Chapter 638 - 39: Yezi’s Open Scheme (Part 2)
CHAPTER 638: CHAPTER 39: YEZI’S OPEN SCHEME (PART 2)
The Star Rhinoceros Stone that Fiji gave to Yezi originally contained nearly a hundred illusion beasts brought from Beast Star. During Fiji’s arduous interstellar shuttle, these illusion beasts died one after another. By the time it reached Yezi’s hands, several more died due to improper care, leaving only three illusion beasts along with Little Pig and the horsebees.
Yezi could now easily control both the horsebees and Little Pig, but there was still one illusion beast left called the Dream Language Beast, which could devour a person’s dreams and understand them. It was quite ugly, completely white and hairless, about the size of a sheep, with red eyes and a long nose, and its eyes were sunken in.
Like Fiji, the Dream Language Beast initially did not accept Yezi. Yezi tested repeatedly, patiently communicating with it through psychic connection, and only recently did it start to show improvement, occasionally responding to her during their psychic interactions.
Yezi had not exchanged many words with the Dream Language Beast when her thoughts were abruptly interrupted.
"Thump thump thump," a sound of flapping wings outside the window.
Yezi got up, first opened the refrigerator, took out a packet of processed fish meat, and then opened the window, allowing the Little Pig clad in fiery red feathers to fly in.
"Did you find the Feng Bird?" Yezi threw a piece of fresh black fish meat to Little Pig, who, tilting its short neck back, swallowed the slim piece of fish and then contentedly shook its head.
"What about Xiao Xian? I told you to scout the Agricultural Specialty Store. All you do is fly around aimlessly every day and never get anything done," Yezi feigned an angry demeanor and tapped Little Pig’s red-feathered head.
Little Pig lowered its head, its bird eyes looking pitiful. Upon closer inspection, Yezi noticed a ball of paper grasped in Little Pig’s foot.
Spreading out the paper, Yezi saw a row of words that were broken and disjointed, not forming a coherent sentence: "tobacco... opium... plan ... Roster... begins." The words, not a complete sentence, seemed to be written in a rush by someone who, fearing being seen, did so deliberately in a vague manner.
"Found in Huang Teng Chong’s villa?" Although Yezi wasn’t certain about Huang Teng Chong’s affairs, she roughly knew he had a secluded villa in the Beijing Suburb, a place even the Meixin siblings had never visited, "Was it found in a trash can?"
What the Roster family was about, as well as the opium and tobacco, Yezi could not guess what Huang Teng Chong intended.
The phone rang, and to make his work more convenient, Huang Teng Chong had set him up with a mobile phone. Yezi initially had trouble getting used to it, but after half a year, he found himself quite dependent on it. It was also very convenient for calling Mama at home.
"Ah Ye, you’re not bent over the toilet throwing up, are you?" Huang Teng Chong slurred, with the voice of Meixin gently persuading him in the background.
"I threw up a while ago, still feeling nauseous," Yezi replied distractedly, uncertain if Huang Teng Chong was ranting nonsense due to being drunk, but based on Yezi’s understanding of Huang Teng Chong, the man never drank himself to oblivion, always keeping at least a third of his wits about him. Therefore, this phone call tonight may not be entirely made up of drunken words.
"At the hotel just now, it was too noisy for me to hear clearly, you seemed to say something about buying New Year goods to send back home? Brother Huang recently got access to some top-quality ginseng. You’ve made a fair bit of money for the company this year, come over tomorrow and I’ll give you a bonus. You can also pick out some ginseng at my friend’s place. And don’t just hide at home all day; get out and broaden your horizons. Tomorrow I’ll introduce you to people from the Roster family and the Xu family, they have some truly stunning beauties. I guarantee that once you meet them, you’ll lose your soul and forget all about your little girlfriend," Huang Teng Chong salivated and chuckled, supporting Meixin who bowed her head with reddened eyes.
The people from the Roster family and Xu family that Huang Teng Chong mentioned were none other than Aisha, who had recently arrived in Beijing, and Xu Lan Ya, who was also on her "New Year’s leave". Each of them represented a beauty icon: Aisha was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Western beauty, whereas Xu Lan Ya was an enchanting and passionate Eastern belle. Huang Teng Chong was itching with anticipation at the thought of meeting both of them tomorrow.
Huang Teng Chong hadn’t initially planned to bring Yezi along to the meeting tomorrow. He didn’t trust Yezi that much yet, and besides, Yezi’s good looks were an eyesore to Huang Teng Chong, making him feel inferior. However, the Xu family behind Xu Lan Ya mentioned that they wanted to develop a medicinal herb business in the Northern region but had to be cautious at the moment and couldn’t be overly conspicuous. They asked Huang Teng Chong to find someone to act as a front. The ideal candidate would be someone unfamiliar with medicinal herbs, a fresh face who didn’t talk much, but was capable.
Huang Teng Chong couldn’t find someone like that on short notice. But after the drinks tonight, he thought that Yezi would be a good fit. Yezi was just a junior high school graduate with limited knowledge; all his attention used to be on rearing Hairy Crabs. For the moment, Huang Teng Chong dared not to entrust him with other business affairs, yet he was too fond of Yezi to let him go. Now that the Xu family needed someone, it would be a perfect opportunity to test Yezi’s loyalty. If he turned out to be suitable, Huang Teng Chong could gradually reveal more business matters to him. This way, Huang wouldn’t suffer any loss and could please both the Roster family and the Xu family. Why not do it?
So, right after the dinner party ended, Huang Teng Chong immediately made a phone call to Yezi.
If Yezi hadn’t seen the note brought back by Little Pig tonight, he truly would not be interested in meeting any stunning beauties. Yezi had accompanied Huang Teng Chong to social gatherings a few times, and they were always attended by women in thick makeup, whose perfume alone was enough to leave Yezi feeling dizzy and faint. The Roster family and the people from the Xu family were not business partners of the Huang family. Especially the Roster family, which must be the one mentioned in the note; thinking it over, Yezi made up his mind, "Alright, then I’ll accompany Brother Huang tomorrow to have a look."

Annoying author’s chit-chat is free, thank you to "co^0^co" and "*Pirate Luffy*" for the pink tickets.
A mini-theater asking for recommendation tickets and subscriptions for the new book, and pink tickets for the old one:
Yezi lamented to the author: When will I ever meet Xiao Xian?
Fu Zi, munching on sugar cane and spraying, said: You’ll meet her when my new book makes it to the top of the charts.
Yezi’s eyes welled up with tears as he gazed at the readers: The most pitiful thing in the world isn’t being a male supporting character, it’s being a male supporting character under Fu Zi’s pen; I haven’t met the female protagonist for years.
Big Brother Zhou displayed his Cloud Ascension Technique, appearing out of nowhere, kicking Yezi aside: Go to hell, I haven’t seen the female protagonist in days, go line up over there.
