No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"That's all?" Snow King immediately patted his chest: "No problem."

“It might not be a small matter.” The president raised an eyebrow. “Your mother just mentioned this to me. I told her that the person is very busy and probably won’t have time to come and visit her. I advised her not to make a fool of herself, but she didn’t believe me.”

Upon hearing this, Snow King's mother secretly rolled her eyes at him.

They're so obsessed with saving face.

Seeing his father speaking ill of Jiang Shu again, Xue Wang was eager to prove something and immediately made a boast.

"Dad, don't talk nonsense. He's not such an impolite person. And I promise, as long as I ask, he'll definitely listen to me. No matter how busy he is, he'll definitely drop what he's doing and come over right away."

"Oh." Snow King's mother immediately covered her mouth and laughed with satisfaction, teasingly saying, "It seems our daughter is really capable."

But the president's expression turned sour, even though that was exactly what he wanted to achieve.

"Hmph." He snorted coldly.

Snow King's mother completely ignored him and only asked Snow King, "Then daughter, you just said you had something to discuss with us, what is it?"

"Well..." Xue Wang thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just want to go see this year's competition and ask my dad to save me a few tickets for the front."

She knew that she had to keep the fact that she was instructed by Jiang Shu a secret. She had to make her parents think that she had a lot of influence with him. Only in this way could she put their minds at ease and bring them honor.

Although this might be a bit unfair to Jiang Shu, since he was clearly polite and took the initiative to visit, in his parents' eyes, he only came because they invited him.

But since things have come to this, let's just let him suffer a little!

"Does such a small thing need to be mentioned? Can't you just ask someone for it yourself?" the chairman asked.

“You taught me to distinguish between public and private matters,” Snow King said obediently. “I don’t have that right, so I have to apply to you first. How you arrange things for me after you approve is another matter.”

"Not bad, not bad." Looking at his sensible daughter, the chairman felt a little relieved.

It seems my daughter is still as sensible as ever and hasn't been influenced into becoming a bad girl.

At this moment, Snow King's mother said, "Then let him come over now. I've had breakfast prepared, and we can have a meal together in a little while."

"Okay, sure." Xue Wang nodded, making a move to contact Jiang Shu.

But at that moment, the president stood up.

"You guys eat, I won't eat."

"Huh? Why?" Snow King asked, somewhat disappointed.

"I suddenly remembered I have work to do, so I'll be going now." With that, she left home.

"How could this be..." Snow King said with some disappointment.

But Snow King's mother knew perfectly well what was going on and comforted him with a smile, "It's alright, let's eat. Maybe he'll remember something he forgot and come back in a little while."

......

the other side.

Jiang Shu sat upright on the sofa, waiting for the Snow King's signal.

His strength and physical strength have reached an absurd level, so even after a busy night, and even after several days and nights in the hatchery, he did not feel tired at all.

Sleep is no longer a necessity for him.

If he weren't injured, he would only need to take short naps occasionally to adjust his condition, which would be more than enough for his bodily functions to operate normally.

Therefore, he looked very energetic.

He even took a special shower.

This was the highest level of etiquette he used when meeting people.

Generally speaking, the fact that he is willing to wash his hair is already a sign of his importance, let alone the troublesome ritual of washing it again before leaving the house in the morning after having showered the day before.

There was no other way; he had to save face and keep his promise to the bureau chief, so he brought Xue Wang and her mother along as well.

Therefore, it is essential to make a good impression on both women as much as possible.

This is an indispensable part of controlling the chairman.

Just like in a team fight, you have to target the AD carry first. That way, no matter how tanky the enemy is, they will eventually be isolated and helpless, and will be slowly worn down.

To this end, Jiang Shu even added all ten evolution points he had just acquired to his charm.

While it's not entirely for preparing for this meeting, this is currently the most cost-effective way to allocate points, since physical strength is affected by sublimation and increases with charm, so the optimal solution is also to max out charm first.

As a result, his charm value increased from 153 to 168, while his physical strength increased from 155 to 170.

Jiang Shu was ready to remove the restrictions on charm from [De-Charm] at the crucial moment, revealing a little harmless charm.

Even though advanced evolved beings certainly have a strong resistance to this, as long as they can improve their temperament and are sensible and reasonable, it is very easy to win the favor of elders who already have a good impression of them.

And just as he had predicted.

After making thorough preparations, the Snow King's signal arrived as expected, and everything went very smoothly.

Upon arriving at the rendezvous point, he met the Snow King and quickly went to the top floor, a place that would normally be inaccessible to someone of his status, without attracting anyone's attention.

"Great, as long as this meeting can be defined as a family gathering that doesn't involve business, then it won't be considered a breach of contract, and I won't have lost..." Jiang Shu thought silently.

But just when he thought he had everything under control and was about to show off his skills, he suddenly froze.

"Is Uncle not here?"

Snow King's mother nodded: "Yes, he has something to do and has left. Let's eat and not worry about him."

Jiang Shu was caught in a dilemma.

It was just like the situation Yamamoto's special forces were in back then after Li Yunlong defeated the Japanese observation group at Baijiafeng, leaving them in a difficult position.

The audience is all gone, so what's the point of staying here and not leaving?

But at this moment.

What are you doing in my house?

The president suddenly pushed the door open and entered. Upon seeing Jiang Shu, he was first surprised, then frowned and asked.

Jiang Shu stood up from the sofa and said with a smile, "I came here specifically to visit Auntie."

"Oh."

Then there was a moment of silence.

In the silence, both narrowed their eyes, staring at each other, frantically thinking about how to make the next development more natural and smooth.

Chapter 221 The process was all wrong, but the result was all right.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say you had something to do?"

Snow King's mother was setting out the tableware when she saw the president return, and she looked quite surprised.

The president felt as if he had been granted a pardon, but on the surface he remained calm and replied expressionlessly, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to bring something important, and I wasn't comfortable letting someone else fetch it, so I went myself."

Snow King's mother said with the practiced ease and naturalness of someone who had rehearsed countless times, "Since that's the case, breakfast is already prepared anyway. Eating won't take long, so why not eat first and then go to work? It'll save you the trouble of making a fuss."

After giving Jiang Shu a deep look, the president shook his head: "Never mind, you guys eat. My blood sugar has been a bit high lately, so I need to control my carbohydrate intake."

Although he said that, he had no intention of leaving at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Shu was a shrewd person and could tell at a glance that the other party seemed to want to stay, but someone needed to offer a way out, just like an emperor who needed someone to forcefully put the yellow robe on his body.

So Jiang Shu offered a way out.

"It's okay, you just need to take the medicine and then get an insulin injection."

"?" The president said coldly, "I have high blood sugar, not diabetes!"

"Oh."

"What are you saying?" Xue Wang tugged at Jiang Shu's sleeve and then said to the president in a coquettish tone, "Dad, I came here specifically to visit you and even brought fruit. Please do me the honor of coming."

"Hmm..." The president pondered for a moment: "Alright then. Although I feel that since we're all acquaintances, there's no need to be so polite, but since he's so sincere, and I'm not the type to keep people at arm's length, I'll go after I finish my meal."

“Okay~” Xue Wang smiled and said, “Then you all sit down for a while, and Mom and I will go and prepare.”

"Ah."

After saying that, Snow King went into the kitchen.

The president and Jiang Shu stared at each other for a moment before the president pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down."

“Okay.” Jiang Shu sat down first.

Although he had dealt with the chairman many times before, this time was different from the previous ones. The meeting took place at the chairman's home, and his wife and daughter were also there, which made the situation somewhat ambiguous. Therefore, Jiang Shu not only restrained himself a lot compared to usual, but also seemed a bit awkward and embarrassed in his words and actions.

After a brief silence, Jiang Shu pushed the fruit plate on the coffee table toward the president.

"How about some watermelon?"

"I have high blood sugar."

"How about some lemons?"

"It's too sour."

"They're quite difficult to please."

What's your attitude?

The president frowned in annoyance and subconsciously started to provoke: "I don't like any of these. Didn't you say you brought fruit? Let me see if there's anything I like."

“These are them,” Jiang Shu replied, pointing to the fruit platter.

"?"

"This is a fruit platter from room service, which I brought as a small gift," Jiang Shu explained. "I rarely leave my home, so I don't really have anything special to offer you. After thinking it over, I figured it's a small gift but the sentiment is great, so this will do."

"Is it appropriate for the person giving the gift to say 'It's a small gift but a big sentiment'?" The president was initially dissatisfied, but then felt extremely surprised: "But you should be living in a dormitory, right? Where did you get room service?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Shu suddenly realized that her accommodations and private butler did not seem to have been arranged by the president.

Wow... could my luck really be that good?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

However, Jiang Shu, realizing that someone else had arranged these things for him, did not tell the other party the truth.

Regardless of who arranged it, I'll just stay here for now.

If he honestly confessed and the chairman canceled these benefits, he would regret it terribly.

“I specifically booked a room and ordered room service,” Jiang Shu replied.

The president frowned: "If you had spent that much time going downstairs to buy it, you would have already bought it all, right?"

"It's better to keep the profits within the family than to let outsiders make money, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the president slowly nodded: "That makes sense."

Seeing that they were about to run out of things to say again, Jiang Shu knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer. If they were to sit down at the table in front of Xue Wang and his mother, there would be no chance to get down to business.

So, Jiang Shu changed the subject: "Oh, right, I suddenly remembered that there's something I want to discuss with you."

The president raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, but did not speak immediately.

He wondered to himself, could it be that he had already guessed the reason for being summoned here?

Seeing the president's enigmatic expression, Jiang Shu was taken aback, and then wondered: Could it be that he has already guessed the purpose of my visit to him?

Because of the Snow King's deliberate concealment as an intermediary, both sides believed that they were the ones who wanted to meet, and they were both starting to feel a little flustered.

"You should know..." the president finally spoke slowly, "According to the agreement, you can't ask me for any help, right?"

really!

Jiang Shu's heart sank.

He guessed it!

When the president saw Jiang Shu's eyes flicker, his heart sank.

really!

This kid wants to use this incident to his advantage, hoping to gain something from me through this secret.

"Of course I know." Jiang Shu replied calmly with a smile, "But I also remember that the original agreement was that my identity must be concealed, and our relationship, as well as my identity in the Bureau of Different Principles, must not be exposed, so that when I am training in your treasure land, I can only rely on my own efforts."

“That’s right.” The president nodded.
