Chapter 567: 567 Clumsy Yet Playful
If what Zhang Xiaofeng said was true, then it naturally was a great thing for Jiang Xu.
It meant the entire group’s crisis had been lifted.
Even if he was insincere, it wouldn’t hurt Jiang Xu in any way.
Afterward, the two conspired for several hours and came to a concrete plan of action.
Jiang Xu thought Zhang Xiaofeng seemed genuine about ninety percent of the time, rather than having ulterior motives.
Still, there was a little doubt in his heart.
How did this guy’s temperament change so quickly?
As if he could see the question in Jiang Xu’s mind, Zhang Xiaofeng snorted coldly, “I don’t mind telling you, there are several big shots in Mei Country eyeing my company.
They were ready to make their move, but now they’ve paused to focus on dealing with you.
Once I’m no longer of use to them, they will definitely make a move.
So I need to plan for the future.
While I have the chance, I plan to gradually transfer my assets back to our country. In the future, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate.” Jiang Xu showed a look of realization, “So that’s how it is, great, great, we should definitely strengthen our cooperation in the future.”
Of course, Jiang Xu wasn’t going to take his word for it.
He would have someone investigate.
“Alright, now that we’ve discussed official business,” Zhang Xiaofeng chuckled with a sleazy grin, rubbing his hands together, “let’s talk about something personal.”
Great.
His true colors revealed.
This was the real Zhang Xiaofeng, sleazy with a hint of disgust.
“What do you want?” asked JiangXu, on guard.
“I have a somewhat impolite request,” Zhang Xiaofeng said with a hint of shyness’ on his face, “Can you, right here, watch me perform?”
Perform?” Jiang Xu was puzzled, “What are you babbling about?”
Zhang Xiaofeng picked up the summoner on the table and pressed it.
A moment later, the door to the private room opened.
Two men and two women walked in.
Zhang Xiaofeng gave Jiang Xu a suggestive wink, ‘You can watch the ‘performance’ between me and them.”
Jiang Xu:”…”
Wow, just wow.
I knew Zhang Xiaofeng was a pervert, but I didn’t expect him to be this perverted.
Is this something a carbon-based organism could come up with?
“So, what do you think?” Zhang Xiaofeng asked with a face full of anticipation,
“Consider it a small token of sincerity for our cooperation.”
JiangXu:”…”
Silence, a long silence.
If it weren’t for the need for Zhang Xiaofeng’s power now, Jiang Xu surely would have left on the spot.
“Okay,” Jiang Xu said, suppressing his disgust, “but those two men, get them out; that’s my bottom line.”
‘This…” Zhang Xiaofeng hesitated but finally nodded, “Alright.”
He waved his hand to have the two men leave.
Then, Zhang Xiaofeng began his ‘performance.’
How to put it.
There were a variety of moves, enough to shock Jiang Xu.
You can play like this?
Was this guy spending all his time thinking up these tricks?
Jiang Xu truly had his eyes opened.
After it was over, Zhang Xiaofeng insisted on a critique from Jiang Xu. The guy had lots of moves but only lasted two to three minutes once things really got started.
Typically inept but playful.
-Mr. Zhang is impressive, whether it’s vision, stamina, taste, and so on, all top-notch, something I look up to,” Jiang Xu praised, against his better judgment.
Such middle-aged men, declining in physical strength, also tend to underperform in that area.
They need others’ recognition and encouragement.
“Hahaha, not as great as you say, Mr. Jiang,” laughed Zhang Xiaofeng.
Zhang Xiaofeng said this, but his expression seemed to be saying, “Quick, keep praising, don’t stop.”
Jiang Xu suppressed the urge to curse and reluctantly praised him a few more times.
Zhang Xiaofeng felt light as a feather and found Jiang Xu more tolerable.
When leaving, Jiang Xu did not leave with Zhang Xiaofeng.
Both of them used special secret passages to exit.
This club had dozens of secret passages specifically for clients to conduct business.
There wasn’t a single camera inside the whole club.
It was also neutral territory and a preferred location for many big bosses to hold confidential talks.
After getting into the car, Jiang Xu had someone check if what Zhang Xiaofeng had said was true.
He didn’t go straight home but instead went to see the artists left behind by Lifuzhen.
After a few words of encouragement, he kept Mo Hawa’er behind.
Among the new generation of artists in Mei Country, Zhou Qingyue ranked second in popularity, and Mo Hawa’er could be ranked fifth.
And her rise was very rapid.
Mo Hawa’er’s face showed a complex expression.
Overnight, the competitive relationship had turned into one of having the same boss, which was very unfamiliar to her.
Her concern now was whether Jiang Xu would sideline her to pave the way for Zhou Qingyue.
Jiang Xu saw her worry and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you.
On the contrary, I will increase the company’s investment in you.”
Mo Hawa’er was astonished, “Why is that?”
This was different from the scenario she had anticipated.
Jiang Xu explained, “Consider it resource exchange. I hope you can ask your family in Bear Country to take care of a girl for me.”
Mo Hawa’er’s father was a top tycoon in Romantic Country.
However, Jiang Xu had investigated her family a while ago.
In Bear Country, they were also a major power with significant influence.
He was mainly curious why Mo Hawa’er, who could have been a little princess in her own country, had chosen to be an artist here.
He wondered if there was something fishy going on.
After some digging, he found out that Mo Hawa’er had several siblings who were fiercely vying for the position of the next family head.
Knowing she lacked the strength, she decided not to return and instead aimed to develop her career here.
Jiang Xu was hoping to provide extra security for Jiang Xiaoyan.
“Oh, I see.” Mo Hawa’er sighed with relief and smiled, “Alright, I got it. Thanks boss.”
She wasn’t afraid of Jiang Xu having designs on her; she was afraid he had no designs at all.
After resolving the matters here, Jiang Xu finally went home.
An Nuonuo had actually already gone to sleep.
This suddenly made Jiang Xu’s heart leap with concern.
Could it be that she was not feeling well somewhere?
After all, An Nuonuo would usually wait up for him no matter how late it was.
He entered the bedroom quietly.
Only a small lamp was on.
There was a note on the bedside table.
He picked it up and read: “Hubby, I’ve gone to sleep first. Sister Xiaoya said women who stay up late age quickly. I’m a bit scared, so I didn’t dare wait for you, sorry-”
Having read this, Jiang Xu was relieved.
As long as she was physically fine, that was what mattered.
Taking off his shoes and clothes, Jiang Xu got into bed.
A week went by in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Xiaofeng didn’t pull any shenanigans and really followed the blueprint agreed upon during their secret talk.
On the surface, the battle raged fiercely.
In reality, it hadn’t caused much damage at all.
Originally, Jiang Xu had estimated that this would shrink the conglomerate by thirty to fifty billion in a short time.
Now, it seemed that this was unlikely to happen.
Since the crisis for the conglomerate was averted, JiangXu could now attend to another matter..
