Chapter 542 Discordant Voices
Although he knew some people supported him because of the recent events,
there was no denying that once they went back and tried the Osmanthus Wine, they would definitely come back to purchase more.
This was an unquestionable outcome.
Xia Liu had confidence in the ability of Osmanthus Wine!
The incident that occurred on the commercial street today spread throughout the entire county at the fastest speed.
Even the nearby towns knew about it; the people who had come to the market area spread the word as if they were loudspeakers.
Suddenly, everyone in Hejing knew about Xia Liu's sense of responsibility.
As long as someone caused trouble in Hejing, Xia Liu wouldn't stand by idly.
This was a promise to all the county's residents from a powerful martial arts master!
In the afternoon, when all the departments of Osmanthus Group were preparing to leave work, many people suddenly emerged at the company's entrance.
They were holding red banners and shouting slogans: "President Xia is mighty!"
"President Xia is mighty!"
...
Because there were many people gathering, even Chen Jin came with some men to maintain order.
He was already aware of today's events, and when it came to Xia Liu, all he could do was look up in admiration.
The deeds and words of Xia Liu were worth learning from for him.
Now, Xia Liu had become a star of the whole county.
If it hadn't been getting late, those with shops and lands in the county would probably have come directly to sign agreements with Osmanthus Group.
What is there to worry about in the future with such a responsible leader at the helm of Osmanthus Group?
"Look! Xia Liu and his wife are coming out!" When Xia Liu and Rose walked out of the main door, the scene immediately erupted into enthusiastic cheers.
"Woah! President Xia's wife is so beautiful!"
"Hey, hey! What a pity, my daughter is really disappointing, not at all pretty; otherwise, she could have had a chance with President Xia."
"Haha, what you're saying is not right, the genes of children come from their parents. Saying that your daughter isn't good-looking is essentially saying your own genes are poor."
...
"Uncle, it's okay, I don't have a girlfriend yet. You see..."
...
Upon seeing Xia Liu, people started shouting frantically, as if it were the New Year festive and spectacular.
"Please don't do this, I'm just an ordinary person, and as a resident of Hejing, it's my duty to defend the rules of Hejing!" Knowing the significance of why everyone was there, Xia Liu immediately broadcasted his voice using Spirit Sound, so that everyone on the scene could hear him.
"But President Xia, you are different; you are a master! If it weren't for you today, the commercial street would have been destroyed, the Osmanthus Group would have been, well, you know, and Hejing's future would have fallen into darkness."
"That's right! Little Kong is not wrong. President Xia has immense strength; by subduing the criminals behind several tragedies today, you really are a blessing for all citizens!"
"Yes! President Xia is truly amazing!"
"We made a banner on our own initiative, hoping President Xia can accept it."
As they spoke, the crowd raised the banner high.
"There's no need for this; the future of Hejing requires everyone's collective efforts. This banner should be presented to Director Chen, who, along with his colleagues from the police station, has served us for many years, and deserves such honor!"
As he spoke, Xia Liu redirected everyone's attention toward Chen Jin.
"Ah, President Xia is right!"
"Indeed, Director Chen and County Magistrate Li have held their positions the longest, they are models of fairness, integrity, and an example for us all!"
"That's right! We should hang this banner of serving the country and the people inside the county station!"
"Support!"
"Support!"
After shifting people's focus, Xia Liu quietly left with Rose.
"Phew... Finally out, the big shot has become a star, huh." On her way to Longyun, Rose chuckled teasingly.
"Ugh, I'm so drained." Xia Liu said somewhat helplessly; he really didn't want to become a star.
But showing off a bit in the county city did have its benefits.
At the very least, it showed his sincerity to them.
It also helped reduce the crime rate in the county city.
"I'm the one who's tired. I've been looking at documents all day, my eyes are about to hurt to death."
"Ah, you've really worked hard, Little Wei." Xia Liu said bitterly, and then he remembered something.
That's not right, how could Rose, who possesses the first level of Qi Cultivation, be tired after just one day of work?
Watching the beautiful woman walking beside him, Xia Liu chose not to expose her.
Even with her cultivation, Rose was working for the group, helping him review documents.
That alone was reason enough to thank her, to console her.
"By the way, big shot, when are those girls coming back?" Suddenly, as they were walking, Rose stopped and asked.
"Why are you asking that?"
"Well, I need to prepare in advance. I want to move out of your house before they return; otherwise, they might misunderstand," Rose said softly, with a laugh.
"That won't happen. There are plenty of rooms in my house; you can stay as long as you like. Plus, I might have to take a trip in a few days, so you don't have to worry about hearing any discordant sounds."
"Discordant sounds?" Rose asked, blinking her bright eyes.
"Haha..." Xia Liu laughed merrily for a while but did not answer, as he had already figured out Rose's tricks.
Now, he wouldn't fall for them again.
"Fine, I think I understand. But there's one more question, where are you going out to?"
Rose straightened her rosy cheeks and asked.
"Binlai City, maybe even farther abroad," Xia Liu fell silent for a while before deciding to tell the truth.
"Abroad? Take me with you, big shot. After all, I've also mixed it up abroad," Rose's interest was piqued.
She hadn't visited that endearing place to see the children in so long, and now that she had such a good opportunity, she didn't want to let it go.
"I'm going there to work, not to have fun."
"I'm going to work too, just think of it as joining you on the way."
"Is that so? Well, we'll talk about it later, I'm not even sure if I'll go yet," Xia Liu was unsure about the plan.
After all, he had to understand the situation before confirming the itinerary.
"Thanks, big shot!" Hearing Xia Liu say that, Rose was certain that she would follow him on this trip!
She wasn't just planning to see the children; she had an even bigger scheme in mind!
Just like usual, after dinner, they both returned to the village.
Passing by the beach, Xia Liu saw the village brothers toiling away, sweating profusely as they practised.
After returning home, Rose didn't do anything else.
She plunged into her room, sat cross-legged, ran the Immeasurable Sword Art, absorbed nature's spiritual energy to nourish her meridians, hone her bones, and refine her Alchemy Field, striving to advance to the second level of Qi Cultivation as soon as possible.
She didn't know how many days this routine lasted.
That evening, like usual, Rose was cultivating in her room.
Then, she heard a lot of laughter and teasing coming from the living room.
"The girls are back!" Carefully discerning the voices in the living room, Rose's face flushed with embarrassment.
Yes, it was very awkward, considering she had moved into this place without the girls' consent.
I suppose I'm an interloper... If they find out, who knows what the consequences will be.
But it didn't matter anymore because their return meant Xia Liu was about to take her out...
