Mr. Wu gave the employee a stare and then gently said to Murong Xue, "What do you think we should do?"

Murong Xue said in a cold voice, "You're the manager. Of course, it's up to you. But I'm in such a bad mood now that I don't want to buy it!" She would not attack unless she was not attacked.

Mr. Wu pondered for a moment before saying to the aggressive saleswoman indifferently, "Go home. You don't need to come here anymore, and I will pay you the salary later."

"But Mr. Wu..." The woman opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"Did you forget all about the staff code? I heard you talk to our customers in a loud and rude manner. You have violated the regulations of the company." Mr. Wu said.

"Mr. Wu, did you forget Mr. Liu? He won't allow you to fire me!" Mr. Liu was her former boss, who was about 40 years old and was well-heeled in the capital. Though not in the same league as those prestigious families, he lived a pretty good life. She managed to hook up with Mr. Liu when he was looking for a house, and then she became his mistress. Mr. Liu also brought her many customers, which was why she had an outstanding performance in the company. Because her commission was very high, she didn't want to leave.

She was not stupid. Mr. Liu was willing to pamper her only because he was still interested in her. She was sure to be dumped once he got bored with her. A job was the true prop of her life.

"Mr. Liu? I believe he won't be so stupid as to be against our Tengfei Group." What a naive girl! She was just a petty saleswoman and took herself too seriously. Besides, Mr. Liu alone was no threat to Tengfei Group, and they just accommodated him as he was their customer.

The woman bit her lips and stormed out in high heels. D*rn it! She remembered Murong Xue.

"Miss, are you satisfied?" Mr. Wu asked with a smile.

"That is your own business, and I have nothing to do with it. I want this villa. When can I get it done?" Murong Xue asked. She didn't want to stay in the hotel, and it was better to live in a place of her own.

"Miss, one-off or by installments?"

"One-off. I'll transfer the money."

"Okay, please follow me to go through the formalities."

It didn't take long for her to get it done with the help of Mr. Wu. Because Murong Xue bought an estate worth over 100 million yuan, she was now a VIP of Tengfei Real Estate and was entitled to all kinds of disposal rights.

Murong Xue drove to her new house. The villa was between Alice College and University of Medicine, which made it convenient for the two of them to go to school. They could walk to school.

The villa covered an area of more than 2,000 square meters and came complete with a garden where there were some weeds but they didn't detract from the beauty of flowers in full bloom. Left to the garden were a small pavilion and the rockery plus running water, while a swimming pool was on the right side. The three-story villa had a white exterior of European style. Coupled with the garden, it had Murong Xue refreshed.

She toured around the villa to see if there was anything to be improved and found that apart from an underground garage, there was also an underground warehouse. That was great for her. She could put her stuff in three rooms in the warehouse. She thought at first that she had to build one somewhere, but now there was no need.

The living room and kitchen were on the first floor. There were about 20 small rooms next to the corridor, which were probably for servants. But she didn't want any servants as it would be too troublesome. Security guards were needed, and the security system of the villa had to be reinstalled.

On the second and third floors, there were enough master bedrooms and guest bedrooms. Moreover, there was a gym on each floor, which suited Murong Xue just fine.

Now the villa was bought, and the rest was to figure out people with power in the capital. She could have someone to investigate, but she didn't want to attract much attention. Besides, she had an acquaintance here. He was sure to know. Why bother investigating?

Murong Xue called Chu Yisen. This time she didn't make an appointment outside. Instead, she told him the address of her villa directly because she had much to ask and it was not safe to go to restaurants. Fortunately, there was enough food in her Space. There was no need to go out to buy some. She had even prepared a lot of rice, sauces, edible oil, and vinegar. The food in the Space would become more delicious and would not deteriorate thanks to the spiritual qi in the Space.

She took out a lot of things and filled the kitchen and refrigerator, ready to prepare lunch. Chu Yisen may get here in half an hour, enough time for her to make lunch. She never skimped when it came to food: She used spiritual water when cooking.

About 40 minutes passed, and the doorbell rang.

Murong Xue had just got lunch ready. With her apron on, she pressed the iron gate switch outside the garden and then opened the garage door and then the door of the villa. For her, Chu Yisen was a family member like mom and dad, so she didn't see anything wrong with going out like this.

"Yisen, you're finally here!" Murong Xue stood at the door and happily greeted Chu Yisen coming her way.

His eyes lit up. He liked to see the cheerful and breezy style of her in front of him, which made him feel so close to her. "This is for you. Congratulations on moving to a new home!"

"Thank you. Come on in. I've already made lunch and let's eat together." Murong Xue took the delicate and charming red roses and put them in the vase in the living room.

She went into the kitchen and put the dishes she had prepared on the table. There were four main courses and one soup. These were enough for two people. "Come and have lunch here." She motioned Chu Yisen to come and filled bowls with rice and soup.

"Okay." Chu Yisen smiled.

"Your culinary skills are getting better." It seemed that a long time had passed since he ate the meal cooked by her in A province. The pleasant and tempting taste lingered in his memory. Even after he returned to the capital, he kept on recalling the taste. He even tried some high-end restaurants but didn't find a similar taste. As time wore on, he realized that what was made by Murong Xue was unique.

"I guess not. It's the same for me, but my ingredients are different from those bought outside." Her cooking was not better. It was the ingredients she had that were good.

"Hey, aren't they the same? Why do I feel that even the rice is delicious?" His appetite grew and he couldn't stop eating.

"They are newly produced by me, and it will soon be put into the market, and then good food is accessible to everyone." She really had this plan, but now her business was not small, and she didn't want to be the target of the attack, so it didn't expand so quickly.

Chu Yisen was shocked. If the ingredients were really so good, it could be imagined how much sensation the vegetable would cause when it got into the market. Besides, it was a necessity. He seemed to see the bright future of the business empire built by Murong Xue.

Even the skincare products were not common. Murong Xue was not simple. Maybe one day, she would surpass those families with power and influence. He was afraid that her business would be destroyed halfway. If he didn't know her, with the information he just got, he would definitely do something to prevent her from rising after he went back. But not now, he would even protect her from being hurt.

"Xue, don't tell others what you had just said. Doing business is like fighting on the battlefield. Others would not be so kind to let you develop and become strong." Chu Yisen warned her in a soft manner.

Murong Xue smiled. "I know. I told you because I trusts you. Will you stand against me?"

"How come! Of course not."

"Alright then. I know you won't, so I tell the truth... Okay, let's drop it. The meal is getting cold. After dinner, I still have a lot to ask you for help."

She believed in him. Chu Yisen smiled.

After dinner, they sat in the living room.

"Yisen, can you tell me what the big forces in the capital are? I'm going to expand my business there, as its development in A province is mature."

"You want to delve into the market in the capital?" Chu Yisen asked in surprise.

"Yes. I'm going to go to university in the capital next month, so I happen to have time to deal with business in the capital."

"Markets in the capital have been saturated. Given that your products are not common, they may sell well. The problem is that all major industries there are strictly controlled by big families. It is not so easy to get into the market. I'm afraid your business will be nipped in the bud. Those families will not allow threats to exist." He was telling the truth. Even he couldn't prevent that from happening. After all, big families were subject to checks and balances. Unless their own family was at risk, they wouldn't get into conflicts with others. Or it would lead to chaos.

Murong Xue knew it wasn't so easy. She meant to start from scratch and expand slowly so that they weren't able to stop her when they found out. But Chu Yisen's words suggested that even small businesses would be strictly monitored. She knew how special the medicines produced by Rise Group were, and they were sure to attract some eyeballs. She was too rash. Murong Xue frowned, "Yisen, let's put aside other industries. I can expand AX to the capital, right? After all, AX and Lizi Pavilion are business partners." As for Rise Group, she had to discuss it further with Mr. Gu, and they should have noticed it.

"AX? That's possible. Some of the products you offered have been delivered to the capital for trial use. Many people guess that AX is an affiliate of Lizi Pavilion, so we can support and protect AX. "

"Then I'll start expanding AX first. As for others, I'll find other ways. Thank you, Yisen."

"No big deal! Speaking of which, I still owe you my life, and I'm the one who needs to say thank you. By the way, since you're going to study in the capital, I'd better tell you something about the big families there. It's better to know more."

"Great! Out with it. I'm always worried that I might offend those who cannot be offended before I know it."

"The first family is the Shangguan Family. It runs a large business and gets involved with various forces, either bad or good. It is also the head of the five plutocrats. The heir is the Prince in the capital, Shangguan Mo." Chu Yisen paused and glanced at Murong Xue. He didn't forget her relationship with Shangguan Mo. Thinking of how she was crying her heart out that day, he could still feel his heart aching.

Hearing his name, Murong Xue felt a spasm of pain. She thought she had let go of it. Her face suddenly blanched, but she would not cry, and there was no point crying. They had been perfect strangers since then. There was no entanglement between them. She nodded slightly and motioned Chu Yisen to continue.

Seeing her face change, Chu Yisen regretted bringing it up. He meant to remind her of the danger posed by the Shangguan Family.

But she had to let it go, and he would always be there to protect her until her wound healed. "Shangguan Mo is now in power, but many people refuse to obey him. His brother, Shangguan Lin, is said to be one of them. They seem to be at odds with each other and have never appeared together in public. Their grandfather, Shangguan Zhi, had been mediating between them. No one in the Shangguan Family dares to disobey Shangguan Zhi. In addition, the Shangguan Family is the only one in the capital that deals with all industries."

Murong Xue nodded. In fact, when she was still with Shangguan Mo, she got to know something about the Shangguan Family. At that time, she thought she would be with him forever.

"The second-largest family is our Chu Family. We are also one of the five plutocrats but rank fifth. The other three are not in our Country A. Our Chu Family is mainly engaged in the beauty industry, real estate, and the stone gambling industry. As far as I know, your villa was purchased from Tengfei Real Estate owned by my family. I just checked the villas in the capital a few days ago and found it out. I didn't expect it was bought by you. My father Chu Haofang is the master now, but I still need my grandpa's approval for important things. I am the heir to the Chu Family, at least on the surface. My sister is Chu Lingling, whom you have met. She is an unruly young lady."
