Chapter 153 What Are You Looking At? [4th Update]

"Cough, cough!" Ge Dongxu was suddenly choked by his tea at Yuan Li's remark.

"What's the matter? When I was young, I was also the school beauty of Changxi No. 1 High," Yuan Li saw Ge Dongxu choking from her words and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him in irritation.

"Of course, of course! In fact, you're still very charming now, really!" Ge Dongxu quickly said.

"You and your sweet talk! Never mind, let's not talk about this. Let's get on with the loan processing," Yuan Li rolled her eyes at Ge Dongxu again and then got up to take care of his loan.

After sorting out the loan, Yuan Li gave Ge Dongxu her home address and reminded him to come over that evening before him leaving.

After leaving the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Ge Dongxu remembered that the official plan for the XC district had been released, and because he'd been at his hometown, he still didn't know about it, so he decided to buy a mobile phone.

This way he could also stay updated with the news in time.

After all, mobile phones were getting cheaper and smaller. Tucking it into his backpack should be fine, and nobody would know.

Therefore, Ge Dongxu spent some money and bought a Motorola mobile phone. Although mobile phones had become a lot cheaper than the tens of thousands they used to cost, they still cost several thousand yuan, so they were still considered luxury items. Thus, when Ge Dongxu, a teenager, casually bought a mobile phone, it really surprised people.

After buying the phone, Ge Dongxu first called home and told his parents his mobile number. Since Ge Dongxu brought back money, Ge Shengming and his wife generously installed a landline phone at home.

Then Ge Dongxu called Liu Jiayao, Tang Yiyuan, Cheng Yazhou, Wu Qianjin, Zuo Le, Lin Jinnuo, and others to tell them his mobile number.

When Liu Jiayao received the call, she naturally asked when he would come to Linzhou. When Ge Dongxu told her he would go the next day, Liu Jiayao was very happy.

"Dongxu, this time Old Lin truly understands the saying 'the new waves push the old waves forward.' You're freaking awesome! I think by next year, your assets could even surpass mine," Lin Jinnuo picked up the phone, saw it was Ge Dongxu calling, and couldn't help but swear in admiration.

"How can that be? How much is Changxi Grand Hotel worth? There's no way I can compare with you!" Ge Dongxu hurriedly said modestly in response.

"Changxi Grand Hotel may look glamorous on the outside, but it doesn't make that much in a year. Your herbal tea, on the other hand, is different. Once the market opens up, it'll snowball. And about that piece of land you have, man, it's worth seven to eight million now," Lin Jinnuo said.

"Hehe, it's just good luck," Ge Dongxu said humbly once again.

"If you keep being so modest, I'm going to get angry with you!" Lin Jinnuo said half-jokingly, half-angrily.

"Alright, I won't be modest. This number is mine, remember it. Call this number if there's anything, but don't call if it's nothing important," Ge Dongxu said laughingly to Lin Jinnuo, as there was no need to be overly polite with him.

"Speaking of which, I actually have something to discuss with you. Are you really going to sell that piece of land? If you're going to sell, I'll offer you eight million for it. I'm planning to open another hotel in the XC area. Of course, if you're willing to be a part of it by investing the land's value, that would be even better," Lin Jinnuo said.

"I don't have the capital to develop that land at the moment, so I will definitely sell it, but I need to think it over more specifically," Ge Dongxu said, slightly taken aback in his reply.

"Sure, this is a big deal. Take your time thinking about it. When you've thought it through, let's set a time to talk," Lin Jinnuo said.

"Alright, I'll think it over and let you know," Ge Dongxu said. Experience more tales on empire

After hanging up, Ge Dongxu then called Yue Feng. Yue Feng was in manufacturing and hadn't thought about buying land for property development or opening a hotel. He just marveled at how Ge Dongxu was going to make a killing this time and reminded himself to include him in any future money-making schemes.

Naturally, Ge Dongxu couldn't avoid being modest.

Having made these calls, Ge Dongxu made a special trip to Wangzhou Township's beverage factory. Seeing the factory yard filled with tricycles and small trucks loading goods and Cheng Yazhou busier than a bee, his heart swelled with joy. He knew Lin Jinnuo was right; once the market opened up, it would snowball, and who knows, maybe one day, their sales would reach billions and match Liu Jiayao's company.

Regarding the beverage factory, Ge Dongxu hadn't mentioned it to Liu Jiayao and had also reminded Tang Yiyuan to keep it from her for the time being.

Sometimes, men's thoughts can be as complicated as women's.

After chatting with Cheng Yazhou at the factory for a while and getting an update on production and sales, Ge Dongxu had lunch at the factory before heading back to Cheng Yazhou's place.

Back at Cheng Yazhou's home and after shooting the breeze with Cheng Lehao, seeing how the kid was fixated on video games, Ge Dongxu left him to it, went upstairs alone, read for a while, and drew some talismans. As the sun began to set and remembering he was invited to dinner at Yuan Li's place, he pondered whether he should bring something along.

With no experience in giving gifts to women, after considering for a while and still unsure what to buy, he simply grabbed a jar of his homemade medicinal wine.

This medicinal wine was made according to an ancient recipe, with herbs gathered from Baiyun Mountain, and could nourish the vital energy, moisten the yin, and strengthen the kidneys. It was particularly effective for women's beauty and skincare. Ge Dongxu brought back several jars, planning to give one to Liu Jiayao and to share some with others as well.

Since Yuan Li invited him over and had joked about becoming an old woman earlier that day, he thought the wine would make the perfect gift.

Yuan Li's apartment, provided by her employer, was about eighty-five square meters and had two bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

Ge Dongxu carried the jar of wine up five flights of stairs and knocked on Yuan Li's door.

Then he heard footsteps inside, followed by the door opening.

As soon as the door opened, Ge Dongxu was taken aback. He saw Yuan Li still in her work uniform, only with an apron around her front. Due to the summer heat and cooking in the kitchen, her white blouse clung to her body, revealing her fair skin underneath.

That wasn't all; because Yuan Li was cooking alone at home without guests, she had unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, leaving her collar open and revealing most of her fair, soft peaks. When Ge Dongxu knocked, she got up in a hurry and didn't realize this detail. As she opened the door, her glowing white fullness was right before Ge Dongxu's eyes, mere inches away!

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a pretty cook before?" Yuan Li, not yet aware she forgot to button up, saw Ge Dongxu standing at her door, holding a jar of wine and staring blankly at her. She rolled her eyes at him with a smile, recalling what he said in her office earlier that day.

"Ahem, yes, I mean, no!" Ge Dongxu was at a loss for words, clearly flustered by Yuan Li's attire—at the peak of his adolescence, he found it quite provocative.

"Look at you, can't even talk straight. Come in, I'll get you some slippers," said Yuan Li, giving Ge Dongxu another playful roll of her eyes before she bent down to fetch slippers from the shoe cabinet by the door.

As she bent over, her blouse gaped open, and the two soft buns inside nearly tumbled out. Yuan Li finally realized what had gone wrong. Her face flushed red, and she cursed under her breath, 'Sly little rascal!'

Strangely enough, even though she cursed him secretly, the thought of Ge Dongxu's gaze and his flustered reaction didn't disgust her or make her unhappy. On the contrary, she felt a hint of delight.
