Chapter 480: 299 Turn a business trip into a honeymoon vacation..._3
"Anti-wrinkle, whitening, reducing stretch marks..."
Xia Ye wasn’t just talking nonsense; she believed that the product that could reduce stretch marks would quickly sell out once back in the country.
"If you keep drinking this for three months, even your rivals will feel inferior, and your skin will be as white as a lamp..."
Mid-sentence, she noticed the maid’s kindly but dark-skinned face and promptly changed her tone, "I mean no offense, just saying that the skin will improve..."
The maid wasn’t bothered at all, laughing as she responded, "Ah, Miss Xia is truly amazing."
Xia Xian emerged from the study, toying with his phone in his hand, watching Little Tiangao busily chopping away on the cutting board, finding her especially adorable and unwittingly relaxing his furrowed brows considerably.
He couldn’t resist snapping several photos of Little Tiangao and didn’t forget to send them to the family group chat, just to tease his older brother.
The secretary Xia was irritated enough by him to almost leave the group.
Xia Ye looked up at him, "How is it going with the Diamond Mine? Was the news confirmed to be false?"
There were rumors about a location at the Southern Boundary, where someone once found a fist-sized sapphire that sold for tens of millions of M currency—an astonishing figure.
Xia Ye thought quite highly of this feng shui treasure land.
Xia Xian pocketed his phone and let out a slight sigh, "We didn’t detect anything last night, but I just got off the phone, and it seems there are several other forces still surveying the area. They know I’ve been there and yet haven’t left, which means there must be some mystery left. I might need to go again tomorrow..."
Xia Ye patted Bru’s large head behind her, "Can we come with you for fun?"
"Of course, you can?" Xia Xian would certainly like that, "But the wilderness there is nothing like the flourishing Golar, and there are many mosquitoes in summer, brother Three, I’m afraid you’ll be bored..."
Xia Ye wasn’t concerned, "No worries, as long as it’s not a bother to you."
She was someone who could elegantly enter all kinds of high-society venues yet also rough it in the wild.
Who wouldn’t like such a person?
**
That night, a heavy downpour struck the Southern Boundary, leaving the several groups who were there during the day returning empty-handed.
Yet, after the rain, tomorrow’s treasure hunting might be even more challenging.
Xia Xian leisurely blew a smoke ring, feeling somewhat relieved to think of Little Tiangao joining him.
The next morning, Cook brought seven off-road trailers in a convoy and stopped outside Xia Xian’s villa.
Xia Xian counted the cars.
One, two, three...seven, eight, nine...fourteen?
Hm?
Weren’t there seven?
Why were there fourteen in total?
Moreover, the seven trailers in the back were loaded with survey equipment, each shining with a brand new metallic gleam and carrying the most advanced models.
These weren’t his vehicles...
Cook came down from the front vehicle and noticed the seven cars behind him through the rearview mirror, just as puzzled, "Boss, those cars are..."
Xia Xian looked towards the back, flicking a cigarette between his fingers, "How would I know..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the cigarette fell from his fingers ’snap’ to the ground.
The lead car from the seven vehicles in the back opened, and Jiang Xuan stepped out.
His gaze swept over and locked onto Xia Xian’s group as he approached.
His steady footsteps halted, and his composed voice resonated, "I heard you had an operation today and made some last-minute preparations for equipment. I’m not sure if they’ll be of use."
Xia Xian bent down to pick up the cigarette from the ground and nonchalantly put it back in his mouth.
No need to ask, he knew who told him.
But if Little Tiangao liked it, what could he do?
He even wondered what exactly she saw in President Jiang.
Speaking of which, how could President Jiang, being at the helm of the Jiang Corporation, afford to be so idle? With his days seeming wasted in leisure, how did he manage to build such a business empire?
Xia Xian irritably ran his hand through his hair, realizing the phrase ’wasted in leisure’ was entirely inappropriate, as it compared Little Tiangao to an object of play.
Xia Xian unhappily glanced at the equipment, saying it was prepared at the last minute, but indeed it all looked useful. He raised an eyebrow, "President Jiang must have spent quite a sum renting this equipment. It’s not right to let you pay, tell me how much, and I’ll cover it."
But Jiang Xuan replied generously, "It’s not rented, it’s purchased. Just a small gift, don’t mention it."
Xia Xian:...
He seemed to understand what Little Tiangao liked about him now!
"Woof woof!"
Bru’s energetic barking echoed from the villa’s yard, and both Xia Xian and Jiang Xuan looked over.
There she was, their Little Tiangao, coming out...
