My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen watched coldly, without a trace of pity on his face.

He spoke slowly, his voice cold but with a hint of indifference that could not be questioned: "Since you are so cooperative, I will forgive you this time. However, you have to go back and give a message to your boss, your brother Wang Dadao."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaodao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope in despair.

He endured the severe pain and nodded with all his strength, his voice weak but firm: "Brother, you order!" At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten all the pain and humiliation, and only thought about how to complete Xiao Chen's instructions in exchange for the safety of himself and his family.

Xiao Chen's eyes revealed a deep indifference. He spoke slowly, and every word seemed to be carefully considered:
"Someone offered to buy my life from him. This is a grudge in the martial arts world, and he did take action. According to common sense, I should embark on the road of revenge and take his head. However, I, Xiao Chen, always pay attention to the word "reason" in my actions, and I am willing to give all things in the world a chance to reform."

At this point, he paused slightly, and a barely perceptible sharpness flashed in his eyes. "So, I'll give him three days. Within these three days, if he can use his own strength to eliminate the mastermind who hired him to kill me, then the grudge between us today will be wiped out like a passing cloud.

However, if the employer is still safe and sound after three days, then I'm sorry, he must pay the price for his actions. Life and death are determined by fate, and he can only accept the judgment of fate. "

Wang Xiaodao's face instantly turned serious when he heard this. He knew the stakes involved very well and couldn't help but take a breath. "Brother, what you mean is that these three days will be a life-and-death battle between the boss and the employer, and in the end only one can walk out of this storm alive?"

Xiao Chen smiled gently, and in that smile he had both an insight into the complexity of human nature and a hint of helplessness about the fragility of life: "Your understanding is indeed impressive. Remember, I, Xiao Chen, never take my words lightly. Now, you can go away, and go back and tell your boss, Wang Dadao, what I mean."

Wang Xiaodao felt relieved and his tense nerves finally relaxed. He bowed and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, brother! I will remember your generosity and will definitely deliver your words to you without missing a word."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, but his steps seemed much lighter than before, as if even the air was filled with a breath of rebirth.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiao Chen shook his head gently, as if to dispel the last trace of impatience in his heart. Then he turned around resolutely and walked into the house with a hint of determination in his steps.

The door slowly closed behind him, isolating him from the outside world. He took a deep breath, as if to imprint this tranquility deeply in his heart, and continued to devote himself to the work at hand. His concentration and persistence seemed even more resolute under the soft light.

Not long after, a knock on the door, different from the previous ones, sounded quietly. It was soft and rhythmic, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, carrying with it a hint of subtle tenderness and expectation.

Xiao Chen put down the pen in his hand, frowned slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He secretly guessed in his heart that this way of knocking on the door must be the work of Lin Youya, who always gave him warmth and surprises inadvertently.

When he opened the door, the scene in front of him was as he expected. Lin stood there elegantly, bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if her whole body was covered with a layer of golden light. She had just finished bathing, and her body exuded a faint lavender scent, fresh and elegant, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Although her hair had been carefully blow-dried, it still had a natural fluffy and lazy feeling, casually falling on her shoulders, adding a bit of casual charm to her.

She was wearing loose cotton clothes in soft colors, which complemented her temperament. However, even so, it could not conceal her eye-catching hot figure, adding a bit of temptation.

There was a gentle smile on Lin Youya's face, and her eyes were shining with expectation and inquiry, as if she was waiting for an answer but was afraid to disturb the tranquility.

"Come in." Xiao Chen's voice was filled with a subtle tenderness. He stepped aside to invite Lin Youya to come in. Lin Youya nodded gently and stepped over the threshold. Each of her steps seemed so light, as if she was afraid of disturbing the beauty of this tranquility.

Inside the house, the lights were warm and soft, reflecting the subtle atmosphere between the two. Lin Youya stood in the middle of the living room, looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Chen, with a complex light flashing in her bright eyes.

"I'm taking this opportunity today to arrange for you to take over the public relations department," she said, with a barely perceptible nervousness and anticipation in her voice. "You won't object, will you?" This sentence was both a question and a test. She hoped to get a positive answer from Xiao Chen, and even more so, she hoped to see the determination and trust in his eyes.

Xiao Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, with a look of ease in his eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

"It's okay. I'll let Guo She take care of it. I trust him to do his job. As for myself, I'll continue to be a hands-off boss and enjoy a leisurely life." There was a hint of ease in his words, but more of it was a frank acceptance of the status quo.

"Actually, I'm a little afraid that you'll assign me the job of HR manager. You know, I'm most afraid of trouble, especially those trivial matters in HR, which are simply the source of headaches. I'm a very busy person, with projects coming one after another. How can I have so much time to manage them in detail?"

Hearing this, Lin Youya's mouth corners slightly raised, with a smile flashing in her eyes. She sat gracefully on the sofa, her posture dignified yet friendly.

"You know what, I did have that thought. I wanted to give you the position of human resources manager. After all, I know your abilities and vision very well. But guess what? As soon as this proposal was made, it was stopped by Wang Xiong." When she said this, there was a hint of amusement in her tone, as if she was telling an interesting episode.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing. That smile contained both "gratitude" to Wang Xiong and his relief that he was able to escape the "sea of ​​suffering".

"I have to thank him." His words were full of sincerity. Although they sounded casual, his "gratitude" was self-evident. He knew that Wang Xiong's move undoubtedly lightened his burden and allowed him to focus more on the things he really wanted to solve.

After all, he has too many things to do now. (End of this chapter)
