Zhuang Shuyuan teases Bai Lingzhen about her inexperience in dating and offers to help her get closer to Liang Yuan. Meanwhile, Liang Yuan communicates with Little Red, the spirit of the Blood River Sword, who needs Spirit Stones to recover her strength. Liang Yuan provides a large amount, allowing Little Red to absorb the energy. Later, Liang Yuan returns to Yangshan, and Zhuang Shuyuan arrives to discuss matters with him.

Liang Yuan put down the documents in his hand, leaned back on his chair, and casually looked at Zhuang Shuyuan, who was smiling brightly.

"Minister Zhuang, coming to see me so early, is there something urgent?"

Zhuang Shuyuan looked back first to see if anyone was paying attention, then reached out to lock the door.

Liang Yuan immediately spoke, "No need to lock the door, let’s not give people any gossip."

Zhuang Shuyuan’s movements froze, and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"What gossip? I’m a woman and not afraid, Mr. Liang, what are you afraid of?"

Liang Yuan chuckled lightly, "I’m the leader of Yangshan, and naturally, I need to set an example."

"So, what brings you here?"

Zhuang Shuyuan’s eyes shifted, "Aren’t you adept at Mind Reading? Take a guess."

Liang Yuan closed his eyes, seemingly trying to sense something.

Zhuang Shuyuan was startled, thinking he was really trying to read her mind.

She quickly tried to control her thoughts, attempting to conjure images of the passionate scenes from yesterday.

Liang Yuan sensed for a moment and immediately detected Zhuang Shuyuan’s thoughts.

He was speechless and opened his eyes to look at her, saying, "Are you already unsatisfied this early morning? Your mind is full of dirty thoughts?"

Zhuang Shuyuan’s face changed instantly, exclaiming, "Can you really sense that?"

Liang Yuan chuckled again, "Just tell me, why did you come?"

Zhuang Shuyuan tried not to think about her real purpose and said, "Bai Lingzhen contacted me yesterday. She wants to see Yangshan’s development and some production sites. She’s planning to make a bulk purchase of goods to take back to Shu for trade."

"Oh? Just that? Let her go directly then."

"Each department has a person in charge, just oversee it."

Liang Yuan replied indifferently.

Zhuang Shuyuan immediately said, "Mr. Liang, Bai Lingzhen’s business isn’t small. She’s just doing preliminary scouting. If it works out, there will be a steady flow of trade orders in the future."

"I think this matter is best handled by you personally."

Liang Yuan looked up at Zhuang Shuyuan, "Tell me, what exactly is it? With your position in the Inspection Department, this should be manageable."

Zhuang Shuyuan, seeing Liang Yuan’s indifference, became anxious.

She quickly said, "Actually... Miss Bai Lingzhen wants to meet you. She wants to understand the policies for foreign merchants, and she’s considering purchasing property here."

"Can’t these just be done according to the standard procedures?"

Liang Yuan asked.

Zhuang Shuyuan sighed, "It’s not possible by policy alone."

Liang Yuan realized she was asking for a backdoor entry.

"What, did she give you some benefits to convince you to help her cut corners?"

Zhuang Shuyuan laughed softly, "No, I just thought, she’s traveled far and wide, surely she’s more informed than us. Such people are talents; we should keep her here."

"Doesn’t Yangshan also have expeditions? We’ll soon be conducting maritime trade."

Liang Yuan smiled lightly.

Zhuang Shuyuan quickly said, "That’s different; she’s from Shu and a local there."

"We’ve mainly unified the East and South now, just the Western part of Dragon Country remains."

"I think securing her would be beneficial if we aim for the West later."

Liang Yuan looked at her, "Who said I want to advance to the West?"

"The Western mountains are many, with high terrain. If the flood stops, it will definitely become new land, wouldn’t you want that?"

Zhuang Shuyuan couldn’t help but ask.

Liang Yuan laughed, "You know the flood will stop?"

"Of course, otherwise how did the last flood disaster end?"

Zhuang Shuyuan said confidently.

Liang Yuan was surprised; her foresight was truly advanced.

She deduced this correctly.

Although no one knew why the flood stopped last time, it would undoubtedly pass.

This world will eventually return to its original state.

So, Zhuang Shuyuan’s conviction isn’t without merit.

Early occupation of new land seems indeed significant.

Liang Yuan pondered if the flood ends, superpowers might gradually vanish.

Then the world would revert to pre-apocalypse, starting anew.

Liang Yuan frowned slightly, pondering if Yangshan’s foundation would remain if the flood disappears.

He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I’ll join you."

Zhuang Shuyuan was elated and quickly said, "Let’s go; we’ve already scheduled."

Liang Yuan looked at her, "You expected me to agree?"

Zhuang Shuyuan paused and smiled, "How could I? Even if you didn’t agree, she’s visiting today."

"But without you guiding, she won’t be able to see much."

Liang Yuan smiled, did not inquire further, and left the office with Zhuang Shuyuan.

Soon, they arrived at the reception room.

As they stepped out, Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up.

In the reception room stood Bai Lingzhen, wearing a cloud-water-blue Shu silk dress, overlaid with a moon-white shark gauze shawl. The thin fabric closely fitted her alluring figure.

The protruding peaks contrasted sharply with her slender waist.

Her black hair was tied into a simple ponytail, contrasting her fair skin around her neck.

Though her figure was voluptuous, her collarbone was prominent, with a thin gold chain and pendant hanging around her neck, the pendant resting in a white valley, hidden from sight.

Although Liang Yuan was used to seeing beautiful women, Bai Lingzhen still caught his attention, making him look twice.

Upon seeing Liang Yuan and Zhuang Shuyuan come out, Bai Lingzhen rose, a delightful smile gracing her stunning features.

"Mr. Liang, sorry to bother you again."

Perhaps she rose too hastily, causing the prominent chest to sway considerably.

Such a scene inadvertently drew Liang Yuan’s attention.

Bai Lingzhen’s face reddened slightly, but she didn’t shy away, pretending not to notice.

Observing this, Zhuang Shuyuan internally sneered.

"Hmph, someone unexperienced yet with such tactics; I better not plant a time bomb for myself!"

Zhuang Shuyuan inwardly became cautious and quickly stepped in front of Liang Yuan, blocking his view.

She grabbed Bai Lingzhen, smiling sweetly, "Oh, Lingzhen, Mr. Liang always advocates for Yangshan to attract talents, and you’re one of them."

"No trouble at all, Mr. Liang and I will personally give you a tour of Yangshan’s various factories, rest assured."

Bai Lingzhen gratefully said, "Thank you, Sister Yuan."

She turned to Liang Yuan, bowing slightly, "Thank you as well, Mr. Liang."

Her bow was quite significant, revealing two peaks that captivated Liang Yuan’s gaze!

Liang Yuan couldn’t help marveling, "Such peaks! They could rival Sister Mei’s!"
