Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

It would be more accurate to say that Scythe didn't understand what Jiang Lu said rather than that he just couldn't believe it.

After the [Ten Days of Hell] spiritual realm ended, he personally read Jiang Lu's file.

He grew up in an orphanage. If you don't say he is penniless, you can say he is living under someone else's roof. He doesn't even have a car, but now he says he has a private jet.

This is impossible just by thinking about it.

"Are you trying to hint that I should reward you with a plane?"

Scythe tapped the tabletop with his fingertips somewhat nervously:

"Although I admit that you have made a significant contribution in the negotiations, this request is still too much."

"is not what it means."

Jiang Lu said casually: "It's not my plane, it's the plane that came to pick me up. Didn't you say you were going to the headquarters? I want to go too."

Then, Jiang Lu told Kamadao that he had asked for leave from the guild and was preparing to go to Jinghu City.

But the sickle was still a little strange: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Jinghu City?"

But before Jiang Lu could organize his words, the HR director next to him thought of something, then leaned close to Sickle and whispered something.

After listening to the HR director's words, Scythe asked curiously, "Is the plane that came to pick you up related to the Xin faction?"

"Why are you asking so directly?" The HR director didn't expect that he had just told Sickle about his guess all along, and the latter asked so directly without any euphemism.

However, Scythe didn't seem to care about the HR director's thoughts at all. He just looked at Jiang Lu, waiting for his answer.

Jiang Lu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Yes."

"Hiss" the HR director took a breath and said, "Is that really the case?"

The impact of speculation and hearing the confession from the person involved is obviously different.

It turns out that Jiang Lu really has a close relationship with the Xin faction, which explains why he was able to settle down directly without going through the branch.

The other young exorcists present also looked at Jiang Lu in amazement.

They certainly knew what the Xin faction meant. When the former president Xin Yuanxing had not yet stepped down, this was the largest faction within the Exorcist Guild and had the greatest say.

Even though Xin Yuanxing has now retreated behind the scenes, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The Xin faction still enjoys many privileges and still has residual power. It can still compete with any other faction or even suppress it.

For exorcists with no background, being accepted by the Xin School is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

However, Jiang Lu is clearly more than just an ordinary success.

Someone personally sent a plane to pick him up to the headquarters. This was a treatment that even the middle-level officials of the Xin faction could not have. The only person capable of doing such a thing could be one of the few people in charge.

This made them start to speculate what kind of mysterious identity Jiang Lu had.

Could he be the old president’s illegitimate son?

They really wanted to ask, but were afraid of violating some taboo by speaking carelessly, so they did not dare to open their mouths.

Qingying and Hongchuang did not have this concern, but they were worried whether their relationship would be affected?
You know, in this era when exorcists are in power, the Xin faction can be called a family of aristocratic wealth. Even though Jiang Lu's last name is not Xin, judging from his treatment, his status is definitely frighteningly high.

But they can only be considered an exorcist group with some fame, and at best third-tier stars.

Is it possible for a third-tier star to gain the attention of a chaebol?

A-list celebrities are only meant to be treated as playthings, right?
So, they looked at each other, saw confusion in each other's eyes, and then started to have wild thoughts.

However, compared to the shock of the young exorcists, Scythe's reaction was much calmer.

"Is that so? Then I'll take advantage of you and fly to Jinghu City tomorrow."

"hiss"

The personnel minister took another breath and almost caused global warming.

Others don't understand Sickle, but he has worked with him for many years and understands his character.

But Scythe never likes to take advantage of others. Even if he starves to death, dies outside, or jumps off a building, he would never eat a bite of food from others.

But when he no longer cares about these issues of principle, it means that he has regarded the other party as someone he can make friends with and treats him sincerely, so he does not care about trivial matters.

But the gap in status between the two is obviously so huge, and when Sickle first met Jiang Lu, he seemed to have complained to him about the headquarters randomly stuffing people into the branch because he thought he was a relative who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

It's only been a few days, how come your attitude has changed so much?

This made the personnel minister feel incredible and a little annoyed.

If he had known that Jiang Lu would admit it so easily and be so easy to talk to, he should have asked him directly about his guess earlier.

Obviously, Sickle knew about Jiang Lu's background later than himself, but he ended up being the one who took advantage of the situation first and climbed up the ladder.

This is the rising star who is picked up and dropped off by Xin’s private jet. He will definitely become a powerful figure in the guild in the future. If you make friends with him now, you will definitely reap huge rewards in the future.

Now I am happy again, brother.

However, as Scythe's subordinate and good friend, the Human Resources Minister was somewhat relieved.

Sickle was too rigid, inflexible, and had no background, so he suffered a lot of oppression when he was young. Later, he relied on his own efforts and hard power to get his current piece of land. However, among dozens of branches, the Chishan branch is an extremely inconspicuous one.

If we can maintain some connections through Jiang Lu's relationship in Jinghu City this time, Sickle will definitely get more attention in the future, and the Chishan branch will have a much better time.

Just like the branch president of Qinghu District, because Xin Yuanxing is behind him, no matter how absurd he is, no one dares to say anything about him as long as there is no big trouble.

"No problem." Jiang Lu didn't know what the HR director was thinking, he just snapped his fingers and said, "Of course."

Next, it’s time for the celebration banquet.

Since Jiang Lu had just taken off his vest, although the actual situation of the vest was a little different from what everyone thought, it still made those young exorcists who were already a little distant from Jiang Lu seem a little restrained in front of him.

It was not until three rounds of drinks, and with Jiang Lu being very relaxed, that the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Classical music, blind boxes, and others no longer look as proud as they did when they first met.

One reason was that Jiang Lu had shown them his strength in the Spirit Realm, and in reality he had shown them how strong his connections were. The gap was so huge that they no longer even had the desire to catch up.

The second reason is that when a person becomes powerful, everyone around him will be a good person.

Not to mention not giving a good face, people won't even say harsh words to you.

This is the change brought about by the improvement of status.

What surprised them even more was that Jiang Lu was different from the second and third generation they imagined. He had no airs at all and seemed to have forgotten that they had looked down on him before. They were still very pleasant to get along with. "This is the charm of personality." Gu Dian Le, who was sitting opposite Jiang Lu, sighed silently: "How can I compare with him?"

Even though he was the leader of the Qinghu District's strategy team, and his position was equivalent to that of a sword-bearer, he still felt inferior to Jiang Lu.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and Jiang Lu returned to his private room only after he and Sickle agreed to set off together the next morning.

Accompanying him were naturally the light shadow and the red window.

Jiang Lu noticed that they were not in high spirits at the banquet, but he didn't know why.

It was not convenient to ask at that time, so he waited until the two returned to their room and closed the door before asking the reason.

But the answer he got surprised and incomprehensible to him.

It turned out that the two of them agreed that this kind of relationship between them and Jiang Lu would hardly have any result. After all, the gap in status among the three of them was too great, and they did not want to be treated as gold-diggers who curry favor with the powerful, so they felt very confused.

"I was saying that I always felt that everyone's attitude towards me suddenly became strange. Is it because of this?" Jiang Lu finally understood why everyone was so enthusiastic today.

"What do you mean?" Hong Chuang asked subconsciously, then thought of something and sighed: "Yes, what seems like a common thing to you will indeed cause a great shock to us."

"Putting aside whether you have misunderstood something, I didn't expect that you think our relationship is unlikely to have a result because of this." Jiang Lu shrugged: "You are her aunt and she is your niece. Don't you think this is difficult for the world to accept?"

Hearing this, Qingying's expression froze, her eyes immediately moistened, and she asked tremblingly: "You mean, you have never been serious?"

"Ah, that's not the case. I have seriously thought about whether to call you mom, sister, or mother-in-law in the future." Jiang Lu sighed: "Unfortunately, I haven't thought it through."

"Could it be that you actually want to... have a relationship with us?" Hong Chuang, who is the most open among the three and was the first to launch an offensive against Jiang Lu in the Spirit Realm, is the most embarrassed at this moment. Her face is flushed, and she stutters, unable to speak complete sentences.

"I can't be irresponsible, right? I'm a very traditional person."

Jiang Lu swore seriously:

"It's just that I'm still in the rising stage of my career, so I'm not considering marriage for the time being. But I will definitely give you an explanation in the future, so don't think too much. Please believe me, I will never let you down, no matter what the reason is, I swear!"

At the same time, Scythe, who was about to go to bed, heard the noise, got up and closed the window, then murmured: "Why is there a sudden thunder? It won't rain tomorrow."

However, because the private room had good sound insulation, Qingying and Hongchuang did not hear the thunder.

"We believed you. We thought too much and made you sad. We are so sorry!"

Qingying and Hongchuang embraced Jiang Lu together.

After a heated debate, the three speakers went back to their own homes.

Her breathing became heavy, and a blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head shyly and leaned on Jiang Lu's chest:

"But when you go to Jinghu City this time, you will definitely meet many girls who are prettier than us. You must control yourself."

"Yes." Qingying agreed: "You must remember that the women out there are all bad women. We are the only ones who are truly kind to you."

"Yeah, I get it. Am I, Jiang, that kind of person?" Jiang Lu nodded, then pulled open the quilt.

But as soon as they lifted the quilt, the three of them fell silent at the same time.

Feng Wan, wearing a lace suit, was curled up in the middle of the big bed and had fallen into a deep sleep.

It turned out that she had finished her work and came to see Jiang Lu as agreed, but she didn't expect that Jiang Lu had gone out to attend the celebration party and did not lock the door, so she came in directly.

She sent a message to Jiang Lu but received no reply, so she thought about waiting for him in bed. However, while waiting, she fell asleep due to exhaustion from the hard work during the day.

"who is she?"

Qingying and Hongchuang looked at Jiang Lu coldly.

Jiang Lu's eyes were wandering and his expression was very unnatural. After all, he had just said that he would never do anything rash, but he was slapped in the face in an instant. Even he felt a little ashamed.

"Was it the wrong way to go?"

"Did she go to the wrong place?" Hong Chuang looked suspiciously at Feng Wan's figure that was sealed by the professional suit and the sexy outfit that even she thought was very bold and avant-garde: "Looking at her careful preparation, it doesn't look like she went to the wrong place. And even if she went to the wrong place, she treated this as her own room. Don't you think this pajamas is a bit too bold?"

"Then I took the wrong path, right?" Jiang Lu avoided Hong Chuang's questioning gaze.

"You went the wrong way?" Qingying pointed at the box in the corner: "But this is your suitcase, isn't it?"

"It's not mine." Jiang Lu shook his head and denied it.

"Really?" Hong Chuang didn't believe it and opened the suitcase directly, and then Huang Xiu'e jumped out.

Qingying and Hongchuang had been to Jiang Lu's house and had met Huang Xiu'e. Now Jiang Lu couldn't explain it no matter what.

Seeing this, Hongchuang sneered: "Humph, just tell me why I seemed to hear the sound of a cat's meowing, it turns out it's in your box."

"E'e, why are you here?" Jiang Lu was shocked.

"I can see that this is your first time to raise a cat. You don't even know that the most important thing after packing your luggage is to check whether the cat is in the box." Qingying said coldly.

"Damn it! Stop talking about these trivial matters!" Hongchuang couldn't stand it anymore: "Tell us who she is?!"

“That’s it.” Jiang Lu couldn’t avoid it, so he could only talk about something else: “It’s just an ordinary lace lady.”

"Okay, okay, Miss Lace, right?"

Hearing this perfunctory explanation, Hong Chuang was furious: "Qingying, hold him down. It looks like if we don't squeeze him dry today, he will definitely cause trouble in Jinghu City!"

"it is good!"

"Oh, what are you doing? No, no!" Jiang Lu pretended to resist, but he was helpless and his two fists were no match for four hands. In the end, he was pinned down by Qingying and Hongchuang.

Hongchuang was riding on his chest and Qingying was pressing on his legs, making him unable to move and gradually becoming excited.

But after all, Feng Wan was sleeping next to him, so Jiang Lu was still worried about his social death, so he quietly asked the two of them, "Be quiet, don't wake her up."

"Humph!" Hongchuang snorted coldly: "Now you are afraid, what were you doing before?"

"That's right." Qingying sneered, "And if you want to make less noise, it's not up to us. You might as well pray to God to let you be as patient as possible and not make any noise!"

Jiang Lu turned sideways and looked at Feng Wan's sleeping face, saying helplessly: "Wuwuwu, no"

Later in the night.

Qingying and Hongchuang were like zombies, lying on the side of the bed. Each of them held tightly onto the arm of the still sleeping Feng Wan with one hand, pushing and shoving her non-stop, trying to wake her up.

"No matter who you are, please wake up and share the burden. This is already the limit."

But the dark shadow behind them dragged them into the darkness. (End of this chapter)
