Chapter 15: From Arrogant to Obsequious in an Instant Turn into a Simp!
Lu Jingchen looked at Wang Jianjun, who was blocking his way.
The other person's anxious expression made him smile slightly.
He knew perfectly well in his heart: they'd finally taken the bait.
Just now you were stubbornly calling me a charlatan, but now you're begging for my help?
Wang Jianjun rubbed his hands together, his face full of a fawning smile.
She quickly moved closer to Lu Jingchen, her waist bending slightly involuntarily.
He was a completely different person from the arrogant and domineering foreman he used to be.
"My name is Wang Jianjun, and I am the person in charge of this construction site."
"May I ask your name, young man?"
"I was blind to your greatness just now and offended you, young man."
"You are so magnanimous, please don't take it to heart."
Lu Jingchen spoke in a tone as indifferent as plain water, casually giving his name.
"Lu Jingchen".
After saying that, he didn't even give her another glance.
She turned around and walked away, acting as if she didn't care about paying any attention to him at all.
Wang Jianjun's face turned pale instantly; he was terrified.
He quickly rushed forward and blocked Lu Jingchen's path once again.
I almost knelt down before him.
"Brother Lu, wait! Please don't go!"
"Young man, if this strange thing at my construction site isn't dealt with, someone's going to die sooner or later!"
His face was full of pleading, as if he were begging his grandfather and grandmother.
His tone was full of barely suppressed pleading.
"I wonder if I could ask you, young man, for a helping hand?"
"Whatever your conditions, I will try my best to meet them!"
Lu Jingchen finally stopped and turned to look at him.
He had a half-smile on his face, as if he were watching a clown jumping around.
"This is a trivial matter for me, just a matter of lifting a finger."
"But why should I help you?"
"Didn't you just call me a charlatan promoting feudal superstition?"
Wang Jianjun's face instantly turned bright red; he was so embarrassed he could have dug out a three-bedroom apartment.
He wanted to slap himself twice on the spot, cursing himself for being so rude.
"Yes, yes, yes, I was prejudiced and had a foul mouth!"
"Young man, you're a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against me!"
"If you're willing to help me get through this ordeal, you'll definitely reap the rewards!"
"Name your price, I'll pay whatever it is!"
Seeing him sweating profusely with anxiety, Lu Jingchen slowly extended a finger.
One million.
The three words sounded light and airy, yet they were like a thunderclap.
This completely stunned Wang Jianjun, leaving him frozen in place with his eyes wide open.
It took me a while to come to my senses.
His face instantly showed a troubled expression, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
One million is no small sum; the construction site was already losing money due to the shutdown.
He lost a million dollars in one go, and the pain was so intense it made his heart tremble.
My heart was pounding, and I remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that he was dawdling and not saying anything, Lu Jingchen didn't even bother to say anything more.
He lifted his leg, turned around, and was about to leave without the slightest hesitation.
Wang Jianjun was now truly anxious; his face turned deathly pale.
He rushed forward again to stop him, forcing a bitter smile onto his face.
"Here! I'll give it to you! Brother Lu, please don't go!"
"It's just a million! I'll pay!"
He finally understood it completely.
This young man truly possesses extraordinary abilities.
Buying a million dollars to ensure the safety of everyone on the construction site and to ensure you don't lose your shirt is absolutely worth it!
Lu Jingchen then stopped and turned to look at him.
"I need cash. I don't have a bank card and I don't accept bank transfers."
Wang Jianjun was taken aback again, not expecting this requirement.
But now that we're under someone else's roof, we have no choice but to bow our heads.
He gritted his teeth and nodded firmly.
"Fine! Cash it is!"
As he spoke, he immediately took out his phone and dialed the finance department's number.
He launched into a tirade over the phone, his voice deafening.
"Get me one million in cash right now, immediately!"
"Deliver it to the construction site! The sooner the better! If you're even a minute late, you're out of a job!"
He slammed down the phone and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
With a fawning smile on her face, she tentatively began to speak.
"Brother Lu, do you see... now you can help me solve this problem at the construction site, right?"
Lu Jingchen smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
He raised his hand, his fingertips gently tracing the antique black ring on his finger.
A barely perceptible white light flashed across the ring.
The next second, a piece of warm and translucent white jade appeared out of thin air in his palm.
It was like magic, without the slightest sign.
Wang Jianjun and Chen Deshun, who were standing nearby, were completely dumbfounded.
His eyes were wide open like saucers, and his mouth was so wide you could fit an egg in it.
The CPU burned out completely, and I was stunned for a long time.
Conjuring things out of thin air? What else could this be but a living god?
Lu Jingchen completely ignored their shocked expressions.
Spiritual energy gathers at the fingertips, sharp as a carving knife.
The carving on the jade was swift and fluid, so fast that only a fleeting afterimage remained.
In just over ten seconds, a jade talisman engraved with runes was completed.
He casually tossed it, and the jade talisman landed steadily in Wang Jianjun's arms.
"Keep this close to your body; it will protect you from evil spirits."
He turned and looked around, then casually asked a question.
"Do you have any paper or notebooks here?"
Although Chen Deshun looked confused, he quickly came to his senses.
He quickly took an old notebook out of his cloth bag and handed it over.
"Yes, yes, yes! Jingchen, here you go!"
Lu Jingchen took the notebook and casually flipped to a blank page.
A faint golden light emanated from her fingertips once again.
Fingers flew across the blank pages with fluid grace.
There was no ink or brush, only a faint afterimage left by the fingertips.
There are also runes that are difficult to see with the naked eye, deeply imprinted on the paper.
He drew four pictures in one go, tore them off casually, and handed them to Wang Jianjun.
"Find someone to stick these four pieces of paper in the four corners of the construction site."
His tone was firm and he was extremely confident.
"I guarantee that the illness will be cured in three days at most."
"There will be no more strange things happening on the construction site, and all your discomfort will disappear."
Wang Jianjun respectfully accepted the four sheets of paper with both hands.
I looked at it over and over again, but after a long time, the paper was completely blank.
There wasn't even a trace of ink; it looked exactly like four blank sheets of paper.
His brows furrowed instantly, and his heart began to pound again.
With a look of hesitation on his face, he couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Lu, this... there's nothing on this at all?"
"Aren't these just four blank sheets of paper? They don't even look like talismans."
His tone was full of undisguised suspicion.
Lu Jingchen's smile faded, and his tone became very indifferent.
Yet it possesses an undeniable and powerful aura.
"If you trust me, do as I say."
"If you don't believe me, just give these four pieces of paper back to me now."
He reached out his hand, as if to take the talisman back.
His tone instantly turned cold, carrying a warning.
"Let me be clear from the start: I'm short of money right now, which is why I'm willing to help you."
"If you give it back to me today, even if you regret it and beg me in tears afterward, I will never do it again."
"If someone dies, it has nothing to do with me."
Wang Jianjun suddenly pulled his hand back, quickly clutching the four sheets of paper tightly to his chest.
They treated it like some rare treasure, as if they were afraid Lu Jingchen would snatch it back.
Looking at the resolute look in Lu Jingchen's eyes, he was torn between his own mind and his inner turmoil.
Believe it or not, these are just four blank sheets of paper; it looks ridiculous.
You don't believe me? I just witnessed someone destroy evil spirits with a flick of their finger and conjure jade out of thin air.
He gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and made up his mind.
"Alright! Brother Lu, I trust you!"
"I'll have someone stick them on the four corners just like you said!"
He carefully folded the four pieces of paper and tucked them into the inside pocket of his suit jacket.
They treated it like a lifeline, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
He then raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.
With a respectful smile on his face, he spoke to Lu Jingchen.
"It's only a little past eleven o'clock, Brother Lu, please wait a moment."
"One million in cash is not a small amount, and it will take some time to withdraw it from the bank."
"It will take a while to arrive, please bear with us."
