Free Web NovelChapter 113: Chapter 113 Adversities of Fate
Wang Hao thought to himself that a sum of a hundred thousand and some, in Chicheng County, was enough to pay in full for a reasonably large house. A company office renovated with so much money, wouldn’t it be imposing?
After completing all the procedures, Zhang Xuepin pulled Wang Hao aside, hoping to have a private chat with him.
Wang Hao knew what he wanted to talk about, so he brought him upstairs to Wang Hao’s private office.
"Mr. Wang, where have you arranged for Xiaowei to stay right now?"
Just as Wang Hao closed the door of the office, Zhang Xuepin couldn’t wait to ask.
"Rest assured, I’ve arranged for them to stay at the best hotel in Chicheng County. They have no worries about food and drink, so there’s no need for you to worry!"
Although Wang Hao didn’t particularly like Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, he still told them the truth.
"Could you let my wife and I meet Xiaowei before I leave?"
Zhang Xuepin looked at Wang Hao with a pleading expression.
"I’ve already told you before, this matter requires Xiaowei’s own consent. However, considering yesterday’s situation, I suggest you better not meet right now,"
Wang Hao thought for a moment and continued.
"Didn’t you say you would ask for leave from the chairman upon returning? When you come back next time, try to get along slowly, it might be better."
Zhang Xuepin felt somewhat dejected after hearing this but thought Wang Hao made some good points, so he did not insist further.
"Speaking of Xiaowei, I’m somewhat curious."
Wang Hao looked at Zhang Xuepin with a puzzled face.
"Given your current situation, you could provide Xiaowei with a better life, so why abandon him in the first place? And since you decided to give him up initially, why go to such lengths to find him now?"
"We abandoned Xiaowei initially out of desperation,"
Zhang Xuepin said with a sigh.
"Actually, we’re not natives; we came from a Mongolian country up north and crossed over by boat as stowaways. At the time, there was internal strife in our country, and many people fled here to avoid the war."
"But without any legal status, we could only roam around. Xiaowei was born under such conditions. We had absolutely no means to support him, and the child would have to wander with us, leading a life without a fixed abode."
"So we left all the money we had on the child and placed him on the busiest street, hoping that some kind-hearted person would adopt him, so he wouldn’t have to continue living a hard life with us."
"And as you know, stowaways like us with no status have a hard time finding work. If caught by the police, we could get deported, which would only make our situation worse."
Wang Hao could never have imagined that such a story existed in Zhang Xuepin’s past; it seemed they had had no choice but to abandon Xiaowei back then.
But if they didn’t have ID cards, how were they employed by Le Tian Group?
"Just a year ago, the chairman and his child went camping, and in a wilderness area, his child got bitten by a centipede. It was I who saved the chairman’s child, and out of gratitude, they helped us with the paperwork, and now both my wife and I are legal immigrants,"
Zhang Xuepin seemed to notice Wang Hao’s confusion and continued to explain.
"You’ve really been through a lot!"
Wang Hao was engrossed in listening, yet seeing how young Zhang Xuepin was, and with such deep knowledge of traditional medicine, Wang Hao couldn’t help but be curious about his background.
"Did you study traditional Chinese medicine in your own country?"
"To be exact, our family has been a family of traditional Chinese physicians for almost a thousand years,"
Zhang Xuepin continued. frёeωebɳovel.com
"Our family’s texts contain records of many rare herbs, especially with detailed accounts of the more valuable ones. I started reading these texts when I was ten."
Listening to Zhang Xuepin’s explanation, Wang Hao thought it all sounded quite plausible.
Because a year ago, the north indeed often experienced skies filled with war, and today, Wang Hao had witnessed Zhang Xuepin’s expertise in identifying traditional Chinese herbs, which was truly impressive!
So, what he said must all be true.
"So you’re from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners!"
Wang Hao smiled.
"Then I can ask for your advice on anything I don’t understand in the future."
"Mr. Wang, you have been kind to me; feel free to ask anything. I will also make sure to convey your message to the chairman, but the chairman is very careful and cautious in his dealings, so I can’t guarantee that he will definitely cooperate with you," Zhang Xuepin paused before continuing.
"I appreciate your taking care of Xiaowei over there."
"You can rest assured about Xiaowei’s matters!"
Wang Hao declared, patting his chest.
Zhang Xuepin checked the time; it was about time for him to hurry back to Le Tian Group and report the situation.
But before leaving, he still told Wang Hao a very important piece of information.
The national auction of traditional Chinese medicine collectibles would be held in three months, presided over by Old Peng, who was the same elder that had bought Lingzhi from Wang Hao last time.
Old Peng was from Zao City, and naturally, the auction would be held in Zao City.
Collecting traditional Chinese medicine wasn’t of much interest to Wang Hao, but the chairman of Le Tian Group would be personally attending the auction this time.
If Zhang Xuepin couldn’t persuade the chairman this time, the auction in three months would be a great opportunity.
"All right, the collectibles auction, I got it."
Wang Hao mentally noted the start date of the auction.
Regardless of whether Zhang Xuepin could persuade the chairman this time or not, Wang Hao felt he must attend this auction.
After seeing off Zhang Xuepin, Wang Hao sighed deeply; after being so busy, he was finally seeing some returns.
It wasn’t because he had received four million; that wasn’t the most exciting part.
The most thrilling aspect, of course, was the expansion of the market. In the future, he would earn much more—ten times, a hundred times, even thousands of times more than four million.
Originally he had wanted Su Zhenping to handle these matters, but Su Zhenping had insisted on staying in Chen Village and refused to leave, so Wang Hao had no choice but to step in himself. Fortunately, it had been a good start.
Xia Xue was also happy for Wang Hao; she rushed into his office and threw herself into his arms, shedding tears of excitement.
"Wang Hao, I’m so happy for you!"
"Xue’er, thank you! Why are you crying?" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Wang Hao gently caressed Xia Xue’s cheek, feeling her tender skin, and couldn’t help but kiss her. Then he slowly slid his tongue into Xia Xue’s enticing little mouth, stirring inside...
The two of them kissed passionately, Xia Xue clinging tightly to Wang Hao’s neck, her body pressed so close it almost seemed to melt into his.
Wang Hao held Xia Xue, allowing her delicate body to lean fully against his chest, his hands lifting her buttocks so that they pressed against him firmly.
His other hand brazenly kneaded her firm breasts, causing them to deform and squeeze out two deep ravines.
Wang Hao’s breathing became more and more rapid as his mind was consumed by desire, thinking only of quickly savoring the ultimate pleasure and joy that this wonderful body could provide.
So, his hand began to glide down along Xia Xue’s waist...
