Chapter 83: Chapter 43: Each with Their Own Agenda
A few days ago, Huang Xiaopang received two more mysterious documents from an overseas email that was randomly registered and then immediately canceled. The first was a text file, but when opened, it was just a bunch of garbled characters. The second file was actually a decoding program.
If you’re not a professional, you wouldn’t understand this kind of email at all, and you probably wouldn’t dare to open it casually. Huang Xiaopang downloaded them and opened them on another computer that wasn’t connected to the internet, then deciphered the content.
Last time, he received some mysterious messages that talked to him about Hidden Moth and pointed out that Qian Guran was quite suspicious, advising him to be careful. Clearly, someone had guessed his identity but showed goodwill.
Although this mysterious email came from a different email address, it was very likely from the same person as last time. The content was an introduction to the Magic Sect, sorcerers, and techniques, and it reminded him to destroy it after reading.
The latter part of the email specifically introduced several sorcerers, such as Peng Xian, the boss of Jinxing Media cooperating with the division, who is a Tier Two Angler from the Xingshen Sect.
Peng Xian is here for Hidden Moth. This person is up to no good, and he even has his sights set on Gao Xue’e, hoping to play a pretty boy trick.
More importantly, Peng Xian once did a psychological profile for "Hidden Moth," and the features are very similar to Huang Xiaopang. The email also advised him to avoid meeting this person face to face as much as possible.
Another example is Liang Kai, the person missing from Sesame Apartment, who is a Tier Two Mountain Guest from the Alchemy Sect and is suspected of plotting against Lin Hua Lei, a disciple of the Observing Body Sect.
Liang Kai’s senior brother, Zhao Hai Zhen, and Lin Hua Lei’s master, Lin Qingshuang, have already been to Qi Yuan City to investigate. These sorcerers have mysterious and unfathomable means...
The email introduced several sorcerers, not forgetting to mention Qian Guran at the end, stating that Old Qian’s identity is confirmed as a Tier Three Zongheng Scholar from the Qi Observation Sect, but he and that elder Lin Qingshuang should harbor no malice.
If someone else received this kind of email, they might feel puzzled, wondering who had so much time to write a fantasy novel and send it for them to read? And this isn’t even a novel, just a setting!
Did the sender send it to the wrong email? I’m not a manuscript editor!
But Huang Xiaopang wouldn’t dare think that way... Last time, he met a lady outside a barbecue restaurant who said there was something wrong with his bracelet, giving him quite a fright.
He naturally knew what was wrong with his bead bracelet, so he no longer wore it on his wrist when going out but kept it in his pocket, fearing someone would notice more clues.
The sender of the mysterious email, who can accurately send it to his work email rather than those randomly registered emails left at various websites, has a very limited scope of identification.
Who could know his situation so well and hold such goodwill, not only warning him of danger but willing to share secrets... actually, the answer is already obvious.
But since that person hasn’t revealed their identity, perhaps they don’t want to break the silence. Huang Xiaopang feels it’s inappropriate to bring it up, instead feeling a mix of guilt and awkwardness.
Xiaopang has concerns now, and he doesn’t have the energy to lash out at people anymore. President E finds him more agreeable now, as the silent Xiaopang is cuter.
This afternoon, He Kao had something to do and took leave early; Xiaopang guessed he went to the bank.
The matter of the safe deposit box Zhou Du left behind couldn’t remain secret, because He Changshan helped with various proof procedures at the police station, and many people in town knew about it.
On the last working day before the Golden Week holiday, many people had lost the heart to fight, and several had taken leave early. Even Gao Xue’e wasn’t entirely unfeeling; she approved leave wherever she could.
Huang Xiaopang and Qian Guran also wanted to take leave, but President E refused with a stern face.
The usually reticent Huang Xiaopang couldn’t help but speak up and argue, saying that President E was being discriminatory, only not approving his leave because he wasn’t as handsome as He Kao.
Gao Xue’e rolled her eyes in exasperation, but this time, Huang Xiaopang was truly unreasonable because his work wasn’t finished yet.
Old Qian didn’t say much, just packed his things quietly, planning to leave while President E wasn’t paying attention. He didn’t care about the hassle and had already planned to stake out He Kao at the bank; being absent for half the day didn’t bother him.
Just then, good news arrived: Old Qian got promoted!
For positions at the level of vice president or above in the Qi Yuan Branch, the appointment must come from the Tengxin Group’s headquarters. The appointment documents have just been issued, but he can’t take office until after the holiday.
In the Tengxin Group’s system, the project team appoints one supervisor and no more than two deputy supervisors, sometimes not setting deputy supervisors at all but appointing several team leaders instead.
Based on the size and number of departments in the division, apart from a president, there are usually two to four vice presidents.
The Qi Yuan Branch, which is also the Cloud Services Division, besides President Fang Qizhi, originally had only one vice president, President Liu, who was stationed from the headquarters.
So whether it’s the project team or the business unit, there are vacancies for deputy supervisors and vice presidents.
Given Old Qian’s qualifications, many people originally thought he would be promoted to deputy supervisor of the project team after the transition period, temporarily becoming Gao Xue’e’s deputy. But he made a tier-three leap, skipping over Gao Xue’e to become vice president directly.
The President Fang and Vice President Liu of the branch have already started their vacation mode early and are not in the office at the moment; they’ve sent messages to congratulate, wishing for a smooth cooperation in the future.
While the appointment letter could have been sent just to the company intranet, the administrative director, who was still on duty, personally ran over to announce the good news, and everyone clapped to congratulate President Qian.
