Chapter 317 - 205: Brother Jiang, Who Performed Better, Me or Zhiyi?

"I can consider it."

Chen Jingxian’s identity was a bit of a taboo.

The feeling of teasing her was completely different from teasing other women.

"If you don’t behave, I’ll pinch you... Ah—"

Out of habit, Chen Jingxian tried to pinch Lin Jiang, but the movement was too wide and she stretched her wound.

"Easy, easy. Your buttons have come undone."

"You bad man! I’m not going to be nice to you anymore."

Chen Jingxian had a shy and bashful look on her face. Lin Jiang leaned back on the sofa, his hands clasped behind his head.

The word "contrast" was perfectly embodied in this woman.

He had thought Chen Jingxian, being so fair and delicate, wouldn’t have much, but he hadn’t expected it to be so lush.

Not even Xu Lin could compare in this regard.

"By the way, have you checked in on Jumping Candy recently?"

Chen Jingxian changed the subject to hide her racing heartbeat.

"Why do you ask?"

"President Qiu came by a few days ago, and we chatted for a bit. It seems like the company’s development has entered a critical phase. If you have time, you should go check it out. You’ve invested so much money, you should pay some attention to it."

As for Qiu Yunong’s business, Lin Jiang basically had a hands-off approach.

But the difficulties of a startup were becoming apparent. During the initial cash-burning phase, if a company couldn’t pull through, it would be crushed by the waves of competition.

He had time today, so he might as well go take a look.

Not long after, Chen Jianguo and Wang Minxia returned, carrying large and small bags, having bought quite a few things.

The four of them had lunch together. In the afternoon, after chatting with Chen Jingxian for a while longer, Lin Jiang left.

Back in his car, he called Qiu Yunong. After learning she was at the office, he drove over.

When he arrived at the company, he saw Qiu Yunong waiting to greet him right as he stepped out of the elevator.

She was wearing a black, wide-leg jumpsuit paired with high heels, which accentuated her already tall figure, making her look even more slender. The mature, sophisticated aura about her had also intensified.

But what attracted Lin Jiang’s attention even more was the golden exclamation point that had appeared above her head!

’A special mission has appeared!’

"Brother Jiang, I’ve noticed you’re getting more and more handsome."

"Such sweet talk. Are you trying to get another investment from your sugar daddy?"

"Oh, of course not."

With no one else around, Qiu Yunong shed her usual cold and aloof image, her tone carrying a hint of flirtatious coyness.

"Then you must want your sugar daddy’s gold."

"Brother Jiang, don’t tease me out here."

"Why not?"

"I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself..."

"Then let’s go to your office."

The two of them walked side-by-side toward Qiu Yunong’s office.

Along the way, Lin Jiang tapped on the golden exclamation point above her head.

[Mission Name: Drive Traffic! Drive Traffic!]

[Mission Description: Win first place in tomorrow’s dance competition]

[Mission Reward: Heart Sound Card*1, Decibel Card*1, 20 EXP]

’Heart Sound Card?’

’Decibel Card?’

’Judging by the names, I can’t guess what they are.’

[Heart Sound Card: Allows you to hear other people’s inner thoughts. Duration: seven days.]

’This is interesting!’

’With this, I’ll be able to find out a lot of people’s little secrets.’

[Decibel Card: In a single card game, if the voices of NPCs and pets exceed 70 decibels, you will be rewarded with 1,000,000. Duration: seven days.]

’Another twisted one, huh?’

Lin Jiang took out his phone and looked it up. A person’s normal speaking voice is about 40 to 60 decibels.

decibels is slightly higher than a normal speaking level, almost at the point of shouting.

Lin Jiang made a quick calculation.

Among all the NPCs and pets, Qin Yangyang, Xu Lin, Li Zhiyi, Zhao Fangfei, and He Jing would just have to act normally.

Qiu Yunong, Jiang Xiaoqi, and Feng Qi, on the other hand, would have to go all out to work a miracle.

But completing this mission might be a bit difficult.

As they entered the main office space, the employees all stood up to greet Lin Jiang, their eyes filled with a hint of awe.

Lin Jiang smiled and nodded in response, following Qiu Yunong into her office.

The moment they were inside, Qiu Yunong locked the door from within.

She wrapped her arms around Lin Jiang’s neck and looked up at him.

"Did Brother Jiang miss me?"

Lin Jiang placed his hands on her butt and lifted Qiu Yunong up.

"Feel for yourself and you’ll know whether I missed you or not."

Qiu Yunong felt the change in Lin Jiang’s body.

"Hee hee, I missed you too."

"Stop with the ’hee hee’ and start with the ’head’."

"I know, I know."

Lin Jiang sat down in the chair, and Qiu Yunong moved to where she was supposed to go. This feeling of looking down from above was an incredible power trip.

While enjoying himself, Lin Jiang opened his attribute panel.

[Name: Lin Jiang]

[Skills: Culinary Skill (Basic), Fighting Technique (Basic), Baji Fist (Beginner), Driving (Master Level), Swimming (Beginner)]

[Attributes: Physique 23, Comprehension 34, Charm 23]

[Martial Force: 27]

[Teammate: Xu Lin]

[Item: None]

[Treasure Chest: 40/100]

’I already have 40 points. After I finish Qiu Yunong’s mission and one more main mission, I’ll be able to choose a treasure.’

"How’s the company doing lately? Run into any trouble?"

"To be honest, it’s been pretty tough the whole time," Qiu Yunong said, her voice muffled.

"I’m focusing on content right now. Otherwise, even if we get the download numbers, if the content is bad, we won’t get any user stickiness, and we’ll lose them quickly. That’s why I’ve been focusing on content."

Lin Jiang thought about the mission description. Its name was "Drive Traffic," which was very likely related to what she was currently working on.

"What have you done in that regard?"

"Mainly, I’ve designed a bonus system to attract influential bloggers. We’re also running ads simultaneously, trying to create a virtuous cycle for our content."

Lin Jiang was satisfied with Qiu Yunong’s strategy.

"Anything more specific?"

"If we’re talking specifics, it’s probably what I’ve been working on recently," Qiu Yunong said.
