Chapter 1413: 956 Pure Men

Fearful of missing out on chaos, Boss Jiang came up with a wild idea and then didn’t inquire further. After all, being tens of thousands of miles away, no matter how the Capital City surged with storm clouds, it wouldn’t affect the weather in East Sea.

"You two sisters sit together, I’ll sit over here. Today I must have a good drink with our great hero, Tianci."

Barbecue shop.

A clever arrangement by Jiang Chen.

This is a necessary procedure, unavoidable.

Except for the girlfriend and Qing Mei.

Just hearing those words feels ripe for dramatic conflict.

"As long as you aren’t cursing me in your mind, I’ll be thankful."

At the company, Fang Qing is quite serious, but she doesn’t bring her work persona into personal life. Or perhaps she intentionally acts distant in front of Li Shuru, putting some space between herself and Jiang Chen.

No one here is an ordinary person.

Everyone is skilled at acting, but some skills depend on the occasion; otherwise, it might have the opposite effect.

"Why would I be foolish enough to curse you? You’re sacrificing yourself to contribute to the company; I can’t thank you enough."

Jiang Chen, with true emotion, without any restraint, began pouring beer, "I must raise a glass to you."

"I appreciate the gesture, but I have to work tonight."

"Don’t do it, I’m approving it."

Jiang Chen waved his hand boldly, full of pride.

"Not do it at all, or do it later?"

Fang Qing asked.

"You drink by yourself. Even if Sister Fang Qing doesn’t work tonight, you’ll have to work more in the future, making it even more tiring,"

Li Shuru said with a smile.

Today again, tomorrow, and there’s always more tomorrow.

Jiang Chen, alone in his corner, didn’t push it, "The legal department will be expanding, so you won’t have to work so hard."

"Thank you."

"We’re all family, no need to be formal."

Jiang Chen smiled indifferently and called out, "Eat, this place is really hard to book."

Although there are many melodramatic plots on TV, none of that happened here. Li Shuru and Fang Qing got along really well, chatting and laughing, to the point where Jiang Chen could hardly get a word in.

Of course.

Jiang Chen knew very well that all this was just a facade, but even as a facade, it was enough.

He was in a good mood, drinking alone and savoring the moment.

Sometimes drinking doesn’t need company; it just needs a mood.

Suddenly.

A ringing tone started.

It was Jiang Chen’s phone.

When he pulled out his phone and saw the caller ID, he couldn’t help raising an eyebrow, then looked up at the two women and said, "I need to take a call."

Then.

He stood up and left the table, carrying his phone, walking to a more distant spot.

The phone kept ringing without being hung up.

The caller was very patient.

Looking at the phone screen, after a few seconds, Jiang Chen pressed the answer button, unhurriedly picking it up and putting it to his ear.

He didn’t speak.

"Mr. Jiang."

A seductive voice came through the airwaves, still as spine-tingling as ever.

"What’s up?"

Jiang Chen’s face remained unchanged, detached.

"Oh, nothing really, it’s just that Li Ji isn’t feeling too happy and wanted to chat with someone, but didn’t know who to call, so I thought of Mr. Jiang. Hope I’m not disturbing you?"

What an honor.

"I’m having dinner."

Jiang Chen was terse, almost saying it was an interruption.

"Mr. Jiang, aren’t we friends?"

The voice on the other end said mournfully.

"Miss Fujiwara should have more friends in Shenzhou than just me, right?"

"But right now, I just want to hear Mr. Jiang’s voice."

Jiang Chen remained silent.

"Miss Fujiwara is still in Shenzhou?"

"Where else? Where does Mr. Jiang think I should be?"

Jiang Chen said nothing.

"Does Mr. Jiang know where I just came from?"

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to reply, she answered her own question, "The Capital City Police Bureau."

"Oh."

Jiang Chen responded coolly, "What was Miss Fujiwara doing there?"

"What could I be doing? Of course, drinking tea, and I must say, the tea there is quite good, haha..."

Jiang Chen’s brows slightly furrowed.

CEO Cao is really effective, huh.

Managed to get this troublemaker inside.

Of course.

Just as he had told Cao Jinse, he didn’t expect to handle this troublemaker so easily, it was merely to vent some anger.

A foreign woman acting so arrogantly in Shenzhou — intolerable.

"If you like the tea, drink more; after all, the tea there is free."

"I’ve had enough. Li Ji was there for a whole two days."

Though the voice on the phone was still bewitching, it wasn’t hard to detect the underlying emotions.

According to regulations.

Assisting in an investigation usually only lasts twenty-four hours, yet this woman stayed for forty-eight hours?

I wonder if she acted the same way in front of the stern police officers at the station?

Suppressing the satisfaction within him, Jiang Chen nonchalantly asked, "Did Miss Fujiwara commit some crime?"

"How could I? Mr. Jiang knows Li Ji better than that; I haven’t even littered since coming to Shenzhou."

Jiang Chen almost laughed.

"Maybe you offended someone."

Fujiwara Reiki said faintly.

"Then it’s nothing serious. Since Miss Fujiwara spent two days in there, you must be tired. Go home, take a shower, and get some rest."

What a perfect response.

"Li Ji knew reaching out to you wasn’t a mistake."

Fujiwara Reiki was deeply touched, "Mr. Jiang truly cares about Li Ji."

For the first time, Jiang Chen found himself admiring someone’s acting skills, reaching a zen-like state.

"Go get some rest, they probably told you they might ask for your assistance again, right?"

There was a chuckle on the other end.

It was obvious that this time the laughter was less natural.

"Alright, Li Ji is indeed a bit tired..."

Before she could finish her goodbye, Boss Jiang had already hung up, rather heartlessly and coldly.

The Capital City.

In front of the imposing government building.

Fujiwara Reiki stood holding the phone that had been rudely hung up, her face void of any smile, unsure if there ever was one.

By the roadside.

An Alphard was already parked.

Fujiwara Reiki put down her phone, walked toward the Alphard, losing all her usual seductive charm.

"Miss."

"Book a flight back to Dongying."

Indeed.

Only by learning a lesson will one understand pain.

Fujiwara Reiki, emanating a ’do not approach’ aura, bent down and got into the Alphard, "Also, contact the Martin Group. I want to place an additional order."

Martin Facker.

A globally renowned arms trade company, willing to sell anything as long as you pay.

"Understood."

Fujiwara Reiki, her face icy, sat in the car.

Women are emotional creatures.

This is an innate nature.

No matter how powerful the individual, this nature can’t be erased, only suppressed at best.

So even if you don’t like a woman, unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to provoke her.

But Boss Jiang is a real man, and it’s not that he doesn’t understand, he just doesn’t care.

He put the phone back in his pocket, feeling even better, and just as he planned to go back, he turned around and saw Fang Qing standing behind him at some point, the two locking eyes.

"A foreign teacher from my university days."

Jiang Chen opened his mouth to explain, adding unnecessary details out of instinct.

Fang Qing said nothing and walked past him.
