  “So it’s fine to mistreat someone just because you didn’t know?” Liu Dajun’s eyes were bulging. “Even if he isn’t my little brother, he’s still a potential customer! Who trained you to behave that way?”

  “We didn’t think he looked like a customer, so…” the sales clerk stammered.

  “He didn’t look like a customer? So how should a customer look like, then? Let me tell all of you. Anyone that walks through those doors is our customer. Even if he cannot afford it now, that doesn’t mean he will never be able to afford this. You all are tarnishing the image of the company !”

  The sales clerk pursed her lips as though she had been wronged.

  She was about to explain herself again when Liu Dajun interjected. “You, shut up! You don’t have to come to work tomorrow! You did something wrong and don’t know how to reflect on your mistakes. What’s the use of keeping you here then?”

  The sales clerk’s face immediately became a ghastly pallor.

  The other sales clerks trembled and did not dare to say a word.

  “As for you bunch, and you two as well. Your allowances and bonuses this month are all withdrawn. You had better reflect on this incident as well. If something like this happens again, you can kiss your jobs goodbye.”

  “Yes, President Liu!” The sales clerks lowered their heads and replied urgently.

  “Now, apologize to my little brother!” Liu Dajun demanded.

  “I am sorry, Mr. Tang!” All of them walked in front of Tang Hao and bowed to him.

  “What do you say, Lil Tang?” Liu Dajun asked.

  “It’s fine. I’m not too bothered!” Tang Hao replied nonchalantly.

  “Now that’s settled. You all, you’d better be more diligent at your posts! Now go back to work!” Liu Dajun waved toward them.

  The two security guards ran away like they were escaping from something.

  The sales ladies also turned around and walked toward a corner of the foyer.

  “Lil Tang, this is all my fault. This wouldn’t have happened if I were here just a little earlier,” Liu Dajun said apologetically.

  “It’s fine, Big Bro Liu! Here, this is for you.”

  Tang Hao opened his backpack and retrieved a bag from within. There were seven bottles inside: Five bottles of weight-loss tea and two bottles of aphrodisiac potion.

  Liu Dajun’s eyes sparkled as if he had found treasure.

  “This is the good stuff! After the five bottles, I’ll be young again. Thank you so much, Lil Tang. I’ll transfer the ninety thousand yuan to your account soon.”

  “Alright!” Tang Hao replied.

  The sales clerks standing at one side were trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.

  All of them were shocked when they heard that the few bottles he took out from his backpack were worth ninety thousand yuan. They could not believe their ears.

  ‘Those few measly bottles were worth ninety thousand yuan? What’s actually inside those bottles?’

  “Right, I’ve also heard from Elder Ma the incident yesterday. I didn’t expect that you’re an expert in antiques appraisal too! Earning eight million yuan in a day just like that,” Liu Dajun continued.

  The sales clerks’ eyes bulged when they heard that.

  “Eight… eight million? Oh my god! He earned eight million yuan in one day?” One of the sales clerks swallowed with some difficulty.

  “What does this kid actually do? Isn’t he just a delivery boy?”

  “Why is he still delivering packages if he’s so rich?”

  All the sales clerks looked at him differently. They were all burning with regret.

  Now that they took a closer look at the boy, he was not only rich but also handsome. More importantly, he was sworn brothers with President Liu. He could have been the perfect boyfriend.

  Ma Fangfang was shocked. Her eyes sparkled when she looked at Tang Hao, but they turned dull once again soon after.

  Her heart was full of regret.

  “It’s just a fluke!” Tang Hao laughed and waved his hands.

  “What fluke? I’ve heard it all from Elder Ma. Don’t be so humble!” Liu Dajun said candidly.

  After that, he turned to look at the string of blood jade beads that Tang Hao wore on his right wrist.

  His eyes sparkled as he exclaimed. “This is so beautiful. Thousand-year blood jade lives up to its name! I’ve heard from Elder Ma that it’s worth one or two hundred million yuan? And yet you dare to wear it in public?”

  Liu Dajun looked at the string of beads with admiration and envy.

  “It’s fine. Normal people won’t understand,” Tang Hao joked.

  “That’s true. Who would have expected someone wearing something worth one or two hundred million yuan roaming on the streets!” Liu Dajun roared with laughter.

  The sales clerks were all already petrified. Their faces were frozen with shock.

  “Oh my god! That jade was genuine? And it’s worth one or two hundred million?”

  They felt a little faint.

  One hundred million was an astronomical number.

  All of them felt ashamed of themselves.

  However, they were not totally to blame! Who would have expected a plain-looking kid dressed shabbily would be wearing an exceedingly rare piece of jade on his wrist?

  That was too reckless and wasteful!

  They took a closer look at the string of blood jade beads. The light it reflected had made them a little dizzy. They even felt their heart beating a little faster.

  “That’s so beautiful. Hey, Lil Tang, are you selling that?”

  “I’m not selling it. I think it looks good on me.”

  “That’s true. Let me know whenever you want to sell it. I know several rich tycoons who can afford it.” Liu Dajun said a little disappointedly. “Right, since you’re already here, how about we go look at some properties? You’d better move out of the mountain soon.”

  “I was thinking of the same thing too. That’s why I was looking around.”

  “Why didn’t you say that earlier? Come here, Lil Tang, what do you think of these mansions? Disregard their price tags for now. They’re absolutely worth it.” Liu Dajun dragged Tang Hao around enthusiastically.

  “I… I don’t have that much money in my account!” Tang Hao hesitated.

  “Eh! Why do you worry! Don’t you have your Big Bro Liu here? I’ll give you a discount. If it’s still not enough, I’ll pay the rest. Just pick one that you like and we can proceed with the paperwork. You can move in after two days,” Liu Dajun told Tang Hao as he pointed at one of the model buildings.

  After that, Liu Dajun dragged Tang Hao outside hastily. He seemed to be more anxious than Tang Hao.

  After they exited Sunshine Plaza, Liu Dajun walked toward his Phantom and Tang Hao toward his little three-wheeled motorcycle.

  Suddenly, Tang Hao stopped walking as though he remembered something. “Big Bro Liu, I nearly forgot that I need to deliver these potions to Big Bro Li and Big Bro Huang!”

  Liu Dajun was surprised, then he grumbled, “Eh! Why don’t you just get them to come over here? That saves you the trouble of going all over the city.”

  After that, he dialed President Li’s number on his phone.

  “Hey, Ol’ Li! Come to my office quickly. I want to go look at properties with Lil Tang. You can pick up your items here!”

  After that, he called President Huang and the others.

  They waited for less than twenty minutes before President Li, President Huang and the others arrived. A fleet of luxury cars parked on the road next to Sunshine Plaza.

  “Where are my potions, Lil Tang?” President Huang was the first to arrive. He rushed over after parking his car.

  “It’s here, there’s no need to hurry!” Tang Hao opened his backpack and retrieved a bag with two bottles. Those were the hair growth potions that he brewed.

&nb
sp; President Huang seemed excited when he took the bottles.

  “So, Lil Tang… how’s the potency of these potions like? Can it solve this problem?” President Huang pointed to the bald patch on the top of his head as he spoke.

  “No worry, it’ll definitely cure it!” Tang Hao smiled. “But…”

  Before he could finish speaking, President Huan anxiously opened one of the bottles and gulped down half a bottle.

  Tang Hao was shocked. The smile on his face froze.

  President Huang stopped drinking after half a bottle. He wiped his mouth, feeling pleased with himself, but was shocked when he saw Tang Hao’s dumbfounded face. “What’s the matter, Lil Tang?”

  Tang hao opened his mouth but did not say anything.

  After a long while, he managed to squeeze two words out of his mouth. “It’s over!”

  President Huang was scared out of his wits when he heard that. His face turned pale.

  “There are no problems with these potions, right?” He sounded a little panicked.

  “Well… there are no big problems, but there might be a lot of small problems.” Tang Hao wore a strange expression on his face. “I wanted to suggest to you that you should only take a sip every day. The potion is quite potent.”

  President Huang touched his head and asked curiously, “Quite potent? Isn’t that a good thing then? The more potent the better!”

  Tang Hao looked at President Huang’s head, then he shifted his gaze to his nostrils and armpits.

  His face became more worried by the moment.

  “When I said ‘quite potent’, I mean ‘incredibly potent’. You can feel the changes happening very soon. Also, this potion doesn’t only work on the hair on your head. It also affects your body hair, so…”

  President Huang was stunned when he heard that. Then, his face changed.

  “You mean… even hair on these places too?” President Huang pointed at his nose, his armpits and between his legs.

  Tang Hao nodded seriously. “Yes. You’ll have a lot of hair growing from those places, and also… they will be very long.”

  “Hahahahaha!” Liu Dajun, and also President Biao, President Li and the others who had just arrived all laughed at President Huang’s misfortune.

  “It’s good to have so much hair, Ol’ Huang! You can hide two birds in that bush!”

  Everyone burst out laughing again.

  Even Tang Hao could not help it but laugh.

  President Huang’s face was all red. His anxiety caused him to spin in circles.

  “It’s over. It’s all over! What should I do now? Lil Tang, do you have a solution?”

  Tang Hao shook his head. “You’ll just have to wait until the hair grows out. It’ll happen very soon.”

  President Huang looked miserable. He placed a hand on his forehead while he mumbled. “This time… I’m really finished!”

  “Stand aside, Ol’ Huang! Where are my potions, Lil Tang?”

  President Li and the others were handed the bottles of potions they ordered.

  Soon, transfer notifications appeared on Tang Hao’s phone. In a short while, he had an extra several hundred thousand in his account.

  “I heard that you’re going to look at some properties, Lil Tang? I happen to be free right now. Let’s go together! If you think you don’t have experience in purchasing properties, you can run your ideas through me and I can help you with making a decision,” President Biao said.

  “I don’t have anything going on right now too. Let’s go!” President Li and the rest all said.

  “What are we waiting for then? Let’s go!” Liu Dajun said.

  “I’m going too!” President Huang said, then walked toward his car.

  “Don’t, don’t! You shouldn’t drive now, Big Bro Huang!” Tang Hao stopped him.

  “Why? Why can’t I drive?” President Huang asked.

  “It’s too dangerous. The potion will take effect in about ten minutes. When that happens, all the hair on your body will grow at incredible speeds. I don’t think that will feel very comfortable. I’d strongly suggest against you driving, President Huang.”

  “What?” President Huang’s face turned ghastly. “The potion takes effect in minutes?”

  He looked to his left and right. This was the city center and traffic was heavy. He would be thoroughly embarrassed if someone saw him.

  “I did tell you that the potion is incredibly potent!” Tang Hao tried not to laugh.

  “So what should I do? If I can’t drive and the hair will grow in minutes, you can’t just abandon me here!” President Huang looked incredibly anxious. Liu Dajun and the rest were killing themselves trying not to laugh.

  Tang Hao thought for a moment. “How about this. When the hair grows, we’ll look for a barbershop somewhere and shave it all off. The potion takes effect quickly and the effects will also be over quick, maybe in about twenty minutes. So that’s thirty or forty minutes in total.”

  “Alright, let’s do that!” President Huang said urgently.

  Then, he rolled his eyes at Liu Dajun and the rest. “Lil Tang is still the best. You all are heartless.”

  Liu Dajun was still stifling his laughter. “I remember there’s a barbershop not too far away from here. Let’s just head there later!”

  Tang Hao nodded.

  Thus, the group of people waited in front of Sunshine Plaza.

  They talked about the incident yesterday. All of them took turns looking at the string of jade beads and exclaimed in wonder.

  Inside the building, the group of sales clerks watched in amazement as this scene happened in front of their eyes.

  They could see that all these people were incredibly rich. Some of them recognized that these people were some of the most prestigious in the district.

  This group of prestigious people gathered around the boy and chatted as if they were in the same social class.

  “Fangfang, this classmate of yours… who is he? Why is he friends with all these big bosses?”

  “Fangfang, do you have his phone number? Can you ask him for me?”

  “Fangfang, do you know about his preference in girls?”

  The group of sales clerks crowded around Fangfang and bombarded her with questions.

  Ma Fangfang could only stare at him wordlessly.

  To be frank, she did not know who this boy was anymore.

  Back then, Tang Hao was only a poor village kid. He kept a low profile in class, and she never bothered to talk to him.

  Only a few years later, the boy experienced a turnabout in his fortune and became someone that even she had to look up to.

  The group of people chatted casually outside Sunshine Plaza.

  Suddenly, President Huang jerked. His hands were between his legs and he looked agonized.

  “Itchy, itchy!” He could not stop yelling while he danced around.

  Liu Dajun and the other people were thrilled when they saw that. Some of them even took out their phones to snap photos.

  “Quick, in the car!” Tang Hao said.

  President Huang walked in an awkward, twisting way, then dove into his car.

  Twenty minutes later, Tang Hao peeked into his car and he nearly burst out laughing.

  President Huang originally had a bald spot on his head. Now the hair on his head was long and dense. The ring of hair around the bald spot had become even longer. It was a comical sight.

  Nose hair shot out from his nostrils. They were about three to four centimeters long.

  His pants were bulging. The hair was unnaturally dense down there.

  Unexpected to Tang Hao, President Huang was not as panicked as he seemed. Rather, he used his phone as a mirror to look at himself happily.

  “Look at this, Lil Tang! It’s growing!”

  “What are you so happy about? Did you expect Lil Tang’s potion to not work? Go go go, let’s get it shaved off!
We still have mansions to view!” Liu Dajun shouted.

  President Huang got out of his car, then they huddled together and walked to the barbershop.

  President Huang’s ridiculous looks still attracted a lot of attention while walking along the street. Many people had weird looks on their faces when they saw him, and some even burst out in laughter.

  Everyone in the barbershop was shocked when they saw the group of people come in. They looked at President Huang from head to toe and fixed their eyes on his bulging pants.

  “Damn! Look at the size of that thing!” A middle-aged woman shrieked in surprise. Her eyes were bulging and round.

  President Huang’s face turned red immediately.

  “What’s there to look at? My brother here has an innate condition that causes his hair to grow all over his body. Someone come help him shave all this off!” Liu Dajun stepped forward and threw a hundred-yuan note at the counter.

  After some hard work, they finally shaved all the extra hair away.

  As for the hair in his pants, President Huang shaved it off himself in the toilet.

  After the incident, they all set off.

  Tang Hao rode on his little three-wheeled motorcycle, while a fleet of luxury cars followed behind. It was an incredibly cool scene that attracted a lot of attention.

  In twenty-something minutes, the fleet arrived at Celestial Foothill. The mansions were all located in this area.

  Liu Dajun only had to show his face for the security guards in the area to immediately let them into Celestial Foothill Gardens.

  The area boasted an enchanting view of mountains and lakes. Tang Hao fell in love with the place.

  Each of the mansions had different designs and were furnished according to its building style. After looking at all the offerings, Tang Hao picked one with a modern building style. It was also equipped with a swimming pool and garden.

  After making his choice, Liu Dajun brought Tang Hao to get the paperwork done.

  To celebrate his recent mansion purchase, Liu Dajun and the rest decided to convene at Beyond Heavens Restaurant later in the evening to have dinner.
