Chapter 466: 100,000 Food Vouchers
Xu Xiangbei returned to Purple Gold Villa, it was already midnight, feeling extremely exhausted.
The main reason was that avoiding the pursuit of four beauties consumed a lot of energy; they were hypnotized, and he couldn’t harm them, making the fight particularly tiring.
Not only did he feel tired, Xiao Lin and Ouyang Jiahui were also exhausted to the point of collapse, feeling sore and weak all over after reaching the bedroom, as if they had run a marathon.
Xu Xiangbei led them around the office, not knowing how many laps they ran, both were wearing high heels, their fair and tender feet were rubbed raw.
What scared them the most was not knowing what they did after being hypnotized; their minds were blank.
They didn’t even have the strength to remove their makeup and fell on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Xu Xiangbei was about to shower when he heard the courtyard gate being roughly opened and closed heavily, Ah Rong had returned.
He could only confess his mistake otherwise, he would be worried about a grenade being tossed in while he showered.
He smiled as he sat in the living room watching Ah Rong: "Sorry, I could only use the stun gun to knock you out, otherwise I couldn’t deal with Wind Valley; when you were hypnotized, you had me fleeing desperately..."
Ah Rong glared at Xu Xiangbei, paused for two seconds in front of him: "Besides electrocuting me, you didn’t do anything else to me, right?"
Xu Xiangbei smiled wryly: "Of course not, holding the Curved Saber like a knight charging, if I dodged a little slower, I’d have been done for."
Ah Rong took off her backpack, pulled out the gleaming Half Moon Saber, her mouth slightly raised with a hint of ridicule: "Now you know the power of my Half Moon Saber? I’m not mad at you for stunning me, I’m mad at you for not listening to me, being passive everywhere, causing me to be hypnotized too, we almost killed each other. This time I forgive you, but next time, you better heed my advice — everything I do is to protect you."
Xu Xiangbei smiled lightly, with a hint of apology in his eyes: "Sorry, I didn’t know that guy would hypnotize several people at once, thanks for protecting me, we’re pretty lucky, aren’t we?"
Ah Rong returned to her guest room: "We’re really only left with luck. I want to use the bathroom to shower, wait until I’m done, or you can go upstairs."
Seeing Ah Rong no longer angry, Xu Xiangbei felt much more relaxed and returned to his bedroom: "I don’t feel like showering, I’ll do it in the morning, goodnight."
"Goodnight."
The morning sun streamed through the gaps in the curtains, warming his body, Xu Xiangbei jumped up from the bed — he slept deeply, it was already past nine in the morning, definitely late for work.
Though he’s the president, no one marks attendance, being late in front of employees is still disgraceful.
He stiffly got off the bed, surprisingly found no missed calls on his phone; strange, did everyone forget he’s their president and don’t report work?
Suddenly, he laughed, today is Sunday, no wonder there’s no phone harassment, yesterday was Saturday, the company celebration party, most employees are on vacation, some probably sleeping soundly, others shopping or having fun.
Approaching the door, he heard Ouyang Jiahui chirping like a bird in the living room, still complaining about the hundred thousand Emperor’s Pavilion food vouchers.
Xu Xiangbei readied himself mentally and walked into the living room, as expected, Ouyang Jiahui immediately grabbed his arm, afraid he’d run away.
"Dear President Xu, you finally woke up. The hundred thousand Emperor’s Pavilion food vouchers you gave us, how do we spend them? Should we spend it on you, inviting you for a meal?"
Xu Xiangbei reached out and stroked Ouyang Jiahui’s clever and pretty nose: "My dear niece, I know you can’t spend it, I’ll buy back the hundred thousand Emperor’s Pavilion vouchers and convert them into cash for you, is that alright?"
Ouyang Jiahui shook her explosive pomelo hair and finally smiled contentedly.
Sitting at the dining table, Xiao Lin, with delicate white hands, gently stirred coffee with a spoon: "Didn’t I say, Brother Xu wouldn’t give you a hundred thousand food vouchers, with how you eat, it could last a lifetime."
"That’s why I don’t want vouchers, I only want cash, if I really got a hundred thousand vouchers, it’d be impossible to eat them all, I’d end up giving them away, the luckiest one would probably be Lu Xiaomei, she’s a big foodie — ten thousand vouchers could be eaten halfway by her."
Xu Xiangbei scoffed: "Dear niece, this isn’t yours, is it? It’s the grand prize Xiao Lin won for her guqin performance, has nothing to do with you, right?"
"I’m her agent, negotiating and dealing with you on her behalf."
The pleasant sound of the doorbell rang outside; a guest arrived, someone familiar by visiting the villa at this time.
Though far from the door, Xu Xiangbei still recognized the familiar footsteps, he put down his coffee cup and smiled at Ouyang Jiahui: "My dear niece, go open the door, your Brother Shen is here."
Ouyang Jiahui seemed fond of Shen Congru, hearing he arrived, she smiled and ran to open the door, pausing at the door with doubt: "How do you know Brother Shen? Do you have x-ray vision?"
"Nine times out of ten, it’s him."
Indeed, Shen Congru’s gentlemanly voice came from outside: "Is President Xu home? Which lovely lady would please open the door, it’s Shen Congru."
"Brother Shen, you’re here."
"Sister Ouyang, hello, haven’t been rushing articles these days."
"Taking a break today, just finished the deadline, the next issue isn’t for over half a month, no need to rush."
Shen Congru’s gaze stopped on Xiao Lin, much hotter: "Miss Xiao, your guqin playing is incredibly moving, truly a melody from heaven, rarely heard on earth; you’re not only beautiful, but your musical prowess is extraordinary — when our commercial bank holds a banquet, we must invite Miss Xiao to play a guqin piece."
Xiao Lin’s delicate face blushed: "Thank you, Young Master Shen, for the compliment."
Seeing Shen Congru focus on Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin upon arrival, Xu Xiangbei, who was less amused, blocked Shen Congru: "Are you looking for me or them, treating me like I’m invisible."
Shen Congru laughed: "Of course, I’m here for you, but ignoring beauties would be quite rude, wouldn’t it?"
Ouyang Jiahui served Shen Congru coffee with a sweet smile: "Naturally, Young Master Shen comes from a noble family, not only does business, but also values etiquette, unlike some who only take advantage of girls."
Xu Xiangbei smiled wryly: "Don’t beat around the bush with me, I didn’t take advantage of you."
