The Weird Life Game: Starting as a Department Head

Chapter 17 Trading

Upon hearing this news, Xu Hang's mind went blank for a moment.

What's scarier than your parents going to the hospital?

Your parents went to the hospital without telling you.

"I was neither hunted nor..."

He instinctively tried to refute, but then he cut himself off.

Seeing that Xu Hang realized he had said the wrong thing, the voice on the phone chuckled softly:

"Yes, your luck hasn't dropped at all, but misfortune is everywhere in this world."

Some people have a smooth life, but when they get older, they may suddenly encounter misfortune.

Some people have bad luck in the first half of their lives, but end up having a happy second half.

The world's fortunes are inherently constant; the strange game merely gives you the opportunity to influence them, but it's not without a solution.

You just need to accept your fate and regard both good and bad luck as an inescapable destiny. Just go with the flow and don't try to change your destiny no matter what happens to your family.

That way, no one can control you, my dear father.

Xu Hang had to admit three things.

First, the 49th person's voice is really nice, but what they say is really disgusting.

Secondly, he was really worried about what the forty-ninth person said.

Third, he began to seriously consider the task.

"Lu Tingxue is very important to my reinstatement, and I will not let her lose her luster."

If you really want to cooperate with me, you should offer terms that I can accept.

"Of course you can. That was just an example. Dad, you were just too nervous."

The first task is simple: until Lu Tingxue's matter is resolved, stay at the company temporarily and don't go home.

"...Why?"

This task was nothing to Xu Hang, but he couldn't understand why the other party would ask him to do something that seemed meaningless.

Although the cafeteria at Warm Winter Bank is temporarily closed for some reasons, it has a full range of facilities.

Not to mention bathrooms, there are even dedicated bathhouses.

Although there is no restroom in his current office, a public restroom is just a few steps away around the corner.

"A great man who wants to achieve great things cannot indulge in the pleasures of love. You two live under the same roof, a man and a woman alone, full of youthful vigor."

Before long, the fake couple will become a real couple, and they'll be seeing each other every day, feeling anxious and uneasy.

"Do you still have the intention to do anything?"

Xu Hang had rarely been so speechless. After a few seconds of silence, he said with concern:

"I'm right outside the hospital. If all else fails, I can get you an appointment with a psychiatrist. There's a specialist consultation today."

"No, no, I'm taking my medication... Anyway, just tell me if you're going to do it or not?"

"make a deal."

Xu Hang sighed and continued:

"I have one more condition: don't call me Dad anymore, call me Darling from now on."

"...If all else fails, you should go see a psychiatrist. When I heard the first part of that sentence, I thought you were finally disgusted by me."

"I will remember this fresh disgust."

"...Okay, darling, the day Sister Wanqing found out about us and came to our door with a knife, I was the first to surrender."

Xu Hang didn't know why he did it, but he felt that if he didn't disgust the other party, he would feel like he had lost.

His impulsive and uninformed actions are proof that he is still young.

Later, he got back into his car, and Shen Yao drove him back to the company.

Upon returning to the company, he went straight to the vice president's office, where he happened to bump into a young man who exuded the air of an elite high-ranking official.

"Go inside, the bank manager is waiting for your explanation."

The other person smiled slightly at Xu Hang, as if gloating.

Xu Hang didn't recognize him either, so he ignored him and went inside, then closed the door.

In the office, the vice president looked at Xu Hang as he walked in, without any surprise.

"Have a seat, I've been waiting for you."

"There are no problems with Lu Tingxue. I contacted her director on my way back. In today's internet age, slander against a minor artist can be easily dealt with and won't cause much of a stir."

Xu Hang first gave an explanation, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

But his explanation did not satisfy the vice president.

"If she can't make a splash, it means she's completely unknown, and you've made the wrong investment. It would be better if she could generate some buzz."

Currently, some public opinion is pointing the finger at Qingwu Media, and Qingwu Media may sacrifice you, their old classmate, at any time to get rid of the negative impact.

"Haven't she been sacrificed yet?"

"In my opinion, it'll be soon."

Faced with the vice president's decision, Xu Hang shook his head:

"Bank manager, this is just a small matter. Without the cold winter and snow, how can plum blossoms bloom on the branches? In fact, I have a video recording of the entire thank-you event."

Xu Hang took out his phone; this was a copy he had made while checking the camera.

"You don't need to watch the whole thing. I'll show you a few clips so you can get a better understanding of her."

The vice president began watching with some skepticism.

He saw Lu Tingxue at the beginning, playing in the background without any post-production background sound, which proved that she had a good foundation.

Then she walked out and immediately stole everyone's attention.

The vice president's expression gradually changed.

"This girl does have some merits, but..."

He sighed:

"To be honest with you, the credit department doesn't want you to go back at all right now, and even wants to kick you out of Warm Winter Bank completely."

Your project is now at risk.

"I am determined."

Xu Hang responded quickly, slamming his hand on the table, startling the vice president.

"If you're so determined, why are you slamming your fist on the table?"

"Manager, I'm not going home until this project is finished."

Xu Hang argued emphatically:

"From now on, that office will be my home. I'll start sleeping at the company tonight. I'm going to buy a bed in a bit."

"Didn't you just get married not long ago?"

The vice president looked Xu Hang up and down, sensing something was off.

"Family is not as important as company."

Xu Hang's words were vehement.

"Actually, there's no need..."

"My mind is made up. Who's the leader, you or me?"

"Of course... no, I'm the boss!"

"Please approve, boss!"

Looking at the child he had personally nurtured, the deputy bank manager sighed.

"Alright, you don't need to buy a bed. The company has departments that often need to be in closed development, and all kinds of daily necessities are available in the warehouse."

I'll approve a set for you in a bit, and someone will deliver it to you soon.

Your old office was bigger and better equipped, but Ye Chu is using it, so it's not appropriate to ask him to move out, especially since you haven't been reinstated yet.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hang's fighting spirit soared even higher:

"In this way, I will lack nothing."

Sure enough, not long after Xu Hang returned to his office, a worker came to confirm the requirements.

Soon, all sorts of household furniture were moved into the office.

Tables, chairs, and folding beds that can be folded into sofas.

There was even a clothes rack and two basins of towels.

The once quiet and desolate place suddenly became more lively.
