NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26 New Security Guard!
Night falls deep, in Chu Renxiong's study.
"Godfather, you called me here tonight. Is there something you want to discuss?" Chu Yan respectfully stood in front of the desk and asked Chu Renxiong.
Sitting on an expensive redwood chair, Chu Renxiong said nothing, smoking with smoke swirling around him.
Chu Yan felt inexplicably guilty, wondering if his godfather knew everything that happened tonight.
No matter how invincible he was outside, in front of Chu Renxiong, he always felt like a greenhorn. Whatever he did, it was seen through by the experienced Chu Renxiong, which made him feel more fear than respect and often too suppressed to raise his head.
Like now, although Chu Renxiong said nothing, the invisible pressure made Chu Yan dare not breathe loudly, his gaze intentionally avoiding, even a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Finally, Chu Renxiong extinguished the cigarette in his hand and spoke, "You think you are clever, handling Dynasty's matter behind my back. It seems like you did it for my sake, pleasing both sides, but it's actually because you voluntarily contacted Jian Hongsheng, making him owe you a favor."
"Godfather, I..."
"These years, you feel I've been suppressing you, not giving you more opportunities to make connections with people you find useful. So you've become restless and started to act on your own, haven't you?" Chu Renxiong asked indifferently.
"Godfather, I was wrong! I shouldn't have done it, I am guilty!" Chu Yan knew that saying anything was futile because Chu Renxiong had already seen through all his schemes. He felt like Sun the Monkey unable to escape the Five Finger Mountain in front of Chu Renxiong and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
"I'll say it again, it's not that I'm not giving you opportunities, it's because you are too young. Being young and impetuous is not good; when you learn to bide your time and wait for the right moment, it won't be too late for me to give you a chance." Chu Renxiong said calmly.
"Yes! Godfather, I will heed your teachings." Chu Yan touched his head to the ground, sweating like rain.
"Go back, and do not repeat it, or you will lose everything you have now!" Chu Renxiong said in an emotionless tone.
"Yes, yes!!" Chu Yan kept kowtowing, then stood up and left with a pale face, fearing that Chu Renxiong would change his mind.
However, as he walked out, his face was full of resentment!
…
In Yi Garden Apartment, Jiang Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, operating the "Heaven Slaying Demon Technique," and the ginseng on the table instantly withered.
The life essence qi contained in the ginseng transformed into a wisp of invisible black qi, absorbed into Jiang Feng's body and pooled into his dantian.
At this point, the vast dantian of Jiang Feng was finally replenished with a wisp of energy.
But it was still far from enough. His current power was not even a fraction of that in his previous life!
To restore his peak cultivation from his past life, it was a long and heavy journey ahead, but he was not in a hurry.
Living in the present, he had many matters to deal with, and his current strength was sufficient. To return to the Cultivation Worlds to personally assassinate Ming Yougui and Yan Pan was just a matter of time.
…
Having practiced the cultivation technique all night without sleep, Jiang Feng felt invigorated and full of qi-blood as the morning dawned.
He walked out of the room and saw Nangong Qingcheng, fully dressed, already sitting in the living room waiting.
"Jiang Feng, there was something I forgot to mention last night. Although our relationship doesn't need to be deliberately concealed, the company people still don't know, and I don't want them to misunderstand anything, so—" Nangong Qingcheng looked levelly at Jiang Feng. She wasn't concerned about their relationship being made public, but she was considering Jiang Feng's feelings, fearing that people would gossip about him.
The rumors are scary, the label of living off a woman is unpleasant to hear.
"Understood, in your company or even at the Binhai University you're about to attend, there's no need to publicize our relationship. At the company, I'll just be an ordinary employee. At school, I'm your bodyguard." Jiang Feng nodded calmly.
Although not a student at Binhai University, slipping in as an auditing student to protect Nangong Qingcheng wasn't too difficult.
Nangong Qingcheng furrowed her brow slightly, feeling once more that Jiang Feng had changed from before, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly how. She nodded gently and said no more.
After having breakfast together, they went to the company.
Fengming Trading Company's storefront was located on a commercial street behind Binhai University's back gate, in a building along the street with two floors, with a considerable warehouse at the back.
The ground floor was set as a reception hall, the second floor was for offices and a small meeting room, and the warehouse was for storing goods.
Including Nangong Qingcheng, there were only six people in the whole company. Nangong Qingcheng handled procurement by herself, and a person was specifically hired for physical sales. The remaining three were also girls, but they rarely came to the company. Like the original Nangong Qingcheng, they engaged in sales for Fengming through online platforms, TaoBao, and WeChat, akin to part-time work.
In addition, there was another security guard like Jiang Feng.
Although the company was not large, it managed a wide variety of projects, selling all sorts of popular items on the Internet and WeChat like women's clothes, cosmetics, facial masks, and shoes.
Fengming Trading itself did not produce anything. It engaged only in product trading, mostly using customers' money to purchase from manufacturers and then selling to customers, similar to a brokerage firm.
Nangong Qingcheng intended to familiarize Jiang Feng with the environment, but she answered a call from a supplier asking her to verify a purchase invoice. She then had to shout to the second-floor office, "Sister Zhiqing, come down for a moment!"
With the sound of clacking heels on the floor, a stunning beauty who looked a few years older than Nangong Qingcheng came down the stairs. Her long white dress outlined her dazzlingly graceful figure. Her snow-white, slender feet wore a pair of high-heeled crystal sandals, with ten toenails painted bright red. Her elegant face held a pair of large, curious eyes: "Qingcheng, you called me?"
"Sister Zhiqing, let me introduce you to the new security guard I hired." Nangong Qingcheng pointed at Jiang Feng.
"Oh." Bai Zhiqing nodded. She was aware a new security guard had to be hired due to the current high warehouse inventory since the recruitment announcement wasn't even released yet. Still, Nangong Qingcheng had already brought someone back.
"Hello, I'm Bai Zhiqing." Bai Zhiqing approached Jiang Feng with a gentle fragrance and extended her smooth, jade-like hand with a smile.
Jiang Feng shook it briefly, feeling her tender hand, but he withdrew after a brief moment.
"Xiao Feng, Sister Zhiqing is in charge of sales and is my most effective assistant." Nangong Qingcheng added.
Jiang Feng nodded, "Supervisor Bai, please take care of me."
"Oh my, don't worry, brother. You're personally brought by Qingcheng, which makes you a 'special talent.' As your elder sister, I'll surely look out for you." Bai Zhiqing joked with a smile, "Our Fengming is booming, so stick around and work hard. If we grow strong, you'll also be one of the veterans."
"Sister Zhiqing, please show him around while I handle something."
"Alright Qingcheng, you go ahead!" Bai Zhiqing nodded, then lightly flicked her hair with her jade hand and smiled, "Brother, follow me!"
Jiang Feng glanced at Bai Zhiqing's swaying figure in front, her waist like a sinuous snake, and thought of a term: natural allure!
