Chapter 519: Joining Lenovo (2/2)
He Yi replied with a smiling emoji before she sent another message: ”I’m not going to turn in yet. Mingyue and I already decided that we wouldn’t sleep until we entered the Top 10. You and Beiming should go to sleep first.”
I was rather bemused by that response and I quickly sent her a reply: ”Mmm, then keep working hard and sleep as soon as you can! Don’t forget that we’re going to meet Lenovo’s representative tomorrow morning!”
”I knoooow!”
After that, I paid a visit to Dark Moon City and queued a new batch of Dark Insects before I went offline. Beiming Xue had already taken a bath and gone to sleep a long time ago. By the time I returned from the bathroom, I could barely even open my eyes and I fell completely unconscious the moment my head hit the pillow. I wouldn’t wake up even if the sky came crashing down.
……
I was woken up by the pitter-pattering of footsteps and the sound of the girls’ voices echoing from the living room.
”I heard that Lenovo’s head of planning is a real beauty. Ah, what should I wear today? I can’t let that person completely outshine me…” This was Murong Mingyue’s voice.
Beiming Xue replied, ”Heehee. Then you shouldn’t wear anything at all, Sister Mingyue! She definitely won’t be able to beat you that way!”
”You cheeky little brat! Looks like you’re bold enough to tease me now. I see that your wings are getting harder and harder. Shoo, go wake up that big bro of yours! Tell him that if he doesn’t wake up, I’m gonna take pictures of him and post them online…”
I leapt off my bed the moment I heard those words. By the time Beiming Xue came to knock on my door, I had already thrown on some clothes and I opened it to greet her.
This was a big day for the Frost Cloud workshop, so all of the girls were dressed to the nines. I quickly went to wash my face and brush my teeth. We were running out of time.
The four of us rushed down to the carpark and we left in my X12. The reason why we chose the X12 was because we wanted to keep a low profile. He Yi’s car was way too flashy!
I gunned the engine as the X12 flew toward the agreed-upon cafe. After a few minutes of reckless driving, the car finally slowed to a stop in front of the shop. As we left the car, He Yi said, ”She’s already arrived. She’s waiting for us on the second floor.”
”Oh!”
The girls ran up the staircase, their high heels clattering against the steps. I was following behind them, so I saw their skirts flutter in the air and caught dazzling glimpses of their snowy thighs. This really was a rare sight to enjoy. What was even rarer was that none of the girls had bothered to guard their modesty against me. In fact, Beiming Xue even turned around and giggled before she asked, ”Big bro, are you enjoying the view?”
Even I had to blush at those words. ”What are you saying, I’m not that kinda guy…”
Beiming Xue stuck out a small tongue and said, ”As if I’d believe you!”
After we climbed up the stairs, we saw a charming and elegant woman sitting in the far corner of the cafe. She was dressed in clothes that resembled a uniform and she looked around thirty-five. She was quite pretty and she had the look of a successful career woman. In fact, she carried herself in a manner that was quite similar to He Yi, it was just that she lacked He Yi’s aura of youth.
When she saw us walk up the stairs, she immediately stood up and greeted us with a refreshing smile. ”Oh, if I’m not mistaken, you are He Yi, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls guild leader ‘From Water’.”
She turned to look at me and said, ”And you must be Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand. The adorable girl beside you is Beiming Xue, am I correct? So the beautiful lady here must be Murong Mingyue, right?”
She addressed each of us by name even though this was our first time meeting her. She really was an impressive woman. She had definitely done her research before coming to meet us. This much had been obvious since she had obtained He Yi’s number. Heh, she must have gotten it from China Mobile.
”Hi everyone, my name is Zhu Hong, and I am the director of Lenovo’s Planning Department. I’m truly honored to have the privilege of cooperating with some of the most influential players in Heavenblessed!”
Zhu Hong gamely shook our hands as she smiled and said, ”Please, take a seat! Make yourselves at home!”
We did exactly that as we loosely seated ourselves around the table.
……
After He Yi ordered some drinks, she said in a frank manner, ”Director Zhu, let’s get straight to the point. What is Lenovo’s vision for their new gaming club?”
Zhu Hong smiled as she nodded her head. ”You truly do live up to your reputation as GGS Asia Region’s vice president. Your chutzpah is something that no ordinary person can have. Since Sister He Yi requested for it, I will speak plainly from now on.”
After she said that, Zhu Hong opened up a folder and said, ”Lenovo has many gaming clubs under its banner and I am in charge of all the activities for its gaming clubs in China, and the four of you are my first picks for this new club that we’re setting up! I’m sure that all of you have heard that the other electronics giants are marching into Heavenblessed, and Lenovo is no different. We want to develop a brand of exceeding excellence and establish a sovereign-level team in Heavenblessed too!”
I nodded and said, ”About that… Let’s talk about salary first…”
Zhu Hong couldn’t help but laugh. ”Haha, I see that the Little Heavenly King has grown impatient…”
”Of course. I mean, I haven’t even eaten breakfast yet…”
”Then should we eat as we talk?”
