Chapter 211

She wouldn't think that using "God's Blessing" would overcome the negative effects of the Demon Sword, would she?

......

Pei Group.

"Mr. Pei, Hong Kong has rejected this financing proposal again." Assistant Zhang carefully placed the documents in his hand on the desk in the president's office.

On the black swivel chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a tall, slender man slightly raised his eyes, but his expression remained hidden in the night.

"Has the news from Fairnd been confirmed?" Pei Yuqing picked up a teacup, the expensive Baroque carved porcelain cup filled with dark medicinal soup.

He took a bite, and his ink-painting-like eyebrows and eyes immediately looked a little tired.

"Mr. Pei, it's confirmed." Assistant Zhang immediately replied to his boss.

"Future Technology Company has confirmed that the Fairnd competition will be held in Suzhou City, and the bidding meeting for contractors is expected to be held at the end of this month."

Fairnd has been gaining popularity in recent years. If this competition could be held in Suzhou, it would surely greatly promote the development of various industries in Suzhou.

Pei Yuqing, of course, was not willing to let this opportunity slip by.

The angel investment team in Hong Kong has rejected Pei's project proposals twice.

If we can't come up with a decent solution...

Thinking of this, Pei Yuqing suddenly felt quite annoyed. He tilted his head back and drank the medicine in the porcelain cup in one gulp, almost making his brows ache from the bitterness.

Seeing this, Assistant Zhang immediately took a candy from the jade box on his desk and walked to his boss's side.

Pei Yuqing bit into the candy, which diluted the bitter taste between her teeth.

"Tell Li Wen and the others that they must come up with a bidding proposal by the end of the month," Pei Yuqing continued, "and while you're at it, also try to win over the people at Future Company."

"Tell them of the Pei family's sincerity."

"I'll make the arrangements right away." Assistant Zhang nodded and was about to leave when he heard Pei Yuqing call him again.

"How's things going with Zhou Yu?"

"Found it."

"After checking the surveillance footage, Mr. Zhou found that Professor Liu from X University held an academic conference at the Golden Crane Tower that day. The girl who was trapped in the elevator with President Pei was Professor Liu's student."

"student?"

“Yes, her name is…” Assistant Zhang took out the papers from his pocket and handed them to Pei Yuqing.

Pei Yuqing's gaze lingered on a few lines of text, and without realizing it, he uttered a name that sounded like a soft murmur from Jiangnan:

"You... Yingning?"

......

"Little Youyou, holy crap, you're really fierce!" Qingtian seized the opportunity to hide in a safe position, and seeing Yingning rushing to the front line, he immediately shouted:

"You're... really fierce!"

From now on, I'll call you brother!

Ying Ning dodged the collapsing rocks on one side and rushed up from behind the Evil Spirit King. The shadow of the Demon Sword, along with her skill summoning, landed on the Evil Spirit King almost simultaneously.

"Roar! Ro ...

The Evil Spirit King lashed out with its tail, intending to kill the attacker, but Ying Ning narrowly dodged it.

"Are you crazy?!" Yuan Ye rushed over from the other side and, before the Evil Spirit King could react, delivered another blow before turning to Ying Ning and speaking.

"Do you really think you can kill the Evil Spirit King by chance right now?"

"Why not?" the latter asked casually.

Looking at Ying Ning's fearless and headlong charge forward, Yuan Ye seemed to have thought of something and spoke with a hint of anger:

"This is too risky. We should rearrange our tactics, or we'll lose this round!"

But then he heard the words of the person in front of him, words that seemed to strike at his most vulnerable spot: "As the core of the team, you shouldn't be thinking about how to avoid failure."

Yuan Ye was taken aback by what he heard, and then heard Ying Ning continue speaking softly:

"It's about how to lead your team to victory."

What happened after that left a deep impression on Yuan Ye for decades to come.

So much so that whenever he thinks of that fateful summer, he realizes that the person from back then had seen right through him all along.

Yuan Ye clearly heard Ying Ning's words:

"With your constant hesitation and indecisiveness, do you really have one more chance to win?"

It's funny to think about.

His fate was too limited, and he had too many concerns.

He cherished every opportunity that came his way, holding it like a precious jewel, not daring to let it get even a speck of dust.

Even his affections had to be kept hidden from the gaze of others.

Is this who he is?

like...

It's impossible to win.

"Damn, how can this shut-in be so greasy?" Xia Yueyue muttered a curse as she looked at the chat window on her phone.

"A toad wants to eat swan meat."

"Don't you even know your own limitations?"

Xia Yueyue complained, while the keyboard beneath her fingertips continued to send messages:

"Sorry, brother, I have too many classes this week."

"That's why I didn't reply to my brother's message in time."

"By the way, I really love the gift my brother sent to that person last time." Xia Yueyue opened the photo album again and sent a picture to the other person.

(Drooling emoji) (Drooling emoji)

"Xiao Ning is so beautiful!!!" The man's words pleased Xia Yueyue greatly. She sent him a few more sweet voice messages before ending the chat with satisfaction.

On the chat interface

"System, how many affection points did I receive last week?"

"Host, you acquired 8667 Love Points last week. Do you wish to redeem them?" The Cupid System calculated the value and directly informed Xia Yueyue.

"Then let's exchange them all for Love Points." Xia Yueyue took out her small mirror, a hint of smugness in her expression.

The Cupid Love System had already analyzed Xia Yueyue's temperament thoroughly, and then spoke again: "As the host's ability level is gradually increasing, this system suggests that the host upgrade the system once."

"Although upgrading the system will consume a certain amount of affection points, it will grant the host 'additional' benefits."

"Additional benefits?" Xia Yueyue asked.

Cupid offered an enticing reward: "After the upgrade, this system will consume affection points to set a 'love magnetic field' on the host. People affected by the magnetic field will fall in love with the host involuntarily."

"Fall in love with me?" Xia Yueyue murmured.

"Anyone?"

The name she longed for flashed through Xia Yueyue's mind. At this moment, she was completely unaware that the system had already aroused her desires.

She gazed at her face in the mirror; it was a rather charming face.

Her slightly upturned fox-like eyes vaguely resembled someone else's, but the greed in her eyes dampened her lively spirit.

Observing Xia Yueyue's flustered state, the Cupid system naturally offered an extremely tempting answer:

"Yes."

"Anyone will fall in love with you."
