Chapter 333: Chapter 333 We believe in science! Reject superstition!
Nangong Mo’s tone was ice-cold, showing no pity whatsoever.
The secretary hesitated slightly, "But if the Xi family finds out that we’re targeting Xi Zuzi, and they refuse to sell us the Ancient Jade..."
Doing business on one hand while cutting down the Xi family’s granddaughter — wouldn’t that be too unscrupulous?
Nangong Mo took a puff of his cigar, exhaling a thick ring of smoke, "Are you stupid? If they refuse to sell it, can’t we just snatch it?"
The secretary shivered, "Yes!"
He was wrong, "scruple" was never in the Fourth Young Master Nangong’s dictionary — smiling while doing business, cutting down your granddaughter, and snatching your treasure...
That’s what his Fourth Young Master Nangong did as a regular modus operandi!

The morning sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, spreading over the school playground.
One day to go until the high-stakes exam.
The Nanshan Class, having spent a fortune to purchase the exam tips compendium leaked by Wang Xin, were now completely relaxed before the exam, to the point where they had no desire for further review.
The night before, they left the evening study session early. This final day, if not for the group photo, they wouldn’t even have wanted to come.
As they passed the playground, they saw the East Sea Class lined up in formation, performing some bizarre movements, looking utterly sincere.
"Are those losers playing monkey games?"
"No, they’re probably the monkeys being played with, right? Can’t you see Xi Zuzi standing on the stage pointing at them?"
"I heard they pulled an all-nighter studying, and Xi Zuzi dragged them out of the classroom early this morning, claiming it was to stretch their muscles and bones, also imparting them some sort of meditation and breathing techniques."
"Damn, could it be that Xi Zuzi actually believes in that cultivating immortality crap? Has she read too many fantasy novels?"
"These losers will stop at nothing for the high-stakes exam, even going along with absurdities like cultivating immortality? Do they really think learning some ridiculous exercises can make them surpass our three years of hard work? Hahaha!"
"Tsk tsk, believe in science, reject superstition, stay away from those East Sea Class losers, don’t let them infect you with stupidity..."
The students of Nanshan Class burst into laughter.
Fang Yumei pranced over to them, beaming, "Where’s Wang Xin?"
"Here... Teacher, I’m here!"
"Got a treasure to show you."
"What is it?... Whoa, is that the legendary ’Always Pass Exam’ talisman? Handmade by Zhang Shensuan himself?"
Wang Xin was excited, and the other students gathered around curiously, their envious voices echoing one after another.
Fang Yumei couldn’t help but feel quite proud, "Of course. Originally, it was for Miss Meng, but she can’t take the high-stakes exam, so you’re getting a bargain. Not much, twenty grand; see if your parents can come up with that amount."
Wang Xin swallowed hard, "No need to ask, I’ll buy it!"
Yesterday, he made forty or fifty grand reselling Professor Liu’s exam tips compendium, so he could afford this talisman paper!
Fang Yumei handed the ’Always Pass Exam’ talisman to Wang Xin, casting a sideways glance at the East Sea Class students on the playground, still seriously learning meditation and breathing techniques from Xi Zuzi, "Wang Xin, your exam number is in the same test venue as the East Sea Class. Use this talisman well; it can focus all the luck on you alone."
The crowd drew a collective breath, "...Incredible!"
In other words, Wang Xin entering the exam venue with this talisman would knock the East Sea Class losers out? All the exam luck concentrated on him, holy cow.
Wang Xin licked his lips, "Everyone, await my celebratory banquet! Once I become the top scorer, I’ll treat everyone to a feast at a Five-star Hotel!"
The crowd cheered.
Even though they couldn’t share the awesome talisman paper, they were happy to see the East Sea Class losers suffer bad luck.
Oh boy, they said it, the talisman paper should be pretty effective...
