My beautiful CEO wife

"Soul Holy Stone?"

"What a great name, much better than Ancestor Statue."

Xiao Zheng praised.

After saying this, he put the two statues into his pocket for safekeeping.

Hades glanced at him and then spoke: "The creation of the remaining two Soul Holy Stones will have to wait until tomorrow. It’s still early, do you have any plans for today?"

She secretly guessed in her heart, believing that Xiao Zheng would continue to hunt down the ancient clan people.

In fact, Xiao Zheng indeed intended to do so, but unfortunately, not now.

Because he hadn’t been able to learn the whereabouts of other ancient clan members from Alphonso and Leo. However, he wasn’t without tasks to do, during the waiting period for the completion of the Soul Holy Stones, he decided to take a trip back to Jonah City.

Although Xiao Zheng had already taught Carlos a lesson at that time, he still hadn’t vented his pent-up frustration completely.

"I have a minor issue to resolve today, I should be back by evening."

Xiao Zheng said.

As for what exactly the issue was, he didn’t tell Hades.

Because Xiao Zheng thought it was just a small matter, whether he said it or not, it didn’t matter.

Upon hearing this, Hades nodded and said: "Then go ahead with your tasks, with me here, those two in the dungeon won’t have any issues."

Xiao Zheng then waved at her and turned to fly out of the Temple.

Soon, he once again arrived in Jonah City.

When Xiao Zheng arrived at the headquarters of the Moer Consortium, the first thing he saw was the receptionist lady sitting at the front desk. Coincidentally, this was his fourth visit here, and each time the receptionist lady he encountered was the same person.

The receptionist lady obviously recognized Xiao Zheng as well, and after a moment of surprise, she proactively said: "Sorry sir, Mr. Carlos is currently in a meeting, so he’s not available to see you."

"If you want to see him, I can schedule an appointment for you..."

Her voice grew softer and eventually became inaudible.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng laughed and said: "How could there be such a coincidence in the world? The first three times I came, Carlos was on a business trip. Now on my fourth visit, you’re telling me he’s in a meeting."

"Sir, I’m truly sorry, Mr. Carlos is indeed in a meeting now..." the receptionist lady said, quite troubled.

Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "Let’s not talk about that, miss, how about we make a bet?"

A bet?

The receptionist lady was initially stunned, then curiously asked: "Bet on what?"

"Let’s bet on whether Carlos will come down to meet me personally. If I lose, I’ll give you one million euros, how about that?" Xiao Zheng grinned and said.

"And if I lose?" The receptionist lady was somewhat tempted by the mention of one million euros.

Xiao Zheng smirked and said: "If you lose, give me your phone number and accompany me for a drink after work, deal?"

The receptionist lady immediately blushed, momentarily at a loss for what to say.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t bear to tease her further and said with a smile: "Just call Carlos now and tell him Xiao Zheng is looking for him. Don’t worry, if you get fired, I’ll still pay you one million euros."

This one million euros seemed to have given the receptionist lady a strong boost of confidence.

After careful consideration, she ultimately decided to call Carlos’s office.

Actually, Carlos wasn’t in a meeting at the moment, but was sitting in his office handling documents. Upon hearing the phone ring, he didn’t think too much and answered promptly.

When he heard "Xiao Zheng" spoken by the receptionist lady, his eyes instantly revealed deep horror and fear!

The incident that took place at Vikas Bar that night seemed to replay vividly before him!

Barely regaining his composure, Carlos wiped his cold sweat and said: "I understand. Make sure to entertain him well, I’ll come down immediately!"

What!

Carlos was actually going to come down personally to greet Xiao Zheng!

The receptionist lady, hearing this, looked at Xiao Zheng with shock on her face. Although she knew Xiao Zheng was from the Qianqiu Group, her understanding of him was limited to that.

Only just now did she speculate that Xiao Zheng might be someone truly important!

Not long after, Carlos indeed appeared in the lobby on the first floor.

Seeing him bow and scrape in a sycophantic manner towards Xiao Zheng, the receptionist lady gazed at Xiao Zheng with even greater fervor. Never mind going out for a drink in the evening, she wouldn’t even mind going to a hotel.

However, Xiao Zheng was just joking with her earlier, and after waving goodbye, he followed Carlos into the internal elevator.

Disregarding the receptionist lady’s disappointment, Xiao Zheng followed Carlos and quickly arrived at his office.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Xiao, I’ll make some tea for you!"

After inviting Xiao Zheng to sit, Carlos was prepared to make tea for him.

Although he was a Westerner, he knew a little about tea culture.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng crossed his legs and said: "No need to bother with that, I didn’t come here to drink tea. About the Paradise Island project, how is your consortium considering it? Have you selected a cooperation partner?"

Hearing this, Carlos instantly grasped his meaning and quickly said: "Not yet. Among all potential partners, only your Qianqiu Group is our most satisfactory choice!"

"Heh, now you know to bow your head? What were you doing before?" Xiao Zheng glanced at him, his tone filled with deep disdain and mockery.

Carlos’s face turned various shades, and then he said awkwardly: "I was blind to Taishan before, it’s all my fault! Rest assured, if you’re willing to collaborate with our consortium to jointly develop Paradise Island, we can sell you forty percent of Paradise Island’s shares once it’s built!"

"Sell? Sorry, even if you want to sell, I’m not interested in buying!" Xiao Zheng sneered and said, "Let me be frank with you, I’m here to tell you that your consortium’s investment in the Paradise Island project is scrapped!"

"If you dare proceed, I don’t mind sending people to disrupt it!"

He was blatantly being unreasonable!

Yet Carlos was helpless against him, having to swallow this bitterness because, after all, it was his mistake in the first place, and Xiao Zheng’s current visit was justified in seeking retribution.

However, thinking of the consequences of the Paradise Island plan failing, Carlos shuddered!
