Xi Chenxiao did not mind at all. The most important thing to him now was to make sure that Su Jin wasn’t angry; he still wanted to work overtime at night! If Su Jin got angry, they would probably just go to sleep tonight. Xi Chenxiao put his arm around Su Jin’s waist and said to Xi Shi with a serious expression,
“I’m willing to let her bewitch me!”
Su Jin was very touched when she heard this. She did not expect Xi Chenxiao to say such things because of her. It seemed that the devil really loved her very much! Su Jin leaned into Xi Chenxiao’s embrace dotingly and said with a cold smile on her face,
“That’s right. He’s willing to let me charm him. What has it got to do with you?”
Su Jin then looked at Xi Shi smugly. This guy had been unhappy with her since the very beginning. He always found trouble with her. In the past, Su Jin was too lazy to pay attention to him, but this time, he went too far. Su Jin said arrogantly to Xi Shi,
“You, why don’t you go and receive your punishment quickly? Don’t be an eyesore here!”
Xi Shi was already very angry. When he saw Su Jin’s smugness, he was even angrier. He wanted nothing more than to go up and tear Su Jin into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart. However, Xi Shi dared not do that in front of the chairman. He could only repeat grudgingly,
“Chairman, I don’t accept this. I just did what asked me to do. Why should I be punished?”
When Xi Chenxiao heard this, he knew that Xi Shi was extremely reluctant. Since that was the case, he had to make sure Xi Shi was completely convinced so that people would not say that he ignored the feelings of his subordinates because of a woman. Xi Chenxiao said sharply to Xi Shi,
“You don’t accept this? Didn’t you try to hide something from me just now?”
Xi Shi lowered his head in shame when he heard this. He thought that the chairman would not be able to see through him, but he did. Xi Chenxiao’s still the wise and fearsome chairman. Xi Shi replied with his head lowered in shame,
“Chairman, I’m sorry. I’ll go and receive my punishment now.”
Xi Shi then stood up to receive his punishment. Xi Chenxiao knew that Xi Shi had realized his mistake. Whatever said and done, Xi Shi was still a brother who had followed him through thick and thin; he was still very trustworthy. But he couldn’t let Xi Shi continue investigating this matter. He turned around and ordered Xi Tian,
“Xi Tian, from now on, I’ll task you with finding Madam’s mother as soon as possible.”
Xi Tian nodded respectfully when he heard this. He did not expect Xi Shi to behave as such; he was simply courting death! He couldn’t defend Xi Shi even though they were brothers who grew up together. After Xi Tian nodded, he suddenly remembered something and said to Xi Chenxiao,
“Chairman, I’ve found some clues about the goddess of firearms!”
Xi Chenxiao’s eyes lit up. He had been busy with other things recently and had almost forgotten about this matter. Now that Xi Tian had mentioned it and even had some findings, it was naturally a good thing. Xi Chenxiao said urgently to Xi Tian,
“Oh? What did you find out? Spit it out!”
Although Xi Tian did not know why Xi Chenxiao was so anxious to find the goddess of firearms, as a subordinate, he had to do what the chairman had instructed him to do, and do it well. When he heard Xi Chenxiao’s words, he stood up straight and replied solemnly,
“Chairman, this afternoon on the dark web, I saw that the goddess of firearms had released a mysterious series of code. After decoding it, it was her announcement that she’s returning and she’s now accepting orders!”
Su Jin felt a little panicked when she heard this. She had just casually sent a message about her return today. She didn’t expect Xi Tian to know about it so quickly. Xi Tian was indeed efficient! When Xi Chenxiao heard this, he ordered with a serious expression,
“Alright, watch her closely. No matter what, we must get her to join our company!”
Xi Tian immediately agreed respectfully. Su Jin, who sat listening to them the whole time, immediately looked at Xi Chenxiao curiously. Even if Xi Corporation engaged in a wide range of businesses, why must they find this goddess of firearms? Su Jin could not help but ask curiously,
“Boss, um, why do we have to invite this goddess of firearms to join Xi Corporation?”
