Chapter 288 Attacked After Completing The Bronze Mission
Thinking so, Chu Xia and the front desk lady arrived at the general manager’s office where Su Yang was in. The lady at the front desk knocked on the door. “General Manager Su, Miss Chu Xia is here.”
“Enter.” Su Yang replied in a very concise manner as if he was very busy. Chu Xia’s heart fluttered as she felt a little bad. ‘It looks like he’s really busy. Will I be disturbing him if I come to him just to ask him to accompany me while I write my novel? Will I be a terrible person for delaying his work just because of my sake?’
The door opened and Su Yang was on the table with both legs crossed, phone in hand while playing a game. “I’m on the way! Will it work?! Charge! Charge! Ugh! Dead again!”
Chu Xia was speechless.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Yang looked up at both of them and put his phone upside down on the table. “Chu Xia, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Chu Xia replied nonchalantly. “I can imagine.”
When the lady at the front desk closed the door with a sneer, Chu Xia gave Su Yang a blank stare. “I thought you were busy! You have no idea how guilty I felt just because I thought I’d bother you!”
Su Yang looked at her, baffled. “Why do you think that? If I was very busy, I’m sure I wouldn’t agree.”
Chu Xia was speechless.
It was indeed true, everything she had felt was just the makings of her own mind.
Su Yang looked at her like she was an idiot and got up to make room, “Come, you can continue writing your novel.”
Chu Xia made herself at home, quietly making a face at Su Yang’s behind his back before she took a seat in his place. She was getting ready to write.
It was similar to what she had expected. As soon as she went to Su Yang’s side, she felt a burst of inspiration. It was like walking from the Sahara Desert to the Amazon Rainforest. Her breath was now filled with unparalleled moisture, one that wasn’t present in the desert.
Her slender fingers danced on Su Yang’s keyboard, and beautiful line after line of text appeared on the screen.
Su Yang sat on the couch beside the bed, looked up at Chu Xia, and shook his head before picking Little Deeny up once more so he could continue his game.
Ever since using the Salty Fish Mask, Su Yang always felt as if the saltiness in his body had been triggered. In the past, he wasn’t interested in games. However, it would seem that recently, he’d play games for no apparent reason.
“Could it be… Is this the reason I’m rich?’
While blindly pondering, Su Yang controlled his champion and left the fountain for the tenth time.
Su Yang’s cell phone received a WeChat notification after he finished a game. Su Yang took a look, and found that it was from Producer Zhao, saying that the movie had been coordinated and was scheduled for shooting this week.
n
The props and the locations were in place, and the actors had all been booked. Filming would begin the following day and was expected to be finished by the following Wednesday.
‘Wow, it’s expected to complete shooting next Wednesday. Big network movies are really fast.’
Su Yang replied on WeChat before leaving the office to call Chen Xiaoyun. [Got it]
As the producer was a third party, Su Yang couldn’t just listen to Producer Zhao’s side of the story. He still needed to do his own due diligence so he called Chen Xiaoyun.
She was very surprised to receive Su Yang’s call.
At first, she was doing well in the HR department of Qidian E-Commerce and thought Su Yang was preparing to train her. However, she suddenly received a transfer order for her to go to an unfamiliar film company to work as a producer.
She didn’t even know the first thing about producing a movie!
In order to do a good job, she had to keep herself busy by learning all sorts of knowledge relevant to the job for an entire week just in case she messed up.
The company didn’t have any other arrangements for her, so she could only keep an eye on the information, reports, and expenses of Producer Zhao producer which was extremely dull and boring for her.
Today, she finally received a phone call from Su Yang. It made her cry tears of joy so much so that she kept herself busy, explaining everything in detail to Su Yang. After the introduction, Chen Xiaoyun cautiously asked for Su Yang to come back to work.
As a result, she was rejected mercilessly by Su Yang. “Why should I come back when you’re doing so well?! Do your best in your own film company!”
Chen Xiaoyun was speechless.
The more Su Yang thought about it after hanging up the phone, the more he felt like he had chosen the right person.
Hanging up the phone, the more Su Yang thought about it, the more he felt that he had chosen the right person. Chen Xiaoyun had potential in terms of negotiation and communication skills. However, she had weak organizational skills and was a little of an introvert, making her perfect for the role of a producer.
After all, she didn’t need to go solo, she just needed to have an eye for identifying people and keep an eye on the crew. For everything else, there were professionals in charge.
Her weaker organizational and social skills would, in turn, allow her to easily integrate into the crew. It was perfect. After thinking about Chen Xiaoyun, Su Yang was thinking about this first movie of his.
According to Chen Xiaoyun’s report, the movie didn’t need to be shot in Hengdian. In order to save money, the movie was going to be shot in Shanghai.
The mythology-related content will make use of an indoor studio with a green screen. The remaining effects would be added during the post-production process.
Su Yang thought about the post-production process and realized that his abilities in this department were only at the level of a beginner.
‘Would doing this be too much? Should I add a point to myself?
‘Having a bronze point added to me would be useless, not to mention the mission involving Chu Xia that’s almost going to be completed. Maybe I should level my abilities later… Still, it’s a 5 million dollar deal and it’s going to be quite heartbreaking if it flops!’
After making his decision, Su Yang returned to his office.
Chu Xia was still there seriously writing, completely unaware of Suo Yang coming in and out.
Su Yang looked at Chu Xia’s serious appearance and pondered in his heart. ‘Ah… so the reason I didn’t complete the Bronze Mission yesterday was that her writing gig is a long-term job.
‘I only solved her writing for a day in the short term, but not in the long term.
‘In that case, I wonder if there’s a good solution to this.’
The easiest would have been to just give the squid to Chu Xia. However, Su Yang decided against that option earlier for no other reason aside from how stupid it sounded.
It would be like putting a nametag on the squid’s head that said, “This thing is amazing! It has superpowers!”
Because of that, Su Yang decided to let Chu Xia work in the company, writing novels in his general manager’s office. The reason he gave her was still the same. He’d tell her that this office had good feng shui.
Thinking of this, Su Yang softly called out to Chu Xia, “Chu Xia?” She obviously heard him but didn’t even turn her head as she said, “Don’t say anything! I’m writing the main plot!”
Su Yang was speechless.
Looking at the eager expression on Chu Xia’s face, and the fingers that were speedily tapping on the keyboard, Su Yang believed that she was really going at it with her main plot. ‘C’mon, an author immersed in his own world is unbelievable.’
Su Yang brought Little Dee out, lay on his chair, and decided to continue his game.
Just as he unfolded his phone, an image suddenly appeared in front of him.
(Heaven’s Eye) activated.
The picture was of a somewhat familiar place. It was as if it was at Su Yang’s house.
The three strangers were checking out his home as they chatted.
One of the thinner youths yawned and said carelessly, “Is this the place where that Su-whatever-Yang lives?” A skinny, monkey-like man next to him replied, “Yeah, it doesn’t look that special.”
The remaining bald man from the trio instructed, “Be careful not to leave any traces. We’re just here to check it out.”
The skinny man squatted to the ground and said somewhat dejectedly, “If you ask me, I’d just bring him over and question him. It’s been three days of investigation, and only he’s the most suspicious suspect.”
Su Yang’s eyebrows slowly furrowed. ‘Who are these people? Are they investigating him by themselves?’
The bald man said, “We can’t make a big deal out of this, so we have to find out what’s going on, do it cleanly, and leave.”
“How about this. Let’s take this…” As he said that, the bald-headed man took out a compact object.
Su Yang just wanted to take a closer look at what it was, but the image came to a screeching halt.
‘What the hell was that just now?’
Su Yang looked at Chu Xia and went to another empty office. This office was supposed to be reserved for the manager of the Strategic Cooperation Department, but it was empty because there hadn’t been a suitable candidate.
When he arrived at the empty office, Su Yang asked Little Deeny to bring out the (Videotape to Make Up for Regret) and stuck it to his forehead. recalling the images he had just seen. He wanted to record the scene he had just seen with (Heaven’s Eyes) so he could zoom in for a closer look to confirm what it was.
Soon, the recording of his memory was complete, and Su Yang got out of the trance. He was zooming in and out as he watched the replay.
It’s something that looks like black paper with a short antenna. It looks like a bug but it seems so advanced.
‘Who the hell are these three people? Why sneak into his room, rummage through things, investigate, eavesdrop, and bring over all those professional pieces of equipment just for me?’
Su Yang thought it didn’t feel quite right.
Immediately, he wondered if this was related to the [In] App or Zhao Xiao.
After all, they were his only recent enemies and it seemed like he had to figure it all out as soon as possible… When he returned to the office, Su Yang continued to play with his phone as if nothing had happened.
Chu Xia wrote rather quickly, and by the time the workday ended at Qidian E-Commerce, she had already written 10,000 words. She didn’t plan on writing too much today so she ended the day right there.
Su Yang put down his phone, looked at her, and smiled. “Are you tired?”
Chu Xia shook her head. “No, I’m not. On the contrary, I feel incredibly comfortable.” ‘Hmm? Why is this conversation so weird?’
Su Yang declined her offer to treat him to dinner as he greeted the receptionist and Wang Dong. He instructed them to allow Chu Xia to come and go from his office freely.
Su Yang didn’t bother to pay any attention to them as they both had a knowing look.
Chu Xia, on the other hand, looked like someone’s daughter-in-law the entire time. She was blushing while keeping her head down, seeming like she had misunderstood something
Su Yang felt like he had to investigate those three people soon so he wouldn’t be able to accompany her for an entire day like this.
Surely enough, the prompt for the completion of the Bronze Mission sounded in his mind after Su Yang had made the arrangements. [Congratulations. Bronze Mission Completed! Help Chu Xia solve the difficulties she encountered.]
With the Bronze Mission complete, Su Yang returned back to the general manager’s office while Chu Xia went to the bathroom. Then, he hid the flower pot for the squid in the office safe.
With everything packed up, he and Chu Xia left the gates of the High Tech Park before saying their goodbyes and heading home.
Along the way, Su Yang kept his guard up, always keeping an eye out for anyone watching him.
en
However, Su Yang (Heaven’s Eyes) didn’t even activate when he entered the neighborhood. It was as if everything was normal.
‘Aren’t those three spying on me?
‘Are they investigating someone else instead? After all, it seems like they have other targets when I was listening to their conversation.’
Thinking this way, Su Yang returned home. However, as he got closer to the door, Su Yang found something unusual. It seemed like the lock on his door had been pried open to the point where the frame was deformed despite the door being tightly closed.
‘Didn’t those people leave?’
Su Yang looked around to make sure that no one could see him. Then, he released Janet from the virtual space and commanded him to gently open the door. Janet opened the door and cautiously walked in as Su Yang followed closely behind.
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, suddenly! The next bathroom door is open!
A pair of slender, shiny thighs fiercely stretched out from within as they mercilessly grabbed Su Yang’s neck. The legs were strung together with such force that Su Yang could feel his entire body fly into the air before he was slammed to the ground!
