Liu Xin understood the innuendo in Zhang Bin's words. This scoundrel wanted more than just the occasional hug and kiss; he wanted to take her to bed.

But even for that, they needed a suitable place, and going to a hotel was out of the question—they could easily be seen. Zhang Bin was a celebrity, and Liu Xin herself was well-known. Thanks to her role in marketing Bright Eye Liquid, many people recognized the beautiful woman.

Therefore, their only option was to meet at Liu Xin's home. As a Cultivator, he possessed incredible abilities and could easily sneak into her house without being noticed. However, her current house was old and had poor soundproofing, making it easy for their dates to be overheard. To make matters worse, Auntie Zheng also lived there.

This was why Zhang Bin suggested she build a new, better-quality house—one with good soundproofing to facilitate their trysts.

"Building a house costs at least several hundred thousand. I don't have that much money, so I'm not building one," Liu Xin said coyly, shooting Zhang Bin a look.

Unwilling to let go of her voluptuous waist, Zhang Bin said with a smirk, "You're a major contributor to the company, so of course I should reward you. How about I reward you with a house?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not! I can't accept it. I don't deserve a reward I haven't earned," Liu Xin said, looking nervous and panicked, as if Zhang Bin had frightened her.

"Relax, relax, I was just joking," Zhang Bin said quickly.

"Don't make jokes like that again," Liu Xin said, letting out a long sigh of relief. "Let's go. The prize drawing is about to start."

With that, Zhang Bin and Liu Xin headed to the company's large auditorium, which was actually the cafeteria. It was spacious and now filled with tables laden with delicious dishes, all prepared by the cafeteria's chefs. The food was easily on par with anything from a hotel. Clearly, today was for the company's annual dinner, which would be combined with a prize drawing. A temporary stage had even been set up, and the emcee was Wen Shanshan.

Seeing Zhang Bin and Liu Xin walk in, she led a fervent round of applause. "Welcome our handsome, amazing, and powerful chairman!"

The rest of the employees quickly joined in with enthusiastic applause.

Wenwu Pharma didn't actually have a large workforce, with just over two hundred employees. Half were beautiful women, and the rest were local villagers.

Zhang Bin walked to the table where Liu Ruolan and Xiao Fang were seated and took the head seat, with Liu Ruolan on his left and Xiao Fang on his right. Even Su Man was there, and naturally, Liu Xin sat at this table as well.

Soon, the company's annual meeting began. Liu Ruolan, Xiao Fang, and Su Man each gave a speech, summarizing the company's achievements.

The profits of Wenwu Pharma were staggering, earning over 10 million a day, and this figure was still growing as production increased. The profits from Star Interlanguage School were also incredible, maintaining a steady profit of 10 million RMB per day. As for the Qingshan Hotel Group, their profits were even more impressive. Because the hotel was responsible for selling the breast-enhancing winter melons, its business had been boosted to an all-time high. As a result, its daily profits exceeded 50 million.

With a 49% stake, Zhang Bin's share was over 20 million. Unexpectedly, the Qingshan Hotel Group had become his primary source of income, something he hadn't anticipated at all. This brought Zhang Bin's total daily income to nearly 50 million.

This was a colossal sum. If Zhang Bin were an ordinary person, he might not be able to spend a single year's profit in his entire lifetime. After all, an annual profit of nearly 20 billion RMB was equivalent to about 3 billion USD.

Unfortunately, Zhang Bin was a Cultivator. The Spiritual Medicines he needed for his cultivation were astronomically expensive, and that amount of money would only be enough to buy a few. Therefore, Zhang Bin was naturally unsatisfied with this level of income. Otherwise, he would be nothing more than a spectator at next year's Hero Auction. He had to find new ways to make money and develop new sources of profit.

The employees listening, however, were absolutely stunned, their eyes burning with excitement. Earning tens of billions a year—how incredible was that?

Zhang Bin also gave a speech, encouraging and thanking all the employees for their contributions. He promised raises and rewards and shared his vision for the company's future, aiming to become one of the most powerful and wealthiest companies in the world. He was no longer just a small-town farmer; his horizons and his mindset had broadened considerably. He wasn't as petty and stingy as he used to be.

Then, as everyone ate and drank, the prize drawing began, and the atmosphere grew exceptionally lively. The prizes were incredibly generous. All of them were red envelopes, with the smallest containing 20,000 RMB. Even those who didn't win a main prize received a consolation prize of 10,000 RMB.

Zhang Bin conducted the entire drawing himself. A large wooden box contained cards with every employee's name. He reached in to draw the cards, starting from the fifth prize and working his way up. The fourth prize was 40,000 RMB, the third was 80,000 RMB, the second was 160,000 RMB, and the first prize was 320,000 RMB. Of course, there was only one first prize, but there were ten second prizes.

What everyone anticipated most was the special prize, which was a complete mystery, as they hadn't announced what it was at the beginning.

After all the other prizes had been claimed, it was time to draw for the special prize.

Wen Shanshan took the microphone and said excitedly, "Folks, any guesses what the special prize is? Tee-hee… I'll tell you! If a woman wins, she gets a kiss from the chairman!"

All the female employees cheered, their excitement reaching a fever pitch.

"What if a man wins?" Xu Lao'er asked expectantly.

Zhang Bin snatched the microphone and said with a mischievous grin, "If a man wins, he, of course, gets a passionate kiss from Secretary Wen."

Everyone erupted in hysterical laughter. Now they understood it was just a joke.

"Now, let's draw the prize. Let's see who the lucky employee is," Zhang Bin said with a wicked grin before pulling a card from the box.

Wen Shanshan leaned in and shouted in shock, "Liu Xin!"

"I won the special prize?" Liu Xin stood up, her face a mask of delighted disbelief.

"Get up here and give the chairman a passionate kiss!" Wen Shanshan yelled with a playful laugh.

"Passionate kiss! Passionate kiss!" all the employees began to chant excitedly.

"Everyone, that was just a joke," Zhang Bin announced, holding up a set of keys for all to see. "The real special prize is… a set of keys. These are for Villa No. 008 in Sanhe Villas, and from today on, they belong to Liu Xin."

When Zhang Bin had Ma Rufei build the industrial park, he also had him design a villa district. Each small villa, intended for senior staff, was worth at least one million. Now, he was giving one away as a prize.

Without a doubt, Zhang Bin was cheating. He had used his Divine Sense to locate Liu Xin's name, so it was only natural that he would draw her card.

That way, he could boldly sneak in for their future trysts
