To Wang Yao's surprise, Lü Xian's attire was actually not out of place. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so long to realize something was wrong. If you removed the aura of the office director from Lü Xian, the scarf actually matched Lü Xian's youthful appearance perfectly.
Wang Yao felt that Lü Xian's sudden change in appearance was rather strange, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the scarf. He quickly noticed that on Lü Xian's neck, along the edge of the scarf, some inconspicuous little red lines were spreading out irregularly.
The tiny red lines contrasted sharply with the smooth, fair skin of Lü Xian's throat. Beneath the scarf, the crimson of the red lines seemed particularly intense, yet it was densely concealed by the scarf, like a massive iceberg hidden deep beneath the sea, imperceptible to anyone.
Wang Yao suddenly realized that Lu Xian's neck had been scratched with many red marks, which he was covering up with the scarf. How clever! He didn't know if Lu Xian had come up with the idea himself or if the Lion Roar Beast had come up with it, but it was indeed very useful. Without careful observation, no clues could be found.
Thinking of the Lion Roar Beast, Wang Yao suddenly realized that the conference room attendant had been replaced today; it was no longer Wei Cai, the Lion Roar Beast. What was going on? Could it be that this Lü Xian was even more powerful than the Lion Roar Beast? In their mutual attacks, the Lion Roar Beast was seriously injured and unable to work.
After thinking about the Lion Roar Beast and Lü Xian, Wang Yao thought about Hui Shuo in the room and the reckless Boss Yu. So much had happened today that he couldn't concentrate. He reached into his pocket and found that his resignation letter was still there. He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
Jack Ma, you're so lazy! You still haven't figured out online payment. Otherwise, whether it was before or after the Dharma assembly today, those two payments of over three million yuan would definitely have been made into Hui Shuo's account via online payment. Wouldn't that have created more possibilities for him and Hui Shuo tomorrow?
No matter how you look at it, technology is still the primary productive force! Thinking about how Sanxian Capital suddenly lost more than three million, Wang Yao was extremely regretful. The first thing he would do after resigning was not to wait for Jack Ma, but to get that online payment system working properly.
Wang Yao was lost in thought when he heard Hu Fei's melodious voice suddenly pause. He snapped back to reality and realized that the Lion Roar Beast Wei Cai had reappeared, carrying a water bottle and coming in to refill water. Wang Yao noticed that Lü Xian's expression had become noticeably unnatural.
He estimated the time; it should be past 10 p.m. Now, Wei Cai has come to relieve everyone? He wondered, noticing that the group of immortals in the conference room were also looking at Wei Cai with complicated expressions.
Wei Cai appeared quite composed, but anyone could see that her complexion was much better than at noon. Her fair skin was rosy, radiant with a glowing glow, as if water could flow from it if pinched. In the blink of an eye, she seemed ten years younger, possessing a youthful vitality.
Indeed, love is the best medicine! Even without Caixia's inspection, Wang Yao knew that the Lion Roar Beast's condition had greatly stabilized and it was no longer in danger of becoming an Exploding Beast.
During the day, Wei Cai would pour water first on the platform before going down to pour water for the section-level cadres. But at night, Wei Cai did something different. She would start pouring water from below before going up to the platform. Lu Xian sat there and didn't ask her to leave the water bottle behind.
Finally, Wei Cai came to stand behind Lü Xian. Almost every immortal present stared wide-eyed, and Hu Fei unconsciously leaned over as he read.
"Article Seventy: When a foreign god appears in the celestial realm... uh... any problem must be reported to... uh... the Heavenly Court's Foreign God Committee, which will decide... uh... the handling of the foreign god. Any... uh... without the approval of the Foreign God Committee..."
They were all stuttering while reading, but no one noticed. Then, no one realized what tricks Wei Cai had used. Suddenly, Lu Xian's handsome face twisted into a grimace. Although he returned to normal in an instant, everyone was an immortal, so naturally no one let him off the hook.
Wei Cai poured water for Lü Xian without making a sound, then turned around and walked down the steps with a swaying figure. When she reached the door, she turned around again and glanced at Lü Xian, who sat upright as if nothing had happened.
But less than five minutes after Wei Cai left, Lü Xian suddenly coughed and stood up.
"You all continue the meeting, I have something to take care of." This time he remembered to say goodbye to everyone, and then walked out of the meeting room under everyone's watchful eyes.
Before anyone could react, another series of crisp "snap snaps" came from outside the meeting room.
"Don't slap me in the face..." Lu Xian's voice had barely rang out when it vanished. All the immortals, including Wang Yao himself, couldn't help but shudder. Sure enough... it wasn't surprising that Lu Xian got slapped in the face, but it was incredibly strange that he was practically begging to be slapped.
So that's what Lü Xian likes... Wang Yao suddenly understood. So that's what Lü Xian likes. Damn it, he actually picked the right one? He didn't get his revenge on that bastard, but instead got what he wanted? And... would that guy surnamed Lü just leave and not come back?
I haven't submitted my resignation yet!
The following meeting was utterly boring. Not only did Wang Yao long for Lü Xian to return, but every immortal present also longed for his return. After all, they were all immortals, skilled at discerning the truth from the smallest clues. It's likely that Wang Yao wasn't the only one who noticed Lü Xian's fancy scarf.
But Lu Xian, whom everyone had been hoping for, did not return to the meeting room as everyone wished, even after the meeting ended. Ke Ke's face turned green, but Hu Fei was alright. He finally finished reading the book and collapsed into his seat, looking like he had just finished a marathon.
