Chapter 107: Eating Watermelon in the Rest Area (14)
Seeing that Jiang Minxu was always on guard, Ji Zehan asked, "What are your concerns, President Jiang?"
When Jiang Minxu heard this, it was as if the key issue had been pointed out, and his mind was full of thoughts.
Indeed, he could feel that he liked Ji Zehan.
Knowing that the other party is going for revenge, I feel uneasy and will follow him at his side without hesitation, constantly confirming whether he is safe, so that I can feel at ease.
He also knew that Ji Zehan liked him.
Otherwise, he would not have stepped forward and revealed his identity when he saw his enemy Zhou Da was about to attack him.
But, can they really be together like this regardless of everything?
Jiang Minxu thought of his father and knew that he would not live long, so he would rather deceive his beloved lover and let her leave.
And now, what is the difference between him and Ji Zehan?
In this "18th level of hell", as the points accumulated, the difficulty of the dungeon continued to increase, and it was difficult for him to guarantee that he would come back alive the next time he entered the dungeon.
Under such circumstances, can he really fall in love with someone else without restraint?
Perhaps not starting is the best choice for both parties, so that both parties will suffer the least harm.
Jiang Minxu stood up straight, turned to look at Ji Zehan, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, Pavilion Master Ji, I think you misunderstood. My concern for you is simply that of an ally.
“The existence of Wantong Pavilion is crucial to the Poshan Guild and the entire player community.
"If you unfortunately die in the dungeon, even if Wantong Pavilion can immediately have your capable subordinates take over the management, the connections I have worked so hard to build with you will be wasted.
“This will seriously affect our guild’s subsequent cooperation with Wantong Pavilion.
"So, I don't want you to die. This is the main reason why I helped you in the dungeon."
After saying that, Jiang Minxu took a few steps back and nodded goodbye to Ji Zehan, who was still standing there in confusion: "If there is nothing else to discuss about cooperation, I will take my leave first."
After saying this, he turned and left without looking back, for fear that if he looked back and saw the other person's sad look, he would not be able to help but feel distressed and would reveal his true feelings.
In the elevator, Liu Tang and Mo Qianhe hugged each other for a long time before they realized that the elevator had not reached their home.
The two of them released their hug and checked the elevator operating panel. They found that they had forgotten to give the elevator any instructions when they came in, so the elevator had been stopped in the same place after the door closed.
That's why they heard the whole process of Jiang Minxu rejecting Ji Zehan inside the elevator door.
It can be said that he is extremely ruthless and extremely impartial.
It’s not Liu Tang’s fault for eavesdropping. The melon was stuffed into his mouth. He clearly closed his lips and teeth tightly, but the juice of the melon still seeped into his mouth through the gap.
There's really no way to stop it.
Liu Tang gasped, "Hiss... President Jiang is really good at speaking hurtfully... My poor Pavilion Master Ji."
Mo Qianhe observed Liu Tang's expression and felt that he was very much like an old father who was worried about his son's feelings. He couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Before Liu Tang could finish his sigh, the elevator door was pushed open from the outside.
Jiang Minxu outside the door and Liu Tang leaning against the door inside were both stunned.
"Ah, this..." Liu Tang felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Minxu's expression instantly became extremely confused. He took a long time to sort himself out before asking with some shame and anger, "You guys were here the whole time?"
Liu Tang stood up straight, stepped back to Mo Qianhe's side, coughed twice, and while observing the ceiling decoration in the elevator car, he replied: "Ah, yes, yes."
After answering, he felt that this seemed to make him seem like he was deliberately eavesdropping, but asking him to explain that he and Boss Mo were so engrossed in hugging that he forgot to leave seemed a bit like a show of affection. This was too cruel for Jiang Minxu, who had just lied and rejected his beloved.
Jiang Minxu said he has gotten used to it.
Whenever he talked about his personal emotional affairs, Liu Tang would be there.
In the "18th level of hell" where anything can happen, if you say it is metaphysics, it sounds completely acceptable.
Ji Zehan, who was not far away, saw the scene in front of him and said calmly, "It's better this way. You don't have to tell them this story again when we are together."
Jiang Minxu: "..."
Liu Tang: “…”
[I was worried that Pavilion Master Ji would be shocked, but I didn't expect him to be so blindly confident.]
Mo Qianhe listened to Liu Tang's inner complaints with a smile on his face. He pulled Liu Tang out of the elevator and motioned Jiang Minxu to go in. "It seems that President Jiang is more anxious to use the elevator than us. You should use it first."
Jiang Minxu didn't bother to be polite with the two of them. He walked in and pressed the elevator door closing button.
Until the elevator door was completely closed, Liu Tang didn't dare to look at Jiang Minxu. He kept playing with Mo Qianhe's hand, as if it was some rare treasure that had never been seen in the world.
Jiang Minxu's face was filled with shame and anger, and he felt an indescribable sense of shame.
At the door of the conference room, Ji Zehan stood there for a long time without moving.
He didn't understand why Jiang Minxu lied.
He could clearly feel that the other party was not just doing his job, so why was he deliberately distancing himself from him?
"It seems that my benefactor is right. I have to pay him a visit." After thinking for a long time, he came to this conclusion.
Liu Tang finally raised his head: "..."
[Awesome! With such a strong mentality and just the right amount of nerve, you still can't woo Chairman Jiang. This is unforgivable!]
When Jiang Minxu returned to the Poshan Guild, his younger brother Minliang was already guarding the gate.
After confirming that her brother had returned alone, she yelled, "Brother! Pavilion Master Ji is not a good match! I will not agree to you two being together!"
Jiang Minxu knew at a glance that this person had probably watched the live broadcast and thought that he and Pavilion Master Ji had some kind of affair.
He raised his hand and ruffled his brother's messy wildfire-like hair, his eyes gentle as he said, "I'm not with him, and I won't be with him in the future."
Min Liang had prepared several thousand words of speech about how they were not suitable for each other, but it was suddenly stuck in his throat. He had no reason to say it out loud and was a little stunned for a moment.
Jiang Minxu walked in with his brother in his arms, calling on the guild's strategy department to prepare to review this dungeon.
Min Liang's head was buzzing: "No, this is different from the script I prepared!"
During the entire review meeting that followed, Minliang carefully observed his brother's condition.
As always, professional, serious and gentle.
only……
Even though Jiang Minxu looked the same as usual, Minliang always felt that his brother was not in a good mood.
After the meeting, Jiang Minxu prepared to go to the guild cafeteria for dinner as usual.
Min Liang thought for a moment, then hugged his brother and suggested, "I'm tired of eating in the cafeteria. Brother, you've just cleared such a dangerous dungeon today. How about we go out and have something nice to eat?"
When the other guild members heard this, they all became excited: "I'm going too, I'm going too!"
Min Liang looked at them, with the fierce look of a domineering prince on his face: "No, you don't want to."
The others paused for a moment, then waved their hands awkwardly, "The food outside is expensive and tastes terrible. Our cafeteria is still the best and cheapest."
"That's right, the guild cafeteria, the eternal god!"
After the others left, Min Liang looked at his brother Jiang Min Xu again and shook his shoulder: "Are you leaving or not?"
Jiang Minxu had never seen Minliang deliberately eat alone with him before, so he thought he must want to talk to him, so he agreed sympathetically: "Okay."
You can't pamper your own younger brother.
There is a Pingdu Mountain in the "Underworld Rest Area", on which merchants have built a night market city with rows of shops.
All the buildings are built according to the mountain terrain, with white walls and green tiles, and golden decorative lights on the green tiles at night.
The buildings are of different heights and have intricate and complex structures. Often, you have to go to the top floor of one building before you can reach the first floor of another building, which can easily make people dizzy.
At this time, the night market city has opened for business, with noisy voices, delicious food everywhere, and a bustling and prosperous scene.
Liu Tang had wanted to come here for a stroll for a long time, and today he finally got the chance. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he put his hands on his hips and shouted with all his might, "Tonight, we're going to eat all the delicious food on this mountain!"
Mo Qianhe smiled and said, "You'd better be."
The two of them ate as they walked. Liu Tang ate wontons with red oil and complained to Mo Qianhe, "I've been a shopkeeper in the 'food court' for a few days, and today I can finally be a customer."
Seeing that the man was enjoying his meal, Mo Qianhe suddenly asked, "Do you know who the largest shareholder of this food city was before?"
Liu Tang thought about it and seemed to have seen this when he was looking up the guide.
After taking a sip of the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, the boy mumbled and replied, "I think his last name is Zhou..."
Liu Tang came to his senses mid-sentence. He looked at Mo Qianhe in shock and said, "Could it be that Zhou Da was eliminated in the 'Food Court'?!"
Seeing the man's frightened expression, Mo Qianhe laughed mischievously and nodded in response, "That's right."
Liu Tang's expression immediately turned ugly.
Thinking of Mr. Zhou’s memories before his death, in which he used raw materials in order to reduce costs, he felt sick.
Mo Qianhe rubbed Liu Tang's head and said, "All the raw materials for 'Hell 18th Layer' are purchased from the system. Don't worry, the system doesn't sell black-hearted meat or expired ingredients."
Liu Tang was relieved and started eating happily again.
Mo Qianhe looked at the prosperous food city in front of him and said, "It seems that after the death of this rich man, the transfer of his assets went smoothly, and the business was not affected at all."
Liu Tang also looked around and suddenly felt a little emotional: "Yeah, who would have thought that in just a few days, this food city has changed its owner."
Nothing lasts forever.
Liu Tang recalled that when he was a child, he was a happy child growing up in a warm family of three the day before, but an earthquake happened the next day and he became an orphan.
Fate changed dramatically from then on.
He turned to look at Mo Qianhe and asked, "Boss Mo, have I ever told you about my parents before?"
Mo Qianhe nodded: "I did, but not much."
When Liu Tang published the book, he remembered some fragments of memories about his parents.
He was too young when his parents died and didn't remember much about them.
As he grew older, he had even fewer memories of these things left.
I can only vaguely remember that my father and mother were an exceptionally gentle and harmonious couple.
And, they are heroes.
