Chapter 1136: NO．41：Autumn Splendor Begins (Part 1)

NO．41：Autumn Splendor Begins (Part 1)

To be honest, Aomo isn't particularly enthusiastic about improving the workplace atmosphere.

After all, since his first day at Teleisen, he hasn't had much expectation for this position.

Even the responsibility wasn't something he sought out; it was Ailisuzhi who shoved it onto him.

Although he is undoubtedly a fan of horse girls, and being a trainer is an identity most horse‑girl fans have fantasized about, he clearly knows one thing: daydreams cannot change reality.

Changing reality requires one's own hands, and what he lacks most right now is time.

Without time to settle, he isn't even qualified to talk about seniority.

Without time for opportunity, he can't talk about achievements.

All misunderstandings and prejudices stem from this; as for pure malice…

That naturally doesn't matter regarding those two points.

But if he had those two points, he might possess the scales and claws to directly oppose malice, rather than merely feeling the difficulty and helplessness of fighting alone away from home.

And before he has those two points, all efforts to improve the situation appear so inefficient.

Even if there were any results, they would still be a drop in the bucket.

So Aomo never even considered making any excuse, and he was too lazy to follow the Jidong custom of workplace etiquette by kowtowing to other colleagues.

He was even perfectly satisfied with the arrangement of using an abandoned classroom as an activity room, to the point that after the college's newly added activity room was renovated, he likewise declined Miss Junchuan's kind offer to regularize his treatment.

That's fine just as it is.

His job position lies low-key in the city, greatly reducing the chance of contact with other colleagues, and also sparing him the conflicts that someone like him—a 'half‑monk amateur'—would normally invite.

Although Central Trainers are mostly self‑proclaimed elites who disdain going out of their way to step on people's faces, human hearts are hard to fathom.

Who knows, maybe one day he's already in a bad mood, then upon opening the forum and seeing the related hot searches about Trainer Lindun, he'd rush over to execute some 'justice'…

Initially, Potian Lingxiang also frequently hinted, both openly and subtly, that he should devote more attention to Ailisuzhi.

It's not hard to understand; from her standpoint and perspective, the action itself is undoubtedly twelvefold care from a senior to a junior.

Besides that, there's also the consideration of not wanting to see a newcomer trainer waste the talent of horse girls.

Precisely because he could understand, Aomo didn't get angry at the time.

Of course, he also didn't act on it.

He simply pretended not to notice those hints, overt or covert; when Potian Lingxiang trainer later had the leisure to pay attention here, she was able, from a professional standpoint, to conclude that his time had not been wasted, and thus came over to apologize, somewhat embarrassedly.

Potian Lingxiang is a senior with a strong‑willed personality, quite earnest and rigid in her conduct.

That is both her flaw and her strength.

Few people can, after realizing their mistake, straightforwardly face it and still insist on apologizing when the other party obviously doesn't care.

Precisely for that reason, Aomo doesn't expect his other colleagues to display the same quality.

So, to avoid making the future atmosphere overly stiff, he simply abandoned his previous idea.

——Back when his reputation wasn't yet like this, he would still greet every colleague he met on campus, and those who mostly didn't know him would likewise greet him with smiles.

That approach was basically fine back then, but as smiling colleagues grew fewer, he also had no intention of persisting like a check‑in achievement.

Just as said before, without the most crucial time, all attempts to improve the situation appear so inefficient, and even if there were any results they'd still be a drop in the bucket.

But Xiqí Feng is willing to do such inefficient things.

Without a doubt, he truly is capable.

Since long ago, Xiqí Feng has been portrayed in media reports, variety interviews, and colleague evaluations as the core veteran of the trainer group.

Even the occasional team‑building activities of the Central Trainers are often initiated by him, and more often arranged by him.

Besides that, his female subordinates have quite impressive records, and they exemplify the ideal trainer concept in terms of connections and experience reserves; together with the stunning Dazhenhan that resembles the ideal horse‑girl concept under his command, they make a pleasing pair.

The two of them also qualify as a common example of how trainer‑horse‑girl compatibility lies in similar doctrines.

By contrast, the pairing of Potian Lingxiang and Chengtian Bairen is seen as an example of trainer‑horse‑girl compatibility lying in complementarity—then, as Chengtian Bairen's situation declines westward, it gradually fades.

It's worth mentioning that Aomo is not an absolute supporter of either side.

He, who has always believed in seeking truth from facts, would judge both sides according to the actual situation; but upon receiving Xiqí Feng's invitation, he couldn't help but feel a subtle doubt.

Perhaps Xiqí is increasingly leaning into the prince image he portrays.

It has nothing to do with reality; rather, it is the prince image that exists only in fairy tales for the residents of East Asia.

Not a prince of a king, he forever represents the morning sun, bears hope, embodies the most playful part of fairy tales, and stands against the harshest reality.

He doesn't think Xiqí is a fool blind to reality; on the contrary, his current achievements and the emotional intelligence he shows in private make him look like a villain capable of being a late‑game boss in a fantasy work.

——That kind of seemingly sunny, good senior on the surface, who would stab you in the back when you turn around, revealing the true nature of a villainous executive or even a deputy.

Boss? Not BOSS—the true arch‑villain must be something else.

Of course, this is just a feeling.

Or rather, an illusion.

Xiqí Feng's seemingly reality‑defying invitation isn't meant to perfect bullying; he is indeed the sorely lacking righteous‑path hero of these days, intending to slash at the very malice of reality.

This is rather inconsistent with his usual laid‑back, smiling demeanor, which is why Aomo developed that subtle doubt.

Indeed, wearing a mask for too long that grows into the flesh is certainly not a good thing.

But if, instead, he releases a truer self while playing the role, endangering no one and hindering no society, and is in fact even better than before, then there's really nothing to complain about.

Although such developments often come with a childhood playmate who refuses to accept it, trying to call back the original self, shouting something like 'xx is xx' in a subtle version, it's obvious that playmate would never be Aomo.

Aomo is merely a new junior who has known Xiqí Feng for less than half a year, and hasn't had time to condense anything…… Fight again, rare‑world powerhouse! The Xiqí Feng in my heart!

Aomo tentatively isn't sure which side he's on, nor can he say whether this performance is good or bad.

As a new friend, all he can do is observe.

However, this goodwill need not be refused.

Qian said she had some girlfriend meet‑up this afternoon and didn't need her boyfriend's company; Qieliena also said that lately, because she often eats and stays over at his place, Leimiao Le's side has been complaining a lot, and Lapulande has been growing increasingly sarcastic, needing her to go back and properly deal with it.

This is only natural human sentiment; Aomo, who had no reason to refuse, thus found himself with a rare leisure.

Although it's easy to slip into the happiness of a middle-aged office worker—just sleep in on days off.

But when I saw that the other party's invitation message directly contained an electronic ticket, the purity of this horse girl fan easily triumphed over the urge to sleep.

As for Xizaki Feng's obvious intention to ease the workplace atmosphere for himself…

Let him strive for it, Aomo thought.

No matter how impulsive this Prince Elder Brother is, after making up his mind, when reality hits, he should still accept it.

Anyway, once the race officially starts, even if he wanted to intervene, no one would pay attention.

The essence of a horse girl race is just a few minutes, and during those few minutes, no one would ever be willing to be distracted.

Even if it's still just the entry demonstration segment, it's enough to capture everyone's attention.
