The next morning.
In his dreams, Zhou Heng heard sizzling sounds.
He suddenly opened his eyes. There was no one in the room other than him. It was the white cat that he had picked up yesterday. It was holding a packet of potato chips in its mouth on the table. What Zhou Heng heard was the sound of the potato pouches.
The Heavenly Mage System was making him overly sensitive. Zhou Heng sighed. After obtaining the Heavenly Master System, Zhou Heng did indeed gain a lot of levelling up, but he had also sacrificed a lot of the fun as a human being for this.
"Alright, alright," Zhou Heng sat up on the bed. "Let me open it for you." Surprisingly, this cat didn't like to eat cat food s and liked to eat human snacks. It was truly strange.
The white cat's paw lit up and used its paw to cut open the bag of chips.
"Awesome!" Zhou Heng praised.
The white cat picked up a slice of potato chips with one forepaw, then put it to her mouth and took a small bite. It looked like a human being eating with a fork.
"Is this how cats eat?" Zhou Heng watched in a daze.
At this moment, the phone beside his bed rang.
Zhou Heng looked at the phone screen, it was a call from Cao Fang.
Didn't we agree on a week? Why are you calling so soon? Confused, Zhou Heng picked up the phone.
"Hello." Zhou Heng said slowly on the other end of the phone.
"Are you ready?" Cao Fang went straight to the point.
"Not yet." Zhou Heng said truthfully, "It will take at least three days." Three days later, he could go to drunkard's workshop to retrieve the copper rod that he had custom-made.
"There's no more time!" Cao Fang's tone was somewhat anxious.
"My brother is going to the sea today. I don't know where he found out that there was a problem with my project, but he even brought a tall monk from Pirate." Cao Fang explained to Zhou Heng.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Zhou Heng did not mind having the Pirate Monk fight with him, "Your brother is here to help you ah!"
"He's not being kind. The clan must have been afraid that I would grow up near the sea. That's why they sent him here." Cao Fang coldly snorted on the other end of the phone, and then said, "No matter what, you have to come over today."
Zhou Heng didn't really understand the logic behind Cao Fang's words. Wasn't it supposed to be a good thing for her family that she grew up near the sea? But since it's a family, then there must be some sort of interest relationship that Zhou Heng couldn't even imagine. Zhou Heng was also not very interested in these things.
"Can't we wait for another two days?" Zhou Heng asked.
"I'll give you another million yuan. Now, come over immediately!" Cao Fang said loudly.
In Zhou Heng's impression, although the two of them had only known each other for half a day, they shouldn't have this kind of violent temper. Zhou Heng had no choice but to say: "I don't have any intention of asking you for extortion, okay, I will prepare to come over right now."
"Hurry up." Cao Fang was still urging them to hurry up.
"As much as I can." Zhou Heng hung up the phone.
Zhou Heng placed the phone back into his pocket, then grabbed the jacket beside the bed. He glanced at the white cat on the table who was eating potato chips and said: "I'm going out for a while, you stay behind to look after the house." He had so many snacks at home, if he had the ability to open a potato bag, he probably wouldn't be hungry.
However, the white cat put down the potato chips in its hand, jumped off the table agilely, and arrived beside Zhou Heng's legs. "Meow." It raised its head and looked at Zhou Heng, crying out like it was begging.
"Are you going too?" Zhou Heng looked at the white cat on his lap.
"Meow!" The white cat let out a loud cry.
"Meow." The white cat rubbed itself against Zhou Heng's pants a few times.
"Fine." Zhou Heng helplessly carried the white cat. "When the time comes, let Cao Fang take care of you."
Bringing the cat with him, Zhou Heng went out the door.
On the other side, in Cao Fang's office.
"Hey!" The eldest son of the Cao family, Cao Tai, suddenly barged into his sister's office. As he looked around, he constantly made "tsk tsk" sounds, he stopped his steps and pointed to the display cases in his office. "Little sister, I'm afraid even father doesn't have these antique collections." Behind him followed a burly man wearing a bamboo hat.
In Cao Fang's office, there was a display case with a few ceramic vessels.
"Hehe, it's just some worthless stuff." Cao Fang laughed, then said, "If Big Brother likes it, then you can have it."
Cao Tai unceremoniously pushed open the display cabinet and took out a small porcelain cup. He then raised it up and caressed it to examine it.
"Aiyo!" His mouth let out an exaggerated exclamation, "Incredible! Little sister, this little guy must be at least several million!"
"Sooner or later, big brother will have to inherit his family's property," Cao Fang laughed and said, "This small amount of money is nothing to me."
Cao Fang's secretary stood behind Cao Fang. She looked at Cao Tai's disrespectful appearance and felt a little unhappy in her heart.
"Aiya!" Cao Tai looked surprised, "Why am I so careless!"
Cao Fang's face turned ugly, but she remained calm.
"Little sister, you've changed." Cao Tai said as he sat on the desk in front of Cao Fang, "If it was still at Beiping, you would have shouted at me to scram, right?"
"Heh." Cao Fang's face hooked up into a smile, "Brother, you must be joking." The current Cao Fang had long understood that the reason she was transferred from Beiping to Seaside was all because of her unrestrained personality.
"If you were half as meek as you are now," Cao Tai laughed, "I'm afraid you wouldn't be in such a state today." After he finished speaking, he burst out laughing without restraint.
Indeed, Cao Fang had already done a lot in Seaside. Perhaps, this still wasn't much to the Cao family, but these were the results of Cao Fang's hard work over the past four years. If Cao Fang had not been chased out of the Beiping back then, it would be hard to imagine her achievements today.
"Do you regret it?" Cao Tai asked bluntly.
The clan had sent the long-haired Cao Tai over precisely to give Cao Fang a medicine for his regret. Cao Tai would take over all of Cao Fang's businesses in Seaside, and Cao Fang would be transferred back to Beiping.
Cao Fang smiled as she shook her head: "The matter is already in the past, there is nothing to regret." Right now, she would never return to the Beiping. Her connections and foundation were both close to the sea, and if she returned to the Beiping, she would only be left at the mercy of others.
"Little sister, it hurts to be a big brother while you're holding on like this!" Cao Tai saw that Cao Fang did not have any signs of letting go, and continued to speak. The fact that his clan sent him to take over Cao Fang's businesses in Seaside could be said to be a big beauty for a second generation like him who didn't know anything.
"Elder brother, no need to feel heartache. I've been living a very good life by the sea." Cao Fang replied with a smile.
knew that he was no match for Cao Fang, and he also knew that the only thing he could rely on in front of his little sister was his family's great backer. "The old man said that he missed you a lot, and wanted to transfer you to the Beiping to work for him, so I'll take over your business here." he said carelessly.
Although Cao Fang knew it was going to be like this, her body still trembled uncontrollably.
"I'm afraid that the little booth by the sea won't be able to accommodate a great Buddha like you." Cao Fang said coldly.
"Then I don't need you to worry." Cao Tai said with a mischievous smile.
"I will not hand over my estate by the sea." Cao Fang directly cut to the chase and said, she went back to her seat and said to her secretary, "Xiao Ya, bring my brother to the company for a tour, I need to work now."
Seeing her sister's reaction, Cao Tai suddenly froze. In the entire Beiping, not many people would dare to talk to him like this.
Hearing the instructions, Xiao Ya quickly walked in front of Cao Tai and politely said: "Mr. Cao, please."
"Pah!" Cao Tai suddenly raised his hand, and heavily slapped Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya covered her face and sat on the ground.
"Who are you!" Cao Tai pointed at Xiao Ya and bellowed, "Are you worthy to talk to me?"
