After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 159 wasted an opportunity

He is generally a more lifestyle-oriented assistant, handling only minor tasks, while the main work is handled by Assistant Li.

Upon hearing this, Assistant Li immediately stood up, his face full of self-reproach, and said, "Boss, is there something I haven't done well enough lately?"

“You’ve been too busy lately, take a break.” Xiao Heqi looked at Assistant Liu and said, “Go and coordinate the relevant work arrangements with Assistant Li.”

Assistant Liu felt utterly hopeless, but dared not show it: "Okay, boss."

Once Xiao Heqi left.

Assistant Li asked, puzzled, "Boss, what's wrong today?"

She actually knows how to feel sorry for him now.

Assistant Liu muttered, "How would I know?"

The two of them have always had a clear division of labor, so who knows what's wrong with the boss today?

He didn't even want to drink water anymore, so he sat down immediately and sent a message to Jian Ning.

"Ms. Jian, I have to work overtime recently. Could you send me those strawberries via same-city courier? I'll cover the shipping cost."

Jian Ning: "No problem, I also prepared a copy for your boss, can you give it to him for me?"

Assistant Liu glanced at the message, straightened his back abruptly, and muttered, "I knew it. Why would the boss suddenly ask me to get involved in the cooperation project in the west of the city?"

This was completely unrelated to his original work arrangements.

Assistant Liu sent a message to his boss: "Boss, I probably can't work overtime today. My family has arranged blind dates for me. There are also some tomorrow and the day after. My private life will probably be quite busy for a while."

Xiao Heqi: "Okay, then let Assistant Li come with me."

A few hours later.

Assistant Liu received a same-city delivery, took his share of strawberries, and then knocked on the CEO's office door.

He only pushed open the door and went in after hearing a "come in".

Xiao Heqi saw what he was holding, looked up, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes: "When did you get this?"

Assistant Liu smiled and said, "Boss, these strawberries were specially sent to you by Miss Jian, delivered by same-city express."

Xiao Heqi: "..."

"You go down."

Looking at the box of strawberries on the table, Xiao Heqi picked up his phone, swiped to unlock the page, and then turned it off again.

The next second, my phone chimed, the screen lit up, and it was a notification sound for a new WeChat message.

Xiao Heqi unlocked the app and saw a message from Jian Ning.

"Are strawberries delicious?"

Xiao Heqi replied with a simple "Mm".

Huayue Villa.

Jian Ning was quite busy, and only asked politely during a break in her work.

She had just sent out a local package half an hour ago, and Zhang Nan came over as soon as he finished work.

Just then, Zhang Nan saw her playing on her phone, so he snatched it away, grabbed her arm, and pleaded, "Ningning, please demonstrate for me again how you make fire by rubbing your palms together."

Jian Ning flipped her fingers and used fire manipulation to ignite a flame in the palm of her right hand.

Zhang Nan exclaimed in amazement: "That's incredible!"

Jian Ning closed her palms, and the flames automatically went out.

Zhang Nan grabbed her arm, "Ningning, let's do it again, let's do it again."

"Nan Nan, that's enough!" Jian Ning pulled her small hand away. "You've already made me demonstrate three times. Stop treating me like a magician performing magic tricks on stage."

Zhang Nan smiled at her, shifted her weight on the sofa closer to Jian Ning, and the two squeezed together. "This isn't the first time I've heard that there really is such a thing as cultivating immortality. I'm just curious."

Jian Ning took out a carefully prepared bracelet, necklace, and earrings from her Qiankun Ring, and even a cute little seashell ring.

"For you."

Zhang Nan took them. "These seashells are so pretty! Did you buy them in Zhangdao?"

"Mm," Jian Ning replied.

Zhang Nan returned all of these to Jian Ning, saying, "Quick, help me put them on."

Jian Ning helped her put on the bracelet, then the necklace, and finally let her put on the earrings herself in front of the mirror. Zhang Nan looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I look so pretty."

Jian Ning said, "If you encounter danger, just hold any of the seashells in your hand and think of me, and I will be able to hear you."

This was another way she suddenly realized how to use telepathy after breaking through on the isolated island.

This technique not only allows her to transmit her voice to others, but she can also use spiritual energy to attach herself to objects, enabling others to transmit their voices to her, although there are still limitations.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Nan dashed out of the yard.

Then, Jian Ning heard a voice from beyond the heavens.

"Hey, Ningning, can you really hear me? What's seven plus eight?"

Jian Ning: "..."

She used telepathy to reply to Zhang Nan, "Fifteen."

Zhang Nan's excited shout came from the courtyard: "Holy crap, this really works!"

Jian Ning walked out and leaned against the door frame: "I haven't finished speaking yet. A seashell can only be used once."

Zhang Nan's smile froze. He touched the necklace and seashell in his hand and immediately regretted it, saying regretfully, "What a waste."

Jian Ning smiled at her, "It's okay, I have several more necklaces, you can have them all."

Zhang Nan asked, "So, no matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, will you immediately appear by my side?"

Jian Ning: "I'm cultivating immortality, not a real god."

The sound of dragon dancing could be heard from a great distance.

"You two, hurry up and help me take this."

Jian Ning and Zhang Nan immediately went to lend a hand.

Zhang Nan asked incredulously, "Xiao Wu, did you disturb the cherry orchard? Why did you bring so many boxes of cherries?"

“My aunt knew Ningning was back, so she specially asked me to bring it over. There weren’t many, just five boxes, but it was exhausting carrying them all by myself.” Long Wu said, her eyes suddenly glancing at the necklace around Zhang Nan’s neck, and then looking down, she saw a matching bracelet on Zhang Nan’s wrist.

This is clearly a design I made myself.

The seashells sold outside aren't as beautiful and exquisite as these.

Her eyes darkened as she carried the cherries into the house, forcing a smile: "Finally in. My hands are about to break."

Zhang Nan joked, "Your aunt isn't trying to get you to buy groceries again, is she?"

"No, no." Long Wu shook her head. "I just wanted to see if I could buy some strawberries."

The last few words were spoken softer and softer.

Jian Ning said, "Of course you can, but I don't grow many. You can pick some to eat, and if you want to sell, just sell a small amount."

Long Wu nodded. "Then I can finally say I've done my job."

"Oh, right, Xiaowu, I bought some jewelry on Zhangdao Island." Jian Ning took out an exquisite gift box from the cabinet. "This set is for you."

Long Wu's eyes lit up immediately. She took the gift box, opened it, and found a set of beautiful seashell jewelry in a brownish-yellow tone. It was completely different from the style Zhang Nan was wearing and suited her perfectly.

"It looks great, I like it, thank you Ningning."

Jian Ning said, "There's no need to thank me. As long as you like it, that's all that matters."

Upon seeing the gift box, Zhang Nan put his hands on his hips and exclaimed, "That's not fair! Why did the set you gave to Xiao Wu come with a gift box, but mine didn't?"

Jian Ning: "..."

We have to fight for this.

Can I say that there just happens to be one gift box left at home?

Long Wu felt even warmer inside. Her fingers tightened around the gift box, but she relaxed and asked, "Ningning, why did you suddenly decide to go to Zhangdao for a trip?"

Jian Ning: "I'm going to clear my head."

Long Wu asked with a gossipy look, "Could it be... because of those two Xiao brothers? I've heard that their two companies are locked in a fierce battle. Since you weren't in Beicheng, they've been secretly investigating your whereabouts."

Jian Ning listened with little interest.

Men will only slow down her cultivation speed.

"It has nothing to do with them."

Seeing that she wasn't interested, Long Wu stopped mentioning the Xiao brothers and brought up another matter: "Oh, right, there's another big thing. The Xie family actually kicked Xie Weiwei out and made her change her surname. It seems they discovered something related to the fact that you two were switched back then."
