The interaction with that man had been a bit of a scene, but it made Jiang Zuo feel a lot more relaxed. Su Qi was the most difficult hurdle in his new life, which was why he sometimes found himself worried and anxious.
Especially when his phone rang or he got a message, he would, to his surprise, immediately hope it was from Su Qi.
This left him feeling rather awkward. After all, he had lived for who knows how long, yet he was actually experiencing the feeling of being in love.
Just thinking about it was a little embarrassing.
The coin toss had failed, so Jiang Zuo wouldn't try again. This was a matter of Mystic Study; since it had gone wrong, you shouldn't try to ask about the same thing.
Asking again would make the outcome unpredictable.
With no other choice, Jiang Zuo could only come to the Tianhe Group once again.
Right now, the second marketing department was basically empty. Or rather, there was just one person inside.
And it was a woman. She was fiddling with her computer, looking quite anxious.
Jiang Zuo's arrival naturally startled her. She was a small, cute-looking girl. She looked at Jiang Zuo pitifully. "Um, could you... could you help me? My computer won't turn on."
Jiang Zuo was speechless.
Jiang Zuo glanced at her computer, then walked behind it to check the power supply. Afterward, he said, "The power cord isn't plugged in."
The young woman then thought Jiang Zuo would help her plug it in. However, Jiang Zuo just turned and walked away. Just like that.
'Faced with someone so cute, that man actually just ignored her and left. He wasn't even willing to bend over and help out.'
'A guy like that deserves to be single forever.'
Jiang Zuo returned to his desk and checked to see if there were any new commissions. Unfortunately, there were none.
Then he took out his phone to see if there were any urgent jobs for him in the group chat.
As soon as he opened it, he saw Chi Xue Child had posted a link. "Look, the Holy Land Saintess is live streaming! She's drop-dead gorgeous."
A Holy Land was really just a larger Sect. And Jiang Zuo only knew of one Holy Land: the Yue Lian Holy Land.
Speaking of the Yue Lian Holy Land, he was reminded of one person.
The Saintess Yue Lian.
The person from his past life whom he had hunted with the most vigor, hated with the most intensity, and found the most repulsive.
In his past life, he had never been bested by any powerhouse, but he had suffered a setback at the hands of this Saintess Yue Lian.
Ah, enemies meeting again makes the blood boil. Jiang Zuo wondered if he should go and kill her right now.
So, Jiang Zuo asked in the group chat, "A Holy Land Saintess? Which Holy Land?"
Xiao Xiaomo: "Isn't there only one Holy Land? The Yue Lian Holy Land, of course."
The moment he saw the words "Yue Lian Holy Land," a cruel smile crept onto Jiang Zuo's lips. 'Looks like it's time to make some preparations.'
The instant the young woman saw Jiang Zuo's smile, she panicked a little. 'This person is so scary. Could it be that he ignored me on the surface but is secretly thinking some shameful things about me?'
She was a little rattled.
By this time, Jiang Zuo had already opened the live stream link.
He soon saw a fairy-like woman with long, flowing hair. She wore a white Immortal Skirt, giving her an ethereal, otherworldly aura, as if she didn't belong to the mortal world.
She possessed a stunning face; calling her beauty enough to make fish sink and geese fall would be no exaggeration. Just standing there, she was a captivating sight.
Jiang Zuo sighed. This person was indeed drop-dead gorgeous, but she wasn't the Saintess he knew.
'Did they swap out the Saintess somewhere along the way?'
At this, Jiang Zuo went back to the group chat and asked, "What's this Saintess Yue Lian's Daoist name? Is she the only Saintess?"
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "Big Boss, don't you think this woman is super ugly? Our Demon Sect's Saintess is way better looking. You wanna see, Big Boss? I'll send you the link when she goes live."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "Please don't. I watched her once, and the makeup was a train wreck."
Chen Yi: "The Saintess Yue Lian is also called Saintess Jingyue. Jingyue is her Daoist name. As for how many there are, there's only one Saintess, but there are two or three candidates in line."
This really wasn't the one Jiang Zuo knew. They must have replaced her later. That other Saintess's Daoist name wasn't Jingyue.
Since it wasn't her, Jiang Zuo decided against killing her. He could always kill the other one whenever he happened to run into her. It wouldn't be too late.
Jiang Zuo wanted to kill her, but he wouldn't go out of his way to track her down. That would be a waste of his time. Besides, what if it was the same as before?
That would be the beginning of true suffering.
'But why are these people live streaming?'
Jiang Zuo looked at the live stream again. This Saintess was truly easy on the eyes.
But Jiang Zuo really couldn't figure out the purpose. To make money? That was obviously impossible.
'Is there some deeper meaning to it?'
Jiang Zuo couldn't guess, so he could only ask the group: "What's the purpose of these people live streaming?"
"Purpose? Does live streaming need a purpose?" Liuyue Xue sent several surprised emojis.
Jiang Zuo was stunned. 'It doesn't need a purpose?'
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "You just stream if you feel like it, post a short video or something. As long as you're happy."
Jiang Zuo was speechless.
Sure enough, whether one pursued Cultivation or not had nothing to do with what they liked to do for fun.
Just then, a man appeared at the entrance to the marketing department. He was in his thirties, with an extraordinary air about him. One look and you could tell he wasn't an ordinary employee.
He glanced around the marketing department. "Are there only two people left here? There's someone in the conference room who wants to place an order. If you're interested, follow me."
Jiang Zuo looked up. This person's Cultivation wasn't low, but he couldn't see it clearly.
He must have concealed his Cultivation.
However, Jiang Zuo saw his ID badge: Department Supervisor, Jiang Ran.
Seeing this, Jiang Zuo stood up and followed him without a word.
The woman hesitated for a moment before following as well. She had exceptional confidence in herself.
'The only reason I'm hesitating is because that perverted stalker is going too.'
Afterward, Jiang Zuo and the young woman followed Jiang Ran all the way to the conference room. At the door, Jiang Ran looked at them and said, "ID badges."
Jiang Zuo took out his ID badge. The young woman did the same.
Ximen Linglong. 'Her name is as small and exquisite as she is.'
Jiang Ran, however, gave Jiang Zuo a longer look, then said, "Go on in. If you feel it's not a good fit, you can give up at any time."
Jiang Zuo and Ximen Linglong nodded and stepped into the conference room.
Jiang Ran didn't follow them in. He didn't need to. Whether they succeeded or not had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Zuo, however, was quite surprised. For a department supervisor to personally greet them... 'It seems the people inside aren't ordinary.'
Sure enough, just as he entered, he felt a powerful pressure. 'Are they trying to intimidate me?'
Ximen Linglong sensed it too, but she thought the client was testing her, so she silently endured it.
However, she then heard a voice from beside her that left her stunned: "You have three breaths to retract your pressure, or I'll make you regret it."
It was Jiang Zuo who had spoken. His voice was completely devoid of emotion, revealing no trace of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
But it was enough to make everyone's expression change drastically—Ximen Linglong's, and the two people inside as well.
'They had never seen someone so arrogant. If you can't take it, you should push back with your own pressure. What's the point of just shouting?'
And yet, despite thinking this, they didn't dare act rashly. No one wanted to escalate the situation.
Then, the pressure dissipated.
Ximen Linglong looked at Jiang Zuo in disbelief. 'Don't they say the customer is God? What if we can't pass their test and they don't give us the order?'
Meanwhile, outside, Jiang Ran smiled. 'This person is very interesting.'
