On the first day of the New Year, Ling'er and Ai Mi left the Ordinary Balance and started the Star Creation Project step by step according to the plan.
Martial came one after another and still occupied Tang Zheng's bedroom. Moreover, she did not have a good expression as she gnashed her teeth, wishing that she could beat up Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng originally did not want to bring along this burden but he knew that his previous actions were somewhat inappropriate so even if Martial was resentful, he did not fight back.
In any case, it was not like Martial had not been by his side before so he had already adapted to this kind of life.
However, the old man was somewhat disappointed with Lan Yu's departure. He originally thought that this mother and son pair would improve their relationship but it seemed that the road ahead was long and not easy.
On the second day of the New Year, Tang Zheng did not stay idle as he came to Fang Shishi's house early.
This was because yesterday, Fang Shishi had told his parents that she wanted to have a meal with him.
The only regrettable thing was that Martial, this burden, did not leave. No matter how he threatened her, she did not buy it. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.
Martial did this on purpose. Tang Zheng dared to treat his master and mistress like that so she could not let him do as he wished. She was very happy to add a bit of pressure to his heart.
Standing at the door, Martial glanced at his empty hands, curled her lips and said: "It's the New Year and you don't even know that I brought some gifts."
Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and gave a nonchalant smile.
The door opened and Fang Shishi was pleasantly surprised as she stood at the door and called out: "Quickly come in!"
Suddenly, her face stiffened as she saw Martial behind Tang Zheng and awkwardly said: "You also came!"
"If he wants to come, I can't do anything about it." Tang Zheng helplessly said.
Fang Shishi smiled and said: "No problem, it's the New Year. Everyone should gather together. The more the merrier."
However, She Mengqin clearly did not have any thoughts of livening things up with more people. When she saw Wu Hou, her expression instantly changed. She thought in her heart, just what is this Tang Zheng up to? He even brought a girl to my house. Is he really trying to anger me?
When she saw that Tang Zheng was empty-handed, her face darkened. How could he not bring any gifts on New Year's Day? Was this the attitude of a junior?
He didn't even put her in his eyes.
Even though She Mengqin already knew that Tang Zheng's background was not simple, it was also because of this that she took the initiative to invite Tang Zheng to her home as a guest.
Her attitude towards Tang Zheng was unpredictable. Every time she found him pleasing to the eye, Tang Zheng would make some trouble for her. But after that, he would give her a big surprise. She had no choice but to adjust her attitude, which made her very tired.
Fang Chongguo, on the other hand, was much calmer. He didn't have a strong impression of Tang Zheng, although Tang Zheng had many good points and flaws.
Even though She Mengqin's expression was not good, Tang Zheng still smiled and said: "Auntie, Happy New Year."
She Mengqin was expressionless as she turned around to leave.
"Auntie, this is my New Year's gift to you. It's just a small token of my respect." Tang Zheng's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast as he hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.
She Mengqin raised her foot but retracted it. She curiously looked at the porcelain bottle and said: "Just come, why bring a gift. “
However, she silently cursed in her heart: "It's just a small porcelain bottle. It doesn't seem to be anything high grade. What good can it be?"
She had a face of disappointment and was about to place it to the side.
Fang Shishi saw through her mother's thoughts and hurriedly asked: "Tang Zheng, what's inside?"
She knew that Tang Zheng's gift was definitely not ordinary so she purposely asked to give her boyfriend some face.
"Pill!"
"Pill? Tang Zheng, what is the meaning of this? Giving me medicine on New Year's Day, are you trying to curse me to death? "She Mengqin heard this and immediately flipped out.
Fang Shishi revealed an awkward expression as she glared at Tang Zheng. In her heart she was saying how could he be so careless as to give her such a thing. However, she hurriedly explained for her boyfriend: "Mom, he definitely didn't mean it that way. He is just this careless so please don't mind him."
"Auntie, this is not a normal pill. It is a pill refined by the King Of Medicine that can improve one's physique, retain one's youth, and prolong one's life." Tang Zheng explained.
This was indeed refined by the King Of Medicine. When he first saw Tang Zheng refine the Life Continuing Pill, he pondered over it for a period of time before finally coming up with this pill.
Of course, this pill did not have as good of an effect as the Life Continuing Pill but it did not lack many precious ingredients and special refining methods. It really did have the effects that Tang Zheng said it had.
Hearing the King Of Medicine's name, She Mengqin and Fang Chongguo's expressions slightly changed. Originally, they had met the King Of Medicine several times in the hospital.
Afterwards, Fang Chongguo took this matter to heart and specially investigated the King Of Medicine. Only then did he know that the King Of Medicine actually had such a great reputation.
This kind of expert was not someone they had the opportunity to come into contact with. Now that this small porcelain bottle actually contained a pill personally refined by the King Of Medicine, it was simply a priceless treasure.
She Mengqin originally felt that she was unlucky but at this moment her expression immediately changed. Unable to contain her joy, she asked: "Was it really refined by the King Of Medicine?"
"This is a new pill refined by him. Currently, there is only this small bottle in your hands and no one else has it." Tang Zheng calmly said.
"There's only one bottle in the world?" She Mengqin's eyes widened and even Fang Chongguo's face was filled with surprise and joy. He thought to himself that he had still underestimated the value of this pill.
However, since there was only one bottle in the world and it was in Tang Zheng's hands, then how good was the relationship between Tang Zheng and the King Of Medicine?
Otherwise, why would the King Of Medicine give such an important pill to him?
Even though Fang Chongguo always knew that Tang Zheng would give him a surprise from time to time, he did not think that the surprise this time would be so big.
She Mengqin hurriedly put it into her bosom as if she was afraid that Tang Zheng would go back on his word. This caused Fang Shishi to helplessly roll her eyes.
Her mother was sometimes too snobbish, causing her to feel helpless.
Tang Zheng already knew of She Mengqin's nature and did not mind. He then took out a jade bracelet and a jade Guanyin and said: "This jade bracelet is prepared for Auntie and this jade Guanyin is prepared for Uncle."
Now that Tang Zheng had money, the jade items he bought would not be as low end as before. These two jade items were worth several hundred thousand each and even in She Mengqin's eyes, they could be considered a decent gift.
The contrast between Tang Zheng's before and after was too big, causing She Mengqin to be at a loss. She thought to herself that he could not have taken out the gifts earlier. This kind of contrast between before and after really made her heart unable to take it.
Seeing her parents treat these two gifts as normal jade items, Fang Shishi hurriedly explained: "Dad, Mom, you must not look down on these two gifts. Their value is not any less than that bottle of pills."
"Don't joke around. It's only two jade items, how could they be compared to this kind of priceless treasure." She Mengqin disagreed.
"It's true. These two items are not normal jade items. They have been refined using a special method so they have a defensive effect. If someone attacks the wearer, the jade item will automatically cancel out the attack and protect the wearer."
She Mengqin and Fang Chongguo looked at each other in dismay as they both thought of the same thing, the temple's magical equipment.
Many rich people like to go to the temple to have their magical equipment consecrated by a great master. They believe that magical equipment can eliminate disasters, but many people understand that this is only a psychological effect. No one would actually be able to save their life because of this little toy.
Hearing their daughter's words, they could not help but feel that their daughter was exaggerating.
Seeing that they did not believe her, Fang Shishi anxiously said: "This is absolutely true. You must believe it. Tang Zheng spent a great deal of effort to refine these."
"He refined them?"
Tang Zheng smiled and nodded his head.
The two of them were not clear on matters regarding cultivators and did not know Tang Zheng's true identity. Half believing and half doubting, they said: "Okay, we believe you."
"You must remember to wear them on your body at all times." Fang Shishi warned.
Tang Zheng did not explain any further. Although the two of them clearly did not believe in this kind of miraculous use, they placed more of their attention on the small bottle of pills.
She Mengqin asked for the details of how to use the pills and impatiently ran back to her room.
After this interruption, the originally awkward atmosphere became joyous and harmonious. Fang Shishi quietly said to Tang Zheng: "Mom locked the pills in the safe as if she was afraid someone would steal them."
Tang Zheng laughed involuntarily as he did not take these pills seriously and only took them out on a whim.
However, this gave him an idea. Since he wanted to use the King Of Medicine as a gimmick to set up a pharmaceutical company, then these pills could be pushed into the market.
There was no need to doubt the effects of these pills and they would definitely be popular. This was equivalent to having another source of income.
Not long after, a table of delicacies was placed on the table. The few of them sat together and Fang Chongguo took the initiative to ask Tang Zheng to drink a few cups.
Tang Zheng did not refuse and the two of them drank to their heart's content. Fang Chongguo excitedly asked: "Little Zheng, after the previous storm, what do you plan to do in the future?"
"Reinvigorate the flag and drum, become bigger and stronger." Tang Zheng simply said eight words.
Fang Chongguo wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "This will not be easy."
"Where there is a will, there is a way." Tang Zheng faintly smiled, full of confidence. Fang Chongguo was suddenly startled as he was infected by Tang Zheng's strong confidence and could not help but feel ashamed of his own inferiority.
He was implicated by Tang Zheng and during the Dragon Group's storm last time, several of his real estate projects were stopped.
Thus, many of his business partners suddenly withdrew their investments, causing his capital chain to break.
Although he was not bankrupt, he had no choice but to part with his treasures and stop many of his real estate projects.
This year, he did not have a good New Year. When he was alone, he would often frown and sigh.
Now, he did not have a place to raise funds and as time passed, his situation would only worsen. However, he was at his wit's end and could not find a breakthrough.
"What are you planning to do?" Fang Chongguo casually asked.
Tang Zheng did not hide anything and told him his business plan. Gradually, Fang Chongguo's face became more and more serious and finally became shocked. The wine cup in his hand tilted and he did not even notice the wine spilling on his clothes.
