Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld

"But..."

"I believe Miss Xia has ulterior motives towards Boss Fang."

He said as he took out something and handed it over:

"Found this on Miss Xia."

Fang Zheng took it, unfolded it, and his eyes flickered before his expression returned to normal:

"What is this?"

"Boss Fang doesn’t know?" Lu Huanhuan looked surprised:

"The Jianghu rumors say you have extraordinary abilities like Netherbinding; you should be familiar with such mystical things."

"Jianghu rumors are not to be trusted," Fang Zheng shook his head:

"There’s no such thing as gods or ghosts in this world."

"True." Lu Huanhuan nodded:

"This thing is a Lover’s Curse commissioned by Miss Xia, it contains Boss Fang’s birth details, and it’s said that chanting the spell daily can make a man fall in love with a woman."

"Boss Fang really is charming, look how smitten Miss Xia is."

Fang Zheng remained silent.

Outside the room.

The new police officer frowned and said:

"Brother Liu, are we really going to accommodate him like this?"

"What else can we do?"

Officer Liu raised an eyebrow, then glanced at the other:

"Do you know how much tax revenue Fangtian Group brings to Qu City each year, and how many civil servants depend on that revenue for a living?"

"For instance, our Public Security Bureau..."

"Fangtian Group sponsored nearly sixty million this year, and that’s why our days are so comfortable, thanks to this money."

"But..." the new officer lowered his voice:

"We are here to maintain law and order, not to be Fangtian Group’s enforcers."

"That’s not the way to look at it," Officer Liu raised an eyebrow:

"Who says getting money makes us enforcers? If Fangtian Group causes trouble, we’ll deal with it just the same, as the two directors have explicitly stated."

"I know you’ve heard things, rumors of the Public Security Bureau being in cahoots with Fangtian Group, aiding and abetting, but have you noticed any disturbances in Qu City recently?"

The newcomer didn’t answer.

"Forget what others say."

Officer Liu patted his shoulder:

"Watch how we handle things. Fangtian Group is a business; they want a stable operating environment even more than we do."

"As long as there’s money to make and lives to live, what’s the harm in granting a bit?"

The newcomer slowly nodded.

......

Walking out of the Public Security Bureau, Fang Zheng glanced at a man not far away with a face full of resentment, and spoke softly:

"What do you plan to do next?"

"What else can I do?" It was already late, the chill was setting in, Xia Hong couldn’t help but huddle up, rubbing her arms against each other:

"Get a divorce!"

"He’s been wanting to divorce me for a long time. As long as the child stays with me, everything else is negotiable."

"Hmph!"

She snorted lightly, stating:

"Lucky him, I’ve worked so hard these years to earn so much money, giving away more than half, it’s over ten million."

The willingness to give up more than half was to ensure the other party wouldn’t fight for custody.

Fang Zheng didn’t say much, this was Xia Hong’s family matter, and he as an outsider, viewed as the ’third party’ by others, saying more would be useless.

He simply took off his coat and placed it over Xia Hong.

"Boss Fang."

Xia Hong tightened the coat, the warmth from the man made her blush:

"I’ll have to rely on you from now on, could you arrange some work for me, Boss Wen from Square Porcelain is getting more and more dissatisfied with me."

"Square Porcelain is already on the right track, it doesn’t need promotion." Fang Zheng shook his head:

"You’re welcome to come to Square Porcelain if you’re willing to leave the Xia Family business, I just fear you can’t bear to leave the Xia Family’s porcelain."

Xia Hong pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes turning:

"Boss Fang, shall we go to the hotel? I’m now a free person, you don’t need to worry about anything anymore."

?

Fang Zheng rubbed his forehead, then took out an item from himself:

"Where did it come from?"

It was a yellow talisman with the birth details written on it in his hand.

Xia Hong blushed, replied sheepishly:

"Got it from Antique Street."

"How much?"

"...88,000."

"Seems like you don’t lack money." Fang Zheng shook his head:

"How to contact?"

"Why are you asking?" Xia Hong was stunned:

"Fake, it’s useless."

"If you know it’s useless, why buy it?"

"Just a ’what if’ idea."

"That’s enough."

Fang Zheng spoke:

"Where can I find this talisman maker, I have matters for him."

"Oh!"

Xia Hong pouted.

"By the way." Fang Zheng spoke:

"Remember the courtyard I mentioned?"

"The inheritance left by the master, the land has been approved, I plan to build it into a retro courtyard."

"Building and decorating it myself, it’ll cost one or two hundred million, and take one or two years. If you’re interested, you can help me oversee it."

"There’s commission."

"Really?" Xia Hong’s eyes lit up:

"Thanks, Boss Fang!"

At dawn.

Fang Zheng stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the view outside.

"Welcome home."

The electronic door lock emitted a mechanical sound, followed by the door opening, and a short-haired woman in a neat work outfit strode in.

Other than him, there was only one person who had access to this room’s fingerprint lock.

"Boss Wen."

Fang Zheng spoke softly:

"Next time you come in, please knock."

"How should I know if you’re in?" Wen Lei pouted:

"Adding my fingerprint was to come and go conveniently, and you don’t have a woman around anyway, what are you afraid of?"

"Ha..." Fang Zheng shook his head:

"Got something on your mind?"

"Yes." Wen Lei nodded:

"Someone in the market has started imitating Floating Light Brocade, and it won’t be long before imitation Flowing Cloud Gauze appears, but due to the high cost, it’s not a threat to us for now."

"Square Porcelain and Yunzhi are going the luxury route, as long as their reputation is strong and ingrained in people’s minds, even ordinary things can be sold at high prices." Fang Zheng spoke slowly:

"No need to worry."

"Understood." Wen Lei agreed:

"Brahma has confirmed their purchase of Yunzhi’s products, with an annual quota of over one billion, contracts renewed every two years."
