Miracle Farmer with Special Abilities-Chapter 563 - 0: Meeting Father Su, Stepping on a Rival_1
That day, the villagers of Sanchahe Village were ecstatic. They had drunk their fill, with each person consuming about two pounds of liquor. Ma Rufei, Chen Chaoyue, and Zhang Haijun drank even more than the rest. Nearly everyone was drunk, lying in bed and snoring heavily.
However, Zuixian Liquor was quite extraordinary. One wouldn't vomit or even feel uncomfortable after getting drunk from it. It was so effective that it could be used to treat insomnia and other ailments. In any case, it was incredibly beneficial for one's health.
That very day, Su Man had her subordinates transport several thousand kilograms of the fine liquor away. The fish, winter melons, and vegetables were, of course, picked up daily.
Zhang Bin also announced the numerous benefits of Zuixian Liquor and Longevity Fish on the Wenwu Pharma website, listing their sales channels. The products were sold exclusively at the Qingshan International Hotel. And yes, Zhang Bin had indeed named the fish he raised "Longevity Fish."
Wenwu Pharmaceutical Group now enjoyed a massive global reputation. After all, its Bright Eye Liquid, Weight Loss Pills, Breast-Enhancing Winter Melons, and the Interstellar Language Online School were all incredibly famous. So, even though it was just a simple announcement on their website, the news quickly became an online headline. Netizens exploded with excitement, furiously creating posts to celebrate the debut of the world's finest liquor, Zuixian, and the world's greatest delicacy.
That evening, Zhang Bin drove straight to Su Man's villa in the East Lake Residence. He appeared empty-handed, of course, as his gifts were safely stored in his Space Ring.
To Zhang Bin's surprise, the Su family had visitors. As Su Man welcomed him, she shot him meaningful glances and whispered, "Be careful. We have guests. It's a friend of my dad's, and it looks like he's here to play matchmaker."
"What? Matchmaking?" Zhang Bin was stunned, and a sense of foreboding welled up inside him.
He had learned from Su Man, and also had Tutu investigate, that Father Su was a peculiar and difficult man. His nickname was even "Su Trouble." Of course, he was also incredibly cunning and smart, which was how he had managed to build such a massive family fortune from scratch. He had several female confidantes, and precisely because of this, he was adamantly against Su Man having any kind of relationship with a married man or even one who already had a girlfriend.
Su Man had tried to test the waters a few times, but the outlook was grim. That was why she didn't dare to reveal her feelings for Zhang Bin and instead hoped that he could be the one to persuade her father.
Zhang Bin put on an indifferent facade, but in reality, he was bracing himself as he walked inside.
Father Su was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He looked to be in his fifties, with salt-and-pepper hair. His face was stern, radiating a natural air of authority. As a super-rich tycoon, his presence was bound to be extraordinary.
There were two guests, one old and one young. The elder seemed unremarkable, an ordinary man, but he exuded a potent aura of wealth. The youth, however, was anything but ordinary. He was a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Liquid Phase.
He appeared to be only two years or so older than Zhang Bin. Clearly, this young man was another rare cultivation genius, on par with Han Chun'er, if not superior to her. After all, Zhang Bin had no idea when this youth had reached the Great Perfection of the Liquid Phase; it could have been three or even five years ago. He was likely just consolidating his foundation now, waiting for the right moment to break through to the Golden Core Realm. The youth's background was clearly anything but simple.
The appearance of such a figure in the Su family home told Zhang Bin that trouble had arrived.
Seeing Su Man bring Zhang Bin inside, Father Su's face lit up with joy. He stood and said politely, "Zhang Bin, your visit truly brightens our humble home. Please, have a seat. Allow me to introduce you. This is my good friend, Changsun Guangxi, the chairman of Haotian Company, and this is his son, Changsun Hongxuan."
Zhang Bin was secretly astonished. Haotian Company was one of the leading enterprises in the country, with diversified interests in numerous industries, including food and beverage, real estate, pharmaceuticals, electronics, automobiles, steel, and mining. Haotian Real Estate alone was the top real estate company in all of China. Their assets were so vast as to be terrifying.
Without a doubt, Changsun Guangxi was the wealthiest man in China. The man was so famous that it was nearly impossible to find someone who hadn't heard of him.
Although Zhang Bin had made a lot of money himself, it was nothing compared to the wealth of Haotian Company.
After all, the Zhangsun Clan was renowned, with a history stretching back thousands of years. They had been a titan of wealth for generations, accumulating a fortune of terrifying proportions. Moreover, the Zhangsun Clan held a colossal secret, which was why they had remained unshakable even through eras of war and strife. Dynasties rose and fell, but the Zhangsun Clan was never affected. In fact, the clan's influence could be seen behind multiple changes in dynasties throughout history.
"I've long admired you..." They exchanged cordial pleasantries.
Changsun Hongxuan's face was full of arrogance, and his voice was cold and indifferent. He clearly didn't take Zhang Bin seriously in the slightest. Given his family's influence and wealth, not to mention his own terrifying talent, it would have been strange if he weren't proud.
"Zhang Bin, your timing is perfect," Father Su said with a smile. "We were just discussing Su Man's marriage, so you can offer your opinion as well. My old friend has brought his son here to propose, and it's a difficult offer to refuse. Changsun Hongxuan is twenty-two this year, three years younger than Su Man. Other than that, everything is excellent. I'm quite satisfied."
"They say a wife three years older brings a pile of gold. What concerns could you have, old friend?" Changsun Guangxi said with a confident smile, certain that Father Su would agree. "You know my son's character. He would never mistreat Su Man."
In his mind, there was no young man in the world more outstanding than his son, Changsun Hongxuan. And there was no family in China more powerful than their Zhangsun Clan.
Listening from the side, the color drained from Su Man's face.
Zhang Bin's expression turned grim. If he didn't have any girlfriends, he would have dared to declare his love for Su Man, confident he could win her over. But he did have girlfriends, while his rival had none and came from such a stellar background. How could he possibly compete?
Still, he didn't panic. After all, he had faced countless dangers and difficulties over the past year.
He fixed his sharp gaze on Changsun Hongxuan and said coolly, "Young Master Changsun is indeed an outstanding talent. However, as a cultivator with a long lifespan, shouldn't you find a fellow cultivator for a partner, rather than an ordinary mortal?"
"Who says a cultivator can't marry an ordinary person?" Changsun Hongxuan retorted coldly. "You're a cultivator, Zhang Bin, yet you have two ordinary women as girlfriends, don't you?"
The words were a sharp dig, obviously referring to Liu Ruolan and Xiao Fang. It was a classic case of using a man's own words against him, a move intended to leave Zhang Bin speechless and flushed with shame.
Su Man grew anxious. The two older men watched with great interest, enjoying the debate between the two young supreme geniuses.
Zhang Bin, however, remained perfectly calm. An odd smile even appeared on his face as he stated proudly, "You and I are different. I can marry ordinary women. You can't."
Changsun Hongxuan's face turned ashen. He sneered, "Then I'd like to hear your explanation. How are we different? Why can you marry ordinary women, while I cannot?"
