Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 833 - 836: My Name is Guo Man, What’s Yours?

Hiss!!!

Hearing Guo Man’s words, Shen Ming took several sharp breaths.

Compared to Guo’s Pharmaceutical, Junhui Real Estate was still very young.

The foundations of the two companies were incomparable.

However, Junhui Real Estate had significant potential in the future, but for now, it was no match for Guo’s Pharmaceutical.

And the document in Shen Ming’s hand was precisely a land resource ownership registration form.

Simply put, this plot of land was now officially Guo Man’s.

Shen Ming was furious.

But he dared not show it.

Failing to secure the land in the competition, coupled with offending Guo’s Pharmaceutical now,

would put Junhui Real Estate in a precarious position.

If he had known it would come to this, Shen Ming would never have listened to Liang Chao and come here to push for the property sale. Otherwise, this might spell doom.

"Boss Shen, I trust you came here unintentionally today, and in the future, you won’t meddle with Guo’s Pharmaceutical’s property."

Guo Man said expressionlessly.

"Of course! I came to the wrong place today. My company manager told me the property we’re acquiring is on the eastern side of Jiuzhou City. My apologies, President Guo."

"It’s nothing. It’s my honor to help you find your way,"

Guo Man remarked coldly, almost mockingly.

The sting of an unspoken slap hurts the most.

Shen Ming felt it.

Today, his calculations were off.

If he had managed to secure the orphanage’s land before Guo Man, he wouldn’t have been haunted by this regret.

But now, the painful reality was undeniable.

There was nothing he could do.

Helpless, he slunk away in defeat.

After the construction crew left, Song Dan and the orphanage teachers gathered around Guo Man to express their gratitude.

"President Guo, thank you for stepping in to resolve the matter today."

Previously, Xilu had approached Song Dan and reached a collaborative agreement.

Regarding the land acquisition, Guo’s Pharmaceutical had committed to taking action, provided Song Dan signed off.

Ultimately, Guo’s Pharmaceutical completed the land purchase.

Everything had been tied up smoothly.

"It’s the least I can do. Director Song, this is the certificate of land ownership. You should hold onto it. No one will dare cause trouble at the orphanage again."

Guo Man handed the folder to Song Dan.

Originally, the orphanage’s land was passed down from Song Dan’s ancestors, but it was later acquired by Harbor City’s officials to establish the orphanage.

Now, the land was returned to its rightful owner—albeit with conditions stating that it could only ever serve as an orphanage.

If changes were desired, they would require approval from higher authorities, along with Guo Man’s consent.

"I don’t need the certificate. From now on, the orphanage belongs under Guo’s Pharmaceutical’s name. I believe it will thrive under your care."

"Guo’s Pharmaceutical is just a namesake owner. The true proprietor of this land is you, Director Song. Go ahead, take it."

"This…"

Song Dan was stunned; unexpectedly, Guo Man decided to return the land ownership to him... frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Director Song, no need to be so formal. This is my gift to you and the children. Under your care, I know they’ll grow healthier and happier."

"Thank you, President Guo, thank you…"

Song Dan was at a loss for words—overwhelmed by gratitude and the determination to devote even more time and energy to helping those adorable children in the future.

After exchanging pleasantries, Song Dan and the teachers returned inside.

Luckily, the children were napping earlier and hadn’t witnessed the commotion at the gate.

Otherwise, it might have sparked unnecessary worries among them.

Taking a quick glance at Guo Man, Xia Liu turned, ready to leave.

But just then, a pleasant voice came from behind: "Hey, could you wait a moment?"

"You’re talking to me?"

Xia Liu’s body stiffened briefly as he turned slowly to face Guo Man.

"Yes, I owe you an apology, and I need to thank you. If it hadn’t been for me the last time, the orphanage wouldn’t have faced a crisis. If you hadn’t stepped in, things might’ve turned out poorly. Thank you."

"There’s no need to thank me; it’s what I should do. You’ve handled everything perfectly today, solving the orphanage’s issue. Now I can stop worrying."

Xia Liu shook his head bitterly.

"Alright, I hope I didn’t disturb you. My name is Guo Man. May I know yours?"

Guo Man let out a faint smile before extending her hand toward Xia Liu.

"Xia Liu."

Xia Liu also extended his hand, but instead of clasping hers, he quickly withdrew after the briefest touch, as if his fingers barely grazed hers.

"Apologies, my hands are dirty. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head off."

Before Guo Man could respond, Xia Liu had already turned and walked away.

"Xia Liu, will we meet again?"

Hearing Guo Man’s unusually candid question, Xia Liu paused in his tracks.

"Perhaps not. We’re from different worlds…"

This time, Xia Liu didn’t linger. He finished speaking and left swiftly.

Watching his retreating figure, which seemed a mix of melancholy and bashfulness, Guo Man smiled knowingly.

This subtle smile sent chills down Xia Liu’s spine, even as he spread his Divine Sense to sense his surroundings.

Never mind Xilu and Lina.

It was undoubtedly the first time they had seen Guo Man smile so cheerfully.

"We’ll meet again someday, Xia Liu. And besides, on Earth, how can you say we’re from different worlds?"

After murmuring to herself, Guo Man entered the orphanage to check on the lovable, well-behaved children.

"Holy crap! Turns out acting aloof gets the ladies’ attention, even someone like Guo Man can’t resist."

Back in his rented apartment, Xia Liu was overjoyed.

In the brief instant he turned away, his heart begged: Speak to me, Guo Man, say something!

Well, the result proved his method worked—Guo Man was paying close attention to him now.

Maybe soon, he could gain her trust and join her in the Guo Family.

The Youth Preserving Pill—he absolutely had to seize it!

Yet something puzzled Xia Liu. Over the following days, Guo Man hadn’t once met him at the company.

Damn, could she have been scared off by his cold demeanor?

As of today, it had been over twenty days since Xia Liu arrived in Harbor City, and he still hadn’t encountered Guo Man at the company.

Out of concern that Guo Man might discern his true motives, Xia Liu spent his off-hours posting missing person flyers and occasionally visiting the orphanage.

Since Guo Man purchased the orphanage’s land, however, he hadn’t set foot inside.

Today was Xia Liu’s twenty-eighth day in Harbor City. In the morning, he arrived at the company with Zhao Qian.

After changing into his uniform, he went to the front gate to carry out his duty.

Entering the company required a staff badge. If someone was a visitor, they needed to be accompanied or provide proper documents.

Only if they met these entry requirements could security guards grant access to the company.

While Xia Liu was on duty, he encountered a woman who neither wore a staff badge nor carried any documentation.

"I’m sorry, please show some identification."

This was Xia Liu’s second reminder.

Wearing a baseball cap low over his face, he didn’t raise his head to look at the woman.

But with his Divine Sense, he already studied her appearance in detail.

Guo Man!

She was finally going to meet him at the company!

The time was about nine o’clock, past the general rush of employees clocking in.

Thus, few people noticed the amusing event unfolding at the gate…
