Chapter 113 Mrs. Jiang's Skill in Controlling Her Husband

Jiang Shibai put down the chopsticks in his hand, the smile at the corner of his eyes deepened, and his tone was calm, "Go on."

Xu Xian simply put down his chopsticks, took a sip of soup to moisten his throat, and spoke carefully: "You originally wanted Manager Mo to be the general manager of the branch company. Now the timing is right, and you are taking advantage of the situation to do him a favor."

"People are all made of flesh and blood. Your approach does not violate the company's previous policy of prohibiting romance in the office. It easily resolves their romance and also lets Manager Mo know that you value him. Naturally, he will remember the company's preferential treatment of him."

"After he goes to the branch, as its leader, he will appreciate your kindness and work harder to create greater benefits for the company."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Shibai cast an admiring look at him. Xu Xian was a little too proud for a moment and blurted out flattery, "There are only a hundred benefits and no harm. Mr. Jiang is indeed a recognized old fox in the industry."

She had heard Tu Xue mention the company's annual meeting before, and she heard the partners discussing Jiang Shibai in a corner, saying that he was young and promising, a child of destiny, but was notoriously ruthless and decisive in the business world.

The title of 'Old Fox' came from when Tu Xue and Xu Xian talked about this matter together and gave him the name.

She felt that it fit Jiang Shibai's deep and scheming image and temperament very well.

The smile on Jiang Shibai's lips remained unchanged. He was almost immune to the word "old", but when the fox described him, was he sure he didn't mean that he was shrewd and worldly-wise with bad intentions?

"Boss Xu, are you praising me or scolding me?"

He picked up the warm boiled water beside him and took a sip slowly. His movements were elegant and dignified, and his every gesture was a reflection of the etiquette he had developed since childhood.

Xu Xian wouldn't admit that she was indeed thinking of scolding him. He played dumb and smiled sweetly, "Of course I'm praising you, Mr. Jiang, for being thoughtful and resourceful."

Jiang Shibai could tell that she was speaking insincerely, and a doting smile spread across his lips. "Since I'm a brave and resourceful old fox, then what is Mrs. Jiang?"

"A seductive vixen?"

Xu Xian choked, his smug smile froze, his brain working rapidly, his ethereal voice deliberately softened, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of provocation.

"Even if I am a fox spirit, you are not King Zhou. Mr. Jiang, you think too highly of yourself."

Jiang Shibai was unable to refute for a moment, and after a while he said quietly: "Since Mrs. Jiang doesn't want to be a vixen, then I can be a male vixen and seduce you."

Xu Xian had no way of refutation and could only glare at him fiercely, without any killing power at all.

Compared to bickering, without the element of cheating, she basically loses more than she wins.

Seeing her puffed up lips in anger, her soft and elastic cheeks flushed pink, like an inflated pufferfish, Jiang Shibai laughed secretly, but did not dare to provoke her again, for he was really afraid that she would be angry.

He brought the subject back to the point, "Besides these two reasons, do you have any other ideas?"

Xu Xian picked up the chopsticks again and just took a bite of the soft meat on the fish's belly when he heard his words.

She subconsciously slowed down the speed at which she chewed the fish, frowned deeply, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Was my answer incomplete?"

After thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a third reason.

"Well, you missed a reason." Jiang Shibai saw her eating fish, carefully picked up a piece of fish meat and picked out the fish bones inside.

Xu Xian frowned slightly, bit his lower lip lightly with the back of his teeth, and twisted his fingertips unconsciously, unable to think of any other reason.

After a while, she shook her head and answered honestly, "I can't think of it. Just tell me directly."

Jiang Shibai brought the fish meat with the bones picked out to her mouth. Xu Xian bit the fish meat with his chopsticks, and his rosy tongue tip rolled the meat into his mouth, unconsciously touching the top of the chopsticks.

The man's eyes dimmed when he saw this. He took back his chopsticks and put the remaining fish in the porcelain bowl into his own mouth. After swallowing it, he solved her puzzlement.

"Mrs. Jiang thinks Mr. Jiang can't see anyone, but they've discovered our affairs. If we want them to keep it secret, we naturally have to give them some benefits, right?"

There are many ways to make someone shut up, and this is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

He did want them to share the secret, but he was afraid that if the rumor got out, Xu Xian would get upset and he would be the one to pay the price for his impulsive behavior.

Paying the price with your emotions is a small matter, but her being unhappy is a big matter.

Xu Xian: “…”

How could she hear a hint of jealousy in the man's dissatisfied tone?

In line with the principle of not bringing up the past, she pretended not to hear.

"Whose jealousy is spilled? You're so jealous!" Xu Xian pretended to smell vinegar, waving his hands in front of his nose, with a teasing and amusement in his eyes.

She was teasing him.

Jiang Shibai watched her acting, his voice gentle and deep, he said word by word: "Xu Xian's."

“Hahahahaha——” Xu Xian laughed so hard that he almost choked.

How come she didn't realize that Jiang Shibai also had a sense of humor in telling jokes?

The bright light fell into the man's eyes that were like the deep sea, and the tiny specks of light all fell into his eyes, like a sea of stars.

He looked at the woman in front of him with a smile as beautiful as a flower, his heart and eyes filled with only her.

After Xu Xian laughed enough, Jiang Shibai handed her the water at hand so that she wouldn't laugh so hard that her mouth would become dry and her throat would itch and she would cough.

She drank a few sips slowly and praised him generously, "Boss Jiang's ability to control people is becoming more and more perfect."

He said nice things but secretly criticized Jiang Shibai in his heart. He is indeed a capitalist and his calculations are clear.

Jiang Shibai's face remained calm and smiling as he replied, "It's no match for Mrs. Jiang's skill in controlling her husband. She even stole Mr. Jiang's heart."

Xu Xian tilted his head and glanced at his left chest. He was wearing a white shirt today, which was suitable for formal occasions. The workmanship was exquisite, and the bulging chest muscles were faintly visible under the thin fabric, which aroused people's imagination.

Her eyes were clear, as if she wanted to see through the clothes and skin to see whether the beating heart belonged to her.

"I can't steal the heart. Mr. Jiang is willing to give it, so Mrs. Jiang is certainly willing to accept it."

Jiang Shibai's lips curled up silently when he heard that, and he sighed helplessly in his heart. It was really hard to get a single word out of her.

It's too difficult to hear that she likes him too.

The two fought openly and secretly, and it seemed difficult for anyone to determine the final winner.

Before leaving the table after dinner, Xu Xian suddenly asked, "I'm curious, if our relationship is discovered, how will Mr. Jiang handle it?"

The Jiang Group does not have an explicit rule prohibiting office romances, but it has become an unspoken convention.

As a result, the person in charge of the group did not set an example, but instead took the lead in "knowingly breaking the law" and married his secretary.

She crossed her arms leisurely, her eyes full of interest, waiting for his answer.
