Chapter 143: Wei Xueying's Gift

Holding the Star Shadow in the palm of his hand, Hua Tianyu smiled faintly. The gift was finally completed!

His complexion, which had been somewhat pale from the exhaustion of his energy, slowly began to return to normal.

Opening the door, he found Cui Quan holding a rubber baton, looking anxiously outside the doorway.

Seeing Hua Tianyu emerge, Cui Quan finally relaxed.

"Everything alright, Brother Tian?" Cui Quan asked.

"Yes, thank you!" Hua Tianyu patted Cui Quan's shoulder in gratitude. "You go back to your work."

Watching Cui Quan leave the security office, Hua Tianyu put the Star Shadow into his pocket and strolled leisurely toward the president's private elevator.

Stepping out of the elevator, Hua Tianyu saw Liang Hui holding a stack of documents as she came out of another elevator.

Hua Tianyu smiled slightly and made a polite gesture inviting Liang Hui to go first. Liang Hui, however, ignored him, glared at him angrily, and stopped in her tracks.

Since Liang Hui was unwilling to walk ahead, Hua Tianyu didn't stand on ceremony with her. He walked straight into the president's office, and only after he sat down on the sofa did he hear Liang Hui's knock on the door.

"Come in." Wei Xueying raised her head and saw the two of them.

"Hua Tianyu, where did you go this morning after that?" Wei Xueying asked.

"I went to hide from that chick Han Yan. She is just too terrifying!" Hua Tianyu sighed and said.

Wei Xueying rolled her eyes dramatically at him. *How on earth could I not see a single trace of how terrifying she is to you?*

*It seems like you haven't suffered a single loss at her hands, while she has taken quite a few beatings at yours!*

Thinking of the way Han Yan had been pinned against the wall by Hua Tianyu, Wei Xueying shook her head repeatedly and said, "You should bully Han Yan less in the future. She is actually a very nice person!"

Hua Tianyu opened his eyes wide with exaggerated shock. "Such a violent chick, and you say she is a very nice person? Xueying, surely you must have some strange misunderstanding of the word 'nice'?"

Wei Xueying took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling heavily. *This guy—when it comes to talking, it is simply impossible to outargue him!*

"Xueying, there is something I need to report to you," Hua Tianyu said.

"Later on, I had another in-depth and friendly conversation with Green-Hair and his gang, and I learned that behind them is an organization called the 'Senluo Temple', which has set its sights on our Swan Group."

"Both the theft incident last time and Green-Hair coming over to cause trouble this time were tricks orchestrated by them from behind the scenes." Hua Tianyu deliberately glossed over his visit to Jiang Liliang, because that matter involved a few human lives, and Han Yan, that chick, was Wei Xueying's best friend; he also wanted to avoid bringing trouble upon himself from the police of Shangjiang City.

As for Jiang Liliang, the palm-strike he delivered had long since carried a concealed internal force. Before long, Jiang Liliang wouldn't even be able to speak—he would be reduced to a vegetable!

A vegetable who was still conscious!

However, Hua Tianyu hadn't anticipated that Wan Rong would appear later and silence Jiang Liliang. After all, he wasn't a god, so at this moment, he still assumed Jiang Liliang had breath left in him.

"Senluo Temple? What kind of organization is this?" Wei Xueying's face showed doubt, and she then looked toward Liang Hui.

"Sister Liang, do you know about it?"

Liang Hui had been standing quietly to the side, listening silently to the conversation between the two. Although she was a bit older than Wei Xueying, this "Senluo Temple" was something she was hearing about for the first time as well.

"I'm not clear about it, but judging by the name alone, it doesn't sound like anything good!" Liang Hui furrowed her brows, seeming to feel a natural sense of aversion toward those words.

"I estimate that this Senluo Temple must be quite mysterious, and for now, there are no clues. Based on my analysis, their primary target is likely still the company's Perfect Gene Evolution Technology," Hua Tianyu said.

Pausing for a moment, Hua Tianyu continued, "Therefore, the company's security recruitment needs to be completed as soon as possible!"

Wei Xueying nodded and looked at Liang Hui.

Liang Hui replied, "President Wei, rest assured, the recruitment notice has already been issued, and as Manager Hua requested, it specifically notes that veterans are given priority. However, after the recruitment notice goes out, it still takes time to circulate, so I have scheduled the recruitment date for three days from now."

"Alright, thank you, Sister Liang!" Wei Xueying said.

"Don't worry, President Wei. Given the reputation of our Swan Group in Shangjiang City, there certainly won't be a shortage of people coming to apply. I believe we will definitely be able to recruit satisfactory security personnel!" Liang Hui was still very confident when it came to matters of recruitment.

"Oh, by the way, President Wei, regarding the recruitment, I have one more suggestion." As Liang Hui said this, her eyes turned toward Hua Tianyu.

Hua Tianyu suddenly had a bad feeling, as if some strange trouble was about to stick to his hands again.

"Let's hear it," Wei Xueying signaled for Liang Hui to continue.

"As the initiator of this recruitment and the manager of the security department, I believe Manager Hua must be present at the scene during the recruitment."

Wei Xueying immediately understood Liang Hui's meaning and said, "That makes sense. Hua Tianyu must participate in the recruitment!"

Hua Tianyu: "I..."

"Shut up!" Wei Xueying and Liang Hui said in unison.

Hua Tianyu: "..."

Is there still any human rights left in the Swan Group? I just wanted to make a suggestion and I'm not even allowed? Don't you know that preventing the people from speaking is more dangerous than blocking a river?

To actually force me to sit at the recruitment site, you two are truly... Sigh, don't you know that a forced melon is not sweet!

Forget it, forget it, your big brother here is destined to be a willing workhorse!

I can't be bothered to argue with you two!

"Hua Tianyu, regarding the matter of you having to participate in the recruitment, it's settled. Do you have anything else?" A smile flashed across Wei Xueying's face. This could also be considered a disguised form of revenge for her good friend!

*You guy, all you want to do is slack off day in and day out, and I just won't let you slack off!*

Wei Xueying thought to herself.

"There is one more thing. I'm worried that if the Senluo Temple keeps failing to achieve its goals, they might shift their target to you, the president!" Hua Tianyu said.

Wei Xueying's face turned cold; obviously, she also felt that what Hua Tianyu said made sense. But immediately afterward, her expression returned to normal as she said coldly, "I'm not afraid. I refuse to believe these people will ultimately succeed!"

Hua Tianyu took the Star Shadow out of his pocket and said, "I accidentally obtained this amulet during a certain mission. I'm afraid something might happen to you, Madam President, so I plan to give this amulet to you!"

*An amulet, for me?* A warm feeling welled up in Wei Xueying's heart. Although she was constantly infuriated by Hua Tianyu, he was truly concerned about her safety.

Moreover, even though this amulet was merely symbolic in meaning, it was still far better than useless things like roses or little stuffed bears!

"Well, thank you!" Wei Xueying said.

Liang Hui, standing to the side, let out a soft snort from her nose and said with disdain, "Humph! Clearly it's the Qixi Festival, and he just wants to give a gift to butter up President Wei, yet he comes up with so many excuses!"
