Chapter 209: Morning Meeting

Turning his head, Shen Yu saw Zhu Weiman and Zhu Xian already on the ground.

Their bodies were changing rapidly, black spikes covering their skin as they charged straight toward him.

Grass!

Time Jump!

The world blurred.

Once again, images of the future appeared before Mo Xian’s eyes.

A grunt echoed.

Two black-spined wild boars charged toward Wen Lan.

Wen Lan had already ordered Yan Cheng to use Word Spirit. Then she turned toward Shen Yu.

Strangely, she continued dancing with her eyes closed, maintaining the exact same posture.

And then—

Thud!

One of the wild boars suddenly threw itself onto the ground.

With a low grunt, it bit down on its own neck.

"Damn!"

"What the hell?"

"What is that?"

Mo Xian’s expression changed.

What did Wen Lan mean by that?

He wasn’t stupid.

This time, he didn’t immediately use Time Jump.

Instead, just like Wen Lan, he looked toward Shen Yu ahead of time.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Sign the order!"

"Sign the order!"

"Sign the order!"

On the grassy field, the four of them continued hopping around on one foot like complete fools.

Yet with their eyes closed, neither the giant pigeon nor the black-spined wild boars attacked them.

"Damn!"

"How does he know?"

"How does he know?"

Mo Xian’s eyes narrowed.

Nothing happened when they closed their eyes.

But why?

What was the principle behind it?

Grunt!

The sound of something pouncing from behind suddenly reached his ears.

Mo Xian’s expression changed.

"Everyone, close your eyes!"

"Keep dancing!"

"Time Jump!"

Buzz!

The black-spined wild boar charging toward them suddenly twisted in midair.

Its pouncing posture changed directly into the posture of a failed landing.

Another wild boar abruptly went from lunging forward to lying frozen on the ground.

Time had been skipped again.

The moment when the black-spined wild boar should have pounced on Mo Xian and Yan Cheng—using Word Spirit to attack them—had simply vanished.

It was replaced by the aftermath of the failed attack.

Mo Xian had skipped directly to the future where they were safe.

"Captain!"

"Good!"

"That’s good!"

Liang Lingxue still didn’t understand why Mo Xian had ordered everyone to close their eyes.

But when she saw the word Danger above Mo Xian’s head change into Good after he closed his eyes, she immediately followed his example.

She shut her eyes.

"Sign the order!"

"Sign the order!"

"Sign the order!"

For a moment, everyone stood on one leg in the grass, hopping up and down while chanting the hypnotic slogan.

"Sign the order!"

"Sign the order!"

"Sign the order!"

Huff... huff...

Two black-spined wild boars circled around the four of them.

Then—

A massive black wolf, almost the size of a bear, slowly approached.

The moment the wild boars sensed its presence, their bodies shuddered.

They immediately retreated.

On the other side—

"Yikes! Yikes!"

The giant pigeon circled overhead.

After failing to kill Mo Xian, it flew in circles above Shen Yu and the others instead.

A cold breeze swept across the grass.

Yet Shen Yu continued hopping with his eyes tightly closed.

He could feel a strange sensation around his body.

Something soft and furry brushed against him.

It felt like a long animal tail was slowly moving around his body.

If Shen Yu opened his eyes at that moment, he would have seen a white fox as large as a horse sitting directly in front of him.

The fox was quietly sizing him up.

Because of its presence, the giant pigeon in the sky had not dared to attack.

The live-stream barrage exploded.

"Peppa Pig, damn!"

"I turned my morning meeting into a beastly battlefield!"

"We’re supposed to be dancing, yet somehow it turned into a fight!"

"What the hell?"

"The difference between these two sides is way too obvious!"

"One side is barely surviving attacks while the other is calmly dancing!"

"Then it must be confirmed, right?"

"Everyone in this company is an animal!"

"But why is the sales captain protecting the sales staff?"

The strange scene in the office caused the barrage to explode into chaos.

No one could explain what was happening.

One"Damn!"

"What the hell is this?"

Shen Yu could feel something rubbing against him.

Yet he continued standing on one leg, hopping while shouting the slogan.

"Sign the order!"

"Sign the order!"

A furry tail had already slipped beneath his clothes.

It wrapped around his body, tightening across his chest like a rope.

Then—

The tail slowly tightened.

Shen Yu’s breathing became hurried.

"Sign..."

"Sign the order..."

He gasped for breath but continued shouting.

"Sign the order!"

"Ah..."

"Sign the order!"

"Ah, ah..."

His voice was strained.

Shen Yu never expected to hear the system’s notification directly beside his ear.

Beep!

[Goddess Lin Wan’s affection toward you has increased.]

[Current affection: 35.]

"What?"

"Lin Wan?"

"Did she turn into an animal?"

"What kind of animal?"

Even after becoming an animal, she was still so full of herself.

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment.

The tail tightened around his neck until his skin turned red.

Then the system notification disappeared.

Shush... shush... shush...

After a brief pause, the furry tail trembled with excitement.

It tightened once more.

Then—

It suddenly shuddered.

The tail quickly withdrew.

A clear voice echoed throughout the office.

"All right!"

"The morning meeting is over!"

"Everyone, give it your all!"

"And greet the new day with full energy!"

Shush... shush... shush...

The sound of water plants brushing against one another gradually disappeared.

The damp mist in the air vanished without a trace.

Shen Yu slowly opened his eyes.

Lin Wan was already swaying her hips as she walked back into the office, moving from side to side as if nothing had happened.

As for Zhu Weiman and Mr. Fu—

They had already disappeared without a trace.

"Eh?"

"Vice Captain, what exactly just happened?"

Ning Su touched the dew on his face, still unable to understand what had happened.

What could he say?

He had lived through the entire process far too safely.

He hadn’t suffered any injuries at all.

"Did we just enter another world?"

Yanning speculated as she turned toward Mo Xian.

Coincidentally, the people on the opposite side were looking in their direction as well.

Their eyes met.

Both Mo Xian and Liang Lingxue wore ugly expressions.

Their side had already used their abilities twice during the morning meeting.

From this point onward, whatever they encountered would become extremely difficult to deal with.

But Shen Yu’s side...

Apart from the slight redness around Shen Yu’s neck, they seemed completely unharmed.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"How can I be worse than this freeloading good-for-nothing?"

"Damn it!"

Bang!

Mo Xian slammed his fist against the desk in anger.

He was about to say something when—

"Stop barking!"

"If you still can’t close a deal today, you’ll all be working overtime again!"

Lin Yao’s voice suddenly rang out from the Wolf Faction’s office.

Mo Xian’s face instantly turned pale, as though someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him.

"Another round tonight..."

The thought of last night’s experience made his expression even darker.

He shot Shen Yu a glare, quickly opened the client list, and began dialing numbers frantically.

"At least you’ve made some progress."

"If you target Shen Yu again, you won’t even know how you died."

Lin Wan muttered quietly.

Her beautiful eyes secretly lingered on Shen Yu for a moment before she also picked up the phone and began dialing.

"Hello, this is Evolution Food Company."

"Hello."

Once again, the office was filled with the voices of sales representatives making promotional calls.

On Mo Xian’s side, all four members worked desperately, making call after call until they were exhausted.

On Shen Yu’s side, however, they followed yesterday’s plan.

They quickly flipped through the client information, searching for clues about Mr. Tree.

But after searching through the entire list—

Nothing.

They checked it again.

And again.

Yet Mr. Tree was nowhere to be found.

Ding dong!

Before they realized it, noon had already arrived.

The elevator doors opened.

Zhu Weiman and Zhu Xian stepped out, each carrying a large food box.

Inside were several portions of fish-flavored shredded pork with rice.

"Come."

"Lunchtime."

The dull voice echoed through the office.

The food inside the boxes was brightly colored and looked surprisingly appetizing.

Yet when everyone saw it, they felt an inexplicable sense of rejection.

"Here."

"This is for you from Accountant Yang."

Shen Yu hadn’t expected it.

As Zhu Weiman passed by, he handed him a small cake.

Shen Yu’s face immediately brightened.

The entire Jochi team smiled.

"Oh!"

"No wonder you’re the vice captain."

"Everyone else gets poison, while you get cake."

"I’m basically a freeloader living off soft meals."

Chu Chang’an teased.

Yanning immediately kicked him.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"If you weren’t the vice captain, you’d be eating those boxed meals too."

"Hehehe."

"I wouldn’t dare."

Shen Yu gave a helpless smile.

"Come on."

"Let’s finish the cake first, then search for clues this afternoon."

"If we don’t close a deal today, we’ll be in serious trouble."

Shen Yu barely managed to force a smile.

The group ignored the fish-flavored shredded pork and shared the small cakes instead, eating them with enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, on Mo Xian’s side—

The four of them stared at each other.

None of them dared touch their lunch boxes.

They remained frozen until Zhu Weiman impatiently walked over.

Mo Xian gritted his teeth.

Then he picked up the boxed meal and began eating.

Liang Lingxue’s heart completely sank.

She kept glancing toward Shen Yu’s side.

Again and again, the same thought appeared in her mind.

If only I were also part of the Jochi team...

That would be so nice.
