The Weird Life Game: Starting as a Department Head

Chapter 9 Risky chess, use it wisely

Long Jing bowed and scraped as he left the conference room.

"Shen Yao".

After Long Jing left, Xu Hang looked at his assistant and asked curiously:

Are you interested in working for Qingwu Media?

This question left Shen Yao a little confused.

"Manager, I quite like working in mild winters."

Xu Hang nodded and smiled:

"So you answered every question that person asked? You boosted their morale while diminishing your own?"

If you like Qingwu Media so much, you can submit your resume now, and I'll explain it to the bank manager for you.

The dissatisfaction in her words was almost overflowing, and Lu Tingxue tried to smooth things over:

"Xu Hang, she didn't do it on purpose."

In response, she saw Xu Hang raise his hand toward her.

That meant she should shut up.

Shen Yao realized that Xu Hang was angry, and immediately lowered her head, her hands gripping her pants so tightly they wrinkled.

"I'm sorry, supervisor, I'm so sorry."

She didn't understand why Xu Hang was angry, only that she knew she had done something wrong, so she quickly apologized.

Seeing this, Lu Tingxue got up, took Shen Yao's hand, and escorted her to the door.

When she returned, she closed the door behind her.

"Weren't you usually quite calm and collected?"

After sitting down again, Lu Tingxue sighed softly:

"The only time I know of was when you were slandered by Zhang Yi, but you didn't make a fuss. You calmly went to find evidence to prove your innocence."

"We haven't known each other for very long, so it's only natural that we sometimes feel like strangers."

"Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental?"

"It's nothing."

Xu Hang scratched his head, as if trying to shake off too many thoughts from his mind.

As if sensing Xu Hang's thoughts, Lu Tingxue didn't press the matter further and changed the subject.

"You were quite bold just now. Long Jing was just frowning at first, but when he saw that you were really going to make the call, he was immediately intimidated."

"Many things are just trivial matters if they are not made public. In my background setting, there must be some similar trivial matters as well."

Xu Hang explained his risky move:

"If the background setting is that I am a young and promising credit manager, I can lend money to whomever I want."

"Now, I can make anyone I want investigated."

Lu Tingxue nodded thoughtfully, then asked with some concern:

"What if the other person isn't scared off by you?"

Xu Hang shrugged:

"I'll have to find another way. I can't really report myself. I don't even know what I did before."

Anyway, the phone is in my hands, so it's up to me whether I make the call or not.

Fortunately, he was scared off in the end, and now it's confirmed that this trick works, but it can't be used too often.

As the two were talking, there was another knock on the door.

dong dong.

The sound was very soft, and the other person did not push the door open to come in.

"Please come in."

This time, Xu Hang took the initiative to extend the invitation.

As the door opened, a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a business suit, walked in.

With wavy hair, light makeup, and an indifferent expression, she exudes a captivating charm through her aloofness.

The size of her business suit was just right, outlining her slender figure.

Upon seeing her, Lu Tingxue stood up and sat down on Xu Hang's side.

"Long time no see, Mr. Xu. I heard you're not quite clear-headed and have forgotten a lot of things?"

As soon as the woman sat down, she asked about the excuse Xu Hang used to cover up not knowing anyone.

To Xu Hang's surprise, the other party's tone was caring, rather than confrontational.

At this moment, Lu Tingxue quietly leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"This is He Xiyan, the director of the business department."

Xu Hang hummed in agreement, his gaze returning to the woman:

"Ms. He, I have indeed forgotten a lot of things. There's no need to worry. I will gradually remember the particularly important ones."

He then got straight to the point:

You should already know my demands.

"Is it the sponsor appreciation event tonight?"

He Xiyan asked curiously:

"Mr. Xu has helped the company many times, so this small request is naturally no problem for him. But why is Mr. Xu so insistent on this?"

Tonight's guests are only some small but stable sponsors. It's called a thank-you event, but it's really just a chance for the artists to get some exposure.

"My wife and I had a fight, and there was no dinner when I got home, so I figured I might as well go out and get a free meal."

Xu Hang made up an explanation without batting an eye, which made He Xiyan laugh.

"Mr. Xu, you're joking. Don't you do all the cooking at your house?"

After she finished speaking, a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes:

"I'd love to have another chance to try your cooking, but unfortunately, it's not really appropriate for me to go now that you're married."

What the hell did you assign me as a background and identity?

Xu Hang was startled by the other party's expression. Although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was pounding.

At an age when sleeping face down could break through the bed frame, his instincts told him that the woman in front of him might be more than just an acquaintance.

"Well, it's the kind of place I can't go into, so I'm planning to go back to the company tonight."

He quickly fabricated a second lie.

This time, He Xiyan didn't delve into it further, but simply nodded slightly.

"The location will be sent to your phone later. If you have already deleted me, you can ask Tingxue directly."

You two are classmates, right?

"That's right, this collaboration is also for her."

Xu Hang didn't want to guess what role He Xiyan played in his backstory, so he explained his purpose instead:

"I might say this out of friendship, but I can see her potential; her career is about to enter a period of growth."

Lu Tingxue, who was standing to the side, was speechless.

She never expected that Xu Hang could so easily and without batting an eye as to describe what the system announcement clearly stated as his own judgment.

He Xiyan listened to Xu Hang's assessment and seemed to be deep in thought:

"Mr. Xu's judgment of value is always several steps ahead, and I have never doubted your vision."

Later, He Xiyan saw Xu Hang off at the company, waving goodbye as she left:

See you tonight.

This overly intimate attitude made Xu Hang wonder.

However, considering that he was already married, he felt it was better to think less about it before divorcing Su Wanqing.

Outside Qingwu Media's company, Shen Yao drove up and stopped in front of Xu Hang.

"Supervisor, I'm sorry."

After getting on the bus, Xu Hang heard a very soft apology.

"This matter is over, and we... we're not that much older than each other, so I can't teach you much."

He wanted to say that he was younger than the other person, but then he remembered that his physical age was five years older than his mental age.

"Just remember one thing: never let yourself be led by others."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, supervisor. I will definitely have my own opinions from now on."

Xu Hang initially thought that Shen Yao was just expressing her feelings, but he soon discovered that Shen Yao was very good at applying what she learned.

Instead of returning to the company, the car drove to an old street and stopped in front of a restaurant.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Didn't you just teach me, supervisor, to have my own opinions?"

Shen Yao picked up her phone and waved it at Xu Hang:

"Get off the bus, this place is really good."
