Chapter 169: Chapter 115: A Character Like This! Let’s Make a Bet

’Her voice is surprisingly beautiful, though. I don’t think any woman I know has a more pleasant-sounding voice.’

A moment later, he heard a knock on the door. He saw a young woman from the HR department leading in a girl wearing a white T-shirt and simple jeans.

"President Zhang, this is Miss Zhong Miaoying. She’s here to see you!" the woman from HR reported before excusing herself.

Zhang Lin’s eyes lit up as he looked at Zhong Miaoying. She was very beautiful.

Her jet-black hair was tucked behind her ears. Her eyelashes were thick and long, fluttering like tiny fans when she blinked. She had a long, straight nose, giving her a naturally sculpted beauty. The term "natural-born beauty" was the perfect way to describe her.

’This must mean Director Zhong’s wife is also gorgeous, because the Director himself is far from good-looking. In fact, his appearance is... hard to put into words.’

’For their daughter to be this beautiful, it had to be that his wife was stunning and had good genes. There was no other explanation.’

"President Zhang, hello!" Zhong Miaoying greeted him, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Have a seat." Zhang Lin nodded, gesturing for her to sit down at the tea table.

After sitting down, Zhong Miaoying quickly pulled a resume from her bag and hurriedly handed it to him. "President Zhang, this is my resume!" she said, her words coming out in a rush.

Zhang Lin frowned slightly as he took her resume.

’She’s beautiful, no doubt, but she seems to have an ’I’ personality type. In other words, she’s introverted, gets flustered around strangers, and seems rushed and anxious.’

He was starting to understand why Director Zhong hadn’t arranged a position for his daughter within the system.

"Zhong Miaoying—I’ll call you Miaoying, if that’s alright. You don’t have to be nervous." Zhang Lin said with a smile, setting her resume aside. Her application was just a formality, anyway. He continued, "I promised Director Zhong I would arrange a project manager position for you. Our scenic area is currently hiring managers for several projects. However, each project in the park has quite a few employees. The job requires not only interacting with and managing staff but also dealing with tourists."

While speaking, Zhang Lin observed Zhong Miaoying and noticed that her pretty face grew tense when he mentioned interacting with staff and tourists.

Seeing this, he realized the project manager role wasn’t suitable for her.

But he wasn’t going to back out of the promise he made to Director Zhong.

After a moment’s thought, an idea struck him. He quickly added, "On the other hand, things are getting busier and busier at our scenic area, and I haven’t hired anyone for my secretarial office yet. It also needs a manager. The salary is the same. So, you can choose which position you’d prefer."

The "secretarial office manager" position was something he’d just made up on the spot.

’All those big corporations and big bosses have a secretarial office, with several secretaries.’

’It’s a good idea to set up the secretarial office now, and Director Zhong’s daughter is the perfect person for it.’

’After all, her ’I’ personality isn’t suited for managing a park project. In the secretarial office, she wouldn’t have to interact with too many people. She’d just relay my instructions, serve tea to guests, and when there’s nothing to do, her good looks are easy on the eyes and her voice is pleasant to hear, right?’

Zhong Miaoying obviously didn’t hesitate. She quickly said, "President Zhang, I’ll take the secretarial office!"

"Okay." Zhang Lin knew she would choose this. He called Lin Mengyao in and instructed her, "Mengyao, this is Zhong Miaoying. From now on, she’ll be the manager of my secretarial office. Her salary will be the same as the park’s other project managers."

"Understood!" Lin Mengyao nodded, then turned to Zhong Miaoying with a surprised expression and invited her, "Manager Zhong, please come with me."

’She had no idea when the farm had added a "manager of the secretarial office" position. But she understood that this girl was probably a "connections hire," just like her.’

’And to get the same salary as her right from the start, her background must be quite powerful. So, she was very polite.’

After Lin Mengyao left with Zhong Miaoying, Lin Muxue hurried into the office. "President Zhang, as you instructed, I’ve donated the one million yuan to the foundation most recommended by netizens—the one run by that singer, Han. After we transferred the money, she already posted a thank-you message on her Official Account."

"Good." Zhang Lin nodded. Han was indeed trustworthy.

Lin Muxue added, "President Zhang, the Bamboo Maze is getting even more popular now. We should probably run another event for it. I’d like to apply for event funding."

Zhang Lin smiled and said, "The Bamboo Maze has more than just the 200,000 yuan first-place prize. There’s still 800,000 yuan in prize money, with 2,000 yuan for anyone who makes it through. Since the maze has already been solved, let’s run a promotion where a lucky tourist can get the complete map of our Bamboo Maze. That should be attractive enough."

"It’s no use letting all that prize money just sit in the escrow account. Let’s just lower the difficulty for the tourists. However, let’s schedule it for three days from now to give the *Super Brain* production team time to wrap up their season."

Lin Muxue was taken aback. "President Zhang, I don’t recommend this. If we give out the complete map, won’t that ruin the Bamboo Maze? Someone will definitely post it online, and then everyone will have the map."

"That would be like drastically shortening the lifespan of the Bamboo Maze. People might lose interest in the attraction in a very short time. This isn’t a good thing!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lin laughed. "Muxue, you’re underestimating the Bamboo Maze I built. You don’t actually think having a map will make it easy to get through, do you? How about we make a bet? I’ll give you the complete map, and you can try walking through the Bamboo Maze with it."

"If you can’t get through even with the map... well, with a great figure like yours, you can post a video of yourself dancing on the farm’s Tiao Yin account. A hot dance, mind you. Let the tourists see the flair of our farm’s project director!"

Instead of being offended, Lin Muxue’s interest was piqued by the bet. "President Zhang, a bet has to be fair. If I do make it through, will you also post a video of yourself doing a sexy dance on Tiao Yin and let the tourists see the flair of their boss?"

"Deal!" Zhang Lin agreed.

’With its "Exploration Dumbing Down +1" and "Bewilderment +1" attributes, he was confident that even with a complete map, most people wouldn’t be able to find their way out of the 1,000-acre maze. After all, many of the forks in the path weren’t simple matters of left, right, up, or down.’

’At least, that would be the case for their first time, especially for someone like Lin Muxue who had no training in this area.’

’Of course, if by some chance she did make it through, he’d just disappear and deny the bet ever happened.’

’If she couldn’t find her way out, then the tourists would get to enjoy a hot dance. And that, he was sure, would be the final outcome.’

’Besides, once she was in the Bamboo Maze, he could always give her a couple of calls to disrupt her train of thought!’

"It’s a bet, then. But you can’t give me a fake map, President Zhang." Lin Muxue truly didn’t believe it. ’With a complete map, how could she possibly fail to get out of the Bamboo Maze?’

’Opportunities to watch the boss do a sexy dance were rare. She had to win this perk for everyone.’
