“So, those people were actually sent here by the Phoenix Farm Villa?” Xiao Lingyu sat in front of her desk and listened to her subordinate’s report with an indifferent expression.
Manager Shi of the operations department said, “That’s right. That is what Wang Wu said.” At this point, he paused for a moment and said indignantly, “Phoenix Farm Villa is really despicable. Their business isn’t good, and they don’t even think about improving it. Instead, they think of some evil ways and despicable methods. It’s really too shameless.” Then, he changed the topic and said to Xiao Lingyu with a smile, “President Xiao, you’re really amazing. You have the foresight to tell us to pay attention. Otherwise, our reputation might really be ruined this time.”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said with a smile, “I’m just relying on my intuition. Have those people been sent to the police station?”
Manager Shi replied, “It was sister Hua and Wang Wu who had been arrested. As for the others, when they saw that the situation wasn’t right, they immediately ran away. Moreover, those people haven’t really done anything. They merely screamed and shouted, so we have nothing to arrest them with.” After saying this, he paused for a moment and said unwillingly, “They have gotten off too easily. They did such horrible things for a mere 2000 RMB. Aren’t they afraid of retribution in the future?”
Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “They are just a bunch of idlers. They will do whatever they can to earn money quickly. Get someone to investigate the situation at Phoenix Farm Villa and report it to me.”
Manager Shi immediately replied, “Yes, President Xiao!”
“Okay, you can leave now,” Xiao Lingyu said.
“Yes!”
After manager Shi left, two small figures immediately appeared in the room.
Seeing them appear with a yellow talisman in their hands, Xiao Lingyu immediately tapped their noses and asked in amusement, “Is it fun?”
Xiao Letong chuckled, “Haha, it’s fun!”
Xiao Lingyu took the yellow talisman from their hands and asked curiously, “Ling ‘Er, is this an invisibility talisman?”
Xiao Ling nodded and said, “Yes, this is an invisibility talisman.”
“When did you learn how to draw an invisibility talisman?” Xiao Lingyu asked curiously.
“It was… it was three days ago!” Xiao Ling wanted to say that it was half a year ago, and his brother drew it, but he suddenly thought of something and changed his words to three days ago.
Xiao Lingyu asked in surprise, “Three days ago?”
“Yes, it was three days ago!” Xiao Letong was worried that Xiao Ling was too naive and accidentally told the truth. “Today is our first time using it. I didn’t expect the effect to be so good.”
Xiao Lingyu looked at the yellow talisman in her hand and asked in puzzlement, “First time using it?” Such a coincidence?
Xiao Ling received Xiao Letong’s telepathic message and said honestly, “Yes, it’s our first time using it. When my brother and I went to the canteen, we overheard that group of people plotting to frame us. We were too young to confront them directly, so we turned invisible and bade our time.”
Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows and asked, “Wang Wu’s sudden fall and the pouring of the things from his pocket were your work?”
Xiao Letong did not hide anything and said, “Yes. Little Ling pushed him with his spiritual power, and at the same time, he also dug out the dirty things in his pockets.”
Xiao Lingyu sighed lightly and touched their little heads, saying very seriously, “Don’t recklessly use the invisibility talisman in the future, understand?”
Xiao Ling instantly asked in confusion, “Why?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “You said that this is the first time you’re using the invisibility talisman, so how can you be sure how long it’ll last? What if the talisman loses its effect in the middle of the public? Then do you know how serious the consequences are?”
They were both children and did not know the dangers of using the invisibility talisman. Now, she had to explain the dangers to them sternly.
“This is a particularly dangerous activity. Do you understand?” Xiao Lingyu said again, “A person appearing out of thin air is a terrifying and shocking thing. What if word gets out and those bad guys come and capture you? Mommy might never see you again, and you might never see Mommy again.”
Xiao Letong said confidently, “Mommy, we are not afraid. We have the invisibility talisman. Those bad guys can’t capture us at all.”
“Xiao Letong!” Xiao Lingyu called out sternly, “Don’t think that just because you have an invisibility talisman, you can do whatever you want. There are too many dangerous factors in this world. Even if God has descended to the mortal world, they will have a hard time dealing with human evil. Moreover, the two of you are still children.”
Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling lowered their heads and blushed after being taught a lesson by their mommy.
Then, they apologized very seriously, “Sorry, Mommy. We will definitely pay attention in the future!”
After all, they were not ordinary children. They understood Xiao Lingyu’s concern.
Xiao Letong was not an ordinary person. He was actually no different from a god.
However, just like what Mommy said, human greed was endless. People might just decide to launch a missile to capture him. ‘I’ll have to be more careful in the future.’ Xiao Letong told himself in his heart.
When Xiao Lingyu saw that the two children really knew their mistakes, her tone softened a little. Then, she said, “Tong Tong, Ling ‘Er, the world may seem peaceful now, but it is actually full of danger. In the future, you must be careful, understand?”
“Yes, we understand!” The two children nodded seriously.
After teaching the two children a lesson, Xiao Lingyu gently stroked their hair and said with a smile, “It’s almost time. Hurry back. Don’t let great-grandparents and the others wait anxiously.”
“Okay, we’ll go home now!” The two children were very obedient this time.
“Mommy, aren’t you coming home with us?” Xiao Letong asked.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Mommy still has some things to deal with here. You guys go back first. Mommy will be back in a while.”
“Okay!” The two children replied again.
Then, the two children held hands and left Xiao Lingyu’s office.
As soon as they left, the two children began to talk in low voices.
“Ling ‘Er, it seems that we can’t use the invisibility talisman casually anymore.” Xiao Letong said seriously, “I’m not afraid, but I don’t want mommy to worry.”
To be honest, he had done a good job of keeping secrets. At least until now, his mommy didn’t know that he had solved many things behind the scenes. Xiao Ling was his perfect front.
Also, although he wasn’t a god, he was an immortal cultivator. He had a lot of supernatural powers and could do anything he wanted.
But now, he just wanted to be an ordinary person.
Xiao Ling had always listened to Xiao Letong’s words. He immediately nodded and replied, “Okay, we won’t use it casually. We won’t let Mommy worry.”
…
“President Xiao, this is the information about the Phoenix Farm Villa.” The next day, manager Shi reported to Xiao Lingyu about the Phoenix farm Villa.
Xiao Lingyu took the information and took a quick look. She said expressionlessly, “The Phoenix Farm Villa has been established for more than ten years.”
Manager Shi said, “The Phoenix farm villa used to be called the Phoenix Farm. The farm was doing very well at first. It has been able to catch the interest of domestic tourists. Its business has been getting better and better, and it has become the number one farm in the country. Later, in order to show its class, it changed its name to Phoenix Farm Villa.”
Xiao Lingyu frowned and said with some doubt, “But why are they suddenly targeting us?”
Manager Shi smiled and said, “President Xiao, ever since Taoyuan Village Farm Resort appeared on the scene, their business has been dropping.
“Not only that, the visitors who had been to our farm would criticize Phoenix Farm Villa endlessly when they visited their place. They’d say that the scenery there was not as beautiful as in Taoyuan village, and entertainment programs were not as fun as in Taoyuan village. What was even more unbearable was that the food sold in there was terrible and expensive.
“After this happened again and again, the manager of Phoenix Villa became anxious and angry. Then, he came up with this despicable move to tarnish the reputation of Taoyuan Village.”
Speaking up to this point, manager Shi paused for a moment and then said with a laugh, “The incident of Phoenix Villa hiring people to tarnish our reputation has been uploaded to the internet by some enthusiastic netizens. There are pictures and videos. The netizens are turning on them. They really brought this upon themselves!”
After listening to manager Shi’s report, Xiao Lingyu flipped through the information again. Her expression was silent for a moment before she ordered, “Go and find out who the owners of Phoenix farm Villa are and who the real major shareholders are. Also, keep an eye on Phoenix farm Villa. If there’s any news, report immediately.”
Manager Shi was stunned at first, then he replied, “Yes!”
However, his expression was very puzzled.
‘CEO Xiao, why are you so concerned about the Phoenix farm Villa?
‘Do you want to give him a taste of his own medicine?’
Manager Shi thought for a moment and still asked, “President…”
Xiao Lingyu immediately waved her hand and said, “Now is not the time for you to ask.”
“Yes!” Manager Shi nodded.
After manager Shi left, Xiao Lingyu turned on her computer and personally searched for information about Phoenix farm Villa on the Internet.
Looking at the various messages that popped up on the internet, Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly. Then, she went to look for related forums.
…
At night, Xiao Lingyu was still writing and drawing in her study.
Gong Tianhao went over and massaged her shoulders. He looked at the things that she had done and asked curiously, “Yu ‘Er, what are you doing? Are you into designing now?”
Xiao Lingyu raised her head and said with a smile, “No, I’m thinking about the Phoenix Farm Villa.”
“What are you thinking about it for?” Gong Tianhao asked, “Hasn’t that problem already been solved?”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “It’s not that.”
“Then what are you thinking about?” Gong Tianhao asked.
Xiao Lingyu thought for a while and said, “Tianhao, do you think it would be okay if I set up a villa?” It wasn’t that much of a leap.
“That sound’s fine.” Gong Tianhao thought for a while and said, “But where do you plan to set up a villa?”
Xiao Lingyu pointed at the line of words written on the paper. “Tell me, is this okay?”
When Gong Tianhao saw the line that said Phoenix Farm Villa, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he said in amusement, “What are you planning to do? Are you going to buy it directly, or are you planning to invest and cooperate with them? However, as far as I know, this Phoenix Farm Villa has been doing well. I don’t think it’s willing to share the cake in its hands with others.”
Gong Tianhao found it funny that the Phoenix farm villa was being targeted like this. However, he could only say that they brought it upon themselves.
Xiao Lingyu said, “It’s decided that I would start farms all over the country. Right now, Phoenix Farm Villa is a good place to start a farm. I heard that their business is getting worse because we’ve stolen their business. I’m thinking that after a while, I’ll be able to hear that their business is going bankrupt. At that time, I’ll be able to buy them out completely.”
She had tens of billions of assets, so she had plenty of funds.
Not to mention buying one Phoenix farm villa, she could even buy ten of them.
However, the problem now was that even if she wanted to buy them, they wouldn’t be willing to sell.
Even if they were willing to sell it, they wouldn’t sell the villa to their nemesis.
Gong Tianhao gently knocked her head and said in amusement, “You wish. With Phoenix Villa’s loyal customers and reputation, they won’t go bankrupt so soon. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t do something to speed up the process.”
The business world was like a battlefield, and the situation was ever-changing.
One second, you might be at the top of the pyramid, but the next, you’d be building the pyramid for others.
Xiao Lingyu looked at Gong Tianhao. She frowned. ‘Is he going to use some underhanded methods to set them up?’
When Gong Tianhao saw her expression, he was instantly speechless. He gently knocked her little head and said in amusement, “What are you thinking about? I’m talking about using definitely a legitimate business tactic, not a despicable one like the one they did.”
