Chapter 585: Chapter 584 Oh my, this is a love rival!

After leaving Li Qiang’s company, they were all acting like devout followers, especially Li Huachao, who was holding a string of prayer beads as if he was a monk who had been fasting for a long time. He said, "Master, we were in a bit of a hurry before coming today. Now that the matter is taken care of, how about we go grab a bite to eat?"

He truly worshipped Wang Hao. This was actually quite normal; anybody who met someone who could even split themselves with their divine powers would be brought to their knees!

"Ah, no need to bother," Wang Hao smiled and said, "I don’t like places that are too noisy. Everyone, go back, we’ll meet again some other time in the jianghu!"

"Look at that, the Master’s state of mind is truly different!" Li Huachao hurriedly expressed his reverence, "Then, Master, you must be busy. Using so much mana today must have been tiring, so we won’t disturb you any further. When you have time, please be sure to visit our company. I will be sure to welcome you with open arms!"

Well, let’s not bring this up between gentlemen; people might get the wrong idea...

"Alright, we’ll talk about it when there’s an opportunity in the future." Wang Hao waved his hand, bidding farewell to the group of company bosses.

"Master, what are we going to do next?" Liu Quanyou looked at Wang Hao; although he was a deputy general manager, now he had to listen to everything Wang Hao said! It couldn’t be helped, when facing someone who could call forth wind and rain, who would dare to be presumptuous in front of him?

"What else but to eat," Wang Hao snapped his fingers, "Let’s go. We’ll have fried noodles!"

Liu Quanyou: "..."

A divine being is indeed a divine being, forgoing a feast to eat fried noodles...

In fact, Wang Hao’s pickiness was not without reason; he really didn’t want to socialize. Think about it, after such a grand affair today, if he were to go to a big restaurant with those bosses, wouldn’t he drink himself to death? Ice Princess would be returning to the country in a couple of days, and he couldn’t afford to waste his days away in a drunken stupor.

So he hurried to send everyone away and then grab a simple meal. Now that everything was done, it was all about preparing for Ice Princess’s return.

The two of them went to the small restaurant they had visited the day before. As soon as the owner saw them, he hurried out to greet them: "You two are here again, haha, welcome, welcome, please come inside."

After finding a spot and sitting down in the restaurant, Wang Hao looked at the owner and smiled, "You seem to be in a good mood today, boss?"

"Good! Of course, I am!" The restaurant owner was beaming with excitement, "Today, the heavens have unleashed some retribution on my behalf! It was exhilarating! What would you like to eat, it’s on the house!"

Wang Hao and Liu Quanyou exchanged glances, and Wang Hao seriously ordered, "Two bowls of fried noodles, a side dish, and two bottles of beer!"

"Right away!" The owner responded and went to prepare the food.

"Master," Liu Quanyou raised his eyebrows and then gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!"

Wang Hao: "Haha, it’s alright!"

Indeed, communication is ever so advanced these days. While Wang Hao and his companion were waiting for their fried noodles, they overheard customers at the next table whispering—

"Hey, have you heard? There was a tornado at the factory today! The roof of the workshop was blown away!"

"Heard about it, it’s all over the social circle now. They say the owner was rich but unkind, owing money everywhere. Now, even the heavens couldn’t stand it: a tornado and thunderstorms hit them hard, impressive!"

"Indeed, when it comes to the way one conducts themselves, one must do it with conscience!"

Wang Hao leaned over with a smile and asked, "Really? Is that true? Something like that happened?"

The two men, seeing Wang Hao’s interest, became even more animated: "Absolutely, I’m telling you, this incident has spread all over the city by now. The scene was—hey, right, right, take a look, my social feed is full of it!"

As they spoke, they took out their phones to show Wang Hao the video. Wang Hao was shocked when he saw it!

At the heart of the tornado, he hadn’t paid much attention, but seeing it now...

It was not easy to have survived! The tornado was like a destructive storm straight out of a movie, just flattening everything in its path!

"Incredible!" Wang Hao nodded vigorously: "This is a divine retribution!"

The two men nodded in agreement: "Exactly, it’s said that man-induced disasters can be forgiven, but self-inflicted ones cannot be survived!"

...

After having a hearty meal with Liu Quanyou in the restaurant, the two returned to the small hotel where they were staying.

Lying in bed, Wang Hao had nothing else to do, so he took out his phone to check if there were any new updates online.

After a while, Bai Yaning had spoken—

Bai Yaning: "What are you doing? Is the matter there settled?"

Wang Hao: "Yes, it’s settled. I chased away that cheater! How are things on your end?"

Bai Yaning: "I’m coming back to the country the day after tomorrow. Is there anything you’d like me to bring back for you?"

Hey? Is my little darling throwing hints for a gift? Oh, how could I possibly accept...

Wang Hao: "Is there anything good?"

Bai Yaning: "I don’t know, I just bought four boxes of clothes and six pairs of shoes. It all seems pretty ordinary, nothing particularly great. But I couldn’t just not buy anything for you, right? How about I get you some ties? Leather shoes? Clothing and trousers? Or maybe a handbag? Belt?"

Wang Hao: "..."

Four boxes of clothes! Six pairs of shoes! My dear sister, how much did you buy...

And buying ties, leather shoes, clothing and trousers, are all these calculated by point? How much is one point?

Wang Hao: "No need, no need, I usually wear casual clothes, and I’m not comfortable in anything too formal. Just come back, that’s all. What time is your flight the day after tomorrow? Should I pick you up?"

Bai Yaning: "Okay then, I have a flight at ten in the morning to Zhonghai, will you really come pick me up?"

Wang Hao: "Of course! By the way, Uncle...um...he won’t beat me up, will he?"

Bai Yaning: "My dad knows about your situation, I’ve told him some things, and he said he won’t care. Even if he did, it wouldn’t make a difference; he has no say over my love life."

My Ice Princess darling, you’re always such a powerhouse!

Wang Hao: "Oh, what a lovely uncle! Okay, I’ll be there on time. We’ll keep in touch by phone."

Bai Yaning: "Yes, that’s fine. Oh, and there’s something I need to tell you in advance."

Wang Hao: "Ah? What is it?"

Bai Yaning: "A guy has been pestering me here in France, and I really dislike him. However, his family is involved in business dealings with my family, so I can’t just brush him off. He said he’s also coming to China this time, which is really annoying."

Oh boy, that’s a romantic rival!

Wait a minute, let me think...

My Ice Princess darling has been discussing business in France for so long; it’s said to be a deal worth hundreds of billions, could it be with that family?

Wow, speaking of that, the guy has quite the background!

An international high-class, rich, handsome man!
