Jiang Chen showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"It's actually a pretty superstitious method. I told other people about it before, but they didn't believe me. Mr. Chen, please don't laugh at me for saying this, but I'm a highly educated person, and I actually believe in this."

Mr. Chen looked at him expectantly, clapping his hands repeatedly to assure him that he wouldn't laugh at him: "Actually, there are indeed some highly skilled people in our folk culture, but times have changed, and those old skills have gradually been lost, so everyone thinks it's superstition. Take traditional Chinese medicine, for example. In fact, the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating diseases is no less than that of Western medicine, but it has not become the mainstream trend."

"Mr. Chen's insights are truly unique!" Jiang Chen took the opportunity to flatter him.

Under repeated urging from the other party, Jiang Chen mysteriously took out the protective pouch that Zhang Hao had given him from his pocket.

"This is a talisman that was blessed by a master and given to me. At that time, my body had poor resistance, I was often sick, I had insufficient blood and energy, I was listless, my work efficiency dropped sharply, and even my brain reacted much slower, so I often couldn't keep up with the pace at work."

President Chen stared intently at the brocade pouch in his hand, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

"Later, I had no choice but to resign. Then I met that wise man. I saw him almost fall on the street, so I helped him up. He suddenly told me that I seemed to have been cursed, and then he gave me this. After I wore it, all my ailments quickly disappeared, and I fully recovered my health, getting better day by day."

After hearing this, President Chen reached out to take a look at the brocade pouch, but Jiang Chen quickly pulled her hand back.

"Mr. Chen, this thing is something you can't buy even if you have the money. It's my treasure, and I won't let anyone else touch it."

"Am I an outsider? What's our relationship? Let me see if this thing is really as amazing as you say?"

Seeing how much Jiang Chen valued the brocade pouch, General Manager Chen felt more trust in him and wanted to take a closer look.

After a brief exchange, Jiang Chen, seemingly feeling it wouldn't be right to offend his superior, reluctantly handed the brocade pouch to General Manager Chen.

As soon as Mr. Chen received the brocade pouch, he suddenly felt much better, as his body, which had been tormented by illness, was relieved. Even his mind became clear and refreshed, and his previous negative state was swept away.

This thing is actually so effective!
Mr. Chen's eyes lit up, and he gripped the brocade pouch tightly in his hand, reluctant to let go.

"Mr. Chen, these are my things, you should return them to me."

Jiang Chen coughed and cautiously reminded him.

I should have known better than to use this to test him. This old man seems to want to keep the brocade pouch for himself.

"Hey, young man, how can you be so stingy! Let me borrow this for a bit. Maybe it's just psychological, but it really does feel much more comfortable wearing it. Don't worry, I won't take it for free. How about this, I'll give you a 5 yuan raise as a thank you, okay?"

Jiang Chen looked displeased, but didn't want to express his dissatisfaction directly, so he stammered, "When exactly will you return this to me, Mr. Chen? This thing is really important to me!"

"It'll only be two or three days, don't be so stingy. If it really works, introduce me to that expert, and I'll give you a big red envelope as a token of my gratitude!"

Jiang Chen had no choice but to reluctantly agree, and then left looking dejected.

Meanwhile, at Wei Yuze's home, he looked at an antique calligraphy brush in a box, and his expression suddenly became serious.

Zi Yue sat on the sofa next to her with a grin. From her appearance, she no longer looked like the devil she once was; she looked like a carefree rich kid.

"what happened?"

Ziyue asked with a grin.

"The nourishing ingredients in the Judge's Pen have decreased significantly, something's not right... Could it be that those people have sabotaged our plans again? If that's the case, then we have to deal with those three! We absolutely cannot let them ruin our plans!"

Wei Yuze stared at the fading aura of the judge's pen, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.

"This thing is indeed quite useful to you, but to me, it's nothing special. I'm strong enough on my own, so it doesn't matter whether I have it or not."

"But the record of fortune, misfortune, life, and death in your hands can only be effective if it is written with this pen. If this pen cannot continue to be nourished and upgraded, you..."

"Alright, alright, go check it out. Come back and let me know if you find anything." Ziyue seemed a little impatient.

"Don't always have this attitude. The matter of Jin Buhuan was exposed faster than we expected. We absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes this time."

"Are you exaggerating? Although we were exposed quickly, we are still under control overall. Besides, I've told you before that while the Judge's Pen is important to me, it's not irreplaceable. It's just a little troublesome to use. Don't try to use those petty tricks against me."

“I didn’t mean that, but the situation is indeed urgent, and you need to find out what’s going on.”

Ziyue gave him an OK sign, indicating that he should investigate and take action if there were any problems.

On the other hand, after Jiang Chen's protective pouch was taken away, he was worried that something might happen to him, so he told Zhang Hao about it that night.

“I just wanted to test him at the time. After all, you said that most people who get infected will experience a sudden and significant drop in physical fitness. Mr. Chen was in that situation, and as a result, he lost his protective charm.”

Jiang Chen became more and more regretful as he spoke. If there were a pill to undo regrets, he would definitely be the first one to buy it and take it.

"From what you've said, the situation does seem quite serious. Here's what I'll do: I'll have someone investigate Mr. Chen's recent health condition privately. As for the protective pouch, I'll make you another one. But you absolutely mustn't reveal it again; instead, pretend you're eager to get the original back and see how he reacts."

Zhang Hao arranged the next steps and remade one in front of them.

He took out a box of cinnabar, a pen, and a piece of yellow talisman paper. He dipped the pen tip in cinnabar and quickly drew a talisman on the talisman paper.

Not only that, he also took a blade of grass, transformed it into a tiny person in front of everyone, wrapped the talisman paper around the tiny person, and finally stuffed it into a brocade pouch.

The moment it was completed, the brocade pouch emitted a faint light, and those who were illuminated by this light felt refreshed.

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as she watched, her admiration for Zhang Hao flowing endlessly like a surging river.

"If they ask you to make an introduction, decline it first, then agree. I'll handle it. If we can use this person, we'll bring them to our side. Wei Yuze's matter is not simple; we must investigate it thoroughly and not leave behind serious consequences like the Jin Buhuan incident."

Zhang Hao solemnly instructed.

"Mr. Zhang, please rest assured. I know what to do. Leave this to me, and I will definitely not let you down."

Jiang Chen assured him confidently. When he arrived at the company, General Manager Chen had personally come to hold a meeting that day. The moment he appeared in the office, all the rumors and speculations circulating about him instantly vanished.

The company's senior executives quietly put aside their original ulterior motives and began to concentrate on their work.

Mr. Chen's drastic change naturally attracted the attention of those who were interested. Wei Yuze, who had been wondering where the problem lay, suddenly found the perfect suspect.

He walked into Mr. Chen's company alone, intending to pay him a visit. Because he walked slowly down the corridor, the two executives chatting ahead of him were completely unaware that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

"President Chen is still in such good health! I don't know which scoundrel said he was dying, it really made everyone in the company panic. Now that President Chen has appeared in person, he looks so energetic, even we young people can't keep up!"

"President Chen is really something. This time he even poached a very capable vice president, and I heard he's partnered with a big company. We'd better work hard now, or we'll be in big trouble if someone reports our past performance to President Chen."

"Yes, everything is moving in a positive direction, we just need to keep working hard."

Wei Yuze, who was some distance away, couldn't feel happy at all when he heard what the two executives said.

Normally, Mr. Chen should have died by now, but he's still alive and well.

Wei Yuze stepped into the elevator and went straight to President Chen's office floor.

When I met Mr. Chen in person, he was radiant and full of energy, showing no signs of being unhealthy at all.

Wei Yuze greeted him with a smile: "President Chen, I'm here to discuss some details of our collaborative project with you. I heard you weren't feeling well before, but it seems those words were indeed unreliable."

Mr. Chen was in a good mood and smiled as he invited Wei Yuze to sit down. He even poured him tea himself, saying, "Speaking of which, this matter is quite bizarre. Come, come, let me brew you a pot of good tea today. Anyway, we have plenty of time, so let's chat slowly."

As he spoke, Mr. Chen brewed tea and recounted his recent experiences.

"Lately, for some reason, work has been going quite smoothly, but I've always felt incredibly tired. Eventually, I just couldn't take it anymore, and guess what? Right then, I encountered an absolutely miraculous turning point!"

At this point, Mr. Chen suddenly shut his mouth mysteriously, looking as if he didn't want to say any more.

Wei Yuze was listening intently when the other party suddenly stopped at this crucial moment, just like watching a movie and reaching the climax only to have it abruptly end!
"Mr. Chen, what miraculous turn of events was that? Tell me about it!"

"Well, you probably won't believe it if I told you, and it's not something to publicize. Anyway, let's not talk about that today. In short, just know that cooperating with me is absolutely a guaranteed profit! Come, come, have some tea!"

Wei Yuze wore a gentle smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. As the other person lowered his head to sip his tea, a murderous glint even flashed in his eyes.

After a few casual words, Wei Yuze casually remarked, "Actually, my situation is similar to yours. After my business took off, I also felt extremely tired, and my physical condition has clearly declined. But I can't find a way to improve it, which is really frustrating. Mr. Chen, if you could tell me your solution, I would owe you a huge favor, and I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Wei Yuze is now a rising star in the business world. If you can get such a person to owe you a favor, it will definitely be a profitable deal.

With that in mind, President Chen was indeed tempted.

"This matter is indeed quite mysterious. I'm only telling you this because I can see you're genuinely asking for advice. Mr. Wei, please don't tell anyone else."

Mr. Chen's mysterious demeanor made Wei Yuze even more wary.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm not the kind of person who likes to gossip, and I won't talk about it everywhere."

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Mr. Chen, I've brought the project cooperation materials you requested. May I come in?"

Jiang Chen's voice came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, President Chen smiled knowingly and raised an eyebrow at Wei Yuze, saying, "President Wei, it's truly a case of speaking of the devil and he appears!"

Wei Yuze frowned slightly. Could this miraculous turning point be him?

To be honest, this person is indeed quite lucky; his destiny is clearly that of a capable and wealthy individual. He even cast a curse on this person during a previous dinner gathering.

Logically, this person should be starting to run into problems by now. But upon closer observation, it was discovered that this person was completely unaffected; on the contrary, he seemed to have gained the appreciation of his superiors and was poised for a meteoric rise to prominence.

This is illogical! Unless his curse has broken down.

Mr. Chen said to the door, "Come in, we're all family here, don't be shy." The door opened, and Jiang Chen walked in with a smile.

He was quite surprised to see Wei Yuze, and at the same time, he felt a little flustered. He wasn't ready to investigate this person directly. Mr. Zhang had told him that this man was unfathomable and capable of taking lives silently.

"President Wei, what brings you here in person today?" Jiang Chen greeted him calmly, exuding the air of a workplace elite.

Wei Yuze personally pulled out the empty chair next to him and invited Jiang Chen to sit down.

“We were just talking about you. You’ve come at the right time. Mr. Chen said that the focus of everything going forward is on you.”

Jiang Chen immediately became alert. Her hand, which had been in her pocket, quietly tapped the phone number she was calling Zhang Hao, keeping the call on silent the entire time.

On the other side, Zhang Hao was chatting with Lao Zhang when his phone suddenly rang. He answered it and heard a noisy conversation coming from the other end of the line.

They were talking about the protective amulet.

Mr. Chen happily pulled out his protective pouch, as if he were holding a precious treasure, afraid that someone would snatch it away.

"This is it. My body was almost giving out, but it was thanks to this that I slowly recovered. Look at me now, I'm stronger than an ox!"

Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly. That damned President Chen, didn't he promise to keep it a secret? Now he actually told Wei Yuze directly!

"This protective pouch was given to me by President Jiang."

Jiang Chen couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted President Chen, "President Chen, I remember telling you that this protective pouch was only a temporary loan for two or three days, and you would return it to me then. Why are you making it sound like I've already given it to you?" (End of Chapter)
