As soon as this speculation was said, some people disagreed.
[ That can’t be. Our little male god was directly transferred to the company through President Rong’s hands.
[ The old fox should at least give face to Buddha. ]
At the mention of President Rong, the Secretary remembered another thing that Lin Hui had instructed her to do, so she quickly added in the group, [ President Rong will be live streaming with the little male god tomorrow! ] [ As expected of the little male god. He’s the only one who has President Rong’s love. ]
[ Hiss, from the looks of it, the little male god couldn’t have been promoted because of boss Rong’s high regard, right? ]
[ And then this matter provoked President Lin and made him angry out of embarrassment? ]
Zhai Jing had already reached such a high position at such a young age. If he were to go further, his position would really be higher than Lin Hui’s. As the saying went, comparing people would only result in death. How could Lin Hui be willing to submit to a young man who still smelled of his mother’s milk?
The crowd discussed virtually. Other than some unreliable guesses, they couldn’t come up with anything. Then, they incited the youngest female colleague who had worked with Zhai Jing before and had his contact information to ask him for some information. They also told her to disclose this matter to him.
After Zhai Jing received the message from his female colleague, he wasn’t too surprised by Lin Hui’s actions. He simply replied,
[ Thank you for telling me about this. Don’t worry, I already know about it. ]
The female colleague forwarded the message to the group, and everyone fell silent for a while after reading it.
[ What exactly is going on? It’s not even clear. ]
They asked their female colleagues to check on him again, but Zhai Jing didn’t reply to any of their messages. They had to give up.
At that moment, Zhai Jing was on the phone with Lin Hui.
On the phone, Lin Hui acted as if nothing had happened. He was still as casual and friendly as before.
“I was thinking that you haven’t done a live broadcast for a while and many of your fans are urging you to do so. It just so happened that President Rong mentioned that he wanted to do a live broadcast and even asked you to come along. I can finally give your fans an explanation.”
There was a hint of envy in his tone.
“It’s such an honor to be broadcasting live with President Rong. If only my fingers were longer. I’d have to squeeze in and grab a seat. Unlike now, I can only watch you play.”
Lin Hui had entered the gaming industry not only because it was a promising industry, but also because he liked to play games. However, he was born with a congenital deficiency. His fingers were short and not flexible enough, and he couldn’t compete with others in hand speed, so he always lost in gaming. Thus, he would always expose his own shortcomings and joke about this matter.
Zhai Jing knew that he wasn’t good at self-cultivation yet. Hence, he could not pretend that nothing had happened. He could only reply in a business-like manner,
“I will prepare the equipment here in advance, but as the distance is too far and the network speed isn’t good, there might be some delays.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Lin Hui said nonchalantly,
“This time, President Rong will be the main character in the live stream. Playing games will be secondary, and showing your face will be the main priority. As for us, we just have to play with you and stay aside.”
The two of them discussed the live stream for tomorrow. In the end, Lin Hui casually said,
“You mentioned that you wanted to reduce your workload last time. I’ve thought about it for a few days and decided to respect your needs. So, I’ve removed some of your operation-related work so that you can focus on your own work.”
Zhai Jing sincerely thanked him.
“Thank you, President Lin.”
Although Lin Hui had the intention to make use of him, he had indeed taught him a lot during these days of work. Hence, Zhai Jing was very sincere in his thanks.
Lin Hui heard the sincerity in his words and was silent for two seconds. Then, he smiled and said,
“Everyone is doing this for the good of the company. It’s not appropriate to say thank you.” As for what he was thinking, only Lin Hui himself knew.
“No matter what, I still have to thank you, President Lin.”
The two of them knew that even if they didn’t expose the veil of shame, even if they worked together in the future, they could only maintain a superficial peace.
After hearing this, Lin Hui finally revealed a trace of his true emotions. He couldn’t hide the mixed feelings in his tone. “Zhai Jing, I really admire your talent.” In fact, he was a little jealous..
