Chapter 73: The Lady CEO

That night, the auditing work concluded at eleven o’clock.

It was finally determined that apart from the fifty-million loan from Yun City Commercial Bank, Dinghui Pharmaceuticals had no other outstanding debts.

After confirming this, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Zhang Wenhao had thought one hundred and fifty million would be enough to crush Ye Chen, but he hadn’t anticipated Ye Chen resolving Zhou Shaoyuan’s one hundred million loan through his network.

...

Ma Xun’s defeat lay in his total lack of intention to defend Zaoyang, coupled with his vain hope that Liang’s army would let the Tanzhou troops retreat. Caught unprepared, he suffered a one-sided massacre at the hands of Liang’s heavy cavalry.

Fan Xiaoying’s face was full of grievance. She understood that Chu Yang spoke the truth, yet she still felt wronged.

Whenever he began to teach seriously, Blindfish would start roaring at him. The ignorant Li Yonghao was like a blank piece of white parchment. Li Yonghao howled time after time; besides enduring it and gradually learning, there was nothing else he could do.

He didn’t know whether the Third Prince had the patience to wait for him to return to the mansion at night, discuss the salt laws of the previous dynasty thoroughly with the strategist, and then write an essay to present.

After these two days of leisure, Qingmu’s tense mood had relaxed quite a bit. Lying in bed, Qingmu thought about Lan Xian, that unstable element; though anxious, she was not truly worried. After all, Lan Ximo had not entered the company yet, everything was different from her previous life, so that incident would not happen again.

Qiu Kai, that useless man, was not worth mourning. But the next tidal node was unpredictable. If Qiu Kai was not saved, then all his arrangements on Earth would fall behind others.

A deep gaze flickered with faint light. Ye Jiayin let out a soft hum, as if lost in thought.

As she spoke, the strength in her hand gradually increased, pressing forward bit by bit.

He had little knowledge of these living plants. The white-flowered snake tongue grass was particularly precious among spiritual herbs; a single stalk cost three hundred spirit stones.

Ancient city gates were closed at night and reopened the next day, unless there was an emergency. The reason was indeed fear of enemy raids under cover of darkness.

Tom stared blankly at the broken “God of Luck,” not even noticing that the wine glass he was polishing slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor.

He was born with a body attuned to the five elements; receiving this pure true energy, his power soared instantly. Although his realm remained at the Heart Awakening Stage, he could now ignore the massive ghost claws of the Nascent Soul Stage and successfully neutralize them.

Zhou Zhe felt himself teetering on the verge of breakdown. He wanted to escape; he simply could not bear to face all this.

As he spoke, Calamity manifested its powers, and a flurry of energy whips struck at Daisy. Though Daisy did her best to dodge, she was still bound tightly by several energy whips.

“The tribal chiefs of Rose Valley have arrived. They’re outside Lion City. I wonder if Lord Macbeth is preparing to go out and greet them,” said Sir Edgar Fire Shield, in fact reminding Macbeth.

Boarding went smoothly, and the first-class service was impeccable. Since November was not peak season, the cabin wasn’t full, allowing Hao Yun rare peace and quiet.

He was puzzled: only Mouse’s clothes were on the ground—Mouse himself was nowhere to be seen—yet he felt a surge of spiritual energy belonging to a living being beneath the earth.

Amended Condition Three: Whenever the host captures or kills an enemy of monarch level, the system will introduce a character crossover to maintain system balance.

I was momentarily speechless. Indeed, I knew this Olympic bid would fail, but I had a nagging worry—what if history did not follow its old path?
