Chapter 32: They Are All Millennial Foxes

Xu Ning’s voice was low, sounding miserable.

It was probably because of this miserable state that she didn’t even wait for Su Lu to make a sound.

She went on, “President Su, I really couldn’t keep it a secret anymore. Mr. Su came to me every day, asking about your whereabouts in Hai City. I lied about your whereabouts several times. Today, he came over and exploded in anger. He was pointing his finger at my face, threatening to fire me if I deceived him again!”

Although she said that, because Su Lu took good care of her subordinates, Xu Ning’s voice lacked any sense of fear. After a moment’s pause, she added, “Although I don’t know why he could fire me… He’s not the one who pays my salary, but… but… he comes over every day and speaks rudely, it’s distressing for me. President Su, please help me!”

Xu Ning didn’t wait for Su Lu’s response and glanced at the phone screen where the call was already connected. Uncertainly, she called out, “President Su?”

Then, she heard a deep male voice saying, “She’s resting and hasn’t woken up yet.”

The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ning whispered, “President Gu? Are you with President Su?”

It was not that she recognized Gu Xin’s voice. In fact, Xu Ning didn’t even know what Gu Xin’s voice sounded like. However, there was no other man besides President Su. When she heard this male voice, she tacitly agreed that it was Gu Xin.

When Bo Jingshen heard the name ‘President Gu’, his brows furrowed into a knot.

Xu Ning murmured, “That’s not right… Didn’t President Gu go on a vacation abroad?”

Just yesterday, Su Lu had sent a message wishing him a good time. After all, these recent events had given Gu Xin a lot of headaches. Chen Yaxi’s mood was probably not good either, especially considering she was pregnant.

Gu Xin was the one who took her out to relax.

Bo Jingshen’s lips curled up coldly.

This foolish woman, who was sound asleep in bed, had been troubled by all the rumors caused by Gu Xin. Not only was she injured, but she had also come to Hai City, where the typhoon had just passed, seeking refuge. She was also trapped at the construction site before, carrying all the misfortunes.

And the instigator, Gu Xin, had gone abroad on a vacation with his little lover!

Xu Ning also realized that something was amiss. “Um… Then, when President Su wakes up, please let her know. Ah, no, forget it, I’ll call back later.”

As she was about to hang up, the man’s voice remained low but acquired a touch of coldness. “There’s nothing you can’t tell Su Yukang. If he keeps asking, just tell him the truth.”

“But President Su…” Xu Ning knew very well that Su Lu’s decision to come to Hai City wasn’t solely to avoid public scrutiny. She wanted to find some peace and take a break, escaping from the troubles of the Su family.

That’s why Xu Ning had been diligently deceiving Su Yukang.

“She’ll know when she wakes up. Don’t worry. Besides, it’s impossible to keep it a secret forever,” Bo Jingshen said calmly.

After all, Liu Qiming had seen her in Hai City.

Moreover, regardless of what trouble Su Yukang wanted to cause her, Bo Jingshen could protect his people.

“Well… Alright then. If possible, please inform President Su when she wakes up.”

After ending the call, Bo Jingshen’s drowsiness was gone.

However, he did not sit down on the sofa. Instead, he took his tablet and went to bed.

He climbed onto the bed with a light movement, leaning against the headboard, and started working on his tablet.

Although the bed in the suite was spacious, there was still limited space.

The room was quiet, so even the slightest sound would be clear.

For example, the woman’s gentle and elongated breaths.

It was soft.

It was as if the entire picture was blurred by a circle of rough edges as if it was plated with a layer of soft light.

On the messaging app, Jiang Su was online.

Jiang Su was known as Young Master Jiang. He was steady, sharp, and had a keen business sense. He was much more reliable than his younger brother, Jiang Er.

It was also because of the eldest son of the Jiang family who was the pillar of the family that they did not care about Jiang Er’s upbringing.

Although Bo Jingshen had a deeper relationship with Jiang Li, he knew Jiang Li first and only knew Jiang Su through Jiang Li.

However, perhaps because both of them were indifferent and calm, he had a good relationship with Jiang Su. Sometimes, they even had a lot to talk about.

Jiang Su asked, “How much longer will you be in Hai City?”

Bo Jingshen replied, “I don’t know.”

Jiang Su asked, “Are you fully recovered from your injury?”

Bo Jingshen replied, “I’m fine.”

Jiang Su said, “I heard you played the hero and saved a beauty.”

Bo Jingshen remarked, “Can your brother Jiang Er be any more talkative?”

Jiang Su commented, “It doesn’t seem like something you would do.”

From Jiang Su’s perspective, Bo Jingshen was similar to him in that neither could be considered a good person. To be able to achieve this success of business in such a short time, required not only real skills, intelligence, and luck but also a level of ruthlessness that others lacked.

Moreover, sometimes, after being in the business world for a long time, it was all about exquisite self-interest and heroism…they seemed to belong to a different world.

Jiang Su’s statement was not wrong.

Bo Jingshen did not want to talk about this matter. Although he sometimes had more to talk about with Jiang Su than with Jiang Li because the two of them were somewhat similar, it was precise because of this that Bo Jingshen knew that Jiang Su was more clever than Jiang Er.

Jiang Su knew more than he had imagined.

Therefore, there was no need to let Jiang Su know certain things.

Bo Jingshen changed the subject.

He sent a voice message directly, saying, “Instead of gossiping about me, why don’t you think about how to prevent Jiang Er from causing losses in the project I invested in? As his brother, you didn’t invest, so he’s targeting me.”

A voice message came back from the other end of the phone as well.

Jiang Su’s voice didn’t have the same magnetism as Bo Jingshen’s, but it was low and deep, making him sound steadier. Moreover, it was as if he had especially practiced speaking. He was always just right, neither fast nor slow, neither flustered nor hurried.

It was as if he could remain calm even if the sky collapsed in front of him. Just this perfect speed of speech seemed to be able to put pressure on the other party during the negotiation.

“Are you referring to the esports project he mentioned to me before?”

“Is there anything else? What other projects does he have that are worthy of attention? Could it be the snail noodles chain he previously asked me to invest in? Please spare me.”

Jiang Su chuckled. “Alright, I won’t let you take the risk alone. I’ll invest the same amount as you. We can discuss the details when you guys return.”

“Fine.” Bo Jingshen had no objections to Jiang Su’s words. In fact, he had anticipated Jiang Su’s response long ago.

It wasn’t just because he didn’t want Bo Jingshen to bear the risk alone.

Young Master Jiang was shrewd and seemingly dismissive of his younger brother, but he still cared for him.

Naturally, he didn’t want his younger brother to be the one who had worked hard on the project and earned money, as the major investment came from Bo Jingshen. Despite his brother’s dedicated time and effort, he received very little in return.

Bo Jingshen knew that Jiang Su would contribute the funds.

After all, both of them were smart, and neither of them would play tricks with the other.

“In that case, whom should I have someone contact on your end?” Jiang Su asked, “Cheng Yan? Has he already returned to the country?”

Bo Jingshen paused for a moment before uttering two words, “Su Lu.”
