66: Chapter 66 President, Moonlight
Li Yu was dragged by Supervisor Song, heading straight to the elevator, and then took the elevator directly to the top floor.
"The great beauty you mentioned, is she from the Presidents Office?" Li Yu looked at the floor number and asked curiously.
Supervisor Song nodded: "Yes, although the recruitment and onboarding of a Senior Cultivator can be handled by the department director, you are an exception. The Presidents Office said that when your examination results came out, they had to be reported to them. Hehe... I didn't expect it, a Senior Cultivator."
A lewd smile spread across Supervisor Song's face, causing Li Yu to involuntarily step away in the elevator.
Why is the elevator so slow today?
...
The elevator arrived at the top floor, and they reached the outside of the Presidents Office. Supervisor Song straightened his clothes, adjusted Li Yu's collar, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock~
"Come in." Special Assistant Yang's voice sounded.
The two walked in.
As soon as they entered the door, a thick scent of ink and paper rushed towards them. A flash of amazement crossed Li Yu's eyes. The office was very large, bigger than his home, but it was occupied by many bookshelves, making it appear exceptionally crowded.
Rows of reddish-brown wooden bookshelves were arranged neatly and orderly, filled with many old books. Some of the book covers had even weathered, revealing a sense of historical gravitas.
However, it was evident that these books were well-preserved, and some damaged ones had also undergone some repairs.
Someone who loves books.
This thought popped into Li Yu's mind.
Passing through the library-like book area, Supervisor Song led Li Yu to a desk.
In the huge office, eighty percent of the space was used for storing books. Only a small spot in the center, about the size of a single room, held a desk and a few chairs; there wasn't even a reception area.
This is the Presidents Office?
Li Yu was surprised once again.
Shouldn't a typical president's office be the most luxurious and the largest? One person occupying an entire floor, a large desk, a luxurious reception area, plus a shower room, a lounge, and a large bed.
If there's work, the secretary does it; if there's nothing...
Ahem.
With intense curiosity, Li Yu couldn't wait to look at the two people at the desk.
A woman in a suit with short hair and heroic features was standing at the corner of the desk, as if reporting on work. Her posture was very upright, giving people a capable feeling.
This image, this aura.
Special Assistant Yang.
Based on some information Supervisor Song had told him earlier, Li Yu easily guessed the woman's identity. He would never admit that his eyesight was good enough to see the name on the work badge hanging between her breasts.
Li Yu looked at the other person.
That person was wearing a white dress, head bowed, reading a book—an "old book" similar in style to those in the outer bookshelf area. Her movements were very gentle; when she turned the pages, it was as if she were caring for an infant.
Her hair was naturally draped, obscuring her face. Her whole being exuded a lazy and leisurely temperament, yet a strong sense of familiarity rushed over him.
At that moment, she heard the commotion and looked up. A pair of smiling peach-blossom eyes met Li Yu's gaze.
"It's you!" Li Yu exclaimed.
"You've come?" the woman said with a smile.
Supervisor Song and Special Assistant Yang exchanged glances and asked in unison: "You two know each other?"
"Um... I guess you could say we know each other; we've met once." Li Yu answered honestly.
A flash of craftiness crossed the woman's face, and she smiled: "It's not just 'knowing each other'; I know many things about you, for example, when you were a child..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Li Yu suddenly started coughing violently and said solemnly: "Um, how about we talk about business instead?"
He couldn't let this topic continue.
Dead memories should not be awakened, and certainly not in front of other people. He still had to work at Bright Moon Company in the future.
The woman smiled and cooperated by not continuing the topic. She simply closed the book and said to the two men: "Sit down."
"Thank you." Li Yu sat down.
"Thank you, President." Supervisor Song said respectfully, then sat down, his buttocks occupying only one-third of the chair, and then couldn't wait to introduce Li Yu.
"President, Special Assistant Yang, this is the young Breeder I mentioned to you before, whose cultivations are all s-rank new species. Special Assistant Yang previously instructed me to bring him over once he passed the examination."
At this point, Supervisor Song's eyes shone. Like a fanatical salesperson promoting a doll made by his own company, he pointed at Li Yu and said: "And guess what? He passed the examination! Not the Junior one, but the Senior one! This kid saved himself 20 years of detours in one go and got his hands on the Senior Breeder qualification certificate!"
"Senior Cultivator?!"
Special Assistant Yang's eyes widened, her breathing grew rapid, and she stared at Li Yu in disbelief, secretly exclaiming in her heart: Monster.
You have to know that the youngest Senior Cultivator in China before this had only reached that level at 35. When the news came out, the whole country was shocked, and countless cities and companies went crazy trying to snatch this Breeder.
Bright Moon Company had competed for him back then, but due to internal company reasons and some personnel obstructing from within, they ultimately missed out with regret, and that Breeder joined a rival company.
It is said that for a Breeder, going from apprentice to Junior takes 4 years of university time; going from Junior to Intermediate requires a massive amount of cultivation experience, which usually takes an ordinary person about 10 years to achieve.
As for going from Intermediate to Senior...
That is no longer something that can be achieved through the accumulation of cultivation experience and beast-taming knowledge; instead, it requires apprenticing to a master, learning more advanced techniques, achieving a sublimation of cultivation methods, mastering more complex and advanced material ratios, and mastering Lord-level evolution to be possible.
But how old is Li Yu?
18, or 19?
From a technical school, it is said that even his Spirit Probing Hand is the most basic, and when he was cultivating the Starlight Wolf King, his methods were extremely unpracticed.
How long has it been since then?
He has actually grown into a Senior Cultivator!
Thinking of this, Special Assistant Yang looked at Li Yu as if looking at a monster.
"The President doesn't seem surprised." Li Yu suddenly spoke up.
Supervisor Song and Special Assistant Yang looked at the female President. Sure enough, the latter was resting her chin on one hand, her face smiling, without the slightest look of surprise.
The female President was called out by Li Yu. She smiled, folded her hands on the table like a student, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "That's right, I knew yesterday."
Special Assistant Yang and Supervisor Song looked at her in surprise.
Li Yu nodded slightly, secretly thinking, "No wonder."
No wonder she suddenly appeared in the cultivation room last night. Thinking about it, as a female President, no matter how bad her sense of direction was, or how bored she was, she wouldn't have walked into a small cultivation room used by Junior Cultivators.
"Let's reintroduce ourselves," the female President smiled lazily. "President of Bright Moon Company, Ming Yueguang. I called you here mainly for four things: position, benefits, rewards, and..."
The female President blinked.
"And what?"
"Stance."
Li Yu was slightly stunned, then reacted, and said with a serious face: "Please go ahead."
Supervisor Song and Special Assistant Yang also looked at the female President.
"Let's talk about the position first," the female President said. "Since you have already obtained the Senior certificate and have objective cultivation results, there is no need to stay in the kindergarten."
Kindergarten?
Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly. Regarding the statement that Intern training room = kindergarten... he agreed just a tiny bit.
The female President said: "I'll arrange for you to go to the Seventh Floor, under Supervisor Song, how about that? As it happens, the Senior Cultivator on the Seventh Floor just died."
As soon as she finished speaking, Supervisor Song exclaimed and asked: "Wu Xiangrong died? How could he have died when he was perfectly fine?"
The female President smiled slightly and said: "I killed him."
The surroundings suddenly went quiet.
It was as if an invisible wind blew into Supervisor Song's collar, making him shiver all over.
