Chapter 334: The Ancient Tomb
On the car,
Gu Xunjing showed Jiang Qianhui a live stream from a popular online blogger. He said slyly, "Qianhui, look at these comments. They're really interesting. They even want to find you and tell you to change your story. They're saying there's no ancient tomb down there, it's a mass grave, and that Zhan Yanxun's shopping mall will be haunted after it's built. They're deliberately trying to make things difficult for Zhan Yanxun. Sure enough, the masses have sharp eyes."
Jiang Qianhui glanced at the live stream room; the comment section was incredibly lively.
She said it was a mass grave, and that it would be haunted once it was built?
There are so many talented people online!
At the same time, Zhan Yanxun arrived at the construction site.
This construction site is very important. If an ancient tomb is indeed unearthed, the Zhan Group's cash flow will be severely impacted, and if not handled properly, the cash flow may even be cut off.
Zhan Yanxun personally visited the construction site, demonstrating the importance he attaches to this project.
When Qiao Weiwei saw Zhan Yanxun arrive, she quickly went up to him and said obsequiously, "President Zhan, don't worry, everything is ready. I prayed to Guanyin before I left home today. She will surely bless us with a successful start to the project and that everything will go smoothly."
Assistant Wu Ye followed Zhan Yanxun with an eye-rolling expression. "You prayed to Guanyin? Even Guanyin would probably think her incense was bad luck."
I really don't want to hear this woman speak. When will the CEO kick her back to the design department?
As Wu Ye rolled his eyes, he suddenly saw... his wife.
His eyes lit up; the lady had arrived.
The sudden appearance of Jiang Qianhui and Gu Xunjing caused an instant uproar at the construction site and in the live broadcast room.
Look, it's Jiang Qianhui!
[Her resilience is truly impressive. What if she hadn't found an ancient tomb? Wouldn't that have been incredibly embarrassing?]
[Is that Gu Xunjing, the eldest son of the Gu family, standing next to her? Gu Xunjing is so handsome! Much more handsome than most of the heavily made-up, unattractive male celebrities in the entertainment industry these days.]
Gu Xunjing debuts on the spot, revitalizing the entertainment industry.
[Exactly, Gu Xunjing is way more handsome than them. Gu Xunjing should debut right now.]
Comments about Gu Xunjing's instant debut flooded the screen!
Jiang Qianhui walked up to Zhan Yanxun, smiled, and said in a melodious voice, "President Zhan, best wishes for a successful start to the work."
Qiao Weiwei said with a forced smile, "President Jiang, what brings you here? There are so many people here, I really didn't expect you to come."
Jiang Qianhui looked down at Qiao Weiwei and said calmly, "If you're not afraid of a lot of people, why should I be?"
Jiang Qianhui's implication was that Qiao Weiwei was a mistress that everyone hated, and if she wasn't afraid of a lot of people, what was she afraid of?
Zhan Yanxun responded coldly to Jiang Qianhui's words, saying, "The Zhan family's project will naturally proceed smoothly."
Jiang Qianhui's red lips curved slightly: "The Zhan family's project is not only going smoothly, but it's also done a great service. Discovering an ancient tomb and handing it over to the country will earn you a place on the list of merits for the Zhan family."
Zhan Yanxun looked at Jiang Qianhui, who was smiling with raised eyebrows, without saying a word, but his eyes grew increasingly gloomy.
.
Qiao Weiwei stepped forward and said indignantly, "President Jiang, I really don't know where you get your confidence from. The construction site has already been excavated, but I haven't seen any ancient tombs."
"Keep digging slowly. I came here specifically to watch the excitement, so why wouldn't I be able to?"
Jiang Qianhui spoke languidly, glancing at Zhan Yanxun with a relaxed yet provocative look in her eyes.
At this time, Gu Xunjing had already arranged a seat for Jiang Qianhui.
"Sui Sui, take a rest. These people are obviously not very efficient. We can only wait."
As Gu Xunjing spoke, he fanned himself, and the onlookers began to discuss among themselves.
[This Jiang Qianhui has such a powerful aura, and she's so determined to come and see the ancient tomb excavation.]
Is she really that confident? I'm starting to believe it myself. What should I do? But this whole thing seems too far-fetched.
Zhan Yanxun's face was grim, after all, so many people had come to watch the opening ceremony of his own project.
Qiao Weiwei said sarcastically to Jiang Qianhui, "President Jiang, if I were you, I would have stopped there. After all, lies will be exposed. What's the point of indulging in a bit of verbal sparring only to be slapped in the face in the end?"
Jiang Qianhui chuckled: "Judging from your expression, you don't believe me. How about we make a bet? If there's an ancient tomb underground, you kneel here and call her 'Grandma' three times."
Qiao Weiwei's face froze. She wanted to swear, but with Zhan Yanxun present, she could only restrain herself. She said with a forced smile, "President Jiang, I'm willing to take this bet with you. If there's an ancient tomb underground, I can kneel down and call you 'Grandma' three times. But if there isn't, I hope you can apologize to President Zhan for your shameless behavior."
"So you're protecting your CEO Zhan."
Jiang Qianhui looked at Zhan Yanxun and said, "Look how considerate your employees are to you. They can't help but stand up for you when they see you being wronged. If I were you, I would quickly promote them to a permanent position."
Zhan Yanxun was so angry that his lungs felt like they were about to burst.
He moved closer to Jiang Qianhui and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
Jiang Qianhui calmly said, "Didn't I tell you? I came to see the excavation of an ancient tomb. I'm very interested in antiques and archaeology. I just wanted to witness firsthand the excavation of a large ancient tomb."
Jiang Qianhui's red lips curled slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of madness.
Zhan Yanxun grabbed Jiang Qianhui's wrist, but before he could speak, Gu Xunjing pushed him away and said disdainfully, "Your face looks dark. Don't bring your bad luck to our Qianhui."
At this moment, the comments section exploded with activity.
[Is Gu Xunjing's forehead darkening? Has he been influenced by Jiang Qianhui and is he trying to take the path of metaphysics?]
[This combination of a sorceress and a madman is just too good to pass up!]
At this moment, assistant Wu Ye pulled Zhan Yanxun aside and said, "President Zhan, I have something to report to you."
Wu Ye pulled Zhan Yanxun away, since there were so many people live streaming here, and it wouldn't be good if a fight broke out.
Zhan Yanxun didn't speak, but just stared intently at the progress of the entire construction site.
"We've dug five meters down, and there's nothing there. Not even a fragment of an antique, let alone an ancient tomb."
The barrage of comments flashed.
[We're doomed, we're doomed, Jiang Qianhui's going to get her comeuppance. To be honest, I really don't want to see the main wife get humiliated, but thinking about it, how could this be possible? How could there be an ancient tomb underground?]
But if not, what is Jiang Qianhui doing here?
[This is probably a psychological tactic, making Zhan Yanxun uncomfortable and anxious. The main goal is to make him uncomfortable for a short time, but she can enjoy the satisfaction for a long time.]
At this moment, Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan also arrived. Xie Qingyi was furious when she saw Jiang Qianhui sitting calmly and composed.
"Jiang Qianhui, you actually dare to come? You told such a huge lie, who gave you the courage?"
Yan Lan pulled Xie Qingyi aside and said, "Mom, don't be angry, I'll talk to her."
"Jiang Qianhui, for the sake of our past relationship as sisters-in-law, I still have to give you a few words of advice. It won't do you any good to slander the Zhan family like this. You keep saying there's an ancient tomb here, but look how deep they've dug, and there's nothing there. How do you plan to clean up this mess?"
Qiao Weiwei said smugly, "President Jiang, let's forget about our bet. You're pregnant and about to marry into the Gu family. If you really kneel down and call me 'Grandma,' it will damage the Gu family's reputation. You might not be able to marry into the Gu family in the future. You'd better leave now."
