CHAPTER 1166: CHAPTER 1166: BETROTHAL? (THIRD UPDATE)

The Universal Elixir has become a prized commodity. The Hundred Herb Pills left by Ye Qiu were melted into thousands of bottles of Universal Elixir, but even with buyers from Huaxia and around the world, they were still not enough to sell.

Resulting in a nearly sold-out situation within just a month. If Shen Mengchen hadn’t timely stopped the sales, they would have rapidly sold out.

In the following months, Shen Mengchen adopted an auction model because the Universal Elixir was indeed running low.

With auctions held worldwide, Longjia Group became famous across the globe, allowing many who didn’t know of Longjia Group to recognize this newly emerged enterprise for the first time.

Thus, in just half a year, Longjia Group’s stock soared, rising all the way up, creating a legend in stock history, almost catching up with business giants like Tengxun and Ali.

The entire Longjia Group staff was delighted because Shen Mengchen early on implemented a share distribution system, making each Longjia employee hold a little bit of shares. Although these shares were not much, under Longjia’s market value reaching hundreds of billions, those tiny shares were worth millions.

This also made all of Longjia Group’s employees fight for Longjia like they were pumped with adrenaline.

The atmosphere throughout Longjia was vibrant, even Wang Jiahao, a director at Hengye Group, couldn’t help but admire Shen Mengchen’s move, truly activating the whole enterprise. Currently, Longjia’s multi-aspect, all-around development leaves its former competitors unable to keep pace.

"Longjia’s success today owes much to you too. Here’s ten billion Huaxia Currency for you," Shen Mengchen said, suddenly pulling out a bank card from her pocket.

Ye Qiu held the bank card between his fingers, chuckling: "Thank you for Miss Shen’s reward."

"It’s me who should be thankful. The value of selling just the Universal Elixir exceeds ten billion, but this is just a small amount to you. If not for your Universal Elixir, Longjia wouldn’t have gained global attention. Currently, I’m planning to expand the group’s strategy, taking the enterprise’s development worldwide," Shen Mengchen said, revealing her ambition to build a super business empire. Who would have thought that such a big dream would reside in the body of such a slender girl, seeking to grow Longjia across the world?

Even the Condejill family doesn’t have such a scale, but Ye Qiu looked forward to Shen Mengchen realizing her dream with her own hands.

Shen Mengchen was right. The Universal Elixir created by Ye Qiu is worth definitely more than ten billion, having sold for forty to fifty billion so far, with ten billion given to Ye Qiu being nothing.

Ye Qiu nowadays wasn’t too concerned about money, but he didn’t mind more either, after all, having money is useful at times.

"Haha... You’re a money grubber, don’t lose it," Shen Mengchen laughed watching Ye Qiu’s eyes light up looking at the bank card.

"I have some Hundred Herb Pills here, you can take them," Ye Qiu magically produced five bottles of Hundred Herb Pills, which he had refined before leaving ancient lands, having gathered many herbs, to avoid wasting them.

Shen Mengchen immediately smiled and put them away. These are good things; wealthy people worldwide are bidding for them.

Ye Qiu stayed at the Longjia Headquarters for a while, then went to the Shangguan family.

He wanted to know if Shangguan Mingyue had returned from abroad, after all, he hadn’t seen this fairy-like beauty for more than a year.

Upon learning of Ye Qiu’s arrival, the old Shangguan immediately stood up to greet him.

"Old master, your health is still so robust," Ye Qiu remarked, observing the old Shangguan who seemed unchanged from a year ago, still hale and hearty.

"Isn’t it thanks to your high medical skills, Little Ye? Ever since your treatment, I haven’t felt any aches anywhere, and I’m feeling younger every day," the old Shangguan laughed.

"Alright, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Let’s play a game," Ye Qiu suggested.

Ye Qiu smiled slightly: "Okay, it’s been a long time since I’ve played chess with you, my hands are itching."

The masters of the Shangguan family were already accustomed to this, knowing that their old master enjoys this. Seeing him so happy today, it’s evident Ye Qiu has a significant place in the old master’s heart.

Shangguan Dao was serving tea, and nowadays, Shangguan Dao no longer felt temperamental toward Ye Qiu, given that Ye Qiu’s achievements reached his ears, each one leaving his mind shaken.

Eliminate the Luosha Sect.

Assume the position of the Dragon Group’s Clan Leader.

The youngest major general in history.

The rising star of the Capital City, respected as Mr. Ye, even affecting the rise and fall of the four big families.

Any one of these accomplishments is enough to stir anyone, and looking at the young man sitting opposite his grandfather, Shangguan Dao realized that the young man he once ignored had now reached a point he needs to look up to.

With that thought, Shangguan Dao felt a bit bitter, realizing how vast the gap was between himself and Ye Qiu.

"Perhaps letting him marry my sister wouldn’t be a bad thing," Shangguan Dao thought of his sister Shangguan Hong, who seemed to have particular feelings for Ye Qiu.

Yet immediately, Shangguan Dao furrowed his brows, recalling his aunt Shangguan Mingyue, sensing she also seemed to have a unique attitude toward Ye Qiu.

Could it be letting this guy marry both his sister and aunt?

The more Shangguan Dao thought about it, the more his head hurt. That wouldn’t do; it’s too much a favor for this lad.

While Shangguan Dao was idly worrying, Ye Qiu, playing chess with the old Shangguan, was entirely unaware of the future sect leader of the Shangguan family thinking about these random things.

Playing chess and chatting with the old Shangguan, time passed quickly.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu asked about Shangguan Mingyue, and the old Shangguan showed a hint of helplessness because Shangguan Mingyue had still not returned and continued her exploration somewhere in the world.

Ye Qiu could only comfort the old Shangguan, who frankly hoped Shangguan Mingyue would marry, so this father could have peace of mind instead of watching his youngest daughter roaming the world alone without a man to shield her, which is not ideal.

A woman must have someone to rely on.

"Little Ye, I mentioned this last time, do you remember?" The old Shangguan’s words prompted Ye Qiu to recall their previous conversation while playing chess, where the old matter was about taking care of Shangguan Mingyue, making Ye Qiu feel a bit embarrassed at the time.

"How could I forget your words, old master?" Ye Qiu replied.

"It’s good you remember, but rest assured, I will not force you. The most important thing is your mutual feelings. I hope you both can achieve a good relationship," the old Shangguan smiled.

Ye Qiu laughed, seemingly indicating the intent to have Shangguan Mingyue matched with him.

Shangguan Dao, listening nearby, was surprised, not expecting his grandfather to want to pair Ye Qiu with Shangguan Mingyue.

"Then what about my sister?" Shangguan Dao frowned, contemplating Ye Qiu becoming his uncle by marriage.
