Chapter 1027: Chapter 118 Jiang Xu Gets Drunk Chapter 1027: Chapter 118 Jiang Xu Gets Drunk Lin Xian’er came in front of Jiang Xu.

Imitating the ancients, she curtsied deeply: “This humble girl greets the boss, may the boss have boundless fortune and well-being.”

“…” Jiang Xu couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “Cut out the act, sit down.”

Lin Xian’er sat down next to Jiang Xu.

“When did you transfer to the headquarters?” Jiang Xu asked curiously.

Lin Xian’er pouted her mouth: “Someone insignificant like me, you surely wouldn’t pay much attention to.”

The tone was slightly-tinged with a bit of resentment.

Of course, this resentment wasn’t because Jiang Xu didn’t value her, but because…

After Lin Xian’er explained, Jiang Xu suddenly realized.

Turns out Lin Xian’er had joined the headquarters two and a half years ago.

Starting from the very bottom.

It only took her two and a half years to become a department head, bringing a lot of orders to the company.

“You couldn’t be…” Jiang Xu eyed Lin Xian’er from head to toe, deeply suspicious of her motive: “You came here for my wife, didn’t you?”

Jiang Xu had the whole plot figured out.

A woman, in love yet unrequited, to get closer to the person she adores.

Therefore, she traversed mountains and rivers, left her hometown, to come to ‘her’ place.

Striving and fighting hard so that she could, eventually, stand in front of her beloved, with a smile and say: Long time no see, how have you been lately?

Thinking about that scene, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but get goosebumps.

It was just too cringeworthy.

“Ah?!!” Lin Xian’er’s complexion changed dramatically, and she blurted out subconsciously: “How did you know about my feelings for Nuonuo…”

Before she could finish, she hastily covered her mouth.

“Nonsense.” Jiang Xu gave her a white look, speaking discontentedly: “I’ve known that for 800 years; your behavior is so obvious.”

Hearing this, Lin Xian’er felt as if the sky had collapsed on her.

The secret love she thought was well-concealed had long been seen through by others.

She was, undeniably, a clown.

She really wanted to lash out at Jiang Xu, but she didn’t dare.

Her mind rapidly whirring, Lin Xian’er sighed and said: “I know it’s just a one-sided affection, so I’ve long since let it go.

Now, I just want to work hard for a few more years, and after earning enough money, I will marry and have children… oh no, I mean get married and have children.”

Jiang Xu took her words at face value, stood up and said: “Okay then, you keep up the good work, I need to head back first.”

“Wait.” Lin Xian’er called Jiang Xu back: “We haven’t seen each other for so long, how about we go have a couple of drinks?”

Jiang Xu: “Just the two of us, not inviting Nuonuo?”

Lin Xian’er shook her head: “Don’t invite her, just us two will do.”

Jiang Xu thought to himself, it seems Lin Xian’er has truly given up on certain unrealistic fantasies.

That’s good.

Lin Xian’er was also quite capable, if she focused solely on her career, it would be good for her and for Jiang Xu as well.

“Alright.” Jiang Xu pocketed his phone: “Where do you want to go have a drink?”

Lin Xian’er: “Let’s go to my place, I tell you, I’ve been cooking on my own these years, and it’s delicious.”

Jiang Xu: “Alright then, let’s have a taste of your cooking skills.”

Lin Xian’er’s place wasn’t big, surprisingly, it was only a little over a hundred square meters.

The decor style was ancient-themed.

However, what left Jiang Xu speechless was that her living room was actually decorated with an empress’ robe, Dragon Robe, and various official costumes from different dynasties.

Wow, she’s really into all sorts of role-playing.

“Haha, sorry for making you laugh, boss.” Lin Xian’er gave an embarrassed smile: “Take a seat for a minute, I’ll go cook.”

Walking into the kitchen, Lin Xian’er immediately got busy.

Her eyes gleamed with a fiery intensity.

After waiting for so long, she finally got the opportunity she had been looking for.

She must seize it well!

An hour later, Jiang Xu looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes with surprise.

There were Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and Henan cuisine.

All were high-end dishes that required great culinary skills.

Leaving the taste aside, just the presentation alone was quite impressive.

Jiang Xu first tried a bite of the braised lion’s head meatball.

“Mm,” Jiang Xu nodded and praised, “The cooking skills are solid, you could open a restaurant.”

With Jiang Xu’s experienced palate finding it delicious, the flavors of the food must indeed be good.

“If you like it, eat more,” Lin Xian’er said joyfully as she kept serving Jiang Xu more dishes.

She was very attentive.

“That’s odd,” Jiang Xu looked at Lin Xian’er: “Why have you added alcohol to so many of these dishes?”

Whether it was beer, rice wine, or cooking wine.

Lin Xian’er spoke calmly, “It’s a habit, I prefer using alcohol in cooking, it gives a unique flavor.”

Jiang Xu nodded without digging too deeply.

“Oh, right,” Lin Xian’er slapped her head, “Just a moment.”

She then stood up, and it was unclear what she was going to do.

After a while, Lin Xian’er came back with a jar of alcohol.

It was stored in an old-fashioned ceramic jar.

With a ‘pop’, she opened the lid and poured out a cup.

The liquid was golden and looked very appealing.

A strong aroma of alcohol wafted out.

Lin Xian’er said to Jiang Xu, “This is Gold that I brewed myself, it’s been two years, and it tastes great, give it a try.”

Jiang Xu didn’t reach for it and said, “Rice wine should be warmed up a bit to taste good.”

“You know your stuff,” Lin Xian’er gave a thumbs up and then went to get a wine warmer.

The warmed rice wine was very smooth, and Jiang Xu felt warm all over in an instant.

“You’ve changed a lot in the past few years,” Jiang Xu remarked.

Lin Xian’er wasn’t like this before.

“People change,” Lin Xian’er also took a sip of rice wine, full of emotion: “Who could have thought back then that a chance encounter with a younger classmate…”

“Would result in him skyrocketing to success in just a few short years.”

“And eventually reaching a height that 99.99% of people in the world could not achieve.”

Every time she thought of this, Lin Xian’er was greatly moved.

This was no longer merely luck; it was almost like a beacon of renown.

Her classmates and friends and family were all extremely envious that Lin Xian’er knew Jiang Xu, and that she worked at his company.

Just that alone was nearly as good as striking it rich.

Jiang Xu smiled.

Not to mention Lin Xian’er, even Jiang Xu himself sometimes felt a strong sense of pride in the quiet of the night.

With his own effort and courage, he had achieved everything he has now.

Especially in Agricultural Country, where there had never been any bloodshed.

It was with money and wisdom that he transformed what was once a ‘thatched hut’ into today’s ‘skyscraper’.

“You’re too impressive, you are my idol,” Lin Xian’er flattered Jiang Xu while continuously pouring him more liquor.

Chatting while eating and drinking, Jiang Xu didn’t realize he was starting to feel tipsy.
