Chapter 212: The Emperor

Actually these words were heard by Cheng Shuili when she was job hunting in her previous life, and using them on Chen Qing Shan now is not at all out of place.

To make the effect a bit better, Cheng Shuili added another sentence: "Guanghui, you don't need to worry; he meets our standards here."

Chen Qing Shan's message popped up almost immediately.

【Qing Shan Yuan Xing】: What? Where did I go wrong?!

Cheng Shuili's reply could be called ruthless: "We have no need to waste time on this issue."

Chen Qing Shan fell silent, the blue veins on his forehead pulsing nonstop; he already regretted contacting Wu Ya. It was his fault—he had long known how terrible Number One's temperament was, yet he still rushed to recommend himself!

But…

How can Guanghui just get it?

The message had already been sent out, Wu Ya had already replied; once the bow is drawn there's no turning back. Even for Guanghui, he now has no choice.

But… Wu Ya is Number One, right? Her treatment over there should be better than ours at the organization, shouldn't it?

Hope flared again in Chen Qing Shan's eyes; after a moment's thought, to give Wu Ya a good impression, he didn't even ask, just said: "I can accept!"

Cheng Shuili was overjoyed; she could probably understand the feelings of job seeker Chen Qing Shan, after all she had gone through the same thing in her previous life, but this was still her first time standing in the interviewee's shoes.

It felt rather novel.

Cheng Shuili was satisfied; she stopped chatting idly with this easily‑handled young man and focused her energy on dealing with Zhu Xuan, the difficult one.

【Zhu Xuan】: Game Coin is fine; the information… that stuff is top‑secret on our side, I can't decide on it.

Cheng Shuili stared at the preceding "no problem" and fell into thought.

She had literally doubled it, and this guy didn't even counter‑offer once.

Is it going to be less again?

Unfortunately, it's not a good time to raise the price now.

Since that's the case, Cheng Shuili must get her hands on the monster data they compiled.

Her stance was very firm; after all, there's a bakery, and she really can't be satisfied with a two‑thousand Game Coin monthly fee.

What she cared about more was the information compiled on the organization's side.

They have many people, so they've seen a lot; information known by one person isn't much, but when that knowledge from many people is combined, it becomes quite substantial.

Especially regarding monsters, Cheng Shuili has Abyssal Ring insight, which none of the people around her possess.

With this, survival rates can increase by more than half. Cheng Shuili clicked her tongue lightly, furrowed her brows, and typed a line of text.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: What we want is your top‑secret information; otherwise, never mind.

Zhu Xuan leaned against the seat back, closed his eyes then opened them again; the other party was literally a freeloader.

Zhu Xuan stared at the information for a while, and actually didn't know what to reply. Agree to her? If he agrees, how does he explain it to those old‑fashioned relics in the organization? Not agree? Judging by her tone, refusing would ruin the deal.

And Cheng Ershui is Number One!

Number One!

Zhu Xuan thought he had nothing that would impress her, but upon further thought, the internally compiled data from their organization turned out to be the most useful.

Even if it doesn't help Cheng Ershui, the Number One, later when Cheng Ershui builds any faction, this will still be useful.

Zhu Xuan fell silent for a moment, then involuntarily felt admiration; Cheng Ershui is truly shrewd.

All today's trouble was for Chen Qing Shan.

Everyone knows Chen Qing Shan doesn't like Zhu Xuan, but actually, Zhu Xuan doesn't like Chen Qing Shan either. If it weren't for his father's connection, Zhu Xuan would never bother with him.

Zhu Xuan closed his eyes to think for a while, then twitched the corner of his mouth into a smile; the teacher's fate was unknown and unreachable, yet he still had to find a way out for that only child of their family.

Consider it repayment for the debt he owes the teacher.

【Zhu Xuan】: Fine, give me some time.

Isn't time a cost?

Cheng Shuili flatly declined.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Dragging it out later loses its flavor; do it within today, otherwise… never mind.

Zhu Xuan truly fell silent, not even replying to Wu Ya's message.

Cheng Shuili wasn't in a hurry; Zhu Xuan's agreement counted as a gain for her, and his refusal wouldn't hurt her either—actually it made no difference, just a garnish.

That side is concluded.

Cheng Shuili glanced at the regional channel, saw no new info, and then received a message from Xinxue.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Lao Da… my avatar is already shattered. How do these people all know you're behind me? That Ge Wudi too, after just a couple of sentences, asked me if Wu Ya sent me.

Cheng Shuili smiled and shook her head; this is probably quite normal.

Whether it was the previous 1000‑point zone or the current 666‑point zone, apart from Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, who else has the strength to be the one behind the scenes?

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: What do you mean?

【Xin Xue Chuji】: I haven't replied yet.

That's fine.

Cheng Shuili sighed and said, "Then don't reply; he's not a good person, keep your distance. I'll have Liang Shanbo ask about it later."

【Xin Xue Chuji】:??? What, who should go? Lao Da, you didn't say it wrong, right?

Why the surprise?

Cheng Shuili just furrowed her brows, then relaxed them again.

You can't blame Xinxue for this reaction; Liang Shanbo really is… uh, how to describe him?

Any description would be somewhat impolite.

Cheng Shuili shook her head, brushed away the impolite thought, tossed out a casual reply, and went to find Liang Shanbo.

Liang Shanbo had heard of Ge Wudi's deeds; hearing Cheng Shuili mention it now, he instantly grasped the gravity of the situation.

She patted her chest: "Lao Da, rest assured! I'll definitely get it done!"

Cheng Shuili nodded, she felt reassured; Liang Shanbo would occasionally give her unexpected surprises, and this time was likely no exception.

This matter has been arranged.

Cheng Shuili stood up, just stretched, and then received another message.

The current message reminds that 001 has already processed all such messages; if it weren't necessary, it wouldn't prompt.

But Cheng Shuili still had some doubts: did she really need to be this busy now? Why does one message come after another?

There's a bit, somewhat like the feeling of an emperor handling memorials.

But what good is this Chief Eunuch 001! Everything requires Cheng Shuili to handle personally; what's it for then?

Cheng Shuili isn't an unreasonable leader; she opened the message to look, and found that this time it really wasn't 001's problem—this matter indeed needed her to handle it herself.

【Yun de Su Di】: Boss, do you still need plant seedlings?

The next message was a reply sent on her behalf by 001.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: May I ask what kind of plant seedling?

Cheng Shuili: "……"

The wording of this message is clearly not her own.

This is too polite, isn't it?

【Yun de Su Di】: It depends on what you need, Boss… we're not exaggerating when we say our seedlings could fill an entire garden.
