Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Host Number One (5 updates)Both of them looked on with envy, smacking their tongues in admiration as Ye Xuan left. Even the ice-cold Yama Flower had fallen into his hands, probably he was the only tough guy in the whole company! The morning hours quickly passed by two hours. Just as Ye Xuan was idling away in his office, he suddenly received a call from Lin Tong, asking him to hurry to the underground parking garage and accompany her on a trip. His wife’s command was an order he dared not disobey; Ye Xuan immediately left his office and took the elevator to the underground parking garage. Ye Xuan had just left when an eight-year-old boy, seemingly oblivious to the gawking pedestrians, made his way towards the entrance of Eastern Group. "The presence of the number one host body is here, her vitality is getting stronger and stronger, I must stop it!" As he walked, he muttered under his breath, moving at an incredibly fast pace, ghostly in his approach, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance. The two security guards were standing guard in boredom when they suddenly saw a small child running over, and they were taken aback. "Kid, go play somewhere else, you can’t enter here, scram!" One of the security guards waved his hand, shooing him away. "Yeah, get lost quickly, don’t disturb our work," another guard said. "Hm?" The ghostly child raised his head, his eyes under the black robe cold and gloomy, flashing a strange luster as they fixed on the eyes of the two guards. In an instant! The two security guards stiffened, completely unconscious, wearing a dazed expression on their faces as if turned into two wooden pillars, unresponsive. Whoosh! The next moment, the ghostly child’s figure flashed, and he went straight inside. Moving like a phantom, he did not draw any attention, following the scent of the number one host body as he ran upstairs. He did not take the elevator but dashed up the stairs at lightning speed, a velocity that belied his young age! At the same time, Su Yumo also received a call from Lin Tong, urging her to come to the underground parking garage for an important business negotiation. "Little Tong, wait for me, I’m going to use the bathroom, I’ll be right there," Su Yumo said as she hung up the phone, left her office, and headed to the restroom to take care of her private business. After exiting the restroom, she stood in front of the sink in front of the mirror, touching up her appearance and covering up the dark circles under her eyes with some foundation. After freshening up her makeup, she placed her hands under the faucet, allowed the infrared sensor to activate the water flow, and began to wash her hands. Just then, the ghostly child walked in. Su Yumo had just finished washing her hands, and as she raised her head to look in the mirror, she saw a silhouette standing behind her. "Who’s there?" She was startled; this was a women’s restroom, who would dare to barge in? Could it be Ye Xuan, that rascal? However, she quickly dismissed that thought. The figure in the mirror appeared quite short, barely more than a meter in height. That couldn’t possibly be the height of an adult, clearly it was a child, and it seemed to be a young boy. With this in mind, Su Yumo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and said, "Little boy, whose child are you? Don’t you know that this is the ladies’ restroom, and boys are not allowed in? Get out quickly, or sister will get mad." After speaking, seeing that the figure did not react, Su Yumo frowned and sternly said, "Little boy, are you not listening? If you don’t go out, sister will have to take you to see your parents." In Su Yumo’s view, the threat of taking them to see their parents should have a great deterrent effect on children. However, the shadowy figure still stood there, as if he hadn’t heard a thing, exuding a chilled aura. The ghost servant mumbled to himself, "Such a beautiful body, no wonder the master took a liking to it. To catalyze the Innate Yin Meridian with the Ice Cicada Heart Devouring Gu, she’s definitely a fine candidate to become a ’human puppet.’" After saying that, he gave a chilling smile and let out a bizarre, cackling sound. In the silent restroom, it was exceptionally creepy! Su Yumo instantly felt something was off. The kid was too strange, draped in a black robe, his face obscured. Who dresses like that? But upon hearing the other party’s words, Su Yumo shuddered, her face a picture of disbelief, her eyes filled with horror. "Who are you? How do you know about the Ice Cicada Heart Devouring Gu?" Su Yumo was utterly shocked and asked with a somewhat panicked expression. The ghost servant smirked sinisterly, lifted his head to look at Su Yumo, revealing his own hideous visage. "Ah!" Seeing that face, painted with totems and unspeakably grotesque, Su Yumo stepped back in fright, letting out a loud scream. "Little girl, come with me." The ghost servant seemed to be only seven or eight years old, but calling Su Yumo "little girl" felt bizarrely out of place. As soon as he finished speaking, his body floated forward, light as a feather, his hideous mouth opening to spew a grey mist towards Su Yumo. Su Yumo paled with fear, immediately closed her eyes, and fainted. The ghost servant hoisted up Su Yumo’s body, his small figure flashed, and quickly vanished from the spot. ... Ye Xuan arrived at the underground parking lot just as Lin Tong was driving in. Once the car stopped, he opened the door and got in. As soon as he got into the car, Lin Tong didn’t waste words and threw a stack of documents at him, saying, "Take a look at this data first. The three of us are going to meet with their representative soon for negotiations. Familiarise yourself quickly with this international consortium, so you don’t embarrass us later!" Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan didn’t look at the documents in his hand but asked in surprise, "Three people? Wife, isn’t it just the two of us?" Lin Tong replied, "In a bit, Su from the HR department will also be joining us. She has always been in charge of this project. This time she is the main negotiator!" "Yumo? She’s going too?" Ye Xuan paused, and an odd feeling suddenly sprang up in his heart. "What Yumo? She is Manager Su, with a higher position than you! Don’t be so informal." Lin Tong said impatiently and did not think too much about it. Ye Xuan chuckled awkwardly, having accidentally blurted that out; fortunately, his wife hadn’t noticed anything amiss. He lowered his head to check the documents in his hand, but as his gaze fell on the name of the collaborating company, a look of surprise appeared on his face. "William Group?" Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow in real astonishment. He hadn’t expected it to be that family’s international corporation. Was Eastern Group going to collaborate with them? That was indeed interesting. Lin Tong explained, "This collaboration with William Group is very important. It’s crucial for Eastern Group’s ability to break into the overseas market! However, the terms they’ve proposed are quite rigorous, beyond what our company can currently handle. So, you must perform well in the negotiations and secure the overseas agency rights from William Group!" Though she said this, Lin Tong’s brows were tightly knitted, and she didn’t seem very optimistic. To know, in order to collaborate with William Group, she and Su Yumo had been preparing since a year ago, all for this very day, to successfully work with William Group. Once Eastern Group opened its overseas channels, selling its products to foreign markets, the profit for a year could at least increase tenfold! And the status of Eastern Group would be elevated by a whole scale, even potentially surpassing countless competitors and becoming the leading enterprise in East Sea City, rivaling the four major families.
