Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Liang Bo Arrives

Bai Xiaofan made a simple gesture, but the bigwigs present were well aware of it. Clearly, Bai Xiaofan meant that this position would be held by Su Shiqi from now on!

Sure enough, after everyone sat down, Bai Xiaofan raised his glass as a gesture to everyone, and then spoke softly.

“I’ve been away for the past six months, and I thank everyone for their efforts. From now on, what Shi Qi says is akin to what I would say, so I hope all of you can assist her. Let’s develop together and make money together!”

Bai Xiaofan’s words were simple, and they seemed perfectly reasonable!

However, during these six months, the families that had sided with Sima Changkong’s camp were nervous, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads, fearing that Bai Xiaofan would blame them!

The calmest among them was probably Li Yuan!

Because from beginning to end, the Li family had firmly stood by Bai Xiaofan’s side. Even though their economy suffered greatly from Sima Changkong’s suppression and was surpassed by many families, they remained steadfast!

Many members of the Li family had repeatedly persuaded Li Yuan not to persist, but he dismissed all their suggestions!

And it wasn’t just him. Even the now-retired elder of the Li family, Li Jianguo, was the same. Anyone who dared to suggest aligning with Sima Changkong would be met with a fierce glare!

It wasn’t that they were stubborn but because they knew Bai Xiaofan’s strength. They believed that once Bai Xiaofan returned, the landscape of Nanjing City and Jiang Province would revert to its former state, and the Sima family would be no exception!

The facts proved that their choice was correct!

At this moment, everyone looked at Bai Xiaofan sitting nearby, occasionally picking up a small wine pot, pouring a drink for himself. They all knew the man had returned, the mythical man had returned!

In just one day, the Su Group reclaimed its position as the leader of Jiang Province’s economy, and everything had returned to how it was!

For many, they hadn’t yet understood what had happened. The Zhanma Company, which had dominated Jiang Province for nearly six months, collapsed instantly!

Only a few knew that it was all because that man had returned!

The God of Death was still the God of Death, and whose majesty was not to be touched!

Bai Xiaofan spent half a month at home with everyone. During this time, he almost daily chatted, watched movies, and went shopping with them, as if there was nothing else to do!

However, Bai Xiaofan quite enjoyed this kind of life.

Moreover, his cultivation within him was growing at a truly insane rate.

That morning, just as Bai Xiaofan pushed open the door, a figure appeared at the entrance.

Seeing the figure, Bai Xiaofan smiled and stood up.

“Uncle Liang, why are you here?”

Yes, it was the very Uncle Liang who had stayed with Bai Xiaofan on Liusha Street for a long time!

“Mr. Bai, I’m here to follow you. I don’t expect anything else, just hope that I can accompany you in the future!”

After the battle across the river, Uncle Liang returned to Liusha Street, waited there for a week, and didn’t see Bai Xiaofan return. After some inquiries, he came to Nanjing City!

As he said, he had no other purpose coming here, just wanted to be by Bai Xiaofan’s side, even if it was as a servant!

It wasn’t that he wanted to demean himself, but during their time together, Uncle Liang discovered a problem. With his aptitude, it was tough to make any breakthrough in his cultivation, especially to reach the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!

But being with Bai Xiaofan was different. How long had it been, and he had already grown from the late Divinity Transformation stage to the pinnacle stage.

Believing that by staying with Bai Xiaofan, his future cultivation could definitely breakthrough to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!

Moreover, he admired Bai Xiaofan’s character greatly. Being by such a person’s side, there was only benefit and no harm!

So upon seeing Bai Xiaofan, Uncle Liang skipped unnecessary words and stated his purpose directly!

“Uncle Liang, what do you mean by that? We’re both men, it’d be awkward for you to follow me like that. Anyone who doesn’t know may think I have some special hobby!”

Bai Xiaofan said with a grin, already having guessed Uncle Liang’s intentions!

Moreover, in his heart, he had no objections!

While on Liusha Street, he had also noticed that although Uncle Liang was old, he was quite a decent person.

Though he hadn’t reached the early Transcendance Tribulation stage, he was only shy of some insights and fortune. With luck, it wouldn’t be long before he broke through!

“Cough, cough, Mr. Bai, I don’t really know how to respond to that!”

Uncle Liang coughed awkwardly, smiling as he spoke.

“Come, come, let’s drink. I was just worried about having no one to drink with me!”

Bai Xiaofan also smiled and invited, as they started drinking at the stone table!

“Oh, right, Mr. Bai, this pot of wine is from that girl from the Gao family. Knowing I was coming to find you, she asked me to bring you some plum wine. And this plum wine was personally brewed by Lu Aoxue, who also asked me to tell you that if the plum wine ever runs out, you can always go to her to get more as she has reserved a lot for you!”

After a few drinks, Uncle Liang took out a super-sized wine pot and handed it to Bai Xiaofan.

Listening to Uncle Liang and looking at the plum wine in front, Bai Xiaofan showed a helpless smile and poured the plum wine into his small wine pot.

Before long, Su Shiqi and the others also woke up, and after washing up, everyone sat together for breakfast!

Seeing these beauties, all prettier than Gao Shengnan, Uncle Liang understood why Bai Xiaofan was indifferent to Gao Shengnan’s affection!

If he were in the same situation, he would certainly be indifferent too!

After a brief introduction, Su Shiqi and the others weren’t particularly surprised by Uncle Liang. Based on what they knew, it was likely Bai Xiaofan would bring back a beauty this time.

Now it wasn’t a beauty but an old uncle, so naturally, there were no objections!

After breakfast, Su Shiqi and the others went to the company!

Meanwhile, Kong Kong and Bai Hu came over!

“The Sima family has sent people over, and they’re expected to arrive in Nanjing City by this afternoon!”

After sitting down, Bai Hu relayed the information he’d gathered to Bai Xiaofan!

“The Sima family? How did Mr. Bai get involved with them?”

Hearing the name Sima, Uncle Liang was taken aback, looking at Bai Xiaofan curiously.

After a simple explanation, Bai Xiaofan introduced them to each other.

Being all men, they nodded in acknowledgment, marking a temporary acquaintance.
