Chen Zi'ang stood by, listening as Wang Zihao and his family discussed how to take revenge on Xu Hao. His facial muscles twitched twice and after a moment of contemplation, he finally spoke, reminding them, "Boss Wang, I must remind you that Xu Hao's strength should not be underestimated. Even I am not his match. I advise you to consider this matter carefully."

These were Chen Zi'ang's sincere words; he had previously exchanged blows with Xu Hao at the banquet hall. Despite using all his strength, Chen Zi'ang couldn't withstand even a single move from Xu Hao and was knocked down.

Such strength was not to be taken lightly, even within the entire China.

But at this moment, Wang Chengye and Wang Zihao, fueled by anger, were not receptive to Chen Zi'ang's words.

In their eyes, Chen Zi'ang was not truly considering the best interests of the Wang Family. Perhaps during the initial fight with Xu Hao, Chen Zi'ang hadn't given his all.

However, Wang Chengye still responded very politely, "Elder Chen, rest assured, we have many ways to deal with Xu Hao. If one person can't defeat him, can't 100 people do it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chengye turned to Wang Zihao, "Right, didn't you say that at the banquet, Mazi and Xu Hao also had a conflict? Good, later you should contact Grandpa Ma…"

A cunning smile appeared on Wang Zihao's lips, "Dad, you are ingenious, it's a great strategy to use someone else to do our dirty work!"

Mazi had been humiliated by Xu Hao at the banquet hall. Previously, with Liu Tianxiong backing Xu Hao, Mazi did not dare to make a move. But now, if the Wang Family decided to back Mazi, having a strong support behind him, Mazi might just confront Xu Hao directly.

Even if Mazi failed, the Wang Family would not lose much.

Chen Zi'ang watched helplessly as Wang Zihao and his father, Wang Chengye, discussed their plans and shook his head, only one thought running through his mind, "If you don't court death, you won't die!"

…

At the Liu Family Villa, Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan were lying in bed. Although neither of them moved, they couldn't fall asleep.

After dozens of minutes of silence, Liu Ruyan couldn't bear it anymore, turned around, and gently wrapped her arms around Xu Hao's neck, "Are you asleep?"

Xu Hao smiled slightly and grabbed Liu Ruyan's arm, "Not yet, what's up?"

Although Xu Hao didn't touch Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan felt somewhat disappointed but also secretly pleased. At least Xu Hao wasn't the type who was only interested in her body.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Hao asked back when Liu Ruyan hadn't responded for a long time.

Liu Ruyan sighed deeply, "I'm thinking about the company. Although we've acquired so much jadeite, our company faces another problem. We severely lack jadeite carving craftsmen, especially top-tier masters. Even if we offer high salaries in Jing'an, no one is willing to come!

I heard that Old Gu came to Jing'an yesterday and I was initially planning on meeting him, but unfortunately, I didn't run into him!"

Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat, "Old Gu? Are you talking about Elder Gu Junyi?"

"Yes, do you know him?" Since Liu Ruyan and others were outside dealing with matters when Xu Hao entered the inner trading hall, Liu Ruyan was unaware of the interactions between Xu Hao, Gu Junyi, and Zhao Feng.

Xu Hao nodded, "I met him yesterday. I sold him an antique worth 20 million. Elder Gu wanted to take me as his apprentice, but I refused!"

"What... you refused?" Liu Ruyan exclaimed, grabbing Xu Hao's arm, "What a great opportunity, and you refused it!" This chapter was uploaded by the team at *.

Besides being a master of antique appraisal, Gu Junyi was also a jade carving expert, one of the top in the country in this field.

Liu Ruyan initially felt regret but then considered that Xu Hao knew so many influential figures and had such immense energy, so refusing Elder Gu seemed natural.

"Heh, I don't have the time," Xu Hao responded, "By the way, wifey, have you ever considered moving the company to the provincial city? Although Jing'an is developing well, it's still a second-tier city. The provincial city of Huadu is different; it's essentially the center of the entire Southwest.

Relocating the company to Huadu would naturally improve our access to market information and talent!"

Liu Ruyan sighed deeply, "I've thought about it, of course, but the Liu family has been rooted in Jing'an for generations. We have no connections or relationships in the provincial city, making it difficult to establish there."

Xu Hao turned and gently pulled Liu Ruyan into his arms, "Don't worry, everything will be all right. Regarding the sculpting craftsmen, I'll try to contact Elder Gu tomorrow and see if he can help."

"Thank you, husband!" Liu Ruyan nestled closer into Xu Hao's arms, and the two embraced each other to sleep, spending a quiet night.

The next morning, Xu Hao drove his flashy Aston Martin to drop Liu Ruyan off at her company, then planned to head to the resting room to revisit the knowledge of martial arts techniques in his mind.

Xu Hao's role was still that of a junior security guard, and he continued to clock in for work as usual, but now even if Xu wanted to perform the security duties, people like Sun Hao wouldn't dare to assign him to such tasks!

Xu Hao had just reviewed the knowledge for half an hour in his room when suddenly he received a call from Zhao Feng, "Brother Hao, it's me, Zhao Feng!"

"What's up?" Xu Hao highly regarded his brother Zhao Feng. Regardless of the situation or whether Zhao Feng could be of help, Zhao Feng always tried his best to stand by Xu Hao.

Previously, Xu Hao was weaker, but now his capabilities were obviously much stronger than Zhao Feng's. So, if Zhao Feng needed any help, Xu Hao would definitely lend a hand.

The tone of Zhao Feng on the other end of the phone seemed a bit downcast, "Ah, it's my parents! I clearly don't want to be in business, but my parents insist on me taking this path. Today, they arranged a gathering for me, said they want me to meet a big boss who will look out for me. How about you come with me and try to persuade my mom?"
