Chapter 50 Taking a Job

Huang Wenlong blurted out all his demands in one breath.
Chen Wenjun was somewhat tempted and asked, "How many people do you have?"
"Including myself, around twenty-five. Only half came today, and the rest stayed behind to keep an eye on the site. We have to head right back as soon as we finish eating. The next project is pretty much the same, also twenty to thirty people."
"Um... can I go back and discuss it with my wife, and give you an answer later?"
After all, I am your premium VIP here, not to mention I just spent tens of millions with you today.
It was fortunate that the two parents were so thoughtful. Having roughly guessed that such a thing might happen, they started chatting familiarly after getting out of the car.
Hearing this, Physician Li understood in his heart that the offer of assistance was fake, while the fear of him being bribed was real. Having a few more imperial physicians would prevent any single person's verdict from causing boundless harm—something quite common in the palace. Therefore, Physician Li did not harbor any other thoughts.
"You talk too much nonsense! Watch how I crush you!" With that, Yin Rizhao threw an uppercut, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind.
The Ottomans had threatened him more than once; by comparison, this Pedro was much kinder.
The Empress Dowager was the softest-hearted person. Because of Honghui, she was also very familiar with Ji Yingxin. Over the past few months, Ji Yingxin had come to pay her respects every single day, melting even a heart of stone, let alone the Empress Dowager's. Seeing Ji Yingxin struggling to hold back her grief as she paid her respects, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but give in.
"You think this is fine? Do you know that what you did made my cousin very unhappy?" he asked coldly.
Whether it was the decoration and furnishings of the Cheng family's home, the attire of the Cheng family members, or the information revealed through their words and actions, all of it told her that the Cheng family lived at the standard of an ordinary household. Even if they had savings, it wouldn't be much.
Xiu Ruimeng's face turned red again. Wanting to deny that she had done it, yet fearing they might let their imaginations wander elsewhere, she simply bit the bullet and tacitly accepted the blame.
Cuiyu placed the incense table in position, and the concubines first stood in rows to the side. A short while later, the First Mistress straightened her attire and came out of the room, lighting a full bundle of incense in the courtyard's burner. She bowed deeply toward the empty sky, and the concubines followed suit one after another, each murmuring incantations under her breath.
To flourish together, to suffer together. If the First Prince ran into trouble, the people of Beixiao would also feel uneasy.
Therefore, Xiao Anli had no other choice but to rebel. Emperor Jianguang had always been wary of the Xiao family precisely because they held such an army in their hands. It was only because Emperor Jianguang wanted to weaken the influence of Dongxiao that he granted him so much authority.
At this moment, the two of them felt as though they had returned to their childhood, chatting and laughing freely, leaving nothing unsaid, their faces radiating a warmth rarely seen before.
Tang Yuwei was still unconscious and remained on an intravenous drip. Her paralyzed leg had been temporarily saved through emergency treatment, but as for when that paralyzed state would regain sensation, it was hard to say.
The activation progress had already exceeded 70%. If it proceeded at the current pace and matched the surge of demonic energy, it should barely be in time.
Qiling and Qizhuo widened their eyes more and more, to the point where they almost seemed ready to pop out of their sockets.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, and a flurry of chaotic blows can beat an experienced master. When Xia Xinyan devised her strategies and coordinated the strength of a thousand people, Keda was directly dizzy with confusion, his eyes flashing brilliantly under the continuous barrage of dazzling attacks.
Unfortunately, before the two exquisitely crafted and magnificently carved fragrant nanmu doors, a massive bronze general stood guard.
The man surnamed Li had already been specifically targeted by Tang Zhen and suffered the heaviest injuries. At this moment, provoked to extreme fury by Tang Zhen's words, he spurted a mouthful of fresh blood.
Sea of Clouds Valley, as the name suggests, was a valley perpetually shrouded in mist and surrounded by towering mountains. After a night of wind and snow, the outer areas of the Sea of Clouds Valley became a world in a single shade of white, vast and hazy, looking both ethereal and extraordinarily beautiful.
