Most people’s fighting spirit had already been reduced to ashes after years of hardship.
Her bold declaration failed to receive much support, but it did stir up the pride of a group of men.
If even a little girl dared to fight, why shouldn’t they? At worst, they would lose a job. They could deliver takeout, deliver packages, or do anything else; they would not starve.
But she would probably lose everything if she lost those things.
Since that was the case, why couldn’t they agree?
“Fine.”
“I can do it.”
“I can do it too. It’s good to learn something.”
The nine people agreed one after another.
However...
Hu Feng remained silent for a long time. Although the current salary was not high, he was already at an age where, even if he found another job, he could not keep up with the younger people.
Moreover, he had an entire family to support...
Some things could not be accomplished by merely talking about them.
“What about you, Manager Hu?” Su Jingsheng looked at Hu Feng.
His expression was solemn. Perhaps he had made an important decision. He gritted his teeth and finally spoke. “Fine. I agree.”
He was the most professional person among them. If even he refused, then all the time he had spent here would have been for nothing.
Most of the classmates who had started out with him had become supervisors at major Game Companies, living on annual salaries of millions and managing dozens of people.
He had nothing but a reputation, and he earned less than their toes were worth. Since he had been given an opportunity, he would seize it with all his strength. He absolutely could not lose!
“Since Manager Su has made up her mind, we’ll work hard with the mindset that we have nothing to lose. Losing is losing. We’re grown men—what can’t we bear?”
Hu Feng instantly became fired up.
“That’s right. There’s nothing we can’t bear.”
“What are we afraid of? It’s not as if our lives are at stake.”
The roar of a group of homebody men could shake people’s hearts just as well.
The smile in Su Jingsheng’s eyes grew even deeper. Since they had agreed, they could proceed to the next step. It was impossible to poach professionals from major Companies.
No one would come.
They could only borrow them.
The Su Corporation could not get involved, but Mia could help with this.
“Then take the day to rest. Tomorrow, we’ll officially begin studying. I’ll find you a teacher.” Su Jingsheng picked up her phone and went aside to contact Mia.
It was a small matter, and Mia readily agreed.
The next day, the teacher Mia had found arrived. He was the design team manager of the largest game company at present and was highly familiar with every aspect of game production.
They were only borrowing him for a month, so time was limited.
They had to learn quickly.
The group, which had originally been lifeless, began arriving early and leaving late. As soon as the teacher arrived, they followed him and learned from him. Whenever they did not understand something, they did not pretend otherwise.
With fresh blood joining them, everything felt different.
They also gained a little more hope for the future.
The problems that had once made them want to beat their heads against a wall could be solved with a single sentence from someone else. They could not help but admire that person completely.
Seeing the atmosphere come alive, Su Jingsheng was delighted.
She secretly sent Mia a text message of thanks.
Mia quickly replied, “Between the two of us, who are we thanking? But your younger sister is getting married. Can you explain this to me?”
Previously, Mia had heard Su Jingsheng say that she had a boyfriend, so she had not paid much attention.
But now, who could tell her why the wedding invitation burning in her palm had Shen Mingfeng listed as the groom?
Su Jingsheng suddenly sighed. She had not expected Mia to find out so quickly. Then again, they were about to get married. How could the Su Family not send the Mi Family a wedding invitation?
How was she supposed to explain it?
That she had been harmed by her younger sister and ex-boyfriend and had lost everything?
Xiao Ya would probably take a knife to the wedding to demand justice for her.
“A scumbag isn’t good enough for me, so I dumped him.” Su Jingsheng tried her best to keep Mia from hearing the soul-crushing pain in her voice.
“All right. Breaking up is fine too. Introduce me to that boyfriend of yours from last time when you have the chance. After I came back, I looked at Uncle Lu’s photos again, and I strongly suspect that man was Lu Qingyu. Don’t tell me you’ve been hiding something from me and playing some sort of emotional game with him. He has quite a reputation for getting involved with women.”
Lu Qingyu.
That man really was named Lu Qingyu, but he should not have anything to do with the Tianfeng Consortium, right?
How could someone so down-and-out that he had to hide in her apartment to escape trouble possibly be?
They probably just had the same name. Perhaps he had relied on their shared surname to impersonate the heir of that consortium and scam money everywhere. Even his counterfeit designer goods had been for the sake of putting on an act.
Su Jingsheng truly had no favorable impression of Xiaobao’s father.
“No, you’re overthinking it. But will you attend the wedding?” Su Jingsheng asked.
“I don’t know.”
If it had been Jingsheng’s wedding, she definitely would have worn a matching short skirt and accompanied her all the way into the marriage hall.
Even if Shen Mingfeng was a scumbag, at least he had been with Jingsheng for so many years. His appearance was enough to make her nauseous, so it was better not to see him.
“All right, I still have something to do here. That’s all for now. Bye-bye.” Su Jingsheng hung up.
Then she turned and plunged back into the team.
Seeing their own manager arrive, the men surrounding the teacher took several steps back.
The teacher said with a smile, “Manager Su, you should stand beside me from now on. Otherwise, I’ll either be suffocated by their stench of sweat or eaten alive. They’re all clinging to me. What, does my flesh smell delicious?”
Su Jingsheng glanced back. The group had laughed until their faces turned red, clearly feeling embarrassed.
They could not help it. They were all nearsighted. How could they see anything without getting close?
But she could guarantee that every one of them was as straight as an iron rod. They absolutely were not that sort of person.
Su Jingsheng smiled slightly. “We’ll draw a line behind you from now on. They won’t be allowed to come any closer.”
“That works.” The teacher casually joked a few more times before continuing to teach them.
In just a few days, everyone’s progress had improved by leaps and bounds, and they had begun working on some new projects.
Tianfeng Consortium.
Assistant Xiao took a bright-red wedding invitation from the reception desk. He had seen plenty of things like this.
Not just anyone could get President Lu to attend.
He was just about to throw it into the trash can, but before doing so, Xiao Xu decided to take a look. There seemed to be quite a few marriage announcements lately, and he did not know who this one was for.
After seeing the groom’s name, he could not help showing a look of disdain.
What kind of nobody dared to deliver a wedding invitation to the Tianfeng Consortium? Had he not checked his own location tracking?
When his gaze shifted to the bride’s name, his eyes moved slightly, and his expression grew more solemn.
His fingertips trembled slightly, but he still placed it in his hand and knocked on the door of the president’s office.
“President Lu, this is a wedding invitation from the Su Family.” Assistant Xiao cautiously looked at Lu Qingyu and inexplicably lowered his voice. “The groom is Shen Mingfeng, and the bride is Su Yuning.”
The man raised his cold eyes. His long hand covered the wedding invitation. After casually opening it, he threw it straight into the trash can.
Seeing this action, Assistant Xiao immediately felt his scalp go numb.
Originally, the Su Corporation was not worthy of their attention, but the younger sister of the young miss of the Su Family was the little president’s biological mother.
Still, when had President Lu started caring about the Su Family? And why had he lost his temper so badly?
Assistant Xiao braced himself and cautiously asked, “President Lu, should I go reject it?”
In the past, he had never needed to ask. But this time, he could not fathom his boss’s thoughts, so it was better to ask.
