These mountain peaks, the Li River, are drawn so perfectly, fully capturing the scenery of my hometown.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master level?\" Xu Lu was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De didn't really understand what 'master level' meant, so his expression didn't change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Xu said, \"Someone who can paint at this level is one in a million in our country. Just with this skill, if put up for auction, it would fetch at least several hundred thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? How many hundred thousand?\" Zhao De's eyes widened upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, Mr. Xu looked at him and said, \"You heard right, several hundred thousand. Tell me, who painted it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De, realizing his cover was blown, didn't try to hide it any longer because that would only make the other party dislike him more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Mr. Xu, I really like Lu Lu, and indeed the painting wasn't done by me; it was my classmate who helped me do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your classmate?\" Mr. Xu was in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How old could his classmate be to have such profound artistic skill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De nodded, \"He's a good brother of mine, ranked second in our dormitory. We all call him 'Second Brother.' Lu Lu also met him today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He painted this?\" Xu Lu was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows how to paint?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Xu could tell that Zhao De wasn't lying and exclaimed, \"A new generation replaces the old, impressive, very impressive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De, seeing that he had read the room well, quickly said, \"Mr. Xu, if you like it, feel free to take the painting. If it's not enough, I can ask my brother to paint a few more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be very embarrassing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Mr. Xu said this, his eyes and hands never left the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly loved this painting because his hometown was Xilin, and seeing the painting gave him a sense of kinship. Most importantly, it was definitely the work of a famous artist, worth collecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De, \"It's nothing, Mr. Xu. It's just a painting. My brother can whip one up in about fifteen minutes. If you like, I can have him paint a few more some other day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, Xiao Lu, go buy some vegetables and meat later. I will cook lunch myself to treat Xiao Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received such a prized painting, Mr. Xu felt very happy and found Zhao De much more appealing as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De felt elated inside, \"Mr. Xu, isn't that too much trouble? How about we go out to eat? It'll be my treat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Xu insisted, \"How can going out to eat be fitting? It's better to eat at home. Besides, I have some things I need to talk to you about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a laboratory at Jianghai University Main Campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. He, this Qin Hao is definitely a prodigy,\" someone said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This office system seems simple but is extremely profound. We simply can't understand how he managed to achieve this,\" another added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a fact, Mr. He—we have to accept that his academic level might have already surpassed ours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A freshman's academic level surpassed ours?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could hardly believe it, but it was indeed the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he frequently skipped classes. He simply didn't need to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... Stay updated via empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the laboratory, He Tingting was on her way back when she received a call from her father, \"What were you doing yesterday? Little Luo waited for over an hour for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, I had something to do yesterday,\" He Tingting said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Duozhi, \"What could be more important than your lifelong happiness? I know you're averse to these things, but you're almost thirty now, and marriage is something you must start considering. You could have at least met him; maybe there would've been a spark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, Dad,\" He Tingting said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, He Tingting sighed and returned to her office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out the list of entries for the sports event and hesitated as she looked at the events after Qin Hao's name; her pen slowly descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she hadn't known about these matters, she definitely would not have made any changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But knowing Qin Hao's talent, she crossed off some events and kept one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing this, she took out her phone and called Qin Hao, \"Hello, Qin Hao, there's something I need to discuss with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"What is it, Mr. He?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Tingting: \"About the school sports event, I just signed you up for two events, the 100 meters and 200 meters sprints.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao was stunned, \"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Tingting explained, \"The competitions are short, so it won't take up much of your time if you're busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Mr. He.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that's it then.\" After finishing, He Tingting hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiangshan Business World\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of Qin Hao acquiring Tianquan Wine Industry still had not been fully contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Founder of Jiangshan Roasted Duck Food Co., Ltd, Qin Hao, acquired Tianquan Wine Industry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he intending to enter the white liquor industry and compete with Ma Bing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has he lost his mind? What does he have to contend with Dayuan Group?\" someone incredulously said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dayuan Group has been pressuring his companies; is this his counterattack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although Qin Hao is young, he would not do something foolish; he must have a plan. There might be a good show to watch in Jiangshan,\" Deng Zhenyuan remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Bing from Dayuan Group promptly convened a high-level company meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The focus was to guard against Tianquan Wine Industry, or to be more precise, Xinghui Wine Industry, as the new company name would be adopted in the next few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also sent out people to investigate the details of the new winery, wanting to know where Qin Hao's confidence came from to compete with him for market share!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What trump card did he hold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, the market share of the white liquor industry in Shuinan Province has been entirely occupied by major liquor companies, leaving no room for a newly established winery to develop, able only to exist in the gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the news spread, An Linxuan was the first to call Qin Hao, \"Mr. Qin, the news about your acquisition of Tianquan Winery has leaked!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao knew it couldn't be kept secret for long and was unconcerned, \"Don't worry about that, just continue with the preparations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Linxuan replied, \"Mr. Qin, the factory preparations are nearly complete. We can start operations in a couple of days. We've sent out invitations, inviting friends in Jiangshan for the opening. Will you have time to come back on the opening day, Mr. Qin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao responded, \"The school is starting its sports event tomorrow, and I'm quite busy. If I can make it, I'll definitely come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Mr. Qin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Qin Hao placed a call to Kang Youyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's up, Hao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"The Xinghui Winery is about to start operations. I'll send you the secret recipe and the brewing process for Xinghui Wine through the office system later. Then, find a few reliable people to handle these.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, Hao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security measures on mobile phones are not strong enough, and someone could buy call records with money. Even regular online chat software did not give him peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office system he developed, he was fairly confident in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be nearly impossible for outsiders to breach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the information to Kang Youyi, Qin Hao received a text message from Li Moying, \"Master, come and help me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Qin Hao replied in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My stomach hurts, it's so uncomfortable!\" And she sent a pitiful emoji to emphasize her point.\u003C\u002Fp>",1369,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.655Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f7ccd2ca03b2d5d3345b2736a72036875817ba924533e2eae3344d1b947aafe","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-221","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-219",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
