Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Eric and Tan Ailing slowly walked to the edge of the artificial lake at the foot of the mountain. Standing on the shore, they looked out over the clear water, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

They found a bench by the lake and sat down.

Eric spoke gently, "Ailing, we've explored the villa these past few days. What do you think? If there's anything unsatisfactory, we can make arrangements to improve it..."

"No need, it's fine here!" Tan Ailing hugged Eric's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "As long as you're by my side, I have no other desires..."

These rare words of affection from Tan Ailing warmed Eric's heart. He couldn't help but gently embrace her and whisper sweet nothings.

After cuddling for a while, Tan Ailing suddenly laughed inexplicably.

Eric raised an eyebrow, asking, "What's so funny?"

"Eric, do you know that the 'Jade Linglong' case has greatly angered the Shanghai government? It's said that even the central government is very concerned and has ordered relevant departments to solve the case within a time limit. Now, the entire Shanghai police force is in turmoil because of this case. Even my former colleagues in the organized crime investigation department have been mobilized and are busy! Last night, Yan Muchun was complaining to me on the phone..."

Eric sensitively noticed that while Tan Ailing spoke with a mocking tone, her words were full of envy.

Eric could somewhat understand Tan Ailing's thoughts. After all, forcing an independent woman to do nothing all day was, in a sense, a cruel thing to do!

"Do you feel bored now?" he asked.

Tan Ailing was slightly surprised, but when she saw Eric's smile, she calmed down. However, she still didn't tell the truth, saying, "No! How could I be bored with you? Even when you were in seclusion studying magic, I was not idle. I was always practicing martial arts..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Eric shook his head, ignoring her words, and said to himself, "I'll find you a job in a few days..."

Tan Ailing's face turned slightly pale, and she shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, I won't work at Ling Yan Group! I get a terrible headache when I see those financial statements and business plans..."

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to work at Ling Yan Group!" Eric chuckled, watching Tan Ailing's performance. He said, "I don't even want to go there myself, how could I ask you to go?"

Tan Ailing breathed a sigh of relief, patted her ample chest, and exaggeratedly said like Tang Feiyan, "Thank goodness you didn't think of that, otherwise, not only would I have a headache, but those professional managers at Ling Yan Group would also have a headache!"

Her rarely-seen playful appearance made Eric couldn't help but laugh.

When Eric's smile faded, Tan Ailing tilted her head and asked, "Eric, if you don't go to work, will those professional managers cause trouble? After all, they were originally from Zhu Ming Group, and we don't know much about them..."

"Don't worry!" Eric smiled proudly. "Although I can't guarantee that everyone at Ling Yan Group is loyal and devoted to the company, the upper management is loyal to the company!"

Although Tan Ailing was not clear about the spiritual magic Eric had used on the management of Ling Yan Group, she deeply understood Eric's methods. She didn't ask further and just smiled, "Although the company is united internally, external enemies are still formidable..."

Eric frowned slightly. "Are you talking about the An Family Group?"

"Yes!" Tan Ailing smiled ambiguously. "I don't know what you did to the An Family Miss, but it has angered the patriarch of the An Family, who is willing to suffer a thousand losses to make us suffer eight hundred?"

Eric was also very puzzled. Why did the An Family Group have to oppose him? They often abandoned the merchant's characteristic of "seeking profit" in the business field and wanted to harm both Ling Yan Group and themselves! If it weren't for the fact that Ling Yan Group's partners were mostly controlled by Skidmore and the other multinational corporations, and were not tempted or threatened by the An Family Group, Ling Yan Group would probably have been forced to close long ago!

"Who cares what the An Family father and daughter are up to?" Eric didn't care about the provocation from the An Family Group at all. "If the professional managers of Ling Yan Group, with the help of the multinational corporations controlled by Skidmore and the others, can't resist the An Family Group, then they would have lived in vain!"

Tan Ailing chuckled and said, "Anyway, before Feiyan left, she entrusted Ling Yan Group to you. If the group is in a mess before she comes back, I wonder if Feiyan will spare you..."

Eric didn't answer the question, just looked at Tan Ailing strangely.

Initially ignoring it, Tan Ailing gradually felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but say, "Eric, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm just curious..." Eric raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you ask me what kind of job I'm going to find for you?"

"Why ask so much?" Tan Ailing said indifferently, "When you need to tell me, you will. Besides, I trust that you will consider it carefully for me..."

Eric sighed helplessly and shook his head slightly.

Tan Ailing smiled lightly and then said, "Eric, besides finding a job for me, you also need to consider two other people!"

"Who?" Eric was a little puzzled at first, but then he realized, "You mean Luoli and Sun Clouds, right?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Don't you notice?" Tan Ailing gave Eric a look, saying, "These days, Luoli and Sun Clouds have been feeling down..."

"Really?" Eric thought for a moment, shook his head, and couldn't tell. However, based on his trust in Tan Ailing, he still asked, "Why are they feeling down?"

Tan Ailing rolled her eyes and said, "Because the things they were supposed to be responsible for are now being taken care of by those blood slave maids!"

Eric was a little stunned. These days, the blood slave maids had been serving him, washing, cooking, and cleaning the courtyard. Luoli and Sun Clouds, who followed him as maids, had nothing to do and became decorations...

Realizing this, Eric understood why the two apprentices were feeling down. "Are they afraid that they are useless to me and are afraid that I will send them back to the underground palace?"

"I guess that's the only reason!" Tan Ailing nodded and said, "Psychologically, they are very insecure now. You must find something that can help you and highlight their importance, otherwise, their mood will continue to be low!"

"I see..." Eric pondered for a moment, clapped his hands, and said, "I've got it!"

In Tan Ailing's curious eyes, I had someone call Luoli and Sun Clouds over.

Originally, I didn't feel it, but after listening to Tan Ailing's description, Eric found that the two apprentices looked a little haggard.

"I don't know why Rinpoche urgently summoned us?" Maybe Eric was too suspicious, but he always felt that Luoli's words contained a hint of anticipation.

Eric didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, asking Sun Clouds, "You must like singing, right? When we were at Sakya, I heard you humming softly while cleaning the house several times..."

Sun Clouds didn't know what Eric was up to and nodded nervously.

"I have a star entertainment company under my command. You will report there tomorrow..."

When Eric finished speaking, Tan Ailing immediately understood and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Luoli glanced at her stunned apprentice and asked cautiously, "Rinpoche, I don't know what the star entertainment company does?"

Tan Ailing smiled slightly and answered, "It's an entertainment and economic company, with qualified recording studios and production teams..."

At this point, Sun Clouds naturally understood, her face full of disbelief, "Rinpoche, are you... are you saying you want me to be a singer?"

"Yes. What do you think?"

Sun Clouds' eyes were excited, but her words were hesitant, "But, Rinpoche, I'm your maid..."

Eric smiled faintly and interrupted, "So what, if you become a singer, will you no longer be my maid?"

These words frightened Sun Clouds, her pretty face turned pale, and she hurriedly knelt, saying, "Sun Clouds will always be Rinpoche's person. No matter what happens, this will never change!"

"If that's the case, why hesitate?"

"But, what about Priest?"

"You are my person, naturally, I will arrange it. Why bother about what Priest will do?" Eric said somewhat impatiently, "I only ask you one thing, do you want to be a singer?"

Hearing the impatience in Eric's words, Sun Clouds hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I'm willing!"

Eric nodded in satisfaction and turned to Luoli, saying, "You'll partner with your apprentice. I believe once your duo emerges, it will create a sensation nationwide!"
