Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The news of Wen Xinya parachuting into the advertising and marketing department of the Wen Corporation began spreading around the office. Everyone was shocked by the news. After all, Wen Xinya was in the midst of preparing for her final year examinations and she ought to be focusing her time on revising.
They heard that it was a decision made by Old Mr. Wen and they wondered, What is Chairman Wen thinking?
Could he really be thinking of letting Miss Wen come to the office and work as an intern?
However, everyone felt that only professionals should be allowed to take part in advertising. They could not help but wonder if Wen Xinya could really perform well by leading the team alone.
The majority of the people were waiting to see a good show! After all, everyone had been paying attention to her ever since she returned to the Wen Family home and they knew that she had gained the recognition of Old Mr. Mo and Old Mr. Wen. However, she was still very young and no one thought that she could come up with anything productive in the advertising and marketing department. Everyone felt that she was just there to experience life.
The employees in the advertising and marketing department understood the situation in Team No. 5 very well and were doubtful of their competency and abilities. They felt that no extraordinary achievements would be possible with those incompetent team members, regardless of how capable Wen Xinya may be.
Everyone was gloating!
They were waiting to see Team No. 5 make a fool out of themselves and to see Wen Xinya leave the marketing department in embarra.s.sment.
However, none of their opinions mattered to Wen Xinya. Since she had already decided to take part in the advertising matters for Ai Shang Group, she actively partic.i.p.ated in the management. With her subordinates around to help her, she did not have to do everything herself. w.a.n.g Siying was rather competent as well. Hence, there were no major problems.
Bang! Bang!
Wen Xinya was dressed in a colorful costume as she walked out of the changing room slowly before standing behind Si Yiyan, admiring his suaveness.
After firing a round of bullets, Si Yiyan put his gun away with finesse, appearing extremely das.h.i.+ng.
Wen Xinya immediately smiled and said, “Si Yiyan, have I ever told you how cool and suave you look when you’re shooting?”
He was incredibly suave and every movement of his was full of vigor. It was as if he was standing on top of the world with everyone else beneath him whenever he held a gun. How charming.
Si Yiyan removed his gloves and answered, “No, you haven’t!”
However, her actions had already done the talking. Hence, he had been practicing shooting more often recently, especially when she was around.
Wen Xinya pouted and asked, “When can I be as skilled as you?”
Si Yiyan wanted to teach her how to shoot, and she had also been extremely pa.s.sionate and enthusiastic about it. Hence, she frequented Lishan Mansion and Si Yiyan even said sourly that his charm could not compare to that of the gun.
However, she had already done her due revision for the past few days. Although her bullets would land on the targets, the results were not ideal.
Nonetheless, Si Yiyan said that she was talented in marksmans.h.i.+p and hence, she would definitely master it well.
Si Yiyan rubbed her hair gently and chuckled. “You’ll get better with more practice.”
That’s the only way, I suppose! Wen Xinya thought to herself.
Si Yiyan handed her his gun and said, “I went to get this gun modified and the safety and accuracy levels have been increased. The recoil will be less impactful as well, though it has lesser torque and power. I think it suits you better.”
The previous gun that she used was comparable to the Desert Eagle, and the recoil was too strong for Wen Xinya, though it was much less than usual guns. Her arm had even turned numb because of it. After giving it some thought, he felt that he had made a slight mistake. He merely wanted Wen Xinya to learn how to shoot for self-defense. After all, her world was not as complicated as his and she didn’t need such a powerful gun.
Although the modified gun was not as powerful as before, it was more than enough for self-defense purposes.
Wen Xinya grabbed the gun that was now lighter than before. “I think it suits me better now.”
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “From now on, it’ll belong to you. Give her a name!”
Although they lived dangerous lives full of bloodshed, it did not affect their disposition in life. In fact, they treasured life so much more than average people. Hence, they would bring guns around with them at all times. It was mandatory for them to name their guns.
Wen Xinya grabbed the gun and gazed at it in utmost awe. “Let’s call it Athena!”
Athena was one of the twelve Greek G.o.ds and was known as the G.o.ddess of War, the upholder of justice. At the same time, she also symbolized peace and wisdom, thus making her known as a guardian.
Si Yiyan smiled and remarked, “Nice name.”
G.o.d created humans to be unique individuals. Since he could not stay by her side all the time, he shall let Athena guard over her in the form of a gun. He shall let Athena replace him.
Wen Xinya stroked the gun and said softly, “Athena, Athena, you’re going to be my buddy from now on. I hope we’ll enjoy good cooperation.”
Wen Xinya then turned around and aimed her gun at the target before firing!
Bang!
Wen Xinya stood rooted to the ground with the gun in hand, appearing extremely menacing and stern. It was as if the gun smoke was the aura surrounding her. Si Yiyan was reminded of a description of Athena in a Greek mythology story. Athena was described to be a beautiful and gorgeous G.o.ddess who had descended from the sky. She looked graceful and beautiful. It was said that she possessed as much power as Zeus. If combined with the power of Aegis, she would be far stronger than Olympus. She was the most intelligent G.o.ddess and the perfect embodiment of wisdom and power.
At this moment, Wen Xinya was Si Yiyan’s G.o.ddess.
Wen Xinya said, “I actually hit the 9.5 circle!”
Throughout the past few days, the highest score she had achieved was 7.9. But this time, she had broken her record. She tugged onto Si Yiyan’s arm like a happy child.
She turned red in excitement and looked extremely beautiful. As if she had put on some blusher on her cheeks.
Although it was mostly just a coincidence, he was still generous with his compliments.
Wen Xinya stared at the gun in her hand and said, “Athena, you’re my best buddy.”
Si Yiyan stared at the gun with a sulk on his face. He suddenly felt a little upset. It was as if he was not as charming as the gun.
Wen Xinya stared at Si Yiyan curiously and asked, “Si Yiyan, don’t you also have a weapon with you? What is it called?”
Si Yiyan whipped out a silver gun that was graceful and sleek. It had a longer diameter and it gave off a resplendent, menacing and threatening vibe…
Wen Xinya could not take her eyes off it.
Si Yiyan asked, “Its name is Killer. I rarely use it.”
Whenever he used “Killer”, there was bound to be bloodshed.
He would only use it during life-and-death situations.
Wen Xinya remarked, “What a lethal and splendid gun.”
Wen Xinya seemed to have seen the menacing and ferocious side of Si Yiyan through the gun. It was a side of him that she never saw before!
