Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Sister Xia is Truly a Divine Being!

Hearing what Fang Bai said, Fang Ying was quite intrigued and cautiously asked, "Nephew, can this really be done? Your aunt’s husband and I can handle some manual labor, but we’re no good at anything else!"

Fang Ying had her doubts about Fang Bai arranging for her son to work at a big company in the city, but after Fang Bai suddenly produced over a million in cash, those doubts vanished without a trace.

To Fang Ying, having her son work at a big company in the city with a monthly salary of several thousand was already more than enough for her. If she and her husband could also get jobs and be by their son’s side every day, it would be like a pie falling from the sky.

"How about this, I’ll give my friend a call first to see how she can arrange it."

Fang Bai thought about it and decided to give Xia Chenyu a heads-up.

While it was true that Xia Chenyu wouldn’t have any objections to him arranging for a few people to work at Beauty Company, Xia Chenyu was the owner of Beauty Company after all. Giving her a heads-up was also a form of respect.

Fang Bai, keeping some distance from his aunt and the others, took out his cell phone and dialed Xia Chenyu.

Fang Xiaojuan, standing to the side, noticed Fang Bai using the latest model of the Fruit phone, and her eyes lit up again, thinking that this cousin she always looked down upon had truly made something of himself.

"Hey, my Boss Fang, you still remember to call your sister, huh? I thought you had completely forgotten about me!"

Xia Chenyu quickly picked up the phone, her soft and bone-melting voice coming through the receiver, making one unconsciously feel a bit warm all over.

If there was nobody around, Fang Bai would definitely have joked around with Xia Chenyu for a bit, but with his sister and aunt’s family staring right at him, Fang Bai naturally wouldn’t speak carelessly.

After a light cough, Fang Bai spoke earnestly, "Sister Xia, I heard that the new products your company launched have been selling really well. Congratulations!"

"It’s all thanks to your secret formula!"

Xia Chenyu was clearly in a good mood when Fang Bai brought up the new products of her company, saying, "The sales of the three new products since their launch can be described as explosive. In just the first month, the sales reached ten billion, and that’s without us doing any major advertising..."

The president of the company, at the other end of the phone, sounded like a quick-witted little girl, chattering non-stop. As Fang Bai imagined Xia Chenyu’s expression at that moment, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his lips.

"Hello, why aren’t you saying anything?"

Xia Chenyu had been talking for a while but hadn’t heard Fang Bai speak, so she couldn’t help but ask.

"You’re talking like a Gatling gun; I didn’t have a chance to get a word in!"

Xia Chenyu giggled, her voice playful as she chastised, "Are you saying I ramble on too much? I don’t like you anymore!"

After a pause, she continued, "You, the hands-off shopkeeper, are really at ease, not caring about anything and just waiting to collect money, but it’s tough on me! Sigh, I’ve been running all over the place for the launch of the new products these past few months, almost to the point of death from exhaustion!"

Fang Bai responded with a laugh, "Sister Xia, you’ve worked hard!"

Xia Chenyu gave a ’hmpf’, then said, "Just saying ’you’ve worked hard’ will do? No way! Boss Fang, when are you coming back to Zhongzhou? Remember to take me out for a meal when you’re back, as a treat for all my hard work!"

Fang Bai replied, "Sister Xia, I’m already in Zhongzhou!"

"Really?"

Xia Chenyu’s tone immediately filled with delight as she asked, "When did you come back? Are you at home right now?"

"My cousin is getting married tomorrow, and my family and I have already made it back to our hometown here."

"Oh. Your hometown is in Fang Temple Town, Taihe County, under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou City, right?"

Xia Chenyu asked.

"Yes."

Fang Bai remembered that he had mentioned to Xia Chenyu once where his hometown was, and was surprised that she still remembered it so clearly.

"I guess you’re calling me now because there’s something you need. Am I right?"

Xia Chenyu asked.

"Sister Xia is truly a divine figure!"

Fang Bai said with a smile, "I indeed need to ask for Sister Xia’s help."

"Ah, I knew it, you wouldn’t call your sister here for no reason, it’s so heartbreaking... Come on, what is it?"

Xia Chenyu’s tone was full of a playful grievance, like a deeply aggrieved wife abandoned at home by her husband.

Even though he knew Xia Chenyu was joking with him, Fang Bai still felt a bit embarrassed.

Xia Chenyu was not wrong; after parting in Yanjing last time, Fang Bai had indeed rarely initiated contact with Xia Chenyu, preoccupied with his own cultivation and various matters. On the other hand, it was Xia Chenyu who frequently called him, asking about issues related to cultivation and chatting about everyday life.

"This time I return to Zhongzhou, I might stay a few extra days. I’ll definitely visit Sister Xia’s company to see it and have a chat with Sister Xia."

Fang Bai quickly said something pleasing, to comfort President Xia at the other end of the phone brimming with playful grievances.

"Let’s agree on that then!"

Xia Chenyu’s voice became cheerful, clearly very happy.

"It’s like this, I have a few relatives who’d like to find something to do at your place..."

Fang Bai briefly explained the situation of his aunt’s family of three to Xia Chenyu, and then said, "I remember your company has a dedicated security department, right? My cousin is in his early twenties, over one meter eighty tall, and as strong as an ox, he’d definitely be up to the job of a deputy security chief! Sister Xia, what do you think..."

"Boss Fang, you are my great benefactor, let alone just placing a few relatives, even if you came to be the president, I would gladly give up my seat to you, then be your personal secretary... if there’s work, the secretary does it, if there’s no work, do the secretary... how about that, Boss Fang, are you tempted? Giggle..."

Xia Chenyu emphasized the words "do the secretary" specially, and after saying it, she giggled flirtatiously.

This woman is teasing me again!

Fang Bai felt his body heat up, his blood boiling, wishing he could crawl through the phone right then and there and punish this temptress on the spot.

After the last trip to Yanjing, the relationship between Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu had taken a great leap forward, as if breaking through some taboo, their friendship no longer pure.

During their calls, Fang Bai would occasionally tease Xia Chenyu, and Xia Chenyu would flirt with Fang Bai. If it weren’t for the consideration that prematurely breaking Xia Chenyu’s Primordial Yin Body would affect her future Martial Dao path, Fang Bai would have taken matters into his own hands long ago.

Fang Bai was now eagerly looking forward to the day when he and Xia Chenyu could both reach the Innate Realm. At that time, dual cultivation would not only be worry-free but would actually benefit them both.

"Ahem... Sister Xia, let’s talk business!"

Fang Bai looked somewhat sheepishly at his aunt and the others, then said in a serious tone, "The job for my aunt and uncle is in your hands, see how you can arrange it properly..."
