Chapter 564 Silent Scream
Everything went like Qin Dongchao and Han Donglou had expected.
The number of people who came to visit Li Tianlan suddenly increased when it became afternoon. Every patriarch of a giant family who held power in every field was like that they made a deal. They came one by one. Li Tianlan was busy treating his guests for most of the afternoon.
For those who came to send money and power, Li Tianlan would never neglect them no matter how proud he was. After all, they were VIPs. So he always wore a warm and kind smile with a gentle attitude.
The people who came to visit this time all knew the rules. Although they wanted to talk more with Li Tianlan, they knew that if they didn’t leave, then they would not only be offending those who wished to meet Li Tianlan, but also Li Tianlan himself. So every patriarch had a decisive attitude. They just spat out what they wanted after putting their letter of intent in front of Li Tianlan.
To both Li Tianlan and the patriarchs from every giant family, cooperation was essential and irresistible. With this premise, it was easy and pleasant to talk business. Although this kind of cooperation could not be settled in just a few words, the one who sat for the longest time in front of Li Tianlan took up less than 30 minutes.
What shocked them most was Li Tianlan’s generosity.
All of them had brought their core business this time. The number of shares that they intended to sell to Li Tianlan was their sincerity. Sincerity like this would not be given willingly, but no one dared to give fewer shares than they could. Before they came, they even made preparations that Li Tianlan would lower the price. This was a normal thing, but the most unusual thing was that no matter how much they quoted, Li Tianlan would agree without hesitation and state that the funds would be in place in the near future.
No matter what level the business field had reached, such a generous man was rare. When these patriarchs left, they were satisfied and had great expectations for future cooperation.
The ceaseless reception was over until 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
It was still raining in Recchi City. The light faded from the sky.
The light was on in the study. Li Tianlan was looking over a letter of intent.
In front of him lay a pile of letters of intent.
Li Tianlan looked at these with satisfaction.
He didn’t care about the pricing matters at all. He had no money anyway, so he couldn’t afford any of them no matter how much they quoted. But with this letter, plenty of people were willing to pay for him. In that case, it was meaningless to lower the price. What he needed to do was very simple. He signed, got money, paid, and waited for his harvest.
He was happy to cooperate.
“It seems that people are adjusting from Zhongzhou State to deal with this thing.”
Li Tianlan put aside the letter of intent in his hand and sighed with some emotion.
He didn’t need to worry about the Snowdance Corps because there was Tribulation. But the current cooperation couldn’t count on these dauntless soldiers. The cooperation was related to dozens of giant families and so many core businesses. The relative funds were unimaginable. In this kind of cooperation, whether it was the investments or the profits, it was enough to drive people crazy. Li Tianlan knew that himself. He couldn’t deal with all these things with high proficiency.
Besides, among the people he knew, there was no talent in this sector, except for Qin Weibai.
Li Tianlan went quiet for a while.
“I’ll make a call home to ask them to send some men over here,” Dongcheng Rushi, who accompanied Li Tianlan, said.
Li Tianlan was stunned. Dongcheng Rushi misunderstood his attitude and said, “Don’t you trust us?”
“It’s not that. I just didn’t know that the Dongcheng Clan has talents like this. But if you have any, would it be difficult to send them over?” Li Tianlan laughed.
“I’ll find a way,” Dongcheng Rushi said confidently.
She paused and continued, “Han Xinyan could help too. If you talk to Han Donglou, he will agree.”
Li Tianlan nodded. With such a scale in cooperation, Han Donglou wouldn’t just pose it, no matter how confident he was. So if Han Xinyan stayed, she could not only help him, but also reassure the Flourishing Age Fund.
Li Tianlan pinched Dongcheng Rushi’s nose. Just as he was about to say something, the phone rang suddenly. It was Qin Weibai.
Li Tianlan picked the phone up and said with a light laugh, “You are awake?”
Qin Weibai paused on the other end of the phone. Then she hummed with discontent and said, dissatisfied, “Are you not satisfied to know that I am still alive?”
Li Tianlan laughed. His eyes connected with Dongcheng Rushi’s. Her eyes were so clear and innocent. He subconsciously restrained his laughter and gave a dry cough.
“Where are you?” Qin Weibai asked gently.
“Still in the hotel.” Li Tianlan patted the letters and said, “I’ve been dealing with some business.”
Qin Weibai was silent for a few seconds and said with a light voice, “I am leaving.”
Li Tianlan paused his action, looked up at the clock, and asked, “To Mormans?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll see you off.”
Li Tianlan stood up without hesitation and said, “Wait for me.” Then he hung up the phone.
Dongcheng Rushi stood up and brought him a coat.
Li Tianlan hesitated. He held her hands and said, “Little Bai is here, but she’s leaving soon. Come with me and see her off.”
“Huh? Sister?” Dongcheng Rushi looked at Li Tianlan and said, “You were with Sister last night?”
Her words contained no jealousy. But Li Tianlan felt guilty for no reason. He found a coat, put it on Dongcheng Rushi, and vaguely said, “Let’s go. I’ll get someone to prepare the car.”
Because the distance between the two hotels was not far, Li Tianlan only needed about 10 minutes to get to the hotel where Qin Weibai was. Inside the room, Master of Samsara Palace still sat before the windowsill, watching the storm outside.
Flaming Fire was drinking tea in the living room.
In the bathroom, the sound of a hair drier could be heard.
Qin Weibai, dressed in a white bathrobe, had just had a bath. Her hair was wet and she was standing in front of the mirror blow-drying her hair.
Noticing him coming in, Master of Samsara Palace turned around and nodded as a greeting. Flaming Fire did not even raise her head. Li Tianlan gave her a glance and ignored her. He looked at Qin Weibai, who was standing in front of the mirror, and said, “Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Something went wrong and I need to deal with it.”
Qin Weibai sighed softly. She had promised Li Tianlan that she would attend the dinner party tonight. She put down her hairdryer and walked out with some regret.
“Sister.” Dongcheng Rushi called her, standing beside Li Tianlan.
Qin Weibai was stunned for a moment, then she touched Rushi’s hair with a smile and said softly, “Come in and sit down.”
“Let me introduce you.” Qin Weibai led Dongcheng Rushi into the living room and said, “This is...”
“Dongcheng Rushi.” Master of Samsara Palace interrupted Qin Weibai. She looked at her with a calm eye as she said, “I know her.”
Qin Weibai fell into a patch of silence. She nodded and said to Dongcheng Rushi, “This is my sister. The Master of Samsara Palace.”
Dongcheng Rushi didn’t ask about Master of Samsara Palace’s name but bowed to her very seriously and said, “I give my greetings to Your Highness.”
Master of Samsara Palace looked at her, intimacy visible in her eyes.
Not knowing if it was an illusion or not, he noticed some guilt in this intimacy. That emotion flashed so quickly, and Master of Samsara Palace then returned back to looking indifferent.
She looked at Li Tianlan and asked, “Is it quite active in Eastern Europe today?”
Li Tianlan answered, “Yes. Mainly my part.”
“I heard about it.” Master of Samsara Palace said slowly, “If everyone wants to have a connection with you, it is a good opportunity. What’s your plan?”
“It’s hard to say now.” Li Tianlan shook his head and said, “It is a good chance but the deal is so big. There are many things that are hard to handle. So I will arrange some men for this after returning home, doing business, a grand business. It is so big that it could be relevant to the country’s fate. So I cannot handle it by myself for now. But if there are talents in this sector in the Dongcheng Clan, I’d like to borrow some.”
“I’ll recommend two to you,” she said.
Li Tianlan gave her a deep look and asked, “People from the Samsara Palace?”
“No.” She shook her head and said, “When you were in the coma, there was a rumor in Recchi City that was quite popular.”
Li Tianlan was a little confused.
“The rumor said that the Qin Clan intended to unite with you by marriage. They intended to marry their lady Qin Qingyao to you,” she said.
Li Tianlan touched his nose, shook his head, and said, “Absurd.”
He heard of this rumor of course but he didn’t pay it any mind.
“It’s true.”
She said, “Qin Dongchao had this in mind once. He even sent Qin Weiyun to fly your kite. Yet Qin Xilai stopped him. But in the current situation, it is temporary. With the development of your career, this thought will come again.”
“In that case, I suggest you find them and ask them for Qin Qingyao.”
“Um... ask for her?” Li Tianlan frowned.
“To work with you or to be your woman, either will do.”
Master of Samsara Palace said casually, “Relax. They have no reason to refuse, and Qin Qingyao won’t refuse. You don’t even have to promise anything. If you just ask, Qin Qingyao will appear in front of you immediately.”
Li Tianlan looked at Qin Weibai subconsciously. Qin Weibai narrowed her eyes, looking like a sulky cat. She said nothing, neither did Dongcheng Rushi.
“If you don’t want to say it, I can help you. In business, Qin Qingyao is useful, very useful. As for the other one, Han Xinyan. To have Han Xinyan, you have to find Han Donglou yourself, but Han Donglou would not refuse.”
She suddenly smiled. “If you are willing, putting Rushi in Eastern Europe would be the best option. This girl looks dim-witted, but she is not inferior to anyone else in dealing with things. The Qin Clan and Flourishing Age Fund are the two pillars that support your foundation. If you ask for their ladies to come here, Rushi will be able to balance their relationship well.”
Li Tianlan frowned. Before he could say anything, Master of Samsara Palace waved her hand to call Dongcheng Rushi and said, “Come here.” Dongcheng Rushi hesitated, but she still walked over to her.
She stood up and touched Dongcheng Rushi’s head.
Dongcheng Rushi looked at her with her eyes opened wide. She was confused.
“Since you have come today, then I will help you once.”
Master of Samsara Palace looked into Dongcheng Rushi’s eyes.
At that moment, the whole world became twisted.
The messy wind and rain gathered to the front, roaring. The raindrops were disordered and cold. The sky and the earth were changing color. The pale, vast snow covered the city without any sign.
Skyscrapers became mountains, soaring into the sky in the wild world.
Dongcheng Rushi’s eyesight was dull and dreamy.
Li Tianlan clearly saw that one of her feet had taken a step back, but the other one was moving forward.
The hand that Master of Samsara Palace put on her head began to glow, so colorful and full of sword intent.
Dongcheng Rushi gazing at that sword light blankly. The foot that had stepped back went back to where it was before.
Master of Samsara Palace put her hand down when Dongcheng Rushi opened her mouth suddenly. She made no sound, but everyone heard a silent screaming cry.
“Poof!” A mouthful of blood was spat out directly from her mouth.
Li Tianlan’s complexion changed dramatically. He walked over and held her in his arms.
He turned his head and looked at Master of Samsara Palace. His eyes suddenly became deep and calm.
“It’s for her own good.”
Master of Samsara Palace took a step back. She sounded a bit tired.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and looked at Dongcheng Rushi. He asked her in a low voice, “How do you feel?”
Dongcheng Rushi blinked her blank eyes, which became moist again. At this moment, her spirit seemed to come alive completely and became extremely vivid.
Her voice sounded joyful.
“I’m fine.” Like breaking some invisible shackles, her voice was clear and cheerful, sounding quite delicate.
