"Our chapter president's secretary."

"..."

Isn't it the same?

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the small conference room.

Everyone shifted their gaze over there.

"Come in." said the sickle.

The door was pushed open, and Jiang Lu waved to everyone: "Good evening, I heard you were all here, so I came to see you."

When they saw Jiang Lu, the young exorcists who had worked with him responded enthusiastically.

The HR director was also a little surprised: "You came at the right time, great contributor."

Even the poker-faced Scythe looked much more relaxed, but his tone was still serious: "You came just in time, we just finished a meeting."

"Oh?" Jiang Lu walked in carelessly: "So we can catch up with the celebration banquet?"

"There is no such thing." Scythe shook his head.

"Tsk, there's no sense of ceremony." Jiang Lu shook his head in disappointment.

Although the others had not thought about holding a celebration party, they were somewhat tempted after hearing Jiang Lu mention it. After all, according to the timeline of the real world, they had just arrived yesterday and would be leaving tomorrow, and they had not yet had a proper gathering.

But after hearing the sickle's death sentence, they would be lying if they said they were not disappointed.

"However." Scythe changed the subject: "We didn't have it originally, but we can prepare it now."

Jiang Lu smiled and said, "Wow, there really is a good dish. We must get drunk before we finish eating, right?"

After this separation, I don’t know how long it will take before we meet again. Maybe we will never see each other again, because by the time there is a chance, I may have already returned to the underworld.

Although they are just passers-by, Jiang Lu cherishes every person who appears in his life.

Just like now, he still clearly remembers the names of those little angels on the road who paid for their passage with sex in Andan's small intestine.

However, just as everyone was actively responding to Jiang Lu's call for a drinking contest, the sickle rejected the call somewhat disappointingly, "You guys drink, I won't join in."

"why?"

"I'm going to drive to Jinghu City to meet the president tomorrow. There are many ghosts and spirits outside the safe zone. I must stay alert at all times and never get drunk."

"Oh? You are going to Jinghu City too?" Jiang Lu raised his eyebrows.

Scythe asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Because I'm going there too, of course."

Jiang Lu stroked his chin and said, "But I didn't expect that a branch president would have to drive the car himself. It's a bit embarrassing."

"No matter who it is, they can only drive."

"Isn't there a helipad on the roof?"

"...That doesn't mean we have a plane."

"That's not necessarily true." Jiang Lu's smile gradually became perverted: "Since you are my leader, I will be merciful and let you take my ride!"

"What machine?"

Chapter 276 I swear

It would be more accurate to say that Scythe didn't understand what Jiang Lu said rather than that he just couldn't believe it.

After the [Ten Days of Hell] spiritual realm ended, he personally read Jiang Lu's file.

He grew up in an orphanage. If you don't say he is penniless, you can say he is living under someone else's roof. He doesn't even have a car, but now he says he has a private jet.

This is impossible just by thinking about it.

"You...are you trying to hint that I should reward you with a plane?"

Scythe tapped the tabletop with his fingertips somewhat nervously:

"Although I admit that you have made a significant contribution in the negotiations, this request is still too..."

"is not what it means."

Jiang Lu said casually: "It's not my plane, it's the plane that came to pick me up. Didn't you say you were going to the headquarters? I want to go too."

Then, Jiang Lu told Kamadao that he had asked for leave from the guild and was preparing to go to Jinghu City.

But the sickle was still a little strange: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Jinghu City?"

But before Jiang Lu could organize his words, the HR director next to him thought of something, then leaned close to Sickle and whispered something.

After listening to the HR director's words, Scythe asked curiously, "Is the plane that came to pick you up related to the Xin faction?"

"Why are you asking so directly?" The HR director didn't expect that he had just told Sickle about his guess all along, and the latter asked so directly without even a hint of tact.

However, Scythe didn't seem to care about the HR director's thoughts at all. He just looked at Jiang Lu, waiting for his answer.

Jiang Lu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Yes."

"Hiss..." The HR director took a breath and said, "Is that really the case?"

The impact of speculation and hearing the confession from the person involved is obviously different.

It turns out that Jiang Lu really has a close relationship with the Xin faction, which explains why he was able to settle down directly without going through the branch.

The other young exorcists present also looked at Jiang Lu in amazement.

They certainly knew what the Xin faction meant. When the former president Xin Yuanxing had not yet stepped down, this was the largest faction within the Exorcist Guild and had the greatest say.

Even though Xin Yuanxing has now retreated behind the scenes, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The Xin faction still enjoys many privileges and still has residual power. It can still compete with any other faction or even suppress it.

For exorcists with no background, being accepted by the Xin School is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

However, Jiang Lu is clearly more than just an ordinary success.

Someone personally sent a plane to pick him up to the headquarters. This was a treatment that even the middle-level officials of the Xin faction could not have. The only person capable of doing such a thing could be one of the few people in charge.

This made them start to speculate what kind of mysterious identity Jiang Lu had.

Could he be the old president’s illegitimate son?

They really wanted to ask, but were afraid of violating some taboo by speaking carelessly, so they did not dare to open their mouths.

Qingying and Hongchuang did not have this concern, but they were worried whether their relationship would be affected?

You know, in this era when exorcists are in power, the Xin faction can be called a family of aristocratic wealth. Even though Jiang Lu's last name is not Xin, judging from his treatment, his status is definitely frighteningly high.

But they can only be considered an exorcist group with some fame, and at best third-tier stars.

Is it possible for a third-tier star to gain the attention of a chaebol?

A-list celebrities are only meant to be treated as playthings, right?

So, they looked at each other, saw confusion in each other's eyes, and then started to have wild thoughts.

However, compared to the shock of the young exorcists, Scythe's reaction was much calmer.

"Is that so? Then I'll take advantage of you and fly to Jinghu City tomorrow."

"hiss..."

The personnel minister took another breath and almost caused global warming.

Others don't understand Sickle, but he has worked with him for many years and understands his character.

But Scythe never likes to take advantage of others. Even if he starves to death, dies outside, or jumps off a building, he would never eat a bite of food from others.

But when he no longer cares about these issues of principle, it means that he has regarded the other party as someone he can make friends with and treats him sincerely, so he does not care about trivial matters.

But the gap in status between the two is obviously so huge, and when Sickle first met Jiang Lu, he seemed to have complained to him about the headquarters randomly stuffing people into the branch because he thought he was a relative who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

It's only been a few days, how come your attitude has changed so much?

This made the personnel minister feel incredible and a little annoyed.

If he had known that Jiang Lu would admit it so easily and be so easy to talk to, he should have asked him directly about his guess earlier.

Obviously, Sickle knew about Jiang Lu's background later than himself, but he ended up being the one who took advantage of the situation first and climbed up the ladder.

This is the rising star who is picked up and dropped off by Xin’s private jet. He will definitely become a powerful figure in the guild in the future. If you make friends with him now, you will definitely reap huge rewards in the future.

Now I am happy again, brother.

However, as Scythe's subordinate and good friend, the Human Resources Minister was somewhat relieved.

Sickle was too rigid, inflexible, and had no background, so he suffered a lot of oppression when he was young. Later, he relied on his own efforts and hard power to get his current piece of land. However, among dozens of branches, the Chishan branch is an extremely inconspicuous one.

If we can maintain some connections through Jiang Lu's relationship in Jinghu City this time, Sickle will definitely get more attention in the future, and the Chishan branch will have a much better time.

Just like the branch president of Qinghu District, because Xin Yuanxing is behind him, no matter how absurd he is, no one dares to say anything about him as long as there is no big trouble.

"No problem." Jiang Lu didn't know what the HR director was thinking, he just snapped his fingers and said, "Of course."

Next, it’s time for the celebration banquet.

Since Jiang Lu had just taken off his vest, although the actual situation of the vest was a little different from what everyone thought, it still made those young exorcists who were already a little distant from Jiang Lu seem a little restrained in front of him.

It was not until three rounds of drinks, and with Jiang Lu being very relaxed, that the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Classical music, blind boxes, and others no longer look as proud as they did when they first met.

One reason was that Jiang Lu had shown them his strength in the Spirit Realm, and in reality he had shown them how strong his connections were. The gap was so huge that they no longer even had the desire to catch up.

The second reason is that when a person becomes powerful, everyone around him will be a good person.

Not to mention not giving a good face, people won't even say harsh words to you.

This is the change brought about by the improvement of status.

What surprised them even more was that Jiang Lu was different from the second and third generation people they had imagined. He had no airs at all and seemed to have forgotten that they had looked down on him in the past. They were still very pleasant to get along with.

"This is the charm of personality." Gu Dian Le, who was sitting opposite Jiang Lu, sighed silently: "How can I compare with him?"

Even though he was the leader of the Qinghu District's strategy team, and his position was equivalent to that of a sword-bearer, he still felt inferior to Jiang Lu.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and Jiang Lu returned to his private room only after he and Sickle agreed to set off together the next morning.

Accompanying him were naturally the light shadow and the red window.
