Chapter 704: Chapter 704

"Wait a second!" Zhang Xiaohao interrupted with a laugh.

"Brother Zhang, what’s up?" Li Chenggong asked, puzzled.

"To be honest, I really don’t know the salary for the head of the first division in HR," Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"Ah! Brother Zhang, aren’t you from inside the company?" Li Chenggong asked.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Then how do you not know the salary of the head of the first division in HR?" Li Chenggong asked, puzzled.

"I rarely come to the company," Zhang Xiaohao admitted.

"..." Li Chenggong was speechless.

"Don’t just stand there, go follow Ah Bao quickly!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Ah! Yes, Brother Zhang, I’ll go now." Li Chenggong snapped back to reality and said.

Following behind Ah Bao, he made his way inside the company.

Zhang Xiaohao took out the cell phone that Cheng Tianxue had given him and dialed her number.

After ringing for a while, the call connected.

"What’s the matter?" Cheng Tianxue’s sweet voice came through the phone.

"I missed you," Zhang Xiaohao said with a laugh.

"Stop being silly, get to the point if you have something to say," Cheng Tianxue said.

"Xue’er, I really missed you," Zhang Xiaohao repeated.

"Humph! If you really missed me, you would come back!" Cheng Tianxue’s plaintive voice came through.

"Wife’s orders, even if I have to fly, I’ll fly back!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Hm? You haven’t already come back, have you? I just heard that there was an incident outside the company, but it’s been resolved now. Was it you who dealt with it?" Cheng Tianxue asked.

"Wife, you’re so smart!" Zhang Xiaohao praised.

"Stop goofing around! Where have you been these days?" Cheng Tianxue inquired.

"Wife, when I come back tonight, I’ll explain everything to you slowly, but right now, I have a little situation," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"What is it?" Cheng Tianxue asked.

So, Zhang Xiaohao recounted Li Chenggong’s situation to her.

"Okay, I got it! Starting now, his salary will be fifteen thousand a month, with various benefits and bonuses included. As long as he’s willing to work hard, his annual salary won’t be less than two hundred thousand!" Cheng Tianxue said.

"Thanks, wife!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Humph!" Cheng Tianxue snorted softly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaohao put it away. Check latest chapters at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Eh! What’s with those looks?" Zhang Xiaohao asked curiously.

Li Xiaolu and a group of people were stretching their necks and pricking up their ears, looking at him curiously.

"Ah! Mr. Zhang, we didn’t see anything, we didn’t hear anything! Um, just passing by," Li Xiaolu and the others hurriedly stated.

Saying so, they looked up at the sky, down at the ground, and returned to their positions.

"These guys!" Zhang Xiaohao cursed with a laugh.

"Qing Mian, come with me." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Yes, my lord," Qing Mian responded.

Following behind Zhang Xiaohao, they made their way inside the company.

"Mr. Zhang, hello!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao, Zhang Jiao greeted him respectfully.

"When are you going to invite me to your wedding?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a smile.

"Humph! I haven’t agreed to marry that dummy yet!" Zhang Jiao said bashfully.

"Oh? Maybe I’ll reintroduce him to someone else in a couple of days," Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

"Ah! Mr. Zhang, please don’t!" Zhang Jiao hurriedly said.

"Haha..." Zhang Xiaohao laughed loudly.

He left Little Black temporarily with Zhang Jiao for care, taking Qing Mian with him, and took the elevator to the upper floors.

Upon reaching the tenth floor, he casually walked into a rest room.

Qing Mian closed the door and stood beside Zhang Xiaohao.

"There’s no outsiders here, no need to be so formal! Sit," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Hehe," Qing Mian chuckled and sat down on the sofa opposite him.

"Are your injuries okay?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"It’s nothing serious. With the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill to protect me, it was just a minor external injury. I’ll recover after some rest! But I can’t figure out how a common cultivator was able to stand firm against my Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill in a head-on conflict?" Qing Mian wondered aloud.

"He’s not human!" Zhang Xiaohao declared.

"What? Could it be a ghost?" Qing Mian exclaimed in disbelief.

"..." Zhang Xiaohao was speechless.

"He is a half-orc, a genetic evolver from the United States! From my earlier contact with him, he seems to be a superior half-orc with a genetic evolution rate of over ninety percent! Moreover, the evolved genes mainly focus on defense and strength! If you were to engage in agile combat with him, even three guys like him wouldn’t be a match for you! Besides, your Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill hasn’t even reached a minor level of mastery! To achieve such an effect already is quite astonishing," Zhang Xiaohao explained.

"No wonder, I was thinking, why during our fight, I kept feeling like something was about to burst from his belly, rolling around like that. So that’s the reason!" Qing Mian suddenly realized.

"Next time you encounter such a person, don’t clash head-on with him until you’ve cultivated your Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill to a minor level! With your agile fighting style, even a few of them are no match for you," Zhang Xiaohao advised.

"Got it," Qing Mian responded.

Zhang Xiaohao flipped his hand and from the Shennong Ring, he took out some elixirs for cultivation and a piece of Ice Skin Lotus and placed them on the table.

"Take these," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Ah! My lord, what are these?" Qing Mian asked, puzzled.

"These are for you, take them," Zhang Xiaohao repeated.

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony!" Qing Mian said.

With a sweep of his hand, he collected everything from the table.

"Eh! My lord, is this Ice Skin Lotus? The legendary Ice Skin Lotus that is said to fortify the body for common people and increase cultivation for practitioners?" Qing Mian exclaimed in surprise.

"Eh! You recognize it?" Zhang Xiaohao asked suspiciously.

"I’ve seen it mentioned in a book before," Qing Mian explained.

"Yes, this is indeed Ice Skin Lotus! Now hurry up and put it away," Zhang Xiaohao urged.

"My lord, what’s wrong?" Qing Mian asked, confused.

"I’ve got a bad feeling, like something’s out to get me," Zhang Xiaohao said, frowning.

"Can’t be! My lord, with your strength, who would dare target you?" Qing Mian said in shock.

"Woof woof!" Just as Qing Mian finished speaking, the sound of a little dog barking suddenly came from outside the door.

"Damn it! I knew it! Why would I have a bad feeling... It’s this damn dog!" Zhang Xiaohao cursed under his breath.

Seeing Qing Mian still sitting there dumbfounded, playing with the Ice Skin Lotus in his hands.

"Don’t just sit there in a daze! Hurry up and put away the Ice Skin Lotus!" Zhang Xiaohao urged.

No sooner had his words ended than the door was violently burst open from the outside.

Immediately after, a black shadow swiftly flashed in from the outside.

"Ah! My Ice Skin Lotus!" Qing Mian cried out in dismay.
