Chapter 45: My wife is busy earning money to support me

Xu Tian saw An Rongxuan nod, thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, I'll go back tonight and ask my wife when she has time."

An Rongxuan only thought Xu Tian was trying to drag out time to find a woman to fob her off, so she couldn't help but laugh lightly: "Your wife is also a busy person?"

Xu Tian nodded as a matter of course: "Hmm, busy earning money to support me." 【45-5

An Rongxuan: "..."

Not far away, Xu Rixin, who had been secretly watching the commotion, was also speechless.

How did he not know before that Xu Tian could take being a freeloader so much for granted? Had he reached a new level of shamelessness?

However, An Rongxuan only remained silent for a moment.

Then, as if she had realized something, she suddenly smiled:

"I was worried before that you didn't like money that much. Since you do, you should have said so earlier. Marry me, you don't have to work, and I'll give you a fixed monthly allowance."

Xu Tian was not particularly surprised to hear An Rongxuan's remarks, which would seem bizarre to an ordinary person.

After all, An Rongxuan was a well-known powerhouse, and keeping a man was nothing to her.

It was just...

"No need. My wife is prettier than you, richer than you, and if I want, all her assets can be mine. Compared to her, I have no reason to choose you."

Upon hearing this, An Rongxuan's brows immediately furrowed.

It was one thing for Xu Tian to lie about having a wife to reject her, but to claim she was prettier and richer than her? Was he taking her for a fool?

"Fine. I hope to meet this wife of yours tomorrow, whom you've praised to the heavens. You'd better not let me down."

After saying this, An Rongxuan glanced at Xu Tian and walked straight toward the company entrance.

After An Rongxuan left, Xu Tian checked the time and prepared to have a drink of water before heading home to discuss tomorrow's meeting with Tang Bingyan.

However, just as Xu Tian finished his water in the pantry and was about to leave, a rather handsome young man in his twenties walked in.

Seeing Xu Tian, the handsome young man immediately frowned and asked in a sarcastic tone:

"Why are you still here? Don't you need to go suck up to President An?"

Xu Tian looked up and saw that this handsome young man was a company shareholder named Yun Shuo.

Yun Shuo was a standard second-generation rich kid who inherited the family business after graduating from college, but his heart wasn't in business; he had always hired professional managers to run the family company.

As for the Xu Group's shareholder meetings, he originally didn't want to participate, but because he had a good relationship with Xu Rixin and worried that Xu Rixin would be given a hard time by the company elders, he frequently came to attend shareholder meetings to support him after Xu Rixin took over the company.

But according to Xu Tian's memories from his previous life, Yun Shuo trusted Xu Rixin and treated him like a younger brother, but in reality, by this time, Xu Rixin had already given him a massive green hat. Later, because he found out Xu Rixin had stolen the woman he loved, he fell into depression and died...

Xu Tian withdrew his thoughts, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He had no interaction with Yun Shuo and didn't want to make an enemy of him, so he explained: "My relationship with President An is just a business collaboration."

"Heh, business collaboration?"

Yun Shuo looked Xu Tian up and down, his expression contemptuous: "Stop pretending. I heard everything An Rongxuan said to you just now."

After the meeting ended, Yun Shuo had inadvertently overheard An Rongxuan confessing to Xu Tian.

He immediately understood why the order that Xu Rixin hadn't managed to secure after half a year of preparation had been settled by Xu Tian in half a day.

This led him to conclude that the reason Xu Tian got An Rongxuan to sign the contract was that Xu Tian had used underhanded tactics to seduce her.

Actually, if Yun Shuo had just had a little more patience, he would have heard Xu Tian reject An Rongxuan afterward.

But hearing An Rongxuan's confession, he became convinced that Xu Tian would stop at nothing to get the Anjiang Group's order, so he ran angrily to the general manager's office to tell Xu Rixin the news.

Now, he was even more determined to seek justice for Xu Rixin.

It was clear that Xu Rixin was so capable, yet he was about to be climbed over by Xu Tian, who had signed the contract using such base methods.

"A Shuo, it's probably a misunderstanding."

Xu Rixin, who had walked into the pantry behind Yun Shuo, spoke up for Xu Tian: "I believe Xiao Tian isn't that kind of person. He wouldn't use underhanded rules to get a business order. This order must have been won by Xiao Tian through his own ability!"

Originally, Yun Shuo's words had been quite subtle, but Xu Rixin had directly pointed out that Xu Tian had seduced An Rongxuan to get the Anjiang Group's contract.

In doing so, it actually seemed to confirm his guilt.

"Rixin, stop favoring him. He's a good-for-nothing who idles away his time and never wants to work properly. How could he have the ability to sign a multi-million dollar order?"

"I know he's your brother, but you can't keep indulging him, otherwise the whole company will be ruined by him."

"If the competitors find out that Xu Tian seduced President An for an order, the reputation our Xu Group has worked so hard to build will be destroyed in an instant!"

It was almost time to get off work, and the employees in the company had no heart for work; many chose to come to the pantry to slack off.

They had long since received the news that Xu Tian had secured the Anjiang Group project, and they were all surprised that Xu Tian, a good-for-nothing who originally knew nothing, could have changed so much in such a short time.

But at this moment, hearing Xu Rixin's words, the employees finally realized the truth.

So Xu Tian had shamelessly seduced An Rongxuan to get the Anjiang Group project.

Underhanded rules were common in the business world, but for a man, and the company's second-largest shareholder at that, to do such a thing...

Sure enough, Xu Tian hadn't changed; he was still not fit for polite society.

"A Shuo, I think you really misunderstood Xiao Tian."

Xu Rixin was smug inside, but on the surface, he feigned anxiety and defended Xu Tian: "For a woman as excellent as President An, even if Xiao Tian admires her, it's understandable. What if they are in love with each other?"

"In love?"

Yun Shuo sneered: "The men chasing An Rongxuan could line up from the center of Jiang City to the suburbs. Would she fall for a good-for-nothing like Xu Tian who can't do anything? I think Xu Tian must have used some base means to deceive President An, he..."

"Mr. Yun, you shouldn't talk nonsense."

Seeing that Yun Shuo's words were becoming increasingly excessive, Xu Tian's face turned cold as he interrupted him.

"Nonsense? Then tell me, why were you able to get the contract from President An so smoothly? And why did President An come to your office to say she likes you?"

Boom!

Yun Shuo's words were like a bombshell, causing the surrounding employees to instantly explode.

Originally, they had some reservations and tried to keep their voices down even while gossiping.

But when they heard Yun Shuo say that An Rongxuan had actually confessed to Xu Tian in his office, they all widened their eyes in disbelief and let out a gasp.
