Chapter 824: Not Even Two Eyes Are Enough
by xennovel“OK, you say it’s confidence, then it’s confidence. The schedule for the next two days is set. Good night.”
Jenny shrugged casually, waved goodbye, then yawned and got ready to go to bed.
At the staircase, she suddenly remembered and turned to Xu Shaochen, saying, “Oh right, pick any room you like tonight. Just sleep wherever you want.”
“As for the shower, each room comes with its own restroom and bath. Also, there are pajamas in every wardrobe.”
“I hope you have a pleasant first night in Mg Country.”
With that, she walked upstairs in her high heels, soon disappearing from Xu Shaochen’s sight.
Xu Shaochen withdrew his gaze, called Xie Wei, explained the situation to her, and arranged to meet her tomorrow afternoon.
After all, in the morning, he had to go to Xu Corporation’s headquarters with Jenny, so he definitely wouldn’t have time to meet with Xie Wei and the others.
As for the shipment from Chen Dongqiu, that could be postponed. The money from that deal was trivial compared to the things Xu Shaochen would be handling in the next two days.
He chatted with Xie Wei and Li Qianya for about half an hour before finally hanging up.
Then Xu Shaochen yawned and walked upstairs.
He first went to the 2nd floor but reconsidered and continued up to the 3rd floor.
As he stood in front of two rows of doors, he found himself at a loss, unable to decide which room to choose.
Sigh, being rich is really tough. Too many bedrooms to pick from((≡≡)).
In the end, he just opened the door of the closest room to him.
Just as the door opened, he froze in place, his eyes wide open.
Inside the room, Jenny had just finished showering and was completely naked. Her face was full of shock as she looked at Xu Shaochen.
For a moment, their eyes met, and the air seemed frozen in time.
“Ah! Get out!”
Finally, a piercing scream followed by an angry shout echoed through the villa.
“Cough, cough, you can’t blame me for this. You should have warned me it was your room. That’s why this happened.”
Xu Shaochen coughed a few times, offering an explanation, though he didn’t leave the room right away. The sight before him was breathtaking. For the first time, he felt like even two eyes weren’t enough.
“If you’ve seen enough, then get out!”
Jenny quickly jumped onto the bed, frantically covering herself with a blanket, glaring at Xu Shaochen.
“Alright, alright, I’m leaving now.”
Seeing there was nothing left to admire, Xu Shaochen swiftly closed the door and left.
But the image of Jenny moments ago lingered in his mind. Sigh, these troublesome women! They’re making it so this proud man is becoming thinner by the day… life’s getting tough.
Xu Shaochen opened the door to the room opposite Jenny’s, took a shower to ‘cool off’, then went to bed and fell asleep.
Perhaps Jenny’s blessing worked because Xu Shaochen had a great dream that night, the kind every man would enjoy.
The next morning.
Xu Shaochen woke up and changed into a fresh pair of underwear.
After washing up, he was feeling refreshed, ready for another day.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
“What’s up?”
Xu Shaochen asked casually as he tied his tie in front of the mirror.
Today he was headed to the company, so a more formal look was in order.
“Young Master, Miss Jenny asked me to invite you down for breakfast.”
“I’ll be right down.”
For the first time, Xu Shaochen genuinely felt like a Young Master. Cough, cough… and no, not the ‘Young Master’ you think of from KTV.
After finishing his outfit and spraying some men’s cologne, Xu Shaochen headed downstairs.
As he descended the staircase, he saw Jenny already in the dining room having breakfast.
Today, Jenny was dressed in a sleek white business suit. Her golden hair cascaded over her shoulders, glowing in the morning sunlight.
The tight white suit accentuated her perfect curves, while her pencil skirt highlighted her alluring silhouette. Her long legs, covered in black stockings, stood in sharp contrast to her white suit, appearing long, slender, and smooth.
Xu Shaochen felt a bit guilty, recalling what he had seen the night before. He probably shouldn’t have seen it.
“What are you standing there for? Do you need me to invite you down?”
Jenny’s voice cut through the air. If not for the golden hair and blue eyes, one might think she was a native Dragon citizen.
“Uh, nothing, big sis. I was just being reserved. Last night was really just an accident.”
Xu Shaochen flashed a shy smile, like an innocent boy-next-door.
“I’m the one who got seen, and yet I’m fine. You’re the one who took advantage, and now you’re embarrassed? Ha.”
Jenny gave him a playful smirk. She couldn’t shake the feeling that this jerk was playing the victim after benefiting from the situation.
“Big sis, we Dragon people are humble by nature.”
“Get down here and eat.”
“Got it.”
After finishing breakfast, Xu Shaochen and Jenny headed to Xu Corporation’s headquarters together.
After about a half-hour car ride, they arrived at their destination.
Xu Corporation’s headquarters was modeled after the Twin Towers—two towering buildings connected at the middle, rising hundreds of meters into the sky. The sight was both magnificent and awe-inspiring.
Golden dragon designs adorned the top of the building, shimmering under the sunlight.
According to surveys, 90% of Mg Country’s youth considered working at the Xu Corporation headquarters their dream job.
Working here didn’t just signify a good income— it was a status symbol.
No exaggeration, even if you didn’t own a car or home, just having a job here would be enough to walk into any blind date with confidence.
“Good day, President.”
“Good day, President.”
Throughout their walk, the security guards and employees who saw Jenny all stopped and greeted her.
Some of these people glanced curiously at Xu Shaochen, their eyes full of inquiry.
Jenny, keeping her face cold and aloof, walked straight ahead, a demeanor that others were long used to.
Xu Shaochen and Jenny went straight to the President’s private elevator, heading to the top-floor conference room.
While in the elevator, Jenny gave Xu Shaochen a brief introduction.
“Xu Corporation Tower stands 388 meters tall. Inside, we’ve got restaurants, a gym, a swimming pool, lounges—everything you could need. The top floor only has two offices and a large conference room.”
“One of those offices is mine. The other belonged to our father. It’ll be yours in the future.”
By the time she finished speaking, the elevator had arrived at the top floor, and the two of them stepped out.
The hallways were lined with bodyguards in formal suits. As Jenny passed, they all bowed in respect.
Jenny led Xu Shaochen towards the conference room.
At the door, a bodyguard had already opened the door to the conference room ahead of time.
As the door swung open, all eyes inside— shareholders, executives—focused on the entrance.
