Chapter 730: 730: This is Too Thrilling, Isn't It?
An Nuonuo: “???”
Chu Youwei: “???”
Jiang Xiaoyan: “???”
“!!” Panic flashed in the mourner’s eyes, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
At this time, no one knew his secret, but Jiang Xu knew he liked men.
The Fruit Company had not become the ‘Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch’ yet.
If their CEO’s secret like this were to be exposed, it would be a severe blow to them.
Jiang Xu looked the man up and down, “Guess why I know about this matter?”
The mourner’s face changed.
Jiang Xu continued, “Now guess, do I have any photos or videos of you being affectionate with your boyfriend?”
The mourner’s face changed again.
If you looked closely, you would see his body was trembling slightly.
Of course, Jiang Xu didn’t have such things.
But that didn’t stop him from bluffing big.
Although the mourner wasn’t as capable as the previous CEO,
in the past life, she had been in that position for many years, indeed resulting in year-on-year growth in sales of Fruit phones.
So, getting rid of this guy would be like cutting off a limb from Fruit phones.
“You’d better resign yourself,” Jiang Xu suddenly leaned in closer.
In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, “Otherwise, I assure you, videos of you and your boyfriend will appear on major media around the world.
Not only would you lose face then, you would also damage the reputation of the entire Fruit Company.
You would be fired and would have to compensate the company a large sum for reputational damage.
If I were you, I’d resign now and save the compensation fee.”
The mourner’s face changed and changed again, then he scoffed coldly, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old? Do you think a few words will make me believe you?”
Jiang Xu: “Sure, then give me your email, and I’ll send you a few photos to start with.”
The mourner had originally thought Jiang Xu was just putting on airs.
But after hearing his words, his heart couldn’t help sinking a bit.
Still, he didn’t entirely believe Jiang Xu and gave him his email address before leaving in a huff.
After he left, Jiang Xiaoyan immediately grabbed Jiang Xu’s arm.
Her face full of gossip, “Was what you just said true or false?”
An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei couldn’t help but perk up their ears.
But their eyes were darting left and right,
acting like they wanted to listen, but were too embarrassed to show it too clearly.
Jiang Xu said with irritation, “Why do you need to know so much about such things?”
Jiang Xiaoyan: “Actually, I don’t really want to know, but a friend of mine is very interested. Just tell me about it, will you?”
Jiang Xu looked at An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei, “Do you two also want to know?”
An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei instinctively nodded, then quickly shook their heads.
In unison, they said, “No no no, I don’t want to know, not at all.”
Jiang Xu was speechless.
Couldn’t even lie, he nodded, “Yes, what I just said was all true.”
“Wow, that’s so thrilling,” Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes sparkled, “So between the two of them, who takes the dominant position?”
Jiang Xu: “…”
He couldn’t help but knock Jiang Xiaoyan on the head, “Is it appropriate for a girl to ask such things?”
Jiang Xiaoyan: “I’ve already said it’s not me who wants to know, it’s a friend of mine.”
Jiang Xu waved it off, “Alright, alright, let’s not discuss this any further, let’s go home early after we’ve eaten.”
At the dinner table, Jiang Xiaoyan still pestered him several times about the matter between the two men.
Although An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei acted like they didn’t care much, their ears were pricked up.
As expected.
No matter the type of girl, they can’t resist such gossip.
But Jiang Xu didn’t want to say too much about such things, because he found them quite disgusting.
Seeing that Jiang Xu was unwilling to elaborate, all three girls were quite disappointed.
Suddenly, an idea struck Jiang Xiaoyan.
She took out her phone and sent a message to An Nuonuo.
An Nuonuo’s phone vibrated.
She picked it up, glanced at it, and then looked at Jiang Xiaoyan curiously.
Jiang Xiaoyan, on the other hand, was looking down and did not meet An Nuonuo’s gaze.
An Nuonuo opened the message that Jiang Xiaoyan had sent.
It read: “Nuonuo, when you guys head back later, pry a little, listen for some gossip, I want to know the details.”
An Nuonuo: Huh?
Jiang Xiaoyan: Don’t you want to know a bit more about the juicy details of such exciting matters?
An Nuonuo: I… I don’t really want to know either.
However, as this message was sent, An Nuonuo’s response clearly lacked confidence.
Jiang Xiaoyan: Please, please, I really want to know. Don’t make me beg you.
An Nuonuo: …Okay, okay, I’m asking just for Sister Xiao Yan, it’s not like I want to know myself.
Jiang Xiaoyan: I understand, I understand.
Everyone finished their meal.
And went their separate ways home.
“Brother Xu, I’ve prepared your bathwater.”
“I’ve also got your clothes ready.”
“Brother Xu, do you want a glass of red wine while you’re soaking in the bath?”
“Brother Xu, you look exceptionally handsome today.”
…
Jiang Xu watched as An Nuonuo bustled about, and then, out of character, showered him with flattery.
He snickered to himself right away.
He didn’t need to guess to know it was definitely because of that piece of gossip.
Jiang Xu pretended not to notice her ulterior motive.
Lying in the bathtub, he said languidly, “Nuonuo, get me a drink.”
“Okay, coming right up.”
An Nuonuo quickly placed a glass of red wine in front of Jiang Xu.
She also thoughtfully added some snacks.
Jiang Xu: “My neck feels a bit stiff.”
“Alright, Brother Xu, I’ll give you a massage right now.”
An Nuonuo sat behind Jiang Xu, her fair, slender, and soft hands rested on his neck, gently pressing down.
The pressure was just right, not too soft, not too hard.
Jiang Xu felt so comfortable that he squinted his eyes.
As if not too bothered, he said, “Nuonuo, you wouldn’t happen to have a favor to ask me, would you?”
An Nuonuo panicked at heart and quickly shook her head: “No, I… I just…”
“Just felt that Brother Xu must be really tired from the day’s work, and I wanted to help you relax.”
Jiang Xu: “You better be.”
An Nuonuo: “…”
Why did it feel like she had been caught?
Jiang Xu found it amusing inside.
This unusually nervous An Nuonuo was quite a rare sight indeed.
This made Jiang Xu not help but want to tease her a little more.
After bathing, Jiang Xu lay on the bed.
An Nuonuo was again eagerly attentive.
She was clearly trying to conceal her little ulterior motives.
But to any discerning eye, they were plainly visible.
Jiang Xu had to stop himself from laughing several times but managed to hold it in.
“Nuonuo, I’m thirsty, fetch me a cup of water.”
“Oh, okay.”
And so, the silly Nuonuo went off to the living room to get water.
By the time An Nuonuo brought the water in, she saw that Jiang Xu had already fallen asleep.
He seemed to be… sleeping quite peacefully?
