In the cafe rest room.
Jiang Nan sat on the sofa, looking at the financial report in his hand, a gentle smile on his face.
This month, Dandelion had donated 27 million to help children who could not afford school.
They anonymously funded repairs for several schools, invested in the foundation, and built two new welfare homes.
Jiang Nan’s expression turned serious. “The money is spent, but good steel must be used on the blade. Keep a close eye on project progress! Do not let anyone take the money and do nothing!”
Luo Lan smiled. “Nan-shen, rest assured. The foundation has our own people. There were cases of embezzlement before.”
“We have dealt with them. After a few incidents, no one dares touch the money we donate anymore!”
Jiang Nan grinned. “Very good!”
Beside them, Yu Qiao rummaged in her bag and pulled out a stack of envelopes, smiling mischievously.
“We receive some from various places every month. Take a look!”
Jiang Nan opened the envelopes curiously.
He pulled out a sheet of drawing paper coloured with crayons. The content was rather “abstract” and clearly childish.
But one could vaguely make out a little girl in a white coat standing on grass.
Turning it over, words were written on the back.
“Thank you uncle for your help. Yaya will study hard and become a scientist in the future to help more people!”
(เน^๊ด^เน)
Jiang Nan’s face lit up with an auntie smile. Such a cute little one. Could not write “become” so used pinyin?
The envelope also contained three test papers, all 100 points!
Jiang Nan looked at the papers, full of emotion. “Studying is great. I never got 100 in primary school!”
He opened envelope after envelope, reading them one by one. A smile often curved his lips, sometimes laughing out loud.
Yu Qiao and Luo Lan smiled too. Following a boss like this was truly wonderful.
After a full half hour, Jiang Nan carefully stored all the envelopes in his alternate dimension.
His expression turned serious. “Dandelion has no issues lately, right?”
Yu Qiao said, “After the Blood Alliance incident, no one in the country dares cause trouble. Everything is going smoothly!”
“Internationally, because of Nan-shen boss, many underground organisations tried to trip us up.”
“But after the world map changed last time, they all quieted down!”
Jiang Nan chuckled gleefully. Flattening Dracula had quite the impact!
“How is the website coming? I heard chaos in the Abyss. Yao Hong okay?”
“Why need more little yellow beans? Selling well internationally?”
Yu Qiao and Luo Lan exchanged glances, expressions darkening.
“Should we say? Big Sister Hong told us not to tell Nan-shen!”
“What cannot be said? I am worried about big sister there…”
Jiang Nan frowned. “Speak! No more hiding things from me!”
Luo Lan looked troubled. “Big Sister Hong and the others might have been collectively poisoned. All the little yellow beans you gave before were used to detox our own people!”
“To avoid losses, some of us have withdrawn from Evernight City and settled on Dandelion Island. Big Sister Hong and the others are still inside!”
Jiang Nan’s heart sank. “Collective poisoning? What happened? Who did it?”
Yu Qiao shook her head. “No, Big Sister Hong said it might be an Abyss issue. People in Evernight City are very irritable, violent, irrational.”
“Because of this, previously agreed cooperations cannot proceed. Some backed out, even leading to small conflicts!”
“At the same time, integrating underground black market channels touched Evernight City Master’s cake, Scarlet Queen! She will not yield. This cannot succeed!”
“Several attempts at face-to-face talks failed. She has no intention of meeting!”
Jiang Nan’s brows furrowed tightly. The Abyss chaos seemed far more severe than he imagined!
Not just Dandelion people poisoned? The entire Evernight City affected?
“What is this Evernight City Master? Scarlet Queen?”
Yu Qiao said solemnly, “Daotian-level powerhouse! Belongs to no country, extremely strong, even unafraid of Bright Society’s Odin God Master!”
“She holds the core of the first layer. Evernight City is her territory. She calls the shots!”
Jiang Nan paused!
This person was tough!
Operating Evernight City in the Abyss independently, without relying on any country?
Practically establishing her own kingdom!
Jiang Nan: “Yao Hong and the others okay? What exactly happened in the Abyss?”
Yu Qiao said, “Big Sister Hong and the others are temporarily fine, still inside negotiating with various forces. But it is getting more chaotic. Countries have started intervening!”
“The Abyss entrance in Evernight City is sealed. No one knows the situation inside!”
“Big Sister Hong told us not to tell you, fearing danger if you went abroad!”
Jiang Nan chuckled. “Danger? Whoever dares make me lose 2 billion will be the one in danger!”
He was truly unafraid of danger. With the stall cloth, what was there to fear?
Was his stall fee paid for nothing?
He slammed 500 jin of detox little yellow beans on the table!
“Send these to Yao Hong first. Tell them to eat freely! Even as meals, no problem!”
Luo Lan shivered.
Eat little yellow beans as meals?
They would not die from poison but from diarrhoea first?
Jiang Nan stroked his chin. “Wait for my message. I should go to Evernight City myself. Been idle lately!”
“And check if there are any space-type spirit pearls to grab!”
Yu Qiao: ???
Grab?
So blatant now?
Luo Lan was also worried. Nan-shen’s identity was sensitive. Who knew what chaos the Abyss would bring!
“Right, the daily items boss wanted are ready.”
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up. He followed them to the warehouse!
…
When Jiang Nan left the cafe, it was already 3 PM!
Xiong Er and the others had finished coffee and gone shopping!
Jiang Nan thought for a bit and called Yang Jian!
“Hello? Jian-ge, can I take a trip to the Abyss?”
In his office, Yang Jian paused, then smiled bitterly. “Uncle Xiao told you about the Abyss?”
Now it was Jiang Nan’s turn to be confused. “No? Grandpa Xiao said nothing to me!”
Yang Jian was stunned. “Then why go to the Abyss?”
Jiang Nan: “Hehe hehe, I…”
Yang Jian’s face darkened. “Enough! No need to say. I understand!”
Clearly going to cause trouble!
“You must understand. Evernight City in the Abyss is somewhat autonomous. National spirit warrior troops are forbidden from entering!”
“Scarlet Queen holds the first layer core. If any country breaks rules, she seals the first layer entrance. No country can access Abyss resources!”
“That is her capital and why countries tolerate Evernight City’s existence!”
“In other words, if something happens to you inside, I cannot send troops to extract you!”
Jiang Nan paused. No wonder Evernight City had not been devoured by countries!
Scarlet Queen held the lid?
The Abyss like a pot of rice!
Countries all rice eaters, eating from the pot!
If anyone misbehaved, wanting to seize the pot, Scarlet Queen covered it!
No one eats?
Impressive!
Queen has the goods!
Jiang Nan chuckled. “Rest assured. I can escape. I value my life more than anyone!”
Yang Jian sighed. Who could stop Jiang Nan if he wanted to go?
Not letting him? He might teleport to the Abyss tonight!
Notifying him was already giving face!
“You can go, but take Mila. You two together, I can be at ease!”
Mila’s time plus Jiang Nan’s space!
Far more than 1+1=2!
Jiang Nan scratched his head. “Fine. But you not afraid Mila gets snatched?”
Yang Jian said irritably, “I am more afraid you die out there! If you are gone, Mila would go mad!”
“Go if you must. Both return safely. Back to academy and await notice!”
Jiang Nan paused. “Await what notice at academy? My trip will not take that long!”
Yang Jian worried. “Things are complicated. I have work too. This time we fight to the end!”
“Uncle Xiao specifically named you. I thought forget it. After all, your Devil Jiang reputation stinks abroad!”
Jiang Nan chuckled gleefully, hung up, and stretched lazily!
He headed straight to the mall rendezvous point!
Yang Jian contacted Xiao Chuohuo!
“Uncle Xiao, Jiang Nan can be released. Accept the mission. Delay further, I fear too late!”
Xiao Chuohuo: (;ยดเผเบถะเผเบถ`) Woo woo woo, not easy! I accept now. Come tomorrow!”
Yang Jian paused. What? Crying?
People get emotional with age?
In the mall, everyone had gathered, hands full of bags!
Only Glasses Brother looked shattered, black eyes, claiming card issues!
This must be lying with eyes open?
But no sign of Xia Yao, Mila, Little Wine Nest!
An Xiaoqi: “I just saw Yao Yao-jie at the 7th floor milk tea shop. Call her!”
Jiang Nan, phone hung up, shrugged. “Lang Mie’s phone dead!”
An Xiaoqi: “I will go find her!”
Jiang Nan snickered evilly. “No need for trouble. I have a way!”
He strode toward security!
Three minutes later!
The mall’s speakers broadcast the announcer’s voice repeatedly!
“Little friend Xia Yao, your daddy is waiting at the service desk. Please come quickly to the first floor service desk!”
“Do not talk to strangers. Do not take candy from strange uncles!”
At this moment, on the third floor, Xia Yao holding Mila drinking milk tea widened her eyes. A mouthful sprayed out!
Big Lang Mie: Pfft (หแทฮตหแท เซเน)เผก
“Cough cough cough, Xiao! Nan!”
She rushed to the railing, looked down through the atrium, face burning red!
Jiang Nan stood smiling at the service desk, waving at her!
Jiang Nan: (๏ฝฅแทแฝข๏ฝฅแท )เญจ
“Yo, little friend Xia Yao!”
[Resentment value from Xia Yao +666!]
Aaaah!
So embarrassing. Only Xiao Nan would do this!
No one finds people like this!
Jiang Nan tilted his head to the service desk lady. “This big girl, all grown up, still gets lost. Worries me to death!”
Service desk lady: (ูฅโ_โ)
“Your little friend is quite big…”
[Resentment value from Chen Di +233!]
