122: Chapter 122 The Man Who Will Become the King of Streetlights”Pfft.”

Seeing Huang Mao’s performance, Tang Xiaotang pursed her lips and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

This person next to her brother, with his head of yellow hair, was quite funny when he spoke.

”As long as Brother has someone to accompany him, that’s fine. Qin Qin and I will go find my father first, and come back to play with Brother later.”

”Brother, see you later.”

”Big Brother, see you in a bit.” Although Jiang Qin wanted to stay, Tang Xiaotang immediately grabbed her and pulled her away.

”Brother, goodbye.” Shen Yue and Qi Lian didn’t forget to greet Fang Xun before following Tang Xiaotang away.

Once the four girls were far away, Huang Mao, standing next to Fang Xun, finally took a deep breath.

”Brother, brother.”

After taking a few heavy breaths, Huang Mao said with a look of relief, ”Brother, dyeing my hair was really worth it. Doesn’t it look handsome?”

”It’s indeed handsome.” Fang Xun nodded.

This guy was decent; even though he misunderstood, he didn’t forget about his newly-met brother at all.

Thinking of this, Fang Xun felt it was better not to let his brother continue to misunderstand.

”Brother, there’s something I need to tell you,” Fang Xun said very seriously.

”Go ahead, brother,” Huang Mao waved his hand.

”Actually, they were here to find me,” Fang Xun said earnestly.

”Are you sure?”

”Sure.”

”Really?”

”Really.”

”No joke?”

”No joke.”

”...”

After a long while, Huang Mao looked at Fang Xun and took a deep breath.

Then, he patted Fang Xun’s shoulder heavily and said:

”Brother, I admit you’re also handsome. But sometimes, it’s okay to lie to your brother, just don’t lie to yourself.”

Fang Xun: ”?”

Seeing Fang Xun’s shocked expression, Huang Mao patted his shoulder again and said:

”This time, besides the little princess of the Tang Family, I heard that young masters and ladies from the Imperial Capital’s wealthy families are coming, and even supernatural prodigies from other countries.”

If the connection with the little princess is broken, it’s really no big deal.

There are plenty of good girls.”

Fang Xun fell silent for a moment, deciding to just go along with his brother for now.

So, he followed Huang Mao’s lead and asked:

”Brother, for example?”

”There are many. For example, you know the Pei Family from the Imperial Capital, right? The eldest miss of the Pei Family, Pei Ruanruan, is actually studying at Dongcheng University now. I heard she transferred just for our Dongcheng City’s Genius, Verdant Maiden.”

”You know about this, right, brother?”

”Of course, I know,” Fang Xun nodded.

”There’s also a Genius Onmyoji from Sakurajima, Uesugi Akemi. But I don’t know much about her. Anyway, I heard she’s also a great beauty.”

Huang Mao thought for a moment and withheld further comment.

”That’s also true,” Fang Xun nodded again.

”There are also young ladies from other families. Anyway, quite a few are coming. Brother, seize the opportunity and try to pursue one. Then you’ll really take off.” Huang Mao patted Fang Xun’s shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.

”Alright.” What else could Fang Xun say? Brother Huang was right about everything.

At this time, as Tang Xiaotang moved further away, the young masters all followed after her.

Although Tang Xiaotang had paused briefly by Fang Xun, it didn’t look intimate, so not many people really cared.

There are many polite exchanges; only when you actually win someone over is it real.

Huang Mao didn’t follow. He deeply understood a principle.

What is too easily obtained will not be cherished.

So, he planned to play hard to get.

The two of them chatted as they went back to sit and drink cola.

Before long, besides Fang Xun and Huang Mao, everyone else also found a place to sit.

The banquet was perfectly arranged; despite the massive crowd, everyone had their own seat.

However, because Huang Mao and Fang Xun’s table was quite remote, it was still just the two of them.

With so many people, Fang Xun felt a bit timid.

But Huang Mao wasn’t timid. He even had time to chat with the guests at the next table, and amidst his cheerful conversation, he even secured some business for his Family’s factory.

To this, Fang Xun could only say ”awesome.”

A while later, the food and wine were served.

This really was a place where one could eat.

But just as the food and wine arrived, most of the lights in the banquet hall were systematically turned off.

The banquet hall suddenly grew dim, but it didn’t prevent people from seeing the tables in front of them.

Immediately, a thick beam of light hit the platform at the very front of the banquet hall, and then Lu Li stepped forward and appeared.

”Everyone, I’m not sure if this is our first time meeting. Let me introduce myself first.”

”I am Lu Li.”

Lu Li didn’t use a microphone, but her voice was clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears.

”You should all know the purpose of my visit. Just yesterday, we and the Disaster Beast...”

Lu Li said she came to find jobs for the Disaster Beast, and she really was doing just that.

Listening to Lu Li’s words, the venue fell into silence.

Until a middle-aged man walked up to the stage with a microphone.

”I heard Captain Lu’s words, and I understood them. I agree with Captain Lu. My Tang Corporation will respond to the Special Affairs Bureau’s call and invest eighty million to build a factory on the outskirts of Dongcheng City. Disaster Beast that pass the basic construction assessment will be employed directly to participate in the factory’s construction.”

”Furthermore, after the factory is put into use, at least thirty percent of the employees will be Disaster Beast.”

Tang Datang’s words were forceful and resonant.

No one present was a fool; these words must have been discussed between Tang Datang and Lu Li beforehand.

Saying it now was just using it as a positive example.

Of course, the people’s entrepreneurs present did not oppose Disaster Beast entering the production line.

They just wanted to see the higher-ups’ stance. Who knew if the cooperation with Disaster Beast was for real or just a feint.

If the cooperation collapsed and they were eventually labeled as Human Traitors, they’d be finished.

It wasn’t until Lu Li came out to personally endorse it and Tang Datang’s words landed that the people’s entrepreneurs finally felt at ease.

Although they wouldn’t pay less in wages, what people’s entrepreneur wouldn’t love employees who work hard without complaint and can work twenty-four hours straight?

As for any grudges, compared to the growing numbers, they were not worth mentioning to them.

”Brother, how many Disaster Beast does your Family plan to hire?”

Once the speeches above were finished, Huang Mao whispered to Fang Xun.

Without waiting for Fang Xun to speak, Huang Mao started calculating on his own.

”They’ll need specialized training, can only do the most basic work, and will need a separate site.”

At this point, Huang Mao clicked his tongue. ”Although being hardworking and enduring is good, there are a bit too many prerequisites.”

”Indeed,” Fang Xun nodded, also giving it some thought.

For small factories, the burden and risk of hiring Disaster Beast would be even higher.

It’s completely not worth the candle.

That’s why Lu Li had to make a special trip here to solve this problem.

Tang Datang indeed had the strength and capability.

While Fang Xun was thinking, he heard Huang Mao speak again.

”But Disaster Beast aren’t protected by Labor Laws.”

Huang Mao suddenly said excitedly:

”If we can withhold wages for half a year first, this problem won’t be a problem at all.”

Fang Xun: ”?”
