As the special meeting concluded, the atmosphere grew heavy among the group.
Xu Que held these people in high regard, for they would become bound by the same fate.
As Xu Que approached the door to Shen Mengchu's office, Liang Jinyu emerged with a smile.
"Ah, the busy man, the water pipe is still leaking. When will you get it checked?"
Xu Que froze, taken aback by Liang Jinyu's sudden remark.
"Uh, I'll take care of it after I'm done with this," Xu Que replied, awkwardly rubbing his nose.
"Alright, I'll be on the 52nd floor."
Watching Liang Jinyu walk away with a confident stride, Xu Que shook his head in disbelief. Did she not fear being discovered by Shen Mengchu?
As Xu Que pondered over this, Shen Mengchu's voice suddenly rang out.
"The water pipe is leaking? Have all the task reallocations been completed?"
Hearing Shen Mengchu's two questions, Xu Que answered with a guilty "Mm," then said, "Someone just went to fix it. It's probably been neglected for years."
Shen Mengchu nodded in confusion, then pulled out the revised documents, saying, "Jinyu is such a good person. Look at the company strategies she helped us draft."
Seeing Shen Mengchu's joyful expression, Xu Que couldn't help but wonder in amazement…
"Goodness, the thief is already in your home, and you're still thanking her!"
But upon further thought, Xu Que felt guilty toward Shen Mengchu. After all, this woman trusted him unconditionally and helped him with all her heart.
"Sigh, how did I even survive the past ten years in my previous life..."
"What's wrong?" Shen Mengchu asked.
"Ah, nothing. I was just surprised by how impressive the strategy is," Xu Que quickly said.
"Yes, with Jinyu's help, we won't need to revise the plan for the next ten years," Shen Mengchu laughed.
"..."
Xu Que was speechless.
Internally, he scoffed, "Yeah, that's the template of the honor company from my past life. How could she not be impressive!"
"Just a few more hours, and a new batch of fissures will open. Where do you plan to go?" Shen Mengchu asked with concern.
"North," Xu Que replied.
"You're heading to Shangjing?"
"No, to the Northeast!"
Upon hearing Xu Que's answer, Shen Mengchu immediately took out two documents from the corner of her desk.
"Take a look."
Xu Que took the documents, and as he read about the situation in the Northeast, he was shocked.
"When was this delivered?"
"This morning. My father gave it to me," Shen Mengchu said.
Xu Que set the documents down. He never imagined the crazies in Shangjing were truly courting disaster!
No wonder the Northeast almost became a haven for otherworldly beings in his past life. It was all part of their plans.
"Should I call the military?" Shen Mengchu asked, noticing the cold expression on Xu Que's face.
"No need," Xu Que replied. "Even if they intervene, those people won't back down."
"Then are you still heading North?"
"Yes," Xu Que said seriously. "But before that, I need to go elsewhere."
"Alright, but be careful. If you encounter any danger, make sure to withdraw immediately," Shen Mengchu urged.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Xu Que reassured her. He then initiated a trade with Shen Mengchu. "You can use these for now, and continue to expand the recruitment for newcomers."
Shen Mengchu nodded, understanding Xu Que's intention.
After chatting with her for more than ten minutes, Xu Que used the excuse of having more business to attend to and left her office.
On the 52nd Floor
When Xu Que entered Liang Jinyu's office, he was completely stunned…
Good heavens, a red evening gown showcased her seductive figure, her hips swaying with an irresistible allure. Every man in the room couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
No wonder in his past life, Duan Jiude was willing to die in the embrace of such a woman...
"The repairman is here..."
Liang Jinyu flashed a bewitching smile and beckoned Xu Que with a finger.
Damn, this flirt needs to be put in her place!
"I've come to inspect the leakage!"
Xu Que pulled Liang Jinyu into his arms.
Her figure... Truly full and round, with remarkable elasticity.
Xu Que couldn't hold back any longer. As for Shen Mengchu, he would make it up to her later!
With a fiery passion igniting, the two quickly found themselves in the inner office.
...
In the evening, after taking a shower, Xu Que swiftly left the 52nd floor on his flying sword.
At this moment, Xu Que felt like the past ten years of his previous life had been a complete waste.
Not only had he been played by Liu Ruyan like a fool, but he had also been deceived by her substitute...
Originally, he thought their relationship would naturally progress, but later he discovered that it was someone else who had the story with him!
At first, Xu Que didn't understand why there was no light allowed, no kissing, and even holding hands in the daytime was forbidden... until one day, Liu Boda inadvertently let it slip—her substitute had been consumed by an otherworldly creature...
Reflecting on the unpleasant events of his past life, Xu Que couldn't help but compare them to Liang Jinyu's passionate and active demeanor—skilled, experienced, and unrestrained.
He almost wanted to resurrect Ji Boda and Liu Ruyan, just to torment them to death!
"80%... Ha, not bad at all!"
Xu Que laughed heartily. He now realized that there were endless ways to indulge in such affairs!
Just as his mood was soaring, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Han Xiaoyu calling, Xu Que's good mood instantly evaporated.
"Hello, if you have something to say, just spit it out!" Xu Que answered gruffly.
"Are you short of women?" Han Xiaoyu asked.
Huh?
Xu Que immediately stopped flying in midair, briefly imagining Han Xiaoyu's appearance, then shook his head.
"No, not at all. What's up?" Xu Que rejected the question outright.
Although he understood what Han Xiaoyu meant, he really didn't like that little green tea type.
"Then never mind. If I die in the future, could you help collect my body?" Han Xiaoyu said before hanging up the phone.
"What's going on?"
Xu Que was left bewildered. Hadn't he just rejected her? Was it really necessary to talk about life and death?
"Should I have Liang Jinyu ask about it?"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Que decisively dialed Liang Jinyu's number.
"What? Haven't you had enough repairs?"
Liang Jinyu's tone immediately threw Xu Que off balance...
"No, it's fixed, but I didn't have enough time to do a thorough job. I'll check it properly when I return."
Xu Que wasn't one to take such losses. Even if he couldn't catch up, at least it was better than standing still.
"Alright, enough of that. What's the real matter?"
Liang Jinyu naturally knew Xu Que's impatience, so she stopped teasing him.
Once Xu Que shared what Han Xiaoyu had said, Liang Jinyu fell silent.
Xu Que asked, "What does that girl mean by this?"
"She's not stupid, just a bit too subtle," Liang Jinyu replied. "Don't you want to take her on as your little fourth?"
"Sister, I might be hungry, but I wouldn't go that far... And you know what I'm like," Xu Que quickly denied.
"Then do you want to save her?" Liang Jinyu asked.
"Could she really be serious about wanting to die?" Xu Que asked, confused.
Liang Jinyu didn't elaborate on the news she knew but simply said, "Perhaps, but considering the situation at her company, she might really do it."
Xu Que thought for a moment. While he didn't exactly like her, he didn't mind treating her like a regular employee either.
Hearing Xu Que's hesitation, Liang Jinyu asked, "Do you need help?"
"Alright, if she can be saved, then save her. After all, she's just a B-grade rookie, and your company needs people," Xu Que said.
"You, once that tea grows up, I'm afraid it'll be fed to the dogs!" Liang Jinyu said, pretending to be jealous.
"You don't have to worry about that. Even if she grows up, I won't pick her. You know my character," Xu Que quickly reassured her.
"Alright, then let's leave it at that."
After Liang Jinyu hung up, Xu Que fell deep into thought.
"Could it be that I really have a problem after being reborn?"
