Ruan Xu had just returned to his department when he was notified that his supervisor wanted to see him.

He went to the office and saw the leader sitting behind his desk, his brows furrowed and his face looking very unpleasant.

Upon seeing him enter, the leader slammed the documents in his hand down in front of him.

"Ruan Xu, what's wrong with you lately? You quoted the company 12 yuan per square meter for this building material, which is supposed to be high-quality. But the materials I inspected this time are of completely different quality from the quoted price; they're all counterfeit and substandard products. Some of this material has already been used in the project. Do you realize how much loss and crisis this will cause the company if problems arise? I hope Manager Ruan can give me a reasonable explanation!"

Ruan Xu picked up the documents on the table and glanced at them, his hand gripping the papers tightening involuntarily.

He pursed his lips, feigning composure, and said, "President Luo, when I went to inspect the materials and sign the contract, I did sign for the best building materials. It's possible that the person specifically responsible for receiving and transporting them made a mistake. Please rest assured, President Luo, I will investigate right now and see who did this. How dare they resort to such underhanded tactics? If my cousin-in-law finds out, he will definitely not let him off the hook."

When he mentioned Ji Chengfeng, President Luo visibly hesitated.

The case is actually quite simple: they take kickbacks, quote high prices for materials, but use counterfeit or substandard materials to pass off as genuine, making a huge profit from the difference.

Furthermore, Ruan Xu was personally assigned to this project by President Ji, and he's also a cousin. Even if he did something, President Ji probably wouldn't really do anything to him.

Thinking of this, President Luo raised his hand: "That's possible. Then I'll trouble Manager Ruan to investigate what happened and find out who's causing trouble behind the scenes and bring them to justice."

"Okay." Ruan Xu nodded with a smile, looking honest and simple.

After leaving the house, Ruan Xu's smile vanished instantly, and she hurriedly drove home in a panic.

Ruan Jian and Ruan Jiaojiao were both at home, about to leave, when they saw him suddenly return. They rushed to greet him, "Dad, why did you come back so suddenly? The hospital called, saying that Mom..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Jian was pushed aside. Ruan Xu didn't even glance at him and hurried upstairs.

After going upstairs, he immediately went into the room where the evil god was worshipped. Looking at the evil god with a ferocious expression inside the shrine, he was both devastated and fierce.

"What happened? Wasn't it said that as long as we made offerings sincerely, there wouldn't be any problems? Why has everything been discovered now?"

For two years, he has kept his act of taking kickbacks and falsifying accounts a secret.

As a result, the recent spate of scandals has given him a bad feeling.

And his intuition told him that this was just the beginning.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xu panicked even more. He picked up the fruit knife next to him and cut his wrist, dripping blood onto the evil god statue.

"Help me, help me one last time. If it's done, I'll give you all of that person's good fortune."

Blood suddenly covered the entire body of the evil god statue. Ruan Xu then picked up the incense sticks next to him, lit them, and placed them in the incense burner in front of the evil god statue.

After making his prayer, Ruan Xu turned and left.

However, he did not notice that after he left, the incense stick suddenly broke in half, and a strange laugh drifted through the air. The evil god's blood-red eyes stared intently in the direction Ruan Xu had left.

He needs good fortune.

Blood, he wants more blood!

His luck had been interrupted these past few days, and if Ruan Xu hadn't fed him with his blood, he would have already been unable to resist draining Ruan Xu dry.

But that little bit of blood was not enough to quell the greed growing in his heart.

A malevolent aura emanated from the statue of the evil god, drifting out through the crack in the door and heading towards Ruan Xu's room.

Ruan Xu's luck was not good enough, less than one-tenth of Ji Chengfeng's, but it was better than nothing.

An evil aura enveloped Ruan Xu, who was handling official business in his study when he suddenly felt a chill envelop him.

He assumed the air conditioner was set too low, so he got up and turned the temperature up a bit, then put on a piece of clothing, which made him feel a little better.

On the other side, Qiqi seemed to sense something, pinched her chubby little hand and did some calculations, then chuckled.

The evil god couldn't hold back any longer!

Unexpectedly, this evil god was so impatient. He was greedy and made his move after being fed blood by Ruan Xu only twice.

Ruan Xu probably won't last long. Once the evil god has drained Ruan Xu dry, he'll probably reach out his evil hand to his father.

Ji Chengfeng, who was handling official business nearby, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and felt very uncomfortable.

Qiqi quickly jumped off the sofa, ran over, and took out a talisman to stick on his forehead.

Ji Chengfeng finally felt a little better, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qi Bao, what happened to me just now?" With a talisman stuck to his forehead, Ji Chengfeng's breaths made the talisman flutter as he spoke, making him look particularly comical, but he didn't care.

Qiqi said, "The evil god is absorbing the luck of my bad uncle. Because he stole my dad's luck before, my dad will also be affected when the evil god absorbs it. So I put a talisman on my dad to protect him from the evil influence."

"So... how long do I have to keep this on?" Ji Chengfeng pointed to the talisman on his forehead.

Qiqi, with her chubby little hands, did some calculations and grinned, "We can peel it off now!"

Ji Chengfeng immediately raised his hand and took the talisman off, which instantly vanished into nothingness.

No matter how many times I've witnessed it, seeing my little girl's abilities again still feels amazing.

Ji Chengfeng had meetings all afternoon, and Qiqi didn't bother him. She just waited obediently in the office, which made everyone in the president's office praise her for being well-behaved and sensible.

That adorable, pretty face melted the hearts of all the secretaries in the CEO's office, and they all gave Qiqi the snacks from their drawers.

Qiqi was surrounded by a sea of ​​snacks, eating like a happy little hamster.

"Mr. Ji, have you chosen a name for Miss Qiqi? It's needed for household registration."

Ji Chengfeng paused in signing the document, then looked up and said, "I forgot about this. I need to go back and discuss it with my family."

I glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, then stood up. "Oh, it's already time to leave work. That's all for today, you can all go home too."

Almost as soon as he stood up, Qiqi jumped off the sofa, ran over, grabbed her father's hand, and looked up at him with a smile.

With her clingy, adorable appearance, Ji Chengfeng's heart fluttered.

"Let's go, let's take our Qi Bao home!"

Qiqi's eyes lit up at the thought of eating lots of delicious food when she got home.

That's great! Since returning home with her parents, she hasn't gone hungry at all. She eats her fill every day and has even tried many things she'd never eaten before.

I feel so happy, like I'm dreaming.
