Chapter 1490 Accidental Encounter with Bai Ling
Hearing this, Chen Xuan was very sure that this World Tree was more cunning than a monkey when it came to hair. It knew when to be tough, when to be soft, and when to play tricks. How could this guy's intelligence be so high?
The World Tree thought Chen Xuan was unwilling: "Chen Xuan, don't push your luck. I've already made a concession."
Since things had come to this, there was no point in Chen Xuan saying more; it wouldn't change anything. He could only strive for the greatest benefit now. "I can provide you with energy, but whenever I need to use my Nascent Soul power, or need your help, you must act without hesitation."
World Tree: Agreed!
Chen Xuan had reached a cooperation with the World Tree and had also figured out the reason for his body's condition. What made him even happier was that although Chen Xuan didn't have a Nascent Soul like ordinary people, his Nascent Soul power was extraordinary. It could even resist the karma fire, which was a heavenly fire containing the will of the Heavenly Dao. In any case, it was a gain from a loss.
Moreover, Chen Xuan felt that this World Tree might bring him great help. As for providing energy to the World Tree, the World Tree had merged with his Nascent Soul. Providing energy to the World Tree was the same as providing energy to his own Nascent Soul, which was something he should do. In short, he had no loss in this deal!
Furthermore, Chen Xuan discovered another benefit through communication with his Nascent Soul: he no longer needed to cultivate. As long as he provided enough energy to the World Tree, he could break through his cultivation realm. Speaking of benefits, let's talk about the drawbacks. The energy required for each breakthrough was unknown even to the World Tree. Simply put, it required a lot and lot of energy...
As for things containing energy, they were mostly heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and objects from outer space meteorites. These things were extremely expensive, which had been confirmed long ago. At this moment, Chen Xuan seemed to see a bottomless pit.
A few days later, Chen Xuan, having arranged to meet Jiang Ning to discuss how to deal with the Ge family in the capital, drove to Xuanyun Group early in the morning after breakfast. It didn't take long for him to arrive at Xuanyun Group.
As soon as he arrived at Xuanyun Group, Chen Xuan suddenly spotted a familiar face – Bai Ling, the team leader of the first team in the Public Relations Department of Huanghai Group. Why was she here?
As he was thinking, Bai Ling suddenly looked over. Chen Xuan quickly lowered his head. Bai Ling seemed to find Chen Xuan's figure familiar and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. Soon, she shook her head. A man walked over and greeted Bai Ling.
Bai Ling immediately withdrew her gaze and focused all her attention on the man who had just walked over. The moment this man saw Bai Ling, he was instantly attracted by Bai Ling's appearance and figure, making him feel as if he was seeing his first love, taking him back to that pure and vibrant era.
Chen Xuan approached discreetly, wanting to hear why Bai Ling was here. Bai Ling smiled and said, "Minister Lin, I am Bai Ling from the Public Relations Department of Huanghai Group. You should know about the recent incident at Huanghai Group. Many of my colleagues in the Public Relations Department are unsettled. We heard that Xuanyun Group is planning to establish a second Public Relations Department, so we want to ask if Huanghai Group can be accepted?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression immediately became strange. So Bai Ling was here at Xuanyun Group looking for a job? What if she discovered he wasn't dead?
But soon, Chen Xuan was relieved. He was just a figurehead at Xuanyun Group and didn't come even once a month. Even if Bai Ling joined Xuanyun Group, she might not be able to see him.
"The Public Relations Department of Huanghai Group is full of beauties, and their business skills are all very impressive. I am very willing, but we can discuss the specific details further. Why don't we go to the conference room to talk first?" The Minister Lin from the Human Resources Department said with a smile, his gaze sweeping up and down Bai Ling's delicate body, especially her long legs below the pencil skirt, lingering for a long time.
Bai Ling was too familiar with such gazes. She felt disgusted, but she also knew that any man would look. She quickly said, "Minister Lin, let's talk in the office."
Minister Lin immediately withdrew his gaze, extended his hand, and appeared quite polite: "Miss Bai, please come this way."
Bai Ling took a step forward. Minister Lin, on the other hand, made a phone call: "There's an important guest coming later. Prepare a cup of coffee for me, a cappuccino!"
From the other end of the phone, a woman's mischievous laughter came: "Minister Lin, don't worry. I will make all the arrangements. I'll ensure that Minister Lin not only entertains this guest well but also gets to 'eat meat'."
After hanging up the phone, Minister Lin showed a cold smile. The woman on the phone was a female supervisor in the pantry. Minister Lin from the Human Resources Department had hired her. When hiring, he had sexually harassed the female supervisor. Although the female supervisor had prepared to report him, she was swayed by Minister Lin's "sugar-coated bullets" and became a tool for Minister Lin's misdeeds. Usually, this female supervisor would serve tea and water for Minister Lin to entertain special guests. As for the cappuccino, it was a code word for the female supervisor to drug the guests. Within a period of time after joining Xuanyun Group, they had sexually harassed no less than ten female employees. Xuanyun Group was good, and many people chose to remain silent for the sake of their jobs. Because of this, Minister Lin became more daring. Although Bai Ling was excellent, she had lost her job. He seized the opportunity and prepared to make a move on Lin Xue.
Chen Xuan, who was not far away, felt something was strange but couldn't quite pinpoint it. Just then, Jiang Ning called, saying he had finished his meeting and would come to pick Chen Xuan up. However, Chen Xuan refused, saying he would find Jiang Ning himself. It was this phone call that interrupted Chen Xuan's grim thoughts.
Chen Xuan took the elevator and quickly arrived at Jiang Ning's office. "Mr. Chen!" As soon as he saw Chen Xuan, Jiang Ning shook Chen Xuan's hand, looking very excited. He hadn't seen Chen Xuan since they last had dinner together. "Jiang Ning, it must be very tough for you to manage such a large enterprise." Chen Xuan was also very grateful to Jiang Ning. If it weren't for Jiang Ning, how could Xuanyun Group have developed to its current state with such a large operation without him putting in any effort?
"It's not tough; I find it quite interesting." Warriors are very obsessed with martial arts manuals. Even if they practice diligently every day and endure hardships, they won't complain. Jiang Ning simply enjoys his work, building Xuanyun Group into a powerful entity step by step, much like a nurturing game. "Then let's get down to business. I'm here today to discuss how to deal with the Ge family." Chen Xuan went straight to the point, not wanting to waste time, as Jiang Ning was quite busy, attending over ten meetings a day. Jiang Ning's expression also turned serious: "The Ge family in the capital is not easy to deal with. I've been investigating them recently, and the more I investigate, the more I'm shocked..." "Is the Ge family very strong?" Chen Xuan frowned. In Chen Xuan's opinion, the Ge family was indeed very strong, but after Xuanyun Group took over most of the assets of the Su family in the capital, dealing with the Ge family should not be a problem.
