Jiang Xiu got down the bus along with Cheng Lingran. He recalled the group of boys who were waiting for Cheng Lingran at the entrance, "Sis, who were the people we met here before? Your pursuers?"
"It's not as if your Sis is ugly so can't I have people pursuing me?"
What ugly? She was the 2nd prettiest girl on the campus. The reason why she was 2nd isn't that she lost to the other party regarding appearance but rather because her family couldn't compare to the other side's.
How can a girl like that not have pursuers? Only, this matter was indeed strange. Cheng Lingran had studied in university for 3 years yet hadn't made a boyfriend ever. Moreover, she always handled things like this properly and never got tangled with anyone nor did any bad rumors spread outside. In this respect, it was clear that Cheng Lingran was quite good at dealing with matters relating to emotions.
"They aren't any good. If you want to look for a boyfriend, he should at least be at my level, right?"
Cheng Lingran facepalmed her forehead, "There you go again with your narcissism."
"Enough fooling around with you. It's almost time now, so I'm going to the attend the classes. As for you… reflect properly and write a million characters long self-critique for me, or else, see how I will deal with you…"
It was close to October now. The weather had already become cooler now and the occasional chilling wind blowing inside from outside was caused one to shiver. In front of the Amidst Heaven Building's French window, Wang Xintong prepared a steaming-hot cup of coffee and gave it to him, "A person called Jiang Han called, saying he wants to meet me."
"Jiang Hang?"
Jiang Xiu's expression turned colder. He naturally knew who this Jiang Hang was. When he had gone to the Jiang family in his previous life, this cousin had humiliated him the most.
Wang Xintong continued, "We might be in trouble. Pinghai's Jin family is related to the Jiang family and is possibly its banker. We've offended Old Jiang by targeting the Jin family's assets."
Her voice was filled with worry.
Jiang Xiu hadn't told her that his target wasn't the Jin family but instead the Jiang family. He was afraid that it would scare Wang Xintong and make her feel terrified, so he didn't tell her.
"Why does he want to meet you?"
"It might be to get the Golden Brocade Group back."
"Quite savage!"
"We got the Golden Brocade Group through the stock market. Who does Jiang Hang think he is? Does he think we will offer it up if he uses the Jiang family's name? What is his Jiang family? The Emperor's family?"
Wang Xintong lightly knit her brows, "Jiang family is a colossal existence. We don't need to provoke such a powerful enemy to obtain money."
A vicious light flashed through Jiang Xiu's eyes, "He shouldn't hope to even get a cent."
Wang Xintong trembled. This meant that they would drop all pretenses and make a foe out of the Jiang family. Though she believed this wasn't a wise move, she was prepared to stand at Jiang Xiu's side unconditionally, "Alright. I'll do as you say."
Jiang Xiu handed a document to Wang Xintong, "I've taken in an army in the desert. There's an oil deposit at the place they are guarding. These is the data on the intermediary. Buy the equipment and technology required to extract oil along with this person."
Wang Xintong felt as if she was receiving an imperial edict. She felt a chill pass through her body, "What did you say? You have an army in the desert? You even want to extract oil? This… You aren't kidding with me, right?"
She quickly laid down the coffee and took the document.
The conspicuous national emblem was printed on top of it.
"This is…"
Billows surged through Wang Xintong's heart at this moment. You actually got the authorization. Oh my god, oil is always extracted by the country, and there has never been an exception. Just how did you achieve this?
Jiang Xiu played it down, "I was at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse day before yesterday. The Big Boss has already agreed to it."
Wang Xintong felt a warm current surge up to her head, feeling goosebumps all over. This information was too astonishing.
"You can let your father deal with this matter. You will deal with the Jiang family!"
Wang Xintong nodded excitedly, "Okay!" Her gaze towards Jiang Xiu turned into a fanatical one then gradually into a seductive one as she leaned towards him, "I learned a new dance."
"Oh?"
A smile rose up on Jiang Xiu's face.
The French window's curtain suddenly dropped down, and the entire office turned dusky. The faint, warm lighting fell on her body as her shadow danced like a charming fox. Each and every movement was filled with the intent to capture one's soul.
Wang Xintong had an almost perfect figure, a slim and flexible body. She could easily master all kinds of dance movements.
She threw off her shoes then tiptoed on her fair feet; the pink fingernails of her toes glittering under the dim light, blooming out like petals of a flower.
She exerted a little strength and leaped up, causing her bosom to wobble up high in the darkness. Her movements were akin to a noble swan as she crouched down suddenly after that and sat down on the floor, folding her knees closer while her legs remained perfectly straight. Her body leaned forward as she supported herself on the office table, with her beautiful buttocks facing Jiang Xiu…
"Xiu!"
Wang Xintong vented the fanaticism in her heart unknown to anyone through this dance.
Sweat from her forehead slid along her cheeks and dropped on the floor…
Only then did she drop dead tired on the floor. Happiness arising from some kind of joy dyed all her face, her bright pupils losing focus as the fatigue soaked into her body.
Ring-Ring! The cell phone on the office table began to ring.
"Damn it!"
Wang Xintong pouted while cursing and got up to answer the cell. It was a call from the receptionist, "Hmm, there's a problem with the land we were planning to acquire? Oh. Got it."
She took deep breaths while picking up the scattered office wear from the floor and entered the bathroom attached to the office. Soon after, the sounds of water showering came through from inside.
"We had already reached a consensus about three plots, but the other side suddenly changed their mind. If I guessed it correctly, the Jiang family must have used its influence. This must be a warning from Jiang Hang to me."
"This Young Master Jiang acts quite fast."
After roughly 10 minutes, Wang Xintong came out in an orderly dress. Her hair was damp from the shower, and she was drying it with a towel. Her skin seemed exceptionally fair due to the movements she had performed just now and thus covered with an alluring blush.
"Do you want to have dinner with me?"
Wang Xintong had just asked this when the phone began ringing again. She heard a charming voice from the other side, "How is it, Lady Wang? Do you have time tonight? We can eat dinner together."
It was Jiang Hang. His voice was full of confidence. He believed that Wang Xintong absolutely wouldn't refuse him.
"Right. Remember to call your master as well, that Jiang City's Jiang Luoxia who has over half of Jiangnan under his feet. If he doesn't come, don't think your Amidst Heaven can expand in the Imperial Capital."
Wang Xintong said, "I'm sorry but I don't have time tonight. Also, don't call my private number again. If you need anything, first call my receptionist to make an appointment."
She hung the call after saying this.
Jiang Hang was muddled after hearing the beep sound on the other end. Rage filled his mind when he got refused again. He had already acted by suppressing the plots which Amidst Heaven was planning to acquire and believed he had got hold of a weak point. Since they knew the Jiang family's fierceness, he thought they would inevitably concede, but the result was out of his expectations. Wang Xintong treated him like a jumping clown and let him keep hopping.
"Bitch!"
As the ambassador of the Jiang family's 3rd generation children in the business world, he had never got refused like this.
Jiang Xiu smiled faintly, "Your taunting skills haven't weakened at all."
Wang Xintong recalled the scene when she had met Jiang Xiu at the Qian River. She couldn't help but laugh when she remembered that yet she immediately acted coquettishly again, "I have always been successful in every endeavor. God knows why I ran into a star of extinction like you and got eaten by you."
"Only, Jiang family won't give up at this point. Since this method didn't work, they'll use another."
Jiang Xiu smiled in response to her words, "Let them do it. We have plenty of time."
"So what if all the projects in the Imperial Capital are stalled."
Jiang Xiu's ambitions never laid in money. No matter how much money or influence they had, he just needed to point at them to kill them. In his heart, he only wishes to cultivate.
Speaking of cultivation, Jiang Xiu felt very astonished these past two days.
It wasn't that the result of cultivation wasn't good, but instead, it was excellent. He had formed another 4 Divine Regalia in just two days and already reached 67 Divine Regalia.
He believed it was due to the two Longevity Stones, but he found this wasn't the reason. He could faintly feel a trace of spiritual energy in the air. Though it was minuscule, it existed.
