Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1040 New Ideas

Seeing this message, Liu Cheng couldn’t help but be taken aback. What did this mean?

”Really, I truly admire you, Miss Huo. Although I have a tendency to brag, this time I’m absolutely not exaggerating. I really respect your courage and boldness—you’re my role model!”

Huo Sining smiled. She could sense that Liu Cheng’s words still had a hint of flattery, but it was understandable. Although Liu Cheng was a bit cunning, if utilized well, he could be a valuable asset.

Without hesitation, she asked directly, ”Instead of being my hardcore fan, why not be my assistant? I’m currently short-handed. If you don’t mind, why not come work with me?”

Liu Cheng was instantly stunned. Damn, was he dreaming? Had the goddess’s account been hacked?

Liu Cheng stiffly turned his head and stutteringly looked at Zhao Yang, ”Yang Zi, pinch me.”

Zhao Yang reached out and gave Liu Cheng’s thigh a hard twist, not forgetting to raise his head and ask, ”What crazy thing are you doing now?”

The pain twisted Liu Cheng’s face, but it made him even more excited. Eagerly, he replied to Huo Sining:

”Mind? Are you kidding, Miss Huo? How could I possibly mind working with you? I would love nothing more. But please, don’t tease me. What qualities do I possess to deserve your notice?”

After sending this message, a long time passed without a response from Huo Sining.

Liu Cheng couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. It seemed the goddess was indeed joking with him.

Liu Cheng sighed and silently warned himself not to dream. With his pathetic state, what did he have to offer? Why should anyone take him seriously? The fact that someone acknowledged him as a joke was already a form of praise.

Thinking this way made Liu Cheng feel a bit better. After playing some games, he managed to shift his focus and put the matter behind him.

But around ten o’clock in the evening, when Liu Cheng logged off from his game and boredly checked Weibo again, he saw several new private messages in the top right corner.

Liu Cheng was startled and opened them, his eyes widening in astonishment.

——Sorry, I was having dinner with some elders and wasn’t checking my phone.

——I’m not joking with you. I really need competent people.

——Aren’t you around? Fine, since I’ve mentioned this, it’s up to you. I’ll give you a contact. If you agree, get in touch with this person. Tell them I sent you and that you’re to practice with them first. They know what to do.

——Wu Jun, the phone number is xxxxxxxxx.

”Damn!”

Seeing this string of messages, Liu Cheng felt like he had been knocked out by a pie from the sky. He leaned back too hard, causing both him and the chair to tumble to the ground. Ignoring the pain, he jumped up from the floor and lunged at Zhao Yang, clasping his neck and shouting, ”Damn, Yang Zi, I hit the jackpot! I’m going to be big time!”

Zhao Yang was grabbed tightly by Liu Cheng. Already down to the final sliver of health for the boss, an incorrect key press caused his character to collapse. The coveted loot didn’t drop, and instead, he lost experience points, infuriating him to the point of turning beet red.

”What madness is this? You, who won’t even spend two bucks on lottery tickets, saying you won the jackpot? Have you gone crazy today? Look at what you did; I worked so hard to reach this level. The boss was almost dead, just waiting for the rare drop, and you ruined it all!”

Liu Cheng didn’t care and eagerly boasted to Zhao Yang, ”I really won—something bigger than the lottery. That Miss Huo from earlier invited me to work for her and even sent me a contact! I’m going to work with her from now on!”

Zhao Yang froze upon hearing this, ”Really? How did you get in touch with her? Not by phone, right?”

”Do you think I’m silly? I followed her on Weibo, said I wanted to be her hardcore fan, and she told me to come work with her!” Liu Cheng chuckled.

Zhao Yang assumed Liu Cheng was daydreaming, ”Kid, go wash up and sleep; even dreams are more realistic than this idea! She’s a person who can drive a Maybach and command a military colonel. Why would she invite you to work with her out of the blue? She’s not the one who’s lost her marbles!”

Seeing Zhao Yang’s disbelief, Liu Cheng didn’t bother arguing, arrogantly lifting his chin with a gleam in his eyes, ”Just be sour then; believe it or not! What’s a set of game gear? Once I make it, I’ll have everything I want! From today on, my days of flying high begin!”

Zhao Yang waved his hand dismissively, not taking Liu Cheng’s wild stories to heart, focusing only on his game gear.

After sending Liu Cheng Wu Jun’s phone number, Huo Sining called Wu Jun to discuss Liu Cheng’s situation. Knowing that Huo Sining wanted to train trustworthy people, Wu Jun wholeheartedly agreed and promised results within six months.

Huo Sining was already well aware of Wu Jun’s capabilities. Over the past year, he had been following her closely, and whether it was his ability to handle affairs or his loyalty, both were unquestionable. Moreover, he had once been Gu Xu’s subordinate, so she had great confidence in Wu Jun.

Thinking about the private collection museum that Chief Lu agreed to, Huo Sining had an idea.

Back at their new home, as she lay down to sleep, Gu Xu was drying her hair. Lying still on the bed, she let Gu Xu handle it. Once her hair was dry, she sat up on her knees and seriously looked at Gu Xu, ”How does the military handle soldiers like Wu Jun, who retire due to unforeseen circumstances?”

Gu Xu paused mid-action, stunned before asking, ”Why suddenly ask about that?”

Huo Sining smiled, ”Grandfather Lu agreed to my plan to set up that private collection museum. With all the valuable antiques and artifacts, security management will be crucial. I’ve seen Wu Jun’s skills; someone like him would be perfect. If we’re hiring, I think it’s best to recruit veterans like him. What do you think?”

Gu Xu’s eyes immediately lit up with a smile, ”My wife’s ideas are always golden. Of course, I have no objections.”

”In fact, many retired veterans find it hard to adapt to society and normal life after leaving the military. Many veterans spend their time in the service, isolated from the outside world, and suddenly leaving the military environment leaves them very disconnected from society, making it hard to find jobs.”

”What about military placement?” Huo Sining asked, puzzled.

”There are so many veterans retiring every year; how can they all be placed? Ordinary soldiers who want a transfer need to have earned at least a second-class merit award or have served for over ten years. Those who don’t meet these criteria have to return home and find work on their own,” Gu Xu explained helplessly.
