Chapter 15 Assistance

After Ji Yongsheng adjourned the meeting, Wei Hongsi stood up with everyone else and lagged behind as he walked out. Just as he reached the meeting room door, he heard Gu Shiming call his name.

He turned around and saw Gu Shiming and Dai Songquan standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He waved to him and walked towards them. When he got there, he greeted them first, "President Dai."

"How's it working at Zhiwei?" Dai Songquan asked with a smile.

"That's good." Wei Hongsi also had a smile on his face.

Dai Songquan asked a few more questions, to which Wei Hongsi gave brief responses. There was no need to discuss the minutiae of work with the company's top leader.

After the small talk, Dai Songquan patted Wei Hongsi's shoulder twice: "Just focus on your work, don't worry about these messy things, they won't cause any trouble."

Wei Hongsi nodded in agreement. He thought to himself, "Is President Dai trying to comfort me?"

As I came out of the conference room, I saw Wu Wenjun talking to Meng Haolin, and Mu Wei was also there.

"If you need anything, Mr. Meng, just let me know and I'll make sure to arrange it."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu. But there's nothing I really need. It's not like I haven't stayed at the company before."

Wei Hongsi did not linger, but walked towards the elevator lobby and retrieved his ID card from the security guard.

As she entered the elevator, she caught sight of Gu Shiming approaching and reached out to block the door.

Gu Shiming entered the elevator, nodded to him, and said after the elevator doors closed, "President Dai and the teacher are classmates. Before you came to the company, the teacher called President Dai."

"Oh." Wei Hongsi suddenly realized, "I haven't heard the teacher mention this before."

"So you won't lack opportunities, it just depends on whether you're prepared."

"Yes, I understand."

"You don't need to worry about Ding Yafan. Her technical skills assessment didn't meet the standards, and she hasn't been able to get promoted for the past few years, so she holds a grudge against me." Gu Shiming said with a hint of sarcasm. "As for Mu Wei, it's also because of his promotion, but it's no longer important."

Wei Hongsi smiled calmly: "I understand, they can't affect me."

At Zhiwei Technology, the Human Resources Department is at the executive level and has very limited influence over him. His performance evaluations are primarily based on the opinions of his department and the research center.

The position of HR Director was vacant, so Ding Yafan was effectively the head of the department. Under these circumstances, the "Deputy" in her title probably made her even more upset.

……

……

Wei Hongsi returned to his workstation and checked the time on his computer. There were still about fifteen minutes left before he had to leave work. The meeting had only lasted about an hour and a half, but it felt like a much longer time had passed.

He picked up his cup, drank some water, and then summoned the "System" panel with a thought.

Current contribution points: 120

[Task: Prevent BGG's plans to advertise beverages on the theme park's dynamic media (Completed)]

Only these two lines of information changed, and 100 contribution points were added upon completion of the task.

The mission was accomplished as expected. Even though Jiang Kai's communication efforts had just begun, the amusement park wouldn't knowingly step on a landmine, so Plan B had completely lost its chance to appear before the public.

But what can those contribution points do? Perhaps we'll have to wait until the "system" is upgraded again to find out.

After closing the "System" panel, I saw a conversation notification on WD, initiated by "Wu Wenjun (Comprehensive Support Center-01)".

"Hello Mr. Wei! I have a task I'd like to ask for your assistance with. Would that be convenient for you?"

Wei Hongsi knew what Wu Wenjun's job was, but what role could he play if he got involved?

As he was pondering this, red ghostly text appeared before his eyes.

[Mission: Find the mastermind behind the GG Drink trap at the amusement park (Completing this mission will grant a system level boost)]

Another mission has appeared. Is this a continuation of the previous mission?

Bring up the "System" panel again, and you'll see that the description of the task at the bottom has been updated to the line of text that just appeared. There's no countdown timer, which means it should be unlimited in time.

The rewards for leveling up the "System" are quite tempting. If I understand correctly, this shouldn't be the only way to level up the "System," so failing a mission won't leave you stuck at the current level, meaning there's essentially no penalty for failure.

Although this task seems very difficult, since it's not timed, it's worth a try.

The task issued by this "system" doesn't even have an option to refuse.

As he thought about it, he replied on WD: "I have no problem."

Wu Wenjun: "Okay, let's depart at 17:15 and meet at the lobby entrance on the first floor."

Wei Hongsi replied with an OK emoji and began wrapping up his work for the day. When it was almost time, he shut down his computer and headed to the director's office.

Since it wasn't yet time to leave work, I was supposed to apply for permission to go out. However, according to Ji Yongsheng's request, going through the WD process wasn't appropriate, so I verbally informed Yu Sheng instead.

After listening, Yu Sheng said, "Then you should cooperate with General Manager Wu's work for now. If you encounter any difficult situations, don't hesitate to refuse when necessary."

Wei Hongsi nodded in agreement.

After leaving the director's office, I took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, where Wu Wenjun was already there. The two exchanged brief greetings, left the building, and got into a black sedan waiting at the entrance.

Wu Wenjun was very polite to Wei Hongsi and pulled him to sit in the back row.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Wei Hongsi saw that the driver was the same security guard who had been standing guard at the entrance of the conference room.

Wu Wenjun introduced him: "This is Liu Zhifeng, you can just call him Xiao Liu."

Seeing that Liu Zhifeng was probably a year older than him, Wei Hongsi didn't presume and greeted him, "Hello, Captain Liu."

The company has a considerable number of security guards. Since he is able to stand guard during high-level meetings and works with Wu Wenjun, he is definitely not in a basic position. Calling him Captain Liu is certainly not a problem.

Liu Zhifeng glanced at the rearview mirror, smiled, and nodded: "Hello, Engineer Wei, you're too kind."

Wu Wenjun glanced at Wei Hongsi with a faint smile, finding the young man quite interesting. Liu Zhifeng, a former reconnaissance soldier, held a deep sense of nostalgia for the title "Captain Liu."

The car drove for more than twenty minutes before stopping at the entrance of a relatively old residential area.

Wu Wenjun told Wei Hongsi to get out of the car first, then led him into a restaurant by the roadside and into a private room on the second floor.

"Even working needs to eat." Seeing Wei Hongsi's confusion, Wu Wenjun explained with a smile, "My old comrade-in-arms, Yu Zhen, is coming later. He's the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division of the District Bureau, and he's trustworthy. Let's talk to him about the situation here first; it definitely won't leak out."

Wei Hongsi nodded. He thought to himself, "President Wu is really cautious."

I glanced around the private room. In the center was a round table seating eight, and in the corner was a small square table for playing cards. The interior decoration was simple, and judging from the exterior, it seemed to be a restaurant catering to the general public.

A short while later, Liu Zhifeng also came in: "Mr. Wu, the dishes are ordered." As he spoke, he handed a handbag to Wu Wenjun.

"Okay, have a seat first," Wu Wenjun said, placing his briefcase on the small table next to him.
