Chapter 90 Wind Direction

Round-faced girl?

Upon hearing this description, Wei Hongsi's heart stirred. In Mu Jie's latest dream interpretation narrative fragment, a round-faced young man appeared, and he also had the identity of a "student," so he was particularly sensitive to these keywords.

So I asked, "How old is that round-faced girl? Does she have long hair?"

"He should be a little younger than me," Yuan Zhenhui said after thinking for a moment. "His hair is the kind of bob that's neither long nor short."

"Oh." Wei Hongsi nodded.

"Why do you care about this?" Yuan Zhenhui asked curiously.

"Just asking," Wei Hongsi made up an excuse. "I thought everyone attending your sharing session was a working professional. When I heard there was a girl, I thought she was a student. I must have misunderstood."

"Younger women can all be called 'girls,' right?" Yuan Zhenhui was a little unsure after hearing that.

"Of course," Wei Hongsi said with great certainty.

The meaning of the term "girl" has become increasingly broad. It's no longer just an abbreviation for female student; basically, any woman under thirty can use this term. Even those over thirty can certainly use it if they still consider themselves young.

Wei Hongsi's question was certainly not casual; otherwise, he wouldn't have paid attention to the length of the girl's hair. But it was also just a casual question: if that round-faced girl really was the "young person" Mu Jie had seen in the "safe house," wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?

However, Yuan Zhenhui's words served as a reminder to him.

In the dream narrative fragments about young people, there is no explicit statement about their gender; the term "short hair" alone is insufficient to determine their gender. Moreover, "short hair" is a relative concept, and the standard is not the same for men and women.

"At the sharing session I attended, the participants didn't introduce themselves, reveal their specific jobs, or exchange contact information; they only contacted the host." Yuan Zhenhui smiled somewhat embarrassedly. "So I gave each person a simple title to make it easier to remember them."

"I see." Wei Hongsi nodded. "That sounds quite interesting."

This offline communication method is indeed very suitable for people who are not good at socializing. Not revealing names or occupations maintains a sense of mystery and provides a sense of security; not contacting them after the event avoids any additional psychological burden.

"It's really interesting, so everyone is very enthusiastic. Even if you don't develop any special skills, at least you can relax. It's just a pity I can't go tonight." Yuan Zhenhui said with a look of regret on his face.

Wei Hongsi had only asked casually, but after hearing his words, she couldn't help but think more about it and asked, "Why did that round-faced girl miss two such an interesting activity?"

"Maybe something's wrong? Who knows?" Yuan Zhenhui shook his head.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

Was she there when you first participated in the event?

"Yes, I'm here."

"When you saw her the second time, were there any new people involved?"

Yuan Zhenhui thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, that was 'Honey Badger's' first time here. How did you know?"

"Just a guess," Wei Hongsi smiled slightly. "Making more new friends is a way to get training."

"That makes sense," Yuan Zhenhui nodded.

The two ate and chatted. Yuan Zhenhui had already finished eating, but Wei Hongsi still had a little bit left on his plate.

Seeing that Yuan Zhenhui remained seated, Wei Hongsi said, "You don't need to wait for me."

"It's nothing, I just finished eating and am resting for a bit," Yuan Zhenhui said with a self-deprecating laugh. "Even oxen and horses need to catch their breath."

Wei Hongsi stopped trying to persuade him, and after finishing their meal, he and Yuan Zhenhui put their plates in the collection area and then walked out.

As the two reached the door, they encountered Ji Yongsheng, Gu Shiming, and Qian Jiayu walking inside.

Yuan Zhenhui recognized the three company bigwigs, but they didn't recognize him, so he moved to the side to make way for the central passage.

"President Ji, President Gu, President Qian." Wei Hongsi naturally couldn't just slip away like that, so he greeted the three of them.

Yuan Zhenhui had already left the restaurant when he heard Wei Hongsi speak. He clicked his tongue, stopped, and looked back, intending to remind him later that it was unnecessary.

Ji Yongsheng smiled and said, "Finished eating? How about we eat some more?"

Wei Hongsi knew that the three of them must have something to say while eating together, so he didn't hesitate to join in. He smiled and said, "I'm too full, I don't have room in my stomach."

Gu Shiming asked, "Are you working overtime again tonight?"

Wei Hongsi said, "I won't add any more. I'm going back to rest early."

Qian Jiayu laughed and said, "That's good. If you keep working overtime, we won't be able to take it."

Yuan Zhenhui watched this scene with great surprise, only then realizing that Wei Hongsi wasn't just making empty greetings. The three executives' response was clearly not just polite; the fact that they stopped to chat with Wei Hongsi for a few minutes indicated that they were quite familiar with him and that they seemed to have a good relationship.

No wonder He Feng was much more polite to Wei Hongsi than to himself; he must have already learned something about the situation.

After Wei Hongsi officially joined the company, he was made things difficult by He Feng. Yuan Zhenhui could easily see through such tricks, which is why he thought Wei Hongsi had "left".

It now seems that He Feng has shot himself in the foot.

Yuan Zhenhui thought to himself with a hint of schadenfreude. But then he realized that even if He Feng was unlucky, it wouldn't do him any good, and he lost interest.

After exchanging a few words with the three men, Wei Hongsi left the restaurant.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhenhui followed, intending to ask Wei Hongsi for help in switching him to another group. But then he thought better of it; the two weren't familiar with each other, and besides, he couldn't very well ask President Gu to handle such a matter, could he?

Even after Wei Hongsi said goodbye and left in front of the main building lobby, Yuan Zhenhui didn't say a word.

Meanwhile, Ji Yongsheng, Gu Shiming, and Qian Jiayu went to a small private room on the third floor of the restaurant to eat and discuss matters.

The food they ate was no different from the dishes served in the main hall, except that it was served on small plates instead of large platters.

Qian Jiayu said, "The investigation team's work is basically complete, but the results haven't been released yet, which means the case investigation isn't over. However, our report has been approved, and the main responsibility does not lie with our company; that's for sure."

"The result is in line with our expectations," Ji Yongsheng nodded. "In that case, we can finalize our internal decisions first, without necessarily announcing everything. I think the job adjustments should be prioritized; otherwise, many tasks will be affected. What are your opinions?"

"I have no objection," Gu Shiming said. "In addition, I think we shouldn't wait any longer regarding the evaluation standards; we can pilot the enterprise standards internally first."
