Chapter 144: 144 Trials of the Heavenly Dao

Jiang Xuan smiled.

"You must be wondering, if the Jiang Family wants to hire a spokesperson, why ask for your opinion?"

Xu He, with her hand under the table, pinched Xia Yuzheng.

How did Mr. Jiang know what they were thinking?

And word for word, no less!

Being so understanding, he would surely be caring in the future.

What to do, she seemed to find this Hou Sheng rather pleasing to the eye!

Xia Yuzheng caught Xu He’s hand in response, to stop her from moving.

Facing Jiang Xuan, he smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, the choice of a spokesperson for the Jiang Family should indeed be led by you and decided in a meeting with the senior management. It’s inconvenient for us to chime in."

"On the contrary," Jiang Xuan put down his chopsticks with a serious tone and no trace of jest, "Your opinions will directly decide whether the Jiang Family can successfully sign the spokesperson..."

He faced their puzzled looks and cut straight to the point, "Because the spokesperson I have in mind is none other than your beloved daughter."

!!

The Xia Family now has two daughters.

But when Jiang Xuan spoke, his gaze was fixed on Xia Ye, giving her significant attention.

Thus, anyone would realize that when he mentioned "your beloved," he was certainly referring to the younger daughter by his side.

The dining table fell into an eerie silence, and the attending servants also showed their shock through expressions that came instinctively.

Only Xia Ye kept eating her meal in a leisurely manner.

Xu He remembered, Little Tiangao had mentioned that someone wanted her as a spokesperson.

It turned out, this was indeed not a scam.

However...

Xu He said, "Mr. Jiang, the thing is, Little Tiangao has not yet graduated. We don’t want to disrupt her studies. While being the spokesperson for the Jiang Family is a great honor, but..."

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, "Mrs. Xia can rest assured, the spokesperson for the Jiang Family’s summer new product is scheduled to be announced in July. The related activities will also commence only after July. By then, your beloved will have finished her college entrance exam, so there won’t be any conflicts."

"This..." Xu He glanced at Xia Yuzheng, uncertain.

For Xia Yuzheng, it had to be said, he was somewhat excited.

For many years, the Xia Family was always one step behind the Jiang Family.

He sent people to monitor the Jiang Family’s activities relentlessly.

But now, the person Mr. Jiang wasn’t sure he could hire, whom everyone believed to be an international superstar, turned out to be his younger daughter, Yeye?

And given that Mr. Jiang had broached the subject so formally today, it was definitely not a joke.

Xia Yuzheng was excited, indeed, but he neither agreed nor disagreed. Mr. Jiang wanted Yeye as a spokesperson, and since it wouldn’t affect her studies, it would depend on Yeye’s own willingness.

Jiang Xuan looked at him enigmatically for a moment, then suddenly cracked a smile, "If Mr. Xia can persuade your beloved, I can express additional sincerity on my part."

Xia Yuzheng was stunned, not immediately grasping the implication of his words.

Jiang Xuan’s voice was deep, seemingly carrying a dual nature of righteousness and mischief, "I know, Mr. Xia’s company has been focusing on next month’s tender since the first half of the year... If you can persuade your beloved, I am willing to represent the Jiang Family and decisively forfeit that tender."

The man looked at him imperiously, his demeanor stern.

In that moment, he resembled a profoundly inscrutable deity.

Xia Ye glanced at her friend without showing any reaction, and after a few seconds, continued to eat her meal.

Since the beginning of the year, Xia Yuzheng had been studying the tender, at that time, instructing his elder daughter to contact Jiang Yunyang more often in an attempt to get a whiff of the Jiang Family’s intentions.

Without the Jiang Family as a competitor, Xia Yuzheng could have confidently secured victory, but with them in the picture, their chances were slim.

So this condition presented to Xia Yuzheng was an irreplaceable and enormous temptation.

As long as he could persuade Xia Ye to become the spokesperson for the Jiang Family, he would secure this opportunity.

And being the spokesperson for the Jiang Family wasn’t a bad thing at all; in fact, it was something countless people desperately wanted.

But—

Xia Yuzheng still felt it was odd.

It seemed like he was being asked to sacrifice his daughter’s wishes in exchange for something...

If he were that kind of person, he wouldn’t have agreed to his daughter breaking off her engagement with the Jiang Family in the first place.

The eyes of the others at the table inevitably fell on Xia Yuzheng, but Xia Yuzheng only looked at Jiang Xuan and after a long pause, gave an awkward smile, "I’d rather listen to my daughter’s own opinion on this matter..."

Jiang Xuan was rejected, yet he didn’t show the slightest hint of displeasure.

On the contrary, the smile tugging at his lips seemed even warmer than before.

The irresistible allure felt like the golden axe thrown into the river by the River God.

If Xia Yuzheng picked up that golden axe, the consequences... might not fulfill his wishes.

On the other hand, by rejecting the temptation now, who knows, he might gain more...

He was a man easily swayed and somewhat old-fashioned, but thankfully, when it came to major issues, he still knew where to draw the line.

Xu He squeezed his hand reassuringly.

Xia Ye swallowed the rice in her mouth, her mood inexplicably lifted slightly, and looked at Jiang Xuan, "Uncle Jiang, if you are not in a hurry, may I think it over a bit more?"

The ancestors disliked trouble, but they loved hoarding little gold mountains!

Jiang Xuan’s eyes curved, "No rush. We can change the summer launch to autumn if necessary."

Heavenly Dao, the ruler of all things, was far from a kind and charitable entity.

His thoughts were deep and inscrutable, impossible to fathom or see clearly.

Except for one person.

In front of Xia Ye, he was clear and transparent, devoted solely to her and nothing else.

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan’s words, Xu He and Xia Yuzheng both narrowed their eyes simultaneously.

The formidable Mr. Jiang, in front of others, made no effort to hide his affection for their daughter.

These two weren’t sure whether to feel jealous or uneasy.

They just felt... today’s dinner tasted like dog food!

**

After the second mock exams, the senior year students hardly had any time to breathe before diving headlong into another round of revision.

The last two months that could change their fates, it was time to fight hard; from bicycles to motorcycles!

All class teachers were vigorously motivating their students, with the third mock exams in early May conducted across all Capital City high schools on the same paper as the college entrance exam.

There would be rankings for the class, grade, and the entire city!

In Class 19, more than half of the lunch break was over, and most students had returned to the classroom to review their mistakes.

The progress in their second mock exams had greatly boosted their confidence.

The female students, who had been losing sleep due to stress, were also improving; they weren’t greedy, and with conditions better, they didn’t bother Xia Ye and others for more Chewing Candy.

However, Class 19 now experienced a peculiar phenomenon: especially the girls, when they couldn’t solve a problem, liked to grab a small stool and sit next to Xia Ye for inspiration.

Others spoke of worshipping XXX to avoid failing, but Xia Ye’s friends didn’t need to pray—they just stayed near her and felt their minds exceptionally clear.

Now, Xia Ye had truly become the soul of Class 19, despite her being at the bottom of the class academically!

At this moment, it was no exception. Zhou Yao was sitting across from Xia Ye, with another pretty girl sitting on her side, while Tang Tianjiao was visibly sulking nearby.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the back door. Tang Tianjiao turned around, eyebrows raised in surprise, "Yo~ Isn’t that the elite class’s Tian Dashao? What brought you here?"
