"Fourth, the Logistics Department," Li Muge said solemnly. "This department isn't as simple as it seems. If you're callous and carefree, it's very leisurely. But if you have a sense of responsibility, it will be exhausting."
"Who's the Director?" Wu Tian asked.
"The Director? We don't have one yet," Li Muge replied, shaking her head as she looked at him.
"Then I'll take the position," Wu Tian said. Starting a new job as a Director wasn't too bad.
"You? Are you sure?" Li Muge looked at Wu Tian with an even stranger expression, as if there was something amiss with the position.
But Wu Tian was fearless. In the Immortal Emperor Realm, he had single-handedly fought against the seven great immortal sects. Having done something so insane, what else was there to fear?
"I'm certain," Wu Tian nodded.
"Fine, then follow me." Li Muge knew that once Wu Tian set his mind to something, not even ten bulls could pull him back. She had no choice but to take him to the Logistics Department.
The Logistics Department occupied the entire seventh floor. As they stepped out of the elevator, they saw that all the staff at their posts were bustling with activity.
"Everyone, hold on a moment," Li Muge said, looking at the busy crowd and coughing lightly.
The mere sound of her cough seemed capable of turning men into beasts. In an instant, every head turned, the men's eyes gleaming. Li Muge's mature figure was irresistibly seductive.
Li Muge announced, "This is Wu Tian, your new Director. I hope you will all assist him and work hard together. Now, let's welcome him with a round of applause."
A thunderous applause erupted.
Among the crowd, a young woman stared at Wu Tian, her large eyes shining as if she had just spotted some priceless treasure.
Li Muge waved her hand, and the applause ceased. "Your Director is new here. Who among you is willing to show him the ropes?"
Everyone fell silent. No one wanted to do it, viewing it as a chore. As for getting on the new Director's good side, they didn't see the need. To them, the Director of the Logistics Department was simply not on the same level as the directors of other departments.
Li Muge's brows knitted slightly. Showing a hint of displeasure, she was about to speak when a pleasant, crisp voice suddenly rang out. "I'll show him around."
Upon hearing the voice, Wu Tian couldn't help but look in its direction, only to see a graceful figure brimming with a spirited and refreshing presence. A beauty, and a campus belle at that.
It was none other than Liang Qingren, whom Wu Tian had met before in the flower shop. Strange, doesn't she work at the flower shop? Wu Tian wondered.
Seeing Liang Qingren volunteer, Li Muge simply nodded and said, "Alright, then show your Director around and get him acquainted with the work."
Turning to Wu Tian, Li Muge whispered, "Remember, you're a father. Don't get involved with this so-called campus belle and complicate things. If you ever feel the need, you can come to me."
"..." Wu Tian felt stifled. Wasn't Li Muge underestimating him a bit too much?
Little did he know, Li Muge was genuinely worried. Liang Qingren was a campus belle of humble origins, which meant that countless men, wealthy or not, wanted to pursue her. Given Liang Qingren's charm, Li Muge was concerned that Wu Tian might become infatuated as well.
At that moment, Wu Tian was indeed looking at Liang Qingren, but not primarily because of her beauty. He was just relieved that he had finally found someone he could ask about the Martial Path in this city.
Liang Qingren, however, hadn't expected Wu Tian to stare at her so intently under everyone's watchful eyes. A blush bloomed across her lovely face, making her appear even more enchanting. Meanwhile, the other men, seeing Wu Tian boldly staring at their Logistics Department's once-in-a-century goddess, wished they could charge forward and bite him to death.
To put it another way, if looks could kill, an untold number of people would have dropped dead around him by now.
After a moment, however, Liang Qingren understood. Wu Tian was looking at her as if she were an object, not a person. Is my beauty truly of no use against this man? she thought, feeling crestfallen.
Seeing Wu Tian continuously staring at Liang Qingren, Li Muge grew unhappy and coughed pointedly. "Wu Tian, this is a company. There are some things you can't do here, understand?"
Hearing Li Muge's words, Wu Tian immediately withdrew his gaze and nodded.
At that moment, Liang Qingren also mustered her courage, walked up to Wu Tian with a sweet smile, and politely extended her hand. "Director, it's a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to working under your guidance."
Wu Tian smiled, extending his own hand for a brief handshake before quickly and gentlemanly withdrawing it.
Li Muge breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Liang Qingren, on the other hand, was taken aback. Other men who shook her hand would try to hold on for as long as possible, but Wu Tian was different.
Suddenly, she remembered the day she had told her grandmother about Wu Tian—how she had seen a man send Qin Yujie flying with almost no effort. Her grandmother had been shocked and uttered four characters: "Innate Expert?"
Liang Qingren still remembered her grandmother's astonished expression, a look of disbelief she had never seen before. Her normally calm and kind grandmother had gripped her hand tightly. "Girl, you really saw that person? Do you know who he is? Do you have his contact information?"
Her grandmother had bombarded her with questions the entire night. Liang Qingren had never imagined the words "Innate Expert" could hold such power.
Initially, she thought she would never see the man from the flower shop again, but unexpectedly, she met him again today.
I have to bring him back for Grandmother to see, Liang Qingren thought to herself.
Otherwise, every night when she returned home, her grandmother would pester her, asking, "Did you see that man again today?" The nagging was one thing, but more importantly, every time she said no, the look of disappointment on her grandmother's face made Liang Qingren feel sad.
At this point, Li Muge said, "Qingren, show him around to get him familiar with the work. Also, explain our group's rules and other important matters to him."
"I understand," Liang Qingren replied sweetly.
Li Muge didn't linger. She shot Wu Tian one last glare, warning him not to mess around, and then left.
Once Li Muge was gone, Liang Qingren felt free to size up Wu Tian, her eyes scanning him from head to toe, over and over.
This shattered the hearts of the men around them.
"What's going on?"
"Why is my campus belle staring at this new Director?"
"I thought my campus belle ignored everyone."
"What is happening?"
But Liang Qingren paid no mind to the others' opinions. She was just looking at Wu Tian's slender frame. Is he really the rare Innate Expert my grandmother spoke of?
"Where are your eyes looking?"
Though Wu Tian considered himself fairly handsome and occasionally had women look at him, they certainly never dared to so boldly stare at one particular place.
Liang Qingren snapped back to her senses. This is bad! She realized with a start that, while lost in thought, her gaze had inadvertently fixed on an area most unsuitable for a young lady's eyes.
