Chapter 32 - 32 32 Both Are Millennium-Old Foxes

32: Chapter 32: Both Are Millennium-Old Foxes 32: Chapter 32: Both Are Millennium-Old Foxes Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Xu Ning’s voice was low, sounding mournful.

Maybe because it was so mournful, she didn’t even wait for Su Lu to respond.

She just started speaking on her own, “Mr.

Su, I really can’t hide it anymore, Mr.

Su asks me every day about your residence in Hai City, I’ve lied several times, and today he came over and was so furious that his finger nearly poked my face.

Basically, he said if I deceive him again, he’ll fire me!”

She said this, but because Su Lu protected her subordinates quite well, Xu Ning’s voice didn’t show any fear.

After a pause, she added, “Although I don’t know on what grounds he can fire me… it’s not like he’s the one paying my salary, but still… he comes every day, speaks so harshly, I’m suffering too, Mr.

Su, save me!”

Xu Ning didn’t get a response from Su Lu; she then looked at the screen and saw the call had connected.

Uncertain, she called out, “Mr.

Su?”

Then she heard a low male voice, “She’s resting, not awake yet.”

Suddenly, there was silence.

Xu Ning was quiet for a moment, then tentatively asked in a low voice, “Mr.

Gu?

Are you with Mr.

Su?”

It wasn’t that she recognized Gu Xin’s voice—in fact, Xu Ning didn’t recognize his voice at all.

It was just that no other men appeared beside Su Lu.

Hearing this male voice, she assumed it was Gu Xin.

Hearing the words “Mr.

Gu”, Bo Jingshen’s brows knitted into a tight knot.

Xu Ning muttered quietly, “That’s odd… wasn’t Mr.

Gu abroad on vacation?”

Just yesterday, Su Lu had messaged him a happy vacation, as recently these matters had given Gu Xin quite a headache.

Chen Yaxi’s mood must not have been good, and she was also pregnant.

Gu Xin was taking her out to relax.

Bo Jingshen’s lips curled coldly.

This silly woman, sleeping like a piglet on the bed, was troubled by the rumors caused by that surname Gu, honorably injured, and fled to this stormy Hai City to avoid attention, only to be confined to the construction site, bearing all the bad luck.

And the instigator, surname Gu, actually took his little lover abroad on vacation?!

Xu Ning also realized something seemed off, “Uh… maybe when Mr.

Su wakes up, you could let her know… actually, never mind, I’ll call back later.”

As she spoke, Xu Ning was about to hang up.

She heard the man’s voice, still low but with a trace of coldness in his tone, “There’s nothing you can’t tell Su Yukan.

If he asks, just tell him the truth.”

“But Mr.

Su…” Xu Ning knew very well that Su Lu came to Hai City not just to avoid the rumors.

She also wanted to find some peace and escape the troubles of the Su Family.

So Xu Ning had been diligently deceiving Su Yukan…

“I’ll tell her when she wakes up, don’t worry.

And it’s impossible to hide it forever,” Bo Jingshen said calmly.

After all, Liu Qiming had already seen her in Hai City.

Besides, regardless of the trouble Su Yukan wanted to cause, Bo Jingshen could protect his own.

“Alright then… If possible, please let Mr.

Su know when she wakes up.”

After ending the call, any remaining sleepiness Bo Jingshen might have felt disappeared.

However, instead of sitting on the sofa, he took his tablet and moved to the bed.

He climbed into bed lightly, leaned against the headboard, and began working on his tablet.

Although the bed in the suite was large, the distance was still limited.

The room was very quiet, so even the smallest sound stood out.

Like the soft, slow breathing of the woman sleeping.

Gentle.

It seemed to blur the whole scene, coating it in a soft glow.

On the chat software, Jiang Su was online.

Jiang Su, known as Mr.

Jiang, was steady in his actions, with sharp insight and a keen business sense, far more reliable than his younger brother, Jiang Er.

The Old Jiang Family could let Jiang Er grow into a wastrel because they had this pillar of a firstborn.

Although Bo Jingshen was usually closer to Jiang Li, having met Jiang Su through Jiang Li, he had a good relationship with Jiang Su as well, sometimes they even had more to talk about.

Jiang Su: How long will you be in Hai City?

Bo Jingshen: Don’t know.

Jiang Su: Recovered from your injury?

Bo Jingshen: I’m fine.

Jiang Su: Heard you played the hero to save the beauty?

Bo Jingshen: Could your Jiang Er talk any more?

Jiang Su: Doesn’t seem like something you would do.

In Jiang Su’s view, both he and Bo Jingshen were not regarded as good people.

To achieve such a level of business success in a short time, one needed true skill, brains, luck, and a ruthlessness others lacked.

Sometimes, after being in business for a long time, you become a refined egoist.

Playing the hero to save the beauty… hardly seemed within their realm.

Jiang Su wasn’t wrong in saying that.

Bo Jingshen didn’t want to discuss this matter further.

Though he sometimes had more to talk about with Jiang Su due to their similarities, it was also because of this that he knew Jiang Su wasn’t as simple-minded as Jiang Er.

Jiang Su knew more than one might expect.

So some things didn’t need to be disclosed to him.

Bo Jingshen changed the subject.

He sent a voice message, “Instead of gossiping about me, you should think about how to stop Jiang Er from losing money on the projects I invested in.

You, as his elder brother, didn’t invest, so he’s targeting me for all his ideas.”

A voice message came back from the other end.

Jiang Su’s voice wasn’t as magnetic as Bo Jingshen’s, but it was still deep and steady, always calm and collected, as if nothing could rattle him.

Such an unhurried pace could put pressure on others during negotiations.

“Are you talking about the esports project he mentioned before?”

“What else?

Does he have any other projects worth a second look?

Or is it the luosifen chain he wanted me to invest in earlier?

Spare me.”

Jiang Su chuckled, “Alright, I won’t let you bear the risk alone.

Whatever you invest, I’ll match.

We can discuss the details when you return.”

“Alright.” Bo Jingshen had no objections to Jiang Su’s words; he had already expected him to say this.

It wasn’t just to avoid letting Bo Jingshen take all the risks.

Mr.

Jiang was sharp, and though he seemed dismissive of his brother, he still cared for him.

Naturally, he didn’t want his brother’s potentially successful project to make money, only for Bo Jingshen to take most of the profit, leaving his brother with little despite his hard work.

Bo Jingshen knew he’d invest.

After all, both were old foxes, not playing games with each other.

“So who should I have my people coordinate with on your end?” Jiang Su asked.

“Cheng Yan?

He’s back, right?”

Bo Jingshen paused for a moment, then replied with two words, “Su Lu.”
