But once she got into the car and closed the door, she finally smiled with relief.
I drove back to my rented apartment in Shenzhen.
Wu Manni made a phone call to her best friend.
"Thank you so much, lawyer. I've successfully resigned."
"So fast? Your company is really cold-blooded."
"This also shattered my last bit of attachment, so I can move on to my next company with peace of mind. Remember to look me up next time you come to Shanghai!"
"Okay, well, looks like I can't keep getting meals from you all the time."
"You, a top lawyer, are short of money for a meal?"
"Isn't it because other people's food tastes better?"
After hanging up with her best friend, Wu Manni picked up the phone and called Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, I'll come to Shanghai to report for duty tomorrow."
"Okay, no problem, welcome, welcome."
The next day, Wu Manni carried her luggage, bought a plane ticket to Shanghai, and after getting off the plane, took a taxi straight to Xingchen Technology.
"Hello, my name is Wu Manni, I'm looking for your General Manager Lin."
Hello, do you have an appointment?
"some."
"Okay, please wait a moment while I confirm."
The receptionist picked up the phone and dialed Lin Chen's landline.
"Mr. Lin, there's a lady named Wu Manni at the front desk looking for you. Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, the young woman said to Wu Manni.
"Ms. Wu, please wait a moment. Our General Manager Lin will be here shortly."
Lin Chen was talking to Zhang Yiming in the office when he heard that Wu Manni had arrived, so he spoke to Zhang Yiming.
"Come on, Mr. Zhang, Wu Manni is here. Let's go and greet her together."
The two went to the front desk.
"Mr. Wu, it's been a long time."
"President Lin, please take care of me from now on. This must be President Zhang Yiming?"
Wu Manni greeted Zhang Yiming, but Zhang Yiming stared at her intently, lost in thought.
Lin Chen nudged him.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, what are you daydreaming about? Mr. Wu is greeting you."
"Ah? Oh, Mr. Wu, hello, I'm Zhang Yiming."
"Mr. Zhang, it's an honor to meet you."
"Alright, let's not stand at the door anymore. Mr. Wu, please come in. I'll take you to the game department. Mr. Zhang, would you like to come along?"
"Of course we should do this together, after all, I'm the vice president in charge of all the business."
Lin Chen was too lazy to take it apart. This guy had been staring at Wu Manni with wide eyes just now, but it turned out he liked this type.
It seems we can just use our charm to win over Wu Manni. That way, even if she's a spy, we can turn her into a double agent.
Yes, perfect.
As Lin Chen pondered this, he led Wu Manni to the game department.
"Mr. Wu, this is Liu Wei, the director of our game department. We all call him Brother Dawei."
"Brother Dawei, this is Wu Manni."
"Mr. Wu, welcome, welcome."
"Brother Dawei, hello! I've heard so much about you. You're a legendary figure in the game development industry."
"Haha, not at all."
"Mr. Wu, I promised you I'd put you in charge of the Starry Sky Games platform. But it's still under development, so there's not much going on for now. Since you're in Shanghai, you'll definitely need to figure out where to stay. How about this: let's get you onboarding today. I'm giving you the position of Deputy Director of the Games Department, mainly responsible for the Starry Sky Games platform. Do you have any objections to this arrangement?"
"No, no, I'm very satisfied."
"Okay, then I'll take you to complete the onboarding procedures."
Lin Chen brought Wu Manni to An Rou's place.
An Rou was puzzled as to why she had brought Wu Manni here to complete the onboarding process, but she still cooperated and completed the onboarding procedures for her.
Wu Manni was filling out the forms.
Lin Chen secretly sent a message to An Rou.
"That old bastard Zhang Yiming's eyes widened the moment he saw Wu Manni."
An Rou's eyes lit up when she saw the message. Women, when they have gossip to listen to, their mental state is completely different from usual.
"I've filled it out."
An Rou glanced at it: "Hmm, no problem. Mr. Wu, welcome to Xingchen Technology, my name is An Rou."
"Oh? So you're Vice President An. How can I trouble you to process my onboarding?"
"Mr. Wu, have you forgotten? We met back in Shenzhen."
"I'm sorry, Mr. An, I really didn't recognize you. Maybe you've changed too much from back then."
An Rou thought about it and realized it made sense. Back then, she was a poor student struggling to afford tuition, but now she was the vice president of Xingchen Technology, an internet giant with a market value comparable to Alibaba's Tencent. The change must have been quite significant.
"It's alright, it's alright. We'll be colleagues from now on, so let's keep in touch."
"Okay, sure."
After seeing Wu Manni off, Lin Chen returned to An Rou's office.
"How about it?"
“Wu Manni was also born in 1983, just like Lao Zhang, and she’s still unmarried. Lao Zhang has a chance.”
"Haha, this is great! We have no choice but to use our handsome men."
"What kind of 'handsome man trap'?"
"I was worried before about whether Wu Manni was trustworthy, but if Zhang Yiming can take her down, then what's there to be afraid of? She'll be completely one of us."
"You guys are really scheming. Someone just comes to work, and you've already got your eyes on them."
"What if it's fate?"
"That's true. Fate is truly wonderful. Old Zhang is lucky."
