Chapter 236 - Explosive News
Compared to what Huo Xi Wen had heard from the Zhang Family, He Mei Xin was not feeling well either.
The game that Huo Jia Bao let her play was very complicated. After she registered her account, she practiced for a short while, but because his actions were too clumsy, he was always killed by the monsters. This made her feel extremely pressured, and he felt that he might not be able to play this game in his entire life.
However, Huo Jia Bao had given her a deadline and told her to learn how to forge equipment within half a month.
If she continued to play with this talent of hers, she might not even be able to play this game well, let alone half a month.
After playing for three hours, it was already 11 PM.
She had worked all day, and now she held the mouse in her hand and stared at the screen, wanting nothing more than sleep.
After she was killed by the monsters dozens of times, she finally reached Level 10 and left the Novice Village.
However, the first mission out of the Beginner Village stopped her.
This was a mission to gather honey. Although it seemed simple, if one"s luck was bad, the honey that one painstakingly harvested would suddenly be s.n.a.t.c.hed by a bear that came out of nowhere.
Of course, if you were truly skilled, you would naturally be able to defeat that bandit bear. However, a novice like He Mei Xin would only be able to obediently be robbed and killed if she met a bear.
On the third time he picked the honey, he was robbed by a bear and died under the bear"s paw. He Mei Xin was a little desperate at this game.
Lying on the ground for a long time, he was too lazy to revive himself. He thought that after reviving, he would still die here.
She emptied her thoughts as she stared at the screen in a daze. Suddenly, a white-clothed man flew over from beside her. A dialog box popped up on the man"s head. "Do you need any help?"
He Mei Xin looked at his savior who had fallen from the sky in a daze, and replied, "Are you talking to me?"
"Of course. Did you see anyone else here who needed help?"
He Mei Xin looked around. There really was no one else, those who completed missions easily killed the bear and left with Honey.
"Why are you helping me?" He Mei Xin asked.
"It"s hard to see someone leaving the first quest in the Beginner Village in this game. The idea is so unlucky that they could run into a bear three times in a row. Even if they die three times in a row, they won"t be able to beat it."
"Okay, so you were watching?" He Mei Xin was speechless, why was this person so free?
"Yes." The other did not deny it.
"..." "Then are you willing to help me?"
"Follow me." The other side immediately sent him a party message.
He Mei Xin felt that she had found a helper, and immediately accepted it happily.
After that, the other side brought her through all sorts of quests to clear dungeons. In one breath, she played until four in the morning. She had never died once before.
After completing all of her missions, she looked at the time and it was almost daybreak.
"No, I have to sleep for two hours. I have to work at 9 am. Thank you so much for wasting so much of your time playing games with me." By the time she typed the line in the dialog box, she was too sleepy to open her eyes.
"You"re welcome." The other party only replied with two simple words.
"Then can I ask you to play with me next time?" He Mei Xin asked again.
"Sure." The other party replied.
"Thank you, then I"ll be leaving first." Just as He Mei Xin said this, she realized that the other party"s name had already turned black.
She logged off before she did.
He Mei Xin got up from the computer and stretched lazily. She only felt her vision turn black, and her face was too lazy to wash. She directly fell on the bed and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already 7: 30 in the morning.
The alarm clock on her phone woke her up. Although she was tired, she still dragged her tired body out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Looking at her panda eyes in the mirror, she could only put on a few more layers of concealment cream, but other than the heavy makeup, she couldn"t perfectly cover those black circles.
Most importantly, the lack of sleep on her face as well as her dispirited expression could not be concealed by cosmetics.
After she changed her clothes, she went downstairs to buy breakfast. As she ate, she walked towards the subway station.
9 AM.
She went into the office on time, brushed her fingerprints, and made herself a strong cup of black coffee to refresh herself.
Today, the company had a high-level meeting, which was hosted by the General Manager, Huo Jia Bao. The CEO and the other higher-ups of the company would all be present.
He Mei Xin prepared the meeting information, seeing that it was almost time, she went to the general manager"s office, knocked on the door, and walked in: "Hutong, the meeting time is around, may I ask if you can go to the meeting room?"
At this time, Huo Jia Bao was buried in front of the table, as if he was looking at some doc.u.ment. Hearing He Mei Xin"s voice, he replied without looking up, "You can go now."
After he finished speaking, he looked up and saw He Mei Xin"s dark circles under her eyes, and casually asked, "What"s going on with your eyes? Did you catch a ghost last night? "
"I"m not capturing ghosts. I"m following your instructions and playing games." He Mei Xin said with a face full of resentment.
"Oh, did you play all night?"
"More or less." He Mei Xin replied weakly.
"Not bad, not bad at all. No wonder you looked ten years older in one night. "Women really can"t stay up late." Huo Jia Bao said as he shook his head.
"…" He Mei Xin really wanted to rush up and grab his tie and yell at him. She knew that women could not stay up late, yet you actually told me to play that stupid game, are you sick?
Of course, she only dared to think about it. If they fought back against the boss like this, even if she had a hundred guts, she wouldn"t be able to do it.
Huo Jia Bao stood up and walked out. At this time, Qian Jun had already reached the entrance of the office and was waiting for him.
The three of them walked towards the direction of the conference room, Huo Xi Wen was at the very back, holding onto a pile of doc.u.ments.
When she arrived at the meeting room, she sent the doc.u.ments in her hands over, then sat behind Huo Jia Bao and earnestly took note of the meeting records.
As the big BOSS of the company, Huo Xi Wen did not seem to be in a good mood today.
Halfway through the meeting, her phone suddenly rang, and immediately after, the screens of the other Executive s in the company also lit up.
When He Mei Xin was looking at her phone, her eyes also followed the screen and saw a screenshot of the news.
The t.i.tle was "Hauptmann"s"s Thousand Gold Carriage, Shocking Gate".
Such a terrifying t.i.tle shocked He Mei Xin, and she raised her head to look at Huo Xi Wen who was sitting diagonally opposite him. Seeing that she was also looking at her phone, she frowned, and her expression seemed to be filled with anger.
"Miss Huo, is this for real?" At this time, someone began to ask Huo Xi Wen for confirmation.
"Of course it"s not true. Zhang Jun Xian is drunk, sitting in my car, I sent him home, and helped him buckle his seat belt. I never thought that someone would secretly take pictures of him, and even use such an unsightly t.i.tle." After Huo Xi Wen finished speaking, she angrily turned to a.s.sistant Sun and said, "a.s.sistant Sun, contact the lawyers right now and have them send a letter to this website, ordering them to take this news away and apologize to me."
"Alright, I"ll do it right away." a.s.sistant Sun replied as he dialed a number on his phone and headed out of the meeting room.
Huo Jia Bao also didn"t have the mood to meet again at this time, so he directly waved his hand, "Let"s end today"s meeting here. Everyone, let"s disperse. After we go back, take care of your own people and don"t spread the news of the Miss Huo in the company, do you hear me? "
"Yes." Everyone answered, picked up their doc.u.ments, and left.
Huo Xi Wen sat on the chair, her expression solemn.
Huo Jia Bao waited until everyone had left before he flew into a rage at Huo Xi Wen, "What did I say? Zhang Jun Xian is not a simple guy, he wants to use you to make a ruckus. Do you believe me? He might have had someone take this picture. "
"Don"t talk nonsense, he was really drunk yesterday." Huo Xi Wen said with an impatient expression.
"Fine, since you"ve always been ignoring my words, I want to see how you"re going to deal with this matter." Huo Jia Bao knew that he would not listen to what he had to say, so he was too lazy to continue.
He Mei Xin walked to Huo Xi Wen"s side at this time and comforted her, "Xi Wen, it"s alright. Just wait for the a.s.sistant Sun to help you deal with it, we won"t believe it. "
"Mei Xin, don"t worry about me. I can still take such a small matter." Huo Xi Wen laughed.
"Alright, then I"ll be leaving first. Call me if you need anything." He Mei Xin said.
At this time, Huo Jia Bao, who had walked to the door, impatiently turned to look at He Mei Xin, "What are you still doing there? Did he want to be her secretary? If you don"t want to do it, then get out of here. "
"No, I"m coming." He Mei Xin immediately turned and followed along.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Huo Xi Wen picked up her phone and called Zhang Jun Xian.
The call connected and Zhang Jun Xian"s slightly hoa.r.s.e voice came out, "h.e.l.lo … "Xi Wen …"
"Are you still sleeping?" Huo Xi Wen was confused by his words, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"Yes, I drank too much last night. My head hurts." What"s the matter? Did you call me for something? " Zhang Jun Xian asked.
"Use your phone to check out today"s hot news, then call me back." After Huo Xi Wen finished speaking, she immediately hung up.
In her heart, she was also slightly suspicious whether or not Zhang Jun Xian had found someone to do this from behind the scenes.
But she didn"t quite understand his motive for doing so.
What good would it do him to mold her into a n.o.ble family"s daughter?
Or could it be that he wanted to use this matter to hype up the reputation of the Ming Yuan Group, just like last time?
If he really intended to use her reputation to achieve his goals, then no matter what they had agreed on previously, she wouldn"t dare to continue cooperating with him.
This man was willing to do anything to achieve his goals. If he didn"t have a bottom line, then he wouldn"t be qualified to be her partner.
Ming Zhu Group.
Fu Mu Yun came to the company rather late today, and after entering the office, Zhao Wei reported her work schedule for the day. After that, she stood in place with a slightly hesitant expression.
