Chapter 111 Awakening?

"Xiaoqian? Xiaoqian?"

Cheng Mai called out into the phone a few times, but the call was still disconnected.

Cheng Mai frowned and looked at Shen Luo, "Xiao Qian and the others are in trouble."

Shen Luo extended his divine sense to check the situation.

Chengmai can only wait for news at the moment.

Shang Xingjian came out of the room, glanced at the absent-minded Shen Luo, and went straight to the bathroom.

Cheng Mai followed him into the restroom, and before closing the door, Shang Xingjian asked, "Want to come in?"

As a result, Cheng Mai threw a pillow at him, which Shang Xingjian caught with a smile. He threw it back before closing the door.

Xiaoqian and the others were unharmed; however, some people suddenly appeared in the mountains, and fearing discovery, they hid.

Cheng Mai was relieved to receive an answer; no wonder Shang Xingjian seemed completely unconcerned just now.

“Didn’t Luo Linwen want to see me? Let’s arrange a time with her,” Cheng Mai said to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo twisted his neck. "Meeting now? Aren't we going to the Cheng Group?"

Cheng Mai watched as the merchant guild's representative appeared at this moment.

Cheng Mai merely glanced at Shang Xingjian and said calmly, "Isn't there someone in the Cheng Group who can handle this?"

"So, you're admitting defeat?" Shen Luo, who always brings up the most awkward topics, shut her mouth decisively after receiving a warning look from Cheng Mai, and even sealed her mouth shut as if she had never said anything.

Cheng Mai grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he couldn't stand the sight of Jian from the business, wishing he could stab him with a few daggers.

Shang Xingjian was thick-skinned and not afraid of her watching. He even took the remote control, turned on the TV, and continued watching the TV series he hadn't finished watching yet.

Cheng Mai was furious and actually went over and kicked him. This time, Shang Xingjian didn't dodge and let her kick him hard. If she hadn't been kicked, he probably wouldn't have been able to calm down.

"Even if I didn't mention it, do you really think you're in charge of the Cheng Group?" Having been kicked out, Shang Xingjian dared to speak out, "If you really have people in this company, then everyone who takes sides in the company isn't truly capable. Truly capable people will only willingly serve those who are more capable."

How could Cheng Mai not understand this principle?

But understanding the reasons doesn't mean she's willing to just let go.

"Leaving aside others, let's talk about Yang Fan. Are you sure she's really your person?" Shang Xingjian continued to provoke him relentlessly.

Shen Luo slapped his face, feeling that this place was not a good place to stay. The boss was always exceptionally good at courting death.

"I'm going to make an appointment with Luo Linwen, I'm leaving now." Shen Luo didn't linger and left immediately.

Cheng Mai put one hand on his hip and looked down at Shang Xingjian, "Go on, continue."

Shang Xingjian felt he should stop short of causing trouble, otherwise Cheng Mai might kill him today.

“What I mean is, you consider the bigger picture; there’s no one in the world more sensible than you.” Shang Xingjian changed his tone.

Cheng Mai was not comforted and still wanted to hit someone.

Just as Shang Xingjian was about to say something, his phone rang.

This time, both Cheng Mai and Shang Xingjian fell silent, and Shang Xingjian's phone barely rang.

Because very few people know his number, and those who do know his number don't call him.

Shang Xingjian looked at the string of numbers on the screen but didn't answer immediately.

Cheng Mai also saw it; it was a local number, which she didn't recognize.

"Answer it." Cheng Mai told him to take the call.

Shang Xingjian tossed his phone to Cheng Mai, too lazy to answer. Cheng Mai glared at him and pressed the answer button.

"Boss Shang, this is Zhu Biao." Zhu Biao's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

Cheng Mai: "President Zhu?"

"Hey, Mr. Cheng, I've finally found you! I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I went to Xuan He, but you weren't there either. So I asked Miss Hu for Mr. Shang's number. You two are really together."

This explains why the business owner, Jane, called.

"Where's my phone?" Cheng Mai thought about how he had just spoken to Xiao Qian on the phone. He looked around, grabbed the phone from the sofa, and found that it was out of battery.

It hasn't been charged since yesterday.

Cheng Mai glanced at Shang Xingjian, who coughed lightly. He explained that he had forgotten to charge his phone while playing games yesterday.

"My phone's dead. Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Zhu?" Cheng Mai asked Zhu Biao as he took his phone to charge it.

"It's nothing major, it's just that the person who bought that tea set last time has returned to his country and wants to meet you and Boss Shang."

"See us? The money and goods are settled, why do you still need to see us?" Cheng Mai said, still looking at the merchant's brief.

"That's what I said too, but that person insisted on seeing you and asked me to ask." The meaning was clear: Zhu Biao did not give that person Cheng Mai's contact information or address.

"I won't see him." Shang Xingjian said. If he wanted to see every Tom, Dick, and Harry, he wouldn't be able to do anything else.

“Okay, I’ll talk to him.” All Zhu Biao wanted was a word; whether he met with him or not, he was just a middleman.

But after Zhu Biao hung up the phone, he seemed to have thought of something else and said, "By the way, that person also said that if you don't meet him, he asked me to pass on a message to you. He said that ten years ago, he was swept away by a glacier while fishing in the Arctic. Someone saved him. That person was mentally challenged, but he could control the sea."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xingjian paused slightly, "Where is the person who saved him?"

Cheng Mai was puzzled, but he understood that Shang Xingjian was about to meet someone.

"Mr. Zhu, please arrange a time for him to bring the person he mentioned to see us." Cheng Mai immediately arranged the meeting with Zhu Biao.

"Okay, I'll see how to arrange it and contact you when it's done." Zhu Biao didn't ask any more questions and just went to do his work.

Cheng Mai ended the call and placed his phone on the table. "Who was that person?"

“The Divine Lord Silan is in charge of the power of the ocean.” Shang Xingjian tapped his arm lightly with his fingertips. “Whether it is or not, we’ll know once we meet him.”

Cheng Mai, however, remained skeptical. "If he were truly mentally unstable, why would he come looking for you on his own initiative?"

"So I have to see him." Whether it's true or not, he has to see him.

"Because they recognized that tea set?" Cheng Mai guessed.

"No, they didn't know I got that tea set, so it couldn't have been because of that." Shang Xingjian was more inclined to believe in the awakening of the gods than the tea set.

This is actually a good thing for him, proving that what he did before had an effect.

Shang Xingjian stared intently at Cheng Mai, waiting for the gods to awaken so that everything could be settled.

Therefore, the matter of the dividing line needs to be expedited.

"Any news from Zhihui?" Shang Xingjian suddenly asked.

Cheng Mai: "She just left yesterday."

"Oh, that's too slow," Shang Xingjian suddenly said in a low voice.

Cheng Mai: "What exactly is this big thing you're planning to do?"

The more the merchant Jian didn't say anything, the more uneasy she felt.
