The next day after Wang Xinya finished dealing with her family matters, she finished editing the relevant programs and broadcasted our program on the Big Village World program that night.
The television station's viewership ratings weren't particularly high, but this program was very novel and received unanimous praise from the television station's leaders. It was even rebroadcasted many times. In the next few days, he gradually received more praise from society.
We worked with Wang Xinya many times in the following week, and we were able to get very good viewership ratings every time. Her program also jumped from a fringe program that no one cared about to the trump card of the television station. Just as we had expected, the click rate of our Short videos also increased rapidly. Our income and reputation are also gradually increasing.
With this little fame, I came to the Yuan Universe and found Zi Gong. Zi Gong told him the second step of his plan.
I followed Zi Gong's suggestion and began to implement it.
We set up our own public account and began to use our small reputation to advertise. We recruited people from nearby cities who were used to sitting in the office and wanted to experience working life or lose weight to join our team. We will arrange for them to do some work that is not dangerous, not dirty, but very laborious. We will also give them a certain amount of remuneration according to the contract and the amount of labor.
There weren't many people who participated in the beginning, but with the promotion of the Short videos and the personal experience of the manual laborers, more and more people wanted to join us.
A lot of people from the three high schools join us every weekend. The air here is better than the gym. They don't have to spend money and can earn money. This will give them more motivation to exercise. Moreover, this labor was interesting and more meaningful. Sweat made their bodies very comfortable, and many physical indicators would quickly improve.
Fortunately, our village is big and we need to do a lot of physical work. Otherwise, it would really not be enough for us to do. This new way of cooperation has made our Short videos even more popular.
Our cooperation with Wang Xinya was also like a fish in water. However, Liu Xin's despicable behavior in front of Wang Xinya didn't change much. He only restrained himself after I reminded him every time.
One night a week later, Liu Xin came to look for me again. He said that Xinya's program not only used our Short videos, but also absorbed many healthy and interesting short videos from other local internet celebrities. The show was very popular now, so she had taken on a lot of advertisements. Recently, the largest shopping mall in the city wants to use the television station and our platform to advertise. The conditions are very good, and if the effect is good, they want to cooperate for a long time.
Of course, I have no objections. I said, since it was your Xinya who introduced her, there's no problem.
The next day, Liu Xin and I were led by Wang Xinya to the largest shopping mall in the city.
This place used to be very glorious. I remember when I was young, this place was almost a shopping paradise for adults and children in our city. Many of my new clothes, toys, and most of my home appliances were bought here. However, in recent years, the business here had been getting worse and worse. Although it had been transformed from a shopping mall into a shopping center, it was still heavily impacted by online shopping. The number of customers had decreased significantly.
Wang Xinya brought us directly to the marketing director's office. Director Ma, who was in charge of marketing, warmly welcomed us in the office. The details were easy to settle and the price was appropriate. We reached an agreement without any disagreement. In the end, Director Ma told us that we needed to report this matter to President Zhang of their mall and invited us to their President Zhang's office to confirm the final cooperation intention.
We followed the host and went to Director Zhang's office together.
The office was 120 to 130 square meters, and the mahogany furniture made it look luxurious. Director Zhang was playing chess on the computer beside his desk. Seeing that we had arrived, he stood up and gave up his seat. He asked Director Ma to pour tea, and then immediately returned to his seat to play chess.
Director Ma explained that Director Zhang was a chess fan. He then poured a cup of tea for each of us and gestured for us to wait for a while.
However, after waiting for a full ten minutes, Director Zhang still had no intention of finishing. Director Ma was also a little embarrassed. He found a topic to talk about how their mall had filmed a few short videos a few days ago and wanted Wang Xinya to help guide them.
Wang Xinya also understood what Director Ma meant. She said that Director Zhang was busy, so it would be good for them to watch the short film first.
Director Ma left with Wang Xinya after greeting Director Zhang. Liu Xin's nature of valuing women over friends was exposed again. Regardless of whether I was lonely or not, I went out with them.
President Zhang said a few polite words to me before returning to the table to play chess.
I was the only one left, although Chief Zhang also told me not to stand on ceremony and to wait for him for a while. But I always felt a little uncomfortable, a little embarrassed that no one took me seriously.
I sat in my seat and looked at Director Zhang's chessboard. I could only say that I knew a little about Chinese chess and was not an expert at all. However, I could still understand ordinary chess.
It seemed like Chief Zhang really cared about winning or losing this game, but he had a bad start and lost a horse for nothing, causing the entire game to be passive. Chief Zhang played very seriously, and there were actually some fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
I suddenly had an idea. I sat on the sofa and squinted my eyes. Then, I entered the space-time concept to find Gao Shizi. Time was running out, so I asked Senior Gao if there was a machine in our universe that could turn me into a chess master. Gao Shizi said that it was not allowed to change people's consciousness and intelligence, but it could let intelligent machines tell you how to play chess through space-time communication.
I said, this is enough. Do I have the authority to let the intelligent machine establish a connection with me in reality and let me become a chess expert?
Gao Shizi said straightforwardly. Of course he could, this was also a relatively low level of authority. You can now return to the real world. We immediately let the intelligent machine establish a connection with you in the real world.
I thanked him and immediately returned to the real world. I have to hurry. After all, I'm still in his office. Fortunately, when I returned to the real world, Director Zhang didn't notice anything unusual.
I got up and pretended to be bored as I went behind Director Zhang. Director Zhang noticed me and asked,"Do you like to play chess too?"
I've already established a connection with the intelligent machines in the meta-universe, but I'll still be humble and say that it's a hobby. I know a little.
Director Zhang was still looking at the chessboard. After hearing what I said, he didn't care too much. After all, there were too many people in China who knew how to play chess or knew a little about it. However, his chess game was already on the verge of collapse. Director Zhang had no choice but to use his car to exchange for another cannon. The situation was even more passive. Director Zhang's mouse was even on the button to admit defeat, but he had not pressed it.
Seeing this, I continued to ask if Director Zhang could let me try. I felt that there was still room for redemption.
Only then did Chief Zhang start to size me up carefully. He asked suspiciously, This move was so passive that it could be salvaged?
I couldn't be any more humble. I said with a bit of confidence that even though I was in a passive position with two less sons, I could still take a gamble.
When President Zhang heard me say this, he stood up and said,"The person opposite me is a friend of mine, who is also the CEO of a company. I have already lost three games to him in the past two days." This game of chess is indeed as you said. I'm about to lose again. If you want to try, I might as well let you try.
After saying that, he gave up his seat. I didn't stand on ceremony and sat on it. The reason why I said this was because the AI machine knew the other party's chess skills by watching the other party's moves and told me that the game could still be salvaged, so I dared to say this.
Just as I sat down, the other party sent me a message. Old Zhang, you're still holding on. Your defeat is certain. Admit defeat.
I didn't ask Director Zhang for permission and directly replied, Admit defeat? The outcome was still uncertain.
The other party replied in an instant,"A loss is a loss. Why are you still so stubborn?"
I replied. I wasn't stubborn. I didn't think my situation was that bad. I even had a chance of winning.
The other party was obviously angered by me and replied instantly,"If you can still win this game, I'll immediately give you 100,000 yuan." If you lose, just admit that you're not as good as me. What do you think?
It was a deal.
President Zhang gave me a thumbs up after I finished typing. It seemed that if it were him, he would also reply like this.
After typing, we stopped talking and started playing chess. However, this time, I placed my pieces as if they were flying. Almost always, as soon as the other party finished playing, I immediately followed up with a move.
After three moves, I actually killed one of the opponents. Chief Zhang kept nodding and praising me for my superb chess skills. I seemed to be chatting with Director Zhang indifferently, as if my energy was not on the game at all. In fact, I was cheating. I didn't think about any moves at all. I just mechanically listened to the moves of the intelligent machine and placed my pieces.
However, Chief Zhang didn't think so. He gradually began to take me seriously. In less than five steps, I completely turned the situation around and slapped the other party again. This time, it was the other party's turn to ponder and not place a piece.
This time, it was Chief Zhang's turn to anger him. Chief Zhang snatched the keyboard over and said,"Is 100,000 yuan a transfer or cash?" I've long warned you that playing chess is like life. The quality of chess depends on one's character. You're just too cocky.
The other party replied,"Don't be so smug. This game isn't over yet." However, he didn't last long. After another five steps, I completely checkmated him.
The other party didn't speak for a long time. I could feel his frustration through the screen. Director Zhang was also tactful and did not provoke him anymore. Instead, he started chatting with me. Only then did he remember that he hadn't asked for my name. I said that my name was Li Yuan, an unemployed young man. I had nothing better to do, so I did a Short videos job.
Director Zhang asked me again, who did I learn my superb Go skills from? I didn't tell him the truth. I couldn't tell him about the Metauniverse. I could only say that I liked to read chess records, but I really wasn't an expert.
Director Zhang was very emotional. He said that he loved chess and had read a lot of chess books. He also got to know a few chess masters, but he was obviously not as good as me.
I modestly said that my chess skills were average and that I had been blindsided today.
While we were chatting, the other party started to challenge us again through the chat window. Mr. Zhang motioned for me to continue and reminded me to play slowly, or the other party would see it. After saying that, he began to laugh.
I could only continue. If nothing unexpected happened, I won two games in a row against the other party. The other party used the excuse that he was not in his best condition today and stopped playing.
After the chess game stopped, President Zhang immediately asked the finance department to send 100,000 yuan, saying that he deserved it.
I didn't agree. This is too childish. Although I also need money now, a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. I didn't play chess for him to win money. I just wanted to ease my embarrassment and get in touch with my sugar daddy. Now, although CEO Zhang might be able to get the money from the other party. However, taking other people's money like this always felt a little opportunistic and not fair at all.
I insisted on not taking the money. This time, it was President Zhang's turn to be a little surprised. He explained that the other party was President Wang, the largest real estate developer in the city. The two of them were childhood friends, and it was impossible for him to take the other party's money. But I definitely should give it to you. Since you don't want it either, just take it as you deposit the money with me. You can ask me if you want it in the future. I still refused to admit it and insisted on not having anything to do with the money.
After this incident, Director Zhang started to become more and more enthusiastic about me. He started to talk to me about all kinds of topics. I didn't expect that there would be so many topics between us. I also have a new understanding of this Chief Zhang.
President Zhang is not a bad person. Other than being a little negligent to us just now, he is actually a very capable boss.
We chatted for a while. At this time, Director Zhang remembered to call Director Ma and ask them to come back. In less than two minutes, the three of them returned to Director Zhang's office.
This time, CEO Zhang was obviously much more enthusiastic. He introduced all the things in the mall. According to him, the mall had indeed encountered a big problem in its operation. In the past two years, it had basically been losing money and making money. It was no match for e-commerce at all. This time, we're here mainly to use Short videos to promote their mall.
Just as we were talking, CEO Wang called. Director Zhang did not avoid it and put it on speaker.
The other party's voice was very loud. He said," Your Go skills have improved recently, and you have many tricks up your sleeve. I admit defeat today. I mean what I say. How can I transfer you 100,000 yuan?"
When President Zhang heard this, he quickly said," Both of us play chess as a hobby. If we add a bet, it'll be boring. It's better to play mahjong." Let me tell you the truth. I have a little brother here today. He's very good at chess. He played all three games.
I've never seen many of your moves today. They're obviously different from your style. Since you're so honest, I'll tell you the truth too. I've taken an expert as my master these days. He was the chess champion of the neighboring city last year. He taught me many of my chess moves recently. I've used these moves to beat you in the past few days. He'll come over in the afternoon. If you have time, bring your little brother to my teahouse. We'll play first, and then we'll have a duel between experts. How about that?
When President Zhang heard that there was another expert, he was obviously a little excited. He told the other party that he definitely had no problem, but he had to ask for his brother's opinion. Then he looked at me and said,"Little Li, do you have time in the afternoon? If there's nothing special, why don't you go out with your brother?"
Although I didn't really like this kind of occasion, I still had to give Chief Zhang some face when working with others. I subconsciously said, no problem. I had nothing to do in the afternoon.
When President Zhang heard me say this, he immediately made an appointment with the other party to meet at President Wang's Yongcui Teahouse at three in the afternoon.
Director Zhang then asked Director Ma how the discussion about our cooperation went. Director Ma said that he had basically discussed it with Wang Xinya and the others. There were no changes to the previous plan.
President Zhang immediately said that he would increase the advertising fee by 20,000 yuan. Moreover, they would be working together for a long time in the future. The terms would be as good as possible. As for the rest, they could discuss it themselves. I need to go home later. Bring them to our VIP hotel for lunch first. In the afternoon, drive Xiao Li to Yongcui Teahouse on time.
We quickly said that there was no need. I also know the location of Yongcui Teahouse. I can go there myself.
Chief Ma said," Don't stand on ceremony. It's just a small token from Chief Zhang. Don't reject Chief Zhang's offer." We couldn't say anything else, so we could only follow the host's instructions. Director Ma went forward to report some other things, then took us out of Director Zhang's office.
It was already noon. Director Ma drove the three of us to the VIP building. This was also a slightly famous hotel in the city. We went straight to a private room on the second floor. Director Ma ordered a table of dishes without asking for our opinion. He even served a big lobster. It seemed that Director Zhang had specially arranged it.
We were really a little hungry. After a few polite words, we began to eat.
During the meal, I asked Director Ma if this restaurant also belonged to Director Zhang. Director Ma said that Director Zhang had a wide range of businesses, including real estate, hotels, and shopping malls. However, the business of the shopping malls had been losing money recently, so he was more concerned about the shopping malls. I asked again, isn't this shopping center the best mall in our city? How could he still lose money?
Director Ma said with a bitter smile. In recent years, people had liked to shop online. It was not easy to do physical stores in the country. Director Zhang's shopping center was also maintained. If there was a good buyer, he would have sold it long ago. I'm looking for you to advertise to increase my popularity. However, Director Ma did not continue. He shook his head helplessly, revealing his lack of confidence.
Wang Xinya tactfully changed the topic, and we chatted about something else before leaving.
Liu Xin and Wang Xinya went shopping and watched a movie after dinner.
Director Ma and I took a short break at the hotel. Before three o'clock, Director Ma drove me to Yongcui Teahouse.
This teahouse was at the corner of a bustling street. He had passed by it many times before, but he had never entered it.
This was our first time back. The interior was decorated in a simple and elegant manner. We followed the waiter's directions and went straight to a private room on the second floor. President Zhang and a few other people we didn't know were already sitting inside. Seeing us enter, everyone stood up and gave up their seats. Director Zhang began to introduce them. One of them was wearing a white shirt. The fair and plump one was Director Wang. The one wearing a suit beside Director Wang was his assistant, Xiao Zhou. A middle-aged man in a jacket sat in the main seat opposite. Director Zhang introduced him to Teacher Wu, the chess champion of the neighboring city that Director Wang had mentioned.
When President Zhang introduced me, President Wang looked at me carefully and said from time to time that this young man's chess skills were really extraordinary.
I quickly and humbly said that I had played well and that my chess skills were actually very ordinary.
CEO Wang said," Don't be humble. Although I'm not an expert, I feel that I'm okay. In the last two games with you online, I was obviously not as good as you."
Director Zhang continued," Of course. This little brother of mine is definitely an expert in chess. I smiled humbly and didn't refute him."
Mr. Wu didn't say anything. He just smiled, but there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
I was the youngest and sat by the door. President Zhang and President Wang exchanged a few polite words before starting to play chess. President Wang's assistant, Teacher Wu, and I watched from the side.
President Wang and President Zhang's chess skills were on par with each other, and they were higher than mine in real life. I watched silently without saying a word. After watching the first few moves, Mr. Wu stopped looking and started looking at his phone. Clearly, he felt that there was not much he could learn from these two people's moves.
The assistant, Xiao Zhou, seized the opportunity to pour us tea. I felt that this tea was not ordinary after taking the first sip. At least, I had never drunk such good tea before. The fragrance assailed my nose, and the taste was especially good. I don't know how to drink tea, but I feel that this tea must be expensive. No one else said anything about tea, so I couldn't praise it too much. I could only watch the chess game quietly. This kind of environment made me feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, it didn't take long. In less than 30 minutes, the winner and loser were decided. President Zhang lost again. Director Zhang was obviously a little regretful, but he still teased himself that his recent chess game was no different from a lousy chess game. Then, he sighed helplessly.
CEO Wang was obviously very arrogant. He said,"If you can't do it, how about letting your little brother play with me?"
When President Zhang heard that President Wang wanted to play with him, he also became energetic and said,"You're obviously not convinced." CEO Wang also smiled and said," I'm definitely not convinced by you, but I have the heart to humbly ask for advice from an expert. Little brother, let's play first."
I said politely that I wasn't an expert at all, but CEO Wang was interested and was willing to play with him. Both of us sat down and began to play chess. My chess was just average to begin with. CEO Wang was really an expert, so I quickly fell into a disadvantage. CEO Wang was just trying, but now that he saw that he had the upper hand, he was obviously a little proud.
Chief Zhang really wanted me to win, but seeing that I was at a disadvantage, he felt a little helpless. I didn't want to cheat anymore, but if I don't win now, not only will I lose face, but Chief Zhang will also lose face. After thinking about it, I think I should win first. I still contacted the intelligent machine in the universe, but I had no choice but to use it again.
Teacher Wu, who was brought by Director Wang, also came over to take a look. There was nothing special about the first few moves. It was a layout that everyone liked. Teacher Wu saw that I was already at a disadvantage and stopped watching. She looked at her phone with interest. However, after five or six steps, I began to reverse the situation. CEO Wang clearly felt that it was a little difficult. Mr. Wu also came to watch. He was still a little surprised by the sudden change in the game. Instead of looking at his phone, he carefully observed the position of each piece on the chessboard. After another three steps, I caught one of the other party's cars and killed it. Teacher Wu began to treat it seriously. However, CEO Wang's defeat was already set in stone, so he could only admit defeat.
Director Zhang also smiled and said with a relieved tone," I'm convinced now. I still have to try." CEO Wang did not show any weakness and said,"How dare you criticize me when I've lost?" If I can't make it, then I, Teacher Wu, am not to be trifled with. Then I got up and pulled Teacher Wu to sit opposite me. I said half-jokingly, Teacher Wu, this President Zhang is too arrogant. Don't be polite and help me destroy their prestige.
I still respected Teacher Wu very much. I quickly stood up and humbly said,"My level is average. Teacher Wu, don't laugh at me." Teacher Wu still had his signature smile as he said," You're welcome. I saw it just now. Your Go skills are not bad. Have you studied under any famous teachers in the past?"
I quickly said that I didn't. I read some chess records and didn't specifically learn it.
Teacher Wu looked at me and said," That's even more complicated. There are many mysteries and rules in Chinese chess. No matter how good an amateur player is, they can't be compared to a professional player. However, your chess is quite special. It doesn't seem like you were taught by an expert. It's more like you created it yourself."
It seemed that Teacher Wu was indeed an expert. He might have a good understanding of all the different schools of chess to be able to say such words.
I was still very respectful to such an expert. Although he was a little contemptuous of me, that was normal. After all, hobbies and other people's classes couldn't be compared. Moreover, I was cheating.
Thinking about how Teacher Wu was the Chinese chess champion, I was really in a difficult position. I didn't want to rely on cheating to win all the time. That would be too ostentatious, but if I lost, Chief Zhang and I might lose face. I weighed the pros and cons and decided that a draw was the best outcome.
I contacted the AI machine and requested that this match must be a draw. The AI machine said that it was fine.
The game began. My Shun Pao versus his Screen Horse. The beginning was very normal, and both sides moved smoothly.
I thought about it, even if we want to tie, we should first have the advantage and then sell some flaws. This way, Teacher Wu can keep her face, and President Zhang and I can have the upper hand. Yes, let's do it.
With that thought in mind, I began to launch a fierce attack under the guidance of the AI. The first few steps of Teacher Wu were still alright, but gradually, he couldn't hold on. He abandoned a carriage, a horse, and an elephant in succession. I only lost a cannon and a soldier. Moreover, many of my seeds had already crossed the river. Teacher Wu only had one horse hanging in the f * ck position. The other seeds were tired of defending. Without the cooperation of the other seeds, this horse seemed to be alone.
I now had a variety of offensive methods. Teacher Wu was obviously starting to feel a little embarrassed under the pressure. His forehead was also beginning to sweat. It seemed that he really cared about winning or losing.
Chief Zhang also smiled at the side. Chief Wang was a little embarrassed, and his smile was a little unnatural.
I think it's about time. I've achieved my goal. After three steps, I deliberately revealed a flaw, and the other party used a hanging leg to draw one of my cars.
I acted like it was a pity, as if I had really missed this step. Director Zhang felt a little regretful, but it did not matter. After all, the other party was the chess champion of the neighboring city. It was not a pity to lose.
CEO Wang let out a long sigh of relief and then smiled relaxedly. The rest of the game was very ordinary. We faced off against a car and a cannon. There were no mistakes on both sides. In the end, we shook hands and made peace. Everyone was happy.
Unknowingly, they had been playing this game for an hour. Including the previous two games, it was already six in the afternoon.
CEO Wang had instructed his assistant to prepare a sumptuous dinner in the restaurant of the teahouse.
I originally said that I had something to do at home and had to go home first, but President Zhang insisted on keeping me, so I couldn't refuse and had to go to the restaurant with him. This place was exceptionally luxurious. The table was already filled with dishes. I recognized king crabs, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, shark fin bibimbap, and many other dishes that I didn't recognize. The wine was Wuliang liquor. The dining table of the rich was indeed extraordinary. This is the first time I've eaten such a sumptuous meal in the real world.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone began to eat. I was really a little hungry, but I didn't eat too casually. After all, it was my first time meeting these rich people for a meal.
I recalled the scene of me having a meal in the Space-Time Domain. It felt almost the same as this. That place is too real. I wonder which one is the real world.
The cultural atmosphere of the Northeasterners at the wine table was really similar. They started to say some irrelevant New Year greetings. When they drank too much, they laughed loudly and fought alcohol lawsuits.
Soon, another person came. The manager of the teahouse was a beautiful and capable lady in her thirties. CEO Wang acted like a boss and asked the female supervisor to toast one by one. The female supervisor was also very open. It seemed that she was very used to this kind of scene. However, I was still not used to such a scene. Many times, I accompanied him in a slightly unnatural manner. I didn't speak or toast randomly.
I always felt that although Director Zhang was also joking with everyone, he was also paying attention to me. At ten o'clock in the evening, President Zhang and President Wang dismissed the banquet at the urging of their respective wives and made an appointment to meet again.
It was already very late. I wanted to take a taxi home, but President Zhang insisted that I take his Mercedes-Benz. The driver drove in front, and President Zhang and I sat in the back.
After driving, Director Zhang drank two mouthfuls of mineral water and said to me, Xiao Li, I feel that you have a story to tell. If I'm not wrong, you lost your car on purpose, right?
I smiled and didn't comment. I thought to myself that Director Zhang's chess skills were indeed good and definitely higher than mine. However, I couldn't tell him the truth. I could only pretend to smile profoundly.
Director Zhang continued," I want to make friends with you. I heard from Director Ma that you don't have an official job now and are filming Short videos by yourself. If you don't mind, come to the mall and help me. You can be Director Ma's assistant first." Get to know each other, and you'll receive the same treatment as him. Your working hours can be more flexible so that you won't be delayed from filming Short videos. As for the future, it depends on your ability. What do you think?
I didn't drink much. Actually, when CEO Zhang was observing me at the wine table, I had already expected this.
To be honest, I have a good impression of Director Zhang. I feel that if I can have a stable job first, it will also help me complete the mission of the concept of time and space.
Thinking of this, I said that I was very happy to be recognized by Director Zhang. I also wanted to try this job. If it's done well, I'll try my best to do it well. If it's not done well, I won't sit idly by.
President Zhang was very happy. He continued,"Then it's a deal. You can start work tomorrow."
Since I have this new job, I wanted to introduce Liu Xin here. But I'm new here and I don't want to make things difficult for CEO Zhang, so I can only talk about it later.
The next morning, I arrived at Director Zhang's office early. President Zhang was also very punctual. He arrived at the office before 8:30. When he saw me, he warmly welcomed me. He didn't assign me any work first, but rather, he was very considerate and chatted with me.
Although we only met once, President Zhang is a really good person. He talked about his history with me without any reservation.
President Zhang also started from scratch. In the early days, he had done renovation and worked as a small contractor. In the end, he found a bank loan and developed several real estate projects. Just as the real estate market was doing well, he went from being poor to having millions of dollars in two years. When talking about taking over the mall, President Zhang said with emotion that he also had his childhood plot. He especially hoped that he could manage it well, but physical stores were not easy to do now. Including the interest of bank loans, the mall had been losing money for two consecutive years. He didn't look for me because he wanted me to turn losses into profits. He just thought that I was a good person and wanted to make friends with me. As for chess, he said that it was just a hobby of his. He only wanted to find someone who was about the same level as him to play. If there was an expert, he would let me play. Usually, he didn't need to play chess with me and didn't like to play with me.
In his impression, my chess skills are far above his, and he doesn't want to be abused.
At this point, I blushed and smiled. In Director Zhang's eyes, I was being modest. Actually, I know that I'm guilty, but I can't tell him directly.
We chatted for a long time. Seeing that CEO Zhang was so practical, I also secretly decided to help CEO Zhang take care of the mall. However, as for how to take care of it, I still had no idea.
In the afternoon, I met with Director Ma again. This time, it was different from the last time. I was his deputy in name. He also knew that it was arranged by Director Zhang, so he didn't assign me any work. He just asked me to go around and understand. I can go back to work next week.
Although I have made some achievements in Short videos, I am still very satisfied with such a smooth job. After I got home, I told Liu Xin about this while filming a Short videos. I also told Director Zhang about it and asked him to go to work. I didn't expect Liu Xin to not think much of this. He refused to think about it and didn't agree to me immediately. I thought that he was arrogant and didn't take it to heart.
However, in the next few days, the situation was a little strange. Liu Xin was always absent-minded, as if he had a lot on his mind. I asked him, but he gave me all sorts of excuses.
On Saturday night, Wang Xinya called me and asked me directly what happened to Liu Xin.
I was completely confused. I asked her why she asked me that.
Only then did she say that Liu Xin had been acting very strangely these few days. He was no longer sticking to her like before and was also ignoring her. She had only said a few words to Liu Xin today, and Liu Xin had broken up with her without hesitation.
This time, I was also confused. Could it be that this kid has a newcomer outside? I comforted Wang Xinya and promised her to clarify the matter before hanging up the phone.
It's already very late. I didn't ask Liu Xin directly. I guessed that he would still use various reasons to avoid it. I directly entered the Space-Time Concept and found the intelligent replay device. I wanted to see what was wrong with Liu Xin, but the strange thing was that this machine couldn't play any images. The reason was that I didn't have the authority.
I could only find Brother Nine and Gao Shizi, but their answers were almost the same. They didn't know what happened, so they couldn't help.
I returned to the real world with my head full of doubts. Thinking about the current situation, it seems that I can only rely on myself. It's too late now. I have to ask Liu Xin tomorrow, even if it means torturing him.
The next morning, just as I woke up, Liu Xin sent me a WeChat message saying that he had a friend who opened a company in the south and asked him to go over and help. He would go and explore the way first and come back to recruit me after the development was done. The more I heard, the more it sounded like MLM. I quickly called to ask what was going on, but his phone was turned off.
I went to Liu Xin's house again. Liu Xin's parents said that Liu Xin had been saying that a friend had set up a company in the south and asked him to go over. At first, we advised him to investigate again, but he didn't listen. He kept saying that he couldn't stay in the countryside all the time. We thought about it and agreed. He took the train last night and left. We asked him why he didn't say hello to you. He said that he had finished talking to you a long time ago, and we didn't care. We only found out today that he didn't tell you at all.
After saying that, Liu Xin's parents also started to call Liu Xin. The result was the same, his phone was turned off.
Everything was too strange. After comforting Liu Xin's parents, I immediately returned home and entered the Yuan Universe to see where Liu Xin had gone. The result was the same. There was no news. This was too strange. I had no choice but to leave the universe.
I'll call Wang Xinya first and tell her that Liu Xin should be fine. Liu Xin should be in the south now. When he comes back later, I'll definitely teach him a good lesson. I didn't know how to persuade people, and I didn't want to lie to Wang Xinya. After saying a few more words, I hung up the phone in a hurry.
In the next few days, I kept thinking about Liu Xin, but I still had no clue. Without Liu Xin, my Short videos production gradually stopped. I seemed to understand Zi Gong's words, but the Meta-Universe didn't find out the reason. Zi Gong probably couldn't tell me either. Fortunately, I have a new job now. For the convenience of work, I rented a one-bedroom apartment near the mall. After saying goodbye to my parents, I returned to my previous working state.
