A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1345 This is just the beginning! (Please subscribe!)
P.S.: Went to work today, sigh!

After Hua Shier announced to the women that everything was alright, he turned and patted Boss Fang on the shoulder:

"Old Fang, there's no rush with the drinking. Wait for me a moment, I'll go check if President Wei is alright!"

Boss Fang thought he was worried that he had hit the person too hard and hurt them, so he quickly said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, we have a medical room here. I'll have someone take Lao Wei there to get bandaged up right away!"

Hua Shier nodded: "Okay, then you can wait until I'm done beating him before we wrap it up together. And please order a mummy-themed one for him!"

Everyone was stunned; the fight wasn't over yet!

Hua Shier strides toward Wei Wei:
"Old Biden, those two slaps on the ashtray earlier count as payment for your insults. Now it's time to settle other scores!"

Andy ran over and stood in front of Hua Shier:

"Old Wang, don't be impulsive!"

Hua Shier shoved Andy aside, went over and grabbed Wei Wei by the hair, ignoring his horrified expression, and slammed his head against the ground repeatedly, each slamming accompanied by a justified explanation:
"So you dared to investigate me, so you dared to be sarcastic, so you dared to call me petty, now that you know I'm petty, you still dare to investigate me?"

After a few loud thuds, Wei Wei lost consciousness, and blood flowed out from the cracks in the floor tiles.

The shop owner was startled and quickly advised:
"Mr. Wang, that's enough. If someone dies, things will get really serious!"

Hua Shier: "Don't worry, I have a license. I can kill someone and not pay with my life!"

Mr. Fang, puzzled but impressed, asked: "A license to kill?"

Clearly, Lao Fang was thinking about Hua Shier's arrogance and ruthlessness, considering him to be a special being, such as someone with a hidden identity, like Huaxia 008, the Shenzhou Black-Clad Man, the Superpowered Dragon Group, or the Yanhuang Captain.

Hua Shier directly denied it: "No, it's a mental illness license!"

Lao Fang: It's such a surprise.

Andy saw Hua Twelve raise his fist, even intending to whip the corpse.
Wei Wei: Is there any possibility that I've passed out and can still be saved?

Anyway, Andy couldn't stand it anymore. Seemingly provoked, she screamed and rushed forward to tear at Hua Twelve, while yelling at Wei Wei on the ground:
"Run, little brother! Run, little brother!"

Everyone immediately realized that something was wrong with Andy; he was even calling Wei Wei "little brother," which was clearly abnormal.

Hua Shier was speechless. Well, he was faking madness, but now he really is.

Others might not know what happened, but he did. Andy's maternal grandmother was mentally ill, and Andy's mother inherited the gene for mental illness. She also developed mental illness after experiencing trauma when she was young. Andy's younger brother was also not normal, so Andy also had this gene in his body.

In the original storyline, after Andy reunited with her younger brother and learned about the incident, she developed mental health issues, becoming suspicious, anxious, and insecure, fearing that she might one day follow in her mother's footsteps.

Hua Shier estimated that the current situation was similar to what Andy had experienced when her younger brother was bullied like this when she was a child in the orphanage. He had even been pulled by the hair and slammed to the ground.

So when Andy saw him grabbing Wei Wei, that old man, and slamming him against the earth, it triggered memories of her childhood. Combined with the events of today, it triggered the madness gene in her family.

Of course, this doesn't mean she's gone crazy. This is just a stress response. If she receives timely treatment, she can recover, but she'll just be one step closer to developing the disease.

Several women also noticed something was wrong. Suppressing their fear of Hua Twelve's outburst, they rushed over to check on Andy's condition:
"Andy, what's wrong? Are you alright?!"

"Andy, don't scare us!"

Andy seemed completely deaf to their conversation at this moment; her eyes were unfocused, and she spread her arms like a mother hen, shielding Wei Wei.
"Get away! Get away from me! Don't hit my brother! Don't hit my brother!"

Fan Shengmei seizes the opportunity to lash out at the Emperor Twelve:
"Wang Baichuan, look what you've done! You've scared Andy half to death. Are you satisfied now?"

Hua Shier casually slapped Fan Shengmei with a large slingshot:

"Trying to label me, huh? Even though I just wanted to have a meal with you, I've spent over ten thousand yuan treating you to meals. You could raise a hundred dogs and still be tame, but you're such an ingrate!"

Fan Shengmei's vision blurred from the slap, and she was so shocked and frightened that she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Qu Xiaoxiao immediately seized the opportunity:
"Wang Baichuan, you hit a woman!"

Hua Shier slapped her across the face, causing Qu Xiaoxiao to stumble and fall into Yao Bin's arms.

"You know I hit women and you still keep talking nonsense? Are you out of your mind or have masochistic tendencies?!"

As he spoke, he wanted to go up and kick her in the ovary, to let this guy know that he doesn't hit women easily, but when he does, he goes all out.

Yao Bin quickly stepped in front of Qu Xiaoxiao and pleaded:
"Brother Wang, give me some face, Xiaoxiao didn't do it on purpose!"

Qu Xiaoxiao felt her face burning; she had never suffered such a loss before, and immediately retorted:
"Yao Bin, are you even a man? Didn't you see he hit me? Beat him up! What was the point of all that MMA training you did?!"

Boss Fang frowned and scolded his nephew, "Binzi, don't be silly!"

Yao Bin was deeply troubled, and said to Qu Xiaoxiao with a wry smile:

"Xiaoxiao, you better behave yourself. Brother Wang could beat ten of me with one hand!"

Yao Bin shudders at the memory of the day he insisted on sparring with Hua Shier, only to be filled with fear when he faced the Great Demon King in the octagon. Even now, his ribs ache just thinking about it. Plus, that guy likes to groin-thrust!

Hua Shier didn't have time to pay attention to Qu Xiaoxiao right now. Andy's condition wasn't good. If she didn't receive timely treatment, the longer it dragged on, the greater the psychological damage would be.

He had a fairly good impression of Andy. Although they had had a misunderstanding, Andy had taken the initiative to apologize sincerely, so they could be considered friends. It would be unreasonable for him to just sit idly by.

Hua Shier walked over and said to Andy:
"Andy, you don't want anything to happen to your brother, do you?"

Andy's eyes suddenly focused: "What do you want to do?"

Hua Shier suddenly raised his hand, and in the next instant, a silver needle was inserted into Andy's Baihui acupoint. The latter seemed to have all his strength drained away instantly and was about to collapse when Hua Shier grabbed him and carried him to the dining table, placing him on a chair.

Everyone around was terrified. A needle was stuck in the top of his head. Would that person be alright?

Qiu Yingying was so scared she almost cried: "Brother Wang, boss, don't mess around! If you go in, where am I going to find a job?!"

Hua Shier was so angry he laughed:
"You really care about me. Can't you see I'm treating her? This is acupuncture, you know? Don't bother me, someone could die if I prick the wrong spot!"

As he spoke, his hands never stopped moving. In the blink of an eye, several silver needles appeared on Andy's body, which were inserted into the Taiyang, Fengchi, Renzhong, Neiguan, Shenmen, Dazhui, and Hegu acupoints.

Then, with a series of flicks of his fingers, the silver needles trembled and hummed, his skillful technique appearing almost miraculous to outsiders.

In fact, Hua Shier could have cured Andy's mental illness with his Double-Handed Technique, preventing a relapse, but he didn't want to expose his abilities, and even though they were friends, they didn't have that kind of close relationship.

Hua Shier felt he had done more than enough by using silver needles to help her recover and prevent any lasting effects from this illness.

That's what you call a quick cure; in less than a minute, Andy regained his senses:
"I, what's wrong with me?"

Hua Shier put away the needle in a second and casually said:

"You're alright now. That bastard Wei Wei tried to assault you, so I cracked his head open for you. You're welcome!"

Andy's confusion was only momentary. Once his anger subsided, he remembered what had just happened, gave Hua Twelve a light punch in annoyance, and then quickly got up.

"How is Wei Wei?"

"He's not dead yet. I'll give you face this time and not beat him up. But once we leave here, I'll use all my resources to blast him to smithereens. When he wakes up, he can be begging for food!"

Hua Shier turned to look at the women. Apart from Qiu Yingying, who looked at him with admiration, the others looked at him with a hint of fear.

He didn't care at all, and said with a smile:
"Given the current situation, I figured if I stayed, you wouldn't be able to eat well, so I'm not going to get involved. You guys can have some fun!"

Turning to the other party's boss, he said, "Old Fang, want to have a drink?"

Mr. Fang exclaimed happily, "I couldn't be happier!"

He wasn't just being polite; Hua Shier's investment company's success in helping all its clients take off has become a legend in the industry. A 20% profit margin in one month, and a 40% increase in two months.

I heard that people in the industry are going crazy.

Many wealthy people flocked to this opportunity to make money, and Mr. Fang was one of them.

However, Hua Shier's company is no longer accepting new customers, so he can only worry helplessly.

By chance, Mr. Fang met Hua Shier at a charity gala through a friend's introduction. He tried to invite Hua to dinner several times, but was refused each time. This opportunity was rare, which is one of the reasons why he took sides.

Wei Wei was merely Boss Fang's business partner, while Hua Shier was his own father who could help him take off. It goes without saying which one was more important.

As for why Wei Wei, who is also a financial player, didn't know about Hua Twelve Company?
The main reason is that Wei Wei has been handling foreign trade business abroad during this period and is not aware of what is happening in China.

As for his request to investigate information about Hua Twelve, we should ask T1000 if anyone can find even the slightest bit of information about its owner online.

Even if you can find it, it's all outdated information from the past.

If Wei Wei had known the truth earlier, given his cunning and protective nature, he would never have shown any hostility on the surface. Even if he wanted revenge, he would definitely have used underhanded tactics.

Of course, Wei Wei didn't expect Hua Shier to be so reckless. He had only said a few sarcastic remarks, and he was beaten into this state.

Boss Fang had Wei Wei taken to the emergency room, and then warmly invited Hua Shier to the VIP room. Before leaving, he whispered a few words to his security captain, telling them to check everyone's cell phones to make sure there were no videos or evidence before letting them leave.

Hua Shier smiled slightly. Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if Boss Fang didn't do that. With the T1000, recordings wouldn't be a problem. They could be remotely deleted directly from the phone. However, he appreciated the other party's thoughtfulness.

The banquet arranged by Boss Fang was extremely lavish, representing the most luxurious set menu at this resort.

Steamed grouper with traditional dragon-shaped sauce, baked Australian lobster with cheese, two ways to prepare king crab, braised sea cucumber with scallions, abalone stewed in golden broth with Sichuan peppercorns, simmered matsutake mushrooms and Wagyu beef, stewed old hen with morel mushrooms and ham, and cherry foie gras prepared using French molecular gastronomy techniques.

The liquor is 30-year-old or 30-year-old Moutai.

This meal costs at least six figures.

Hua Twelve reciprocated the favor at the dinner table:

"Old Fang, you handled things very well today, and I know what you're thinking. Here's what we'll do: for international investment, I'll give you a minimum investment of ten million and a maximum of five hundred million!"

"You can vote yourself, or you can bring others along to do a favor!"

"With the principal guaranteed, I promise a minimum annual profit of 50%, which can be written into the contract. However, the company will charge 30% of the profits as a handling fee. What do you think?"

Mr. Fang was overjoyed. For a boss of his size, playing small games wouldn't be interesting. He could use about 200 million yuan for investment, and the remaining 300 million yuan could be used for favors. How could he not be happy?

He quickly stood up: "Mr. Wang, you're very kind. Let me toast you, Lao Fang. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just let me know. I have some connections in Shanghai!"

Hua Shier toasted with him and drank it all in one gulp:

"Speaking of which, I happen to need your help, Lao Fang. Wei Wei offended me, and I promised to make him beg for food, and I won't go back on my word!"

"You need to spread the word for me that to become a client of my company, besides the financial requirements, there's another condition: you need to help me deal with Wei Wei. Whoever plays a role in this matter, I'll include them in my business!"

Boss Fang didn't even hesitate:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I've got this covered. I happen to have a business deal with Wei Wei, so I'll have the finance department deduct his funds. If he wants the money, he can sue us. These lawsuits will take at least ten years to finish!"

Hua Shier's eyes lit up: "Old Fang, you're quite creative! If all his partners did this, he wouldn't even have the money to pay for the lawsuit!"

The two men gave a series of wicked laughs, both looking rather sinister.

Just as they were laughing, the person who opened the guest room door pushed it open, and the two of them instantly changed their expressions, becoming righteous.

Boss Fang was about to lose his temper. How dare someone push open his door? He was about to explode when he saw his nephew, Yao Bin, walk in.

"Uncle, Brother Wang, we're eating!" Yao Bin said with an embarrassed smile.

Hua Shier waved for Yao Bin to sit down, then smiled and said:
"Given your simp nature, you shouldn't have left Qu Xiaoxiao, right? I bet she sent you here to find out about me, didn't she?"

"Ah, this."

Yao Bin's face turned red; it was clear that Hua Shier had hit the nail on the head.

Hua Shier patted Yao Bin on the shoulder:

"Binzi, don't blame me for not reminding you, that woman Qu Xiaoxiao has found a piece of Tang Monk flesh, and the two of them have probably already slept together. You, on the other hand, are practically glowing with green light and you don't even know it!"

The mere mention of Dr. Zhao had already planted a thorn in Yao Bin's side, and now, hearing Hua Shier's words, his expression immediately changed:

"Is that Dr. Zhao?"

Hua nodded:
"That guy's name is Zhao Qiping. He's a player too. You like investigating people for Qu Xiaoxiao, right? Then you can investigate him yourself. While you're at it, also find out how much of a playboy Qu Xiaoxiao is having abroad. I'm quite curious about that myself."

"By the way, I'm telling you in advance, I'm determined to deal with Qu Xiaoxiao. If you help her, you'll become my enemy, and I won't show any mercy!"

He had barely finished speaking, and before Yao Bin could reply, Boss Fang interjected:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. I'll call my brother-in-law right away. If that brat dares to go against you for a woman, we'll cut off his family's financial support from now on!"

Yao Bin smiled wryly; "You really are my uncle!"

The following afternoon, Wei Wei woke up in a hospital in downtown Shanghai. When Andy brought him there, he was diagnosed with a concussion and had been in a coma for a day and a night.

Andy had work to do, so he didn't stay to take care of the online friend. Instead, he found a caregiver to help look after him.

After Wei Wei woke up, he did not call the police immediately because he knew that Hua Shier had a license. Even if he called the police, it would just be a dispute, and in the end, the other party would just pay some money and that would be the end of it.

With a net worth of one billion, would he be short of this little bit of money?
He was beaten to this state; he wanted Hua Shier's life!

He was about to make a call to arrange revenge after finding his phone, but before he could even dial, his company called. Upon answering, the company's finance officer anxiously said:

"Boss, several payments were due this morning, but it's already afternoon and there's still no word. I called to urge them to pay, but they said they won't pay the remaining amount and told us to take legal action!"

Wei Wei was a little confused and told the finance department not to worry, that he would handle it personally when he returned to the company.

He didn't even bother to find someone to help him get revenge. He endured the pain from the wound on his head and quickly went through the discharge procedures.

Upon returning to the company, I immediately called several business partners:
"Old Zhao, what's going on? What happened?"

Before he could finish asking, his business partner said:
"Old Wei, I know what you want to ask. I can't give you the money, and I won't do any more business with you in the future. If you want your money, go to court!"

Wei Wei was about to ask what was going on when the other party hung up the phone and blocked him when he called back.

He called another business partner who was supposed to pay him today, and the result was the same: the other party told him, "Want your money? Go ahead and sue me!"

If it were just one company doing this, then there must be a problem with the other party. But with one bad message after another, and many partners refusing to make payments, Wei Wei knew that he himself was in trouble, and that he was in big trouble.

Just when he was at his wit's end, a call came in from overseas:
"Boss, our batch of industrial robots was detained at the port. They said it's on the control list and can't be exported!"

Wei Wei immediately became anxious: "How could that be? Wasn't it confirmed to be an obsolete technology model?"

How could he not be anxious? That's a shipment worth 300 million yuan! There's a contract signed in China, and if it can't be shipped back in time, both sides will lose money, which would be a huge problem.

Hua Shier knew everything about Wei Wei's situation, and called Wei Wei that evening:

"Old Wei, how was your day? Don't rush, this is just the beginning!"

Meanwhile, at Pudong Airport, GI Company's negotiating representative had just disembarked from the plane when he was picked up by Qu Lianjie, a representative of Yaohong Group, and his entourage.

Two hours later, at Hongqiao Airport, Qu Xiaoxiao, as the representative of Yaohong Group, waited anxiously as several foreigners approached.
"Hey, we're the negotiators from GI Technology Group!"
