“Congratulations, Mr.

Wang!”

“Such joyous news!”

“From now on, instead of a superior-subordinate relationship, it will be a partnership!”

“Our finance and human resources departments will give full support, striving to complete the equity change and personnel relationship adjustments today!”

…

Jovial laughter and high spirits filled the air.

At this moment, Wang Taixiong swept away the gloom.

He was no longer a wage earner; he had begun to fight for his own business.

Thus, his joy was written all over his face.

“Thank you, everyone!”

Wang Taixiong bowed and said with a beaming smile:

“You’ve all been working hard this morning.

Please, let’s move across to Zunge Private Cuisine, my treat for a simple meal!”

Tang Xiao stood up and, with a smile, said, “Director Wu, why don’t you go with everyone?

I need to convene a board meeting and issue an announcement, so I won’t join.”

“Then, President Tang, I’ll treat you to a meal another day!”

Wang Taixiong moved closer and shook hands to express his gratitude.

Amidst laughter, everyone set off to dine.

This meal was destined to be extremely extravagant.

If it hadn’t been for the procedures in the afternoon, they would probably have ended up drunk.

Before parting, Wang Taixiong pulled Wu Jie aside.

“Brother, thank you!”

“Although you always mock yourself as a ‘little man,’ I’ve found I really enjoy cooperating with someone as candid as you.”

“Compared to those hypocrites who say one thing and do another, you’re refreshingly straightforward and honest.

Even though you won’t be in charge of me from today, you’ll certainly be included whenever there’s a chance to eat, drink, and be merry!”

“Once everything is settled this afternoon, we’ll have a grand celebration tonight.

You definitely mustn’t turn it down!”

Wu Jie chuckled and said, “If Xu Changshan is also attending, then there’s no need to inform me, otherwise, I’m afraid I might end up fighting with him!”

“Xu Changshan?

Heh!”

Wang Taixiong shook his head with a wry smile, patting Wu Jie on the shoulder:

“A blustering old fellow on the surface but timid on the inside, don’t bother with him.

Compared to him, Xu Feng is the real tough one.

Don’t be fooled by his crazy behavior; he’s actually very cunning…

Sigh, why am I even discussing this with you?

Let’s go and get those procedures done!”

Waving goodbye, the motorcade slowly departed.

When the last car also vanished from sight,

Wu Jie took out his phone and looked at the three bank transfer messages he received today.

Twenty million, eighty million, four hundred million…

A man doesn’t get rich without a windfall, and a horse doesn’t get fat without grazing at night!

But compared to the mountain of money sitting in the warehouse, these long strings of digits failed to send Wu Jie into raptures.

“I’ve made quite a bit of money, but energy points…

How am I supposed to earn those?”

Wu Jie pocketed his phone, inwardly sighing.

It cost him a lot of energy points to rake in this big sum.

Over a million, what a pain!

Although there were still over two months left until the final deadline for the third reward-based task, he was still short by over seven million energy points!

What else could relieve this anguish but to become fabulously rich!

On the way back, Wu Jie’s mind was preoccupied with how to earn energy points.

Especially the part from yesterday afternoon, when he fiercely criticized Xu Changshan and attacked other magnates at the conference.

The energy points soared by tens of thousands in a frenzy, and it felt amazing.

So…

He must attend the celebration tonight!

Ding dong!

The elevator arrived.

Wu Jie stepped out and immediately spotted the reception desk at the president’s secretary’s office.

“Damn!

How did I end up here without even realizing?”

As he muttered to himself, the tall and graceful Xie Wanjun approached him in her high heels, smiling radiantly.

“Director Wu, President Tang is in a meeting upstairs.

Shall I take you to the office to wait?”

Xie Wanjun’s smile was sweet, and her voice was soft and pleasant.

Wu Jie raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Why the sudden warmth?

Could it be a case of smiling faces that hide knives?

Xie Wanjun hasn’t been dating Manager Cao Bin from the marketing department this whole time?

With that question in mind, Wu Jie followed Xie Wanjun unhurriedly to the office.

Got to say, this chick has a really nice figure!

The almost 1.7 meters of height makes her stand out in a crowd.

Damn it!

What a femme fatale!

Wu Jie diverted his gaze, calming his mind.

I’m a freaking billionaire, for Heaven’s sake, how could I be attracted to this type of woman?

Who knows how many pigs have trampled over that skin?

He lounged on the sofa carelessly, propping up his legs, utterly relaxed.

Xie Wanjun was busy serving tea and fetching magazines, being excessively diligent.

“Are you on the wrong meds today or something?

Usually, you don’t even give me a second look.

You must despise me in your heart, the pretty boy who climbed up the ranks through President Tang, right?”

Wu Jie asked with a teasing smile.

“Director Wu, you’re joking.

How could I despise you?

I don’t have time for that, I’m too busy envying you!”

Xie Wanjun flashed a charming smile, stood opposite Wu Jie, and bent over to tidy up the coffee table.

Wu Jie’s smile lingered at his lips as he openly gazed at her.

“You’re so pretty, and with a figure like that, it’s no wonder Manager Cao is so head over heels for you.”

Standing up, Xie Wanjun forced a smile and said:

“Director Wu, please don’t get me wrong.

He and I are just friends, and the guy is still single to this day!”

“Is that so?

Aren’t there enough young talents in our company for you to choose from?”

“Where are there many?

There’s only you, Director Wu!”

Xie Wanjun’s gaze was direct and flirtatious, her eyes smiling seductively.

“Ah, what a pity.

I’m already taken.

Otherwise, for a beautiful demoness like you, I’d be open to all comers!”

“Hmph!

Annoying!”

Xie Wanjun huffed daintily, striding away with long steps that swayed seductively.

Wu Jie shook his head and chuckled to himself: “It’s true, money and power are the ultimate poison to attract women.”

Not long after.

Tang Xiao came back.

Seeing Wu Jie, she casually closed the door behind her and walked over with a smile:

“The board is very satisfied, and I believe you’re even more pleased, right?

Earning four billion just like that, how does it feel?”

Tang Xiao sat opposite him and started munching on an apple.

Wu Jie shook his head and said, “Doesn’t feel like much.

In fact, I think they’ve been let off easy.

Those sons of guns are all filthy rich.

If I ever get another chance, I’ve got to scam them for all they’re worth!”

Tang Xiao nodded in agreement: “Yeah!

They lose billions and then quickly gather billions again.

The saying ‘crime pays off handsomely’ really proves true.”

Wu Jie took out his phone and asked, “Speaking of which, give me your card number.

Fortune favors the bold, and besides, this successful scamming wouldn’t have been possible without your impeccable cooperation and acting skills.”

“No need.

After all, I won’t be taking any payment from you in the future!” After a pause, Tang Xiao added with a smile, “Of course, if there’s another opportunity like this and we succeed again, we’ll just split the proceeds based on our contributions!”

While talking, Xie Wanjun came in with a boxed meal for Tang Xiao.

Before leaving, she didn’t forget to cast a covert, longing glance at Wu Jie.

Ay, my goodness!

This demoness really has no shame!

Who was it that used to look down on me back in the day?

Who said I was just a lowly security guard, underestimated by snobbish eyes?

Redirecting his attention, Wu Jie watched Tang Xiao, who was focused on her meal.

“Wang Taixiong mentioned organizing a celebration dinner tonight, are you going?”

Tang Xiao shook her head: “Why should I go?”

“True!

Xu Changshan, that old codger, will definitely be there.

It’d be awkward for you!” Wu Jie suddenly paused, noticing Tang Xiao’s expression turn icy, and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?

Did you choke?”

Tang Xiao snapped sternly.

“This is the first and last time I warn you, don’t ever mention his name in front of me again!”

Wu Jie nodded in astonishment, then asked with an awkward smile, “Since you hate him so much, want me to help you out?”

Tang Xiao lowered her head and continued eating:

“No need.

I and everyone in the Tang Family respect my mother’s last wishes.”

Wu Jie shrugged and said with a smile, “But our marriage is fake!

Technically speaking, I’m not considered one of the Tang Family People!”

With a click, Tang Xiao’s chopsticks dropped, and her eyes suddenly turned sharp, with a threatening edge…
