Zhuo Lu also observed the behavior of her other colleagues while working.
She gradually discovered something very strange: her colleagues were very afraid of Mr. Xing.
This matter is not hard to guess, and there is even some extenuating circumstances.
Faced with such a powerful figure, who among those who worked under him wouldn't be afraid?
Those are people who can decide your life or death with a single word. You don't want to lose your life instead of making money; that would be the worst outcome.
Therefore, once Xing Zhicheng gave them a task, even if he didn't explain it clearly, they didn't dare to ask. They would rather do several more tasks according to the different meanings of the task than ask questions.
But Zhuo Lu felt that doing so was unnecessary.
Firstly, as a secretary, one already has a lot of work to do every day. If one were to do multiple tasks of everything, even Ultron himself probably wouldn't be able to handle the workload for a day.
I'm afraid it won't last more than a few days before it destroys the world.
Secondly...
Zhuo Lu is a very meticulous person. She thinks it's dereliction of duty to do things without asking questions first.
Therefore, this actually made Xing Zhicheng like her more.
He was naturally suspicious by nature, and could be paranoid about even the smallest things for half a day.
As a suspicious person, Xing Zhicheng hates subordinates who are full of ulterior motives. He hates having his thoughts read by them, which is why his secretaries don't last long.
Zhuo Lu is an exception.
She would ask questions before doing anything, a behavior that would be seen as naivety by seasoned professionals, and would be ridiculed and despised. But it worked very well with Xing Zhicheng.
Xing Zhicheng likes people who don't have much of their own thoughts.
It would make him feel that he is easy to control, and for a suspicious person, an easy-to-control subordinate is simply a treasure.
"Let's take a shower. It would be even better if you could make me a cup of hot tea. I want Pu'er, not Longjing. I'll drink it after I shower."
After spending a lot of time with Zhuo Lu, Xing Zhicheng gradually learned to explain things clearly before letting her do them.
After noting down Xing Zhicheng's instructions and making sure there were no omissions, Zhuo Lu turned around and went to carry them out.
"Third Master..."
The leader of Group R stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and his face was full of regret.
Behind him, all the members of Group R had gathered around, and everyone looked dejected, with regret written all over their faces.
What should have been a sure thing turned out to be a failure.
Even Third Master was threatened. The god-like man in their hearts had pulled them out of the mire, but this was how they repaid him.
Each member of Group R felt somewhat ashamed at this moment.
"Don't regret what has already happened."
Xing Zhicheng took in everyone's expressions and then said calmly, "Do you remember what I told you? Regret is useless. What's done is done. Don't be anxious about things that haven't happened yet, and don't regret things that have already happened."
"It's just one failed mission. It doesn't mean your lives are over. Go back and get some rest. Do a better job on the next mission. That's all."
"Disband!"
Xing Zhicheng shouted in a deep voice, the last two words resounding and reawakening the spirits of the entire R group who had been lost in confusion. Without waiting for them, Xing Zhicheng walked into the courtyard on his own.
He trusted his judgment.
The action team that was chosen by them could not possibly have such fragile mental fortitude.
More than that, Xing Zhicheng was concerned about how to use Qing Ning as a weapon to get rid of the person who was riding on his head.
Since Xia Che is temporarily untouchable, Xing Zhicheng will use a roundabout approach to achieve his goal in the same way.
After Xing Zhicheng left, the members of Team R looked at each other, but this time their faces were no longer filled with regret; a fighting spirit ignited deep in their eyes.
It was just a failure; they'd tasted it far too many times before, and they were all too familiar with this moldy, musty feeling.
They weren't afraid of failure, but they were worried that Master Xing would be disappointed in them.
Fortunately, Master Xing didn't.
"Next time, we must win beautifully!"
The leader of Group R took a deep breath and roared.
"yes!"
...
Even though it was already night, the pedestrian street in Jiang City was still incredibly lively.
This place has always been known as a trendy street.
It's not that the shops here are particularly cool or have particularly avant-garde aesthetics...
It's because everyone who comes here to shop is a handsome man or a beautiful woman.
With so many trendy men and women, the pedestrian street gradually earned the nickname "Trendy Street".
"They say there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names... Damn it, that's so true!"
Xia Che stared in disbelief at the scene before him. Looking around, he saw that as long as someone could walk, regardless of how high-end their clothes were, their attire was at least comfortable to look at.
It's clearly been carefully coordinated.
Although Xia Che had been here before, it seemed that he had just run into the evening rush hour today.
Standing in the middle of the trendy crowd, Xia Che suddenly felt a little inferior.
This feeling of inferiority came out of nowhere. Although the blond hairstyle detracted from his image, it shouldn't have caused him to feel inferior.
Xia Che has always considered himself quite confident...
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Xia Che turned his head and immediately understood the source of his inferiority complex.
— Lime!
Qing Ning's appearance is truly stunning. Her sweet features and her perfectly proportioned height, though not particularly tall, instantly attract everyone's attention.
Having gone abroad at a young age, Qingning has clearly incorporated many trendy elements into her fashion sense. Although she is not as flamboyant as others, her style unexpectedly suits her appearance.
When the two are added together, the result is greater than the sum of its parts.
At this moment, Qingning is a princess, a goddess radiating a holy light that terrifies otaku.
Even surrounded by trendy people, Qing Ning's radiance couldn't be overshadowed.
Xia Che touched the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead without him noticing, and suddenly understood why he felt inferior.
Damn it...
With a saintess by his side, who wouldn't feel inferior?
Almost everyone on the street was looking at her, and she herself became the focus of attention. How could anyone not feel inferior in that situation!
"What are you looking at me for? And... stop swearing. Just because you dyed your hair doesn't mean you're some kind of scumbag, does it?"
Qing Ning ate the ice cream cone she had just bought in small bites. Noticing Xia Che's gaze, she put her hands on her hips, frowned, and said coldly.
Coincidentally, she had long disliked Xia Che's hairstyle, and now she happened to have some free time.
Anyway, I'm just wandering around.
Why don't we shave his head today before we leave?
"I'm warning you, don't even think about changing my hairstyle, it's absolutely not going to change."
Xia Che was startled by Qing Ning's wolf-like gaze and quickly covered his hair with both hands, warning her.
