Free Web NovelChapter 175: Chapter 175: New Assistant Sun Miaomiao _1
Sun Miaomiao immediately became interested and hurriedly asked, "Which company?"
In the time that followed, Ye Ming told Sun Miaomiao about the business of Spirit Spring Water.
When she learned that the once-trendsetting Spirit Spring Water was produced by Ye Ming, Sun Miaomiao was incredibly shocked.
After the introduction, Ye Ming asked, "What do you think? Are you willing to join us under the pretense?"
"After you join us, the work may be a bit tough, but you don’t have to worry about salary. The pay I give you will definitely be more than what Chen Fu offers."
"You can also take this fifty million with peace of mind."
Sun Miaomiao did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed, "You trusting me is something I’m more than happy about!"
"For now, follow Lin Bingqing and assist her with her work. Once you’re familiar with the company’s system, you’ll be given other, more important tasks," Ye Ming said. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
And just like that, the business of Spirit Spring Water in Yanjing had another core member.
Ye Ming had absolute trust in Sun Miaomiao’s character and could confidently entrust her with handling some important matters, which would significantly reduce Lin Bingqing’s work pressure.
After dealing with these matters, Ye Ming then sequestered himself once more.
The Martial Artist Competition was drawing ever closer, with less than five days remaining.
In such a short time, it was difficult for Ye Ming to break through from Superior Mystical Rank to Earth Rank, so he decided to focus on studying the Sky-shattering Stone Technique and try to comprehend it to the third level.
Reaching the third level would mean Ye Ming’s control over True Qi would become even more adept, and the speed of the True Qi circulating within his body would significantly increase as well.
As time passed, the Martial Artist Competition that shook the whole of Yanjing finally arrived as scheduled.
Because the event was jointly organized by the Yanjing Martial Arts Association and Yanjing Martial Department, the venue used was the largest stadium in Yanjing.
In the very center of the stadium, a huge ring had been set up, with dozens of cameras installed.
These cameras could capture the entire process of the competition without any blind spots in a 360-degree view.
Many partitions were set up in the spectator seats around the arena to serve as makeshift boxes for various families to watch the competition.
From these boxes, one could also have a perfect view of the entire battle.
In the box of the Li Family, an old man with white hair sat nonchalantly, a beautiful woman with a perfect figure beside him.
As if no one else was around, he wandered his hands over the woman’s body, his expression one of great enjoyment.
Li Kai and his son, Li Chaofan, sat on the other side.
Li Kai had already lost interest in women; all his attention was focused on how to kill Ye Ming.
In a lowered voice, he asked his father, "Dad, is this old man the expert you spent three billion to hire?"
"Why do I feel he’s unreliable? He’s practically a lecher."
Li Chaofan explained, "How can you say that about Master Sun? Master Sun has long been a famous Great Grandmaster with strong abilities; he just has some unique hobbies, but his strength is beyond doubt."
The white-haired old man, named Sun Chang, was a Great Grandmaster with a long-standing reputation in the martial world. The main reason for his widespread fame was because of his lecherous nature.
Apart from practicing and fighting, he was obsessed with the pleasures of women.
Many people disapproved of him, but they couldn’t beat him, so they had no choice but to tolerate his behavior.
Sun Chang smiled indifferently; the conversation of the father and son before him had long been heard by him, and he said, "You all just relax, a junior who has just started growing is no trouble for me at all—it won’t take much effort to deal with him!"
"Three billion, I’m not taking it for nothing. Even if it’s not for the money, I have to do it for my reputation."
Li Chaofan curled his lips, cursing under his breath, "Does this old geezer even have a reputation to speak of anymore? It’s already ruined beyond repair."
But on the surface, he still kept a cheerful facade and said, "Master Sun, when you make your move later, make sure to be ruthless. I want that kid Ye Ming to be half dead."
"It would be best if you could make him taste the pain of cutting off his lineage!"
"As long as the task is accomplished, I am willing to give you another two billion as a reward."
Sun Chang flashed an OK sign, his heart filling with even more joy.
To earn five billion just for disciplining a junior was simply too easy.
After that, he continued to fondle the woman beside him. If the Li father and son were not around, who knows what other inappropriate things the old man might get up to.
The woman, although disgusted, did not dare show any signs of dissatisfaction on her face—after all, she had taken the money.
On the other side of the Li family’s private room, Xu Lele and Xia Ningning sat together, anxiously searching their surroundings for Ye Ming. But no matter how much they searched, they couldn’t even find a single hair of his.
"Ningning, do you think Ye Ming might have overslept?"
Xu Lele said worriedly.
Xia Ningning laughed helplessly and replied, "Lele, look at the occasion, how could Ye Ming possibly have overslept?"
"If he really did oversleep, then there’s no helping him. We’ve been waiting so long just for this day, how could he be so careless?"
"But..." Xu Lele couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild at the absence of Ye Ming, imagining all the possible things that could have happened.
On the contrary, Xu Zhendong and Xu Xincheng, father and son, sat on one side very calmly. They were here to enjoy the competition and seemed completely unconcerned about anything else.
Sitting next to them were Jiang Long and his assistant, the vice president of the Martial Artist Association, and a woman with a frosty demeanor.
Her name was Wang Yating, a member of the Yanjing Martial Department. Sitting in the same private room as Jiang Long, it goes without saying that her position within the Martial Department was not low. frёeωebɳovel.com
Although her beauty was unparalleled, she always bore a distant demeanor, preventing people from getting close, leaving them to only admire from afar.
...
There were only five minutes left until the Martial Artist Conference officially began.
In the spectator seats, there was one more person deeply concerned about Ye Ming’s whereabouts—naturally, it was Lin Mengdie of the Mingxuan Pavilion.
She looked around, her brows furrowed. After searching for a long time without seeing Ye Ming show up, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
"That coward, could he really have been too scared to come?"
Their first meeting was very brief, but ever since they parted, the image of Ye Ming occasionally reappeared in Lin Mengdie’s mind.
She had been eagerly awaiting the start of the Martial Artist Conference, and despite waiting so long, she still hadn’t seen Ye Ming, which made her somewhat angry.
Liang Hao heard Ye Ming’s name from his junior sister once again, and a surge of irritation rose within him.
Ever since she had met Ye Ming, Lin Mengdie kept mentioning his name, and each time she did, it felt like a knife twisting in Liang Hao’s heart.
He quickly advised, "Ye Ming is nothing but a loser. Why should junior sister keep mentioning his name? He’s not worthy!"
"These past few days, junior sister has been so preoccupied with him that you can’t even eat or drink properly. What’s the point of that?"
