Chapter 391, Section 391: Conversation
After watching Sylvia's carriage leave, Jiang Jianxin listened to the entire conversation between the two and naturally understood the meaning behind Summers' words.
Because she killed the man in the red robe, and the other diners present also saw her face, she eliminated the entire trail, cutting off the first witness's trail.
Summers' conversation with Sylvia was a clever way of creating an alibi for himself.
Both individuals used their own methods to clear their names in the murder case and quickly distance themselves from it.
Jiang Jianxin never expected that this kind doctor would have such a side. Thinking of his lightning-fast reaction just now, she turned her head and looked at Summers in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Summers also looked at her, his eyes showing the same surprise.
"I never expected you to be such a formidable fighter."
Summers said sincerely.
"As expected of President Jun's friend, you were really amazing just now. You killed a room full of people in just a few moves. I'm almost becoming your fan."
People naturally admire the strong; it would be a lie to say they don't. When they see someone strong, they can't help but feel a sense of closeness to them.
"I didn't expect Dr. Sa to be so unsurprised. Is she already used to this kind of thing?"
Jiang Jianxin asked.
Most ordinary people would instinctively feel fear upon seeing a room full of blood, or even seeing blood soaking up to the soles of their shoes, even if she killed a cannibalistic cultist, even if her actions were entirely righteous.
That fear is an instinctive reluctance to commit the act of "murder".
Jiang Jianxin often did this when he was in the cultivation world.
She descended the mountain with her sword to fight evil and uphold justice, but those she saved, besides gratitude, always harbored a lingering fear in their eyes.
But the blond youth before her was different. He stood calmly beside her, his breathing steady, his gaze serene.
"You're doing something righteous, why should I be afraid?"
The blond youth countered with a question.
Jiang Jianxin looked at him, and Summers' face showed a layer of almost self-mocking envy:
"To be honest, I couldn't stand those cannibalistic creatures anymore. But I didn't dare to fight back—I was afraid of being wanted by the authorities, and I was also afraid that my family would notice my abnormality."
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, a bitter smile:
“In the aristocratic circles of this world, there are far more cruel things than this. They never treat commoners as human beings... only as toys for their amusement.”
"Moreover, they believe that those cannibalistic shops are legal, and even claim that the gods allow them to do so."
At this point, Summers almost lost his composure.
He raised his hand to rub his temples, his brows furrowed.
"I don't understand... Maybe my values are just warped. How could these things possibly be right?"
He paused for a long time, then said in a low voice:
"So I left. I left the family and went to the Rose Group."
"Because President Jun's philosophy is completely different from everything I was instilled with since childhood."
Upon hearing the familiar name, Jiang Jianxin looked up:
"What are her philosophies?" Summers asked slowly.
"She believed that everyone, whether noble or commoner, could become a beast of burden from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., fighting for the expansion of her business empire."
Jiang Jianxin twitched his lips, surprisingly not surprised at all.
Because this concept truly resonates with Junyunqi.
"So...you've been working at the Rose Group ever since?"
she asked slowly.
"Yes."
Summers said with delight.
"The Rose Group showed me a new way of life. Here, commoners and nobles can work together. I can talk to commoner girls, and they are not afraid of me."
"Although everyone is exploited by the CEO from 6 am to 10 pm, this exploitation is equal, which aligns with my worldview."
"And I also found enjoyment in medicine here."
Jiang Jianxin fell silent after hearing his speech.
This is the first time I've seen someone find happiness in the capitalist system of exploitation. No wonder Jun Yunqi's working hours here have been extended to 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The social context here destined her to have exceptionally progressive ideas, making her popular among commoners and those who rebelled against the nobility.
The hired laborers could be exploited for 16 hours a day, and they didn't have the bad habit of slacking off, which really gave Jun Yunqi a good time.
After Summers recounted his entire past in one breath, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Jianxin.
Seeing her slightly furrow her brow, his mind went blank, and he hurriedly apologized:
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but it all boils down to my personal thoughts. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said today."
"No, wait."
Jiang Jianxin stretched out a hand to stop him.
“Your thinking is not wrong. Just like you said, commoners are also human beings. They have no obligation to be the toys of nobles. And legalizing cannibalism is wrong. They are our fellow human beings and should not become two-legged sheep in the pot.”
A hint of emotion flickered in Summers's deep blue eyes as he looked on, moved by the discovery of a kindred spirit.
Jiang Jian thought for a moment and then said:
"However, have you ever considered... whether the sixteen-hour workday that President Jun has arranged for you is a bit too much of a burden?"
Summers' expression remained unwavering:
“I can accept this duration. President Jun will give me a monthly salary of 200,000, plus a year-end bonus.”
Jiang Jianxin remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"A monthly salary of 200,000 plus bonuses..."
"Then remember not to be late for work."
