Chapter Eight: Humiliation in Full Measure

She sighed softly, "If you want to know what your merits are, President Sheng, it’s probably that you’re rich."

"But President Qin is not only rich, he isn't a pervert, and he knows how to respect people."

"The point is, he's very capable."

"So, President Sheng, a brute like you shouldn't try to associate yourself with someone like me."

"Even if you use my mother to threaten me, you will never get my heart."

I don't know how Sheng Ting's brain is wired; Jiang Nanxing insulted him at length, yet he fixated on only one point.

He wasn't capable, but Qin Jiu was.

So, he retorted without hesitation, "I haven't even touched you, how would you know I’m not capable!"

"You vicious woman, you're just full of lies!"

Jiang Nanxing almost laughed out loud.

Folks, can you believe this? Sheng Ting just went ahead and cleared her name himself.

This was perfect; she didn't have to worry about people thinking she was tainted by him.

Just then, Sheng Ting’s phone rang.

Qin Jiu, who had been watching the show, caught a flicker in his eyes and subtly pinched the hollow of Jiang Nanxing’s waist.

Jiang Nanxing understood and immediately spoke up, dripping with sarcasm: "That's right, so President Sheng only uses my mother’s illness to threaten me into staying by his side, purely to humiliate and torment me."

The implication was clear. Sheng Ting had admitted himself that he had never touched Jiang Nanxing.

Though Jiang Nanxing was slender, her face and figure were impeccable. In this social circle, anyone who went to such lengths to forcibly keep a great beauty would obviously do so to have their way with her.

The fact that Sheng Ting hadn't laid a hand on Jiang Nanxing forced everyone to believe that he really was impotent.

People can never resist a juicy piece of gossip. Among the onlookers, someone couldn't help but chime in, "So, President Sheng really is... not capable?"

This was a matter of male dignity. Sheng Ting, no longer caring about the phone, turned around, his face full of murderous rage, and snapped, "Who is talking nonsense!"

The onlookers immediately put on hypocritical smiles, nodding along, "Yes, yes, it’s all just nonsense!"

"Miss Jiang must be trying to smear your reputation, President Sheng."

"Exactly! Jiang Nanxing just wants to destroy what she can't have, that’s why she’s spouting such nonsense!"

In reality, they didn't think that at all, and their gazes were like searchlights scanning Sheng Ting’s lower half. The scrutiny was almost palpable.

It was hard for Sheng Ting to ignore it. He grew even more furious and embarrassed, blurting out in a panic, "Jiang Nanxing! Stop these low-class tricks of yours."

"As punishment, don't even think about your mother’s surgery going smoothly!"

With that, he took Yao Xinyue and turned to leave as if fleeing.

The system was as happy as a shrieking chicken.

After Sheng Ting left, the onlookers didn't disperse, their eyes filled with curiosity. They desperately wanted to know how exactly Sheng Ting was "not capable."

Qin Jiu lifted his eyelids, the smile on his face not reaching his eyes. "What, do you want to keep watching the show?"

"I don't mind letting you all play a part in it."

As soon as he said this, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

This banquet was worth it; they had witnessed such a massive piece of gossip.

What? Afraid of offending Sheng Ting?

Well, it wasn't just them; there were plenty of other people watching. What was there to be afraid of?

Once everyone was gone, Qin Jiu grabbed Jiang Nanxing's restless hand and pushed her away to shut the door.

Jiang Nanxing crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Qin Jiu. "How did it go?"

Qin Jiu took out his phone and showed Jiang Nanxing a message.

Jiang Nanxing’s mother had already been successfully taken away from the hospital.

She smiled. "President Qin, this doesn't count as you helping me alone, after all, I put in the effort too."

Qin Jiu didn't deny it. "True, without Miss Jiang, it would have taken more time."

He even offered compensation. "How about this: I will cover the follow-up medical expenses for your mother."

Whether it was a few million or tens of millions, it was nothing to Qin Jiu.

Jiang Nanxing, of course, wouldn't refuse. "Deal."

"So, President Qin, do you want to continue our cooperation?"

"Next, I will provide you with a way to severely damage the reputation of Sheng Ting’s company."

Qin Jiu tilted his chin, looking intrigued. "Tell me about it."

Jiang Nanxing’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Why is President Qin always so fond of getting something for nothing?"

Qin Jiu chuckled; it was his habitual negotiation style. Because in negotiations, he was always the one in the dominant position.

He had naturally acted that way when facing Jiang Nanxing.

But Jiang Nanxing was a bit special. Based on her circumstances, she shouldn't have been able to sit at the negotiating table as his equal.

Yet, she was sitting there, equal to him.

Qin Jiu found it quite interesting. He followed her lead and asked, "Then how does Miss Jiang think I should learn of this method?"

Jiang Nanxing shrugged, beaming. "Hasn't my goal always been clear?"

"I have a way to crush Sheng Ting, but I can't do it alone."

"Therefore, I need a partner like you, President Qin, who can stand up to him."

"What I want is for you to cooperate with me."

Qin Jiu scrutinized her. "Then what does Miss Jiang want to get from me?"

Since she had the ability to negotiate as his equal, she wouldn't let this cooperation pass without gaining something for herself. If it were him, even if he needed someone else's help to profit, he would still find a way to extract more from them.

He felt Jiang Nanxing was surely that kind of person too.

Jiang Nanxing tutted. "There really isn't anything else. I just want to crush Sheng Ting and subject him to both physical and mental humiliation."

After all, that was her mission.

"Having you act as my 'white moonlight' was just to better humiliate him."

"Just like we did earlier."

As she spoke, Jiang Nanxing gave a playful smile. "But if you're willing to offer a generous reward, that's fine too."

She wouldn't say no to money. Even during a mission, she had to make sure she lived comfortably.

Qin Jiu couldn't find a reason for her to be lying. Besides, other than wanting money and medical treatment for her mother, she didn't seem to need anything else.

Qin Jiu could easily afford all of that. If Jiang Nanxing could really help him crush Sheng Ting, he wouldn't be at a loss at all.

He reached out his hand toward her. "Then, happy to cooperate."

Jiang Nanxing shook his hand. "Happy to cooperate."

Qin Jiu asked, "So, can you tell me what the method is now?"

He added, "Your mother has already been taken into the operating room."

He pulled up a photo of her mother being wheeled into surgery.

Jiang Nanxing asked the system, "Xiao Er, is she really in the operating room?"

The system replied happily, "Yes, she was taken straight into surgery upon arrival at the hospital."

Jiang Nanxing thought this villain was much more reliable than the male lead.

Since that was the case, she spoke directly. "I served as both a nanny and a secretary for Sheng Ting, yet I never signed an employment contract and never received a single cent."

"President Qin should understand what I mean by that, right?"

Qin Jiu’s expression was complicated. He hadn't expected that wretch Sheng Ting to have really given Jiang Nanxing nothing.

Being so stingy was a disgrace to their ranks as corporate titans.
