After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 579 Simply Be a Puppet

three days later.

Seeing the bookish-looking girl who suddenly appeared at the door, Shen Xu smiled awkwardly.

"I've cleaned the shuttle for you, it's spotless." Shen Xu handed the shuttle to Chi Xiaorou's outstretched hand.

"Qian Mingge will be transferred back to headquarters in three days. We should set off."

"Three days, so can I stay for two more days?"

“When a new Mingge takes over the position normally, he will usually go to his post in advance to adapt to the work.”

"We should have set off the day you returned, but considering your special circumstances, I came to see you today," Chi Xiaorou said softly.

"Alright! I'll go say goodbye to them." He knew that Chi Xiaorou had already been very lenient by giving him so many days.

"Xiao Rou, would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Shen Xu asked tentatively, looking at Chi Xiao Rou at the door.

"No, the identities of everyone in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, except for Ming Ge, should not be revealed."

"I'll wait for you at the teleportation array. I hope you won't keep me waiting too long." After saying this, Chi Xiaorou turned and left his sight.

"Xiao Xu, who's outside?"

"A friend of mine."

Are you leaving?

Shen Xu nodded.

"So fast!" A look of reluctance immediately appeared in Wu Shang's eyes.

"It's alright, I'll be back in a while. I'll leave things to you in Wuyou's care."

"She knows you're leaving, so it shouldn't be too hard for her to accept."

"Brother Xu, I will definitely earn money to come find you." Wu Shang's eyes were full of sincerity.

"It's not like I can't come back. I won't keep you waiting too long. Maybe I'll even have a chance to bring you to live with me at my workplace for a while."

……

There is only one teleportation array in Emerald Bamboo City that leads to the Mountain Sun Sect, located near the city gate.

"Where do you want me to serve as the Ming Pavilion official? Do I need to go to headquarters to pledge my loyalty first?" Shen Xu asked Chi Xiaorou, whose appearance and figure had been transformed, at a tea stall next to the teleportation array.

"The location of the headquarters is top secret, and we cannot allow an outsider like you with such limited experience to enter."

“Even you think so, I think my days at Fengyu Tower are going to be very difficult.” Shen Xu shook his head.

"It seems you have some self-awareness. Because of your seniority, many people at headquarters are very dissatisfied with you, including Qian Mingge."

"If he's unwilling to hand over personnel information to you, your job will be very difficult, and if you don't do it well, you'll be discarded like trash." Chi Xiaorou calmly described his situation.

It would be better to discard it like worn-out shoes, since he never intended to make a name for himself in the Wind and Rain Pavilion anyway. Being on the fringes of attention would make it easier for him to hide.

Seeing Shen Xu's seemingly indifferent expression, Chi Xiaorou continued softly, "The place you go is very important. If you don't do well, it can easily damage the reputation of Fengyu Tower."

The original poster values ​​the reputation of Fengyulou very much, so your fate may not be good.

"You still haven't told me where I'm going. Which city are you sending me to serve as the Ming Pavilion Master?"

Chi Xiaorou, with dark circles under her eyes, looked at him. "Alchemist Alliance, Dan Ding City!"

"What! Is this how you treat newcomers?!" Shen Xu said through gritted teeth.

When he agreed, he didn't expect that the city he was to go to would be Dan Ding City. Wasn't this putting him in a very difficult position?

No wonder everyone is dissatisfied with him; it would be strange if anyone liked him!

"Ordinary newcomers are not qualified to serve as Ming Pavilion members in Dan Ding City. The organization gave you this opportunity because it values ​​you, and many people have taken on responsibilities they shouldn't have had to bear for this reason."

"If you are dismissed from your post in Dan Ding City, those people will be implicated because of you, and may even lose their futures. They might retaliate against you for it." Chi Xiaorou looked at him with a deep gaze.

"If you're afraid of being implicated, then don't put me in that position. Do you think I want to go?" Shen Xu looked directly into her eyes.

"No matter what, it's a fact that you're going to Dan Ding City to serve as the Ming Pavilion member. You can appeal to the higher authorities to refuse to go, but we won't fulfill the conditions we promised you."

"You overestimate me. I'm just a Qi Sea Realm cultivator. I can't even make a ripple in a place like Dan Ding City. How am I supposed to do your job?"

“Those are not things I should consider for you, and we don’t have the same job.”

"Xiaorou, you must help me!"

"I can't live without you. Just name your conditions, as long as you're willing to help me." Shen Xu looked at Chi Xiaorou with pleading eyes.

He knew that Chi Xiaorou definitely didn't want him to collapse, otherwise she wouldn't have talked to him so much, which meant that he and Chi Xiaorou had the same interests.

Rather than having to shamelessly seek Chi Xiaorou's help after things fall apart, and then signing a series of unequal treaties, it's better to settle the terms now.

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiaorou felt a sense of unease.

She had thought this person would hold out for a while before seeking her help, but now it seemed he simply didn't have the ability.

She didn't quite understand why someone like this would be valued by the deputy head of the building.

But that's good too, at least the person in front of me isn't the kind who forces things even when they're not ready, and ends up making a mess of things.

Although she learned about the duties of a Mirror Master at headquarters, she also did some research on how to be a good Ming Pavilion Master, since there were so many cases in the Wind and Rain Pavilion for her to refer to.

Although she wasn't sure how to carry out Mingge's work in a giant city like Danding City, she was still better than the people in front of her!

If he messes things up, her future will probably be ruined as well.

Thinking of this, Chi Xiaorou asked coldly, "Are you sure you want me to help you?"

"Sure and certain!"

"Are any conditions acceptable?"

"Anything is acceptable within a reasonable range."

"I want all the rights you have as the head of Ming Pavilion!" Chi Xiaorou looked at the man in front of her.

She didn't intend for the man to agree to such humiliating terms, but excellent negotiation skills are an essential ability for a skilled negotiator, and raising the price is a common negotiation tactic.

Looking at the silent Shen Xu, Chi Xiaorou couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It seemed that she had set her initial conditions too high.

But then he saw the man in front of him smile. "Of course, then I'll have to trouble you from now on, Xiaorou. It's much easier now."

Shen Xu picked up his teacup and drank the cooled tea in one gulp. He let out a long sigh and then gave an embarrassed smile.

"By the way, I can't give you my salary and bonuses!"

How can there be such shameless people in the world!

Although she was satisfied with the result, why did she feel so much like hitting someone?

Shen Xu's idea was simple: he knew nothing about how to run Fengyulou, so rather than mess things up, he decided to hand it over to the more professional Chi Xiaorou.

Besides, what's wrong with being a puppet? You can get paid while lying down, which is a job that many people dream of.
