Chapter 263: Teacher Bai's Alluring Body Scent

"Boss Xu's vision truly isn't comparable to ours."

"Before Teacher Liu found me, I hadn't thought I could do business."

Bai Shuanglu immediately showed an admiring expression and said.

Xu Yuexin looked at Bai Shuanglu and felt she wasn't flattering him, but being sincere.

"Actually, I was forced out as well."

"When I first returned to the city, I was mining coal; if I had gotten a decent job, I might not have taken this path."

Xu Yuexin modestly asked, "Teacher Bai, do you have any thoughts on the record distribution business?"

"No, I'm just a small Shareholder; the direction will definitely be decided by you and Teacher Liu."

Bai Shuanglu humbly replied.

"But it's fine to speak up; a Shareholder is still a Shareholder, after all."

"Our company's management still needs to gather diverse ideas."

Xu Yuexin readily agreed.

"Then let me think now."

Bai Shuanglu said, entering into thought.

Xu Yuexin sat opposite her and smiled once to encourage her.

"Boss Xu, I think once we become stronger in the future, we could consider opening our own retail stores."

After pondering for a moment, Bai Shuanglu cautiously suggested, "Retail stores are the final link in the entire sales channel and also the most profitable one."

"If we can open a few stores in high‑traffic areas, it should boost profit considerably."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Anything else?"

Xu Yuexin acknowledged.

What Bai Shuanglu mentioned was, in fact, self‑operated stores.

That is indeed quite necessary; running excellent directly‑operated stores can not only increase sales but also enhance the company's reputation.

"I can't think of anything else for now..."

Bai Shuanglu shook her head.

Xu Yuexin thought she might not truly have run out of ideas, since her father is an insider in this field.

She may simply be constrained by her status as a Shareholder and limited past interactions, so she doesn't readily offer ideas.

That's fine too.

Xu Yuexin liked women who knew when to advance and retreat.

"Alright, let's do it that way."

"Later I'll discuss your suggestion with Teacher Liu and try to implement it quickly."

"Okay, I hope it will help our business."

A faint smile appeared on Bai Shuanglu's face as she said.

Outside, the snow fell heavier, and the room quickly grew as cold as an ice cellar.

After saying goodbye to Bai Shuanglu, Xu Yuexin returned to his bedroom to sleep and soon fell asleep.

He wasn't awakened until midnight by Bai Shuanglu's scream from the next bedroom.

"My God, what is this!"

Bai Shuanglu's voice was extremely panicked, as if she had seen something extraordinary.

Startled awake, Xu Yuexin didn't even bother putting on his coat; still in his shirt and Underpants, he rushed out of the secondary bedroom straight to the master bedroom.

While passing the hall, he grabbed a broom to use as an improvised weapon.

"Bang."

Kicking open the master bedroom door, Xu Yuexin, by candlelight, saw Bai Shuanglu hugging herself against the headboard, trembling, her face almost without color.

Outside the window was a basin‑sized black head, licking the windowpane repeatedly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xu Yuexin looked at the panicked Bai Shuanglu and said.

Bai Shuanglu weakly nodded, still shaking all over: "What… what is this thing?"

"It should be a wolf."

Without a word after speaking, Xu Yuexin lunged forward, thrusting the broom hard at the black head's nose.

Based on his experience, a dog's nose is a vulnerable spot, so a wolf's nose should be the same.

"Awooo!"

Just as Xu Yuexin expected, the wolf outside let out a mournful howl after his nose was jabbed and retreated from the windowsill.

"You go to the hall right away, I'll go out and deal with it."

Xu Yuexin, fearing the howl would attract more wolves, urged Bai Shuanglu, "Okay, okay."

Bai Shuanglu quickly complied, climbed out of bed, and draped her coat over the small strap and left.

When Bai Shuanglu got up, Xu Yuexin saw her pair of peaks.

Hmm, a tall, perfectly formed young woman's figure.

"Do you have a long stick at home?"

As Bai Shuanglu passed by him, Xu Yuexin asked.

"Yes, in the hall."

Holding a candle, Bai Shuanglu said to Xu Yuexin.

She led Xu Yuexin to the hall, to a corner.

"Is this one long enough?"

"It's enough."

Xu Yuexin picked up the roughly two‑meter‑long, arm‑thick stick and said.

If you use a kitchen knife to deal with a wolf, it means entering close combat, and the chance of being bitten is high.

A momentary lapse and a bite to a vital spot could be fatal in a place short of doctors and medicine.

With a stick, as long as one strike can be lethal, there is no risk of being bitten.

Even without especially agile footwork, a grown man's strength can end a wolf with three or five swings of the stick.

After stepping outside, Xu Yuexin saw a dog‑like figure circling in the courtyard.

Only this creature was much larger than a dog, its eyes glowed green, and its fur was bristling.

"Whu…"

Seeing Xu Yuexin, the wolf stepped back two paces and let out a threatening low growl.

"Heya!"

Xu Yuexin shouted loudly, swung the stick and lunged forward in a single stride, smashing the wolf's head.

"Dong" with a sound, a precise hit! It felt like smashing a lump of iron, shaking Xu Yuexin's hand until it went numb.

"Awo!"

Under the heavy blow, the wolf fell straight onto the ground, only its limbs still twitching.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Unsure, Xu Yuexin struck the wolf's head twice more, not feeling at ease until it stopped moving completely.

At that moment, a pool of black blood spilled from the wolf's head, staining the snow red.

Xu Yuexin rested a hand on the stick, feeling a sour numbness in his arm.

No wonder the elders say wolves have copper heads and iron tails; the recoil from a strike makes the hand ache.

"Wolf... is it dead?"

At that moment, Bai Shuanglu ran to the doorway, asking fearfully.

"It's dead dead, let's deal with it tomorrow morning."

Xu Yuexin, still gripping the stick with both hands, returned to her side and said, "I'm not hurt; you don't need to worry."

"Hmm, good that you're not hurt…"

Bai Shuanglu let out a long sigh, saying, her eyes still flickering with lingering fear.

Xu Yuexin, by the moonlight reflected off the snow, saw that her shoulders were still trembling.

Without a word, he let the stick clatter to the ground and lifted Bai Shuanglu into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over."

"You're a woman living alone in the village; it's not safe. You should go back to the city to live."

Xu Yuexin repeatedly stroked Bai Shuanglu's snow‑white, smooth, fragrant shoulders, breathing in the alluring scent she exuded.

"Wuwuwu…"

Hearing Xu Yuexin's comfort, Bai Shuanglu began to cry, her shoulders twitching uncontrollably.

"It's all over; there will be no such danger again."

Xu Yuexin said patiently, comforting her.

"No… I… I'm afraid my ex‑husband will come looking for me again."

Bai Shuanglu sobbed, "I really don't want to embarrass myself again."

"Wuwuwu…"
