Chapter 259

2011/ 1/ 28

The afternoon of the next day.

In the morning, Ling Zhan was called by Menglong to help pay the hospital bills (after a period of hard work, Ling Zhan has become financially independent).

What Ling Zhan never expected was that the woman was not seriously injured, but the fees she had to pay were not cheap. Looking at the wallet in his hand that was once bulging but now had very little money left, he couldn't help but groan secretly, feeling a little distressed.

Well, what about the money that Stark got for his project?

Like he said before, he only took out a portion of the money to unlock Tornado, and all the profits were donated to charity projects (this was done by Stark himself, so there was no need to worry about the money being deducted at various levels or not being actually used).

Li Xing came back very quickly at that time, and she did not erase the memory of that woman.

Although according to common sense, it is not necessary to forcibly clear the memory, but usually, for reasons of their own safety and other factors, most Lord of the Rings wizards will choose to clear the memories of those present (after all, in that kind of scenario, there are often only Hora, the knight and the Lord of the Rings wizard left).

Ling Zhan is too lazy to care about Menglong's affairs now. He and Li Xing received a notice from Lady Dragon that they are here for a mission.

This mission seemed strange. It was exactly the same as the previous one, and did not provide very detailed and clearly targeted specific content.

"Tell me, how are we going to find this Hora this time?"

Li Xing shook her head, indicating that she had no idea either.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "I have no idea either. I need to go collect information first. As for you, just stay home and complete the trial!"

Upon hearing the word "trial", the energetic Ling Zhan suddenly became like an eggplant hit by frost, and said in a pleading tone: "Master Li Xing, can you please postpone my trial for a while?"

"No~No!"

Li Xing shook her index finger and refused without hesitation!

Ling Zhan sighed helplessly, muttering: "Ah... okay..."

Then he slumped down in a chair beside him like a deflated ball, looking listless.

The trial that Li Xing mentioned was a special magical tool carefully crafted by Lady Dragon and other ring mages and ring forgers.

This magical device allows the Lord of the Rings Knight's consciousness to enter it and simulate the real body for training. The entire trial has a total of five levels, and the difficulty increases step by step.

Ling Zhan has only passed two levels so far, and it will be difficult for him to pass the remaining trials without wearing armor.

Zero and his friends have some too, but they are basically alone, so they can usually only use this kind of magic tool for trials in the dog house.

Zero's progress is the same as Ling Zhan's, but Raptors and his friends are stuck at the second level.

But what Li Xing said was right. After all, she was much more professional than herself in collecting intelligence.

At this moment, in the absence of necessary intelligence and clues, he would undoubtedly be more likely to run into obstacles than Li Xing, and might even run around like a headless fly.

"Adel, sit here."

A middle-aged man pointed to an armchair.

Adel sat down respectfully.

The middle-aged man was from a higher-up position, and he was called over today.

Adel secretly speculated in his heart that perhaps it was because of the Liu Jie incident.

However, the exact situation needs further observation.

But reality soon gave him the answer.

"Something happened to Liu Jie, and the police can't find out what happened. If our company hadn't used some special means to intervene, this would have caused considerable losses to the company."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man did not seem to expect Adel to respond. He just kept telling the story. Adel tactfully took a bottle of red wine and poured it for the man.

The middle-aged man took the glass, gently swirled the red wine in it, and continued, "The position of manager is currently vacant, and the entire company intends to select a person with sufficient qualifications and rich experience from within, and give him strong support and let him take over the position. I came here this time to see if there is a suitable candidate."

"I don't know..."

The middle-aged man said bluntly: "I think you are very good. I have learned about the planning scheme for that project. It was obviously your work, but in the end Liu Jie took it for personal gain and turned your achievements into the credit of others. I have read your plan and it is very good. Considering all factors, I think you have the ability and qualities required to be a manager. You are the most suitable candidate."

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Adel was stunned at first, and then a smile of surprise and joy immediately blossomed on his face. He was so excited that he even stuttered. "Really? I, I am honored!"

He simply couldn't believe what he heard. Although he had sensed a hint of it from the man's subsequent words, he was extremely excited when the man said those words himself.

"Of course, what do you think?"

The man smiled slightly, elegantly picked up the wine glass on the table, gently took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then turned his gaze back to Adel, his eyes revealing an elusive meaning.

"I think you are right!"

“Hahahahaha…” the man laughed heartily. “In a sense, you can be considered a veteran employee of our company, and with your abilities and experience, you are indeed very suitable for this position. Work hard, you have a bright future!”

After saying that, the man stood up, patted Adel on the shoulder, and turned to walk towards the door.

Adel watched the man's back as he left until he completely disappeared from his sight.

At this moment, he was still immersed in great joy and unable to extricate himself, his eyes flashing with excitement, and a strange but obvious joy appeared on his face.

"Let's find a food that suits our appetite to celebrate tonight."

Adel stood in Liu Jie's office, looking at the employees outside. To him, it was like looking down from a high vantage point.

At this moment, these employees are like a group of hard-working livestock, working hard to create value for the company, or his meal. Only in this way can they have a perfect life!!!
