Chapter 140: Stripping the Firewood from Beneath the Cauldron

"Furthermore, the company we established was named after Su Chan, wasn't it? Old Geng, you have also been running our company's affairs in the county under Liuzhou. After some time, once Su Baiyong and his son have truly stirred up trouble, we will use the name of the Su Group to collaborate directly with Lin Moyan's Lin Group, and you will lead this partnership. I believe it won't be long before imitations of our Anshen Powder appear in territories outside of Liuzhou..."

The so-called job market is, in reality, a labor market. It recruits those who currently lack direction in life but possess the capacity for hardship to do manual labor. Most of these jobs require little technical skill and involve a heavy workload—it is a way to trade one's youth and sweat for money.

"It's all your fault! You wretched woman! If it weren't for you, I would never have acted so impulsively!" Li Changlong stepped forward and struck Xiang Xue twice.

A few days ago, she was writhing in pain on the bed. The Tang family sent someone to ask how to treat her, and now he is forbidden from eating sugar figurines.

Zhang Yang heard this and wondered if this guy, having been slapped by him several times, had finally lost his mind.

She got up, put on her shoes, and went to the window. When she opened it, she was startled to see someone outside, looking at her with a resentful and aggrieved expression.

Listening and watching from afar, Xiao Youran felt a stifling sensation in her chest; her emotions were turbulent, her heart felt as if it were being pierced by a knife, and she was overcome with grief.

Although she knew that Li Changlong's thoughts were now inscrutable and that he held deep dissatisfaction toward the Zheng family, she was still considering him and the potential consequences of their actions.

The J-League suspension system dictates that a player receives a one-match ban for the first red card of the season, a two-match ban for the second, a three-match ban for the third, and so on. Hasegawa received his second red card of the season in the fifth round of the league; not only was he suspended for the previous round, but he would also miss this one.

"Junior General Teng Hao, Captain of the Han Kingdom's Crown Prince's Guard, pays his respects to the young master." Teng Hao strode in and offered a salute, neither servile nor overbearing.

In a short while, Qing'er had the bathwater prepared. Su Ju'an sat before the mirror, removing all the jewelry from her hair while Pearl brushed it for her.

Mei Xinyue was surprised, recalling that Chonghui had mentioned to her several times his desire to go out of the estate to fish.

However, He Chuan did not intend to personally eliminate this fellow who was suspected of being bound to a system this time.

"Hmph," General Shi snorted. "Look at how pathetic you are! How could you be so useless? Isn't Qin Si perfectly fine today?" He had gone to discuss important matters with the Prince that morning and had seen with his own eyes Qin Si emerging from the Prince's tent, looking as vigorous as ever.

She was Ning Churan's second aunt and the younger sister of Ning Jing. Her personality was similar to his, though she was not as snobbish.

I dragged my luggage, waving to my sister as I walked. The end of the vacation also meant that I had completely cut ties with my former classmates. Of course, there were more new friends waiting for me. Filled with anticipation, I walked into the station; even though this journey was ending, it was also a beginning.

Runze Yu smiled at her—a smile that was pure yet soul-stirring. Liu Piaoyi hurriedly averted her gaze, refusing to look at him again.

Following that, he held Feng Tian and flew to Silver Moon, placing her within the circle of the dragon's coiled body.

Empress Dowager Li was very satisfied with these two young ladies and grew quite fond of them. After some casual conversation, she allowed them to kowtow and withdraw so she could attend to her Buddhist prayers after lunch.

The other officers left the conference room one after another. My sister and I remained behind. Seeing the look on Captain Chen's face, I felt deeply uneasy, but until the investigation into the financial situation was concluded, there was nothing I could do.

Dalong opened the package to find it filled with bottles and jars, files, iron hooks, brushes, and stun guns—a dazzling array of items.

Su Yingmei was always able to pinpoint the weaknesses in others' personalities with great accuracy. Especially with Bai Yixue! It was as if Su Yingmei understood Bai Yixue well, yet at the same time, she didn't truly understand her at all. It was just like how Su Yingmei couldn't guess what it would take for Bai Yixue to finally sign the divorce papers.
