"That... That’s your temperament. It’s really great," Liang Qingren said, scrambling for an excuse.
Wu Tian laughed. No woman dislikes being called beautiful, just as no man dislikes a pretty woman praising his handsome features or fine demeanor. Hearing Liang Qingren’s words, a smile touched the corners of his lips.
But he knew she was just making an excuse. He was confident that she had noticed him for a specific reason.
Next, Liang Qingren began to tell Wu Tian about the Qin Corporation’s rules, how goods were classified, and some of the Logistics Department’s special duties.
"Okay, what a hassle. If there’s an issue with the power, we have to help? If there’s a problem with documents, we have to help too? Aren’t we basically an All-purpose Pavilion?" Wu Tian said in frustration after her introduction.
"Yes," Liang Qingren nodded. Her current goal was to get familiar with Wu Tian. Then she could bring him home to meet her grandmother, which would make the old woman happy.
Taking a deep breath, Liang Qingren blushed and said, "Director, since we’ll be working together from now on, you can just call me Little Honey."
"Little Honey?"
"Yes, that’s what my grandmother calls me."
"Isn’t that a little inappropriate?"
"It’s fine," Liang Qingren said, laughing and shaking her head. Her laughter, brimming with youthful vivacity, was pleasant.
Afterward, Liang Qingren continued showing Wu Tian around the Logistics Department. Just then, a girl about her age approached. She had an average appearance but seemed very well-behaved. Approaching Liang Qingren, she said with concern, "Qingren, bad news. That woman from the Procurement Department is asking you to buy a vase again."
Hearing this, Liang Qingren faltered. Her expression soured as she said worriedly, "I know, Xinxin."
"I’m sorry, I can’t help you with this. I have to get back to work." The girl named Xinxin then left.
Liang Qingren kept her head bowed, silent, her pretty brow tightly furrowed.
Seeing Liang Qingren look so pitiful and helpless, Wu Tian felt an urge to help her. It also seemed like a good opportunity to ask about the Martial Path in the city.
"Are you alright?"
"I’m fine," Liang Qingren said, forcing her spirits up. "But I have to step out for a while. I’ll finish showing you around when I get back, Director."
"No, let me help you," Wu Tian said. It’s just buying a vase. Why would it trouble her so much?
Liang Qingren looked at Wu Tian. This is a good chance to learn more about him and find out if he is truly an Innate master.
Taking a deep breath, she nodded. "Alright, you can come with me to buy the vase."
Wu Tian smiled.
"Don’t you work at a flower shop? What are you doing here at the Qin Corporation?"
As a result, Wei Chunhua started making trouble for her. For instance, the Procurement Department needed a vase for Qin Yuhan’s office. Their director claimed none of her staff could find a suitable one, so the task was passed to the Logistics Department. But no matter what kind of vase Liang Qingren bought, Wei Chunhua would declare it unsatisfactory. This had become a constant source of frustration for Liang Qingren. A good vase? How much would something like that even cost?
Wu Tian smiled to himself. If I want to buy the best vase for the lowest price, Antique Street is the only place it’s possible. Besides, as an Immortal Emperor, he was supremely confident in his judgment; no treasure could escape his Dharma Eye.
