sea cucumber, squid, etc., on top of the bread pieces, pouring boiled bone broth over them three or four times, then adds cooked lard and greens.

It’s seasoned with pickled garlic, spicy sauce, etc., when eaten, and it’s fresh, fragrant, and tender, rich but not greasy.

It doesn’t sound great, but the taste is absolutely fantastic.

Xiao Chen had often heard about it before but had never tasted it.

Today, he finally got to savor the deliciousness with Jiang Meng.

While they were eating, the phone rang again.

“Do you think that Liu Haiying is in love with me? He keeps calling me all day long. Wife, aren’t you jealous?”

Xiao Chen ate a bite of hulu tou and said with a wry smile.

“I don’t get jealous over men, and don’t bother me. I’m enjoying this delicious food.”

Jiang Meng laughed and lowered her head to eat.

Xiao Chen wiped his mouth with a napkin and then answered the phone.

Before he could speak, Liu Haiying on the other end was yelling like crazy, “Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, you truly are a god!

How could you predict today’s situation?

Not only are we saved, but we even control all the stone materials in Daqin Prefecture and Sunset Prefecture.

At five times the price, all those guys actually want it!”

“Damn, are you trying to deafen me?”

Xiao Chen was speechless: “This is not some brilliant tactic. Merchants have been using it since ancient times. I just happen to be richer than them.

Alright, alright, take care of this trivial matter yourselves.

I’m eating hulu tou, don’t disturb me.”

After saying that, he hung up directly.

What a trivial matter, and they had to bother him during his meal.

At that moment, in Yancheng City.

Jin Tang’s hands and feet were trembling, and his face was extremely pale, almost bloodless.

“Really, is this really the case? Jiangnan’s Xiao Family is actually so terrifying, even the Ye Family, Bai Family, and Lin Family among the top ten Aristocratic Clans are his?

And the Yanzi Sect?

No wonder, no wonder Xiao Chen dares to challenge the Imperial Clan. With such strength, how could he not dare to challenge?”

Jin Tang was terrified.

Everything else was tolerable, but Yanzi Sect is one of the eight major sects of the Western Territory.

Although it’s rumored that Yanzi Sect’s headquarters was recently taken over by the Hades Association, it’s unclear if it’s true.

Besides, the four king swallows of Yanzi Sect are still around. Just one swallow could claim his life.

What kind of monster had he offended?

“I must remind you, don’t provoke this Xiao Chen. He’s definitely a madman. Even the Young Master of the Imperial Clan was beaten up by him, and yet nothing happened!

Think about it, what does this all mean?

Plus, it’s said that the Zhou Family and Shangguan Family might have all been destroyed by Jiangnan’s Xiao Family.

Although it’s just a rumor, there’s no doubt that Jiangnan’s Xiao Family had a conflict with the Shangguan Family and Zhou Family back then.

In the end, those two top Aristocratic Clans were wiped out.

And Jiangnan’s Xiao Family entered the Capital City.”

Gulp!

Jin Tang swallowed hard, feeling like he was sleepwalking, slightly dizzy.

His heart seemed to no longer belong to him, numbed.

He became numb from being unable to accept such fear.

“Old Jin, don’t tell me you have offended that Xiao Chen, right?”

The person on the other end of the phone was already trembling: “Don’t say you know me, or else, if you die, I’ll die too.”

“No! No! It’s just that Xinmeng Group has come to the Western Territory, and that Xiao Chen also came, so I just wanted to inquire and see how to handle it!”

Jin Tang replied with a smile.

But his smile was uglier than crying.

He felt he was really wise. Thankfully, he had warned Jin Sansheng in advance not to provoke Xiao Chen and Xinmeng Group anymore.

Although there had been conflicts, there’s still time to apologize now. Even if it means kneeling, it’s worth it. He absolutely couldn’t let one stupid decision ruin the Jin Family!
