Chapter 4: Each Displays Their Divine Powers

  "What if I lose?" Xiao Nan raised an eyebrow and asked.

  "If you lose, will you voluntarily submit a report and leave the planning department?"

  It was obvious that this was a trick used by Sunzi, Cheng Yao puffed out his cheeks and shook his head, even Wu Rui, who was sitting opposite him, kept making eyes at Xiao Xiang and stretched his legs under the table to kick his feet, meaning don't agree.

  Xiao Nan didn't care, what's the point of accepting another battle book anyway? He was already fed up with being in the planning department and wanted to try a new place. Sun Zigang's provocative method happened to satisfy his wish.

  "Alright, I sign." Xiao Nan picked up the pen and signed his name on the battle book that Sunzi had quickly printed out.

  With the document in hand, Sunzi put away the war book and exchanged a glance with Feng Qingwen, a faintly discernible sly smile playing on his lips as they walked out of the conference room one after the other.

  When everyone else had left, only Wu Rui, Cheng Yao and Xiao Nan were left in the conference room.

  "Lao Xiao, why bother with this! Clearly knowing it's Sunzi Gang and Feng Qingwen plotting against you, why sign that battle agreement? Can't you just endure it and let it pass?" Wu Rui felt regretful and helpless towards Xiao Nuo's actions earlier. Facts that have already been established are hard to change.

  "Wu Rui, I understand your intention. It's just that I particularly dislike Feng Qingwen's attitude. He even bullies women, is he a real man?"

  It's clear that Xiao Nan was speaking up for Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao walked over, gently placing her hands on Xiao Nan's shoulders and sighed: "No matter what, thank you for standing up for me, sis. But to kick you out of the planning department like this, I couldn't bear it. How about this? I'll go talk to Sun Zigang and get him to withdraw his resignation letter."

  "What's the reason?" Wu Rui asked with a skeptical tone, spreading his hands apart.

  "It's simple, contacting Yunqi is the responsibility of the public relations department, what does our marketing department have to do with it. Besides, handling things across departments is also overstepping authority, and going to the old boss is also a responsible thing to do, his grandson wouldn't not understand this point."

  "Cheng Jie, you're really tall, you're truly tall." Wu Rui gave a thumbs up and was about to follow Cheng Yao to find Sun Zigang.

  "Never mind!" Xiao Nan immediately stopped him: "A good man does things and a good man takes responsibility, I don't want to let Sunzi look down on me. What's spilled is spilled, what's said is said, this matter is settled."

  Xiao Nan returned to her own desk, fiddling with the carbon pen in her hand, deep in thought. The other book club members were reading the latest chapter of "Mechanical King". They didn't notice at all that Sunzi had just walked into their midst, followed by a girl.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, please stop what you're doing and I'd like to introduce a new colleague."

  Xiao Nan was lost in thought, when suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder. Wu Rui's eyes lit up as he leaned in and whispered: "Old Xiao, what are you spacing out about? There's a new person in our department, a really beautiful girl, take a look!" This guy is already 24, but still hasn't managed to find a decent girlfriend. It's not that he doesn't have good qualities himself, it's just that he's too picky. According to his logic, only a rich and beautiful woman would be his ultimate choice.

  Xiao Nan looked over and saw Sun Zigang introducing a girl: "This is Leng Xue, the new college student who has just joined our planning department. Everyone, please give her a warm welcome!" Under Sun Zigang's lead, the planning department erupted in scattered applause, with the men clapping enthusiastically while the women were mostly just politely going through the motions.

  What a wonderful encounter! Unexpectedly, they didn't leave any contact information, but heaven has its eyes open and arranged for them to become colleagues. Xiao Nan felt a little proud of himself.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, hello! I'm new here, and in the future, I hope you will continue to care for and guide me at work. Thank you everyone!" Leng Xue bowed slightly, and her elegant words once again brought forth a round of applause from the men, with Wu Rui clapping the loudest and most enthusiastically.

  Sunzi Gang introduced Leng Xue to his colleagues one by one, and when it was Wu Rui's turn, Sunzi Gang emphasized: "Xiao Wu is a person with strong business skills and a good work attitude. You should learn from him more in the future."

  "Wu Ge, take care." Leng Xue stretched out her hand generously, and Wu Rui grasped it tightly with both hands as if he had found a treasure. He politely replied, "Let's study together and make progress together." They held hands for half a day without letting go.

  It was Xiao Nan's turn, and Sunzi scratched his head and said faintly: "As for him..."

  "Xiao Nan, what a coincidence, we meet again." With great difficulty, she managed to extricate herself from Wu Rui's grasp, and Leng Xue took Xiao Nan's hand in hers. Unlike the symbolic smile earlier, it was more of a joyful surprise at their reunion.

  "What a coincidence, we meet again." Xiao Nan sent over a faint smile, lightly grasped his hand and quickly pulled back.

  "Now that you know each other, I won't say more." As soon as Sunzi finished speaking, he ordered Wu Rui: "Little Wu, take Leng Xue to get familiar with her." Wu Rui was overjoyed and his nose was about to burst with excitement.

  "How's it going? Xiao Xiao, has Yunqi's matter made any progress?" Sunzi's words were clearly not well-intentioned, but rather sarcastic and mocking.

  Xiao Nan looked at him and didn't say a word. Instead, he raised his second leg, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

  Sun just got bored, patted Xiao Nan's shoulder and turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something. He whispered in Xiao Nan's ear: "I've already discussed it with Deputy Manager Feng, according to the battle book regulations, isn't the deadline 15 days? Today doesn't count, consider it a free gift for you. Starting from tomorrow, tomorrow is the 12th, and the 27th will be the deadline. Don't forget."

  Damn it! Xiao Nan cursed in her heart, really wanting to kick the grandson's buttocks that had just twisted.

  "What is this guy farting about again?" Wu Rui arranged the cold snow and came over again, seeing that Sunzi had just twisted his butt a few times, guessing that he hadn't farted well.

  Xiao Nan shook her head and didn't say anything.

  "Lao Xiao, have you noticed that this girl Leng Xue is not ordinary, she must be extremely rich." Wu Rui's eyes lit up again, as if he had discovered a new continent.

  "How to say this?" Xiao Nan wondered, and looked again in the direction of Leng Xue's office desk. It just so happened that Leng Xue was also looking at him, and kindly waved at him with a cute and lovely smile.

  "Look at her, from head to toe, all branded, that handbag, that dress and those shoes, I reckon they're worth at least this much." Wu Rui held up three fingers.

  "Thirty thousand!" Xiao Nan strained to come up with a price that he could bear in his heart.

  "Underestimating people, 3 million, other book friends are reading: 'Rebirth of the Entertainment Circle Female Emperor!' Because he likes ba ling (white and rich) beauties, Wu Rui is also very particular about women's clothing brands. Authentic or fake luxury goods, he can identify at a glance, having honed his skills to be as sharp as fire and gold."

  "Who would have thought, Xiao Nan actually curled her lip and said: 'Cut it out! You're just trying to fool people, those are all street vendor goods! If she's really that rich, why is she still squeezing onto buses and subways? She should be driving a sports car and showing off all over the world.'"

  Anyway, whether you believe it or not, I do. Wu Rui didn't dare to agree with Xiao Nan's attitude, and sulkily returned to his own desk, thinking of ways to get close to Leng Xue.

  After thinking for an hour, Xiao Nan went to the break room to grab a cup of coffee. Cheng Yao hastily followed him in and saw that they were alone, then mysteriously asked: "Older brother, what do you think about Yun Qian's matter?"

  Xiao Nan lightly sipped her coffee and shook her head helplessly.

  "It's not easy for ordinary people like us to have a conversation with such a big shot." Cheng Yao stirred her coffee, deeply agreeing. However, she quickly lit up and said excitedly while sitting across from Xiao Nan: "I have an idea that might be helpful."

  "Tell me and I'll listen." Xiao Nan said lightly after taking a sip of coffee.

  "This is my treasure, originally prepared to meet Yun Qi, now it's given to you." Cheng Yao cleared his throat: "Listen carefully, my third aunt's cousin's daughter-in-law's sister's mother-in-law is the nanny of Yun Qi's family, just ask for her help, it's a matter of one sentence, I think it will be done."

  The great aunt's cousin's daughter-in-law's sister's mother-in-law, oh my! This is such a big detour, Xiao Nan's head is spinning, I really admire Cheng Yao for being able to remember such a long string of relationships.

  "How's that! Isn't this relationship solid enough?" Cheng Yao asked with satisfaction.

  "It's hard enough, even I'm getting hard just listening to it." Xiao Nan joked.

  "Get out." Cheng Yao made a boxing pose, stood up and said: "If you have no objection, I'll arrange for you to meet the sister of my third aunt's cousin-in-law's daughter tonight, and you can have a good talk."

  At lunchtime, Leng Xue carried a tray of food and wandered around the crowd until she saw Xiao Nan, then walked over with a smile and sat down beside him, saying: "Nan Ge, do you mind me sitting here?"

  "There's a beautiful woman accompanying me for dinner, of course I have no objection." Xiao Nan shrugged, with an indifferent expression.

  "Xiao Nan." Wu Rui, this big fly, sat down in front of Xiao Nan with a meal box. In fact, the passageway was next to Leng Xue, otherwise he would have had to sit next to Leng Xue.

  "What do you think about that matter?" Wu Rui asked Xiao Nan while eating, and also took a glance at Leng Xue who was eating with her head down.

  "It's getting somewhere. Cheng Jie introduced me to someone and we're meeting tonight." Xiao Nan replied calmly.

  "What's the point? Is it useful?"

  Xiao Nan held her chopsticks for half a day before saying, "It's Cheng Yao's third aunt's sister-in-law's daughter's sister-in-law. She works as an ayi at Yunqi's house and should be able to communicate effectively."

  "My goodness!" Not only did Wu Rui almost spit out his food, but even Leng Xue on the side couldn't hold back a burst of laughter. This attracted the attention of people dining nearby, who kept glancing over, prompting Xiao Nan to signal everyone to keep their voices down.

  "What's the relationship, it's not even related. Ah, I found a reliable connection, I've already made an appointment for you, 10 o'clock tonight, at the luxurious and grand hotel. This person is no ordinary person, he's a great master." Wu Rui said mysteriously: "Many celebrities have visited him, it's said that he knows the past and future, people like Wang Lianjie, Li Wei, Zhu Fei and Chen Yapei couple, even Hu Bingbing has a good relationship with him. Yunqi even recognizes him as his godfather. I had to ask my friend to persuade him, and he finally agreed. My friend is actually the master's proud disciple."

  "This master you're talking about, I also know him, he's quite impressive. I've heard that he can even fetch water from thin air and reconnect a broken snake! Even these famous people believe in him, so I'm sure it's true." Leng Xue blinked her big eyes with an expression of sincerity. Suddenly remembering something, she bit the spoon and asked doubtfully: "Nan Ge, what exactly happened? You didn't get into trouble, did you?"
