Chapter 37 Luo Mingyue's Shyness
Xiao Yun saved himself and returned to the flower shop. Although his True Qi had recovered, he felt that he was still too weak. It seemed that in order to establish a foothold in this survival-of-the-fittest world, he needed to continuously strengthen his own abilities.
He knew that the Seven-Colored Heart Pearl given to him by the Old Man still contained many unexplored powers. Even the abilities he had manifested so far could not last without the support of True Qi; over time, they would gradually fade away.
For two consecutive days, Xiao Yun was busy cultivating in the bedroom behind the flower shop. Fortunately, Duan Qingxue kept bringing in new flower species, and the intoxicating fragrance of those flowers contained some Spiritual Energy, which he could absorb into his body, aiding his cultivation.
At this time, Xiao Yun had become a celebrity in Galaxy City, and Duan Qingxue was well aware of this. She regarded him with special attention. When she learned that some flowers in the shop were beneficial for his cultivation, she took extra care to collect rare and exotic plants and placed them around his bedroom, regardless of whether customers would want them; as long as they helped Xiao Yun, that was enough.
On the morning of the third day, Xiao Yun felt particularly energetic. He went to an open space in Mirror Lake Park and practiced a set of punches according to the various boxing techniques displayed by the Seven-Colored Heart Pearl in his mind. He didn't know what this boxing style was, but it sometimes proved very practical.
After finishing a round of punches, Xiao Yun suddenly remembered that he had promised to arrange a job for Zhu Wanyu. He took out his phone from the Storage Ring and dialed Huang Siyuan's number.
This number was obtained by Xiao Yun when he took the Old Man to the hospital.
The call connected, and when Huang Siyuan heard someone on the other end introduce themselves as Xiao Yun, he was so excited that he almost fainted.
"Director Huang, I have a small favor to ask," Xiao Yun said.
Huang Siyuan's voice trembled with excitement as he replied, "Brother Xiao, why are we being polite? Just tell me what it is; even if I can't do it, I'll find a way to make it happen."
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and said, "This matter is a piece of cake for you. There is a woman named Zhu Wanyu who used to work as a nurse at your place. Due to her poor health, she went home midway. Now..."
Without waiting for Xiao Yun to finish speaking, Huang Siyuan already understood his meaning and said, "Brother Xiao, this is easy. You can have her come to work immediately. How about making her the office director? It's a relatively relaxed job with good benefits. What do you think?"
Xiao Yun replied, "Well... it's up to you to arrange it."
Huang Siyuan eagerly continued, "Brother, do you have time today? I would like to invite you to get together."
Xiao Yun knew Huang Siyuan was eager to invite him for a reason but felt it was inappropriate to refuse outright. After all, he had just asked for a favor from him, and in the future, Zhu Wanyu would be working under him, so he needed to ensure she received proper care.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Director Huang. I'm quite busy these days. I think it would be better to choose another time!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Siyuan felt a bit disappointed but was still very excited. After all, Xiao Yun had not completely shut him out; there was still some hope left.
At that moment, in Huang Siyuan's mind, Xiao Yun was almost a miraculous figure, his future lucky star. He thought that he must do everything possible to keep him close; as long as he could hold onto this influential person, he wouldn't have to worry about not achieving great success in the future.
Was Xiao Yun's appearance in the Galactic District a sign of good fortune for the Huang family?
The more Huang Siyuan thought about it, the more excited he became. The more excited he got, the more he wanted to find something to do.
Oh right...
He suddenly remembered how eager Xiao Yun was to help Zhu Wanyu. What was their relationship?
It seemed that Zhu Wanyu was an important figure. Yes, I need to personally take someone to visit her home and bring her to the hospital for work. This will also leave a good impression on Xiao Yun.
Thinking this way, Huang Siyuan had someone pull up Zhu Wanyu's previous files, quickly found her home address, and then instructed his people to buy several large bags of fruits and gifts. He started the car and, along with a group of people, headed grandly towards the community where Zhu Wanyu lived.
Zhu Wanyu could hardly believe that as the director of the Galaxy City First People's Hospital, Huang Siyuan would personally bring so many people to invite her back to work at the hospital. She even doubted whether she was dreaming.
"Director Huang, I’m surprised you came in person..." Zhu Wanyu said somewhat reservedly.
Huang Siyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sister, look at what you're saying; that's too formal. Xiao Yun and I are good brothers, and since you are his good friend, that makes you my good friend too. If there were any shortcomings in the past, I hope you can forgive me!"
Hearing this, Zhu Wanyu was taken aback; it turned out that Huang was here because of Xiao Yun.
Just who is Xiao Yun that even Director Huang wants to befriend him?
Zhu Wanyu smiled and said, "Director Huang, you misunderstood. Xiao Yun has nothing to do with me; he is just a new friend of my daughter..."
Ah, Xiao Yun is Zhu Wanyu's daughter's friend?
Huang Siyuan had heard from others that Zhu Wanyu had a very beautiful daughter. So this means... for a moment, Huang Siyuan's mind raced. It seems that Zhu Wanyu should be considered Xiao Yun's mother-in-law?
He immediately realized a serious issue: how could he have just called Zhu Wanyu "Sister"?
If Xiao Yun found out about this, would he be unhappy and think he was trying to show off?
Right, I should change how I address Zhu Wanyu to "Auntie"...
Xiao Yun had just hung up the phone when it rang again. Looking at the unfamiliar number, he answered it, only to hear Feng Yue's voice on the other end.
"Is this Mr. Xiao? I'm Feng Yue. Are you free today? Can we meet for lunch?" Feng Yue's tone sounded urgent.
Xiao Yun recalled that Feng still owed him medical expenses and replied casually, "Oh, Mr. Feng, sure. I'm unemployed, so I have plenty of time. Just pick a place, and I'll head over."
Feng Yue provided an address, and Xiao Yun took a taxi to a restaurant called Full City Fragrance. The entrance was modest, much smaller than Liu Ziyan's Phoenix City Grand Hotel.
Upon reaching the second floor and entering a private room, Xiao Yun was surprised to find not Feng Yue but his wife, Luo Mingyue.
Luo Mingyue was about the same height as Feng Wushuang, slender with fair and delicate skin. Her long hair flowed down her back, and her ample bosom stood out prominently.
Perhaps women from wealthy families knew how to take care of themselves; at first glance, she hardly looked like a middle-aged woman. If she stood next to Feng Wushuang, one might easily mistake them for sisters.
At that moment, she wore a long spaghetti strap dress that exposed her delicate shoulders, and the hint of white cleavage was particularly alluring. She exuded sensuality and charm, especially with her captivating eyes.
Xiao Yun was puzzled; if Feng Yue had called him, why was his wife here instead? Was this some kind of scheme to avoid paying him?
With a smile that was both warm and slightly haughty, Luo Mingyue inclined her body slightly and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's rare for you to visit us! My husband has tried calling you over ten times but couldn't get through; it kept showing as an invalid number. He was quite worried! He intended to come himself but got caught up in an urgent matter and sent me instead."
Xiao Yun was taken aback. When did he call me over ten times? Then he realized that he had placed his phone in the Storage Ring, where it couldn't receive any signals from the outside world. Generally, no one could get through or see anything on the phone.
"Mr. Feng, is there something urgent you need from me?" Xiao Yun asked with a smile as he sat down across from her, narrowing his eyes.
Luo Mingyue pulled out a check from her bag and placed it on the table, pushing it towards Xiao Yun. "Mr. Xiao, here is a check for thirty million. It's just a token of respect; our company has been facing some financial difficulties recently, otherwise I wouldn't be embarrassed to offer such a small amount!"
Thirty million? Wealthy people really are generous!
Xiao Yun marveled internally but kept a calm expression on his face as he casually took the check and tossed it into his ring.
Luo Mingyue stared in astonishment at his actions, wondering where the check had gone in the blink of an eye. The first time she witnessed Xiao Yun treating her daughter, she had already experienced his miraculous abilities; with just a wave of his hand, the Four Treasures of the Study appeared before him. She had been completely baffled by how those items appeared and disappeared.
Now witnessing another miracle, Luo Mingyue couldn't help but feel intrigued, thinking to herself, could he really be as extraordinary as Feng Yue said?
After securing the check, the waiter filled the table with food and drinks. Luo Mingyue poured a glass of wine for Xiao Yun, raised her glass towards him, and smiled, "Mr. Xiao, this toast is to you. It’s truly a blessing to know you!"
Xiao Yun was not polite and downed the wine in one go. "Madam Feng, you flatter me; it's just a small effort, hardly worth mentioning!"
"Mr. Xiao..." Luo Mingyue's gaze flickered, her eyes sparkling seductively, yet she seemed hesitant to continue, her face suddenly flushing red.
This unexpected shyness caught Xiao Yun off guard; what was going on with this woman?
Seeing her bashful demeanor was quite charming and stirred something within him.
