32: Chapter 32 Arrival at the Branch

"What did you say?"

In Lanshi City, at the Blue Cave Technology branch, branch supervisor Xie Wei looked at her assistant beside her in disbelief.

"Supervisor, headquarters just issued an emergency notice. special grade supervisor Zhao Changdong and some high-level officials from the North Region Branch will soon arrive in Lanshi."

"Are you joking with me?"

Xie Wei still couldn't believe it.

The Main World was divided into five regions, and Lanshi City was just a third-tier city in the North Region.

Not to mention the special grade supervisor from headquarters; she had barely seen the high-level officials from the North Region Branch a few times.

"I don't know what's going on either, but that's what the notice said."

Xie Wei's assistant, also a pretty young woman, looked very flustered.

"Alright, I understand."

Xie Wei finally accepted reality. Although she didn't know the specific reason, thinking it over, it probably wasn't anything bad.

What status did she, Xie Wei, have, and what status did a special grade supervisor have? What had she done to deserve such an important person coming all this way?

Since it had nothing to do with her, what Xie Wei needed to do was to prepare the reception as best she could.

...

"Master, Administrator just sent a message. Supervisor Zhao has returned to the Main World and will soon arrive at the Lanshan branch."

"Mm, I understand."

Chen Mo nodded, turned back to glance at the Family still in a tense atmosphere, and silently stood up.

"Xiao Mo, where are you going?"

Seeing Chen Mo about to leave, Du Ruo, who had been accompanying him, asked in surprise.

"Some personal business. I'll be back soon." Chen Mo explained quietly, then walked out of the mourning hall under Du Ruo's puzzled gaze.

"Strange, why do I feel like this kid is hiding something from me?"

Du Ruo frowned, stood up, and was about to follow. But before he could step out, an elder from the Du Family who had come to pay respects called him back.

"Brat, do you think this is your own home? Get back here!"

"Damn!" Du Ruo had no choice but to stop and watch Chen Mo disappear from sight.

A quarter of an hour later, at the Lanshi City Supernatural Business District, in front of Blue Cave Technology.

"Sorry, sir, our branch is undergoing internal renovations today and is temporarily closed to the public."

"Is that so?"

Chen Mo stopped, hesitated for a moment, and was about to state the real reason for his visit.

"Eh, it's you, kid."

Xie Wei walked over in surprise, immediately recognizing the young man who had left a deep impression on her.

"Sister Wei, you look really beautiful today." Chen Mo greeted her warmly, throwing in a compliment.

"Ha, that mouth of yours!" Xie Wei shook her head, but she was clearly pleased.

To welcome the leader's inspection, she had indeed dressed up carefully today.

Although what Chen Mo said was true, women always liked hearing that.

"I can't entertain you today. Some big shots from headquarters are here for an inspection. If you need to buy something, come back in a couple of days, and Sister Wei will give you a ten percent discount."

Although she liked Chen Mo, Xie Wei knew what was more important. But to her surprise, Chen Mo showed no sign of leaving.

"Well, Sister Wei, I'm not here to buy anything." Chen Mo shook his head, his expression a bit odd.

"Selling is also not allowed." Xie Wei didn't notice anything off in his tone, glancing at her watch. "I can't talk now. I really have things to do today."

With that, she turned to head back into the store.

Just then, a flying boat three to four hundred meters long entered the Lanshi border. With a single dash, it arrived at the business district, right above Chen Mo and the others.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

A sharp alert sounded from her wristwatch. Xie Wei's expression changed. Ignoring Chen Mo, she gathered a few key staff members and headed for the elevator.

Chen Mo stepped aside, watching them take the elevator down, but he himself didn't leave.

"Sir, is there anything else?" the saleswoman asked, frowning.

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone?"

The saleswoman looked around. This entire floor belonged to Blue Cave Technology and had been cleared long ago.

"Sorry, sir, could you wait somewhere else?"

Although a bit annoyed, she maintained her professional demeanor.

"That won't work."

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to the elevator not far away, saying softly, "The person I'm waiting for is here!"

...

Not long ago, Xie Wei had been trying to find out the real reason for the headquarters' visit through connections.

Her efforts paid off when she finally got some information from a close friend working at headquarters.

Zhao Changdong was a special grade supervisor attached to the Armed Forces Department, responsible for talent recruitment.

Upon learning this, Xie Wei immediately understood the real purpose of his visit to Lanshi City.

But what puzzled her was what kind of talent would warrant Supervisor Zhao's personal visit.

Now, that question finally had an answer.

"Chen Mo!" The moment the elevator doors opened, Zhao Changdong saw Chen Mo. Likewise, Chen Mo saw him.

"Hello, Supervisor Zhao."

Chen Mo's face beamed with a bright smile as he stepped forward and warmly shook hands with Zhao Changdong.

Xie Wei was stunned!

She first looked at Zhao Changdong, who was enough to make her feel 'in awe,' then at Chen Mo, who was familiar yet now so strange.

"You two know each other?"

Zhao Changdong noticed the situation immediately and looked at Xie Wei in surprise.

"Uh..." Xie Wei was still processing, trembling slightly as she hurried to explain. But Chen Mo spoke first.

"Yes, Sister Wei is very kind. She gave me a good discount when I came to buy things before."

Upon hearing this, the North Region Branch 'high-level officials' who had 'followed' Zhao Changdong all cast envious glances at Xie Wei.

Blue Cave Technology mainly consisted of two departments: the Commercial Department and the Armed Forces Department.

Although Blue Cave was a conglomerate, in this world, only a strong fist could safeguard wealth, so the Armed Forces Department naturally ranked above the Commercial Department.

A special grade supervisor from the Armed Forces Department!

Someone of that level could, with just one word, promote Xie Wei, a low-level third-grade commercial supervisor, several ranks.

"This kid..."

Xie Wei also looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

Although she had indeed given him a good discount last time, strictly speaking, Chen Mo had negotiated it himself.

"Mm, good judgment."

Zhao Changdong glanced at Xie Wei, who was at the very back, and nodded to himself.

The management of the Commercial Department had no Realm requirements; vision and foresight were the most critical.

Although Zhao Changdong wouldn't promote Xie Wei just because of Chen Mo's words, he at least remembered her, which was exactly what Chen Mo wanted.

As for why Chen Mo spoke up for Xie Wei.

Two reasons.

First, he already had a good impression of her, so helping was a simple matter.

Second, it was in his own interest.

After all, Xie Wei was the branch supervisor of Lanshi City. Though she had little power, she had access to Blue Cave Technology's channels, which would make it easier for him to buy things.

"Let's talk inside."

"Whatever you say." Chen Mo nodded cheerfully, but his gaze shifted to Xie Wei behind the group.

Xie Wei immediately caught on and hurried forward.

"Supervisor Zhao, leaders from the North Region Branch, and..." Xie Wei looked at Chen Mo with complex eyes, "Young friend Chen, the meeting room is ready. Please follow me."
