Chapter 326: Chapter 167: 1 Million to Secure 50% of the Shares

She hadn’t expected the project to come so quickly.

She had only been on the job for a few days, and Chen Mo had already found a project he believed would succeed.

So it turned out his habit of arriving late and leaving early wasn’t because he wanted to be a hands-off boss.

He was working hard to find a successful project for her.

Chen Mo didn’t just trust and support her; he was wholeheartedly helping her.

Helping her succeed, helping her break her curse.

The thought made her feel that Chen Mo’s kindness toward her was truly beyond words.

Aside from her parents, he was the person who treated her with the most sincerity.

With this in mind, she immediately grabbed her phone, stood up, and left her office.

She headed for Chen Mo’s office.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

Sitting in his office, Chen Mo heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

He didn’t even look up.

CLICK.

The office door opened.

CLACK, CLACK, CLACK...

The sound of high heels on the floor approached. Judging by the rhythm of the footsteps alone, Chen Mo knew it was Xu Xiyue without even looking up.

"That eager to see the project?"

Chen Mo looked up at Xu Xiyue, who was standing before his desk, and teased her with a smile.

He’d just sent her the WeChat message, and Jiang Huiyang hadn’t even arrived yet.

Yet here Xu Xiyue was, already in his office. ’Looks like she’s dying to break that curse of hers,’ he thought.

Inside the office, Xu Xiyue wasn’t wearing a jacket.

She wore a beige silk blouse that should have been a loose-fitting style.

On her, however, it looked like a slim-fit.

Her majestic, Mount Everest-like endowments turned the loose blouse into a form-fitting top, putting her ample talents on full display.

A gray pencil skirt tucked in the hem of the blouse, accentuating the delicate curve of her slender waist—one you could wrap your hands around.

The skirt, ending well above her knees, revealed a pair of fair, slender legs.

She wore a pair of black, red-soled high heels.

With such a gorgeous, graceful figure paired with that exquisite, flawless face, it was no wonder she was still so popular in the financial world, despite her terrible luck.

’She’s coasting entirely on her looks and figure.’

"President Chen, I understand your feelings for me."

"Rest assured, if this project succeeds, you can have me any way you want."

"If the project doesn’t succeed within three months, I won’t blame you. Before I head to the rooftop, I’ll spend a few days with you. You can do whatever you want with me."

Xu Xiyue stood before Chen Mo’s desk, her beautiful eyes fixed on him as she spoke in a soft voice.

As she spoke, her stunningly beautiful face was etched with seriousness.

At a time when everyone else despised and avoided her, someone had not only approached her willingly, but also trusted and supported her so completely.

He had even gone to great lengths to find a successful project for her, wanting to help her break the curse and prove herself.

’And all this sincere, earnest man wanted was to sleep with her.’

’How could she possibly refuse such a small request?’

Even if it all failed in the end, she was willing to satisfy his desires.

Hearing this, Chen Mo’s brow furrowed, and he gave her a strange look.

’Xu Xiyue is perfect in every way,’ he thought, ’except she’s a little nuts.’

Her train of thought and comprehension were truly not on the same wavelength as a normal person’s.

He had seen it happen many times over the last few days. Anything involving him, she would somehow manage to twist into something else entirely.

Like the time in her office when she’d suddenly thrown herself into his arms.

’What short circuit happened in that brain of hers this time? How did she manage to misinterpret my words now?’

"President Chen, that’s my bottom line. If you want to sleep with me, it can’t be right now."

Seeing Chen Mo frown with a complicated expression in his eyes, Xu Xiyue thought he wanted to sleep with her right then and there.

So she immediately shook her head, clearly stating her boundaries.

"But I could try to accept... other things. For example, you could try hugging me, kissing me... or touching me."

As if feeling her words had been too harsh and direct, she thought for a moment before adding the offer.

Before, she would never have said something so forward and casual to a man.

But she had already died once, and in three months, she might be heading to the rooftop anyway.

She couldn’t take this body with her anyway.

Since Chen Mo liked it, why not let him use it?

It was just a few kisses and hugs, after all. She didn’t dislike Chen Mo; on the contrary, she had a very good impression of him.

She could just consider it a... preview.

"Are you done?"

Chen Mo leaned back in his soft chair with a calm expression, waiting quietly for her to finish before asking nonchalantly.

He was beginning to understand Xu Xiyue’s train of thought.

He’d figured she had misunderstood him.

’She must have thought I sought out this project specifically for her. She thinks I went to all this trouble just for her, and she’s "felt" my "intentions." So, moved by my actions, she’s decided that even if the project doesn’t succeed in three months, she’ll still sleep with me for a few days before her trip to the rooftop. Of course, if the project *does* succeed, then it goes without saying: I can have her however and for however long I want. She even noticed the little frown just now and interpreted it as me being displeased, so she proactively offered up hugs, kisses, and other intimate acts.’

’A very peculiar train of thought and way of understanding things,’ Chen Mo thought, ’but the results are pretty damn good.’

He mulled it over and realized that, aside from her completely misreading his intentions, there wasn’t really a downside.

In fact, the outcome was quite favorable.

Xu Xiyue proactively offering up kisses and hugs was one of the positive side effects of her bizarre way of thinking.

Sure, Xu Xiyue would offer herself to him if the project succeeded...

...but this was like getting a little preview of some of the fringe benefits ahead of schedule.
