Chapter 975: Chapter 975: The Cute CEO Fu
Xia Xin conveyed this message straightforwardly to Jiangli.
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, “No special news at all?”
Xia Xin nodded honestly, “Yes.”
Jiangli clicked his tongue, waving the fan in his hand, and whispered, “Then what did he mean by that?”
Xia Xin and Fu’er didn’t quite catch it.
Xia Xin couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say, Ancestor?”
Jiangli just waved his hand, “Nothing, is the food I asked you to prepare ready?”
Xia Xin: “It’s ready, the ingredients are all set, we can eat anytime.”
Jiangli nodded, “Then hurry up and make the hot pot, I’m hungry, I need to eat.”
Xia Xin knew the Ancestor was craving food, so he agreed promptly, stepping out to bring in the ingredients.
Once he left, Jiangli asked Fu’er, “How’s Master Wu doing?”
Fu’er replied, “I vacated the meditation room next to Xia Xin’s. Though it’s a bit small, it’s more than enough for him alone. He’s resting inside now. But he mentioned he still has stuff at home, so he’ll go back a bit later to pack some luggage and bring it over.”
Jiangli nodded, “You accompany him back when the time comes.”
Fu’er agreed, then asked, “By the way, Ancestor, are you letting him join as a member of Jiaoyang Temple?”
Jiangli gave a hum of acknowledgment, “Jiaoyang Temple is declining now, lacking in talent, we need to recruit some people. Otherwise, once you and I leave, Xia Xin alone won’t be able to manage.”
Fu’er thought it made sense. After a brief interaction with Master Wu, he could tell that Master Wu has some real skills and isn’t one of those hypocritical swindlers.
He hasn’t done anything bad.
Joining Jiaoyang Temple is a good thing for the temple.
After all, it’s too difficult to find capable and mature Taoists like Master Wu to join a temple.
Grab one if you can.
…
Xia Xin quickly prepared the hot pot.
Fu’er then went to call Master Wu over.
It’s said that hot pot is a great tool for making friends; there’s no one you can’t get closer to over a hot pot.
After a hot pot meal, Master Wu was already on near-brotherly terms with Fu’er, and Xia Xin started to change his view of Master Wu.
Jiangli didn’t join their chitchat but kept his head down, eating.
As usual, Jiangli ate the most at the meal.
Although Fu’er typically couldn’t eat food, he used a bit of the blinding technique as a disguise in front of Master Wu, seemingly eating quite a lot.
Everyone finished eating, but Jiangli was still devouring.
Watching the last of the food go into Jiangli’s stomach, Master Wu was a bit dumbfounded.
Initially seeing Xia Xin prepare so many ingredients, he wondered how the three men and one young lady could eat so much…
Turns out he underestimated the Abbot.
Unexpectedly, despite the Abbot’s petite appearance, the appetite is astonishingly large.
Master Wu silently raised his hand, covering his mouth, thinking he needs to reassess the Abbot.
After the meal, Fu’er and Master Wu went together to Master Wu’s house to help him pack.
Xia Xin diligently went off to clean up.
Only Jiangli, after filling her stomach, reclined on the deck chair.
But not long after lounging, Jiangli’s phone suddenly rang.
She reached out, picked it up to see a message from Fu Shiyan.
Upon opening it, it was the usual small couple chat mode.
Fu Shiyan first reported how busy he had been today, just now resting, asked if she had eaten, various words of concern. His messages were sticky and sweet.
