Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 142
Chapter 142: You Can’t Control Your Lower Body
Ji Nuan sat in her office; her eyes fixed on the computer screen.
The studio was currently in the stage of preparing for action after gathering the resources they needed. In the eyes of an outsider, she was only spending money and not making any profit. No one knew what exactly Ji Nuan was planning.
There were even people who thought Mo Jingshen was wealthy and imposing, casually tossing over two hundred million US dollars for her to play. Even though Ji Nuan had received a large sum of investment, there were still many people who expected her to perform poorly.
The local property business was on a continuous downward slide. There were many companies in a rush to toss away pieces of land that were once highly valued. Currently, Ji Nuan’s funds were sufficient for her to not only continue the progress of projects under her hand but to expand her goals to several cities and suburbs around Hai City.
Every valuable location she had in mind was circled with red ink on the map displayed on her computer screen. The sites that would continue expanding outward in the future, as well as the locations that were currently vacant or abandoned, were all circled with blue ink.
She was acquiring them.
From the perspective of an outsider, she was acquiring them at a ridiculous speed. They assumed she did not know the value of those lands, and that she would end up losing all her money.
All of a sudden, a knock echoed against the office door. Xiao Ba flew in, appearing extremely panicked.
Ji Nuan threw her a glance before moving her gaze back to the screen. She unhurriedly scanned the map of Hai City and its surroundings to mark out the areas that would undergo town planning in the future.
“Boss Nuan, the one from that day, CEO Jin’s husband… he’s here!” Xiao Ba was too rushed when she ran in. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva before rushing to speak, “And he brought a lot of people! It seems like he wants to settle the debt with us!”
Ji Nuan’s hand paused on the mouse. She turned her head. “CEO Jin’s husband? What debt?”
Her words had just finished when the office door heavily slammed open with a “peng” sound. Xiao Ba jumped in fright.
Ji Nuan noticed the people in front who had suddenly charged in were tall and strong. They seemed like those unreasonable, hired thugs used to waving their knives around while demanding for payment.
The man who walked in after those men opened the path appeared younger than forty-years-old. He was dressed brightly and neatly, and his clothes were also tastefully selected. However, his expression was not good. Although he did not look fierce, he didn’t seem like he could be easily sent away.
After the man stepped in through the door, his eyes arrogantly scanned the office before landing on Ji Nuan who sat behind the desk. “Are you Miss Ji?”
Ji Nuan sat behind the desk with a mild gaze. She was unperturbed. “I remember the security officers working at Jin Lin Building are rather diligent. You’re rather formidable for being able to charge in so forcefully.”
It was as though he had not expected such a young woman with such an oppressive aura. The man coldly knitted his brows before laughing. However, his laugh caused one to experience terror.
“I didn’t expect Miss Ji, who is venturing from her hut for the first time, to have so much courage. I’ve heard about the investment from Mo Corporation and understand that Miss Ji has people behind her. But even if the mountain behind you is firm, you shouldn’t be interfering with someone else’s home affairs!” The man appeared to be smiling, but he was extremely cold. His tone was unkind.
Ji Nuan raised her beautiful, seamless brows. “I was still wondering why you were displaying this attitude. It turns out that there’s a fire in your backyard, and after consuming a belly full of smoke, you came here to vent?”
Ji Nuan softly chuckled. “A few days ago, CEO Jin came here to cause a ruckus. Both of you are truly husband and wife. One brought a lawyer to dissolve a contract while the other brought thugs to block the door. Those who don’t know might even think the two of you operate a havoc-making business and are not actually representatives of a proper investment company.”
The man coldly narrowed his eyes. “So you’re aware we came here to block the door? If you don’t wish for your newly set up studio to be smashed into smithereens, may I trouble Miss Ji to follow me for a trip, so you can clarify to my wife about that video you obtained previously!”
Ji Nuan did not pay him any mind, casually pulling up the information on their company through her computer.
CEO Jin, who came previously to dissolve the contract, was the finance representative from Tian Sheng Investment, while this man before her eyes was the CEO of Tian Sheng Investment. His surname was Xiao, and he was also the legal representative and founder of the company.
Ji Nuan turned back to him, speaking unhurriedly and calmly. “Mr. Xiao, I don’t have any interest in your family affairs. Your private affairs with my previous finance supervisor are also unrelated to me. I handed Supervisor Xu to the police because she committed the offense of embezzling funds. Everything I passed onto the police is related to the crimes she committed under my employment. I don’t care if you came because CEO Jin fought with you after discovering your shady business with her or because you want to seek justice for Supervisor Xu. These are all unrelated to our studio. I’m the representative here. Sending an employee who has committed a crime to the police is my right. You’re a gentleman nearing your forties; you have a family and children. Do you need me to teach you even this bit of simple logic?”
CEO Xiao’s expression was extremely unhappy. “You little immature brat, you’re lecturing me?”
“Of course not. I won’t waste my breath on an unrelated person.” Ji Nuan coldly curved her lips. “Although Supervisor Xu was the only one who committed a crime here, I was able to discover the affair between the two of you so easily. Even if the police are carelessly investigating, they would surely be able to find out as well. It’s not surprising that it would then enter your wife’s ears. What’s the point of acting strong with me here? I wasn’t the one who suggested the two of you do it in an unsafe hotel, nor was I the one who installed the illegal surveillance camera. You weren’t able to control the lower half of your body, but you came here to vent your rage?”
Ji Nuan’s maintained her smile, but her eyes were filled with unrestrained mockery.
“You fucker, don’t drag the topic here and there with me. If I were to have a divorce because of this and lose the shares of the company, I would at least lose several hundred million yuan. How can it be resolved by a few words of yours? Don’t be arrogant just because you have a backer. I think you little brat need proper discipline!” CEO Xiao suddenly gave the thugs around him a signal with a cold face.
Those men abruptly flipped over the coffee table and chairs in the office, moving forward to force Ji Nuan out.
Ji Nuan’s brows jumped. She didn’t expect these people would really be unreasonable and act like gangsters here. She stood up to signal Xiao Ba to alert the police.
In the end, one of the thugs abruptly grabbed Xiao Ba’s collar and hauled her back.
“Ah!” Xiao Ba cried.
Ji Nuan’s expression changed. She moved forward and was about support Xiao Ba up when one of the thugs raised a hand to grab her hair.
Almost at the same time, the office door slammed loudly open once more. A silhouette rushed in.
Ji Nuan had yet to react before she was abruptly tugged behind Feng Ling.
In an instant, the several thugs, whose size and skills belonged to the rank of warriors, were easily tossed onto the ground. They held onto their stomachs, rolling around in pain—
