“Xin’er, that’s Big Bro Tang Hao that I’ve told you before,” Zhao Qingxue whispered to the girl.
Lil Xin’er looked at Tang Hao with her big eyes and blinked.
She was shy with strangers and only greeted him after a long while, “Big Bro Tang Hao!”
Tang Hao smiled and sat down between her and Commissioner Xia.
“How are things in Provincial City, Lil Bro Tang?
“Looks like there’s an upheaval in Provincial City. There’s always something major happening. Haven’t you heard? Even the Province Secretary is in trouble now, and there are multiple people involved in it too. What a mess!” Commissioner Xia looked emotional as he said that.
Tang Hao was feeling a little awkward.
Zhao Wuyang’s expression was even more awkward.
“Yes, it’s quite a mess!” Tang Hao said as he lowered his head pensively.
Zhao Wuyang rolled his eyes. ‘What a liar. It’s all because of him.’
“I’ve also heard that something is going on with the superintendent at the city police station. We’re so lucky that nothing is going on here,” Commissioner Xia said emotionally.
Then, he turned to look at Zhao Qingxue.
“To be honest, I’m sad that Lil Zhao is leaving us. Many of the single men in the police station will be crying lonely tears once she’s gone,” Commissioner Xia said with a smile.
“Commissioner!” Zhao Qingxue glared at him.
Commissioner Xia broke into hearty laughter.
The dishes were soon served, and everyone ate happily.
Zhao Qingxue shows a lot more restraint this time. She did not drink too much, though her face was slightly red at the end of the party.
Tang Hao drank quite a lot, though he could never become drunk.
The people parted ways at the end of the party.
Commissioner Xia and Captain Zhou said goodbye to Tang Hao and returned to the police station.
Zhao Wuyang left to catch the train. He was due to return to Provincial City that day.
Finally, Tang Hao and Zhao Qingxue were alone in the room. They left the restaurant together.
Zhao Qingxue was dressed casually. She wore a light beige woolen top and a tight-fitting pair of jeans, which allowed her to flaunt her long legs and shapely butt.
Her impeccable looks and excellent curves attracted everyone’s attention on the street.
“When are you leaving?” Tang Hao asked after walking for some distance.
“I’ll still be around tomorrow, and will be leaving the day after tomorrow. I will have to report to my new post the day after that,” Zhao Qingxue said.
Then, she smiled. “I’ll have to thank you for all this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to join the provincial headquarters that fast.
“You happen to be studying at Provincial City, and I think we’ll meet again someday. Sometimes I might need your help too.”
The two people continued chatting as they walked along the street.
Soon, they saw a car driving along the road toward them. It was heading in the direction of the restaurant, but it suddenly braked next to them. The car door opened, and a bookish-looking young man in glasses and a suit came out.
He quickly walked over with an excited look on his face.
“Qingxue!”
He shouted from some distance away. He seemed eager and excited.
Zhao Qingxue furrowed her brows and sighed helplessly when she saw him.
Tang Hao was surprised. He examined that man for a while and seemed to understand something.
“Why is he here?” Zhao Qingxue mumbled as she massaged her temples.
“What about it? He doesn’t look bad!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“It’s not that. I don’t have any feelings for him. Unfortunately, he’s a little too friendly. He’s been pursuing me from Provincial City.
“That guy’s name is Jiang Yunbo. He’s from the provincial headquarters, and my family is trying to match him together with me. He’s also from a family of police officers, and our families are close friends.” Zhao Qingxue leaned toward Tang Hao and said softly with furrowed brows.
She sounded as though she was grumbling.
The young man soon arrived in front of them. His eyes were transfixed on Zhao Qingxue.
“Is the party already over? Come, let me send you home! When are you going to Provincial City? I can fetch you there,” Jiang Yunbo said with an eager smile.
Zhao Qingxue’s expression was as cold as a glacier. “There’s no need! He’ll fetch me home. I’ve also bought my train ticket to Provincial City!”
Jiang Yunbo’s expression stiffened.
However, he was used to being rejected and soon resumed his calm composure. He glanced at Tang Hao.
“Qingxue, he is…?” He asked.
Zhao Qingxue lifted his hand and, without warning, pulled Tang Hao’s arm close to hers.
Tang Hao stumbled. The two people were leaning intimately against each other as though they were lovers.
Tang Hao was confused and did not react for some time.
Zhao Qingxue smiled sweetly. “Can’t you see for yourself? He’s my boyfriend! Isn’t that obvious?”
She held Tang Hao’s hand tightly and looked at him lovingly.
Jiang Yunbo was both confused and stunned.
Tang Hao was confused and stunned too.
‘What the hell? What’s going on?’
Then, he came to his senses. He was being used as a pretend boyfriend!
He reflexively pulled his hand back, but Zhao Qingxue grabbed it tightly. While he struggled, his elbow bumped into something soft.
A shiver went up Tang Hao’s spine. He dared not move another inch.
His face turned as red as a tomato all of a sudden

Zhao Qingxue’s face turned red as well.
However, she continued to hold Tang Hao’s hand and pretended to be intimate.
“Can’t you cooperate a little?” She leaned over and whispered into Tang Hao’s ear.
Tang Hao was helpless. He forced a smile on his face.
Jiang Yunbo eventually came to his senses, though he still looked incredulous.
‘These two people can’t be a pair! The kid looks like a teenager. How could Qingxue be together with him?’
His expression darkened. “Even if you don’t like me, you don’t have to lie to me, Qingxue! Can’t you find at least someone more believable to be your pretend boyfriend?
“How old is this kid? I bet that he’s still a student!”
The envy was strong in Jiang Yunbo’s eyes as he saw the two of them being so close together.
“You’d better believe it, Jiang Yunbo. He really is,” Zhao Qingxue said coldly.
“Hmph! How is that possible? A few days ago, you did not have a boyfriend. How did you suddenly get one in just a few days?” Jiang Yunbo said angrily.
“We met a few days ago. We’ve already touched and kissed, and we’re on our way to home base. Now, do you believe me?” Zhao Qingxue said.
The corner of Tang Hao’s mouth twitched when he heard that.
They had indeed kissed, but he was not the one who initiated it. Also, when did he touch her?
“Isn’t that so, my darling?” Zhao Qingxue leaned close and said coyly.
Tang Hao coughed lightly and nodded.
Jiang Yunbo was almost spewing fire when he saw that.
‘They’ve touched, kissed, and what’s left is the home base?’
That sentence had struck him like a lightning bolt.
“You… You…” He trembled with anger as he pointed a finger at Tang Hao, then pointed at Zhao Qingxue. His face was contorted.
“I don’t believe it! This is impossible!” He roared.
“You don’t believe me?” Zhao Qingxue smirked. She turned around, pulled Tang Hao over, and k
issed him on the lips.
Tang Hao was stunned again. His eyes opened round and wide.
‘F*ck, she really means it!’
His heart was burning with both ecstasy and agony. Any young man would be happy to be kissed by a woman as beautiful as Zhao Qingxue.
However, he was feeling guilty about the lie, and that had caused the agony.
Jiang Yunbo’s face was ashen when he saw the scene. His entire body trembled with anger.
‘Dammit, this shameless couple!’ He cursed in his heart and clenched his fists tight.
The couple did not show any signs of letting go of each other. He finally could not take it anymore and left the scene.
Zhao Qingxue took one big step back after he left. Her face was bright red.
She wiped her mouth with her hand and glared at Tang Hao. “Why are you looking at me like that? It’s not like you’ve lost anything. You won’t die if you get kissed anyway! I don’t mind it, so why should you?”
Tang Hao had no reply to that.
Officer Zhao was as brave as usual.
“Let me tell you, don’t have any stray thoughts, and don’t try to make any advances on me! I was just putting on an act when kissing you. It’s the same as last time!” Zhao Qingxue said.
Tang Hao could only nod.
“Good that you know! Let’s go. Send me home!”
Zhao Qingxue said as she turned around and left as fast as she could. Not only her face was red, but even her neck too.
Tang Hao went to his company after sending her home.
He received a call from Shabby Taoist Master that afternoon.
“Hey, Fellow Cultivator Tang! I’m here and I’ve brought all the ingredients for the pills. It’s an entire truck! Where’s your house? I’ll send it over!”
“Pfft!” Tang Hao did a spit take.
“An entire truck?”
“Yeah! We thought we needed two trucks but we managed to fit everything in one.”
Tang Hao was speechless.
How long would he need if he had to process an entire truck of herbs?
However, a promise was a promise. He gritted his teeth and agreed to it.
He asked for Shabby Taoist Master’s location, then went there and received all the herbs.
“All the best, Fellow Cultivator Tang! Remember to make my pills first!”
Shabby Taoist Master waves his hand and coolly left the place. Tang Hao remained standing there with a long face.
After fetching Sis Xiangyi home, Tang Hao started on his pill-making. He spent the entire night making pills non-stop.
The next morning, his eyes were bloodshot.
He handled some company matters in the day, then went home and continued making pills.
He spent five days and five nights making pills without sleeping and finally completed the entire order.
After making the last pill, he placed it in a bottle, then breathed a long sigh of relief and collapsed on the floor.
His face was ghastly pale and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked extremely haggard.
Pill-making expended a lot of qi and vitality. No matter how high his cultivation base might be, he would not be able to sustain it for too long.
Those five days and five nights were a living hell!
It was not all done in vain though. After the ordeal, his pill-making skills improved greatly.
He felt better after a good nap. Then, he gave Shabby Taoist Master a call.
Shabby Taoist Master had been waiting in Provincial City for the past few days. He immediately rushed over when he received the call and happily took the pills away.
“Thanks so much, Fellow Cultivator Tang!” Shabby Taoist Master said before he drove away.
Tang Hao slept again that night. The next morning, he had recovered most of his energy and he started working on improving the formula for the aphrodisiac.
First of all, he had to dilute the potion to reduce its potency. He had diluted it before, but it was still too potent.
He also enhanced the flavor of the potion.
Soon, the improved formula for the aphrodisiac was complete.
He concocted about a dozen potions according to the formula, then gave them to Liu Dajun, President Li, and the others to try.
Tang Hao received their replies that night.
“Your new potion is great, Lil Tang! The previous one was too strong. This one is milder, but the effects are still amazing. It’s still way better than Viagra,” Liu Dajun said excitedly.
“This potion will definitely sell well. We should price it cheaper than Viagra.”
President Li, Jin Biao, and the others were also satisfied with the potion’s potency.
After deciding on the recipe, Tang Hao went to the replica maker and ordered twenty bronze cauldrons to be used as qi gathering jars.
Liu Dajun and the rest made themselves busy with the paperwork.
Very soon, Masculine Wind Health Products Co. Ltd. was operational.
They had not managed to find a suitable manager, and Liu Dajun took over the position in the meantime. He also recruited some people he trusted. The company had a decent operational structure.
After that was to set up the plantations and production factories.
Tang Hao relied on Liu Dajun and the rest for that.
That evening, Tang Hao went to Sis Xiangyi’s clothing factory to fetch her from work.
When he arrived there, he noticed a sports car parked at the factory entrance. A figure was leaning against the car.
Chapter 303 - No Cure For Idiocy
Tang Hao was surprised when he saw the person in front of him.
The person was extremely attractive. He was tall, well-built, and had a sculpted face and long and wavy hair. He was dressed in a pure white suit.
You could even describe him as the perfect man.
His appearance was dazzling, as though his entire body sparkled.
Then, there was that incredibly cool sports car.
By now, Tang Hao was more well-versed in luxury cars. He could recognize that the car was a Pagani, one of the most luxurious sports cars in the world. Each of them cost tens of millions.
The female workers leaving the factory shrieked uncontrollably when they saw the impeccable combination of a handsome man and a sports car.
That person seemed to enjoy the attention. He casually waved at them.
Tang Hao smirked when he saw that. He thought that the guy was such a show-off.
Soon, he noticed that something was amiss. ‘This guy is parking his car in front of the factory. Don’t tell me he’s here to look for Sis Xiangyi?’
Tang Hao’s expression sank. He slowly drove over, then blared his horn.
That person looked around for the source of the noise. He glanced condescendingly at the A8.
The mere A8 was trash in his eyes. His Pagani was worth at least a dozen A8s.
He chuckled, then turned around and ignored it.
“Dammit!” Tang Hao was getting frustrated. He blared the horn again.
Beep beep!
The piercing noise of the horn was heard far and wide.
That person furrowed his brows frustratedly. He walked toward Tang Hao’s car and cursed. “Are you stupid? Why are you blaring your horn?
“Can’t you see that the road is so wide? Are you blind, or don’t you know how to drive? Dammit, are you trying to show off your stupid A8? No wonder, you’re just an uncultured Mainlander! Trash!”
That person was ruthless with his words. He even knocked hard on the car window.
‘Mainlander?’
Tang Hao was surprised by that appellation. Then, he understood that the person must be from Southport.
Southport people have a weird sense of superiority and think that they are somehow better than those from mainland Huaxia.
