I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 440 I'm scared (26)

Upon hearing the old man's denial, Xi Ya had already begun preparing to take the blame.

Her income is high, part of which comes from her own labor, and the other part comes from compensation for emotional distress and taking the blame for others.

When the vice president said "a mere 3 billion," Xi Ya knew that the other party did not understand the true meaning of 3 billion in cash flow, nor did he know how much consequences this 3 billion could bring.

After silently assessing the current situation, Xi Ya felt that she was probably going to be blamed for something quite serious.

At this time, do not argue about anything, do not say anything that is detrimental to the leader, just obediently take the blame, and the leader will not treat you unfairly.

However, you can't just take the blame head-on. You have to use some tricks to make your own blame seem smaller and make your boss think, "This person has made a big sacrifice, so we should give them something in return."

If you can go even further and make the other person feel, "I've used both kindness and severity, this is a great favor, I really have the skill to manage people," then you've mastered workplace etiquette.

With this in mind, Xi Ya began to draw upon all her knowledge and skills and began to showcase her talents.

Afterwards, the vice president talked non-stop for an hour about his past experiences, recounting things from decades ago, and he still seemed to enjoy it immensely, which was truly admirable.

What amazed the Foundation Establishment experts nearby the most was Xi Ya's flattery skills.

Her flattery was subtle and understated. She would occasionally shift her posture slightly, demonstrating a listening attitude without compromising her manners, which made people feel like they were basking in a warm breeze.

In addition, she could find different breakthroughs in the old man's tens of thousands of exaggerations, and she would shoot different places each time, which quickly made the old man happy and reluctant to stop.

Finally, after the old man finished his self-praise with satisfaction and sank into the spiritual liquid, he said with rapture, "Alright, that's enough. Since you're worried about the loan, then this matter is entrusted to you. Report back immediately if anything happens. Go."

"Thank you for your guidance, Chairman."

She bowed again, then faced the old man and retreated step by step until she reached the door.

Just as she was about to leave, the old man suddenly said, "I heard that you've been getting quite close to a junior member of the Sima family lately."

Beside the old man, several Foundation Establishment experts also raised their heads and coldly stared at Xi Ya at the door.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, the hairs on Xi Ya's back stood on end, but she quickly suppressed them.

She immediately bowed respectfully and said earnestly, "If the president doesn't like it, I will immediately cut off all ties with her."

"No need for that. I just wanted to say that the Sima family has declined and has little political resources. If we share similar views, we can go for a visit. But if you want to take things further, you should think about it. I have high hopes for you."

After a pause, the old man said, "I have a niece. Whenever you die, I'll have the God of the Underworld create a male body for you so you can meet her."

"Okay, thank you for the arrangement, I will handle it as soon as I finish this period."

Continuing to retreat, Xi Ya left the vice president's office and only breathed a sigh of relief after returning to her own office.

Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; chatting with that old guy is really exhausting.

It all seemed like nonsense, but it was a subtle probing, and even the content of the speech, combined with the Taoist rhythm, had a hypnotic element, making people unconsciously want to reveal their true feelings.

The final test was even more direct, indicating that I was watching your every move and you'd better be serious.

The only good news is that permission has been granted to handle this matter, but this is also a problem.

The chairman has already stated that this is a minor matter; it is expected that it should be handled well, but if it is not handled well, it is due to a lack of ability and a reprimand is necessary.

But ignoring it wouldn't work, because if things went wrong, it would be their own fault. It was better to make a statement first, so they could die a more peaceful death. Re-examining the loans issued by Chenguang, Xi Ya realized this was indeed a difficult problem to solve.

Chen Yu followed the route of Wenchang Xingjun, distributing gifts. With Wenchang Xingjun's endorsement and all the necessary paperwork, it couldn't be bypassed by regional locks.

Loans normally require institutional backing, but Chenguang packaged it as a reward from a dream, and it just happened to be at the limit, so it can't be rejected for violating regulations.

Legal channels can be pursued, but they take a long time, and by the time they're finished, the other party's loan will have been disbursed, making it pointless.

Forcibly prohibiting the other party would offend Wenchang Xingjun, because "The Big Capitalist" added a lot of faith to Wenchang Xingjun, which Wenchang Xingjun liked very much.

After reviewing all the relevant laws and regulations for a long time, Xi Ya discovered that the other party had already secured all the legitimate channels.

Unorthodox methods might work at first, but now it's a bit too late.

Biting her pen, Xi Ya reread the contents for a while, then realized she had overlooked someone.

Xu Zilong, the tenth son of the Xu Group.

After finding the other party's contact information in the Changsheng Prefecture's internal system, Xi Ya immediately contacted them, and soon saw a phantom appear in the room.

Although he wasn't part of the system, Xu Zilong still displayed impeccable manners. After meeting Xi Ya, he went through a series of self-introductions before smiling and asking, "Assistant Xi, what brings you here?"

What are your thoughts on Tianyuan Chenguang?

Xu Zilong frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Tianyuan Chenguang is the pride of Tianyuan, and its boss, Chen Yu, is a rising star who has impressed people in many ways."

"Do you really think so?"

"I don't quite understand what Assistant Xi is saying."

"The other party ruined your plans several times, don't you really have any complaints at all?"

Xu Zilong, still smiling, said sincerely, "I don't know what complaints you're referring to, but I really admire Mr. Chen Yu's decisiveness and courage. Even if there are some conflicts, they are just normal business competition, and there are no complaints."

Seeing Xu Zilong like this, Xi Ya closed the door, locked the window, and in front of Xu Zilong, she performed a spell to summon a star lord.

This star deity is called the Hidden Star Deity, and can store all secrets within it, ensuring that no third party will know them.

After invoking this star deity, Xi Ya said to "Xu Zilong," "Mr. Xu, let's be sincere. The loans issued by Tianyuan Chenguang have had a significant impact on Changsheng Prefecture, and I need someone to assist me in dealing with them."

"Do you want me to do the dirty work?" Xu Zilong asked with a polite smile.

"Yes, I will provide compensation. And rest assured, I will sign a contract under the witness of the Hidden Star Lord, guaranteeing that you will not be disappointed."

"That sounds good, but I refuse."

"...Why? Are you scared?"

"Yes, I'm scared."
