Chapter 335 The Xu Family's Solicitation (Chapter 2)
Zhou Ran took back the Jade Blood Sword and the eight spirit swords that had been tempered by Gengmu Qi, and heard a noise coming from outside the house.
"Zhijun, what's going on?" He asked with a frown.
Bai Zhijun walked to the door and replied respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, it's Xu An, the housekeeper of the Xu family, and Ms. Xu Silei from the Xu family who came to pay a visit."
"Let them in." Zhou Ran replied calmly.
With a creak, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in with a girl in a dark blue skirt.
"Xu An from the Xu family in Lingbei pays homage to Mr. Zhou." After Xu An came in, he immediately bowed politely to Zhou Ran, and the young girl standing beside him also hurriedly bowed down to salute.
She carefully looked at Zhou Ran, and when she saw Zhou Ran's face, the sadness on her face faded a little.
The Xu family in Lingbei, like the Shen family in Lingnan, is a top local family. In comparison, the Xu family in Lingbei is weaker than the Shen family in Lingnan, otherwise the Hujimen would not appear in Lingbei.
An overlord like the Lingnan Shen family would absolutely not allow any forces that could threaten their own status to appear in the area of Lingnan!
The martial artist exchange meeting in the Jiangdong area is generally held by the Shen family in Lingnan, the Xu family in Lingbei, and the Bailongmen in Jiangdong. , Most of these casual warriors are stunted, but some of them are talented. If they can take advantage of this opportunity to recruit them into their own family, it will be a good way to improve the overall strength of their own forces.
In addition to these three forces, Hujimen has risen rapidly in the past few years. In order to show the strength of the Lingbei boss, the Xu family spent a lot of money to snatch the right to hold the exchange meeting this year.
As for Danxin Palace, they don't even bother to hold such an exchange meeting. There is no need to prove the transcendent status of Danxin Palace in the Jiangdong area, and they don't need to take the initiative to promote it. Those talented warriors in the Jiangdong area will run to the Danxin Palace and kneel in front of the mountain gate Ask Danxin Palace to take him in.
"I wonder if Mr. Zhou is still used to living here?" At this moment, Xu An looked at Zhou Ran and asked with a smile.
"There are two of us, but the Xu family allocated us such a large yard, which is a bit of a waste." Zhou Ran replied calmly.
Generally, the Xu family doesn't care about food and lodging for the warriors who come to the exchange meeting. After all, there are too many warriors in the exchange meeting. On the one hand, the Xu family can't manage it.
Those who can be specially arranged by the Xu family must be well-known figures in the Jiangdong area.
"If you ask me, such a courtyard is not worthy of a character like Mr. Zhou." Xu An complimented.
"Butler Xu, just tell me if you have anything to say." Zhou Ran said with a smile.
After the three of Danxingong left Zhou Ran's booth, people from Lingbei Xu's family found Zhou Ran and assigned him to this yard.
Xu An nodded: "Since Mr. Zhou is so forthright, then I'll just say it straight."
"Our Xu family would like to invite Mr. Zhou to be the guest of the Xu family. If Mr. Zhou agrees, the Xu family is willing to provide Mr. Zhou with two spiritual crystals and various spiritual herbs every year, plus a 5% dividend from the Xu family's property." Paused , Xu An looked at Zhou Ran and continued.
Hearing this, Xu Silei on the side couldn't help looking at Zhou Ran in shock.
She is in the Xu family, so she naturally knows what a spirit crystal is. A spirit crystal is a treasure worth hundreds of millions, and it is still priceless!
If the two spirit crystals are amazing enough, then the annual 5% dividend of the Xu family's property is even more terrifying. This ratio does not sound high, but as the overlord of Lingbei, the Xu family's annual industrial income is even hundreds of billions of dollars. About five percent, or five billion a year!
Is the family crazy to use such an exaggerated profit to buy a young man?
As a child of the Xu family, her annual expenditure is only over one million yuan.
What is his identity?
Thinking of this, Xu Silei couldn't help but look at Zhou Ran curiously.
Hearing what Xu An said, Zhou Ran smiled and nodded slightly. When Xu An came in, he guessed the other party's purpose.
What the Xu family took a fancy to was undoubtedly the Rejuvenation Pill and Tempering Body Pill that they took out.
"Aren't you worried about Danxin Palace's revenge?" Zhou Ran looked at Xu An with a smile and asked.
Before, he had offended the three of Danxin Palace to death. If it was the other people in Danxin Palace, it would be better to say that Yu Wenlin, as the Young Palace Master of Danxin Palace, offended him, which would be tantamount to completely becoming hostile to Danxin Palace.
"The Xu family has their own way of thinking about this, Mr. Zhou doesn't have to worry about it." Xu An replied calmly.
Zhou Ran glanced at Xu An in surprise. The Xu family in Lingbei actually had the confidence to offend Danxin Gong for him?
After recovering, Zhou Ran looked at Xu An with a smile and said, "I'm used to being lazy, so I can only disappoint the Xu family's good intentions."
Hearing this, Xu An seemed to have anticipated Zhou Ran's remarks, and said calmly: "If Mr. Zhou changes his mind, he can ask Si Lei to tell me at any time."
"In that case, I won't disturb Mr. Zhou's rest." After a pause, he continued.
"Si Lei, stay and take care of Mr. Zhou!" Xu An's tone was filled with irresistible will, and he got up and left the room.
His status as the head housekeeper of the Xu family is indeed much higher than that of Xu Silei.
After Xu An left, seeing Zhou Ran looking at her with a funny face, Xu Silei's face was full of haste and anxiety.
As a collateral child of the Xu family in Lingbei, although she can enjoy a better material life than others, she has lost some aspects of freedom because of this.
Xu An asked her to stay, apparently to please Mr. Zhou.
In other words, as long as he wants, he can do anything to himself.
Xu Silei bit her lips lightly. She was only twenty-two years old and hadn't had a serious relationship yet.
But this Mr. Zhou is really good-looking, at least much better than what she thought before she came here. She thought that she was going to take care of those old men in their fifties and sixties.
After all, few big shots in the Jiangdong area are young people.
At this moment, seeing Zhou Ran looking at her, Xu Silei hurriedly lowered her head in fear.
"Your name is Xu Silei?" Zhou Ran asked softly.
"Yeah." Xu Silei nodded slightly, she was handsome and had a nice voice, Xu Silei thought to herself.
"Who is Xu Siyao to you?" Zhou Ran continued to ask.
Xu Silei looked up and looked at Zhou Ran in shock: "You know my sister?"
...
The eastern block of Sanfeng Town is full of quaint houses, one of which occupies a very large area, and the decoration is far better than the others. It stands out from the crowd among the many houses.
This is where the Lingbei Xu family stayed.
In a room on the right side of the house, Xu An, the housekeeper of the Xu family, was bending over and lowering his head, not daring to look at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Don't accept it?" Xu Jingyi muttered to himself.
"Patriarch, do we want to raise the stakes?" Xu An asked respectfully.
A sneer appeared on Xu Jingyi's face, "No need, if he agrees to join my Xu family now, I can still consider sharing a cup of soup with him. It's just two prescriptions. When the time comes, I'll ask him to kneel down and beg me to accept it." His recipe!"
In a few days, he will let all practitioners in the entire Jiangdong region know what happened to Xu Jingyi who refused him!
