Chapter 821: Chapter 821: 821: Crafty All Over

An Nuonuo often couldn’t understand why Jiang Xu was so energetic.

After babbling nonstop for an hour or so, she got up and went to the restroom.

She walked slowly, drip-drip~drip-drip~

The next day, Jiang Xu arrived at Nuomi Group on time.

Soon, Bai Zhou was brought into Jiang Xu’s office.

Compared to her meticulous attire yesterday, today she looked quite casual.

Jeans, a pink T-shirt, canvas shoes, hair casually tied in a ponytail, and no makeup on her face.

She looked just like a college student who had just graduated.

However, the way Bai Zhou looked at Jiang Xu, it was as if she wanted to devour him alive.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bai Zhou was brought over by the Administrative Supervisor.

She said to Jiang Xu, “Mr. Jiang, this Ms. Bai Zhou is your new secretary.”

“Hmm,” Jiang Xu nodded his head, “you can go out now.”

“Bang!”

When the room was left with just the two of them.

Bai Zhou walked up to Jiang Xu’s desk and slammed her palms down forcefully.

Her eyes blazed with fury, “Despicable, shameless, lowly, lowlife, you actually went to threaten my father to make me yield!”

“And you dare say you’re not interested in Sister Xiao Yan?”

“You’re the number one scumbag!”

Due to her intense anger, she was breathing rapidly.

Her ample chest heaved violently.

Jiang Xu spoke slowly and deliberately, “Is this how you treat your boss?”

“This is just how I am, if you dare, fire me!” Bai Zhou said fiercely, her face full of irritation.

As she spoke, she even gave Jiang Xu the middle finger, her face full of defiance.

“Fine,” Jiang Xu said indifferently, “since you think I’m a scumbag, then I’ll exercise the rights of a scumbag.”

“Guess what happens if I call your father and say I’m interested in you.”

“Guess what, will he personally deliver you to a hotel all washed up?”

Bai Zhou’s face changed, “You wouldn’t dare!”

Jiang Xu didn’t speak, simply took out his phone, pretending to make a call.

“Stop, stop, stop!” Bai Zhou’s face changed again.

One second she was furious, the next second she displayed an obsequious expression, “I was wrong, Mr. Jiang, from now on, I’ll work hard.”

This woman’s ability to change faces was simply unmatched.

Jiang Xu waved his hand, signaling that she could leave.

He let the Administrative Supervisor arrange her work.

Although she held the position of secretary, she was not allowed to touch anything truly important.

Just let her handle some simple tasks.

Before long, Fu Yanjie came by.

This fellow had gotten fatter recently.

Probably close to a hundred and seventy pounds now.

The whole person looked chubby and stout.

“What brings you here?” Jiang Xu asked in surprise.

“If I don’t come to see you, would you come to see me?” Fu Yanjie said very resentfully, “It’s been such a long time since you’ve sought me out for fun.”

To that, Jiang Xu only had one word in response.

“Scram!”

Fu Yanjie didn’t mind and said with a giggling smile, “Just now when I was coming in, I saw a girl with a ponytail, a new comer?”

He was probably talking about Bai Zhou.

Jiang Xu said irritably, “That woman is five or six levels above you in rank, don’t mess with her, or you won’t even know how you died.”

“I don’t have such thoughts, she looks like trouble, but…”

Fu Yanjie leaned in closer, lowering his voice, “I feel, she must possess a rare talent!”

Jiang Xu: “What???”

Fu Yanjie: “I read a book that mentioned you can judge by a person’s appearance whether they possess ming, qi.”

“That girl just now, I guess ninety percent of the time she does.”

Jiang Xu became interested, “Where is that book, let me have a look.”

No other meaning, purely out of curiosity.

As the saying goes, live to old, learn to old.

“I took some photos and have sent them to you.”

Soon, Jiang Xu received several photos.

He began to study them earnestly.

They detailed how to judge the world’s top ten famous artifacts by their appearance and sound.

Although he couldn’t guarantee a hundred percent accuracy, at least half was assured.

Above the top ten artifacts, there was also something known as ‘King Artifact,’ also called ‘Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends.’

It was impossible to judge by its appearance.

It could only be identified by the most direct method.

And it just so happened that this ‘King Artifact’ had come into Jiang Xu’s hands.

That’s right, it was his own delicate wife.

Jiang Xu suddenly felt like he had stumbled upon a treasure.

Was his wife really that amazing?

Hey, wait a minute!

Jiang Xu read through the content again.

His expression then turned bizarre.

If what was described was true, then—

Jiang Xiaoyan, Zhou Qingyue, Zhou Mengmeng, Bai Xiaoya, and Chu Youwei, Avi… seemed to also have a considerable chance.

No way, no way?

Alright, alright, playing it this way, huh?

If Bai Zhou is included, if all are true—

Then just around him, he would have gathered seven of the top famous artifacts along with one King Artifact.

Of course, Jiang Xu had no intention of investigating further.

He just needed to keep protecting his delicate wife.

Since he was here, Jiang Xu played a few rounds of King’s Game with Fu Yanjie.

He was called back by Zhang Yuanyuan after eleven.

Jiang Xu shouted at his retreating figure, “Don’t eat too much, watch your diet.”

Fu Yanjie, “I don’t plan to diet at all.”

Jiang Xu, “A big belly will hide the cun, and then it will look very small.”

Fu Yanjie, “From today, I’m dieting, dieting like crazy!”

Indeed, when it comes to size, there’s no man who wouldn’t mind.

At noon, Jiang Xu ate in the company cafeteria.

He happened to see Bai Zhou.

She was surrounded by several male colleagues.

That was normal.

This woman disguised herself well; any man who saw her would be deceived.

Bai Zhou also saw Jiang Xu.

A flash of anger passed through her eyes.

Then thinking of something, she smirked.

After speaking a few words to the male colleagues around her, she carried her plate and walked up to Jiang Xu.

Without waiting for him to speak, she sat down directly opposite him.

This made the other employees in the cafeteria show a surprised expression.

Who was this new female employee, daring to sit directly opposite Jiang Xu?

“Boss, you’re also here for lunch,” Bai Zhou said with a smile, then picked up a piece of chicken and put it on Jiang Xu’s plate.

No matter how you looked at it, the gesture was full of ambiguity.

Jiang Xu saw through her little trick immediately, “What, you do this deliberately, wanting people to think you’re interested in me?”

“Then I’ll be unable to withstand the pressure of public opinion, and fire you?”

“Impossible, you might as well give up on that idea.”

The anger on Bai Zhou’s face flickered and disappeared, then she said with a smile, “Not at all, you’re overthinking it, I don’t like Jiang Xiaoyan anymore.”

Jiang Xu was non-committal.

He lowered his head to eat, ignoring her.

Jiang Xu now had a much bigger appetite.

He ate twice as much as a normal person.

It couldn’t be helped; only by eating more could he produce more, and provide more for An Nuonuo…
