Free Web NovelChapter 454: Chapter 454: Not Jiang Bomeng
"Ah—"
Early the next morning, a sharp scream echoed through the guesthouse. Of course, there weren’t many guests at the guesthouse at that time; it was almost entirely occupied by Xu Ancheng’s people. Wang Mancao’s actions were precisely to attract the attention of Xu Ancheng and his group.
As expected, everyone began to emerge from their rooms one after another.
"What’s wrong, what’s wrong?" Ding Anmin had barely slept the whole night. She had been watching over the children, and only dozed off as dawn broke. Not long after, she was awakened by the scream.
"What happened?" Ni Yan’an, who shared a room with Hua Yiran, came out rubbing his eyes and yawning.
Everyone gathered around Room 203 where the Wang Family Sisters resided. Wang Mancao, blushing with embarrassment, pointed to the mess of clothes scattered around the room and the four feet sticking out from under the quilt, one of which was in a cast. Everyone knew exactly what was going on; what else could a man and woman be doing in bed?
"I, I accidentally fell asleep in the greenhouse last night. When I woke up, it was almost dawn, and when I returned to my room, I saw my sister with Mr. Jiang..."
"Mr. Jiang? Jiang Bomeng!" Hua Yiran said, looking a bit startled.
"Not Jiang Bomeng," Ni Yan’an replied without a second thought. She had seen Jiang Bomeng’s legs, and they looked nothing like the ones she had just glimpsed.
"Little Yan’an, how do you know it’s not me?" Jiang Bomeng pinched Ni Yan’an’s cheek, a delighted smile on his face.
"Your leg hair is so long, and your legs are dark," Ni Yan’an answered earnestly, "but that person’s... uh—"
Jiang Bomeng quickly covered Ni Yan’an’s mouth with his hand, "Don’t remember that, only remember mine."
Ni Yanqing walked over behind Jiang Bomeng. Seeing the two teasing each other, he didn’t say much but just looked directly at Wang Mancao, whose face turned deathly pale.
"How, how is this possible..." Wang Mancao collapsed to the ground.
The people in the room were already awake. Wang Manjing clearly saw who was sleeping beside her, someone she was familiar with.
"Why have so many of you gathered here? Do you have some bizarre fetish for peeking into other people’s boudoirs?" Zhu poked his head out, somewhat helpless.
"Are you planning to marry this comrade?" Ni Yanqing asked with a smile.
"Marry? This whore who sleeps with everyone," Zhu said disdainfully. "Last night, she was all over me. She used to be as emotionless as a log; I wondered what changed, turns out she mistook me for someone else, tsk."
The farce started quickly and ended even faster.
After breakfast, Yi Roujing’s group, without even saying goodbye to the Wang Family Sisters, directly took a transport truck back to the farm along with Liu Xudong.
"Sir..."
"I told you, just call my name." Xu Ancheng, listening to Liu Xudong’s address, really wanted to sigh helplessly.
"I forgot," Liu Xudong said, grinning sheepishly and scratching the back of his head.
Yi Roujing, observing Liu Xudong’s demeanor, was a bit surprised, finding it different from her initial impression.
"Comrade Yi Roujing, this is how I truly am. There was a bit of pretense before," Liu Xudong replied, embarrassed.
"I have my own reasons for staying with that group, Ancheng knows them. You can ask him."
"Ordered by his father to be an undercover," Xu Ancheng interjected, "to unravel Chen Guangzhi’s network. This time, he has done a great job and made significant contributions."
"Hehe," Liu Xudong chuckled, a bit smug.
"Why were you so rough with my sister-in-law that day," Ding Anmin complained slightly.
"I wasn’t really," Yi Roujing interjected with some understanding, "he went easy secretly, otherwise, I couldn’t have protected you or stalled for time."
"Comrade Yi Roujing is skilled," Liu Xudong said sincerely, "it’s the first time I’ve met such a capable female comrade."
It’s been a while since they last visited the farm; fortunately, the wild boar meat and such were made into smoked meats, otherwise, they would have gone bad. After staying a night, the group planned to head to Jing City the next day.
"From now on, you’ll stay here. You can also arrange for any of the brothers who have no place to stay here. But if someone wants to use it, you’ll need to move out. Just keep your belongings in the rooms as you wish," Xu Ancheng instructed.
This place was approved by Ni Yanqing, not charging rent, but instead investing money into Xu Ancheng’s business—this was considered part of the initial investment.
"We can come and go in such a big place?" Liu Xudong was somewhat surprised, he even saw a hot spring, "Can we use it?"
"As long as you’re clean, of course, you can, but you have to wash thoroughly before going in," Xu Ancheng replied.
"Of course."
Leaving Liu Xudong to explore, Xu Ancheng and Ni Yanqing left first.
"Is the Ni Family gradually distancing themselves from those people?" Xu Ancheng was somewhat surprised. Ni Yanqing actually suggested letting Liu Xudong and the others stay at the farm, especially considering so many important people visit this place.
"Truly smart," Ni Yanqing looked at Xu Ancheng, "With your qualifications, aren’t you afraid Mr. Xu will be disappointed if you don’t enter politics?"
"No worries, there’s Anguo," Xu Ancheng replied with a smile.
"Anguo is quite promising, but aren’t you more so?"
"But Anguo isn’t cut out for business," Xu Ancheng smiled, "and I always wanted to go into this, although I’m capable of dabbling in politics, I don’t like that atmosphere."
"You think doing business doesn’t require engaging in such atmospheres? Socializing is unavoidable," Ni Yanqing raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I have you all, and my dad can hold on until I establish the business. With strong backing, even socializing would be easy," Xu Ancheng responded.
"And if socializing is inevitable, I’d rather choose a career I like, right?"
"Then we’re relying on you, Ancheng, to earn lots of money. We depend entirely on you," Ni Yanqing patted Xu Ancheng on the shoulder, feigning solemn encouragement.
"Oh, by the way, I have a project I plan to discuss with Junbu. It’s not a big project, just military water bottles and such small items..." Xu Ancheng wouldn’t miss the chance to leverage every connection; businesses collaborating with the state are the most sustainable, which requires networking now.
"Cough, cough, I knew you were up to something, using us somehow. I’ll talk to my grandfather about it," Ni Yanqing said with a laugh, "Of course, assuming the products meet the quality standards."
"They will, definitely." Xu Ancheng had already investigated the market in recent days.
"Seems like we might be splitting profits soon," Ni Yanqing nodded, joining in on the joke, "Ancheng, where else are you planning to do business? I have some assets; I can invest them all."
"Rest assured, when money is needed, you all will be the first I’ll turn to." Xu Ancheng had his plans; business can’t thrive in isolation, and he eyed Ni Yanqing, Jiang Bomeng, and the others early on, all with the right connections and financial resources.
Ni Yanqing wanting to be fully involved was also because of the farm’s borrowing this time, which also drew in the Xu Family, and Xu Zongyin approving Xu Ancheng’s actions indicated that the Xu Family was firmly supporting the Ni Family.
