My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

While the magical girl was working hard, Anmeng Insurance also began a new day of work.

"In the interim results, operating profit attributable to shareholders increased by 10.3% year-on-year, a substantial increase and a very encouraging growth trend!"

"The main drivers of profit growth come from property insurance, assets, and magic protection..."

Tang Ming's official position at the company remains that of a regular appraisal specialist. With a semi-engineering background, he excels at real estate appraisals. In any case, his "real job" isn't in this field, so his superiors won't have high expectations of him.

Although he had been with the company for less than a month, Tang Ming was personally mentored by his manager, Hua Lingyou, and was always there to handle various matters, big and small. In everyone's eyes, Tang Ming was a talent who had been parachuted in and would surely be promoted soon.

Hua Yiyou dragged her to the mid-term meeting, which she wasn't originally qualified to attend.

"You can also sit in on the meeting; the supervisor will have a short meeting afterwards..."

Hua Yiyou wore a smile, much more reserved and serene compared to her sister who always exuded a dazzling radiance.

So now, Tang Ming sat on the very edge, listening to the person in front of the screen talking non-stop...

"Due to the impact of five Void Beast calamities and dozens of terrorist attacks, the returns..."

"However, the business community in the old business district is showing strong interest; after yesterday's disaster, many clients have called..."

Tang Ming propped his head up with his hand, pretending to read the documents in his hand carefully, while his phone was stuck in the middle of the folder, scrolling through today's news.

"That concludes the meeting. The latest business direction will be decided later and distributed to all departments. I hope everyone will be motivated and ready to get to work in the next quarter! Summer vacation is almost here, although it doesn't really concern us adults, but..."

Hua Yiyou stood up and raised her voice: "The company team building event is coming soon, everyone can actively vote in the community!"

"good!"

"good!"

Tang Ming looked down at his phone, his right fist naturally clenched and stretched upwards as he cheered along with the others.

Team building activities are purely a waste of the limited energy available during the holiday. If he could avoid going, Tang Ming would rather lie on the sofa and read comics or watch movies.

But then I remembered Lin Ruoyu was there, and suddenly I didn't really want to stay home anymore...

"Except for you, everyone else can leave." After Hua Yiyou finished calling out the last few people, everyone stood up, whispering among themselves as they left the conference room one after another.

For many, team building remains a good activity, and with the company's business growing steadily, many people are likely to receive a raise.

Tang Ming remained seated, secretly putting away his phone and glancing at the front row. Hua Lingyou leaned back lazily in her chair, expertly twirling a pen in her hand.

The large conference room quickly went from noisy to quiet, with only seven or eight people sitting in their respective seats.

The middle-aged man at the head of the table turned around and glanced at them. "Why are you all so far away? Come sit over here."

Tang Ming and the others stood up together and sat down in a circle. Besides Tang Ming, Hua Lingyou, Hua Yiyou, Xiao Zhang and others were also there.

This is a meeting at another level within the company; it's an internal meeting of the organization.

"Old supervisor, shall I take my leave now?" Hua Yiyou looked at the middle-aged man.

"No need, you come too. We're still talking about company matters." The man, nearly sixty, beckoned to Hua Yiyou, gesturing for her to sit down. "The boss will be back soon, and the company needs your report on the business..."

Hua Lingyou rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Why bring Yiyou in? She doesn't deal with Void Affairs."

"Give me a break... The company and the organization are one entity. Can't we understand relevant information without contacting different entities?" The middle-aged man said helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

Hua Yiyou sat down obediently without saying a word, adopting the posture of an observer.

"Why didn't Zeng Que come?"

Hua Lingyou said no more, and Xiao Zhang put his legs on the table and asked curiously.

"He's busy being the head of the archives, wielding immense power—" Hua Lingyou said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

The middle-aged man explained:

"The number of attacks on wizards in Fangzhou City has been increasing these past two days, which should be related to the [New Human Cult]. The Ministry of Magic is extremely busy dealing with them."

Tang Ming asked, "Has the cult become this rampant? Didn't they just have a few hideouts raided? They should be called a cult team, right?"

"It seems more training teams have arrived in Fangzhou City, but we still don't know their specific purpose," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice. "Hua Lingyou?"

Upon being called upon, Hua Lingyou instantly flashed a bright smile and coldly said:

"I almost got the information yesterday, but that idiot Zeng Que activated the bubble crack without permission, scaring all those people away!"

"You're just spouting nonsense! That subway station is a million miles away from where you're hiding..." Xiao Zhang immediately exposed him.

Hua Lingyou ignored him and turned to look at Tang Ming behind her. "The accident that almost killed you yesterday—it was Zeng Que who set it up. He didn't even tell you beforehand; he wanted you dead!"

"Hua Lingyou, don't stir up trouble over something that's completely fabricated..." The middle-aged man couldn't help but step in to mediate.

"What? Zeng Queqian was responsible for last night's accident?" Tang Mingzheng sat up and frowned.

"Yeah, why don't we kill him? He almost killed you." Hua Lingyou smiled nonchalantly.

"..." Tang Ming squeezed the armrest and looked at the others.

He wasn't sure if Hua Lingyou was making it up, and this wasn't the first time his senior had done something like this. If Zeng Que had really done it, would Tang Ming have acted so rashly and attacked his colleague? It was just a joke, after all.

How could he possibly have the ability or the qualifications to do that?

In this era, no one's life matters, neither Zeng Que nor Tang Ming. But hearing that Zeng Que casually released Void Beasts in the subway station, dragging countless civilians into it... his heart grew colder. Organizations associated with Void Beasts were ultimately not immune to some evil.

He chose this path, so how could he go back on his word?

"Tang Ming, don't get agitated. He's doing this for business. He hasn't been able to win over clients in that area, so he took it upon himself to scare them. That's why his phone has been ringing off the hook since early this morning."

The middle-aged man comforted him gently, "He forgot about you this time, and I've already criticized him. But Tang Ming, you should always carry a briefcase with you from now on... Swords have no eyes, and an ordinary person's body is very vulnerable in battle."

Tang Ming forced a smile, nodded, and said ambiguously, "I'll listen to you, senior."

"Uh..." The middle-aged man gave Hua Lingyou a wink.

Hua Lingyou ignored his gaze and looked at Tang Ming approvingly: "He truly is my good disciple. I'll teach him a lesson next time I see him."

That was the end of it; nobody really cared about it anymore.

That's how the world of magic and the supernatural works; without ordinary people as a foil, how can the power of magic be truly displayed?

Tang Ming didn't say much; for him, power was essential. Without magic or any other element, he was helpless against the increasingly chaotic state of the city.

As for the messes the company made, they didn't happen to him, so he could only shrug it off and not get involved...

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. I went undercover all night and the results are impressive! I've already infiltrated a local branch as the team leader."

"So fast!" The middle-aged man looked at her with delight, his furrowed brows disappearing in an instant.

"I don't mince words. Pretending is a piece of cake for me, isn't it?"

"Tch! As if anyone can't do it?" Xiao Zhang said disdainfully, arms crossed.

"You're really not good enough. You're not even willing to communicate and integrate with someone of a different background, so how can you 'perfectly imitate' another person?"

Hua Lingyou retorted sarcastically. The two of them always competed over their different ways of controlling their unique abilities, which everyone had become accustomed to.

"What we need most right now is a list of local undercover members, especially those within the Demon Division. They are invaluable assets... We must dig out the rotten apples right under our noses," the middle-aged man said resolutely.

In his words, the Department of Demonology was like a "subordinate department" of a company. If the official wizards knew that they were so "shameless," they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.

Hua Lingyou wholeheartedly agreed with the middle-aged man's words, "Later, Tang Ming, come with me, let's go and act in a play."

"What kind of show?" the others asked curiously.

"Each cult can only know information about its own members; this is the cellular structure of the New Human Cult. Multiple sub-organizations complete their own specific tasks and missions. Apart from the captain being able to directly communicate with higher-ups, intelligence at the same level is not shared."

Hua Lingyou clearly and concisely introduced the information she had discovered.

"Therefore, I can't gather any more information using my current 'identity.' If we want to get information about the local training team, we'll need Tang Ming!"

"No work this morning, feel free to slack off, then get to work this afternoon!"
