"You..."

Ding Linna reached the peak of embarrassment upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's curious inquiry!

Before, when she heard Hu Xiaobei on the other end of the phone say there was something very serious, Ding Linna's expression was very solemn...

Now, after listening to Hu Xiaobei's narration, she realized Hu Xiaobei had deceived her!

Because what he was talking about now wasn't a serious matter at all...

Although she couldn't see Ding Linna's face, Hu Xiaobei could imagine her pouting with shyness, "What's wrong? Did I hit a nerve there, huh!"

Right after Hu Xiaobei finished teasing her, he heard a very embarrassed, soft response, "You're talking nonsense, I... I never thought of you as my boyfriend! I just said it on the spur of the moment because I was forced into a corner. So, there's absolutely no such thing as a subconscious thought!"

"Oh, is that so! I..."

Upon hearing her explanation, Hu Xiaobei smiled and prepared to say something else.

However, as soon as he began to speak, Ding Linna interrupted him, "Alright, Master Xiaobei, I've got business here now. We can chat another time if there's a chance!"

"Okay then!"

After saying that, Hu Xiaobei hung up the phone, and afterwards, he laughed!

Hu Xiaobei really found teasing Ding Linna very amusing!

"Next time, if there's a chance, I'll try teasing her face to face!"

After muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei thought about what Ding Linna had said regarding Cai Tian.

Upon thinking of Cai Tian willingly joining forces with Tanaka Kitano, Hu Xiaobei's face was filled with a cold smirk, "Cai Tian, since you're willing to work with the Japanese, don't blame me for not being courteous."

After speaking, Hu Xiaobei began to continue planning for the future...

...

"Is there really such a subconscious thing?"

In Ding Linna's store, the red-faced Ding Linna muttered to herself after hanging up the phone...

In fact, there was no customer in the store.

She had lied to Hu Xiaobei!

She did it because she didn't want him to continue asking, as she felt that if Hu Xiaobei kept on, it would only get more embarrassing.

"Xiaobei, you're still in the mood to sit here drinking tea?"

"Uh, if not drinking tea, what should I do? Should I drink alcohol instead?"

On the balcony, while Hu Xiaobei was blissfully sipping his tea, he heard a somewhat dejected voice and immediately set down his teacup to respond with a smile.

Han Xueyao, upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's banter, rolled her eyes, saying, "Thinking about drinking alcohol? If we no longer have jobs in the future, you can drink however you like!"

Looking at Han Xueyao, Hu Xiaobei felt somewhat despondent and rubbed his nose, saying, "Auntie, what are you talking about? How could we possibly be out of work!"

Sensing Hu Xiaobei hadn't grasped the gravity of the situation, Han Xueyao walked over, "How could it not be possible? Right now, Tanaka Kitano is getting ready to squeeze us hard! If we lose, wouldn't that mean losing our jobs?"

Feeling Han Xueyao's concern, Hu Xiaobei quietly said, "Haha, Auntie, don't worry so much, I'm telling you, in my eyes, that Tanaka Kitano is nothing but a jumping clown. Just let him hop around for a bit."

Hu Xiaobei knew that Tanaka Kitano must have some skills, but Hu Xiaobei had never paid much attention because he knew his own abilities were super strong, and he couldn't lose even if he tried.

"Hopping around? That Tanaka Kitano isn't just hopping around now. He issued an ultimatum in our Lake Water County a while ago. The ultimatum was to find partners to gang up on you. Those who don't join will be treated as enemies. What do you think he means by that?"

Han Xueyao asked with a puzzled face!

Earlier, when Han Xueyao learned that Tanaka Kitano was planning to gather people to go against her and Hu Xiaobei, she was astonished!

Because in her view, the disadvantages of him doing so outstripped the advantages!

Looking at the puzzled-faced Han Xueyao, Hu Xiaobei took the initiative to explain, "This time, Tanaka Kitano's goal is to gather everyone who has grudges against me."

"Oh? Summoning our enemies? Now why would that be?"

With a smile, Hu Xiaobei continued, "Tanaka Kitano isn't a fool. He knows it's difficult to find a suitable assistant in our Lake Water County. Under these circumstances, Tanaka Kitano has issued this ultimate ultimatum. On the surface, it will infuriate many people, but at the same time, it will also gather those who already hate me to death. To be used by him."

"Is that so!"

Hearing Han Xueyao suddenly understanding, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, "I think it should be that way!"

"So Xiaobei, what do we do now?"

Feeling Han Xueyao's nervousness, Hu Xiaobei patted her hand and said, "No matter what he wants to do, we'll just stick with him. That's it!"

"But..."

Hearing Han Xueyao seemed to have more worries to express, Hu Xiaobei interrupted her, "Auntie, trust me! There really are no buts. This way, I promise to make Tanaka Kitano leave in the shortest time. Is that okay now?"

"En!"

As Han Xueyao nodded vigorously, Hu Xiaobei turned to look toward the back mountain, gazing at that vast sea of flowers...

Over there, countless butterflies were fluttering about...

"It won't take long before this place will probably see loads of tourists!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and glanced at those thick barriers!

Previously, Hu Xiaobei had shielded this entire area with thick barriers!

He did this because he didn't want to let others see them for the time being.

Hu Xiaobei knew that once this vast sea of flowers was seen, it would be really hard to feel fresh about them in a short time...

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's excitement, Han Xueyao walked up a few steps and gently said, "There will definitely be many visitors, and most of them will probably be young people! Now, our Xiaobei Brand's popularity among young people is getting higher and higher! Of course, we have to thank Yao Yan'er. If it wasn't for her endorsement and promotion, our Xiaobei Brand wouldn't be as wildly popular as it is now."

"En! Indeed. Over the days, when Yao Yan'er has her concert, let's go together!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's suggestion, Han Xueyao nodded vigorously, "That's great! I've only seen her on TV before, so it would be really nice to meet her in person now!"

"Of course, it would be nice! I..."

At this point, Hu Xiaobei was suddenly interrupted by Han Xueyao.

"Xiaobei, I've heard that Yao Yan'er is still single, you know?"

"Auntie, what...what do you mean?"

After giving Hu Xiaobei a look, she rolled her eyes, "You dummy! What could Auntie mean? Of course, it's telling you to figure out a way to win the beauty's heart!"

"Auntie, you...you wouldn't mind?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's serious question warmed Han Xueyao's heart!

She knew Hu Xiaobei kept asking because he cared about her opinion...

Thinking this, she pouted and said softly with some helplessness, "You little bastard! What use is there for me to mind? You're a complete flirt!"

Hearing the title "flirt," Hu Xiaobei glanced at Han Xueyao and bluntly said, "Hehe, Auntie, you know I'm a flirt, and you're still not running away?"

"Run? Where could I run to! I've thought it through. As long as I'm in your heart, that's enough. As for the rest, I don't care!"

"Auntie, saying that, wouldn't I be womanizing on command?"

"Yes! So put on a good show and try to win Yao Yan'er over quickly!"

Feeling her urgency, Hu Xiaobei was slightly stunned, "Auntie, why the rush!"

"You dummy, it's for the endorsement fee! The amount you agreed upon with her for the endorsement isn't a small sum. Think about it, if she becomes your woman, she won't be asking for an endorsement fee after that, right..."

"I..."

Hu Xiaobei was completely speechless!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's speechless expression, she chuckled and said, "Alright, Xiaobei, let's not talk about this for now. Let's discuss something serious! As for these delicate roses in the backyard, what's your plan? Do you intend to sell them in our various stores?"
