Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly and left with Du Jiang obediently.
Wu Fang and Zhou Zheng followed closely behind.
Only the young man was left standing there, watching everyone walk away. His eyes were always fixed on Ji Xingzhi's figure. His expression changed from puzzled inquiry to an unpredictable look, and a smile of interest appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Du Jiang brought Ji Xingzhi and others to a guest room, ordered someone to brew a pot of fine tea, and invited Ji Xingzhi to take a seat.
Ji Xingzhi didn't bother to be polite with Du Jiang. She sat in the upper seat with peace of mind, slowly picked up the teacup, paused for a while at the tip of her nose, sniffed the aroma, and took a light sip. The aftertaste was sweet and the fragrance lingered on her lips and teeth. Hmm, it was indeed good tea.
Wu Fang and Zhou Zheng stood on Ji Xingzhi's left and right, protecting her safety.
Du Jiang saw it all. Standing five steps away from Ji Xingzhi, he turned his gaze towards Ji Xingzhi, who was sipping her tea, and smiled his usual official smile. "Two guards from Zhou... no, it should be Xia Zhou, who suddenly visited my Du residence to become my personal guards. I didn't think much of it. I just wanted to hire him if he could defeat my guards."
At this point, Du Jiang couldn't help but laugh. "I never thought that Hero Zhou would actually defeat all the guards in my house. Once I leave, there's no way to take it back. I can only fulfill my promise. But in doing so, I've put my blood relatives in danger."
Du Jiang paused, then looked away at Wu Fang and said, "Two days ago, Wu Daxia suddenly came to this courtyard and surrounded it. He wanted me to cooperate with him on a business deal. If I didn't agree, he would report me to the authorities." Du Jiang paused again, his eyes falling on Ji Xingzhi. "I've been in the business world for years, never revealing my true colors. But now, in just a few days, I've been completely ruined. What I didn't expect was that the person behind the scenes was actually..."
Du Jiang dragged out the last sound of the word "yes", which was meaningful.
Ji Xingzhi twitched the corner of his mouth in understanding and said calmly, "What is it? A child?"
Du Jiang remained silent.
Ji Xingzhi put down the teacup and looked up at Du Jiang. After hearing what Du Jiang said, Ji Xingzhi deeply understood a truth: in this world, those who have money but no power can only be exploited by others, and those who have power but no money are just empty commanders.
However, power is always better than money. There is an old saying: Those who have power will never lack money.
It just so happens that Ji Xingzhi is a person who is both powerful and rich, but it is a pity that the power in her hands does not belong to her completely now.
In addition, Ji Xingzhi was very satisfied with the efficiency of Wu Fang and Zhou Zheng. She gave them a month, but they completed the task in just two or three days. Did she underestimate Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang's abilities, or overestimate Du Jiang's strength?
Ji Xingzhi smiled faintly, pointed at her head and said calmly, "We are competing here, not in age."
Hearing this, Du Jiang felt a little embarrassed. He thought that he was nearly 40 years old and half buried in the ground, but he was defeated by a young boy. It was really a disgrace to him.
Seeing that Du Jiang looked a little unnatural, Ji Xingzhi stopped provoking him and asked nonchalantly, "Why are you meeting me?"
Du Jiang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wu Fang and Zhou Zheng, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Ji Xingzhi curled his lips and said, "Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhou are not outsiders, so it's okay to say anything."
