Quickly wear the boss and don’t be cannon fodder

"By the way, why invite a Pixiu to ward off evil spirits?"

Su Yan smiled and said, "The other party hopes your family will lose money, but you have invited a Pixiu to protect your home. What is Pixiu? It is the one that attracts and accumulates wealth, only taking in and not giving out. Moreover, the Pixiu mythical beast also has the function of warding off evil spirits and protecting the home, which is perfect for your family."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

Only now did he have the mind to take a good look at the person he was meeting on this blind date.

However, the other person was also looking at Su Yan with surprise and praised, "I didn't expect you to know so much. What books do you usually read at home?"

Su Yan chuckled. At home, she rarely reads; she's either playing games or checking if her stocks have gone up or down.

Ever since she read books in the Heavenly Book Sea, she felt annoyed whenever she saw a book for a while. Now, she feels that way less often, mainly because she read too many before and got tired and bored.

"What do I read at home? Variety shows, of course, and handsome men." As she spoke, Su Yan glanced meaningfully at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng felt a tingling sensation, as if he had been electrocuted, as Su Yan's teasing gaze swept over him, and his face slowly turned red.

I could only apologize again, saying, "I'm sorry I'm late today because of something at home. What would you like to eat tonight? I know a few decent restaurants nearby."

Seeing that he not only lacked the aloofness of a handsome man but was also so shy, Zhao Meihui felt even more favorably disposed towards him.

"Then you can choose your favorite restaurant to take us there."

Su Yan stood up at the right moment and said with a smile, "Well, I have something to do, so I won't bother you any longer. Mr. Jiang, you can send the address to Zhao Meihui, and I will send the wind chimes to you later."

"Ah, Su Yan, you're leaving already?" Zhao Meihui was still waiting for Su Yan to help her test the other person.

Even though he's handsome, she doesn't care whether she takes the test or not. Even if he's a jerk, she's willing to have a casual fling with him.

But Su Yan suddenly said he was leaving, leaving her to face such a handsome man alone, which made her feel strangely uncomfortable.

Zhao Meihui clearly lacked confidence in front of handsome men.

Jiang Cheng was also somewhat surprised. He had originally intended to invite Su Yan to dinner to express his gratitude. Otherwise, he would not have invited her to dinner on their first blind date. At most, they would have had coffee, chatted about their current situations, and gotten a general understanding of each other.

"Why don't you eat before you leave? People always need to eat anyway," Jiang Cheng suggested.

Su Yan shook her head and said, "No, you guys enjoy your meal. We can get together again another time."

Su Yan left quickly, and neither of them had time to try to stop her.

After Su Yan left, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

999: "Why don't you eat before you leave? You have nothing to do tonight anyway."

Su Yan: "Zhao Meihui is clearly interested. Should I stay and be a third wheel, or should I stay out of the way?"

999: "What about you? After being lonely for so many lifetimes, aren't you planning to find a handsome guy to warm your bed?"

Su Yan: "What's the rush? Fate brings us together from a thousand miles away."

"careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yan was pulled into a strong embrace.

"boom!"

A car crashed into the spot where Su Yan had just been standing. The car hit the roadside railing, and the front of the car was dented, making it impossible to see the driver's seat.

People around were calling an ambulance and the police, and it was only then that Su Yan saw who was holding her.

The other person has a handsome face that is no less than Jiang Cheng's. Jiang Cheng seems more approachable, while he has sharp features, a rigid and cold demeanor, and a powerful aura of aloofness that makes people dare not cross the line.

But at this moment, he was holding her tightly, as if she were some fragile vase.

"Um, thank you, can you let go of me now?"

Upon hearing Su Yan's voice, the other party suddenly released his grip as if waking from a dream.

"That car just drove straight at you, and I panicked and..."

"I know, thank you."

Su Yan naturally knew that he meant well, but he shouldn't have had close contact with the person he was saving. He felt that Su Yan was not a person who liked to get close to others.

Traffic police arrived quickly and discovered that the driver was drunk. The reason he rushed towards Su Yan was that he had passed out while driving and was completely slumped over the steering wheel.

When Su Yan saw the surveillance footage retrieved by the traffic police, she saw the driver slumped over the steering wheel, his face horribly black.

People like this should reflect on their actions in prison.

Seeing that Su Yan looked unwell, Jiang Jun asked with concern, "Are you alright? Do you need me to take you home?"

Jiang Jun is the one who just saved Su Yan. She has already learned from 999 that this person is Jiang Cheng's older brother, and also the cannon fodder second male lead in this story.

If Su Yan was cannon fodder, he was at most a minor one in the early stages, and didn't cause any real trouble.

The second male lead will challenge the male lead, Luo Fubo, in his career and compete with him for the only female lead, Xu Wenying.

In this novel, written from the perspective of childhood sweethearts, with Xu Wenying as the female protagonist who secretly loves Luo Fubo, Jiang Jun is merely the biggest obstacle the two encounter after growing up and entering society.

Jiang Jun is excellent in every way; if he were in another novel, he would definitely be the male protagonist.

However, in this novel, his role is merely to highlight the male protagonist's excellence and to facilitate their relationship.

To put it bluntly, he was just the female lead's most prestigious suitor, someone who could impress others and show off how outstanding her former suitor was, proving that she was charming enough.

The reason he isn't the male lead is simply because he lacks a bit of luck. He doesn't have the male lead's powerful fortune. He's clearly better than the male lead in every way, but inexplicable things always happen at crucial moments, hindering his career and love life.

Su Yan had just met his younger brother and naturally knew that his bad luck was mostly related to the man behind him who couldn't stand to see the Jiang family doing well.

Sometimes, feng shui cannot determine a person's life, but it can play a key role in certain areas.

The feng shui of their house must have been altered.

Su Yan had examined his face; it showed he possessed all the qualities of fortune, longevity, and prosperity, suggesting a life destined for great wealth and honor.

Life will be smooth sailing, but there is a faint black mist swirling between his brows, indicating that there are villains causing trouble.

The Jiang Group, which Jiang Jun now manages, was founded by his father from scratch.

The Jiang family has now become one of the wealthiest families in Shanghai, which naturally arouses the jealousy of their former poor relatives.

Many people appear friendly on the surface, but secretly they can't stand seeing others doing better than themselves.

Never underestimate anyone; even a little bit of evil in their hearts is enough to make them do many heinous things.

Would a normal person smash a toilet pipe? But some people are just born unable to stand seeing others do well, even if no one has provoked them.

To him is to see others doing well as a sin, and to see it as a provocation.

The dark side of humanity is more terrifying than you can imagine.
