Chapter 121: The Adulatory Xiao Jing
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Xiao Jing was called to the president’s office when he arrived at his office. As soon as he entered the office, he saw Qiao Liang sitting behind his desk, carefully reading documents and writing instructions on them.
He went over with a dark face, sat down in the chair in front of his desk and asked coldly, “What’s up?”
Qiao Liang threw the documents in his hand to Xiao Jing and asked seriously, “How do you explain this?”
Xiao Jing took the document and flipped over several pages, and a smile appeared on his face. Haha, he had finally found something to retaliate against Qiao Liang! He said, “Well, you know that. After all, Rourou wasn’t given birth to by my mom and dad, and her biological parents set the engagement for her and Liu Chengyu. I can see that Liu Chengyu really likes Rourou. For her, he even publicized the evil deeds of that Yao Jinning. Now Yao Jinning is like a rat crossing the street.”
“I mean, why does Liu Chengyu know about this?” Qiao Liang had previously seen that Liu Chengyu follow Tang Xi to the entrance of her school and look at her from afar with a fascinated look, which had greatly displeased him.
No longer unhappy, Xiao Jing leisurely sat in the chair, leaned back and looked at Qiao Liang as he replied, “Oh, Liu Chengyu heard about it while we were quarreling with Yao Jinning.” Then he sat up straight with a smile and continued, “I find that Liu Chengyu is really a good person. When he found out that his real fiancée had suffered so much, he immediately broke up with Yao Jinning. Because of his attitude, my aunt and uncle also changed their attitudes! I heard they were actively reaching out to my mom and dad.”
Qiao Liang looked deeply at the excited Xiao Jing and lowered his head to continue reading the documents. Disappointed at Qiao Liang’s reaction, Xiao Jing asked, “What do you think about it?”

Qiao Liang pursed his lips and asked Xiao Jing, “Why do your aunt and uncle want to be connected with the Liu family through marriage so much?”
“Of course because…” Xiao Jing looked up at Qiao Liang and suddenly swallowed back the words he was going to say, and gave a different reply instead. “Of course because my aunt and Liu Chengyu’s mother are good friends. They set the engagement for them when Rourou was still in my aunt’s tummy.”
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. “Really?”
“Of course!” Xiao Jing answered righteously. “While my aunt isn’t a nice person, she values her commitment a lot. Now she is also actively contacting my mom and dad and Rourou. Well, if Rourou is moved by my aunt and goes back to her biological parents, Liu Chengyu will become Rourou’s fiancé, right?” He looked at Qiao Liang with pity and added, “But don’t be sad. You’ll always be the one Rourou loves.”
Qiao Liang nodded and replied, “I am not sad. I think you should be the one being sad.”
Xiao Jing wondered aloud, “Why?”
Qiao Liang gave a smile, raised his hand and took a look at the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist. “It’s 9:15 now, and you didn’t go to punch in. Today, you are 15 minutes late. President Xiao, I’m reminding you that you can say goodbye to your 30 million yuan bonus this year.”
A roar resounded through Qiao Liang’s office. “Qiao Liang!”
Qiao Liang leaned back and looked at Xiao Jing with a faint smile as he made an inquiring sound. “Hmm?”
Xiao Jing bent over on the table and gave a fawning smile as he said, “I was wrong. I was really wrong. I shouldn’t have laughed at you. I should help you. Don’t deduct my bonus. If you need my help, just tell me! And don’t worry. I absolutely won’t let any other man get close to my sister, including Liu Chengyu! I’ll kick him to Africa if he dares approach my sister! Forgive me! Let my bonus stay by my side.”

“No, I’ve told them to do it. Although I am the boss, I can’t break the rule,” replied Qiao Liang with a straight face.
Xiao Jing was on the verge of bursting into tears when Qiao Liang suddenly said, “But I can give you an extra reward of 30 million yuan. Do you want it?”
Xiao Jing’s eyes lit up at his words. He asked, “How can I get it?”
“I want to have tea with Xixi this afternoon,” Qiao Liang said with a smile. “You can arrange it for Xixi, right?”
Xiao Jing took a look at Qiao Liang. “So simple?”
Qiao Liang nodded in response. “As long as you arrange it for me, I’ll give you 30 million yuan…” Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jing shouted, “Deal!”
Qiao Liang secretly smiled, and as he continued to read the documents in his hand, he threw some files on his desk to Xiao Jing, saying, “Get these done first.”
Xiao Jing opened the files and read several pages. With a squint, he looked up at Qiao Liang and asked, “So you’re finally going to sort out those people?”
“It’s time to do it,” Qiao Liang replied, smiling. “I didn’t touch them because I didn’t want them to distract me, but now it’s different. Now it’s time.”
Xiao Jing stopped talking. Yes, his mind was on Tang Xi before, so he was not in the mood to deal with those moths. Now that he knew that Tang Xi was still alive and deeply in love with him, he had the time and energy to deal with those people.
When Xiao Jing was going to walk out of the office with the files, Qiao Liang said in a cold voice, “I’ll settle them once and for all. Qiao s International Group doesn’t need ungrateful wolves. Since they’re so loyal to that person, they should let him feed them.”
Xiao Jing nodded, walked out and closed the door.
Qiao Liang rubbed between his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and then opened them again to continue reading the documents.
Not long after, Little Five came in. Seeing Qiao Liang busy working, he couldn’t help but say, “Young Master, please take a rest. You haven’t slept in a long time.”
Qiao Liang grunted but didn’t move. He couldn’t fall asleep in his bed, so he felt it was better to go to work.
Little Five said with pity, “Young Master, you can’t be holding on like that all the time.”
Qiao Liang grunted again, “I see. Go about your business.”
Little Five sighed, turned back, and went over to Xiao Jing’s office. A twinge of surprise flashed through Xiao Jing’s eyes when he saw Little Five, and he raised his eyebrows and remarked, “Little Five, you look more handsome since you went to the Pacific Ocean with your young master. Look at your skin. It’s well tanned.”
Little Five pursed his lips and asked, “Mr. Xiao Jing, can you do me a favor?”
Xiao Jing looked at Little Five vigilantly. “I don’t have money to lend you. Your young master just deducted my 30 million yuan bonus. I’m penniless…” And he still seemed to owe his sister a limited edition roadster!
Ouch! He was so poor!
Little Five scowled and said with great seriousness, “Mr. Xiao Jing, I’m not kidding around with you. Young Master has not slept for ten days. If he still doesn’t sleep, he may suddenly die. You know he won’t listen to us at all. Can you persuade him to go to sleep?”
