“Background check report?”
Wu Jie frowned and pulled over a chair to sit down.
“Why on earth did you suddenly think to investigate me?”
“Because you’re too strong!
There’s an old saying, ‘How can one tolerate another person snoring by their bed?'”
Tang Xiao tossed the report to Wu Jie.
“You possess an extremely rare set of martial arts skills, yet you’re content with being a minor employee in the corporation.
Wouldn’t anyone be suspicious of your motives?”
Wu Jie didn’t pick up the report.
Before the system took over his body, he was just a single ‘loser’ without a car, a house, savings, or much capability.
Born in the countryside, from an ordinary family.
Average education, mediocre abilities.
…
Wu Jie didn’t need to look at it to know the report was worthless.
He wasn’t born into a martial arts family, nor had he ever learned martial arts from childhood.
If he really had to find something remotely related, perhaps his college physical education elective could barely count.
But martial arts weren’t something that could be mastered overnight.
Nor could one become a Grandmaster just by casually learning a few moves in an elective course.
So, it wasn’t strange for Tang Xiao to harbor suspicions; anyone would have been suspicious.
Seeing Wu Jie unmoved, Tang Xiao gave a cold laugh.
“What’s the matter?
Do you feel guilty like a thief, or are you afraid to see content that might embarrass you?”
Wu Jie forced a smile and said, “What’s there to be embarrassed about?
It’s just some school fights and failing some classes in college.
No big deal!”
Tang Xiao’s beautiful eyes shifted, “Actually, I don’t care about those.
I’m just curious, how did you acquire your martial arts skills?”
Wu Jie laughed, “I’m self-taught, a natural talent!
What can I do when I’m gifted?”
Tang Xiao sneered, “True, everyone has their own private little secrets.
I respect your privacy, but can you tell me about your motives?”
Wu Jie leaned forward, carefully admiring Tang Xiao’s peerless beauty.
“I’m asking you a question.
What are you looking at?”
“Looking at you!
It’s not your fault for being beautiful, but it would be your fault not to let me admire you.”
Tang Xiao furrowed her brows.
“Are you saying that you joined the corporation because of me?
What were you doing for over a year then?
Have you been waiting for the opportunity to get to know me?”
“If that’s the case, then the car accident before…
could it be you saw that I was the driver, so you deliberately staged a crash?”
“Well!
I was wondering why you…
So you really are brazen!”
Tang Xiao instantly flew into a rage.
Springing to her feet, she grabbed the investigation report, ready to smash it on Wu Jie.
When women get angry, sometimes it happens suddenly and for no apparent reason.
Whoosh!
Wu Jie instantly reached out and caught Tang Xiao’s wrist.
“Aren’t you thinking a bit too much?
Why would things be as complicated as you imagine?”
“If I really plotted with all my heart to get close to you, would I need to waste over a year?”
“I only came to work as a simple life experience, is that also not allowed?”
Tang Xiao bit her red lips tightly, glaring at Wu Jie with a mix of grievance and indignation.
“Really?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
Wu Jie let go of Tang Xiao.
“I like trying out various professions, so you see, I was transferred to be a security guard and I’m enjoying it to the fullest.
I came to work before dawn, just past five this morning.
If you don’t believe me, you can go check the attendance records.”
Tang Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly, her disbelief sitting down with her.
“I just can’t figure you out!
You’re already a multimillionaire and yet you’re willing to be a mere security guard.
With your quirks, does that mean you plan on trying out being a delivery person, chef, real estate agent, and all sorts of other jobs in the future?”
Wu Jie laughed offhandedly, “We’ll see how it goes.
Who knows, maybe one day you’ll ask me to be the president, I can do that too, you know!”
“In your dreams!!”
Tang Xiao snorted, grabbed the report back, and threw it straight into the shredder, turning it into powder.
“Oh, I remembered something after I got home last night.
When Wang Kun transferred money to me, I forgot to show you the amount.
And you, you aren’t even afraid I might skimp on your share due to greed?”
As she spoke, Tang Xiao began to pull up the transfer record on her phone.
“Fair’s fair!
Besides, I don’t care how much you take, because without you, how could I have had a confrontation with Wang Kun?
And if I were the one negotiating the price, I definitely wouldn’t have your courage.
I’d probably settle for three to five million.”
This was Wu Jie speaking the plain truth.
Before, as someone who had never seen much money, even one million seemed frightening.
He wouldn’t have dared to ask Wang Kun for much.
But Tang Xiao was different.
She was the domineering female president of a publicly listed company.
Forget millions, even billions were small change in her eyes.
The Tianyuan Flower Water Bay project, wasn’t it just her demanding three hundred million in compensation straight out?
“All right!
Trusting me is your business, but even brothers should clear their accounts.
Take a good look for yourself!”
Tang Xiao showed Wu Jie the transfer record screen.
Not a penny was missing.
Wu Jie said solemnly, “Give respect to get respect.
Since you’re so generous and think so highly of me, let’s continue our fake relationship cooperation.
But let’s forget the fees; you’ve already given me a car, and helped me make over twenty million.
That’s plenty!”
However, Tang Xiao just shook her head with a smile.
“How can we just change a deal that’s been agreed upon?
We Tang Family People always keep our word.
But if you really feel like you owe me, then come up with a solution for my old injury.
I really can’t afford to be hurt again!”
While speaking, Tang Xiao turned the computer screen, opening up the detailed diagnosis report on her injury that she had just received.
“Didn’t I make a trip to Huhai before?
After finishing my business, I went for a specialized check-up.
The doctor was not optimistic then, and now, with the detailed report out, it really worries me!”
“As a fellow martial artist, you must understand the frustration of being unable to exercise.
But with the bullet fragment variation in my bone and the fractured spine, at best it could leave me paralyzed from the waist down, at worst it could be the end of me.
So now, I can’t even work out.”
…
Wu Jie quickly skimmed through the report.
The situation was indeed dire.
She was fine not exercising for now, continuing conservative treatment and living on.
But if she moved too much and exacerbated the injury, paralysis or death could occur at any time.
“Knowing how bad it is, why did you still threaten me with the report?
Weren’t you afraid it would trigger your injury and spell doom?”
Tang Xiao replied angrily, “I was furious!
I thought you were purposely trying to extort me.
Ugh, let’s never speak of this again!”
Wu Jie: “So what do you want me to do?”
“Didn’t you say you’re extremely talented and a martial arts prodigy?”
Tang Xiao pointed at the report.
“Then I’ll trouble the prodigy to come up with a way to cure my old injury!
Even if it isn’t a complete cure, at least let me work out.
If you can do that, we don’t have to pretend to be a couple.
I’ll marry you!”
“And I’ll definitely be supportive and obedient, and you’ll have the whole group at your disposal.
You can be the chairman or the janitor, whatever pleases your fancy.
So, any ideas?”
