Chapter 32: Coral Culture

  "Gotcha, you rascal!" In front of the Coral Culture Company, Li Meng grabbed Gaodi out of the Lamborghini and held him in a tight grip, his face twisted in anger.

  The high ground felt inexplicable, but at the same time, Li Mang's strength also made him terrified, and he could only try to calm down and ask: "Brother, we don't have any grudges, do we?"

  "What grudge? A few years ago, you plagiarized my idea. Now you're on the altar, and what about me? Until now, I can only make a living by writing a few thousand words, and at the end of the year, I can't even afford to buy a toilet. Do we have a grudge?" Li Mang's face turned red with rage, his neck thickening as he grasped Gao Di's sleeve: "If killing someone wasn't against the law, I'd take you down right now!"

  "Brother, don't get agitated, let's talk it out calmly!" Li Meng's ferocious appearance really scared Gao Di. As for Li Meng's accusation of plagiarism, he was completely bewildered, but didn't dare to deny it either. After all, in this internet age, seeing any material can spark inspiration, which author dares to say that their writing is absolutely original?

  "Don't get agitated? You've gotten me into this miserable state today, and you tell me not to get agitated?" Li Mang's emotions grew more intense as he spoke, seemingly on the verge of losing control at any moment. At the same time, however, he also inadvertently loosened his grip on Gao Di.

  "Whoosh..."

  Lamborghini's top cover was pulled up high, and then with a humming sound it rushed forward, the voice from afar came: "Zi Shan, change the time we will discuss the contract again... madman!"

  "Haha." Li Meng smiled complacently, but then suddenly said to Chen Zixuan: "Hello, President Chen!"

  "Hello, are you here for a signing contract?" Perhaps it was Li Meng who helped her out of trouble, Chen Zishan's tone was slightly softer.

  "Actually, I came to look for a job and coincidentally saw President Chen in trouble, so I pretended to be crazy to help out. I hope President Chen won't blame me!" Li Mang said with a sincere face.

  "Applying for a job?" Chen Zixuan's beautiful eyes scanned over and then asked: "What position are you applying for?"

  "I thought of applying for a secretary or editor position at your company... either one is fine as long as it's suitable." Li Mang improvised his lines.

  "No resume?" Chen Zixuan raised her good-looking eyebrows, although she had a very good impression of Li Mang, but she couldn't hire an unserious employee just because of that.

  "Uh... I'm just staying at a nearby hotel, this trip is to get familiar with the place. Since it's not your working hours yet, I didn't bring my resume." Li Mang was not caught off guard.

  "Oh, it was me who forgot. Bring your resume to my office later!" Chen Zixuan nodded and walked back to the company with a cold demeanor, like an icy beauty.

  Li Mang made a scissor-hand gesture and softly exclaimed: "Yes!"

  It's just a resume, it's already in the network hard drive, Li Meng simply processed it and printed it out. It should be considered half a high-achieving student, this task shouldn't be difficult for him. Thinking that he can get close to Chen Zixuan, he gets excited and his whole body trembles. Of course, there are no other thoughts.

  Coral Culture, General Manager's Office.

  "Graduated from Yanda? Used to be a manager's secretary in a top-notch state-owned enterprise?" Chen Zishan looked at the information in her hand, seemingly surprised, but then asked: "Why didn't you continue doing it? From what I know, this state-owned enterprise has very good benefits."

  "Too corrupt, got fired." Li Mang said lightly, without elaborating on the reasons, but a hint of gloom flashed in the depths of his eyes.

  Chen Zishan looked at him and thought for a moment before saying, "Our company needs someone like you, and there's a vacant position that's particularly suitable for you. However, this position is somewhat special, I'm not sure if you can accept it."

  "What position?" Li Mang asked indifferently.

  "Deputy Minister of Public Security." Chen Zishan said.

  “Pfft……” Li Meng directly spat it out, staring at him with a dumbfounded expression, wondering if he had misheard. He was a university student from Yan University, not someone who came from a military school, and was completely clueless about security work. The way Chen Jia's big sister was dismissed was shocking.

  "Security is actually very simple, you're clever enough, not afraid to offend people, and your work is different from other general security guards, you only need to drive away some boring people." Chen Zixuan's face was serious.

  "Drive away General Chen's pursuers?" Li Meng finally understood.

  "Yes, these boring people have seriously disrupted the company's and my personal work. You should get rid of them without offending anyone." Chen Zixuan frankly admitted and gave a decisive answer, but remained expressionless, giving off an icy impression.

  Li Mang could no longer express his emotions, only feeling as if a million horses were galloping across his head. Under the premise of not offending anyone, he was being driven away? This was a technical job, and he would rather go assassinate lanterns.

  "If you have confidence, handle the entry procedures today and come to work formally tomorrow!" Chen Zixuan issued the final ultimatum. Can Li Meng refuse?

  The next morning, a young man wearing a security uniform stood upright at the entrance of Coral Culture, looking sunny and handsome, especially with the badge on his chest, which made the company's young women frequently gaze at him - 'Deputy Director of Security Department'

  This is no small official.

  At 7:30, a familiar red sports car arrived on time, followed by two black sedans. This was Chen Zixuan's motorcade.

  But then a Lamborghini slowly came, which was even more eye-catching, making men jealous and envious, and also attracting the fiery gaze of many girls.

  "Hey, Zisan!" Same car, same person, same lines. This made Li Meng doubt for the first time whether this article was written by a ghostwriter, which was too ridiculous! Li Meng had even guessed what his next line would be, and sure enough...

  "Zi Shan, haven't had breakfast yet? There's a local congee shop at the south gate that even high-end clubs can't compare to. Want to go together?" he asked warmly.

  Chen Zishan covered her forehead with both hands and glanced at Li Mang in front of her who was secretly smiling.

  Li Meng knew it was his turn to take action, so he quickly put away his smile and walked solemnly towards him. However, the guard on duty was extremely vigilant this time and soon discovered him, feeling a sense of familiarity. His face changed in an instant as he exclaimed, "What are you doing here again?!"

  Li Meng's body stiffened in front of the Lamborghini, and the words he had prepared to say were swallowed back down. He rolled his eyes and coldly snorted: "Chairman Chen is so kind, seeing that I couldn't make a living, he hired me as a small security guard, allowing me to work while writing!"

  "Hey!" Gaodi sneered with a smile, he was now worth a thousand gold coins per word, and naturally looked down on this kind of author who still had to work part-time to make a living.

  But Li Mang's next sentence was astonishing: "Gao Di, are you trying to seduce our President Chen?"

  Chen Zishan glanced at him, although her face was expressionless, but in her heart, the idea of expelling Li Mang had already been stirred up. Such a direct inquiry, and also in front of her, would make her equally embarrassed.

  "This...” The highlander's face turned a bit unsightly, carefully glanced at Chen Zixuan, and seeing that she still had an icy face, he felt slightly relieved. He then revealed his true intentions: "Slender and gentle lady, I have fallen in love with Miss Zixuan at first sight. As neither of us is married, what's wrong with me pursuing her?"

  "Hmm, it's not that you can't, but you don't have a bit of sincerity. You want to pursue our President Chen? Hmm." Li Mang's mouth made a humming sound as he shook his head.

  "What do you mean by this? I am absolutely sincere with Zi Shan!" Gao Di asked sternly.

  "A hundred percent? Then why didn't your new book sign with us? You don't sign, how can Director Chen see your sincerity?" Li Mang's mouth was very poisonous.

  "Who... who said I wasn't willing to sign a contract? Haven't I always been in contact with President Chen to discuss the signing of new books?" Gao Di naturally refused to admit it.

  "Oh... I see! Li Meng's tone softened a bit, and he began to execute the Sweet Stick plan: "The great writer is infatuated with writing and doesn't understand enough about men and women. I should be understanding, and this will also prove that the great writer is sincere, not some kind of playboy!"

  Gao Di scratched his head with some embarrassment, suddenly feeling that Li Meng was so pleasing to the eye, and the more he looked, the more pleasing he became.

  But Li Mang's tone suddenly changed, and he said: "You don't know this, great author, but pursuing girls can't be like you."

  "What should I do?" Gao Di couldn't help but ask.

  "It's only natural to show your sincerity first, if the girl doesn't see your sincerity, how can she possibly agree to have dinner with you? You know what I'm saying?" Li Mang said in a tone of an experienced person.

  As one of the top writers in the country, Gao Di was not stupid and naturally saw through Li Mang's scheme. His good impression of Li Mang immediately fell to an all-time low.

  In front of Chen Zishan, he didn't dare say no, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Brother is right, this matter was not considered thoroughly by me. As for the new book, I will sign with Shanhu Culture immediately!"

  "Then I'd like to thank Mr. Gao first, the person in charge of publication will be in contact with Mr. Gao next, I'll take my leave!" Chen Zixuan's face had a hint of a smile.

  Gao Di saw the beautiful woman's smile and was stunned, but thinking of the matter at hand, he hastily called out to Chen Zixuan's back: "Zixuan, how about we go out for breakfast together to celebrate?"

  "My god, you're being too stingy, aren't you? You're taking someone out for the first time and all you're getting is breakfast?" Li Mang asked with a big reaction beside him.

  Gao Di thought for a moment and felt the same way, so he hastily shouted out before Chen Zixuan could respond: "Don't bother your work, I'll treat you to a proper dinner tonight!"
