961: Chapter 936: The Self-Cultivation of a Spare Tire!

Jiahuan City International Airport.

With a humming sound, the plane landed smoothly.

Nowadays, commercial airliners no longer restrict the use of cell phones, but there’s hardly any signal high in the sky.

Once the plane touched down and there was a signal, many passengers began making calls and sending messages.

The sounds of talking and ringing phones buzzed inside the cabin.

Wu Jie, who had been resting with his eyes closed, did not take out his cell phone.

It wasn’t until he exited the plane and entered the terminal that his phone started ringing.

Without guessing, he knew it had to be the driver arranged by his father-in-law, Tang Long, calling.

After finishing the call and hanging up, Wu Jie then saw that Tang Xiao had sent an unread text message.

What could the message say?

Hesitating for half a second, Wu Jie did not open it.

He hurried to meet the driver and got into the recently popular Tianwei SUV.

This SUV model, which had been selling like hotcakes, had sparked a trend in many major cities.

If not for the limited supply, it would probably have become as common as the Volkswagens and Santanas of the past, a car you’d see everywhere.

Wu Jie did not ask the driver to take him to a restaurant to eat; he had already filled up with Zhang Hao before his arrival, so he directed the driver straight to the project department in Science Research City.

The driver was from the logistics department of the Yuan Shan Mountain expressway, so during the drive, Wu Jie learned about the situation.

Since construction started, this expressway, costing over two hundred million per kilometer, had been under nonstop construction day and night.

Apart from the orderly constructions like tunnels, bridges, and service areas, the other flat stretches of road were nearly complete.

They didn’t need to wait until the end of the year; parts of it were expected to start trial operation.

So Mrs.

Chu Yunxuan, the company’s general manager, had been focusing on the Science Research City project with a staggering investment of hundreds of billions.

To the driver, the importance of this project was self-evident.

Even President Tang Xiao had been there for several days, running around every day with Mrs.

Chu…

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.

How could the driver know that his words were so grating to Wu Jie?

Damn it!

While I was living a monk-like existence in the test building, Tang Xiao was out here, cozying up with Chu Yunxuan.

Although the Science Research City project required a huge investment, it was currently in the midst of intensive construction.

And Liuli Continent, known as the ‘Infrastructure Maniac,’ was now the world’s leader in the field of construction.

With complete blueprints and abundant financial investment, all that was needed was proper supervision.

Why would she need to be running around the site?

Acting as a construction supervisor or a brick-moving laborer?

Feeling frustrated, Wu Jie grew even more enraged.

The driver talked on for a while, but seeing that Wu Jie had little interest, he let out a chuckle and stopped chatting.

Wu Jie, seated in the back, activated the air purification feature through the rear touchscreen panel, then lit a cigarette.

Looking at the city lights flashing by through the car window, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He remembered that Tang Xiao had sent a text message earlier, but he didn’t know what it said.

He unlocked his phone and opened the message.

A single line of text stunned Wu Jie.

“I’m hungry, can you cook for me one last time?”

He read it over once more.

Including the time the message was sent.

She’s hungry!

Hungry!!

Wu Jie scoffed internally.

Damn it!

The thousands of people working on the Science Research City project, don’t they have a cafeteria?

As the president of a top 500 company in the world, is it possible for her to go hungry?

Of course, that wasn’t the point.

The point was ‘one last time.’

What does that mean?

‘One last time’ cooking for her, is it speaking of the last supper?

Does it imply a final goodbye?

There are few things more painful in life than the separation from loved ones.

But after Tang Xiao’s old injury was healed and her body returned to its peak condition, healthier than the average person, she naturally wasn’t about to die.

So…

“It looks like this is a subtle way of saying she wants to divorce me!”

Muttering to himself, Wu Jie immediately deleted the message.

Cook?

Cook your sister!

Doesn’t she have Chu Yunxuan now?

That bewitchingly charming vixen, can’t she cook?

And freaking ‘one last time’!

No contact for ten days, and when a call comes, it’s to make me work at the project department, and when a message comes, it’s to have me cook for you!

Damn it!

Am I an employee or a slave?

Even a clay figure has a point where it’ll explode in anger!

Wu Jie had always thought that he was more than good enough to Tang Xiao, short of literally giving his heart and soul.

She was tormented by an old injury and suffered greatly, and although Wu Jie had little energy at the beginning, he exchanged it for the Marrow Cleansing Pill to cure her.

She wanted to win the SAM project in Fort Island; using the insight ability was particularly damaging to the body, and I risked my life to help her win the bid.

She was afraid of thunderstorms due to post-traumatic stress disorder from war, and I spent sleepless nights holding and comforting her.

Whenever she said she was hungry, I would get up and cook for her at any time, trying my best to ensure she ate and drank well and built up her strength.

The entire world was embroiled in the Sakuragi Hana virus crisis, causing international order to be in chaos.

Detox Pills became a sought-after miracle drug at exorbitant prices, more profitable than Graphene Composite Batteries or the GodSnap APP software…

But with all the lucrative business, I didn’t get involved, handing over a large sum of money for her to manage, giving her my utmost trust.

Even if the system wouldn’t allow it, I was willing to share my biggest secret with her.

But what was the result?

My many sacrifices could not outweigh her wild night of drinking with Chu Yunxuan.

There is nothing more sorrowful than a heart turning cold.

Putting away his phone, Wu Jie took a deep puff of his cigarette, reclined in the back seat, and decided to get some sleep.

He had been busy around the clock previously, working to come up with a fusion reactor for Blue Planet as quickly as possible and had hardly slept well.

He didn’t get enough sleep on the plane, so now he continued to catch up on his rest.

…

At the project department of Science Research City.

Chu Yunxuan felt dazed and confused, unable to comprehend it all.

He skipped dinner and locked himself in his room, unable to figure out what he had done wrong.

As the president of the company, Tang Xiao took great interest and care in the hugely invested, significant Science Research City project.

He reported to her daily as a routine, and after she arrived on site, he accompanied her at all times…

Wasn’t that supposed to be the right thing to do?

Why was it that when he was preparing to return to the project office in the evening and went to notify Tang Long and his daughter, he was furiously scolded by Tang Long!

That roaring shout of “Get out!” still echoed in his mind like thunder, reverberating again and again.

“I’ve been working hard, making sacrifices without complaint, accompanying without minding the troubles…

Where did I go wrong?”

“Could it be that I am not the one at fault?

Was he scolding President Tang and was just upset, and I ended up taking the bullet for it?”

“But why was he scolding President Tang?

Did President Tang do something wrong?

And why scold and shout at me…”

“Could it be…”

Chu Yunxuan kept reflecting on himself, when suddenly he remembered the crazy drunkenness of that night.

Could it be that incident was discovered by Tang Long?

That can’t be right!

President Tang surely wouldn’t confess, and Jie certainly wouldn’t snitch.

After all, it was a shameful matter that was hard to speak of.

Then how did Tang Long find out?

The more Chu Yunxuan thought about it, the more confused he became, completely unable to figure out what had happened.

After pondering for a while, he decided to give Wu Jie a call.

Judging by the time, Wu Jie should have arrived at Jiahuan City.

He didn’t know if it was through the Security Bureau’s private jet or a commercial airliner; in Chu Yunxuan’s mind, Wu Jie’s identity was too mysterious.

The call connected quickly.

“Jie, it’s Yunxuan here.

Have you arrived at Jiahuan City yet?”

There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone before a seemingly listless “Hmm” was heard.

Wu Jie hadn’t expected that after all this time, Chu Yunxuan would still have the face to call him.

However, Chu Yunxuan was completely unaware of what had happened or what was about to happen.

Hearing Wu Jie’s response, he felt extra happy.

“So Jie, are you coming over in a Security Bureau’s car now?

Do they know where the project office is?

Do you want me to arrange some late-night snacks for you…”

Chu Yunxuan asked several questions in succession.

After patiently listening, Wu Jie replied coldly,

“I didn’t trouble the Security Bureau.

It was Luo from your company’s logistics department who came to pick me up.

Didn’t your father-in-law tell you?”

“Also, no need to prepare late-night snacks.

I ate dinner before boarding the plane.

You’d better be concerned about your President Tang; she surely hasn’t had dinner!”

Chu Yunxuan instinctively acknowledged with a “Hmm,” but immediately raised her eyebrows.

Wu Jie’s tone of voice was off!

It sounded sour, full of ridicule, and sarcasm…

“No, Jie, I don’t understand what you are saying!

What about ‘my President Tang’?

What exactly happened today?

Before it got dark, I…”

Chu Yunxuan couldn’t hold back and mentioned the incident where Tang Long had yelled at her to get out in the evening.

“…I really don’t know what I did wrong.

I’m neither corrupt nor have I abused my power for personal gain.

Why did he angrily tell me to get out?

His tone was so fierce; if I’m not doing my job well, he could just fire me.

Was it necessary to get that angry?”

“I’ve already made a mess of things at your company before, Jie.

Having come to Yuan Shan City, I’ve turned over a new leaf.

I’ve been doing my utmost to do my job well every day.

President Tang cares about the project, and no matter how late, I report to her.”

“Since being in charge of two subsidiaries, I have been working from dawn to dusk, fearful of making any mistakes.

Sleeping with thoughts of the expressway and the Science Research City in my head.

Could it be simply because I drunkenly fell asleep with President Tang one night, he should scold me?”

“That night, both she and I had too much to drink, and under unclear consciousness, something happened…”

The more Chu Yunxuan spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, with a sour nose full of injustice.

Wu Jie on the other end of the phone was naturally also somewhat baffled.

“Wait!”

“Are you saying you have no other intentions toward President Tang?”

What???

Chu Yunxuan exclaimed in surprise.

“What are you talking about, Jie?

Haven’t I always told you?”

“I, Chu Yunxuan, belong to you in life and in death; in this life, I recognize only you as my man!”

“How could I possibly be entangled with President Tang?

You don’t think I could be your rival in love, do you?”

“I’m yours, and I’ll do whatever you ask of me.

I am loyal to you through and through; how could I possibly be with President Tang…”

Wu Jie interrupted with a question, “What about President Tang’s feelings toward you?

Don’t you find that strange?”

Chu Yunxuan immediately replied,

“I don’t know either!

But I feel like she really, really values these two projects, often talks to me about them, and sometimes about other things as well!”

“But honestly, she is the group president, my direct boss; if she wants to talk, dare I not respond?

If she comes to inspect the project site, can I not accompany her?

Actually…

actually I’ve been irritated for a long time!”

“I’ve been wondering, with these two projects being in the construction phase and everything going particularly well, with the group having so many subsidiaries, so many businesses, and projects, why is she always focusing on me?”

“I always thought she doubted my ability, fearing I couldn’t shoulder the responsibility of these billions, and maybe because of my past mistakes, she wasn’t fully trusting me.”

“Anyway, Jie, you have to believe me, I could never be unfaithful to you, nor betray you.

Even if you asked me to die, I would be willing; how could I possibly become your rival in love?

I haven’t taken the wrong medication, nor have I gone mad!”

…

Chu Yunxuan was very agitated, speaking with a sense of urgency.

Being wronged and misunderstood easily leads one to become emotionally agitated, speaking quickly, wanting to explain and clear things up.

Wu Jie quietly thought it over.

It seemed unlikely that Chu Yunxuan would…

The last time they came over to climb the mountain and visit the countryside, enduring the blazing sun, they looked for those difficult to relocate households.

Chu Yunxuan never complained or whined, always following by his side, absolutely loyal and devoted.

And in the workplace, you’re not always in control.

If a leader wants a late-night talk, if they want to come for inspection, if they want accompaniment…

No matter how uncomfortable you feel inside, you still have to smile and welcome them, right?

So that means…

Tang Xiao is deluding herself?

However, Chu Yunxuan, as his loyal backup, also lacks self-discipline.

With a silent sigh, Wu Jie interrupted Chu Yunxuan’s lament.

“Alright, don’t feel wronged and aggrieved.

My father-in-law was just furious at the moment!”

“From now on, if you feel mistreated or upset, tell me in time to avoid misunderstandings.”

“As for me and President Tang…

no matter what happens tonight, don’t leave your house!”

…
