My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1131 Long flow

Once, Ling Xue was troubled by a difficult customer complaint, and Zhou Xing told her about a similar experience when he started his business in his early years and how he dealt with it. Ling Xue listened quietly, with a gleam of gratitude in her eyes.

"You are truly my benefactor," she said sincerely.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly: "We are each other's benefactors."

One evening, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing stood on the top floor of the hotel, looking at the city view under the sunset. Ling Xue turned to look at Zhou Xing beside her, with a determined light in her eyes: "Can we do something bigger together?"

Zhou Xing did not hesitate: "Of course, I have always had this idea."

Soon after, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing jointly opened a boutique hotel supplies company, specializing in providing customized services for high-end hotels. Their cooperation became closer and their business flourished.

On a winter night a few years later, when the first snowflakes fell, they held a celebration party on the top floor of the hotel and invited all those who had helped them. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing stood in the middle of the crowd, raised their glasses, their eyes full of expectations for the future.

"Thank you all for your support and trust. Let us face more challenges and opportunities together," said Ling Xue.

Zhou Xing added: "Our success is not only due to our hard work, but also everyone's contribution."

In the snowflakes all over the sky, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing smiled at each other, their hearts filled with warmth and gratitude.

"This place is so beautiful, why don't we take a rest here?" Zhou Xing suggested.

"Good idea." Ling Xue agreed with a smile. She sat on a smooth stone, her tail feathers spread out naturally, like a gorgeous fan. Zhou Xing sat down beside her, took out the bamboo flute he carried with him, and played it softly.

The flute sounded melodious, as if it could dispel all worries. Ling Xue closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare tranquility. Suddenly, a clear sound came from the sky, and a huge eagle shadow flew by, breaking the tranquility.

"Look, that's the Nine-Sky Eagle King!" Zhou Xing shouted in surprise.

Ling Xue opened her eyes and saw a golden-winged eagle swooping down from the clouds with extraordinary momentum. However, to their surprise, the eagle did not attack, but transformed into a handsome man and landed in front of them.

"Greetings, both of you. I am the Nine Heavens Eagle King. I heard that there is a Peacock Saint in Phoenix Valley, so I came to visit you." The Eagle King nodded slightly with a gentle look.

Ling Xue and Zhou Xing looked at each other and quickly stood up to return the greeting. Ling Xue said, "It is an honor for Lord Eagle to visit my humble home."

Zhou Xing secretly speculated on the Eagle King's intentions. He asked cautiously, "I wonder what the Eagle King is doing here?"

The Eagle King smiled calmly, "I have long heard of the beauty and wisdom of the Peacock Saint, and I wanted to meet her; similarly, I also want to meet the legendary descendants of the ancient Phoenix." His gaze turned to Zhou Xing.

Although they were facing the Nine Sky Eagle King, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing were not afraid. Ling Xue responded confidently and calmly: "Excuse me, Eagle King, we are resting at the moment. What can I do for you?"

The Eagle King put away his smile and said solemnly, "To be honest, I have another purpose for coming here. There is a Nirvana Pearl in Phoenix Valley, which is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If you can lend it to me for a look, I would like to thank you with a generous gift."

Hearing this, Zhou Xing became even more alert. He knew the importance of this Nirvana Pearl, which was related to their cultivation progress. So, he decisively refused: "Sorry, Master Eagle King, this Nirvana Pearl is very important to us and cannot be lent out."

The Eagle King's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you. I just hope that one day we'll have a chance and you two can discuss the way of cultivation with me."

After seeing off the Eagle King, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel suspicious. Zhou Xing said worriedly, "Sister Ling Xue, the Eagle King's sudden visit may not be just to see your beautiful face."

As night falls, the lights of the five-star hotel in the city center are bright. As a new manager, Ling Xue is busy with the upcoming VIP reception. She is a capable and intelligent woman who can always make sense of the complexity. Tonight, she wears a decent business suit and carefully checks every detail to ensure that everything is perfect.

"This batch of newly arrived bedding is of good quality." Zhou Xing's voice came from behind. He was the new supplier of this five-star hotel, a tall man with a calm temperament. His eyes revealed confidence and calmness, showing his mastery of business. Ling Xue turned around and saw for the first time the man who was about to become her business partner.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Xing. I've come here today to make sure all supplies meet your hotel's standards." Zhou Xing extended his hand to Ling Xue, friendly and firm.

"Hello, I'm Ling Xue. Thank you very much for coming in person. These beddings look great." Ling Xue smiled back, held his hand, and felt the strength and sincerity in the other's palm.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if a tacit understanding had quietly sprouted between them.

In the following weeks, the cooperation between Ling Xue and Zhou Xing gradually deepened. Every morning, they would meet in the hotel's conference room to discuss the details of the supply and possible improvement plans. Ling Xue found that Zhou Xing was not only proficient in his profession, but his patience and meticulousness also made the cooperation process smoother.

One day, a sudden storm affected the supply schedule, resulting in a batch of high-end mattresses failing to arrive on time. Ling Xue was extremely anxious about this because it was the busy tourist season for the hotel.

"When will this batch of mattresses arrive?" Ling Xue asked with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"I have contacted the freight company, and they will speed up the process." Zhou Xing answered promptly, his eyes revealing unquestionable confidence. "At the same time, I will use the backup plan to ensure that the operation of your hotel is not affected."

Sure enough, that afternoon, a truck loaded with mattresses drove into the backyard of the hotel. Seeing all this, Ling Xue's worries were finally relieved. She had a greater appreciation for Zhou Xing's sense of responsibility.

As time goes by, the two become more than just work partners, they also begin to understand each other's lives. By chance, Ling Xue learns that Zhou Xing likes classical music, so she invites him to a concert held at the hotel. Zhou Xing learns that Ling Xue loves painting, so he prepares a precious art album for her as a gift.

On a moonlit night, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing shared dinner in the open-air restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. The breeze blew her hair, and Zhou Xing found that she, who was usually calm and decisive in the workplace, looked so gentle at this moment.

"This is my favorite bottle of red wine, let me share it with you." Zhou Xing raised his glass and looked at Ling Xue tenderly.

"Thank you." Ling Xue clinked glasses gently, her eyes full of smiles. At such a moment, she felt as if the whole world was just the two of them. After dinner, the two chatted on the terrace, from career to life, and from life to dreams. They found that they had many common interests and pursuits. That night, the two seemed to be closer in heart.

One morning a few days later, when Ling Xue was about to enter the office, Zhou Xing stopped her.

"Ling Xue, I want to tell you something." Zhou Xing's tone was more nervous than ever before.

"Huh?" Ling Xue looked at him puzzledly.

"I like you, not just as a partner." Zhou Xing said affectionately, with a firm light in his eyes.

Ling Xue was stunned, then smiled and nodded: "I understand, I feel the same way about you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, the joy in their hearts was beyond words.

From then on, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing are not only the best partners at work, but also important partners in each other's lives. Their fate began in a five-star hotel, and they will continue to write their beautiful chapters here.

Ling Xue nodded, "Yes. This Nirvana Pearl is of great importance, we must be more cautious." She paused and added, "In the future, we must redouble our efforts to practice and improve our strength in order to cope with the upcoming challenges."

As night fell, Phoenix Valley was quiet and peaceful. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing sat by the lake, enjoying the moonlight. The lake was like a mirror, reflecting the two of them. Their hearts were filled with expectations for the future and endless faith.

"Zhou Xing, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as we are together, we can overcome all difficulties." Ling Xue said firmly.

Zhou Xing held her hand and answered gently: "Yes, Senior Sister. No matter when and where, I will protect you by your side."

Under the starry sky, two figures lean on each other, looking forward to the challenges and beauty of the future. Although their journey is full of unknowns and dangers, every setback cannot defeat their faith. Through repeated tests, their feelings become deeper and their cultivation becomes more advanced. In this fantasy world, they will go forward hand in hand to meet more adventures and challenges.

Tomorrow is the big day for the Ascension Tribulation. Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Haoqing Sect are nervous, shouldering the heavy burden of going through 1,881 tribulations together. The 101st level is particularly special. Ling Xue is a female student studying abroad, while Zhou Xing is a Chinese youth who has settled abroad. The two know each other. After experiencing various twists and turns, Ling Xue got a green card but resolutely chose to return to China. Zhou Xing also followed her back to China and started a new life.

The morning sun shone through the curtains into the room. Ling Xue sat up from the bed and stretched. She opened the curtains and looked at the familiar street scene outside the window. She felt a sense of belonging. "I'm finally back." She murmured to herself.

At the same time, Zhou Xing was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. He skillfully fried eggs, toasted bread, and made himself a cup of coffee. Hearing Ling Xue getting up, he smiled and called out, "Good morning, Ling Xue! Breakfast will be ready soon."

Ling Xue walked into the kitchen and saw Zhou Xing busy at work, and her heart was filled with warmth. "Thank you, Junior Brother. You are always so thoughtful."

"No way, senior sister, you are the one who has worked hard." Zhou Xing put breakfast on the table, and the two sat down and started to enjoy it.

After breakfast, Ling Xue changed into her business suit and prepared to go to work. She is now a project manager at a domestic multinational company, responsible for the cooperation of multiple international projects. Zhou Xing chose to be a freelancer, usually doing some translation and design work at home.

"I have an important meeting today, so I have to leave early." Ling Xue said to Zhou Xing.

"Come on, senior sister! I believe you can handle it." Zhou Xing encouraged.

After arriving at the company, Ling Xue immediately threw herself into the intense work. She discussed the project progress with her team members and dealt with various emergencies. Despite the high pressure of work, she still handled it with ease, showing extraordinary leadership skills.

During lunch break, she had a simple meal in the office and continued to work. In the afternoon, an important international video conference was about to be held, and she needed to have in-depth communication with the client.

As night falls, the lights of the five-star hotel in the city center gradually light up. Ling Xue stands in the lobby, looking around to make sure everything is perfect. As a new hotel manager, she has a heavy responsibility. At this time, her cell phone rings, reminding her to meet with Zhou Xing, the new hotel supplies supplier tomorrow.

The next morning, in the hotel's conference room, Ling Xue flipped through the documents and prepared to meet Zhou Xing. This was an important meeting, as choosing the right supplier was crucial to the hotel's operations. Soon, Zhou Xing arrived on time, neatly dressed, holding documents in his hands and with a confident smile on his face. As soon as he entered the conference room, he politely shook hands with Ling Xue, introduced himself and expressed his willingness to cooperate.

At the beginning of the meeting, the two quickly got to the point. Zhou Xing explained in detail the types of products he supplied, their quality, and past cooperation cases. His products were rich in variety and high in quality, which aroused Ling Xue's interest. She carefully examined the samples and asked detailed questions from time to time. Zhou Xing answered them one by one, showing his professional knowledge.

"We value quality and reputation and are willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your hotel. We will provide the best service." Zhou Xing said this with a firm and sincere look in his eyes.

Ling Xue nodded, satisfied with his performance. After an in-depth discussion, she believed that Zhou Xing's supply plan met the hotel's needs. So she decided to sign the contract and reach a preliminary cooperation with Zhou Xing.

As time went by, the cooperation between Ling Xue and Zhou Xing became smoother and smoother. Every time a delivery was made, Zhou Xing would personally go to the site to ensure that the product met the standards. His serious and responsible attitude made Ling Xue trust him more. Sometimes, they would drink tea and chat together in the intervals between their busy work, sharing the bits and pieces of life.

One evening, the hotel was preparing to receive a large tour group. Suddenly, the kitchen received a message that a batch of important kitchen utensils had broken down. After receiving the report, Ling Xue immediately contacted Zhou Xing, hoping to solve the problem as soon as possible. Zhou Xing responded quickly and rushed to the scene with his team to inspect the equipment. Under his guidance, the fault was quickly eliminated, ensuring the smooth progress of the event.

Afterwards, Ling Xue said gratefully: "Thank you. Without your help, our event would definitely be affected."

Zhou Xing smiled slightly and replied: "This is what I should do. As long as we work together seamlessly, any problem can be solved."

There are many such small things, and each time they invisibly deepen the tacit understanding and trust between them. Zhou Xing is not only a partner at work, but also a friend in life. They face challenges together and share the joy of success. Each other's existence has become an indispensable part of each other.

On a special night, the hotel held a grand anniversary celebration. The night was star-studded and full of guests. Ling Xue was busy in the banquet hall, directing and arranging various matters.
