Jiang Xu, who was already prepared, paused at Mei Jijiâs words, âWhat do you mean by âa little something extraâ?â
âThereâs a girl in your company named Avi, quite nice,â Mei Jiji licked his tongue, âIf I win, you set up a dinner for me to eat with her.
This woman is so aloof, Iâve asked her out many times but she never agrees.
If I lose, Iâll give you the girlfriend Iâve been talking to recently.â
Jiang Xuâs eyelids slightly lifted, âFine, but if you lose, you donât have to give me the woman, Iâm not interested.â
Mei Jiji bumped his fists together, âGood, come on, let me show you my strength!â
Three minutes later, Mei Jiji lay on the ground, his eyes lifelessly staring at the sky.
Arenât you supposed to be some kind of boxing king, bro?
His strength, though not professional level, should be top tier among amateurs, right?
He had even planned to go easy on Jiang Xu.
Who knew, heâd be stunned right from the start.
Jiang Xuâs skills werenât particularly outstanding, but he was powerful.
As the saying goes, overwhelming force can overcome all skill.
In the face of absolute power, all the skill and speed in the world are useless.
Oh, of course, except for when cheating.
Jiang Xu, however, was quite surprised.
Dammit.
Made such a big fuss, thought you were strong or something.
And this is it?
Mei Jiji quickly stood up from the ground, his face struggling to maintain dignity, âI just hurt my back a moment ago, that wasnât my true strength, letâs go again!â
Jiang Xu kindly reminded, âDonât you want to rest a bit?â
âNo need, come on, fight to the death!â
Mei Jiji, like a wounded beast, charged at Jiang Xu with a ferocious and desperate posture.
A minute later, he was stepped on by Jiang Xu like a dead dog, his face flushed red, âBastard, get your foot off me, Iâm a member of the Mei Family, you canât humiliate me like this!â
Jiang Xu didnât actually enjoy humiliating people.
However, given the Mei Familyâs prior actions, if Jiang Xu appeared too indifferent, it would make the people behind the Mei Family suspicious.
So, poor Mei Jiji had to suffer.
Believing he would understand.
Thinking this, Jiang Xu lifted his foot and stomped heavily on Mei Jijiâs chest several times.
Mei Jiji almost didnât catch his breath.
His bodyguards hurried over, helping him up.
Jiang Xu said indifferently, âYou lost, sign the paper, get lost.â
Mei Jijiâs expression shifted unpredictably, then he said coldly, âImpossible, it doesnât count, letâs go again!â
âCanât accept defeat?â Jiang Xu mocked, âIn that case, just get lost.â
Mei Jijiâs acting was quite impressive, not a single flaw to be seen.
If he were too eager to sign after losing, that would be suspicious.
After all, itâs about shares worth two billion.
And everything here was being transmitted back to somewhere in real time.
Not long after Mei Jiji had declared he wouldnât accept the loss, his phone rang.
Mei Jiji saw the caller ID, his face changed.
He hurried to a corner to answer the call.
Then he was seen constantly changing his expression, gesturing with his hands, not knowing what he was saying.
In the end, Mei Jiji despondently lowered his hand, responded with a yes, waited for the other party to hang up, then put his phone away.
He walked up to Jiang Xu with a heavy step, his teeth clenched in anger, âIâll sign!â
âHeh.â Jiang Xu chuckled coldly with an indifferent smirk.
Without guessing, it could be assumed that the person who had called Mei Jiji was definitely the mastermind behind him.
Telling him to sign could mean two things.
One was that Mei Jiji had acted shamelessly, making them lose face.
Another possibility was that there was some other major move waiting for him.
Jiang Xu was more inclined to believe the second option.
Having obtained the contract, Jiang Xu said coldly, âRemove all the staff from that company and I will immediately send someone to take over.â
After finishing his statement, he left, surrounded by several bodyguards.
He hadnât gone far when Jiang Xu stopped, turned his head to look at Mei Jiji, whose complexion was extremely ugly, and said, âBy the way, bring your woman along as well.
Although I donât want her, she might be a good reward for my subordinates.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mei Jiji was beside himself with rage, âYou bastard!â
Jiang Xu didnât pay him any more attention and left the rooftop.
It had just dawned on Jiang Xu that the girlfriend mentioned by Mei Jiji must have been meant to relay a message.
Without saying that, there would have been no way to bring her over.
After Jiang Xu had gone down, Mei Jiji knelt before one of the cameras and kowtowed forcefully, âIâm sorry, Iâm useless, Iâve let down your expectations.â
As his forehead touched the ground, a bloodthirsty gleam flitted across Mei Jijiâs eyes.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xu met Mei Jijiâs so-called girlfriend in his office.
Her name was Mei Du.
She belonged to a collateral branch of the Mei Family, and after several generations, had no blood relation to the main family.
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Xu found it a bit hard to keep his composure.
The names of this familyâs members were indeed unique, one after another.
Mei Du, upon seeing Jiang Xu, didnât say a word and handed him a document.
Jiang Xu carefully read it through.
If he signed this contract, the company he had just acquired would still be under Mei Jijiâs control.
However, it would also provide Jiang Xu an annual management fee of one billion.
This money would come through an overseas account.
Jiang Xu signed without hesitation.
The Mei Family had shown sufficient sincerity, so he would not focus solely on the immediate benefits and covet the two billion excessively.
There were still many opportunities to make money in the future.
The most important⦠was to deal with the person behind the Mei Familyâ¦
Then, Jiang Xu said to Mei Du, âI will arrange a place for you to stay, do not leave without my permission.
Also, if any of my men come to you⦠remember to serve them well.â
He intended to play the role to the hilt.
Besides, this woman had made her role clear from the moment she entered.
She was a secret agent, trained by the Mei Family; there was no question of her loyalty.
Mei Du nodded and left.
Time to leave work.
When he got home, only An Nuonuo was there.
Jiang Xu asked in surprise, âWhere are uncle and auntie, my parents?
Usually, by this time, they wouldâve already been here, waiting to have dinner with me.â
âTheyâre having hotpot at my parentsâ place,â An Nuonuo said softly, âThey said they canât come over every day, and that we should have some private space.â
Jiang Xu couldnât help but laugh, then suddenly scooped her up in his arms, âIn that case, we canât let their good intentions go to waste.â
An Nuonuo said with a hint of shyness, âCan we have dinner first~â
Jiang Xu said, âSure thing, but you need to call me by a cute name first.â
An Nuonuo hesitated, âBrother?â
Jiang Xu shook his head, âNo, too common. It needs to be something more unique.â
âThen what else?â asked An Nuonuo, puzzled.
This girl, in some respects, was still quite lacking in knowledge.
âAhem,â Jiang Xu cleared his throat and looked steadily at her, âCould you, maybe, call me⦠you know⦠âMasterââ¦?â
An Nuonuo: â???â
