Her face flushed red as she threw herself at Lin Jiang, trying to cover his mouth.
"Don’t say that! I don’t have those kinds of thoughts..."
"You just asked me if I could handle Chen Jingxian."
"Agh..."
He Siyao was so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"I was just asking! I didn’t mean anything else by it."
Lin Jiang smiled at He Siyao, his hand landing on her butt for a firm squeeze.
"Sure you don’t mean it."
"I don’t...?"
"Really?" Lin Jiang squeezed harder.
"I do—"
Just as a single word escaped her lips, He Siyao clamped her mouth shut.
"I... I just don’t mind that sort of thing... and..."
"And what?"
"And I think... it’s actually... kind of exciting..."
"See? That innocence is just on the surface. You’ve got all sorts of naughty ideas on the inside."
"I do not..."
"Don’t you have a great time every time we play?"
He Siyao was bashful, wanting to retort but not knowing what to say.
Because she really did get into it, and had even... performed for him before.
The feeling was truly addictive.
"Well, well..."
He Siyao’s attitude hardened slightly. "When two people are together, isn’t it normal to... play around with these things?"
"Not bad. You’ve really come around lately."
Lin Jiang tossed the Flash Strike Staff to her. "Then give me another performance."
"Yes, Master."
’Watching her now and thinking back to her innocent appearance in school, the stark contrast added a layer of excitement to this ’feeding’ session.’
’Come to think of it, it seems like all women have this kind of attribute. Even Chen Jingxian.’
’Sometimes, I don’t even have to say anything. Just a look, and she knows what she’s supposed to do.’
In the end, they both had a blast.
’It would be even more fun if I could pull Chen Jingxian into this too.’
Feeling refreshed, they emerged from the secret room and returned to the office. "Go get your Sister Xian."
He Siyao looked at Lin Jiang in surprise.
"Master, you don’t want to... right now, do you? All together?"
"It looks to me like you’re not quite over the excitement yet. Need me to help you again?"
"No, no!"
He Siyao waved her hands frantically. "My legs are like jelly, I can barely stand."
"Go get your Sister Xian."
"Okay."
He Siyao turned and called Chen Jingxian in.
After entering, Chen Jingxian sized them both up with a knowing look, choosing not to say anything.
"What’s the situation with Li Yuan?"
"After the product launched, the market response has been excellent. Supply hasn’t been able to keep up with demand," He Siyao said.
"Right now, the other companies, led by Hongyang Pastures, have started cutting their prices. But since we give our stock to distributors, they secretly mark it up, creating a price difference. This has resulted in a delicate balance between both sides."
Lin Jiang nodded. This was a scenario he had expected.
"When you have a moment, hold a meeting with Uncle He and start the direct sales plan. From now on, we won’t distribute through other channels anymore. We can’t have them ruining our reputation."
"That’s a good idea. We can run a pilot program in Zhonghai first, then expand slowly," Chen Jingxian said.
Lin Jiang nodded. "From now on, the distributors are out. We need to build up our brand image."
"Understood."
The small meeting between the three of them lasted for about half an hour, right up until quitting time.
Lin Jiang glanced at his watch. ’Time flies,’ he thought. ’Feels like all I did was ’feed’ the two of them and nothing else.’
When the meeting was over, He Siyao tactfully took her leave first.
’I’ve had my fill,’ she thought. ’The rest of the time should be left for Sister Xian.’
"President Lin must have had a busy afternoon," Chen Jingxian said resentfully.
"Didn’t I just hold a meeting with you two?"
"It wasn’t just a meeting with *us*, was it? You also had a private little meeting with Yaoyao, and it lasted over two hours."
"Why do I smell a whole lot of jealousy?"
Chen Jingxian lifted her chin, her expression proud and haughty.
"I would never get jealous."
Lin Jiang’s arm shot out, wrapping around Chen Jingxian’s waist and pulling her to his side.
"You sure?"
"Of course I’m sure. I’m not jealous."
"Well, nothing to be done then," Lin Jiang said.
"I was thinking of letting you play with the thing I gave her to play with, but since you’re not interested, I won’t force you."
"Hm?"
A hint of curiosity appeared in Chen Jingxian’s eyes.
"What did you give her to play with?"
"You’re not interested, so why should I tell you?"
"Hmph, it’s not like I want to know."
Chen Jingxian straightened her clothes. "Are you busy tonight? Want to come to my place for dinner?"
"I love your cooking. I’ll definitely be there."
Hearing Lin Jiang say that, Chen Jingxian’s heart filled with delight.
"Anything you’d like to eat?"
"How about spicy crayfish? With some beer, I think that would be great."
"Let’s go buy some."
After leaving the company, Chen Jingxian got into Lin Jiang’s car.
He had just fastened his seatbelt and was about to leave when he noticed Chen Jingxian’s expression seemed a little off. She kept stealing glances at him.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Jiang asked casually.
"What exactly were you and Yaoyao playing at in the office?"
Lin Jiang understood perfectly. Chen Jingxian hadn’t forgotten about it.
And from the looks of it, she seemed to care a lot.
Lin Jiang looked at her with a grin. "Are you sure you want to know?"
"If you tell me, I’ll want to know." Chen Jingxian was still putting up a front, too proud to say it directly.
"Looks like you don’t really want to know after all. In that case, I won’t say anything. Let’s go grocery shopping."
"Don’t go..."
Chen Jingxian’s face flushed slightly.
"I want to know..."
"If you want to know, just say so. It’s not like I won’t tell you."
"What were you playing?"
"How about this? I’ll give you a choice."
"Okay."
"Go to my office. Third row from the top, second cubby. There’s a switch inside. Flip it, and you’ll be able to get into another room."
By telling her this, he was essentially laying his cards on the table with Chen Jingxian.
But strictly speaking, it wasn’t really showing his hand.
Even a fool could guess what was going on between him and He Siyao, let alone someone as sharp as Chen Jingxian.
This was just a way of bringing things out into the open.
’After all, I plan on comparing them together in the future. I have to lay the groundwork now.’
Chen Jingxian looked at Lin Jiang, astonished.
"Your office has a secret room!"
"I’m a big boss worth billions, after all. This is pretty normal, don’t you think?"
"I figured you two were up to no good in there."
"It’s called human instinct," Lin Jiang said with a straight face.
"Once you’re inside, there’s a small box under the bed. It doesn’t have a lock. You can open it and take a look. If you want to play, take the box. If not, just come back out, and I’ll know not to bring up these things with you again."
Chen Jingxian knew that they had definitely... done *it* in the secret room.
But she was even more curious about what, exactly, they had been *playing* with.
"Go on."
"Okay."
After getting out of the car, Chen Jingxian went back into the company, her curiosity reaching its peak.
She couldn’t wait to get to Lin Jiang’s office.
Following Lin Jiang’s instructions, Chen Jingxian found the switch. After flipping it gently, she heard a distinct CLICK.
She pulled lightly on the bookshelf, and sure enough, it slid to the left.
Once the bookshelf opened, Chen Jingxian stepped inside.
She found the decor inside was rather simple, with nothing particularly special about it, except that the bedsheets were a bit damp.
Crouching down, Chen Jingxian saw the box underneath. She picked it up and weighed it in her hands; it wasn’t very heavy.
Filled with intense curiosity, Chen Jingxian slowly opened it.
"There’s so much..."
"What... what is all this? This is insane..."
