“Oh? What do you mean by that?”

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. Li Ziqing had been out and about, making so much money?

Li Ziqing smiled triumphantly and said, "I have already spread your business throughout Jiangbei. Before long, your total assets will at least double!"

When Qi Tianhu handed over the business to Chen Xiao, Li Ziqing told him that those assets were worth 30 billion.

And Li Ziqing only took a little over a month to double the total assets. Wouldn't that mean that they now amounted to 60 billion?

Although Chen Xiao knew that the Ye family, the richest family in Jiangcheng, had assets exceeding 100 billion long ago, he was still slightly shocked when he learned that his assets might reach as high as 60 billion.

However, he was only slightly shocked, and then he became numb.

After all, there was too much money. For Chen Xiao, 100 million might be the same as 60 billion—both were amounts he could never spend!

However, he still sincerely praised Li Ziqing, "Ziqing, you are amazing. How did you do it?"

"No, no, no, it's not that I'm amazing, it's that you're amazing. I was able to earn so much, all thanks to you."

Li Ziqing shook her little head and said.

Chen Xiao was confused. "How did it become my credit? I didn't do anything!"

Li Ziqing said, "You didn't put in any effort, but your name did! Chen, the big boss of Jiangbei, so impressive! Wherever I went, people begged and scrambled to cooperate with me, so I had no choice but to go with the flow. Otherwise, why do you think I was away on business for so long before coming back!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly.

This was truly a case of a person's fame casting its shadow. Originally, becoming famous was just unintentional, but he didn't expect it to bring him so many benefits.

But thinking of Li Ziqing running from one city to another so tirelessly, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"Take a good rest this time after coming back. Don't work so hard. You can never earn enough money. It's not worth it to ruin your health."

Hearing Chen Xiao's warm words, Li Ziqing felt sweetness in her heart. She said, "I'm not working hard, and this is what I like to do anyway, just like you like being a doctor. I like making money. Besides, if my body breaks down, I still have you, right, Dr. Chen!"

"Then do you need Dr. Chen to give you a massage?"

Chen Xiao asked with a mischievous smile.

"You're going to do it again..."

Li Ziqing's pretty face turned red. At this moment, she suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, I forgot to tell you something. Guess who I ran into on the plane back?"

Without even trying to guess, Chen Xiao asked, "Who?"

In fact, Chen Xiao had already guessed who it was, because the only person who could make Li Ziqing so excited and who they both knew was Song Anran.

Sure enough, he heard Li Ziqing say, "Who else could it be but Song Anran? You definitely guessed it, but you're pretending!"

"What do I have to pretend with you? Besides, she left without even telling me. What does her coming back have to do with me?"

Chen Xiao said, pretending to be relaxed.

Actually, hearing Song Anran's name, Chen Xiao's heart couldn't help but flutter a little, but naturally, he wouldn't show it in front of Li Ziqing.

Li Ziqing rolled her eyes. "What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? I think she came back this time to find you..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. If she was looking for me, she would have called me already. I haven't received her call!"

"Come on, let me give you a massage!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao mounted her and ended the conversation.

…

The next day, the sun was high in the sky, but Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing were still snuggling in bed.

He had already told Li Dafu that he wouldn't be going to the hospital today and that he should handle things himself if anything came up.

Chen Xiao planned to take a few days off to spend time with Li Ziqing.

Li Ziqing had only fallen into a deep sleep close to dawn and was now sleeping soundly.

Chen Xiao lay beside her, feeling an indescribable sense of peace in his heart.

Perhaps this was the greatest joy of being a mortal. After becoming an immortal, in the long river of time, immortals would have long forgotten their emotions and desires. Perhaps the only people they still loved were themselves.

Li Ziqing had really been exhausted these past few days. She didn't wake up groggily until it was already dark.

Chen Xiao had stayed with her until nightfall. Seeing her wake up, he personally went to the kitchen and cooked her a bowl of noodles.

A bowl of plain noodles with a fried egg and a few green leafy vegetables floating on top looked incredibly appetizing.

Li Ziqing even peeled two cloves of garlic and buried them in the noodles. Eating noodles without garlic was only half as good!

After they had eaten dinner together, they were about to go for a walk when Chen Xiao's phone suddenly rang.

Chen Xiao took it out and glanced at it, then hung up directly.

"Why did you hang up? Was it a woman calling?"

Li Ziqing asked with a vigilant look.

"It was a woman calling, but I didn't want to answer. If she's looking for me, it must be trouble..."

The call was from Luo Qian. Chen Xiao knew that if it wasn't for some trouble, this girl would never call him.

But as soon as Chen Xiao hung up, Luo Qian called again persistently. Chen Xiao hung up again, steeling his heart.

After she called three times in a row, even Li Ziqing couldn't stand it anymore. "Oh, just answer it. What if she's calling you about something urgent?"

"Alright then."

When Luo Qian called again, Chen Xiao reluctantly answered the phone.

"Brother Chen, you finally answered the phone. I know you're angry about what happened yesterday, but you have to help us this time. Something big has happened!"

Chen Xiao frowned. "What big thing?"

"There are, there are ghosts... or rather, zombies, or vampires... Now, our Evil Exorcism Division has suffered heavy losses and is about to collapse!"

On the other end of the phone, Luo Qian said anxiously.

"Zombies?"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned and quickly asked, "Where are you?"

"We're at the Moonlight Football Field. Many of my teammates have been injured, sob sob sob, Brother Chen, I beg you, please come quickly..."

Luo Qian begged bitterly, and as she spoke, she started crying.

"I'm sorry, Ziqing, I have to go out for a bit now. I can't keep you company."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao said apologetically.

Li Ziqing stared blankly at Chen Xiao. "Chen Xiao, what exactly are you doing now? What did you just say, zombies? Are you filming a movie?"

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly. "It's not filming a movie."

"Then do you mean real zombies? Like in the movies?"

Li Ziqing didn't know whether she should be scared or excited.

"I'm not sure either. I have to go take a look first..."

"Okay, then be careful. I'll wait for you to come back!"

"Yeah, you be careful too. Lock all the doors and windows. If anything happens, call me immediately. I'll come back as soon as possible."

Chen Xiao didn't know what kind of thing Luo Qian was talking about when she said "zombie," but listening to her anxious voice, he knew that this matter was not simple.

Chen Xiao wasn't worried about his mother's side. With Gu Zhendong and Gongsun Yi there, his mother would be fine, so after Chen Xiao gave Li Ziqing a few instructions, he hurried off into the night.
