Chapter 216: Chapter 191: Don’t Touch Me

Chapter 216 -191: Don’t Touch Me

Saturday morning, seven-thirty.

Jiang Ning flew on his Magical Ship, alighting at the Huqishan Villa.

He first observed the courtyard, examining the thriving Spirit Grass, and Jiang Ning was quite pleased.

As a Heavenly Spirit Root, he converted medicinal power, far superior to ordinary Spirit Roots by countless times,

and for Heavenly Spirit Root, below the Golden Core Stage, there were no bottlenecks.

Other Qi Cultivators, who wished to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, had to desperately pursue the Foundation Establishment Pill and vie for that slim hope of breakthrough.

However, Jiang Ning did not need the Foundation Establishment Pill at all; when the time came, he would forcefully break through.

While he observed Spirit Grass here, through his Divine Sense, a black sedan was driving this way.

Driving the car was Shao Shuangshuang, and she was alone in the car.

Jiang Ning understood that as Shao Shuangshuang’s status had risen, she had been assigned a designated driver for daily meetings with leaders, always driven by the driver.

Yet, coming to Hu Qi Mountain today, she was alone.

Shao Shuangshuang parked the car, holding a briefcase in one hand and a brown wooden lunch box in the other.

Upon entering, Shao Shuangshuang felt a warmth unlike that of air conditioning; it was a very natural heat.

Jiang Ning, dressed in casual clothes, was leaning on the sofa.

Shao Shuangshuang hurried over, and instead of sitting opposite Jiang Ning, she adjusted her meticulously tailored suit and sat down beside him.

“I had the company’s chef prepare breakfast specially, to see if it suits your taste.”

She displayed no airs in front of Jiang Ning, behaving like his closest secretary.

She first opened the lunch box and set up the meal for Jiang Ning.

Then, Shao Shuangshuang opened her briefcase, placed the documents on the table, and began to speak to Jiang Ning:

“Out of the 37 materials you listed, we’ve collected 15. Of the remaining ones, 3 were intercepted at a high price by the Lin Zhongsheng Group. There are 4 materials for which we offered ten million, but the sellers still refuse to sell. We are currently negotiating prices for another 3.”

After Jiang Ning had gathered the Puppet Materials, he specifically looked for Spiritual Objects that could enhance the soil’s effectiveness to speed up the cultivation of Spirit Grass.

In addition, Jiang Ning planned to refine a Spiritual Artifact. Although he had no rivals in this world, Jiang Ning preferred to have a weapon by his side, as it is always good to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

Therefore, he had Shao Shuangshuang gather materials for refining Spiritual Artifacts.

“This is information on the buyer from Lin Zhongsheng Group, she is the third daughter of the old patriarch of the Lin Family, Lin Zhe.”

“The information on her frequently used properties includes all of the eight materials they bought during this period, stored in these places.”

“There are four sellers we haven’t negotiated with yet. Adding the ones from last time, there are a total of twelve sellers unwilling to sell. Here are their residential and company addresses.”

Shao Shuangshuang relayed this information one by one to Jiang Ning, only responsible for speaking, never considering what Jiang Ning might do.

Changqing Liquid Group invested a massive amount of money in information, greatly enhancing their effectiveness. Many pieces of information from Hui Province and surrounding provinces couldn’t be hidden from Shao Shuangshuang.

She knew about Lin Zhongsheng Group, that the materials Lin Zhe intercepted had all disappeared.

Shao Shuangshuang vaguely guessed but never asked.

During this period, the complete trust Jiang Ning gave her was even more incredible—on the surface, everyone would think that she, Shao Shuangshuang, single-handedly built Changqing Liquid.

Only she knew that Changqing Liquid actually belonged to Jiang Ning.

“That’s all about the materials. Also, there’s something else I wanted to ask about. Some people within the company are interested in certain internet projects. Given that Changqing Liquid Group has plenty of cash, do we need to invest in these promising projects?”

Jiang Ning said, “Handle it as you see fit. I only have one requirement—do not delay the search for materials.”

Whether Changqing Liquid Group specialized in one thing to achieve perfection or diversified into other industries, it did not affect Jiang Ning significantly. After all, without using Changqing Liquid for two months, users would start losing hair again.

Changqing Liquid would never lack buyers.

“Yeah, also, official investigations against Changqing Liquid have started overseas.”

As Shao Shuangshuang said this, her expression remained unchanged, but she was puzzled inside—their actions seemed too fast.

Once they found an excuse, they might levy a huge fine.

“This is not easy to handle. Many international brands have been fined.” No matter how much Shao Shuangshuang tried to avoid it, it couldn’t be prevented.

Her influence was in Yuzhou, with hardly any connections overseas. There, you’re at the mercy of official powers.

Jiang Ning said indifferently: “Investigate who is probing us and give me a list of their names and addresses.”

“No matter where they are.”

Shao Shuangshuang watched him for two seconds and said, “Alright.”

“Changqing Liquid plans to establish branches in a few countries—the situation should improve.”

Shao Shuangshuang reported one thing after another that she encountered.

Jiang Ning listened quietly; actually, Shao Shuangshuang had managed stores before and dealt with all sorts of characters, her skills were not lacking. Now, after more than half a year of tempering, her business capabilities had surpassed Jiang Ning’s.

Jiang Ning only occasionally provided insights. With his abilities as a Cultivator, he suggested more straightforward and effective solutions.

An hour and a half later, once Shao Shuangshuang finished talking, she picked up her breakfast, startled to find it still warm.

Jiang Ning scanned Shao Shuangshuang with his Divine Sense.

He said, “You’ve been quite busy lately, haven’t you?”

“Not very,” answered Shao Shuangshuang, though she had been incredibly busy every day, sometimes staying up until dawn to handle documents.

However, everything now was hard-earned; staying up late was hardly a hardship.

Jiang Ning smiled. If she wasn’t busy, why did she have slight dark circles, and why did his Divine Sense tell him that her physical condition was not good?

Compared to when he first met her, her condition had worsened considerably; if this continued, she might fall ill.

To ensure Shao Shuangshuang would continue working hard, Jiang Ning flipped his palm, revealing one white and one blue Jade Bottle lying in his hand.

He placed the Jade Bottles on the table and said,

“Take the pills from the white bottle when you go back.”

“Apply the cream from the blue bottle every morning and evening after washing your face.”

Shao Shuangshuang asked curiously, “New product?”

“No, I only made this batch. Use it quickly,” Jiang Ning said.

After speaking, he cast a spell that continued to maintain the warming array.

“I’ll be leaving now.” Jiang Ning headed towards the outside of the villa.

He had a busy day ahead— the locations of those materials were scattered everywhere, and he would need to use the Spirit-controlling Boat to retrieve each one; it was likely that he’d only return home by evening.

Shao Shuangshuang hurriedly put down her breakfast. “Let me walk you out.”

“No need,” Jiang Ning said as he walked up the path of Hu Qi Mountain.

Shao Shuangshuang watched him leave until Jiang Ning’s figure was no longer visible.

She returned to the villa, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the two jade bottles in her hand, silent for a long time.

Shao Shuangshuang knew Jiang Ning was extraordinary, especially the miraculous effects of the Evergreen Liquid products. Being the CEO of the group, she couldn’t be clearer about how incredible this product was.

So what about these two bottles?

There was no need to say, they definitely had miraculous effects.

“Working for Jiang Ning is really great…”

She rested her slender legs on the table, her teardrop mole at the corner of her eye enchanting.

…

River dam.

On Saturday morning, Xue Yuantong overslept until ten-thirty before she finally woke up.

With her hair in disarray, Xue Yuantong stood on her bed and shouted,

“Jiang Ning, that rascal, isn’t here, no one to wake me up. I finally got to sleep in. It’s so great!”

She got up and made a beautiful breakfast, or more like lunch.

Xue Yuantong happily finished eating, with no one to fight her for the food. How wonderful!

Her mom took the day off and went back to her hometown, leaving only Xue Yuantong at home.

After lunch, Xue Yuantong ran to the door to bask in the sun, feeling very comfortable and warm.

She looked beside her, and it felt empty.

She couldn’t help but think,

‘If Jiang Ning were here, he would definitely bask in the sun too, right?’

‘Jiang Ning loves basking in the sun the most; too bad he went out and serves him right for not being able to bask in any sun!’

After sunbathing, Xue Yuantong took the keys, entered Jiang Ning’s house, turned on the computer, and started playing games.

While gaming, she occasionally looked back. Jiang Ning wasn’t on the bed.

During a team battle, Xue Yuantong performed exceptionally well, solo-killing two people and then stealing three kills from her teammates, successfully achieving a penta-kill.

“Look Jiang Ning, look!” she excitedly shouted.

However, no one responded.

Jiang Ning wasn’t there…

Xue Yuantong’s joy faded.

She felt empty; she got a penta-kill, but there was no one to witness it, not joyful at all.

The room felt empty.

“Boring.”

Xue Yuantong turned off the computer and ran back to her own house where she rummaged through her stuff and found a fishing rod.

“Hehehe, with Jiang Ning not here, watch me fish and shock him to death!”

Xue Yuantong fantasized about the scene where Jiang Ning would be shocked by her catch, feeling wickedly proud.

‘Let you always show off your fishing skills; today I’ll let you see how strong I, Xue Yuantong, really am!’

She took the fishing rod and a big bucket and ran to the river dam to fish.

The river dam was crowded with people; Xue Yuantong picked a spacious spot with a good view and began fishing.

An hour passed, then two hours.

Xue Yuantong’s legs were sore, and she hadn’t even seen a shadow of a fish.

There was nothing but loneliness.

Fishing is so hard… How does Jiang Ning make it look so easy?

She couldn’t understand.

Xue Yuantong packed up her gear, disheartened, and carried the empty bucket home.

At the dam, a person was selling fish from a basin.

The fish seller saw Xue Yuantong and called out,

“Young girl, I can tell you didn’t catch anything. Want to buy some fish to take home?”

Xue Yuantong walked away, humiliated.

‘What’s so great about that? It’s just that today was my unlucky day!’

Besides, her not catching any fish didn’t mean Jiang Ning couldn’t.

Anyway, Jiang Ning could fish.

After returning home, Xue Yuantong felt emotionally exhausted.

She sat down on the small stool by the house door and played with her phone.

The sun was setting, and it was getting cold outside, chilling her body.

Actually, it would be warmer to play inside the house, but Xue Yuantong didn’t want to go in.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she really hoped to see Jiang Ning return soon.

Xue Yuantong played on her phone, occasionally looking up.

The sun went down.

Xue Yuantong huddled on the stool, head lowered, the light from the phone screen illuminating her small face.

Under the night sky, the vast wilderness met the bungalow, and only her little spot emitted a faint glow.

Suddenly, a shadow flicked before her, and as she looked up, she saw a figure standing there.

‘Jiang Ning is back!’ Xue Yuantong was overjoyed; he had finally returned!

Immediately, Xue Yuantong put on a stern face and said,

“Hmph, so you know how to come home, huh? I thought you weren’t coming back.”

“Too bad for you, you came back too late. I didn’t make your dinner, so eat the northwest wind tonight.”

Jiang Ning smiled, fully aware of Xue Yuantong’s personality as he reached out to rub her head.

“Don’t touch me without washing your hands. Take them away,” Xue Yuantong said disdainfully.

Jiang Ning revealed the hands he had hidden behind his back, carrying a bunch of delicious food, the fragrance wafting through the air:

“No worries, I brought dinner.”
