Chapter 78: Pei Yinghe!

  On New Year's Eve, I wish all book friends who are reunited with their families or still drifting and busy outside, a happy reunion, happiness and peace. All I can do is to express my wishes through diligent typing.

  He saw this middle-aged man, took a glance at the center of Da Hongmei, as if asking something, and then ran all the way into Yuanchunyan Medicine House, and smoothed his sparse hair.

  He was indeed the patriarch of the Xigang family, Pei Yinghe.

  Learning that Xiao Hong was moving out, for the Xigang family, this could be called a dispensable matter. However, upon learning of Pei Ping's words, Pei Yinghe had to take it seriously.

  He thought deeply, although Mrs. Lei didn't blame Pei Ping's behavior too much, but Xiao Hong's withdrawal gave him the first feeling that he might still have a grudge against the Xichuan family and try to cut off some connection with the Xichuan family. As Xiao Hong, the younger brother of Mrs. Lei, did not rent their house, it also meant cutting off one cooperation with the Zelei family.

  This is something that Pei Yinghe did not want to see, he dare not guarantee that today only one layer will be broken off, and tomorrow may directly break off all of it. Moreover, according to Pei Ping, Lei Furen and Xiao Hong's relationship is very close, so Pei Yinghe does not want to offend Xiao Hong.

  "Excuse me, which one is Mr. Xiao Hong?" asked Pei Yinghe cautiously as he walked into the front hall.

  "Who are you?" Xiao Hong asked, glancing slightly at the middle-aged man with a somewhat bald head in front of him. However, he had already guessed eight times in his heart who was standing opposite him. Who else could drive such a good car and have an expression full of fear towards himself, except for someone from the Xichuan family?

  "I am the head of the Xigang family, my surname is Pei, and I'm called Yinghe. I heard that Mr. Xiao wants to move out, so I'd like to ask, what are you dissatisfied with about our house? Or is there anything we've done that's not up to par? Please let us know and we'll try our best to satisfy you. It's just that...I hope you can consider this, Mr. Xiao, regarding the rent issue, we can negotiate a discount of 20%." Pei Yinghe spoke with a slightly subservient tone, but in his eyes, Xiao Hong was just a young whippersnapper; however, the woman behind him, Mrs. Lei, was not to be underestimated.

  Besides, giving a 20% discount and being free are almost the same, the only purpose is to win over Xiao Hong, don't let Xiao Hong have any resentment.

  "It turned out to be the clan leader, but your house, we really don't need it anymore. Of course, this is a breach of contract on our part, but as for the remaining rent, we won't take it." Xiao Hong glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him and said gently, what he said was also true. If the two houses were adjacent, he could consider connecting them and continuing to rent, but with this street separating the two houses, it really didn't have much use. Moreover, the large house they had now was already sufficient for Xiao Hong's needs.

  "Hey, Xiao Lao Di, it's not easy to make money, how can you just say no to rent?" Pei Yinghe leaned in closer to Xiao Hong and tried to get on his good side.

  "Mr. Pei, don't worry too much. Although I, Xiao Hong, can't compare to a wealthy family like yours, I still have some money on hand, just a few gold coins, nothing significant." Xiao Hong smiled and said, seeming to have already guessed Mr. Pei's thoughts from his actions.

  However, his expression didn't change much, he was thinking about how to deal with it.

  "Xiao younger brother, to be honest with you, you're not short of money, but I'm short of connections. If you leave like this, I won't be able to explain it to the Ze Lei family. You also know that Pei Ping is a dead weight... Ah." Seeing Xiao Hong's determination to leave, Pei Yinghe decided to speak the truth.

  "Ah, so that's what Brother Pei was after. I didn't catch on earlier, sorry about that." Xiao Hong feigned a look of sudden realization and reached out to put his hand on Pei Yinghe's shoulder, getting down to business: "Actually, I don't want to make things difficult for Brother Pei, but the house...I really don't need it. However...if Brother Pei can find a way to build a skybridge between the entrance of Yuanchunyuan and the house you rented to me, connecting the two, then I think it might be doable. Of course, Dahong Pharmacy can cover part of the costs, but the key is getting approval - I hope Brother Pei can help out."

  Actually, on the day when Chunyan Pharmacy moved away, Xiao Hong had such an idea in his heart - to build a bridge. It seemed that it was just connecting two places together, but in fact, Xiao Hong's purpose went beyond that. Since both ends of the sky bridge faced directly at the center of Dahongmei, basically anyone who crossed the sky bridge would see this place with their first glance.

  What's more important is that once Xiao Hong invests in the construction, the advertising positions at both ends of the overpass will also be owned by Xiao Hong. As long as Xiao Hong sets up eye-catching billboards on it, passing vehicles and pedestrians can see them, which can definitely produce a huge advertising effect.

  Building a small overpass also doesn't cost much money, about fifty gold coins or so, and the benefits it brings are absolutely not small.

  Bai Yinghe, who was standing beside him, heard Xiao Hong's condition and thought for a moment before nodding his head in great satisfaction.

  "No problem, I'll take care of the approval process. I guarantee it will be done by tomorrow." Pei Yinghe responded with great ease, after all, most of the funds were provided by Xiao Honglai, and he only needed to use his connections in the city planning department, which was a simple task, even if he had to pay out of his own pocket to build the bridge, it would only cost a few dozen gold coins at most, or over a hundred for a more luxurious one, which was nothing but a drop in the bucket for the Xichuan family.

  After chatting with Xiao Hong for a few more sentences, Pei Yinghe left with a smile on his face and even got a gold membership card, saying it was for his wife, but in fact it was also a way of pulling strings.

  After seeing Pei Yingping off, Xiao Hong slightly turned his body and instructed Li Le behind him: "Wait a minute, you bring two people, find some workers, and renovate the house rented to us in Xichuan into a waiting room. Don't let our customers line up outside, let them wait inside, it's more comfortable. Remember to make the environment better, and set up a counter inside to sell the beauty products we've developed."

  "I understand." Li Le smiled and responded, chasing away that damn payment, moving to a new home, and changing to a better house, he was naturally very happy.

  After more than ten minutes, the goods ordered by Li Le in various shopping malls also arrived one after another. There were medical devices and some furniture. Although they couldn't be considered expensive, they were already a bit higher-end compared to before. After all, Xiao Hong's financial situation had improved now, and there was no need to be so frugal.

  In addition to this, Xiao Hong also purchased several precision instruments specifically for making moles, as well as a large batch of books that he had wanted previously but had not been able to find near the academy.

  Learning has no bounds, and Xiao Hong is clearer about this than anyone else.

  After simply entrusting some matters to Li Le, Xiao Hong directly stretched out his hand and hailed a taxi, heading straight for Shang Hong's tattoo parlor. The main purpose was to purchase materials for making tattoos and beauty drugs.

  This time, Xiao Hong's crafted ninth-level war pattern is called Rose. The required core material is a type of spiritual beast brain marrow called Double-headed Golden Winged Crow. This spiritual beast has the characteristics of being fast and extremely agile in mid-air flight. When threatened, the fiery red feathers on its wings will explode, hot and sharp, like flying knives, making it almost impossible to dodge, and can only be blocked by strong self-defense.

  It's even more expensive than the brain of a Viper Mamba, selling for over thirty gold coins.

  Arriving at Shang Hong's Magic Weave Store, Xiao Hong had already been here once before and had some understanding of the place. With time to spare, he strolled along the way to the fifth floor's material district.

  At the same time, in a luxurious office on the top floor of Shang Hong Magic Weaving Co., Ltd., Sang Hongyun was sitting at a large desk, and in front of him, on a row of sofas, sat Zhao Qing and seven or eight men and women who were all dressed neatly. They were all loyal subordinates of Sang Hongyun and high-level managers of Shang Hong Magic Weaving Co., Ltd.

  At this moment, Sang Hongyun was listening to the recent movements of various aspects of Taiwu City. What attracted Sang Hongyun's attention was Mo Xuan and his army fighting in Xigou Street, as well as secretly searching for Quan Cang's news.

  "Let them continue to search, I also want to see the true face of Quan Cang, who is it." Sang Hongyun responded softly. Mo Xuan's approach can be said to have been expected by him long ago, and he had also anticipated that Mo Xuan would secretly investigate in Taiwu City, and the first ones to be suspected would likely be the so-called Taiwu Three Heroes.

  "Also, recently, Hexi District has a large Hongmei Center, business is exceptionally hot. My wife went once and I found that their produced moisturizing cream is very good. We intend to get the formula from them and operate together. What do you think, Mr. Sang?" General Manager of Shanghong Magic Mark, Park Jia Zhi reported to Sang Hongyun.

  "Da Hong?" Without a doubt, Sang Hongyun remembered this name, Xiao Hong's store. However, what surprised Sang Hongyun was that he had been there once before, and it was extremely deserted, almost to the point of collapse. But he didn't expect that in just a few days, Xiao Hong would be revived again.

  It can be said that now this Xiao Hong has become more and more puzzling for Sang Hongyun.

  "Yes, I did some research before and this moisturizing cream has great market potential. However, the Dahongmei store is always a small shop and it's hard to promote it widely, so the sales are just average in our eyes." Park Jazhi continued, carefully placing the moisturizer his wife had used in front of Sang Hongyun. The packaging was not exquisite, just an ordinary small glass bottle, even the label on top was handwritten.

  Pick up the small glass bottle, Sang Hongyun examined it for a moment, lightly sniffed it, and then touched some on the back of his hand to feel it before speaking: "Go, bring Xiao Hong over to me, I want to have another talk with him face-to-face."
