Several people looked over, and Xu Xuejiao walked towards them.

Today, Xu Xuejiao was wearing boots, a trench coat, and sunglasses.

She had suddenly become mature and steady. Not to mention, with her height of a little over 1.6 meters, her proportions were actually well-balanced, making her look like she was 1.7 meters tall.

Xu Xuejiao's makeup also appeared more mature and steady as she walked up with a straight face.

Lu Chengwen looked at her, "Why are you getting involved?"

"I saw an injustice."

Long Aotian looked at Xu Xuejiao and cupped his fists, "Mr. Xuejiao, it's been a while."

Xu Xuejiao covered her nose, "Wow, what's that smell on you? Did you fall into a cesspool?"

Long Aotian thought to himself that he really needed to find a place to shower; this wouldn't do.

While his clothes were simple, the stench was too much of a downgrade.

Jiang Shihan said, "CEO Xu, CEO Lu is going to fire me!"

"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare."

Lu Chengwen smiled, "What wouldn't I dare to do? I, Lu Chengwen, have always acted freely, without looking at anyone else's face."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lu Chengwen thought:

Xu Xuejiao is difficult to deal with, I need to take it slow. The main thing is that Long Aotian is here right now, and I absolutely cannot offend him. Long Aotian's martial arts are extraordinary, and he's determined to kill me, so I absolutely must not provoke this idiot.

Xu Xuejiao narrowed her eyes:

So that's how it is. So this Long Aotian is a master, and he has a grudge with Lu Chengwen. Hmm, I understand.

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao, who didn't seem to have good intentions, and thought again:

What's with that expression, you little brat? Are you trying to control me? You're still too young to play games with me, little girl!

Xu Xuejiao showed a cold smile:

That's right, Brother Chengwen. Xuejiao already knows almost all of your trump cards. Controlling you doesn't seem that difficult.

Afraid of this Long Aotian, huh? But I must say, this Long Aotian truly has an aura that dares to charge into immense disaster. If he really is a master, he might just be your nemesis, Brother Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao's cold smile and felt a bit uneasy.

This brat is so confident? What can she do to me if I fire Jiang Shihan? Long Aotian is determined to have the beauties from the Leng, Xu, and Chen families. I absolutely cannot compete with him. Otherwise, I'll have nowhere to die.

Jiang Shihan is also one of his chosen harem heroines. Although she's not as important, not a main heroine, as long as she's in his chosen harem, I absolutely cannot touch her.

No matter what, I'll deal with Xu Xuejiao and the others later. I'll handle Jiang Shihan first today.

Others couldn't tell, they only thought Lu Chengwen was in a heated confrontation with Xu Xuejiao.

In reality, both had their own thoughts and had already exchanged several blows internally.

Lu Chengwen said, "In short, I will strictly enforce the 'Labor Law' and provide her with more than enough severance pay and various compensation. Heh heh, firing her is legal, reasonable, and justified. No one can do anything to me."

"Oh? Is that so?" Xu Xuejiao asked triumphantly.

"Isn't it?" Lu Chengwen replied proudly.

Xu Xuejiao smiled, "CEO Lu, could I speak with you privately?"

Lu Chengwen appeased Long Aotian, "Brother Aotian, please wait a moment. Today, I guarantee you'll be able to take Jiang Shihan with you."

Long Aotian was speechless.

What was this?

I haven't even made a move, and you're already giving up?

Was... was my aura that powerful? Do I not even need to fight as the villain? Just standing here with my stench is enough?

Xu Xuejiao walked aside, "You can't fire Jiang Shihan."

"There's no room for negotiation on this matter," Lu Chengwen said dismissively, tidying his clothes. "It's already decided."

"Oh, if Brother Chengwen is determined to fire her, that's fine. But then I'll have to tell Long Aotian what you did to me."

Lu Chengwen looked up, "What did I do to you?"

"That depends on what I say!"

Lu Chengwen felt a sense of dread.

How does she know that Long Aotian is my weakness!?

This brat, is she sent by God to torment me?

Xu Xuejiao said, "I'll say you touched me, kissed me, and assaulted me; I'll say you drugged me and took my virginity, ah, and you took it several times; I'll also say you hit me, cursed at me, threatened me, and made me wear stockings to dance for you; I'll also say you..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

Do I need to say so much? Any one of these accusations would be a death sentence from Long Aotian.

The later ones basically mean I'm pulverized into ashes.

But Lu Chengwen outwardly appeared unconcerned: "Do you think he'll believe it?"

Xu Xuejiao giggled and pulled Lu Chengwen closer: "Look at Long Aotian."

"Hm?"

"Does he seem like a magnanimous person? Do you think... he believes it or not?"

Lu Chengwen slowly turned his head, narrowing his eyes, and looked at Xu Xuejiao with hatred.

Yeah.

It made sense.

Were any of the main male protagonists in web novels ever magnanimous?

They were all petty individuals who sought revenge for the slightest offense!

When they needed to win people over, they'd act incredibly generous, as if their bellies could fit aircraft carriers.

But the moment their heroine was snatched away by a villain, their expressions would change instantly.

What kind of broad-mindedness?

What kind of "forgive and forget when possible"?

If I can't kill you, I'm your grandson! If you touch the protagonist's woman, who else but you deserves to die?

Forget believing or not, if you were the protagonist, would you believe your heroine or a villain?

Besides, does he need to believe? Does he?

No!

What he needs is an excuse! An excuse to kill me!

He had been acting subservient to Long Aotian precisely because he was withholding that reason, preventing him from making a move.

Now, if Xu Xuejiao went to complain, all his efforts would be in vain.

Long Aotian wouldn't even need to think, wouldn't need to ask if it was true; killing him would satisfy him and keep the plot on track...

Lu Chengwen chuckled.

"Uh... Sister Xuejiao, come, come, let's talk, let's chat, okay."

Lu Chengwen decided to reason with her:

"Look, they are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, talented and beautiful, right? Right? If we just lend a little help, they can fly off together and become a beautiful legend. Why wouldn't we do such a good deed?"

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen: "What talent does Long Aotian have? I think you're the talented one. Why are you always so afraid of him? Why don't you dare to fight him?"

"Oh, I absolutely dare not say such things, dare not speak like that!"

Lu Chengwen said: "Sister Xuejiao, just pity me. It wasn't easy for me to survive until the third day. Just let him take Jiang Shihan away. Firing her doesn't mean abandoning her; I'll continue to pay her salary every month until she dies. That should be enough, right?"

Xu Xuejiao pouted and shook her head: "No."

"Even that's not okay!? Why!?"

Lu Chengwen roared internally: I don't understand!

Xu Xuejiao chuckled: "I just think it's fun, and I just don't want you to fire her. You definitely have some ulterior motive. Once I know what you're planning, I can decide whether to fire Jiang Shihan or not."

Lu Chengwen was going crazy: "Big sister, you're going to play me to death like this! I really don't have any bad intentions!"

"If I play you to death, so be it. The most important thing is that everyone is happy."

Lu Chengwen said angrily: "Xu Xuejiao! Don't push your luck too far!"

Xu Xuejiao was taken aback. She turned and walked forward, feigning pitifulness. Not a single tear fell, but she cried as if it were real:

"Brother Aotian, do you know what President Lu did to me? Yesterday, he gave me some medicine... After taking it, I couldn't help but feel hot all over and wanted to take off my clothes. Then he took me to..."

Lu Chengwen rushed out to pull her back.

Long Aotian was furious: "Lu Chengwen, what did you do to Sister Xuejiao!? Huh! My King's Aura is about to go out of control!"

Lu Chengwen was about to break down.

He grabbed Xu Xuejiao and appeased Long Aotian: "No! No! Brother, your King's, no, your King... you're a king, no, you're a live king, ah, it was me who made you a live king... I misspoke, your King's Aura, let's just calm it down, calm it down."

"What I gave her was... medicine for diarrhea. Yesterday, for some reason, she suddenly had stomach problems, and after taking the medicine, she would feel hot."

"I took her to... a small clinic. That clinic is very good at treating diarrhea..."

Long Aotian looked at Xu Xuejiao.

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao almost pleadingly.

Big sister, this is no joke! If you keep this up, I'm really going to die here today!

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen's frightened expression and chuckled.

"Then... Shihan..."

Lu Chengwen let out a frustrated sigh: "She's not fired, she'll never be fired. As long as you don't say so, I won't fire her."

"And also..."

"And also?"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself, What else do you want?

Xu Xuejiao said, "You can't force her to leave, nor can you marginalize her. You have to keep her by your side, as your personal secretary."

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

If you weren't the Main Heroine, I'd kill you in a second! You little brat!

What business is it of yours who I keep as a sexy secretary around me? Why do you even care about this?

Xu Xuejiao stifled a laugh.

Hehehe, this is fun.

Main Heroine? He calls me that, it's quite interesting.

Yeah, it's none of my business, but I just feel like you have a lot of little secrets.

I just can't let your little schemes succeed.

Am I smart or what?

"So, are you agreeing or not?" Xu Xuejiao asked smugly.

Lu Chengwen's mouth moved for a long time. Xu Xuejiao was about to fake cry again, saying to Long Aotian, "Brother Aotian, yesterday he kept… on my chest repeatedly…"

Lu Chengwen yanked her back.

He roared internally:

You win!

You're my ancestor!

Long Aotian roared angrily, "What did you do to Sister Xuejiao's chest!?"

Lu Chengwen held up one finger. "Bro, hold off on your King's Aura for a sec, just wait."

He said to Jiang Shihan, "Shihan, I'm officially rescinding your dismissal. Work hard, I have high hopes for you."

"Thank you, President Lu! Thank you, President Lu!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao. "This should be enough, right?"

Xu Xuejiao had won and was very happy.

Long Aotian walked over, pulled Xu Xuejiao behind him, and faced Lu Chengwen, his expression already very grim.

"What did you do to Sister Xuejiao's chest!? Tell me!"

Lu Chengwen was already speechless.

"I..."

Xu Xuejiao from behind pushed Long Aotian away. "Wow, you guy, hurry up and find a place to wash yourself. You really look like you crawled out of a cesspool."

"Sister Xuejiao, what that beast did to your chest, I will get revenge for you!"

"Oh, what can he do to my chest? What's it to you what he does? Go away, go away!"

"Sister Xuejiao, don't be afraid of him, I, Long Aotian, will protect you!"

"Can you go wash up first?"

"But..."

"But what? You stink so bad, it's disgusting. I was just kidding around with Brother Chengwen, you stay out of it..."

Lu Chengwen felt like spitting blood.

No! Don't provoke him!

Big male protagonists have holes in their brains. If you provoke him, he won't hate you, he'll only hate me!

As expected, Long Aotian suddenly turned his head, his angry gaze fixing on Lu Chengwen so intensely that Lu Chengwen's legs went weak, almost making him kneel.
