Could this friend be in the same world as me?

Bai Weiran was startled and instantly appeared on the rooftop, looking around—but unfortunately, he found nothing amiss.

[Passing By Hero: I know you're looking for me, but don't look for me anymore.]

[Passing By Hero: I'm not in your mission world. According to system rules, only one user can exist in a world at a time. Once you start a mission, that world is closed to other users unless a special application is made.]

So, under normal circumstances, users can only communicate through the app?

Bai Weiran pondered, hoping the other person would tell him more about things he didn't know.

[Passing By Hero: Don't rush, don't rush. I know you have many questions for me, but you can't ask them because you're banned.]

[Passing By Hero: As your friend, I have resolved the issue with your customer service appeal channel.]

Bai Weiran was taken aback.

How did the other person know when I hadn't even said anything?

He opened the customer service appeal window to confirm, and sure enough, he could now type in the dialog box.

[Passing By Hero: You're welcome, I received your thanks.]

[Passing By Hero: Friend, I have a message for you. You're probably staring at your phone right now, right? Look closely, don't look away, I'll delete this message in three seconds.]

[Passing By Hero: If you're watching, please send a message to the customer service complaint window so I can know.]

…………?

Does this friend know customer service?

Bai Weiran, filled with doubt, sent a smiling emoji to the customer service complaint window.

My friend's message came quickly.

[Passing By Hero: Your second mission target, the S-rank yandere girl Yu Mengmeng, is currently known in the app to have been kidnapped from her original world and her whereabouts are unknown. If you want to obtain clues about her, you can enter the world of S-rank mission number 30999, the world of mission protagonist Xia Yanle.]

Bai Weiran's pupils dilated.

Three seconds later, the message was retracted.

Passing by Hero sent another message.

[Passing By Hero: Friendly reminder, this mission is extremely dangerous. Investigations have revealed that Xia Yange possesses counter-surveillance capabilities and superhuman abilities. If you wish to enter, you must proceed with extreme caution!]

Three seconds later, the message was retracted.

Bai Weiran waited and waited, but the next message never came.

Clearly, the other party did not want these messages to be seen by others, which is why they said one thing and then withdrew it.

He gradually became anxious.

The failure of the mission was like a thorn in his side.

I don't know what happened to Mengmeng later.

I wonder if, after she recovers, those harem members and that scumbag Su Cheng will come back to bully her again.

She has a heart condition, and she's also greedy and loves playing games.

She's just like a little sister to me; it's hard to let her go.

"The entire project needs a major overhaul; it no longer meets current market demands."

Dong Zhengyuan paced back and forth in front of Bai Weiran, his steps almost rubbing the carpet until it caught fire.

The product conference had just ended when Bai Weiran was summoned by Dong Zhengyuan.

The company's introduction of the new team is a bombshell.

This left Dong Zhengyuan completely bewildered.

Dong Zhengyuan is now pulling him into a meeting, eager to seek innovation and change.

Dong Zhengyuan muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly stopped and looked at Bai Weiran with a serious and earnest expression.

"To be honest, I don't think much of the other plans. Weiran, out of so many people, I have the most faith in your abilities, you understand?"

Bai Weiran: ...Hello, I don't understand.

However, he understood one thing: the slick, unambitious people in the company all had a talent for acting.

If those disgusting things hadn't happened to him, just looking at Dong Zhengyuan's expression, he would have believed in the other party's sincerity.

“I gave you a C performance rating last time… that was because I had high expectations for you. I wanted you to improve. It’s not that you’re bad, it’s just that I wanted you to be better. Because I had higher expectations for you, I was stricter with you. Do you understand what I mean?”

Bai Weiran: ...Hello, I don't understand.

What kind of shonen anime setting is this, with a devilish coach and a genius athlete?

We're at a company, exchanging interests. Let's not talk about feelings when we should be talking about money.

He thought about it, but responded with a faint reply.

"So give me three new proposals to adjust the project by Friday."

"...?"

I'll decide on the general direction of the correction, so what will you do?

This is another of Dong Zhengyuan's signature moves.

He has no ideas of his own, so he does nothing, getting something for nothing. He lets others come up with plans, and he is only responsible for rejecting or approving them. When the plans are presented to the boss, he takes the credit for any successes and his subordinates take the blame for any failures.

Several previous lead planners were driven away by this kind of blame-shifting, and now it's finally my turn.

Dong Zhengyuan gave Bai Weiran, whose face remained motionless, a sly look.

He knew that Bai Weiran was very popular with General Manager Han Xin.

The best course of action would be to have Bai Weiran develop a comprehensive plan to adjust the entire project.

If he does well, I'll give him a brief mention, emphasizing that I've done a good job guiding him.

If he doesn't do well, I'll single him out. Even if the general manager doesn't punish him, his favorability towards Bai Weiran will decrease.

Slice the tofu with a knife until both sides are smooth.

Now all he needs to do is figure out a way to pin the blame on Bai Weiran.

To his surprise, Bai Weiran did not argue but accepted it calmly.

Bai Weiran is feeling a bit annoyed now that he knows about Yu Mengmeng.

He said he could start this task whenever he wanted, but he couldn't end it whenever he wanted.

You can't choose an S-level mission until you complete Zhen Jing's mission.

His current frustration made him too lazy to bother with Dong Zhengyuan's little scheme, even though he knew about it.

Instead, I really want to bury myself in my work.

In fact, he was quite dissatisfied with the current state of the project and had long had ideas, wishing he could make a thorough overhaul. Dong Zhengyuan thought he had been given a difficult problem, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Being able to adjust a product according to one's own wishes is a very rare opportunity. Only a project like Dong Zhengyuan's, which is on the verge of collapse, could do this. Projects with stable operations or good upward momentum generally do not have the space to adjust according to one's own wishes.

Opportunities always come in adversity.

He returned to his workstation, put on his headphones, turned on some music, and became completely absorbed in his work.

Work makes me happy and helps me forget my troubles.

Guoguo, Achao, and Qin Ning invited him to dinner, but he said he wasn't hungry and refused outright.

Ah Chao was unwilling to give up, but Guo Guo grabbed him and pulled him back.

"Forget it! When Bai Weiran enters that state, he won't even acknowledge the Heavenly King himself." Guoguo said knowingly, already used to it.

"He's a workaholic and a gaming addict. You guys don't understand normally, but you have to understand now. Believe me, he won't leave the company before midnight tonight. I bet five packs of spicy strips... Let's go downstairs and bring him a sandwich or a steamed bun when we come back."

Bringing him noodles or rice won't work; Bai Weiran can only eat food that he can hold in his hands and that won't interfere with his work.

Qin Ning nodded obediently, but her big eyes became deep and profound.

"...Sister Guoguo understands Brother Weiran so well..."

Guoguo, oblivious to the danger, sighed, "We're old buddies, if you don't understand, we'll both burp."

She thought of something else and turned to gently pinch Qin Ning's tender face.

"You're working too hard, liking a workaholic. Of all people to like, why this guy? Ningning! He must have saved the universe in his past life, and you must have ruined the universe to like him!"

Guoguo was filled with regret.

I just feel that Ningning, such an angel, deserves to have a domineering CEO to pamper her.

It can only be said that nature is the bane of yandere. When Guoguo pinched her like that, Qin Ning's eyes lit up again, and she looked all wronged.

"Sister Guoguo pinched me..."

"...Oh, was it too hard? I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

"Woooo..."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! Whew, I'll blow some more on Ningning and make the pain fly away!"

Seeing Qin Ning looking aggrieved and Guo Guo frantically trying to comfort her, A-Chao scratched his head.

That's weird. Am I the only one in the world who thinks something's off about the intern?

Ah Chao, I think she's faking her tears!

But I also find her a little scary, and I don't dare to say it out loud. What's wrong with me?

When Bai Weiran came to his senses, he looked at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and saw that it was already 11:50 p.m. Most of the workstations had been vacated, and the cleaning lady had already turned off the lights, leaving only his area lit.

Only then did he realize he was hungry.

Aside from eating a steamed bun and going to the restroom at eight o'clock, he didn't leave his workstation during the rest of the time, as he quickly moved back and forth between Zhen Jing's world.

He stretched his arms upwards, yawned, and exhaled.

"That feels so good."
