“I don’t know the specifics. All I know is that his account has been frozen! I think it must be because the cashflows have been too substantial. I think he’s being investigated!”

　　“Mm, that must be it. I’ll give him a call myself.” Chen Xiaobei had sort of expected it to happen. “Is there any money left from the acquisition?”

　　“There’s about 1.35 billion left.”

　　“Go ahead and transfer the money into your account. Take it as commission for your service.”

　　“What… Bro Bei, are you kidding? That’s too much…”

　　Commissions in the financial industry had always been high but they rarely exceeded ten million – any sum over that was unprecedented!

　　And Chen Xiaobei had just, in one sentence, given away 1.35 billion in commission. It was as if money meant nothing to him!

　　“I’m not joking. You did your job well and deserve to be rewarded! Just take the money. I will never unfairly treat those who help me.

　　“Alright! Then I shall accept it with honor!”

　　Wei Suo understood how bullish Chen Xiaobei could be, so he did not refuse him the second time.

　　With the acceptance of this money, Wei Suo completely surrendered his loyalty to Chen Xiaobei. “Bro Bei! From today onwards, please come to whenever you have use of me! We, the Weis of Hong Kong will do all we can for you! We would rather die than to refuse you!”

　　“Alright. I won’t let you die!” Chen Xiaobei laughed. “I need to go check up on the situation on the other side. I’ll need to hang up now!”

　　“Alright! Goodbye, Bro Bei!”, saluted Wei Suo.

　　Chen Xiaobei hung up and immediately dialed Focker’s number.

　　Even though Chen Xiaobei had no regard for money and riches, he did not have the billions to acquire Ma Organization. It was, obviously, coming out of Focker’s pocket.

　　Moving that amount of money was of no big deal for someone like him.

　　The only problem was that Focker’s finances were monitored by his family. Every cent spent must be spent with reason and used for capitalization.

　　An expenditure of billions of RMB out of the blue and in one transaction would certainly get their heads turning!

　　“Bro Bei!”

　　Focker picked up the call almost immediately.

　　“What’s happening on your end? I heard from Wei Suo that your account has been frozen!” asked Chen Xiaobei.

　　“Yeah… I moved such a large amount of money that the old folks were all shaken. I think they are going to send investigators to question me…”

　　“Don’t worry. I will send you some Spiritual Stones. You can tell them you spent all that money on Spiritual Stones!” Chen Xiaobei said.

　　100 billion yuan could buy 100 low-grade Spiritual Stones. To Chen Xiaobei, this was a negligible amount.

　　“Alright! That’s such a relief to hear!” Focker exhaled.

　　If he could not make up for that amount of money, he would be severely punished by his family.

　　“Tomorrow is Duanwu festival. I can only send them to you the day after. Will that be too late?”

　　“No. Not at all. I can hold on for 3 to 5 days!”

　　“Alright. Then it’s all set then. See you in Paradise Island!”

　　“Understood! I’ll be waiting for you!”

　　…

　　Since that was not too big an issue, Chen Xiaobei did not take it at heart but turned around facing Song Qincheng, all-smiles . She had already put on all her clothes.

　　“Don’t bother me!” Song Qincheng glared at Chen Xiaobei. “You should go take care of that love debts that you owe! Don’t give all my other sisters a cold shoulder!”

　　“Oh…” Chen Xiaobei rubbed his forehead. “Won’t you get jealous?”

　　“What is there to be jealous of? Since the day I got together with you, I’ve already accepted that I’m going to be your backstage lover!” Song Qincheng was very straightforward. “Even if a man like you decides to commit your heart to a person, girls will not stop at anything to get their hands on you! I know that there are many women out there who are better than me. I’m not confident enough to monopolize you!”

　　“What lover? I already told you many times that you are my woman! I’ve already told my parents that you are their daughter-in-law! You’ll know when we get back to Bei Xuan!”

　　“What? You made our relationship public already?”

　　Song Qincheng’s cheek turned as red as summer wine.

　　Like Chen Xiaobei, she had no problem getting wild and dirty with her lover but in front of other people, she appeared reserved and decorous. If their relationship were to be announced to the public, she would not know how to face the Bei Xuan people.

　　“An ugly woman would sooner or later have to meet her in laws! But my Qincheng’s beauty is enough to overthrow a country. So why should we tiptoe around the topic?” Chen Xiaobei smiled.

　　“I…” Song Qincheng felt a warmth spread inside her. “Fine then! I’ll meet them! Since I can’t be your lover, then I will have to be your wife! I’ll be relying you for the rest of my life!”

　　“You are more than welcome!”

　　A smile spread across Chen Xiaobei’s lips.

　　“Alright! I have to get back to work! You better go take care of my sisters!” Song Qincheng said, “I am serious. Sis Lan came to Dragon City latterly. I think she’s in some sort of trouble!”

　　“Mengchen?” Chen Xiaobei studied Song Qincheng. “Alright, since my wife is so upstanding, I’ll gladly oblige! I haven’t seen Mengchen in a while now. I wonder how she’s doing?”

　　……

　　In the outskirts of the city, in the Bei Cheng Cosmetics factory.

　　After a long period of construction work, a large, modern cosmetics factory stood tall on what was once a wasteland.

　　Other than producing Europe’s most advanced cosmetics line, this place was also well-equipped with facilities such as staff quarters, entertainment zones, and sports facilities.

　　The great work environment and generous management attracted the first batch of workers in no time.

　　Today was the launch day of their very first line of products!

　　“CEO Lan, please take a look at our first Bei Cheng hydrating essence! This other one is Bei Cheng whitening essence cream!” A middle-aged man in gold-framed glasses said, signaling at the two beautifully designed glass bottles.

　　The first bottle was aqua blue, like sapphire! The other one was ebony like black gemstones!

　　The packaging itself ensured that these two bottles, labelled Bei Chen, were of a luxury lineup. The general public may not be able to afford them.

　　The man in the gold-framed glasses praisedfurther, saying, “I’ve been researching cosmetics for more than ten years now! I’ve also spent nearly eight years in Europe’s most prestigious research team! But this, I believe, our Bei Cheng product is definitely the best in the world!”

　　“Oh?” the woman called CEO Lan, a young woman, asked with great interest. “What is your opinion, Xugong?”
