Chapter 242 Business War is So Cruel
Hong Kong, streets.

The bustling city is filled with tall buildings, the vast roads are bustling with traffic, and under the sunlight, the glass curtain walls reflect brilliant light.

Sakura and her group are currently visiting this world's third largest financial center after London and New York.

Li Meiling dutifully acted as a tour guide, pointing to two towering buildings and introducing them: "The one that looks like a knife is the Bank of China, and the one with a cannon on the roof is the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation."

"This is the heart of Hong Kong's economy and the two banks are competitors."

As Li Meiling introduced, Xia Yu, who was also listening, felt a little happy.

"Look, the cannon on the roof of HSBC is facing the Bank of China Tower. Haha, they are indeed rivals, even the decorations are competing with each other."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Li Meiling rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain: "What a naive idea. HSBC is a well-known company after all. How could it be possible that the cannon decoration was aimed at Bank of China for such a naive reason? It must be a coincidence."

"Hey - what you said is wrong. Do you know what business wars between companies are like?" Xia Yu smiled and raised his eyebrows at Li Meiling.

"What kind?"

Seeing Xia Yu suddenly bring this up, Li Meiling became a little curious, so she replied, "I've seen it in a movie. Is it hiring spies to steal confidential documents, or having hackers on your side crack into the computers of the other company?"

"You said it was a movie, so how could it be real? Real business wars are much more complicated and cruel than this."

"What's that like?"

Facing Li Meiling's increasingly interested eyes, Xia Yu curled the corners of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly became deep and serious. He no longer looked as funny as before, and at first glance, he looked quite oppressive.

Seeing this scene, Li Meiling swallowed subconsciously and held her breath, feeling that she would hear something incredible soon.

"The so-called business war is not a small fight. The boss will hire employees from the rival company..."

"Uh-huh."

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a serious and slow voice: "Secretly pour boiling water on the fortune tree, and then let the fortune tree of the rival company die."

"?"

"In addition to this, there are also cases where you replace the rival's God of Wealth statue with an Ultraman toy, secretly add a lot of salt to the rival's work meals, making the rival's employees die of saltiness, and break the rival's coffee machine, causing the rival's staff to fall asleep at work..."

As he spoke, Xia Yu's face was filled with fear, and he concluded with lingering fear: "These methods are extremely cruel. This is the true appearance of business war. What do you think? It's scary, right?"

Li Meiling: (.-＿-.)
She must be out of her mind to believe that this guy would give her a serious explanation.

"Eh? Don't disbelieve it."

Seeing Li Meiling's speechless expression, Xia Yu smiled and moved closer: "What I said is true, business war is really so cruel, in fact, there are even crueler things that I haven't mentioned yet, such as..."

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, la la la ~"

Li Meiling simply covered her ears with her hands, shook her head, and mumbled something to avoid listening to Xia Yu's nonsense.

Xia Yu: "..."

As for...

After a few seconds, noticing that Xia Yu had stopped talking, Li Meiling put down her hands and called to the others, "Let's go, let's go to the next attraction."

As time passed, they also visited the streets and alleys of Hong Kong.

Li Meiling was also very conscientious as the tour guide for this trip. She kept talking and introducing the history and stories of each tourist attraction. Lascar Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.

In the early days of Hong Kong, many Indian sailors and soldiers liked to gather here to sell goods. The Hong Kong people at that time called these Indians "Moracha", so this street was called Moro Street.

The world has undergone tremendous changes.

Today, Lascar Row has become a flea market. In addition to selling the indispensable antiques, it also sells other sundries. It is a great place for treasure hunting for those who love nostalgic items.

Because the historical features of Mosquera are introduced in travel publications, this street has attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists to visit, shop and take photos.

At this moment, Sakura and her group also visited this scenic spot.

Walking in the center of this street with a strong old atmosphere, you can seem to feel the heaviness of history.

Xia Yu looked at a dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging on the window sill of the shop and couldn't help but fall into fantasy for a moment.

If he were the protagonist of an urban novel, then any jade pendant he bought here might be a legacy left by an immortal.

What followed was an unintentional drip of blood to recognize the master, which activated the cultivation method left in the jade pendant. He then practiced and made rapid progress all the way, eventually becoming famous at a young age. In his twenties, he became a personal bodyguard for a school beauty as agreed with his grandfather.

During this period, the school beauty will dislike him in every way, but in the end she will inevitably fall in love with him.

Then he will get a promotion and a raise, become general manager, become CEO, marry a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of his life.

Think a little excited.

"Student Xia, do you like this jade pendant very much?"

Chiyo, who was still taking pictures of Sakura, suddenly noticed that there was no sound around her. Turning around, she saw Xia Yu staring at a dragon-shaped jade pendant in a daze, as if he was attracted to it.

"Huh? What? No."

Xia Yu, who was still thinking about something, came back to his senses instantly after hearing this. He shook his head and said, "I was just distracted by mistake just now. Although this thing looks very cool, it's just like that. It's just a cheap product."

Although he said so, Xia Yu still glanced at the jade pendant. After all, he had traveled through time. Although he already had the system as a plug-in, maybe buying a jade pendant casually was really a blessing from the immortals?

Although the possibility of this happening is infinitely close to zero, what if?
It was just like when he was in his twenties, he would fantasize before going to bed about what would happen if he really traveled through time. Although he did travel through time after thinking about it, the world he traveled to was different from what he had imagined.

But doesn't this just prove that he actually has the destiny of a protagonist? What if the jade pendant he bought casually at a street stall is really an ancient treasure?
Just when Xia Yu was daydreaming, Zhishi, who was standing by, saw Xia Yu staring at the jade pendant in a daze again. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, then reached out to take off the dragon-shaped jade pendant.

Zhishi's action also brought Xia Yu back to his senses. Before he could open his mouth to stop him, the other party had already walked into the store with the jade pendant.

Not long after, Zhishi came out with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"Here, Xia."

"you……"

Looking at the jade pendant that Zhishi had already bought, Xia Yu felt mixed emotions.

"Xia, I've bought it."

Seeing that Xia Yu did not take it, Zhishi reached out and took Xia Yu's hand, then put the jade pendant he had just bought into Xia Yu's hand, and then manually let him hold it.

After finishing, Zhi Shi smiled and said, "Don't refuse~"
