297: Chapter 297: Beauty Begs!
Tang Xiao scoffed with disdain,
“Do you think I’m easily scared?
I’ve tried it before!”
Wu Jie smiled without a word, imdiately searching his suitcase for silver needles and iodine.
Having completed the third task, Wu Jie had acquired a perpetual national-level acupuncture skill.
So, this ti he didn’t even need to exchange energy points for it.
He proficiently sterilized the needles.
While admiring Tang Xiao’s graceful and lithe figure, he inserted the needles with impeccable precision.
At first, there was so pain and numbness.
Tang Xiao slightly closed her beautiful eyes, her expression serene and composed, assuming an indifferent attitude as if she feared nothing.
But as more silver needles pierced her skin, Tang Xiao gradually had a significant stress response.
Her breathing beca more rapid.
Her originally tense body felt like it was soaking in a warm ocean, or wandering through soft cotton.
As a warm sensation spread throughout her body, the nerve endings delivered an incomparable pleasure.
It didn’t take long!
Tang Xiao began to close her eyes tightly, clenching her teeth.
She could only keep reminding herself internally.
It’s just acupuncture!
This is just acupuncture!
It’s no big deal!
Endure it!
I must endure it!
As for Wu Jie…
After inserting the needles, he didn’t rush to appreciate his work.
He knew Tang Xiao.
The forr War King, who had endured all kinds of rigorous training, would certainly be able to withstand a lot.
So, he washed and bathed at a leisurely pace.
As long as the silver needles were not removed, that indescribable feeling would again and again assault her psychological defenses.
Collapse was inevitable!
Constant dripping wears away the stone!
Even the sturdiest embanknts cannot withstand the relentless, furious assault of towering waves.
However…
While watching a movie and enjoying a comfortable shower,
Bai Fengling actually called.
Could it be about the endorsent?
Wu Jie didn’t dare to neglect the call, quickly drying his hands with a towel and pressing speakerphone to answer.
“Mr.
Wu, this is Bai Fengling.
I just received a notice from Tianyuan Culture dia that the filming has stopped due to a break in funding!”
“So, I wanted to ask, when do we start our work?”
Wu Jie thought quickly.
The company had just co into his hands, and he was encouraging the employees with high salaries to work overti and rush out the software according to his demands.
After developing it, it still needed various tests, which would take at least a week.
“Signing the contract can be done quickly, but the actual work might not start until a week from now.”
“That’s great then!” Bai Fengling said with surprise, “This gives a few days off to properly handle so family matters.”
“Handling family matters?” Wu Jie advised kindly, “Liuli City and the Xu Family must be in utter chaos these days.
You should take this opportunity to extricate yourself, so Xu Jiahao doesn’t use your father to threaten or control you!”
“Ah?” Bai Fengling exclaid in surprise, “You already know about it!”
Wu Jie laughed, “Joking aside, who am I?
The son-in-law of the Tang Family.
How could I be unaware of these things?”
On the phone, Bai Fengling fell silent for a while.
“I’ve completely lost hope in my brother, but my dad…
he can still be saved!”
“Alright!
I’ll find my own way, striving to take advantage of the Xu Family’s disorder to break the contract and take my dad away!”
Wu Jie said in astonishnt, “Don’t be too hasty.
You must plan carefully.
Without a new, strong backing, don’t risk offending Liuli City’s Xu Family.
After all, if they want to kill you, it’s as easy as stepping on an ant.”
“Yeah!
A lean cal is still bigger than a horse!
I don’t have any backing or power; I can’t fight them!” After sighing, Bai Fengling suddenly asked, “However, I’ve heard that the Tang Family of Tianyuan have a strong background and even Xu Kuishan fears them!”
“What are you thinking of doing?” Wu Jie asked bluntly.
“Co over to Tianyuan!
Join Tanglong Industrial Group, then I won’t have to succumb to their coercion anymore!”
Bai Fengling was indeed blunt and direct without any attempt to disguise it.
“Jump ship now?
What would you do if you ca over?
The group hasn’t bought back Great Tang Culture dia yet, so it hasn’t ventured into the film and television industry.
If you jump ship rashly…”
“I just want to quickly break free from the Xu Family’s control, even if it ans becoming unemployed.
I really don’t want to be treated like a bar hostess, ordered about here and there.
I’m an artist, not a nightclub princess!”
Bai Fengling spoke urgently; she clearly loathed the Xu Family deeply.
Wu Jie couldn’t help the surge of chivalry within him whenever he thought about the Xu Family’s arrogance and tyranny.
“Then break the contract as soon as possible and co over to Tianyuan with your dad.
If you have any difficulties, call anyti!”
“Yes, I actually need a large sum of money right now, after all, unilateral termination requires compensation!”
Bai Fengling stated outright.
Really straightforward!
Wu Jie gritted his teeth, “Then you go ahead and negotiate.
However much the termination fee is, I’ll help you out.
You can pay back in the future by acting in movies or comrcials!”
“Thank you, Mr.
Wu!
You are such a good person!”
“Don’t!
Don’t hand that ‘nice guy’ card; it’s bad luck!”
Bai Fengling chuckled, “Okay then, I won’t disturb your rest with President Tang.”
After the call ended, Wu Jie felt a bit bewildered.
What the hell?
It was only the first ti he t Bai Fengling today, so why the overflowing compassion to lend her a hand?
To hell with that!
I just can’t stand the Xu Family, and those they bully and blackmail are the ones I want to save.
After a hasty shower, Wu Jie, clad only in his briefs, picked up his phone, full of hope, and returned to the room.
Tang Xiao had actually fallen asleep!
“Damn!
How can you fall asleep during such a comfortable acupuncture session?
Could you be faking it?”
Wu Jie went to the bedside and bent down to remove the silver needles one by one.
No reaction!
Tang Xiao remained as serene as Sleeping Beauty, beautiful and still.
After removing the last needle, Tang Xiao was still asleep.
He reached out to check her breathing; it was steady and light.
“Damn!
Actually asleep!”
Wu Jie put away the needles, turned off the light, and lay down.
Even forming a team with a few friends and playing gas with the sound on didn’t wake Tang Xiao up.
It was a quiet night.
Wu Jie turned off his phone to charge it and lay down but couldn’t fall asleep for a long ti.
Accessing the system, Wu Jie reactivated the good news notification.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding…
Good news kept coming, so he quickly turned it off!
Can’t deal with it, can’t deal with it!
This year’s charity event had too many highlights: Bai Fengling’s stunning song performance, Tang Xiao’s shocking appearance, the two billion in generous donations…
Many events had beco hot topics, so Wu Jie was naturally envied and resented by many.
If Wu Jie were in front of them, he would probably be drowned in their spit!
And, of course, the balance of energy points had far exceeded expectations.
It had already broken through the thirty million barrier and was still growing.
On second thought, it was quite normal.
With millions or even hundreds of millions of netizens participating in the discussion!
With such a large population base, there’s always soone who disapproves of .
Even if the average contribution is one energy point per person, Wu Jie felt he might make millions.
“Aweso!
At this rate, won’t I be able to complete the fourth reward task just by lying down?”
“Millions of netizens, oh, hate more!
Put so effort into it!”
“So I can truly experience what it ans to strike it rich overnight!!”
Wu Jie prayed with stifled laughter.
Suddenly, Tang Xiao beside him stirred…
