A Valiant Life

Dongyue Hotel!

Liu Xu was patrolling the inside of the hotel. Although it was a big business now, she still had to check it personally.

She had only just managed to set herself up in Shanghai and she really appreciated all that she had now. She wanted to prove that she was able to run her own business even after leaving her home.

She understood deeply that the more she had, the greater her burden would be. If she started to loosen her grip on her business and started to relax, everything might suddenly collapse one day.

“Chief Liu.”

“Good day, Chief Liu.”

The staff members who passed her were all very respectful towards her.

Liu Xu nodded at them. Then, she called a female staff member to halt. “What’s going on in here? Why is it so noisy?”

The female staff member looked at the tightly shut door. All kinds of noise were emanating from inside. She shook her head and said, “Chief Liu, I don’t know either. Since they booked this conference room, they’ve been having lessons inside. Occasionally, they would make such strange noises.”

Liu Xu nodded but she was still suspicious. “Alright, carry on with your work.”

“Yes, Chief Liu.” The female staff member nodded and left.

Liu Xu stood at the door and listened discreetly. She was very curious about this group that had booked the conference room and were making these strange noises.

However, since they had paid to rent the conference room, it wouldn’t be good for her to disturb them. As long as they weren’t doing any illegal things inside, she wouldn’t ask.

She listened for a while outside the door but still couldn’t understand what the heck was going on.

They were saying things like power, focus, wealth and other kinds of strange and random things. It made her very curious.

Then, she saw the description placed on the door and went to take a closer look.

“Spiritual Transmission. Experience the beauty of the universe.”

She took a look but still didn’t understand what it meant. But Liu Xu kept feeling that it was really weird.

*Rumble! Rumble!*

Thunderous noise rang out from inside the room. Liu Xu frowned. If it wasn’t for the fact that the conference room was not usually booked, she wouldn’t have rented it to these people.

Soon after.

Liu Xu was prepared to leave. She told the staff to pay attention to the room. If anything happened inside, they had to control the situation immediately.

At that moment, the room suddenly went quiet.

The door was opened.

A group of people walked out.

Liu Xu stood there, watching with a curious gaze. Everyone was dripping with sweat as if they had just done some kind of intense exercise.

The men who came out of the room saw this beautiful lady standing there and couldn’t help but take a few looks at her. However, thinking about what they had learned that day, they felt that they had to go back and practice it properly.

“Chief Liu.” At that moment, a man walked over.

Elder Wang was all smiles. He was very satisfied. He felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge today. When he saw Liu Xu, he went forward to greet her.

Master Lin had organized several activities before and they had all been here. Elder Wang knew about Little Boss’s relationship with Liu Xu. It was not a normal one. Now that he had seen her, he naturally had to greet her.

But unfortunately, Liu Xu didn’t recognize Elder Wang.

Elder Wang didn’t appear to be embarrassed. “Chief Liu, I’m a shop owner from Cloud Street, Elder Wang. I’ve come here with Little Boss a few times.”

“Oh.” Liu Xu came back to her senses. She was very curious about what had happened in the conference room. “What were you all doing inside?”

When she brought this up, Elder Wang was filled with pride. “Chief Liu, we were learning inside. Spiritual transmission. It is the feeling of being filled with the energy of our surroundings and integrating it into our bodies to make our spirits more ethereal.”

Liu Xu was completely confused. “???”

She had a dumbfounded look on her face as she couldn’t understand what he had said at all.

Elder Wang continued, “Chief Liu, if you are interested, you can come and listen in on the class tomorrow afternoon. I think the teachers will definitely welcome you. And let me tell you this. Tomorrow afternoon, a true teacher will be coming to teach us the latest lesson.”

“Are the lesson fees expensive?” Liu Xu pretended to be interested as she asked.

Elder Wang shook his head. “It’s not expensive. It only costs 1880. I signed up a few days ago and I feel like I’ve really learned something. My spirit has become fantastic.”

“I’m planning to buy something when the teacher comes tomorrow. For example, I might buy a jade stone to put in my house. It would change the electromagnetic fields at home to be more suitable for the human body.

When Liu Xu heard that, she immediately knew that something was wrong. Wasn’t that multi-level marketing?

“Oh, I see. Alright then. I still have stuff to do. Go on with what you were doing then,” said Liu Xu.

“Alright.” Elder Wang carried his red bag as he caught up with a fellow student in front. The two of them chatted cheerily as they went downstairs.

Liu Xu watched Elder Wang leave as she was immersed in deep thought. She felt that something was wrong and she had to give a warning.

Although she wasn’t really on great terms with Lin Fan, she had to give him a heads up about something like this. Otherwise, what else would she do?

She took out her phone and gave Lin Fan a call.

Cloud Street.

The phone rang. Lin Fan saw the phone display and was a little surprised.

It was as if he had seen a ghost. Why would Liu Xu give me a call? Could it be that she’s unhappy and she wants to scold me?=

Alright then. I’m happy to scold her back.=

“Ah, Chief Liu, why did you suddenly think about calling me?” Lin Fan said in a mocking tone as he answered the call.

Liu Xu said, “I have to tell you something. If you don’t care, then I won’t be bothered either. I’m just going to tell you.”

Lin Fan said, “Alright, tell me. I’ll see what it is.”

“You have someone called Elder Wang from Cloud Street right? He came to attend some kind of conference at my place. I feel like it’s multi-level marketing. If you see him, ask him about it. I’m hanging up,” said Liu Xu.

Then, without waiting for Lin Fan to reply, she hung up.

Lin Fan was dumbfounded as he listened to the beeping of the phone. He had wanted to ask a few more questions but she hadn’t given him the chance at all.

But something wasn’t right. What did that woman just say?=

Elder Wang has joined some multi-level marketing?=

If that’s true, it’s a big problem.=

That would mean that Cloud Street’s intelligence level has fallen all the way.=

“Brother Lin, what is it?” asked Zhao Zhong Yang.

Lin Fan said, “Is Elder Wang involved in multi-level marketing?”

When Zhao Zhong Yang heard that, his jaw dropped. “That can’t be. Under Brother Lin’s leadership, how could anyone from our Cloud Street be scammed?”

“I’m going to take a look at his shop and check out the situation.” Lin Fan didn’t say more as he immediately left for Elder Wang’s shop.

Indeed, the shop was closed. Then, he headed to Elder Chen’s side.

“Elder Chen, has Elder Wang been acting abnormally lately?” asked Lin Fan.

Elder Chen was watching a war film. Then, he nodded. “Yeah, he has been acting a little strange. He doesn’t even open his shop anymore. I just see him carrying a red bag and locking the shop every day. When we asked him, he said he was going to study.”

“What is it? Is there a problem?”

Lin Fan nodded. “There might be a problem. My friend just told me that Elder Wang might have become involved in multi-level marketing.”

*Clatter!*

Elder Chen almost collapsed to the ground. His face was filled with disbelief. “What?”

Lin Fan nodded helplessly. “That’s the case…”
