384: Chapter 384: Lethal Ruthless Move!

Draw a Clear Line!

The water churned with waves.

Wu Jie’s sudden plunge into the water really gave Tang Xiao a scare.

She quickly hid in a corner of the pool, hurriedly protecting herself with her hands as she shouted sternly.

Wu Jie surfaced, shaking his hair and wiping his face, and said with a playful laugh:

“Such a big pool, and you’re swimming alone.

What a waste!”

Glaring fiercely at Wu Jie, Tang Xiao quickly stood up and fled clumsily, crouching low.

Bang!

The door slammed shut behind Tang Xiao, its thudding sound causing Wu Jie’s heart to jolt.

“Are you angry already?”

He chuckled and submerged into the water again.

After swimming back and forth vigorously a few times, splashing water everywhere, he was a bit tired but felt incredibly relaxed.

After taking a shower back in his room, Wu Jie put on a pair of briefs and deliberately chose a pair of sports shorts to wear as well.

He sauntered casually to the dining room.

Tang Xiao hadn’t arrived yet; she was probably still showering and changing in her room.

The freshly cooked food hadn’t cooled yet, so Wu Jie picked up a bowl and started to fill it with rice.

At that moment, Tang Xiao came back.

She wore an extremely conservative nightgown, not only with sleeves but also with a skirt that went past her knees.

Moreover, the neckline was just two centimeters below her throat, barely revealing anything.

“Holy moly!

What era are you from?

Where did you dig up such an ancient piece?

Your nightgown is way too conservative, isn’t it?” Wu Jie exclaimed in astonishment.

Tang Xiao shot him a glare, sat down, picked up her bowl and chopsticks.

“Who asked you to be such a rogue?

I have to dress like this!

And another thing, from now on we must swim separately, not together!”

Wu Jie said, dumbfounded, “Why?

The Great Qing is long gone, isn’t your thinking a bit too conservative?

Have you seen those public swimming pools, where men and women swim together?”

Tang Xiao’s face was stern as she retorted irritably, “I said no and that means no, it’s a matter of principle!”

Wu Jie laughed, “Then you can buy a swimsuit that’s as conservative as this nightgown!

Swimming together is more water-efficient, you know!”

Tang Xiao huffed dismissively and didn’t reply, simply burying her head in her meal.

Wu Jie, chuckling, sat by and watched Tang Xiao finish eating.

As she took the dishes to the kitchen, Wu Jie turned off the dining room lights and stood at the kitchen doorway.

“In this day and age, you should be a bit more open with your thinking, otherwise how would you dare to wear a beautiful, sexy wedding dress?”

“I wouldn’t choose a sexy one!

The more conservative, the better, so certain disgusting rogues don’t get a bargain!!”

Tang Xiao quickly washed the dishes and turned around, “Why are you blocking the way?

Aren’t you going to sleep?”

“Sleep!

Of course, I’m going to sleep!”

Wu Jie chuckled and headed back to his room first.

Shortly after.

When Tang Xiao returned to the master bedroom, she found it pitch dark as soon as she opened the door.

A sudden, inexplicable sense of danger washed over her.

Someone was launching a surprise attack!

Instantly, Tang Xiao executed a chokehold and body twist, using leverage to easily knock Wu Jie to the ground.

Cough cough!

Cough cough!

Wu Jie felt like he was choking on a fishbone, struggling to breathe as his throat was suddenly and forcefully constricted.

Letting go and rising to her feet, Tang Xiao coldly snorted and scolded:

“This shouldn’t count as vigorous exercise, I suppose!

How dare you ambush me?

Next time, I’ll hit even harder!”

“If you dare to mess with me again, do you believe that if I get really angry, I could just slice with one cut!”

Turning on the light and seeing Wu Jie clutching his throat and coughing, Tang Xiao huffed proudly and left to wash up.

Wu Jie continued to cough for a good while before finally catching his breath.

This time, it wasn’t an act.

Tang Xiao’s chokehold was precise and ruthless, and she had used his own momentum against him.

This way, the neck felt an immense strain from the tightening, pulling, and twisting forces involved.

If Tang Xiao had been any stronger, she could have easily broken his cervical spine.

On the battlefield, this kind of sudden chokehold twist is generally used for taking out sentries.

Especially effective against guards, you could sneak up from behind, apply the chokehold twist, and instantly break the neck, killing the enemy in one move.

Of course, special forces soldiers wouldn’t go in unarmed.

A military knife with a wide blade and a blood groove, thrust diagonally from the rib into the chest cavity and hitting the heart, could kill even quicker.

After all, slitting throats and such isn’t very efficient, as human carotid arteries gush blood and the airway could make noise as it releases air.

In conclusion, Wu Jie believed that if Tang Xiao really wanted to kill him, she would have no shortage of methods.

But her chokehold this time seemed more like showing off, a way to deter Wu Jie.

Of course, it was also his own fault for being overly confident, thinking that if he ambushed her, Tang Xiao wouldn’t fight back.

Who knew…

to strike so mercilessly!

Inside the bathroom.

Tang Xiao, who was brushing her teeth and washing her face, smiled even more happily than she had in the morning.

Not only because her body had fully recovered and she could move without limitations, but also because she had successfully landed another heavy punch on Wu Jie.

“Hmph!

I’m not someone to be trifled with!”

“Just wait till I return to my peak condition, dare to provoke me again and I’ll cripple you for sure!”

Mumbling indistinctly with a mouthful of toothpaste, after rinsing and washing her face, Tang Xiao looked at herself in the mirror.

With a faint smile on her face, there was a hardly concealed pride in her eyes.

“So it turns out that beating up thugs can make me this happy!

From now on, whenever I’m feeling down or unhappy, I’ll just beat him up!!”

Having made up her mind, Tang Xiao dried her face and hummed a tune as she headed back to her room.

Wu Jie was lying on the bed, and as he saw Tang Xiao returning with a smile on her face, he couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

“You’re really biting the hand that feeds you!”

“Haven’t I always treated you well?

Yet you treat me like this; aren’t you afraid of breaking my neck and killing me?”

Tang Xiao climbed into bed and casually picked up a tablet, speaking in an indifferent tone:

“Don’t worry, if I really end up killing you, I’ll take good care of your parents and remain a widow till the end of my days!”

“If I’m dead, what’s the damn use of you being a widow!”

Wu Jie glanced at the tablet interface and asked with a frown, “The bidding document for the East Africa SAM project?”

“Yeah!

The bidding is next week, hopefully, we can win this multi-billion Gold Coin project!”

With that, Tang Xiao started to read the document seriously.

If my wife, with assets over a hundred billion, is still working this hard, then as her husband, I can’t fall behind, right?

So Wu Jie decided to play King first, then go for a round of Battlegrounds.

After getting energized by teammates who played like pigs, he finally opened the dreaded work group chat.

Checking the daily briefings from each department’s heads.

The company was operating steadily, the software was running smoothly, and the figures were continuing to rise.

The cash distribution event was also continuously attracting more original creators to join with its influence.

Chu Yunxuan also posted a document in the group.

The first batch of advertising catalogs and product classifications were clearly outlined in the spreadsheet.

As a newly viral platform with a surge in traffic, the initial round of ad promotions was naturally the most attractive.

So advertisers were very proactive, offering very good compensation.

Though it was still far from others who earn tens of billions from advertising in a year, Great Qing is just getting started!

After reading all the briefings, Wu Jie gave his instructions one by one.

Telling the HR and Administration departments to speed up the signing of work contracts, designing of salary packages, and drafting of various management regulations…

Telling the Marketing and Advertising departments to pull in more high-quality advertising resources, create beautiful ads…

Telling the Technology department…

Deng Hua was recently busy keeping a close watch on the software, while Wu Jie had to take on the responsibilities of the acting general manager.

Just as he finished each command, Wu Jie suddenly caught Tang Xiao staring at him from the corner of his eye.

“The company is just starting, and using a friend’s group chat is fine for now, but in the future, you must use an office automation OA system, which is secure and convenient, and many things can be directly borrowed from the group’s existing system, saving time and effort to let your team focus more on operations!”

“Besides, you’ve hired your old classmate Deng Hua to manage the whole company, right?

Many things you should just need to tell him, let him think and execute, rather than needing to arrange everything yourself.

What’s the point of having him as the general manager then?”

“If I did what you’re doing, with over twenty subsidiaries to manage, I’d be busy worrying and managing all day long if I had to give instructions to each one.

You need to learn strategic deployment and let your subordinates execute the tactics!”

…

This is Wu Jie’s first time being a boss.

Compared to the inexperienced Bai Fengling and Fang Qingya, he just had three more years of working experience at the grassroots level.

Without ever having been a boss before, naturally, he didn’t know how to manage flexibly and operate efficiently.

So Tang Xiao was kindly reminding him and also giving him some education.

Wu Jie turned around.

Looking at Tang Xiao, who spoke seriously and looked particularly invested, he felt heart-warmed and comforted.

“With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!”

Tang Xiao snorted lightly, “Do I count as your wife?

I’m just pretend, remember!”

“One day, you’ll be real!” Wu Jie said with a wink and a smile.

“Keep dreaming!

When you fall asleep, your dream will come true!”

Tang Xiao turned over, curled up with her own blanket, and turned off the light to sleep.

Wu Jie moved closer to Tang Xiao but before he could speak, Tang Xiao coldly warned him:

“Even though the bed is large, don’t push your luck.

The center line of the bed is the boundary; you’d better not encroach on my territory.

Otherwise, I can’t predict what might happen to you!”

Wu Jie exclaimed, “Come on!

This is like primary school students drawing lines; if I cross it I’m a beast, if not, am I worse than a beast?”

Tang Xiao snorted coldly and threatened:

“Would you like to try it?

I assure you, you won’t even have the chance to be a beast!”

This tone, full of threat.

It certainly didn’t sound like a joke…
