The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1398 1401: The Mysterious Woman Returns

"That's right, they didn't care back then, but I'll make them realize that what I said was definitely not nonsense!"

Xu Hao said coldly, "I've had all their information recorded long ago. Some of them are graduating from university this year, and then the Xu Liu Group's influence can affect a vast number of enterprises, and we'll explicitly ban them from working at any company."

"Does it really have to be this strict?" Anna said with some hesitation.

"Of course it has to be this strict. Back then they groveled to foreigners, I told them it was wrong but they wouldn't listen at all. Instead, they opened the map cannon and wantonly insulted us Huaya people. Now they must receive the punishment they deserve, otherwise, how can the rage I felt that day be calmed?" Xu Hao's voice was utterly cold, allowing no room for doubt.

Once he decides to do something, no one can stop him.

Hearing Xu Hao's words, the women didn't refute anymore. Those people really don't deserve much sympathy to begin with; it's just that sometimes they need to think more and be more comprehensive.

Qin Yao asked, "The Mao Family is currently deploying, what should we do now?"

"Let them deploy, since in the end it's all for us to reap the benefits anyway. Their franchise model seems good, but actually has fatal flaws, especially in terms of service, which can lead to unstable clientele. It's better for our proprietary stores to handle everything." Xu Hao said with a smile.

"But if we handle it ourselves, isn't it too demanding? And their retail stores sell various items, which we, as one company, can't fully undertake. Besides, while we want to make money, others need to make money too, otherwise it'll cause massive public resentment." Qin Yao said.

Xu Hao looked at the Huaya map, pointed at the Tiannan and Jiangnan provinces, then said, "Our products have already reached Tiannan Province. The next target is Jiangnan Province. These two provinces' commercial sectors are our territory and must be fully controlled by the Group. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Qin Yao nodded slightly, saying, "If we develop normally, it shouldn't be difficult, since our short-term goal is these two provincial areas."

Xu Hao nodded and continued, "Once we've fully covered these two provinces, we can spread outward. By then, since we'll be foreign forces, it's bound to cause the local forces in those provinces and cities to backlash. But if there's any problem, just tell me. I can send someone or go personally to solve it..."

Throughout the day, Xu Hao and the others were engaged in planning the deployment of Xu Liu Group's industries.

Only at night were they able to go home and rest.

That night.

The mysterious woman came to find Xu Hao again.

"So Ice God is indeed Chu Xiaoxiao."

On the rooftop of the villa, the mysterious woman stood with her hands behind her back, speaking in a voice neither sad nor happy.

Xu Hao asked, "Who exactly are you? Why do you seem to know everything?"

The mysterious woman said blandly, "You definitely can't guess my origins, so don't even try. However, if you can give me the Chengying Sword, one of the Ten Great Divine Swords, I'll tell you my identity."

"Chengying Sword? That's just a legendary sword that never existed..." When Xu Hao said this, his tone paused slightly.

The mysterious woman chuckled slightly, "Seems like you already know that saying."

"What saying?" Xu Hao said, pretending not to understand.

"No need to play coy with me. You must know it. Let me guess, the ones who could tell you this saying should be the Ice Palace Master Ice Blue, right?" The mysterious woman looked at Xu Hao with a half-smile.

Although she was veiled, with a faint Qi Force lingering on her face to obscure her features, Xu Hao still felt that she was smiling.

However, her demeanor of seeming to have everything under control made Xu Hao very displeased. He coldly said, "Aren't you supposed to know everything? Why guess?"

"Oh, throwing a little tantrum with me, are we? If you don't want to say it, don't. I don't care to ask much. I came to tell you, on the night of the fifteenth of the first lunar month at the Crimson Gold Trial Field, I will be there too. If you encounter me then, I won't hold back." The mysterious woman said calmly.

"You won't hold back? I'm just afraid I'll accidentally take you down," Xu Hao chuckled.

Who's looking down on whom here?

"Hehe, hope you can still laugh and speak by then."

The mysterious woman laughed lightly, jumped off the building, and with a few leaps, disappeared into the night.

On the rooftop of another villa.

A scruffy old man was drinking a little wine, eating roasted chicken, with a plate of orchid beans in front of him.

He glanced in Xu Hao's direction, chuckling, "Kid, feeling pretty smug about your fast progress, huh? Unfortunately, the faster you progress, the quicker the crisis comes. If this old bag of bones of mine is gone because of you, you'll only have yourself to blame for letting me down."
