Xu Shou also sighed slightly. Perhaps he was still too naive.
From now on, such matters should be fully entrusted to Xu Ningbing.
"Chairman! Young Master is incredible! Shocked the entire audience, absolutely stunned them!"
The middle-aged man's smile was completely undisguised.
"What?"
Xu Shou's expression was grave as he immediately asked, "What exactly happened?"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and recounted everything that had occurred at the Su family, word for word.
Xu Shou and Xu Ningbing exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"You mean, Zhou Hening even publicly stated he wanted to take Xu Mu as his teacher?"
Xu Shou swallowed, unable to help but ask.
"Exactly! But Young Master didn't agree, saying they could exchange music in the future."
The middle-aged man explained.
"Alright, you may go."
Xu Shou leaned back in his boss's chair, waving his hand at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned and left, gently closing the office door.
"How is that possible? Does Xu Mu even understand music? And compose his own pieces?"
Xu Ningbing simply didn't believe it. "Could it be that he messed things up and deliberately had someone say that?"
"Ningbing..."
As Xu Shou was speaking, his phone vibrated.
He took it out, glanced at it, and a hint of a smile appeared. He first turned the phone to show Xu Ningbing.
Xu Ningbing saw the caller ID – it was Su Weiye's number.
Xu Shou answered the phone and put it on speaker.
Su Weiye's voice came through, "Chairman Xu, your son truly keeps a low profile; he keeps low profile until he makes an astonishing impact!"
"Old Su, you're too kind. Is there something I can help you with?"
"What else could it be? Your son is so outstanding, winning our family's contract, so I'm here to discuss cooperation! When do you have time?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shou's face showed a flicker of ecstasy, but his tone remained calm. "Anytime."
"Great, then tomorrow afternoon. I believe our two families have many areas where we can cooperate."
Su Weiye said with a smile.
"I'll give the contract immediately."
Xu Shou agreed.
After hanging up, Xu Shou looked at Xu Ningbing.
Xu Ningbing's cold and beautiful face looked a little unnatural. It really succeeded?
And the method Su Weiye came up with this time was to decide the outcome with a piano.
They couldn't even bring in outside help.
If Xu Ningbing went, they definitely wouldn't get the contract.
How could her mediocre piano skills compare to Mu Qingying's?
"Remember what you promised Xiao Mu. Maintain a smile when you see him."
Xu Shou stretched vigorously, feeling utterly delighted. "For the Su family collaboration, put some effort into it and see if we can revitalize our out-of-town companies."
"Okay."
Xu Ningbing nodded.
But she still found it incredible. When did Xu Mu learn piano? She had never heard of it.
The thought of having to smile at Xu Mu in the future made her feel completely uncomfortable.
...
The banquet on Xu Mu's side had already ended.
He had gained quite a bit this time. Besides Zhou Hening, he also added Su Weiye and Su Yaya contact information.
Taking a car back to the company, Xu Mu first returned to his own office.
"Good day, General Manager Xu."
"General Manager Xu."
...
As Xu Mu headed to his office, the company employees along the way hastily greeted him.
Their eyes held fear and flattery.
As the manager of the HR department and the chairman's son, Xu Mu held the power of life and death.
Anyone who made him uncomfortable would be directly fired.
Xu Mu arrived at his office and sat down in his chair.
He spun the chair, facing the window, and clicked on his system.
This time, the protagonist lost forty-five Fate Points.
He wanted to see if he had gained anything.
Sure enough, he noticed a new attribute had appeared at the top of the system page.
Name: Xu Mu
Character: Villain Saint Body, HR Manager of Xu Group.
Strength: 30
Speed: 43
Endurance: 30
Defense: 30
Fate Points: 45
Skills: Grandmaster Pianist, Master Chef.
Xu Mu carefully studied the system, then long-pressed the Fate Points attribute, and a related introduction appeared.
He read it several times and finally understood the Fate Points.
Fate Points are different from Righteousness Points used for draws.
Righteousness Points can only be used for draws, primarily obtained from supporting characters (i.e., goodwill).
But Fate Points can only be obtained from the protagonist.
This value can be exchanged for Righteousness Points at a ratio of one to ten.
It can also be used to increase other people's basic attributes.
This was terrifying.
Xu Mu hadn't expected that he could also enhance others.
He wasn't afraid of betrayal, because these Fate Points were his own.
He could give them to others or reclaim them.
Thinking of this, he decided to find someone to try it on first.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in!"
Xu Mu said.
The door opened, and a tall young man in a suit walked in.
He had a crew cut and was around thirty years old.
Through his memories, Xu Mu knew this man was Wang Biao, the driver Xu Shou had found for Xu Mu.
He also doubled as Xu Mu's assistant, almost like a secretary.
Xu Mu felt quite grateful to this person.
According to the original plot, Wang Biao had no parents and was raised by his grandmother.
When his grandmother was seriously ill, Xu Shou provided 600,000 yuan to help treat her, allowing her to live another six or seven years.
Wang Biao was extremely grateful to Xu Shou and very loyal to Xu Mu.
After the Dragon King returned, he was killed by the Dragon King's subordinates while trying to save Xu Mu.
Xu Mu checked Wang Biao's information.
Name: Wang Biao
Character: Driver
Goodwill: 1
Fate Level: 1 (Max Level 10)
Xu Mu long-pressed Wang Biao's name, and the detailed information also appeared.
Strength: 35
Speed: 20
Endurance: 30
Defense: 25
Xu Mu nodded to himself. Wang Biao was essentially a bodyguard Xu Shou had found for him.
Indeed, usually, several people couldn't get close to him.
He tried clicking on the other party's Strength.
Sure enough, a plus sign appeared next to Strength.
Clicking it once, his Strength became 36.
And Xu Mu's own Fate Points now became 44.
Xu Mu showed a faint smile. This way, he could also cultivate his own forces.
"Young Master Xu, these are the new batch of employee profiles. Please take a look."
Wang Biao placed a stack of documents on Xu Mu's desk. "Do you want to meet them? If not, I'll just have them report for duty tomorrow."
Xu Mu picked them up and flipped through them one by one.
Suddenly, his body stiffened.
"Young Master Xu, what's wrong?" Wang Biao asked curiously.
"Nothing, Old Wang, you go get busy." Xu Mu waved his hand at Wang Biao.
Wang Biao nodded and turned to leave.
Xu Mu now looked at a woman on one of the profiles, his eyes gradually growing cold.
The name on it was Meng Wanyue.
According to the plot, Meng Wanyue was one of the Dragon King's three thousand soldiers.
And she was an outstanding one.
Her joining the Xu Group proved that the Dragon King had already investigated and knew that the Ye family orphans, Ye Tong and Ye Yu, were currently with the Xu family.
And Meng Wanyue was precisely sent by the Dragon King to monitor the Xu family.
In the original plot, Meng Wanyue became Xu Mu's secretary.
Later, after her extensive investigation, she learned that Xu Mu often beat Ye Tong and made Ye Yu live in a dog kennel.
It was she who informed the Dragon King, and only then did the Dragon King return with his three thousand soldiers.
