The Weird Life Game: Starting as a Department Head

Chapter 13 Off-field operations

Inside the Shuiyue Dongtian themed private room, Lu Tingxue's fate left the other artists with nothing to do.

Or rather, I felt extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Tingxue attracted the attention of all the sponsors, but they could not leave their seats rashly.

Surrounded by a cold and indifferent atmosphere, the five people looked at Lu Tingxue with some dissatisfaction.

Xu Hang hoped that Lu Tingxue could take the safest path, but it was her own plan to use tonight's fame as an excuse.

Xu Hang has no interest in being a parent or helping others decide their lives. Although he doesn't particularly enjoy it, he understands that he should respect other people's ideas.

He devoted more of his energy to Yang Feng in the remaining time.

Openly staring is certainly not a good idea, but fortunately, our location offered a good vantage point.

With just a glance, one can "inadvertently" catch the other person's eye without being noticed.

During this time, the police chief and Zhang Yi's investigation information was transmitted back via mobile phone. No other members of the Black and White Groups were found in the vicinity, which can be considered as Yang Feng having no one to meet him.

But this made it impossible for Xu Hang to let his guard down.

At the dinner table, Lu Tingxue and the sponsors chatted happily.

She didn't change her usual somewhat aloof personality; instead, she added a touch of gentleness to it.

The combination of the two created an atmosphere of ambiguous closeness, which made all the sponsors present act like upright gentlemen, discussing all sorts of serious topics with her.

They spoke of their goals, ideals, and lives, and elaborated on their respective pursuits.

When they got emotional, they even shed tears, and the group of people almost became lifelong best friends in front of Lu Tingxue.

When Lu Tingxue encountered topics she was somewhat familiar with, she would express her own views. When she encountered topics she didn't understand, she would listen patiently and offer praise when the other person lost interest in speaking.

In the back-and-forth struggle, Xu Hang finally saw Lu Tingxue for the third time.

Lu Tingxue remained calm and composed in the face of the bizarre game.

Lu Tingxue chose to become an artist in pursuit of her dream.

Lu Tingxue, who is both close and distant, manipulates men with ease.

The ancients used the phrase "eight faces and exquisite skill" to describe a person who is good at socializing. This means being able to show eight different faces to people from eight different directions.

Most people don't only have one face, which made Xu Hang think of a possibility.

I find it strange that my classmates are so calm in the classroom.

Could it be that the truth is, they aren't that strange, and we just don't understand them?

The moment this thought crossed Xu Hang's mind, he burst out laughing at himself.

Suddenly transported to a classroom floating in space, the group of people remained calm and composed; no normal person would act like that.

"What's wrong? You look troubled?"

He Xiyan, who was standing nearby, noticed the change in Xu Hang's expression and asked with concern:

"Is it because of Lu Tingxue?"

"There's some connection, I suppose; it brought back some memories."

"Did you pursue her back then?"

"I barely spoke more than a few words to her back then."

Xu Hang sighed:

"I've never been good at socializing. Many people in my class are just nodding acquaintances. As for the friendship between classmates, it's just that we went to school together in the same place."

"There's nothing to lament; most people's lives are like this."

He Xiyan talked about herself:

"Back when I was in school, I felt like I was surrounded by people—my best friends, my friends, and the boys who wanted to date me."

Now that I'm 29, I can't find anyone to confide in when it's late at night.

I could still contact you before, but now I can only contact large AI models.

"Isn't that great? Always going along with you, always providing positive feedback."

"What I need is a heart-to-heart connection, not a fully automated praise robot waiting to catch me."

He Xiyan sighed:

"You're still the same as before, with absolutely no emotional intelligence. I really don't know how your wife ever married you."

"I guess I was lucky."

At this point, Xu Hang noticed that a female artist had left the private room.

"Director, the equipment is in automatic shooting mode, no need to operate it for now, I'm going to the restroom."

He came to report to He Xiyan, the person in charge at the scene, before leaving.

"Take it easy, you don't need to report these little things to me."

He Xiyan waved her hand, Yang Feng nodded, and quickly left.

Xu Hang's gaze remained fixed on him until the other person left through the door.

He immediately sent a text message to Guan Chang and Zhang Yi, who were outside disguised as security guards, to take action.

Although there was no basis for it, Xu Hang felt it was best to be absolutely certain.

He knew very well that if Lu Tingxue made a mistake, not only would she suffer misfortune, but her family would also suffer misfortune.

He himself was also doomed, and his hopes for resuming work and production rested on her.

In this situation, you can't be too vigilant.

Outside the room, in a quiet corridor, a girl looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her.

She opened the door to the accessible restroom and slipped inside.

About a minute later, Yang Feng arrived at the restroom, made sure no one had noticed him, and quickly walked into the accessible restroom.

Almost a minute later, two men dressed as security guards rushed into the men's restroom and quickly came out again.

They looked at the women's restroom on the other side with troubled expressions.

"Should we look for it?"

Someone asked.

"you go?"

Another person countered with a question.

"What if someone's inside?"

One person is unwilling to give up.

"What if there are a lot of people inside?"

The other person was very worried.

After hesitating for a while, the two still hadn't mustered the courage to retreat to the corridors on either side.

Inside the accessible restroom, Yang Feng was explaining some things to the girl.

"We'll mention as many of her habits as possible to ensure authenticity. Your name, appearance, and even your voice will be altered so that no one will recognize you."

After explaining, he didn't forget to make a promise:

"In return, after a period of time when no one doubts you because of this, I will give you an exclusive interview."

The girl standing opposite Yang Feng nodded solemnly:

"I've disliked her for a long time. She always acts aloof, but when she sees an opportunity, she's the first to pounce on it."

It's like a starving dog seeing bones.

Later, Yang Feng conducted a covert interview. After he finished, he came out of the restroom and noticed a burly man after turning the corner.

The other person was wearing a security guard uniform and deliberately pulled his hat down so that his face could not be seen.

He brushed past the other person unintentionally, catching a glimpse of their face out of the corner of his eye.

In an instant, my heart and my steps slowed down simultaneously.

The next moment, he dug his nails into his flesh, clenched his fists, and walked back to the private room, trying to appear calm.

He was certain he hadn't mistaken the other person for Guan Fei, a member of the full-color team.

Why are they here? Could it be that Xu Hang arranged this?

The rule against harming each other during the hunt has been broken. Are they going to poison themselves?

Having just done something wrong, Yang Feng was quite sensitive at this moment.

"Yang Feng, why have you been gone for so long?"

Just then, a familiar voice startled him. He looked up and saw Xu Hang walking towards him.
