Qian Xiaoke decided that if he could walk out of this hotel room alive today, he would be careful about what he said and did from now on.
Jiang Tongyan’s eyes were like torches, and he was about to burn Qian Xiaoke to ashes.
Qian Xiaoke’s hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and he drooped his head, not daring to look up.
“Chairman Jiang, I really didn’t mean it.” Qian Xiaoke was very sincere at this moment, “Really, I can swear to heaven.”
Jiang Tongyan was furious and felt that he was on the verge of death.
He was already in great pain; why did the instigator always want to expose his scars?
Jiang Tongyan said, “Qian Xiaoke, I was going to let you go.”
Qian Xiaoke still didn’t dare to look up, “So now…”
Qian Xiaoke put down the chopsticks. His ass was still stuck to the chair, and he retreated with the chair, “Are you going to kill me to silence me?”
“You’re overthinking it. I already washed my hands of it a few years ago.” Wouldn’t it be a bargain for you to kill you directly to silence you?
Qian Xiaoke: What did he mean? He used to be a murderer?
He didn’t dare to ask for fear of asking something wrong.
Qian Xiaoke had once read in a novel about ‘popular science1Popular science (also called pop-science or popsci) is an interpretation of science intended for a general audience. While science journalism focuses on recent scientific developments, popular science is more broad-ranging. It may be written by professional science journalists or by scientists themselves. It is presented in many forms, including books, film and television documentaries, magazine articles, and web pages.’, which claimed that the businessmen from these prominent families all had murky, unclean backgrounds, and each one was ruthless and vicious—how wicked they were!
He suddenly felt as if he was the innocent little white rabbit accidentally falling into the wolf’s den.
Scary.
He felt that he should do something to prevent the other party from killing him because of his momentary slip of the tongue!
He was here thinking about making up a story for Jiang Tongyan, and Jiang Tongyan was still staring at him with anger across the way.
“You just said I was impotent, right?”
“… No, you misheard it.” Qian Xiaoke said, “I said you were very hard and very fierce.”
After saying that, he almost bit his tongue.
Jiang Tongyan: “… Qian Xiaoke, you know, sometimes trouble comes from the mouth.”
Qian Xiaoke knew.
He had caused countless troubles because of this mouth.
“Chairman Jiang!” Qian Xiaoke said, “It is not recommended to do anything illegal or criminal.”
“Oh? What is illegal or breaking the law?”
“For example, killing people, for example…raping them!” Qian Xiaoke actually hesitated when he said this because Jiang Tongyan couldn’t get hard, and he probably couldn’t r4p3 him.
“Tsk.” Jiang Tongyan sneered disdainfully, “Who cares about raping you.”
“Then are you going to kill me?”
“I said I don’t kill people anymore.” Jiang Tongyan stood up and put his hands on his belt.
With his usual way of doing things, he should have immediately taken off his pants and shown Qian Xiaoke what a real man is like. But the problem was, he was actually a bit insecure.
Qian Xiaoke might not have seen a real man, but back then, Jiang Tongyan had helplessly flopped right in front of him.
At this moment, Chairman Jiang, didn’t have much confidence.
He had no confidence, but he had to pretend to be confident.
He said coldly, “I won’t kill you, but I will torture you as much as possible.”
“Huh?” Qian Xiaoke instantly went through all the ten tortures in ancient times in his mind.
“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Tongyan asked.
Qian Xiaoke: “I… I’m thinking about why you are so handsome!”
In the following time, Qian Xiaoke used his eloquent tongue to praise Jiang Tongyan for a full five minutes. Jiang Tongyan even doubted whether this kid had taken a breath.
Heroic and majestic, handsome, chivalrous, invincible.
“Alright, that’s enough.” Jiang Tongyan broke down. He found that he couldn’t get angry with Qian Xiaoke at all. This kid’s thoughts often deviated and were not on the same channel as normal people.
Qian Xiaoke continued to flatter Jiang Tongyan like a devout believer, looking at him and saying, “Chairman Jiang, can I ask you a question?”
“Go ahead.” Jiang Tongyan said, “If you ask a question, it will cost you ten yuan each time. You have just asked one question. Remember to pay the ten yuan when you leave.”
“…” Qian Xiaoke almost bit his back teeth.
However, a wise man didn’t suffer a loss in the short term. The priority for Qian Xiaoke then had been to cheer him up, save his life, and secure both his salary and bonuses.
Of course, the most important thing was the latter.
Ten yuan was ten yuan, anyway; he already owed Jiang Tongyan twenty yuan, so what’s one more debt? Too many debts wouldn’t weigh you down—he just need not pay them back.
Who didn’t know how to cheat?
“Chairman Jiang, I just want to ask, what did you eat to grow up? Why are you so handsome, suave, elegant, and extraordinary?” Qian Xiaoke used almost all the idioms he had learned to praise people throughout his life, and he was a little tired.
Jiang Tongyan was sober and had seen through Qian Xiaoke’s tricks long ago, but he was in a good mood now that he had calmed down and could play with this kid for a while.
“Anyway, eating spicy hot pot would definitely not make you look like me.” Jiang Tongyan suddenly remembered something, tapped the table with his fingers, and asked him, “Do you remember Shen Huiming?”
Shen Huiming?
Qian Xiaoke certainly remembered.
He didn’t remember what that person looked like, but he remembered the name in his mind. Because of this name, Chairman Jiang’s thing had never recovered since then.
How could he not remember it?
However, Qian Xiaoke was such a smart person, of course he couldn’t say that he remembered it.
“Shen…what Ming?” Qian Xiaoke pretended to have amnesia, “The name sounds familiar, is he the security guard of our office building?”
It had to be said that Qian Xiaoke was really good at holding Jiang Tongyan.
With just this sentence, Jiang Tongyan’s anger completely disappeared.
Originally, Jiang Tongyan wanted to ask Qian Xiaoke whether he was more handsome or Shen Huiming was more handsome, but now he didn’t need to ask anything.
Jiang Tongyan said, “Come here. Have something to eat, and I’ll take you out to play in the afternoon.”
“…Ah?” Qian Xiaoke was shocked for the umpteenth time because of Jiang Tongyan.
“A reward for you.” Jiang Tongyan said, “Shopping, watching movies, or going to the amusement park, you can choose whatever you want.”
Qian Xiaoke felt something was wrong.
He heard that prisoners would be given a good meal before being executed, so was this his ‘last supper’?
“Chairman Jiang, don’t scare me.”
“What did I scare you about?” Jiang Tongyan slapped the table, “Hurry up, don’t waste my time!”
Qian Xiaoke returned and sat down tremblingly, ate the delicious spicy hot pot tremblingly, and then tremblingly glanced at Jiang Tongyan.
Jiang Tongyan: This kid always took a glance at me. I’m afraid he really loves me.
Jiang Tongyan: Peeking at me again, am I so charming?
Jiang Tongyan: This is the third time. I can’t help it; being handsome is really troublesome.
Jiang Tongyan: Shen Huiming, you really should see how this kid is fascinated by me, so you know what a handsome man is!
The handsome man, Jiang Tongyan, ate and drank enough. He then took Qian Xiaoke, who was also full of food and drinks but had indigestion and hiccups because of being nervous all the time, to leave the hotel.
“Let’s go buy a cell phone first,” Jiang Tongyan said, “Do you know where to buy one?”
Qian Xiaoke nodded repeatedly but was thinking about finding an opportunity to escape.
He would rather go back to work.
He would rather go back to work. It was so nice to work inside the company, and it was really too hard to work in the ‘field’. He even had to worry about his life.
Jiang Tongyan raised his hand and stopped a taxi.
Jiang Tongyan: “Get in the car.”
Qian Xiaoke looked at him.
“Don’t be nervous. I brought money today.”
Then Qian Xiaoke got in the car.
The task Cheng Sen assigned to Qian Xiaoke was actually very simple: buy a phone, buy a SIM card. After all, Jiang Tongyan would be staying here for over a week, so it didn’t matter what phone or card he got. It would all be sorted in just over an hour.
Qian Xiaoke said: “Chairman Jiang, I’ll go back to the company first.”
“No,” Jiang Tongyan said, “I’ll call your Chairman Cheng, and you can accompany me to walk around this afternoon.”
Qian Xiaoke’s body trembled for about the 800th time.
“But I’m still on my work hour now.” He really wanted to go back, but he was scared.
“Being with me is considered work,” Jiang Tongyan said, “I heard there’s an amusement park nearby. Do you want to ride the roller coaster?”
Not really.
Qian Xiaoke was scared to death.
He wasn’t afraid at first, but then he watched ‘Final Destination’ and became scared.
“Chairman Jiang, roller coasters are very dangerous.” Qian Xiaoke said earnestly, “What if they throw you out…”
“Why is it throwing me out instead of you?”
Qian Xiaoke: I know it! I know it! I know it! You just want to take the opportunity to murder me!
He took a half step back, “Chairman Jiang, I really didn’t mean it.”
Jiang Tongyan looked at him inexplicably, “What are you talking about?”
Qian Xiaoke pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, “We had that kind of thing because of a not-so-beautiful misunderstanding. I know that I hurt you.”
Jiang Tongyan was a little impatient, “Why are you talking about that again?”
So annoying. Jiang Tongyan wanted to forget about his impotence, but Qian Xiaoke kept bringing it up.
Is this guy doing it on purpose?
“I said, I can be responsible for you.”
Jiang Tongyan: “…How can you be responsible?”
Responsible for getting it up again for me? Okay, let’s get a room right away.
“I gave you money, but you didn’t want it.”
Jiang Tongyan took a deep breath, “Qian Xiaoke, why don’t you just shut up.”
“I know, this involves a man’s dignity.” Qian Xiaoke said, “Please don’t torture me like this, just give me a quick death.”
Jiang Tongyan frowned and looked at him, “What?”
“Tell me, what should I do for you to let me go?” Qian Xiaoke seemed to be acting in a sad drama at this moment, “As long as you can live better than me, I can do anything!”
Qian Xiaoke quickly added, “But don’t let Chairman Cheng deduct my salary, thank you.”
Jiang Tongyan was about to lose his temper, but his last sentence amused him.
“You can do anything?”
“Anything is fine.”
“You can also get a room with me?”
“… Uh… This… Uh… I’m actually… I’m really not a casual person.”
Jiang Tongyan sneered, “I’m just teasing you. Who wants to get a room with you?”
Qian Xiaoke rolled his eyes in his heart, but he had to smile on the surface.
It was indeed not easy being a ‘corporate animal’. Working for others was never easy.
Actually, Qian Xiaoke was not afraid of getting a room. Anyway, this guy couldn’t get hard, and he couldn’t take advantage of him.
“Then what do you want?” This time, it was Qian Xiaoke’s turn to be impatient.
Jiang Tongyan crossed his arms before his chest and looked at him proudly, “Unconditionally meet my three requirements.”
“Huh?” This sentence is a bit like Qiong Yao2kind of dramatic, almost philosophical, with a touch of self-deprecating humor.
“If you agree, your debt will be written off.” Jiang Tongyan said, “I will never threaten you with this matter in the future.”
Qian Xiaoke felt that this was still a conspiracy, but he still agreed.
It was a verbal agreement anyway; there was no loss, and when he defaulted on the debt, the other party couldn’t do anything to him.
“Then you can make demands on me now.” Qian Xiaoke thought: Are you going to sleep with me?
However, he really thought too much.
Jiang Tongyan said, “The first request is to accompany me to play the roller coaster.”
Qian Xiaoke: …Jiang Tongyan, you are really not a human!
