After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 995 - 992: Shixia Trading Company

Bi Xia smiled helplessly; now he understood why Hao Xisheng was so foolish. It turns out it wasn’t due to any innate stupidity, but rather from spending every day with his carefree master, slowly becoming like this. However... thinking of the mechanisms Hao Xisheng designed in the shop, Bi Xia was curious, "Are you still in school?"Hao Xisheng looked at Bi Xia strangely, "Why does this question sound oddly familiar? It’s like the old folks next to our shop gossiping and setting up blind dates..."

Bi Xia: "... Answer me honestly!"

"Yes!" Hao Xisheng got serious, "To report to Your Majesty, I’m no longer in school. After finishing high school, I was too lazy to continue, even under my master’s pressure; I firmly dropped out."

"Why?" Bi Xia was puzzled. "I think the mechanisms you design are really impressive; you must be good at science subjects."

Hearing Bi Xia’s praise, Hao Xisheng bashfully scratched his head, "Well, my science subjects have always been first in my class."

"Then why did you drop out?" Meng Chi also became curious.

Hao Xisheng blinked, "I mean, shouldn’t you think maybe there’s some difficulty at home, so I had to give up my college dream and stop here?"

Meng Chi paused slightly, then shook his head honestly, "To be honest, I really didn’t think you had any difficulties or secrets."

Hao Xisheng: ...

Bi Xia shrugged, "I didn’t think that much; it’s just too boring on the road. I purely want to know for fun."

Hao Xisheng: ...

"Oh my god, you really hurt my feelings! Aren’t we all going to work together in the future?" Hao Xisheng said aggrievedly to Bi Xia, "And Your Majesty, shouldn’t you be a bit more kind and caring to your future employees? It really hurts my feelings when you poke at me like this!"

Suddenly, through the rearview mirror, Hao Xisheng saw Bi Xia slowly curling his lips, feeling uneasy, then glanced over to see Meng Chi also laughing at him, swallowing hard, "Wha-what are you laughing at?"

Meng Chi smiled slightly, "Nothing, just..." He raised his hand and patted Hao Xisheng on the shoulder, "Hello there, future colleague."

Hao Xisheng: ...

Suddenly realizing, Hao Xisheng screamed, ahhh!!! He planned to hold back for a few more days; how did he just sell himself out today!? Would His Majesty think he’s too easy, and forget who he is in the future? Moreover, would His Majesty think he’s too easy to catch, and thus...?

Looking at the extremely conflicted Hao Xisheng, Bi Xia raised his eyebrows slightly, unable to help but chuckle lightly; this Hao Xisheng, his facial expressions are so rich, without even speaking it’s clear his brain is supplementing with all sorts of melodrama.

Meng Chi also saw Hao Xisheng’s expression and couldn’t help but roll his eyes, slapping Hao Xisheng on the shoulder, "Focus on driving!"

Hao Xisheng yelped, glaring, "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing, you’re the one driving, conjuring stories in your head; you’re too much!" Meng Chi shook his head, "Don’t worry, once you’re there, the boss won’t forget you, since you’re from Yan City; just for that, the boss wouldn’t set you aside."

Hao Xisheng: ... Why does it feel a bit bittersweet?

Seeing Meng Chi’s cunning smile, Bi Xia sighed lightly, indeed, Chi has learned mischief, it’s all mom’s fault, teaching Chi to become a drama queen.

"We’ve arrived." Hao Xisheng gradually pulled the car to a stop, leaning forward to look at the tall building outside, on the second floor there was a large sign saying "Shixia Trading Company", "That should be the company, honestly, it looks small, but it’s quite famous in Yan City."

"Anyone who can collaborate with Zheng Silk is definitely not ordinary." Meng Chi said.

"Actually, it’s not because of Zheng Silk; to be honest, if it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have known it was collaborating with that famous silk tycoon." Hao Xisheng found a spot and parked the car, "Shixia Trading is renowned in Yan City mainly because it’s low-key, if someone wants to do business with them, they can’t even find them. Moreover, they’re considered rivals to our Yan City’s Yu Du, we all thought Shixia wouldn’t last long before Yu Du crushes it, but strangely, on the contrary, Shixia Trade remains stable, whereas Yu Du, at the time, suffered greatly."

"So, since that day, basically everyone in Yan City knows Shixia Trading is not to be messed with."
