Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 97 - 96: The Underachiever and the Top Student, a Perfect Match!

Chapter 97: Chapter 96: The Underachiever and the Top Student, a Perfect Match!

The wedding ended in a farce, and Li Chen didn’t stay any longer, turning to walk towards the exit.

To others, Young Master Zhang, who was like a star revered by all, was chasing after him like a fawning dog.

"Mr. Li?"

Li Chen glanced over and asked, "What else do you need?"

Zhang Yuanhao carefully chose his words, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. Li, I have some tricky matters and would like to ask for your help!"

Li Chen asked, "What’s the matter?"

Zhang Yuanhao said, "Mr. Li, my family spent over three hundred million to secure a piece of land on Tongzhou Jiangxin Island to build a commercial district. However, we’ve run into some trouble with this land."

Tongzhou and Donghua are both coastal cities at the border and located where the Yangtze River flows into the sea. Lake Heart Island is a delta formed by the mass of silt carried there by the Yangtze River’s entry into the sea.

Currently, Lake Heart Island is still a desolate quagmire. However, following the 2008 economic crisis, the government invested four trillion yuan to stimulate the market, and the real estate industry surged, with property prices skyrocketing more than tenfold within a decade.

The land on Lake Heart Island, thanks to its unique geographic position, has been developed into an upscale villa area. From being unsellable at 3,000 yuan per square meter to 100,000 yuan per square meter where it’s still hard to find availability, the value has increased by more than thirty times.

However, he remembered that it was the Wang Family, not the Zhang Family, that had secured this land at the time. The Wang Family rose to prominence because of it and became the wealthiest in Huaxia Mainland. They even have a scion who was dubbed the National Husband by a horde of brainless female fans.

Could it be that the Zhang Family missed out on this treasured piece of land because of these troubles?

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn’t help but be intrigued. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh, what kind of trouble?"

Zhang Yuanhao organized his thoughts and said, "Mr. Li, it’s like this. The Wang Family, the local power in Tongzhou, also has their eye on this land and is deliberately causing trouble, resulting in the entire project being mired in difficulties."

Li Chen paused for a moment, then asked, "Given the influence of the Zhang Family, such minor troubles should be manageable, shouldn’t they?"

Zhang Yuanhao made a face, "If it were ordinary troubles, of course, we could handle it. But the Wang Family has brought in an expert with Inner Strength Mastery, some guy named Zhou Tong with an iron arm, who is extremely formidable."

"My father paid a high price for experts, but none could last three rounds against him. Moreover, he’s extremely ruthless. Whenever he makes a move, it ends in death or disability!"

After listening to Zhang Yuanhao, Li Chen nodded slightly, his expression still as calm as a light breeze or passing clouds.

Let alone someone with Inner Strength Mastery, even if an Innate Grandmaster himself came, he would not be afraid.

It just so happened that he had just advanced to the Innate Realm, and he needed to test how powerful his abilities were?

A martial artist with Inner Strength Mastery might not be enough, but it was certainly better than no one at all - something is better than nothing! freёnovelkiss.com

Seeing that Li Chen was interested, Zhang Yuanhao hurriedly extended a hand and said, "If Mr. Li is willing to lend a hand, I can offer you this much as a fee!"

Li Chen frowned and asked, "Fifty thousand?"

Zhang Yuanhao hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no, it’s five hundred thousand. Last time at the KTV, I went a bit too far, and the remaining money, consider it as an apology!"

While speaking, he took out a bank card and handed it over respectfully.

Li Chen did not hold back, taking the bank card nonchalantly.

"No problem, no fight, no friendship, right!"

"By the way, when is the meeting set? I still have classes and need to prepare for college entrance exams, not sure if I’ll have time?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhang Yuanhao almost choked.

For someone as formidable as him to still be taking college entrance exams was completely inconceivable.

Did he actually plan to rely on that diploma for his future?

Even though that’s what he thought, Zhang Yuanhao dared not say it aloud.

"The negotiation is scheduled for tomorrow night at nine o’clock, on Tongzhou Jiangxin Island!"

Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is Saturday, no classes, so I can accompany you to Tongzhou."

Zhang Yuanhao, seeing Li Chen agree, was overjoyed and quickly said, "Great, tomorrow afternoon at three, I’ll drive over to pick you up!"

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "No need, just tell me the location, I’ll go there myself!"

Zhang Yuanhao said, "That’s fine too. The address is at the Blue Love and Death Bar at the intersection of People Road and Datong Road. We’ll probably set off for Tongzhou around five or six in the afternoon."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I got it!"

After Zhang Yuanhao left, Ye Chuxue came over, batting her eyes and asking, "What were you guys talking about just now, acting all secretive?"

Li Chen bragged, "That guy thinks I’m handsome and plans to introduce his sister to me!"

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes dramatically and snorted, "Pssh, as if you’re handsome. You’re as handsome as a cricket’s chirp!"

Li Chen grimaced and said, "Xue’er, is that how you talk about your future husband?"

"Hmph, I’m ignoring you!"

Ye Chuxue’s pretty face blushed, she huffed indignantly, and turned to leave.

Li Chen quickly grabbed her delicate and boneless hand.

Ye Chuxue struggled a bit, and when she couldn’t break free, she let Li Chen hold onto her.

Li Chen said, "There’s nothing to do when we get back, let’s go shopping!"

Ye Chuxue blushed and said, "I still have two test papers I haven’t finished!"

Li Chen said, "No worries, when we get back at night, I’ll help you with your homework!"

What, you helping me with my homework?

Ye Chuxue felt her world turn upside down, exasperation written all over her face.

Li Chen, the second-to-last student in terms of grades, actually wanted to tutor her, the top student in their year. Where in the world did he get such supreme confidence?

Ye Qianwen? [Ye Qianwen sang a song titled "Confidence"]

Li Chen saw through Ye Chuxue’s little thought and raised an eyebrow, asking, "You don’t believe me?"

Ye Chuxue nodded her head like a pecking chicken and said, "I don’t believe you. It’s more like I should be tutoring you, you academically challenged student!"

At the end, she emphasized the words "academically challenged" quite heavily.

Li Chen said indifferently, "An academically challenged student and a top student, what a perfect match!"

"Besides, so what if I’m academically challenged? In the end, you’ll still be under me all the same!"

Eh?

Under me, what on earth?

Ye Chuxue, pure as a blank sheet of paper, didn’t catch the implication at that moment.

"Yuck, you scoundrel, why would you be on top?"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Female on top works too, I don’t mind!"

Ye Chuxue nodded proudly, and said, "Hmph, that’s more like it!"

However, as soon as she spoke, she felt something was off.

Female on top, what on earth is that?

"Li Chen, you scoundrel, what the heck are you thinking about?"

Li Chen casually replied, "I’m thinking about you!"

Ye Chuxue’s fury erupted, and she charged towards Li Chen with a ferocious look.

"Ah, ah, ah, you scoundrel, stop right there, don’t run, I’m going to kill you!"
