After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 28 Going through the back door

The person Xiao Li can call "brother"...

Jian Ning subconsciously recalled the gossip Long Wu had mentioned that day.

Xiao Li was the eldest son born to the second wife, so the one he called "brother" was the sickly son born to the first wife.

He is the president of Yichen Technology, which is also the big boss of Fengqi Live!

Jian Ning's eyes suddenly brightened.

The mission to enhance the sect's prestige seems to be going well.

Xiao Heqi took two steps closer. "So it's A Li. And who is this person next to him?"

Xiao Li immediately answered in detail: "She is Jian Ning, the daughter the Xie family just recognized."

Then, he introduced his brother to Jian Ning: "This is my brother, Xiao Heqi."

Jian Ning politely replied, "Hello, brother."

Xiao Heqi raised a slight brow with his cold eyes and asked in a lazy, slow voice, "Whom do you call 'brother'?"

“You’re older than me, so you deserve to be called ‘brother.’” Jian Ning hated herself for her mouth being faster than her brain. This person had previously made sarcastic remarks about her being a mother, and now she couldn’t help but make the same sarcastic remarks back.

There was a moment of stillness in the air.

Xiao Li was afraid of his brother and didn't dare to say a word.

Xiao Heqi chuckled twice, "Are you saying I'm old?"

"No, absolutely not." Jian Ning, having already decided what she was thinking, didn't hide it anymore: "Brother He, I have some private matters I'd like to discuss with you, is that convenient?"

Xu Mingtang's eyes are always half-drooping when he looks at people, giving people a sense of unruly roguishness. But now his eyes are wide open, which is rare for him.

"Private matters?" He glanced at Jian Ning, then turned to Xiao Heqi, teasingly saying, "Brother He, you've known this young lady for a long time? You even have private matters to discuss."

Xiao Heqi glanced at him, and Xu Mingtang immediately covered his mouth, while also pulling Xiao Li along.

"Let's go, let's go, they want to talk about private matters, let's not get in the way."

Xiao Li was forcibly dragged away, and he turned back and called out, "Ningning, I... let's add each other on WeChat another day."

Xu Mingtang used all his strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to pull him away: "Hey, let's go, let's go. I'll take you to Nightclub for drinks later."

Night falls, a notorious den of extravagance in the northern part of the city.

Xu Mingtang sighed inwardly: I have truly kept my merits hidden in assisting Brother He; all that muscle training has paid off.

Only Jian Ning and Xiao Heqi remained in the same spot.

Jian Ning spotted a bench by the lake not far away and pointed at it, saying, "If it's convenient, shall we sit there and chat?"

Xiao Heqi gave her a deep look, then strode away first.

Jian Ning followed behind.

It was a bit chilly a couple of days ago because of the rain, but it's hot again today.

Sitting by the lake at night, I felt a gentle breeze and felt refreshed.

"Speak," Xiao Heqi said, tilting his head and scrutinizing her with his sharp eyes. "What private matter?"

The other party deliberately emphasized the word "private matter."

Jian Ning admitted that she had deliberately used the word "private matter" to arouse the other party's curiosity.

But if we don't say it this way, the conversation can't even begin.

She didn't believe that someone of her status and position would give her face just because she was a member of the Xie family.

Jian Ning took out her phone, opened Fengqi Live, and tapped on the account's QR code. Without the slightest embarrassment, she said familiarly, "Brother He, it's like this, I'm a loyal user of Fengqi Live. Would you like to follow me? I'll send you 100 jin of vegetables, no, 500 jin of vegetables, how about that?"

Xiao Heqi: "..."

"Am I a pig? How can I eat so many vegetables?"

Jian Ning thought about it more and more and felt that Yang Sect's prestige might not necessarily be lost, and she could hardly hide her excitement.

She quickly replied, "If you can't finish them, you can give them to your colleagues. We must have a lot of people in our company. Departments like operations, technology, and marketing work very hard. I'll give you all my food for free. I'll give you as many portions as your company has."

Jian Ning looked directly into Xiao Heqi's eyes. "And also, Brother He, it seems my account is being throttled. Could you ask the operations team to help me get some more traffic?"

Jian Ning knew it; she was incredibly shameless!
But for the sake of the mission, winning or losing is another matter. As long as it's not immoral or unethical, she'll try any method.

With such an incredible network of connections right in front of her, she simply couldn't resist.

Xiao Heqi: "..." He asked, "Are you asking me to give you special treatment?"

A normal person would feel embarrassed at this point, but Jian Ning is not a normal person; she has a thick skin and it doesn't matter.

He even frankly admitted, "Yes."

Xiao Heqi seemed about to say something, pursed his lips, and then said, "Is this your private matter?"

Jian Ning nodded.

“Many people want to use connections.” Xiao Heqi glanced at her twice, then looked away, got up and left: “You’re the first one to come up to me.”

She couldn't add him on social media; he rejected her with a cold, indifferent gesture.

This was within Jian Ning's expectations.

Even if she's shameless, she can't very well chase after him and force him now.

Previously, Longwu's father followed her and wrote a short essay, which brought her a lot of attention and followers.

She had originally planned to use the back door to launch a major attack on the headquarters of Fengqi Live Company.

Even if the dating reality show "Fate Destined to Love You" becomes a hit, the task of enhancing the sect's prestige and developing followers will still be a piece of cake.

However, no one is ever obligated to help.

Jian Ning is grateful if she can help.

It's understandable that they wouldn't help.

Adult social interactions are essentially about the exchange of benefits.

Jian Ning sighed. In order to get the system reward, she would have to think of another way.

A short while later, a waiter came over.

“Miss, this place is remote and dimly lit. It’s not safe for you to stay here alone. You should go back to the main venue.”

Jian Ning: "No need, I'll just enjoy the breeze here for a while."

Waiter: "Then I'll stay here and play with you for a while."
-
After the banquet, Jian Ning got into the car arranged by Xie Zheng and returned to Huayue Villa.

Looking at the pitch blackness ahead, the driver said worriedly, "Miss, how about I take you home?"

"No need, it's late, you should go home too." Jian Ning waved her hand and instructed, "Be careful on your way back."

Then, he turned and walked into the darkness.

Soon, the figure in the red dress disappeared into the darkness and could not be seen clearly.

The driver glanced around. This was a forgotten part of the northern city development; the streetlights weren't working, and there was nobody around.

Huayue Villa is a notorious ghost town in the northern part of the city, with bad feng shui and rumored to be haunted.

The driver couldn't help but shudder. This young lady was incredibly bold to dare to stay here.

Jian Ning wore high heels, which made a clicking sound as she walked.
She found the sound unpleasant, so she took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the road.

It's a little uncomfortable on my feet, but I can get used to it.

She remembered that when she was a child, she always wore a pair of sandals in the summer.

It's convenient to play barefoot anytime, anywhere. Even if your feet get dirty and you put on shoes, Grandma can just brush them clean when you get home.

Back then, the school strictly forbade wearing slippers, but sandals were allowed. The slippers she bought had a footrest on them; you could put them down to make them sandals or up to make them slippers—very convenient.

The yellow muddy ground in my memory was very uneven, with many pebbles. I guess I was used to walking barefoot, so I never felt any discomfort back then.

After cultivating immortality, Jian Ning not only had enhanced hearing, but also improved eyesight.

Originally, her eyesight was very good.

After getting used to the darkness, you can see things clearly.

Now, there is no difference between night and day.

As Jian Ning got closer to the villa area, a gust of wind blew by, carrying what seemed to be the scent of photinia flowers. She sensed something was amiss.

They immediately perked up their ears and, sure enough, heard someone speaking.

It's quite far away, probably in the area of ​​the abandoned villa she left unfinished.
