Calling in Backup

After hanging up the phone, Si Yun looked at the email address and the set of numbers in her hand, Elder Qin's words flashing through her mind.

"This is Ms. Cheng, the President of the Asia region for a high-end luxury brand. She doesn't just manage a luxury brand; she builds them. She holds an extremely prestigious position in the global luxury sphere, and at European fashion shows, she is always among the top invited guests. Her network of connections is exceptionally vast. I recall that Su embroidery pieces have appeared in Europe before, and they most likely went through her hands. So, you should try contacting her."

"You have such connections?"

"Not my connections, but an opportunity I happened to stumble upon to get her number. Use it well. When you introduce yourself, say Luo Xiuyun's wom—"

This made Qin Feng stare at the painting for a very, very long time, finding that certain subtle changes always seemed to occur in some part of it.

However, the corporate Party secretary and the trade union chairman of the company held no real power and received no additional salary. They were purely ornamental figures, not even qualifying as part-time positions, which was the norm for most private enterprises.

Seeing this, Chen Yun and Chen Yin turned pale at the same time, a trace of desolation flashing in their eyes.

Upon reaching the altar, they followed the person of high status in performing the kneeling rituals to worship the moon and pray for blessings. Known as "worshipping the moon," this ritual was performed to pray for favorable weather in the coming year and peace and prosperity for the nation.

For Fang Bu悔, the absolute last thing he should have done was to tolerate that fellow making a move against him.

Having been mercilessly "enslaved" by Wu Zhiqiuchu all afternoon, I now felt a sympathetic pain in my head instinctively at the sound of this call. I turned over and pulled the quilt over my head.

Da Shuang, who had been wailing the night before, returned to normal the next day, though her eye sockets were still slightly red. Apart from that, she was entirely fine, and many things she even did better than before.

"Don't watch television while eating; it's bad for your stomach." Lü Chixuan, sipping his porridge, seemed hardly qualified to lecture Jin Zheng, especially considering that just a few weeks ago, Lü Chixuan had been eating bread while watching the news of Kim Ji-eun's mixed martial arts match.

A sudden sense of desolation arose in my heart, and I scrambled up using both hands and feet, but a pair of slender hands reached out just in time.

The middle-aged man, named Hu Liwei, had spent his early years involved with triads and was highly regarded by Boss Chen. Later, they both entered the film industry together. He was talented and had composed many renowned lyrics and melodies, making him a household name among industry insiders.

"My Master has bestowed kindness upon this disciple as heavy as a mountain; this disciple dares not harbor any further extravagant hopes!" Bai Yan whispered, her lowered gaze carrying an inscrutable expression.

Successive years of war and chaos, coupled with incessant natural disasters—especially the frequent breaching of the Yellow River—rendered countless citizens displaced and homeless.

Moro Baiqi had already been heavily wounded in that terrifying explosion, his physical form extremely blurred and weak. At this moment, as Anyuan Ni reached out, he suddenly felt his body grow exceptionally heavy, and his consciousness seemed on the verge of shattering. This terrified him to the core, as it felt less like the means of someone from this realm and more like a lethal technique originating from the void-realm consciousness.

Jade Deity shook her head. Looking at these people, each of them looking full of vigor and spirit, she guessed they had been feeling stifled staying in lately. Now given a rare opportunity to showcase their talents, not a single one of them had any intention of sleeping. As for herself, she was beginning to feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Having eaten her fill and quenched her thirst, Da Yu'er leaned against Liu Qingshan's embrace, peeling a bag of crispy orchid beans, tossing them into her mouth one by one. Having accompanied Liu Qingshan out for over a month now, she had been completely captivated, almost forgetting their respective identities.

At this moment, Xu Xiao had already stepped forward, slightly calming his breath, before raising his hand and flicking out three copper coins in the shape of the character "pin" (品)! They struck squarely at a certain spot in midair.

Even if they didn't want to join, they would inevitably be implicated and forced to join. After all, if they refused to join, the only possible outcome was annihilation.

The North Palace was the temporary residence of the Jade Deity, and also the most authoritative palace within the imperial palace at present. As the first enfeoffed palace master, even with the addition of the West Palace's Consort Yu Yan now, no other palace could compare to the North Palace.

He still had at least several high-grade magical instruments like the Qimen Flying Armor on his person. In terms of power, they were only stronger, not weaker, than this equipment. There was simply no need to use these items anymore.

When Li Dingguo was escorted away, another two days passed before Qin Liangyu and her forces began dispatching troops from Chengdu in all directions, dividing their forces to pacify other regions of Sichuan and mop up the remnant forces of Zhang Xianzhong.

That black ape rolled directly down from the cliff, crashing heavily onto the roof of a car.

If he returned to school, he would probably only drift further and further away from the increasingly powerful Wang Yu. Considering this situation, Kimimaro casually tossed a bone spear, finally adopting a serious attitude.

This house was not like those other houses near the market and the Return Plaza, which easily rose to a dozen stories or more.

Growing weaker only made her even stronger. Hard scales appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face—to be precise, her entire body was covered with fine scales. This was the state Zi Ji entered when going into battle; if Di Tian failed to provide a reasonable explanation next, or offered no explanation at all, she would launch an attack on Mai Ye without the slightest hesitation.

Hu Luoma's intention to recruit him was already obvious, but still, he couldn't be allowed to get his way too easily.

"I just don't know why General Li happens to be here today." Since Li Jin had not allowed A Li to inform her, she would simply pretend not to know.

After completely absorbing the life force of Alba and his demon legion, Di Tian stepped through that door, which had once again become solid, and subsequently vanished from the Douluo Continent.

Although the houses were built quite scattered, and once a location was chosen it could not be changed, it was, after all, the place where they would live for a long time to come, and the very first home that everyone truly owned by themselves. Therefore, everyone approached the matter with extreme caution.

Rong Tian, who had been sitting in front of the computer anxiously wishing to smoke, licked his back teeth upon hearing this and remained silent.

Entering the room, Wang Yu hardened his heart, took out Uchiha Fuyu's three-tomoe Sharingan, controlled its still-living cells, and integrated them into his own eye socket.

Hanging up the call, she looked over the files Zero had sent. After pondering for a long time, Fang Qinglan felt a slight sense of discouragement.
