69 Horizontal Inscription: The Boss's Wife's Words Bring Fortune

Tushan Jiu returned to the old residence; just as she stepped inside, a thunderclap sounded, and outside a torrential downpour began.

She glanced at the time: 5:15.

Xie Shiyu had already returned, sitting in the living room looking at his phone, his lips pressed flat.

Hearing the door open, he turned his head.

Seeing that Tushan Jiu had returned, he tapped his phone twice to send the link to Li Kai, also attaching a message.

【Handle it quickly, fix my Weibo account; Weibo account; I'll personally post a Weibo announcement shortly.】

He put away his phone, rose with a smile, and went to meet Tushan Jiu, saying, "Come sit, are you tired?"

She had casually mentioned this morning during her workout that she had a business appointment to attend today.

Only just now did he learn that this business deal had been introduced by Bai Yu.

Tushan Jiu sat on the sofa and said, "I'm not tired, but guess who I ran into today?"

A servant brought freshly squeezed orange juice, and she thanked them.

Xie Shiyu sat beside her, nudging the fruit plate toward her, and asked, "Who did you run into?"

Tushan Jiu picked up a strawberry, took a bite, and said, "I ran into Fang Qingyi."

Before Xie Shiyu could ask, she went on to say, "Fang Qingyi is the girl that Third Brother has a secret crush on."

"Third Brother really, this hurtful ploy is better not used—it left the girl distracted and hurt, and she even got scolded by the boss!" Tushan Jiu complained.

Xie Shiyu took a grape, peeled it, and nodded in agreement: "A clumsy oaf."

He handed the peeled grape to Tushan Jiu's lips.

Tushan Jiu naturally took it in her mouth, saying, "Thanks, yeah, anyway you should also ask Second Brother and you—three clumsy oafs can definitely beat a Zhuge Liang."

Xie Shiyu's hand paused briefly while peeling the grape, but quickly resumed.

Tushan Jiu kept complaining, eating the grape as soon as it reached her lips.

Xie Shiyu quietly continued to prepare it for her.

Until Tushan Jiu waved her hand and said she'd had enough, Xie Shiyu let out a low laugh.

He wiped his hands, then without hesitation or warning, rose, faced her, bent down, placed one hand on the sofa back, lifted her chin with the other, and quickly captured her lips.

Tushan Jiu stared wide-eyed in shock, instinctively recoiled, and grabbed the fabric of his chest with both hands.

But Xie Shiyu wasn't going to give her a chance to dodge.

The night before, he had specifically asked about it.

This was a benefit he had earned for himself through his own ability.

As their lips rubbed and breaths exchanged, his voice synchronized with her unsteady breathing.

"Yesterday... didn't we say... we'd practice... huh?"

His voice was incredibly seductive.

It felt like an electric shock to her ears, tingling and numb!

Tushan Jiu snapped her eyes shut, letting him pry open her lips while she played dead.

She couldn't answer him right now!

Xie Shiyu let out a pleased laugh from his throat, stopped his motion, and lightly touched his nose to hers.

Tushan Jiu thought it was over, opened her eyes, and looked at him.

But the next second, he said, "Now, let the clumsy oaf teach you how to kiss, okay..."

Before her slightly red lips could even open to reply, they were sealed again.

What a load of bull!

She had already seen through him.

A man with eight hundred little schemes!

During dinner, Tushan Jiu ignored him the whole time, and even sat next to the last clumsy oaf, Xie Jingzhou.

Xie Jingzhou glanced at Tushan Jiu, then at Xie Shiyu, whose lips were curled in a smile.

Had the eldest brother angered his sister-in-law?

But it doesn't seem so, since the eldest brother still looks rather pleased.

Moreover, whatever the eldest brother passed over, the sister-in-law would reach out to take.

Xie Jingzhou wore a puzzled expression.

After the meal, Xie Jingzhou saw Xie Shiyu accompanying Tushan Jiu for a walk in the garden to aid digestion.

He propped his chin on one hand, tilted his head to watch their retreating figures, and let out a belch.

As expected, he really shouldn't have come back to eat today.

Love truly is a century-old problem that can't be solved by conventional means.

Because there is simply no formula that applies to it.

He doesn't understand it, and he doesn't want to.

Or perhaps the experimental data in the lab is simpler.

One autumn rain brings a chill.

The first thing the employees of the Xie Clan Group did upon arriving at the company this morning was to discuss yesterday's heavy rain.

Among them were many sneezes, sniffling, and coughing.

At first, none of them believed what the president said.

Leaving work half an hour early undoubtedly became their leisure time as white-collar workers.

Some went out shopping together, but before they even reached the mall, the heavy rain drenched them.

Some people were still taking it slow, strolling with their partners, and they all got soaked.

Moreover, some had already returned home but then went out again for various matters without bringing an umbrella.

None of these people managed to escape; they were all soaked by the autumn rain.

They all said that this future boss lady was simply divine.

The weather forecast hadn't even mentioned this, yet she predicted it so accurately!

Some high-level figures even furtively went to find Li Kai to sound him out.

But Li Kai is swamped right now; Bai Yu's traffic is indeed huge, and he also has to push the President—who never posts on Weibo—to get last night's post to the top of the trending list, and he's currently focused on that!

Who has time to gossip with them?

So he casually offered a few perfunctory remarks:

If you don't heed the boss lady's words, you'll suffer loss right before your eyes.

If you listen to the boss lady's words, wealth and honor will constantly follow you.

Horizontal inscription: The boss lady's words bring forth fortune.

After those few executives left Li Kai's office, they passed along this couplet for everyone to contemplate, to savor carefully.

Only a handful of people at the front desk and in the President's office have ever seen her.

But now the entire company's staff hold this mysterious future boss lady in greater reverence and curiosity.

Yet all of this, Tushan Jiu, who was drawing talismans at home, knew nothing about.

Since she wouldn't go capture the Blue Stone Essence until tonight, she had free time this morning, so she took out the yellow paper and cinnabar she'd bought yesterday, intending to draw various talismans to keep.

It had also been a long time since she last drew any.

After drawing several dozen, the room door was knocked.

The servant told her that a delivery person had arrived with twelve boxes of nail clippers, asking where to put them.

She said just have them move the things into her room.

Every blade that comes in must pass through her hand once before it can become a true medium.

Twelve boxes—the boxes aren't those extra-large cartons, after all, nail clippers are small in volume.

Each box contains fifty items, each individually packed in its own small box.

Tushan Jiu sat cross-legged on the carpet and opened those little boxes one by one.

The outer packaging was useless; before long she'd unpacked a huge pile of boxes.

She poured from her left hand into her right hand.

Seal Application completed.

Don't think this is just a simple motion—if a Mysterious Master were present right now, they'd surely be amazed by her speed, and by the Qi frenetically swirling around her.

One, two—she spent a full hour, and finally finished all the work before lunch.

She stretched her waist, shook her neck, and prepared to rise from the floor.

Suddenly, her phone rang several times.

Tushan Jiu picked it up and saw it was a message from Lin Xiu'er.

【Sister, you've hit the trending list!】
