"Oh? What do you mean?"
Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback. Li Ziqing had gone out for a bit and made so much money?
Li Ziqing smiled proudly and said, "I've already expanded your businesses across the entire Jiangbei region. In no time, your total assets will at least double!"
When Qi Tianhu handed over his businesses to Chen Xiao, Li Ziqing had told him they were worth thirty billion.
And Li Ziqing had doubled the total assets in just over a month, which meant they were now worth sixty billion?
Although Chen Xiao knew that the Ye family, the richest family in Jiangcheng, had assets exceeding a hundred billion long ago, he was still slightly shocked to learn that his own assets might reach sixty billion.
However, after a slight shock, he became numb.
After all, with too much money, one hundred million or sixty billion was the same to Chen Xiao; neither could be spent completely!
Still, he sincerely praised Li Ziqing, "Ziqing, you're amazing. How did you do it?"
"No, no, it's not me who's amazing, it's you. The reason I can earn so much is all thanks to you."
Li Ziqing shook her head.
Chen Xiao was confused, "How is it my credit? I didn't lift a finger!"
Li Ziqing said, "You didn't lift a finger, but your name did! 'Boss Chen of Jiangbei,' how imposing! Everywhere I went, people eagerly sought to cooperate with me, so I just went with the flow. Otherwise, why do you think I was away on business for so long before returning!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.
This was truly the power of reputation. What started as an unintentional fame had unexpectedly brought him so many benefits.
But thinking of Li Ziqing traveling tirelessly from one city to another, Chen Xiao felt a pang of concern.
"Rest well when you get back. Don't push yourself so hard. Money can't be earned endlessly, and it's not worth it to ruin your health."
Hearing Chen Xiao's warm words, Li Ziqing felt a surge of sweetness. She said, "I'm not tired, and I actually enjoy doing this, just like you enjoy being a doctor. I enjoy making money. Besides, if I get tired, I still have you, right, Miracle Doctor Chen!"
"Then do you need Miracle Doctor Chen to give you a massage?"
Chen Xiao asked with a mischievous grin.
"You want to do it again..."
Li Ziqing's pretty face flushed. Just then, she suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you. Guess who I ran into on the plane back?"
Chen Xiao asked without even guessing, "Who?"
In fact, Chen Xiao had already guessed. The only person who could make Li Ziqing so excited and whom they both knew was Song Anran.
As expected, Li Ziqing said, "Who else could it be? Song Anran! You must have guessed it, but you're pretending not to."
"What's there to pretend about with you? Besides, she left without telling me. What does her return have to do with me."
Chen Xiao said, feigning nonchalance.
Actually, upon hearing Song Anran's name, Chen Xiao's heart couldn't help but flutter a little, but he certainly wouldn't show it in front of Li Ziqing.
Li Ziqing rolled her eyes. "How is it unrelated? I think she's back to find you..."
"Don't overthink it. If she wanted to find me, she would have called me. I haven't received any calls from her!"
"Come, let me give you a massage!"
Saying that, Chen Xiao mounted her, ending the conversation.
...
The next day, with the sun high in the sky, Chen Xiao was still lingering in bed with Li Ziqing.
He had already informed Li Dafu that he wouldn't be going to the hospital today and that Li should handle things as he saw fit.
Chen Xiao planned to take a few days off to spend time with Li Ziqing.
As dawn approached, Li Ziqing finally fell into a deep sleep and was now sleeping soundly.
Chen Xiao lay beside her, feeling an indescribable sense of peace.
Perhaps this was the greatest happiness for a mortal. After becoming an immortal, in the long river of time, immortals had long forgotten their emotions and desires. The people they loved might only be themselves.
Li Ziqing had been truly exhausted these past few days. She slept until it was completely dark before waking up groggily.
Chen Xiao lay with her until dark. Seeing her wake up, he personally cooked her a bowl of noodles.
A bowl of plain noodles with an egg, topped with a few green leaves, looked appetizing.
Li Ziqing also peeled two cloves of garlic and added them to the noodles, believing that noodles without garlic were half as flavorful!
After they finished dinner together and were about to go for a walk, Chen Xiao's phone suddenly rang.
Chen Xiao glanced at it and hung up directly.
"Why did you hang up? Was it a woman calling?"
Li Ziqing asked vigilantly.
"It was a woman, but I don't want to answer. If she's looking for me, it's definitely trouble..."
The call was from Luo Qian. Chen Xiao knew that if it weren't for trouble, this girl would never call him.
But as soon as Chen Xiao hung up, Luo Qian called again, persistently. Chen Xiao resolutely hung up again.
She called three times in a row. Even Li Ziqing couldn't stand it. "Oh, just answer it. What if she has something urgent to tell you?"
"Alright then."
When Luo Qian called again, Chen Xiao reluctantly answered the phone.
"Brother Chen, you finally decided to answer. I know you're angry about what happened yesterday, but you must help us this time. Something big has happened!"
Chen Xiao frowned. "What big thing?"
"There are ghosts... to be precise, there are zombies, or vampires... Our Exorcism Division has suffered heavy casualties and can barely hold on!"
On the other end of the phone, Luo Qian said anxiously.
"Zombies?"
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned and quickly asked, "Where are you?"
"We're at the Night Glow Football Stadium. Many of my teammates are injured, sob, sob, Brother Chen, I'm begging you, please come quickly..."
Luo Qian pleaded desperately, and as she spoke, she started to cry.
"I'm sorry, Ziqing, I have to go out now and can't stay with you."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao said apologetically.
Li Ziqing stared blankly at Chen Xiao. "Chen Xiao, what exactly are you doing now? What did you just say, zombies? Are you filming a movie?"
Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly. "It's not a movie."
"Then you mean real zombies? Like in the movies?"
Li Ziqing didn't know whether to be scared or excited.
"I'm not sure. I need to go and see first..."
"Okay, then be careful. I'll wait for you to come back!"
"Yes, you be careful too. Lock the doors and windows. If anything happens, call me immediately, and I'll rush back."
Chen Xiao didn't know what kind of zombies Luo Qian was talking about, but judging by her anxious voice, this matter was not simple.
Chen Xiao wasn't worried about his mother, as Gu Zhendong and Gongsun Yi were there, so his mother would be fine. Therefore, after reminding Li Ziqing, Chen Xiao hurried into the night.
