"President Lang, do you have any more of those cigarettes? Give me another pack. I must say, those cigarettes you brought back from Cuba really have a kick—they feel completely different when you smoke them." Liu Tianli was already well acquainted with President Lang and did not mind asking him for cigarettes.
"Haha, what did I tell you? I said my cigarettes were different from the ones in your country, didn't I? I had a friend specially process them—completely different!" President Lang laughed. "But I'm out of that kind now. I didn't bring much this time, only a few cartons. I gave President Liu two, and the two of us have smoked the rest."
"All gone, huh..." Liu Tianli was somewhat disappointed. Over the past few days, however, he had fallen in love with the taste of those specially made cigarettes. A single day without one left his craving unbearable.
"But I have others. You try them too—I guarantee they're just as good, if not better!" As he said this, President Lang turned to the man beside him. "Little Cui, go fetch those cartons of cigarettes from the car—the specially made ones as well."
"Yes, President Lang!" Little Cui nodded and left the private room.
"Your subordinate's name is quite amusing—Cui Mianshi. Sounds just like 'hypnotist.'" Hearing that there were more specially made cigarettes of a similar kind, Liu Tianli was delighted and could not resist a joke.
"Haha!" President Lang chuckled and said nothing.
Before long, Little Cui returned, carrying four or five cartons of cigarettes. He opened one, took out a pack, and handed it to Liu Tianli, then promptly and attentively lit a cigarette for him.
"Good tobacco!" After taking a drag, Liu Tianli could not help but exclaim in admiration. "Refreshing—even better than the last batch. President Lang, you've been holding out on me! Why didn't you bring out the good stuff earlier?"
"Brother Liu, we weren't well acquainted before, were we? The two of us didn't quite hit it off, so I didn't bring it out. Now that we're close, naturally it doesn't matter," President Lang said with a smile.
"Good. I wonder, President Lang—when can we sign our contract?" Liu Tianli asked, seizing the opportune moment to strike while the iron was hot.
"Oh, the contract. That's easily done, easily done. Little Cui, go bring the contract. President Liu and I will sign right now!" President Lang beckoned to Cui Mianshi.
"Yes, President Lang!" Little Cui answered, then went to make preparations.
Liu Tianli had not expected the signing process to go so smoothly. His goodwill toward President Lang surged. When he read over the contract and found every clause entirely fair, he was thoroughly satisfied and with a great flourish of his pen signed the agreement.
To celebrate, President Lang gave Liu Tianli all the remaining cigarettes in the car. And so their pleasant business partnership formally began...

In truth, it was not that Zhang Naipao did not wish to come out—rather, Wei Zhao's sudden strike had injured one of his subordinates, filling his heart with fury and hatred. And his cultivation method, the Chrysanthemum Treasure Manual, was precisely a set of mental formulas that advanced through hatred.
Thus, the events of last night had suddenly made Zhang Naipao sense an opportunity for a breakthrough!
