Chapter 527 Just a Gimmick
Just as Xia Liu was enjoying the sea breeze and waves,
Xia Liu suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, he flexed his waist and switched positions with Rose.
Just as Rose thought there would be a storm and lightning ahead.
The result turned out to be...
"You rest well. If you don't understand something about the energy channels, just ask me." After saying that, Xia Liu left.
Yes!
You saw it right!
Xia Liu left!
Rose thought that after Xia Liu turned over, he would fiercely torment her. But instead, he just dropped a comment and left!
She had clearly felt the signs of a super storm approaching, yet he had forcefully endured it!
What an "Oh my God" that was.
This time, Rose didn't complain too much.
Because she genuinely felt Xia Liu's affection for her, which might even be harder than a diamond.
"You can do it, Rose. You'll definitely manage it next time!" Although she didn't know why Xia Liu had suddenly cut off the scene, Rose was not ready to admit defeat.
As long as she still lived here, there would still be opportunities.
Maybe Xia Liu had just been too busy with work recently.
That's how Rose consoled herself...
Back in his room, Xia Liu nearly wanted to slap himself twice.
A perfectly good cabbage, and not just any but one that was tender and white, he had actually pushed it away and not eaten!
After returning to his room, he felt some regret.
Just now, he didn't know what had gotten into him. Thinking about it now, it was really damn awkward.
"Forget it, no next time!" Xia Liu had decided, if Rose dared to treat him that way again,
he definitely wouldn't consider it again, he would just go for it!
Sleep!
Deeply inhaling, Xia Liu skipped his bath and went straight to sleep.
In the early morning, Xia Liu walked out of his room looking refreshed.
Today he wore a suit, as Rose had requested the day before.
Talking about some business district opening ceremony, there would be reporters going there for interviews.
That also meant, it could possibly make a television appearance.
As the head of Osmanthus Group, in such a setting, Xia Liu definitely couldn't dress too casually.
Just as Xia Liu was about to head downstairs, Rose just came out of her room.
Today, she wore a black dress with a small vest over her shoulders, an overwhelming elegance assaulting the senses.
A turn of her head with a smile, coupled with her stunning beauty, probably meant she would be the highlight of the event.
"Good morning, Master!" Upon seeing Xia Liu, Rose immediately greeted him with a delighted smile.
Seeing her smiling face, Xia Liu almost mistakenly thought that nothing had happened between them last night.
"Morning, Little Wei!"
"The opening ceremony starts in over an hour; they are probably waiting for you now. Let's hurry."
"Hmm."
Nodding his head, Xia Liu went out ahead.
And outside the door, a Rolls-Royce was parked, its sharp lines defining the vehicle's exceptional nature.
Its majestic and commanding appearance made it unmatched among cars.
"Aunt Qing!" Seeing the Rolls-Royce, Xia Liu immediately called out.
"You, on such an important day, didn't even call me," Mo Wanqing said somewhat angrily as she rolled down the car window looking at Xia Liu.
"Oh, Aunt Qing, don't be mad. My little venture here, how could I dare to disturb your big business?" Xia Liu replied playfully.
"Little venture? If transforming the county town is just a 'little venture,' then you've made quite a big racket," Mo Wanqing retorted, giving Xia Liu a look.
Hehe…
Xia Liu touched his nose, not sure how to respond when she put it that way.
"By the way, where are Xue'er and the others?" Mo Wanqing looked around and didn't see any other girls except for Rose.
"They went on a trip, they might be back in a few days," Xia Liu explained.
"I see. Well, get in the car, and introduce me to this new wife of yours," Mo Wanqing said with a chuckle, eyeing Rose.
She genuinely admired him; Xia Liu really had a knack, finding one beautiful girl after another.
"Aunt Qing…," Rose took the initiative to speak to Mo Wanqing as soon as she got into the car.
Indeed, she directly called her 'Aunt Qing' just like Xia Liu did.
This address almost made Xia Liu bump his head.
Faced with Mo Wanqing's direct gaze afterward, Xia Liu didn't say anything, letting the two women chat among themselves.
When they arrived at Hejing later, Xia Liu was slightly surprised by the scene before him.
The Eastern District was now essentially a base for the Osmanthus Group.
This commercial street would soon become an iconic place.
Today, the commercial street was officially operational.
At the front of the commercial street, a red ribbon separated the people from the street.
Outside the street, there were at least three hundred spectators.
And the number was still increasing steadily.
Among these people were some from nearby villages, some from the county town, and others who came from the city or other counties.
These people came all the way to Hejing.
Xia Liu knew some of the reasons.
Basically, Sun Tao and others had spent a substantial amount of money and resources to promote the new stores at Hejing.
Additionally, they also placed ads on television and online.
Wherever there was a chance people could see it, there was their advertisement.
Xia Liu watched from the sidelines until he got out of the car and arrived on site; the number of people might have reached five hundred.
And it was still increasing.
"Mili, let me tell you, don't be fooled by those ads. How could this small county town have those luxury shops? They are all fake," Brother Han argued.
Just as Xia Liu was about to participate in the opening activities of the commercial street, suddenly there was some noisy disturbance ahead.
And in a matter of seconds, the noise grew louder.
"Mili, you should listen to Brother Han. How could such a small place have expensive items?" Brother Han insisted.
"Exactly, Mili. Let's just head over to Binlai City. I heard there's a Hermès store there, and they are having a promo, which seems pretty good," another voice added.
"Yeah, what kind of place is this even, calling itself a commercial street with top ten luxury brands, it's all just hype, waiting for fools to fall for it," voiced a third person.
Next to the beautiful girl, a pair seemed to be a couple, continuously talking.
To the far left of the trio, there was a young man in a suit.
This youth was not particularly handsome, and from his current expression, this 'Brother Han' was presumably attempting to woo the beautiful girl.
"Sir, it's not right for you to say that. What do you mean by 'hype'? What do you mean by 'waiting for fools to fall for it'?" Rose couldn't stand it anymore; those brands were personally sought out by Xia Liu.
Besides, many employees of the Osmanthus Group had put their energy into this commercial street over these days.
Rose didn't want to hear or see anyone doubting the commercial street.
"Oh wow, who are you to get all fired up? What if I say this whole street sells fake goods? So what?" the woman from the couple retorted sharply after noticing Rose speaking.
As for Brother Han and the other man, their eyes were already on Rose. She was such a beautiful woman, and they had never encountered such before.
