Chapter 794: Chapter 794: 794: Flexible Bottom Line Standards

“Bullshit!”

The Taoist priest looked gentle and benevolent, but he had a fierce temper.

After listening to An Nuonuo’s words, he burst into foul language, “What double-layered techniques, it’s all nonsense.”

“Pure bullshit, what the hell is that?”

“Damn it, I really want to smack him with a brush!”

An Nuonuo: “…”

Ah, this——

This Taoist priest is really——a man of temperament.

An Nuonuo felt this was completely different from the sage-like figure she had imagined.

However, she didn’t feel it abrupt or presumptuous; instead, she found it quite approachable.

She tentatively asked, “Then, Priest, could you help me look at my and my husband’s birth characters again?”

The priest nodded, “Show me.”

A few minutes later.

The priest slapped his thigh.

“My goodness, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a compatible match.”

“Young lady, you and your husband are simply a match made in heaven, a rarity in this world.”

“Perfect, it’s just too perfect.”

An Nuonuo showed a delighted expression.

When she left Lantian Temple earlier, she reminded herself not to believe in feudal superstitions and to trust science.

Now, well——

She thought the priest was right!

The priest then said, “Young lady, please extend your right hand, I want to look at your palm lines.”

An Nuonuo did as instructed.

After looking at it for a few moments, the smile on the priest’s face disappeared.

The way he looked at An Nuonuo carried a trace of horror.

“Priest, what’s wrong?”

Feeling uneasy with the priest’s expression, An Nuonuo asked.

“Gulp!”

The priest couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and chuckled awkwardly, “Nothing, it’s just that I’m surprised to see that the young lady is destined for great wealth, a rarity in this world.”

“Young lady, you needn’t worry about the issue of offspring, the time hasn’t come yet, but when it does, you will have children and grandchildren around.”

“Phew~”

An Nuonuo breathed a sigh of relief.

The priest is dependable after all!

She left after giving one hundred thousand yuan as a donation.

The priest looked at An Nuonuo’s retreating figure, his expression more solemn than ever, “How is that possible, such a fate, can only be…”

He couldn’t help but carefully calculate Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo’s birth characters once more.

And then he breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s not in this country, but a fresh start elsewhere, well, that’s good, that’s good.”

The priest wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He had thought a great disaster was imminent.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

The priest quickly became cheerful again.

With one hundred thousand in donation money, why not visit the brothel and listen to some music tonight?

————————

On the way back, An Nuonuo told Jiang Xu everything that happened today.

Unlike those romance novels where a tiny misunderstanding goes unaddressed, then escalates, transforming into an uncontrollable feud between the man and woman.

An Nuonuo had a mouth to speak.

After the call with An Nuonuo ended, Jiang Xu sent people to investigate.

Malice surged in his eyes.

He suspected that Liu Qiang was behind this.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before it was confirmed that Liu Qiang was the one playing tricks behind the scenes.

It seemed a profound lesson was in order.

Thinking this, Jiang Xu had an idea.

He assigned Liu Dahai a task.

To make sure Liu Qiang was tricked into going to the neighboring Snake Country.

A certain type of surgery there is very advanced and mature.

“Since you like someone else’s wife so much, why not turn yourself into a ‘wife’?

Liu Dahai shuddered at this command.

So scary.

I must never offend the boss.

Otherwise, I might wake up to find myself transformed from a brawny man of one meter eighty into a delicate little girl.

The next day.

Jiang Xu arrived ten minutes early at the venue for the press conference.

Zhou Mengmeng was already there.

However, she was wearing a mask of the Pleasant Goat on her face.

She was also dressed in a black long dress, which was unlike her usual style.

At the moment, Zhou Mengmeng was surrounded by many staff members.

“Ahh, ‘Demon Queen,’ could you take a picture with me?”

“My husband loves you so much, if you’d marry him, I would be willing to serve you.”

“Wow, ‘Demon Queen’ smells so good and is so cute, I want to *.”

——————————

Jiang Xu’s mouth twitched.

He hadn’t expected the staff to be so enthusiastic, and all of them were fans of Zhou Mengmeng.

This also made Jiang Xu see the huge potential in her.

Zhou Mengmeng’s popularity both online and offline was probably close to that of a top-tier actress.

And yet, she hadn’t been exposed to the public eye.

Once she did, with her stunning beauty, it was sure to trigger a massive surge in popularity.

After dealing with the enthusiastic staff, Zhou Mengmeng finally noticed Jiang Xu’s arrival.

She walked over with small, delicate steps, her voice soft, “Good morning, Mr. Jiang~”

It had to be said, this woman knew how to play the game.

She used to call him Brother Xu.

Now, suddenly switching to Mr. Jiang created a sense of distance.

Normally, this would annoy a man or make him feel discontented.

However, Jiang Xu didn’t think in that direction.

Call me whatever you want, he didn’t care.

“Your popularity is even higher than I imagined,” Jiang Xu said with a smile. “Do you have any interest in debuting, or becoming a contracted live streamer? I can offer you all my resources.”

With Zhou Mengmeng’s talent and looks, it was definitely a surefire profitable deal.

As a businessman, he instinctively wanted to seize any opportunity to make money.

“Thank you, Mr. Jiang, but for now, I prefer to focus on my studies,” Zhou Mengmeng said with a smile.

Underneath her mask, her eyes, which could melt steel, took several more glances at Jiang Xu.

This man had gained considerable favor in Zhou Mengmeng’s heart since he saved her cousin the last time.

And today, she even had the chance to spend time alone with Jiang Xu.

Well, except for those unnamed staff members.

Soon they were seated in the main seats.

Zhou Mengmeng sat upright, the picture of a well-behaved girl.

She didn’t seem to have any intention of conversing with Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu’s fondness for the young girl increased yet again.

The main reason was that Zhou Mengmeng wasn’t showing any signs of ulterior motives towards him, and she kept a good sense of propriety.

This would make Jiang Xu feel more comfortable in their interaction.

Underneath the mask, Zhou Mengmeng’s lips curved into a slight smile.

She knew all too well how to handle men.

When not yet very familiar, it’s important to maintain one’s reserve.

Don’t talk too much, and don’t reveal your need or purpose towards the target.

It’s just like keeping the image of a little lamb in front of prey.

Let them lower their guard.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then, when you’re right in front of the prey, unexpectedly bare your fangs.

With a snap, swallow the prey whole.

The press conference went very smoothly.

Jiang Xu’s presence brought an enormous amount of additional popularity to the event.

Plus, with Jiang Xu’s support, the animated film premiering tomorrow night soared in popularity.

After the press conference ended, Zhou Mengmeng smiled at Jiang Xu and said, “Mr. Jiang, thank you for your help today. I’d like to invite you and Nuonuo to dinner, may I?”
