My Ares Son-in-Law

"The PR department is also in charge of debt collection?" Xiao Chen said with a hint of surprise and confusion, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes flickered with doubt. He obviously did not expect that he, a new member of the PR department, would be given such a "special" task.

Seeing this, Guo She curled up the corner of his mouth into a meaningful smile. That smile showed both his anticipation of Xiao Chen's reaction and a bit of the cunning of a seasoned professional.

"Hey, little brother, you don't know this. The public relations department is the face of the company, to put it nicely. To put it bluntly, it is a 'jack of all trades' that can be moved wherever needed.

Everyone knows that our department seems to be idle on weekdays, but there are a lot of miscellaneous things to do. Look, even the work of collecting debts has come to us. If you can't do it, then don't do it. It's okay.

On the contrary, if you choose to do it but fail, it may bring shame to Mr. Lin." Guo She said with a smile, his words were a bit self-deprecating, but also revealed his helplessness and acceptance of the company's current situation.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's mouth twitched and he secretly complained in his heart that the duties of the public relations department were really "rich and colorful".

But then he adjusted his mood and looked at Guo She sharply, as if he wanted to read more information from the eyes of this old colleague.

"Does the old guy also use provocation?" Xiao Chen chuckled. In his laughter, he saw through Guo She's "little tricks" and also had the confidence in the challenge he was about to face.

He looked at Guo She deeply, as if they were engaging in a silent contest, "Okay, leave the documents here, and I'll take care of it. I want to see how hard these so-called 'hard bones' are to chew."

Hearing this, Guo She's smile faded a little, replaced by a serious and solemn expression. He knew that what Xiao Chen said was true, and he also understood what this mission meant to Xiao Chen.

"Are you really going to do this?" He confirmed again, his tone becoming more serious.

"I'll tell you the truth. These debtors are not easy to deal with. The debt collection companies can't do anything with them, so we have to deal with them. Moreover, it's obvious that someone did this on purpose to give you a 'warning'."

As he spoke, Guo She unconsciously glanced around, and after confirming that his colleagues in the office were busy and no one noticed their little corner, he lowered his voice and continued:

"Brother, let's be honest, let's not be too serious. Just admit it. The PR department is the face of the company, but in fact, it is often just a place to eat free meals.

We all know that no one should say anything to each other, we just want to be safe, right? It would be better if we don’t do this task, but if we do it, it might cause problems.”

There was a hint of helplessness and compromise in his tone, as if he was paving a road for Xiao Chen that seemed easy but was actually full of helplessness.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen raised a playful smile, his bright eyes flashing with a challenging light.

"Difficult? How difficult can it be?" There was a hint of indifference in his words, as if any difficulty was just a piece of cake in front of him. "Haha, you are underestimating me, right? I am a person who gets stronger when facing stronger opponents."

Hearing this, Guo She couldn't help but be amused by Xiao Chen's confidence. He smiled and shook his head, with a hint of ridicule in his tone:

"Let me put it this way. This task is much more difficult than playing those troublesome soul-based games. You have to face real, cunning debtors, and they won't play by the rules of the game." Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen not only did not flinch, but smiled even more brightly.

"Oh, that's no problem at all." He waved his hand, as if to say that any challenge was just a small episode in his gaming life. "I can finish the Souls series games on one life, so let me deal with these debtors."

Guo She looked at Xiao Chen's confident face and couldn't help but secretly despise him in his heart. This kid is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and brags without thinking.

However, he did not show it, but silently labeled Xiao Chen as a "hot-blooded young man who has not experienced the world" in his heart.

He knew that young people like Xiao Chen would one day taste the bitterness of society, and then they would naturally understand how impulsive their decision today was. For now, let him be proud for a while, because he would cry someday anyway.

Xiao Chen's brief stay at the Lin Group seemed like just a passing visitor in his busy schedule. In less than twenty minutes, he had packed up his mood and luggage and quietly left the building that symbolized power and wealth.

The answer is that you are going to collect debts. This is a ready-made excuse and sounds very reasonable. You might as well use it.

In fact, his real destination is his quiet and secret residence.

Ever since that conversation with Lin Youya, Xiao Chen's heart has been like a lake stirred up by a huge rock, and it can never return to calm.

He was sure that something must have happened to Jiang Meng, and if he wanted to uncover all this and step into the legendary spiritual realm, relying on his current strength, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, and he was overestimating his own abilities. Therefore, improving his strength became his most urgent task.

In his mind, the path to improving his strength is clear and definite, like the brightest stars in the night sky, guiding him in the direction of progress.

The first is to look for those legendary panaceas, which often contain the purest and most powerful energy in the world, and can greatly promote the growth of practitioners' cultivation.

For example, the Five Spirit Flowers that he brought back from the dangerous Death Island this time are such a rare treasure. The power of the five elements contained in it is enough to drive any practitioner crazy.

The second is to find and kill the Prison Clan. The Prison Clan is an ancient and mysterious race, their bodies and souls contain a special energy, this energy is an extremely precious tonic for practitioners.

Devouring the energy from the remains of the Prison Clan can not only rapidly improve one's cultivation, it can even allow the practitioner's physique and soul to achieve a qualitative leap. The effect is so strong that it is far beyond what the Five Spirit Flowers can match.

Finally, there is the method that Xiao Chen is most familiar with and best at - curing diseases and saving lives. In this secular world, disease and pain are everywhere, but Xiao Chen has a pair of magical hands that can see through diseases and reverse life and death.

Every time he cured a seemingly hopeless patient, the expelled pathogenic energy would become part of his cultivation, nourishing his body and soul.

Although this method seems mild, its effect cannot be underestimated, especially when facing those difficult and complicated diseases, it can bring him unexpected benefits. (End of this chapter)
